Fifty years old if day, and her name
was Eliza Fox. She lives on National
avenue, and she made trip to the east

for making cake. She got the recipe,
got some beer and got into the station,
and she wasn't half as anxious about her
case as some Of the audience. She slow

"Use about pint of flour put in a
chunk Of butter about as large as a wal
nut, and break in"
"Now then," interrupted his Honor
"this looks bad to see woman Of your
age here"
" Well l had some beer" she softly
replied, "and break in four eggs, CRATE

" What have you to say about this

" Nothing. You can do all The talk

" l don't remember that / was. Will
you take recipe down for me before l

" l don't want it and after the cake
has baked fifteen minutes remove from
the oven and put on the frosting."
Do you want to go to the House oi
Correction?" queried the Court.
No, sir, don't. What do l want

Nor JUST THE TExT.-An old clergy
man, who was particularly happy on
funeral occasions, happened to get very
far from home, when his old one horse
chaise was recognized, and he was i'm
portuned to take part in some funeral
services where the circumstances were
rather peculiar. On inquiry, he found
two sisters, having lived in the same house
more than eighteen years, had died within
few hours Of each other, and that theirs
was the funeral in question. The old
man was unus ually eloquent, and, Of
course, quoted the lines, "They were
lovely in their lives, and in their death
they were not divided" After the ser
vices he was told that the sisters had led
a most quarrelsome existence, so much
so, that they had put board partition
between their apartments twenty years
agO.

couch, but she had not retired. She heard
him at the door, and she knew by the
way he got through it and the hall, that
he had been looking after the interests Of
the country with asslduity. Still she did
not sympathize with him. A woman
rarely does understand statesmanship.
When he entered the room he found her
confronting him.
"This is pretty time Of night to get

He stared at her with all his might, as

"Ain't drunk (hic). Sie !"
What's the matter with you then, if

endeavor to locate her whereabouts, then
he said
"Can you, as-as wo (hic) man, ash

Impulsiyely he caught hold Of the
