WHY Pores CHANGE THEIR NAMES
It il fact generally known that monks
and nuns on assuming their vows, and
Popes on ascending the pontiical throne,
usually change their names. The reason
of this change in the case of the Popes is
a ksuperstiti0us belief that unless this is
done the new Pontiff will not live long.
The custom has prevailed since it was in
augurated in 056 by Octavian Cont, who
assumed the name and title of John XII.
Julius Medici would have mace breach
had he been permitted, but his friends
prevailed upon him to take the name of
Clement, he being the seventh Pope to
bear that name. Thirty.two years later,
in 1855, Marcellus Servius was elected,
and insisted upon retaining his own name.
As Marcellus H., therefore, he assembled
the throne on the 9th of April. He was
q young man and in robust health, aud
yet he lived hut twenty-One days after
his elevation. since that time no Pope
has scntured Ia offend against the fradi-
ton. IL 10 little singular that while the
name Of John has been favorite one, no
less than twenty -oae Popes having chosen
il, none have chosen il since the death Ut
John XNII, in l4iS- The frst Pope beAs-
ing the name Of ifus took the positsos in
l4s, and the name dad pos rrAPpeax afser

boiled dumplings that will not get heavy,
I will send one, generally used in our
family with good results. But first, let
NO state few facts that may not be

. steady simmer is best. Aud lastly, do
not cook too long-twenty minutes il
ample time for cooking. A good way to
determine when done is to put q few in the
oven to bake, whom tho dumplings are
dropped in to boil. 1t takes no longer to
boil them than to bake them, when cut

OIL.CLOrH AROUND STOvEs.-When
oil-cloths are put down around stoves,
they wear out ON the edges unless pro-
tected il some way. Strips Of zinc are
used by some, but are not so good as
common carpet binding, doubled and
tackled along the edge, or one edge of the
binding put over the oil-cloth and the
other under, and fastened with tacks.
Strips of full cloth-gray, or any shade
to suit the tas,e-will answer very we'll,
and can often he cut ont of the best part
of q garment that has been thrown by.
For a common room, this last is As good
a. anything, and is the most economical.

spru a. the water boils I-pur in oae part
meal. These Coarse meals do not require
stirring in. Let IL lspil up snArtly until
II sets, Or is evenly difused through the
water. then set il back where il will not

where it will barely simmer. Let cook
an hour at least, and two hours, if posi-
BILE. II the time is limited, put it ascak
beforehand, and stir it when heating it
up. After that it requires no stirring.
The sliminess often complained of is due
to the constant stirring which some cooks
practice. The surest way to avoid scOrch-
ing is to cook it in a double kettle
or in q tin dish set into a kettle of
boiling water; then all the attention II
requires is to keep water in the kettle
beneath and to see that it boils. Disturb
as little as possible when dishing, and
allow it to stand a few minutes before
serving. With the Scotch and other fine
oatmeals the process is much the same,
only they require much stirring while
setting, and the proportion of meal is
greater after that. 1t is particularly i'm
portant not to stir them until served.
The time required to cook them is less,
but an hour is none too much to get the
best results from the Scotch, or Canadian
as it is sometimes called. But no amount
of cooking will make them equal to the
coarser kinds in delicacy or flavor. A
coffee-cup of oatmeal will suffice for five
or six persons as the main dish for break
