and beholding in front OF him what he
thought was a fireplace, thought h.

draw well. He accordingly took down
the lamp and set it on the floor, COM

A Marriage on Speculation.

The French entered Amsterdam on the 10th
Of January 1915. The soldiers stacked their
arms en- the pavement, and waited anxiously
for their billets for quarters.
Despite the severity of the weather the
citizens turned out in large numbers to vel
come and admire tho veterans in their rags
There was general rejoicing throughout tho
city, which for the most part was illuminated.
At the extreme end of the town there was a
single house, whose dark, forbidding aspect
was in strong contrast to the brilliant appearance
of the seighboring buildings. 1t wss the resi-
dence of the rich merchant, Meister Woerd0D
He was completely absorbed in bis commercial
operations, and neither knew nor cared to
know what was going on in the political world !;
and then he was too familiar with the rules OF
scenomy to think of squandsring candles on an
illumination.
Az this moment, when all was Joy and enthu.
siasm throughout Amsterdam, Meistsr Wosr-
den sat quietly in his big arm chair beside the
frs. On the table there was a little brass
lamb. a mug of bear, aud big clay pipe. Ou
tbs other side of the fire sat an old maid'ser
yant, whose rstundity betrayed her Flemish
eririn. She was occupied in showing back the
Goals that had fallen out on the hearth, wher
there came a loud knock at the street door.

Sydney Smith is the original inventor of the
facetlOus remark, so often parodied aud per-
verted since, OF the missionary and the canni-
bal. AS one of the brethren Bishop Selwyn)
was about to leave England for the South Sea
Islands, the witty parSon expressed the wish
that if the canHibals ate him he might disagree
with them. From that date onward the habits
OF the islanders and the exposures of the mis-
sieRaries have been the theme of very frequent
amusement, though it is not known that the
natives have enjoyed much consolation in that
kind Of food of late years. They take tho
missionaries in a good many other ways.
When the King of the Cannibal Isles came to
Washington last month, his fondness of oysters
led to the following suggestion to q member Of
the Board of Foreign Missions from a dis
tinguished publicist: Il can net deny myself
the pleasure on this occasion of communicating
to you discovery of considerable importance.
King Kalakaua finds raw oysters aa excellent
and satisfactory substitute for cold missionary.
Might it not be well tor you to suggest to the
Rev DR.. P (whois, Think, an A. B. F. VI. }
that he would do well hereafter to send cut to
the islanders in the Pacific supply Of Saddle
Rocks2 This expedient might diminish the
consumption and prolong the usefulness OF his
missionaries. 1t would be remarkable if that
noble and inoffensive animal, the American
oyster, Should prove instrumental in the rsfor-
nation of the heather, and (by frank move
ment, as it were) extrpate the absurd practice
of cannibalsm. This discovery would seem
the more important because there have lately
cOme complaints that as the islanders increase
in numbers the supply of missionary is made
quate to the demand, and the weaker brethren
have sometimes to go hungry"

TOUCHING ELOQUENCE.--They have a very
rhetorical magistrate in Detroit. An Indian
was lately arrested for drunkenness, and brought
before him.
Child of the whispering forest, son of tho
grassy plains, it grives my spirit to see you
here, said his honor. Only few more moons
will come and go before you will be gathered to
the happy hunting grounds Of your brothers
gone before. You are an aged tyee. Time has

many did they number now there is nothing
lett OF your tribe but yourself, two old army
blankets, and shotgun with the lock out Of
repair; Son Of the forest, why is this thus,
and what do you mean by coming into my
| trapping grounds and getting drunk?"
The white chief has spoken many wise
words, replied the Indian, in measured tones
resting one foot on the edge OF spittoon. My
race has fallen ike the eaves-been washed
away 0s water washes out the marks of chalk.

The STREET CAR DRIVER He gets up
early-very early-and by the dim light of
tlckerlng candle hastily disposes of cold
lunch. Then he HES in all haste to the barn,
takes charge Of car-the self-regulating and
seltcOlleeting kin1-and with good cheer COM
mences his route. He goes but few blocks
when he picks up a passenger. and then COM
mences tor the day the quick motion of the
elbow in braking and unbraking the car When
the car Is full of passengers then the perspira-
ton pOurs down his face Hiseye must watch
the fare box, the passengers and the vehicles
dartlng in front of the car. At one of the
crossings nervous old lady rings the bell.
The driver Is about to stop when she rings
again, thinking he has not heard the call.
Then another passenger grasps the bell.strap
to steady himself as he rises to GO OUt, and
cling goes the bell again. Two or three other
persons now interest themselves and ring to
make sure that the ear stops for the old lady.
BY this time the car has reached another block,
the driver is gently invited to warm place,
and nobody has kind word for the musclc-
straining he has undergone. This kind of per-
tormance goes ca during the day sufficient
number of times to cause an AGATE sensation
in the back of the neck. At noon the driver
receives another cold lunch, eaten while the
car Is in motion and many ayes watching him
while he hastily dispatches the food. At eve
another trial awaits him. The car becomes
loaded on each up and down trip, and he must
go through much neck Straining to make sure
that the fare has all been paid Another cold
ldnch Is given him to sustain his bodily
strength, and about ten or eleven o'clock he
drags his weary limbs homeward. feeling as
though he needed half-dozen bottles of sweet
oil rubbed on his joints to prepare himself fox
another day OF such labor.

REMAINS OF ROAST BEEF.-To make de-
icious dish at small expense, from the remains
OF yesterday dinner, the following receipt is
offered: Take off with a sharp knife all the
meat from tho bones If there are few nice
slices, reserve them, if most convenient, to be
eaten cold. Chop tho rest fac in tray. Take
cold gravy, without the fat, and put in spider
to heat If you have not this, some of the
stock, or water in which the meat has been
boiled. When it boils up sprinkle in salt, and
put in the minced meat; cover it and let it
stand upon the FIRE long enough to heat
thoroughly, then stir in a small piece of butter.
Toast bread and lay in dish and putt meat
over it. The common error in heating over
meat, sliced or minced, is the putting it into q
Geld spider, with too much fat, and cooking it
long time. This makes it ely and tastelsss.
Almost all meats VIXEN cooked a second time
should be done very quickly The goodness Of
those dishes depends much upen their being
serusd hot. The rare portions Of rib roast
which may not be consumed the day it is
cooked may be treated as follows: Cut in very
thin slices the very rare portions of the beef,
and frizzls them in butter over quick fire aud
serve hot. For breakfast there isnothing nicer.

presided. Mrs. Stanton, in her opening ad-
dress, said that self government was the great
subject now occupying public attention, and
Democrats and Liberal Republicans are pro-
claiming the inaisnable rights OF the people.
1t would seem that libsrty-leving statesmen
might be easily converted to woman suffrage.
They need adopt no new principle, but only
extend the rights they now denand for
Louisiana to woman. Miss Susan B. Anthony
read long report Of the proceedings of the
association during the year, showing it to be in
Hourishing condition. Several speeches were
then made, including one by Mrs. Lily Devsr-

utll.zlng the Grasshopper.

Porfessor Thomas Taylor, Microscop-
ist of the Department of Agriculture
and the inventor of the plan for utili-
zing the grasshoppers that annually in
fest portions Of some of the Western
States and Territories, is sanguine OF the
immediate success Of his invention,
which by the way is not patented. he
has subjected quantities of grasshoppers
to the most searching microscopic and
chemical analysis and found them rich
in oil, and by the iodine test highly nj
trogenous. After extracting the oil by
either Of several processes, the residue
can be converted into a rich fertilizer,
worth in the market from thirty to fifty
dollars per ton. Or it can be used in
the manufacture of Prussian blue and in
gold and silver plating. In cases where
it is not practicable to use the residue in
the manufacture of chemicals or fertili.
zers it can be purified and mixed with
corn meal and made into nutritious ar
tiele of food, highly relished by the In.
dians-equal to pemmican of Arctic com.
merce; and in this way be useful in sol
wing the Indian question, or rather the
question of feeding them economically.
Since the days Of the Pharaohs no one
has until now proposed any practicable
method of utilizing grasshoppers that III
some regions darken the atmosphere as
far as the eye can reach and can be mosi
easily and cheaply gathered by the hun
dreds Of tons. No one has, SO far as ]
can find, oven thought of making {
chemical analysis of the insect until Pro
fessor Taylor took the matter In hand
and demonstrated that what has beel
considered for thousands of years as /
terrible curse is really source of incal
culable wealth. ~"
While the battle fields Of the Ok
World have been ransacked for bone
and the Peruvian guano Islands nearl,
exhausted, the vast fields Of the trans
Missouri region covered at times with
: richer fertilizer, more valuable than gold
have been wholly untouched and the in
sects left 10 raVAgs the country. Mr.
; Taylor has shown oOnclusively that th
grasshopper can be made a source Of na

Pleased with their success thus far,
the boys laid their plans for TO- -norrov
and fell asleep. Tomorrow cArie, and
IN the afternoon Tom again repaifed %
tbe library with his boot-blacking box.
The old gentleman appeared, smiling,
but in something more Of hurry than
usual
"Here you are, " saidhe. "Here's the
little polisher. Never mind the boots
now, but here's the fifty cents, and
here's the book. Take it to the same
place, and mind and say nothing about
it,"
He put the book in Toms box exactly
as he had done ON the day before.
"And how is business to-day, ladl'-
in joking tone. "How is your Hon.
estyl How goes the tuneful brush to-
day, eh3 Ha, hal See him blush" -
"You are the one who ought to blush,
sir, " said dignifed voice from behind,
Pale as ashes, the terrified old man
turned and saw the chief librarian and Q
policeman enter from side-room, while
Patsey Regan, grinning brought up the
rear.
"Sir," said the librarian, bending
upon the culprit look Of severity, "yor
have been detected in fagrrnt theft
and we now believe you TO bethe person
who has been stealing books from thii
library for the past two years. You
apartments must be searched (the ole

one of whom you endeavored to max,

and they shall be rewarded as they de
serve. Policeman, take him into Gus
tody."
There was no appeal. The old mar
wept and begged for forgiveness, but
the Librarian was inexorable. Both Ton
and Patsey felt uncomfortable, but the
librarian reassured them.
"You have done well, said he. "You
have be true and faithful to what was
right, and you deserve praise, too, foi
the shrewdness of your management
Come, with me-" and SO saying, he led
them out of the hall. The old man was
taken away by the officer; but on ac-
count of his age, And his past services as
assistant libTarian-which office he had
held in the library--he was never tried,
though, of course, he was made to re-
store all the books he had stolen.
Tom and Patsey were led into the
library, and we're not only awarded for
what they had done, but found also in
the librarian warm counselor and true
iend.-Youth's Companion.
