In cooking oatmeal, hominy, wheaton
grits, cracked wheat, or any of those
nice breakfast dishes, cook it in a
covered tin dish set in a kettle of boil
ing water. In this manner there is no
danger of scorching. Corn-starch pud-
ding, seamoss, farina and all other arti-
cles mixed with milk can be cooked in
the same way.
INDIAN APPLE PUDDING.-Turn three
pints of scalding milk into a pint of
sifted Indian meal; stir in two large
spoonfuls of sugar, two teasroonfuls of
cinnamon or ginger, a teaspoonfuI of
salt, one teaspoonful soda and one dozen
sweet apples, pared, cored and sliced
thin. Bake three hours The apples
will form nice, sweet jelly. To be

CREAM CAKEs.-One cup white sugar,
two-thirds of cup of cream, two eggs,
two cups flour, one teaspoonful cream
of tartar, half a teaspoonful soda. This
will make seven thin cakes, between
which spread the cream. For the cream,
take half a pint of milk, put into basin
of hot water on the stove, beat one egg
with white sugar enough to sweeten, and
add two tablespOonfuis corn-starch; stir
this into the milk when hot, and flavor
with vanilla or lemon. When cool put

Thirty-one Days in an Open Boat.

AT the monthly meeting of the South
week, Mr.. Alderman Glover, the Chair
man, on behalf of the Board of Trade,
presented J. W. Horner, a young sea-
man, whose parents reside at Wingate
Colliery, near Ferry Hill, with an alum
inium binocular glass, as an acknowl-
edgment of gallant cOnductin February
last. It will be remembered that the
bark Arracan, of Greenock, while on a
voyage from Shields to Bombay with a
cargo of Goals, took fire on Feb. II, and
on that day she was abandoned by her
crew. They took to the boats and en-
deavored to make for the Naldive
Islands. The boats kept together until
March 2, when, on account of the
strength of the current, the crews of the
boats agreed to separate and to divide
the provisions. The master of the vessel
took charge Of the long-boat; the mate
took charge of the gig, and the second
mate, Mr. David Webster, with three men
and boy, the pinnace, and made for the
Maldive Islands. At the end of two
days the pinnace was injured
by heavy sea breaking on board and
could not keep up with the gig, which
was shortly lost sight of. The pinnace
was kept working to the windward until
the 9th of March, by which time the pro-
visions and water had been consumed
Shortly afterward the men in the boat
east lots as to which man should be
killed and eaten, and the lot fell upon
the lad Homer; but Webster, the second
mate, who had been asleep, awoke in
time to prevent them from carrying out
their purpose. An attempt was made
after dark to kill Webster himself, but
Horner aroused him from his sleep and
saved him. On the following day while
Webster was asleep a struggle occurred
in the boat to get possession of his gun,
but he was again awakened in time.
Two hours after the men tried to kill
HOrner, but Webster threatened to shoot
the first man who laid hands on him.
Next day they attempted to sink the
boat, but Webster and the lad mastered
them again, Horner being the mates
trusty ally all the time they were exposed
in the boat An effort was made two
days after to sink the boat again, but
Webster and the lad mastered the crew
again. Webster shot bird, which was
devoured by them, and during the next
five days they were quieter. They sub
sisted on barnacles taken from the boats
bottom, and upon sea blubber, for which
they dived. Following these five days
of quiet some of the men became de-
hrious, and fought and bit each other,
in one of which trays a man cut another
over the head with belaying-p1n, and
blood flowed from the wound, which
was caught in a tin and drank by the
crew, included the wounded man him
self. Homer kept watch with Mr.. Web
ster all the time and prevented the men

Little Pay and Big Thefts.

A BANK-CAsHIER in the East was de-
tected few days ago in embezzlement.
He had stolen some 100000 in ten years.
When charged with the crime he con-
fessed his guilt. He had taken the
| money, so he said, from sheer necessity.
His salary of $500 was far too small to
| support his wife and his two children.
He had not been wild or extravaganza
Wine and women had nothing to do with
his downfall Two children and one
wife had He had not, like most thieves
of long standing, lived to steal, but had
! stolen to live When these facts became
known there was loud outcry-partly
against him and partly against the men
who had put his salary so low that hun
ger and cold had driven him to his sin
| We have taken this case as a typical one
| There are, unfortunately, many of them
| to choose from. 1t is worth while to in
Quire, in the light of such facts, what the
real duties of employer and employed
are. Does starvation condone sin? Is
it true that necessity not only knows no
| law, but ought to know none?
While we fail to find any justification
| for the defaulting cashier, who is him
self responsible for the poverty his i'm
prudent marriage brought upon him, and
who tries to shirk, by hurting another,
the inevitable consequences of his own
acts, some excuse can be found for him,
The capacity of mankind to resist temp
tatIon seems to be merely relative.
Given great temptation and great op,
portunity, and it is only men rare as dia
monds who can resist The brutal
price" is too often justified by ex
perience. Every man is tempted,
but few men have the opportunity to
commit great sin. When the two ele-
ments unite there is danger. 1t is the
extreme of poor policy then to give poor
pay to men in responsible positions who
have the chance to steal if they wish. 4
scanty stipend adds temptation to oppor-
tunity Is it strange that they fall? Is
it strange that the ordinary, average kind
Vi mdu, WHO KNOWS IudG HIS SeENlC6S are
grossly, shamefully underpaid, and that
as result of this injustice his wife and
children are in dire want, should help
himself from his niggardly employers
vaults? He wrecks his own life and the
lives of those Gear to him, but detection
is not thought of when want knocks at
the door. Not only of such men, but of
all workers, it may be said that poor pay
is poor policy. Ordinarily, hireling
gives only the smallest possible quantity
of muscle and mind to the task set before
him. Give him few cents more day
and you hire his brains and goodwill as
we'll as his whole strength. An employ
er who pays little more than his fell
lows can always have his pick of the la
bor-market. For one and quarter times
the usual pay he can get twice the usual
work out of his men. High wages and
high profits are not opposed, but coinci-
dent forces. 1t is emph atically true
that it pays the employer to pay the en-
ploye well-Chtcago Tribune.

The 0Ifaetory Sense.

THE seat of smell, or the olfactory
sense, is the pituitary membrane lining
the inner wall of the nostrils. 1t is a
mucous surface, laid in irregular wrin-
kles, and receiving the spreading, slen-
der, terminal filaments of certain num-
Der of nerves. The membrane, like all
other mucous ones, constantly secretes a
fluid designed to lubricate it. By the
aid of the muscles covering the lower
part of the nostrils the apparatus of
smelling can be dilated or contracted,
precisely like that of sight. This under
stood, the mechanism of olfaction is
quite simple. 1t consists in the contact
of odorous particles with the olfactory
nerve. These particles are conveyed by
the air to the inside of the nasal cavi-
ties, and there strike upon the sensitive
t1bers. If the access of air is prevented,
or if the nerve is altered, no sensation is
produced. Experiments in physiology,
in fact, have settled that the oliaCtory
nerves Tor those of the first pair are
assigned exclusively to the perception of
Odors. Loss of the sense of smell occurs
whenever the nerves are destroyed or in
jured by any process, or even whenever
they are merely compressed. On the
other hand it is a matter OF common OBJ
servation that impeding the passage of
air into the nostrils is quite as efectual
way of making any sort of olfactory
sensation impossible. Let us add that
the region most sensitive to odors is that
of the upper part of the nasal Cavities

LOVES ALTERNATE.

II was late summer. and the grass again
Had grown knee-deep; We stood, my wife and 1
Awhile in silence where the stream runs by;
Sadly we listened TO plaintive strain

An me. dead days remembered made us sigh
And brought the tear-drop to my wifes blue
