"Do not weep, my darling mamma,
For your little angel boy;
For he is so happy, mamma,
And his soul Is full of joy.
Jesus is SO good and kind,
And He says that you will come
And live with your little Charlie,
In this bright and happy home.
"Do not think that I'm in Texas,
In that cold and silent grave,
For when left you, then came
To Him who died our souls to save.

And wonder why you feel so bad,
And when you gaze upon my picture
That you should seem so very sad.

Fight again the giant deathf
Suffer over what he suffered.

No, dear mamma, it Is better
That you come and join US here,
Where we never know sorrow,
Never shed single tear.
"Won't you be Christian, mamma?
And turn to Him who loves you now
Acknowledge Him your loving Master
To his chastisements meekly bows
Then when your weary work is done,
And you lay your burdens down,
He will meet you at the river,

executors and himself hit upon the plan of

was possible for us legally to do this. So
dismissed my three servants, employed a
country undertaken, my old ships carpen-

DOMESTIC RECEIPTS.
TWENTY FOUR PROVERBS IN COOKING.

Miss Dods' lectures are full of little bits
of information that might properly be call
ed culinary proverbs. Here are few OF
I them:
/ There is a greenness in onions and pota-
| toes that renders them hard to digest, For
health's sake, put them in warm water for
an hour before cooking.
The only kind of stove with which you
can preserve uniform heat is gas stove
with it you cal simmer pot for an hour,
or boil it at the same rate for twenty min
| utes.
| Good -four is not tested by its color.
White flour may not be the best The test
ofgood flour is by the amount of water it
| absorbs.
In cooking fowl, to ascertain when it
is done, put skewer into the breast and
if the breast is tender the fowl is done.
A few dried or preserved cherries, with
stones out, are the very best thing possible
to garnish sweet dishes.
Single cream is cream that has stood on
the milk twelve hours. 1t is best for tea
and coffee. Double cream stands on its
milk twenty -four hours. Cream that is to
be whipped should not be butter cream, lest
in whipping it change to butter.
To beat the white of eggs quickly, put
in a pinch of salt. The cooler the eggs the
quicker they will froth. Salt cools and al
so freshens them.
In boiling eggs hard put them in boiling
water. 1t will prevent the yolk from color.
ing black.
You must never attempt to boil the dress
ing of clear soup in he stock, for it will
always discolor the soup.
In making any sauce put the butter and
-four in together, and your sauce will never
be lumpy.
| Whenever you see your sauce boil from
the sides of the pan you may know youi
flour or corn starch is done.
Boiled fowl with sauce over which CRATE
the yok of eggs, is a magnificent dish fol
luncheon.
Tepid water is produced by combining
two-thirds cold and one third boiling wa.
| ter.
To make macaroni tender, put it in colo
water and bring it to boil. 1t will be much
more tender than ifput into hot water oil
stewed in milk.
The yolks of eggs binds the crust much
better than the whites. Apply it to the ed
ges with brush.
| Old potatoes may be freshened up by
plunging them into cold water before cook
ing them.
Never put pudding that is to be steam
ed into anything else than dry mould.
Never wash raisins that are to be used il
sweet dishes. 1t will FAKE the puddin,
heavy. To clean them, wipe in dry tow
ell.
To brown sugar for sauce or for puddings
put the sugar in a perfectly-dry saucepan
If the pan is the least bit wet, the sugar vii
burn, and you will spoil your saucepan.
Outlets and steaks may be fried as wei
as boiled, but they must be pat into hot but
ter or lard. The grease is hot enough whei
it throws off BLUSH smoke.
The water used in mixing bread must b
tepid hot. III is too hot, the loaf will b
full of great holes.
To boil potatoes successfully When tn
skin breaks, pour off the water and let then
finish cooking in their own steam,
In making crust of any kind do no
melt lard in the -four. Melting will injur
the crust.
In boiling dumplings of any kind pu
them in the water one at a time. If the
are put in together, they will mix with eac
other.

The Old Story of Ben Bolt. "
BY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.

BY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.
Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,
Sweet Alice whose hair was % brown
Who wept ith delight when you gave her a smile
And trembled with fear al your frown?
II the old churchvard in the valley, Ben Bolt
In a corner obscure and alone,
They have fitted a slab OF the granite so gray,
And sweet Alice lies under the stone.
Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt.
That stood at the foot OF the hill,
Together we've lain in the noon-5ay shade
And listened to App Atons MILL
The mill-wheel has fallen to pieces, Ben Bolt,
The rafters have tumbed in,
And quiet that crawls round the walls as you gaze
Has followed the olden din.
DO you mind the cabin Of logs, hen Bot,
At the edge Of the painless wood.
And the bu'tonhall tree with It's motley limbs
Which nigh by the doorstep stood?
The cabin TO ruin has gone, Ben Bolt,
You would look for the tree in vain
And where once the lords of the forest waved
Grow grass and the golden grain.
And don't you remember the school, Ben Bolt,
With the master, so cruel and grim.
And the shaded nook IN the running brook
Where the children vent TO swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave Ben Bolt
The spring OF the brook is dry;
And Of all the boys who were schoolmates then,
There are only you and |.

Tis the Last Rose of Summer

lis the Last Rose of Summer
'Tis the last rose OF summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flowers Of her kindred,
No rosebud Is nigh.
To reflect back the bushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee. thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou uith them.
Thus kindly scatter
THY leaves DER the bed
Where thy mates Of the garden
Lie scentloss and dead.
SO soon may follow,
When friendships decay.
And from loves shining circle
The gems drop away
When true hearts lie wither'd,
And lone one7 are flown,
oh who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

To See Through Hole in the Hand.

Roll up piece of paper, a pamphlet,
to make tube about nine to twelve
ihches long and an inch or So across:
Put this tube TO Eopr right eye, and look
through at some object, attentively keep
ing both eyes open. Now hold up your
left hand, with its back towards YOU,
and bring it near the lower end of the
tube, looking at your hand with the lett
while yotr fight eye Is fixed Oh sorie:
thing through the tube. II you bit the
tipg tie edge OF the Hand against, not
bver, the lower end OF the tube, yoti will
be surprised to see very clearly the things
beyond. 1t is very easy, but most
Surprising little experiment, and will
please old as we'll "a voting pe0pls;
You will, of course, wish to know why
this is so, why there seems to be hole
where there is none. The scientific
journals are talking about this, but their
explanations would hardly suit young
sters. We usually look at the same
thing with two eyes, and the two images
make one in the mind. Here
we separate the two eyes In an UNUSUAL
manner, and the mind brings together
the circle fiiade by the tube for one eye
and the hand seen by the other; and
makes one of them. You can vary this
in~several ways. If, when looking
through the hole in the hand, you
stretch out the left thumb, so that it will
be seen by the right eye through the
tube, the thumb will appear to be di-
rectly across the hole in your hand.
Instead of looking at your hand, use a
card; make q black spot on the card as
big as half-dime, and look at it as be:
fore; the black spot will appear to be
floating in the center of the hole, with
nothing to hold it there. Another va
riatfon is 10 make round hole in the
card of the size of the half-dime; look
at this hole with the left eye, SO that
the real hole will be within the imag-
mary hole; the hole will appear ex-
ceedingly bright, and surrounded by a
ring Of shadow.-Anlerican Young
| Folks.

An Accidental Marine Picture.

The frost-work representation un the
window-pane of trees, castles, land
scapes, and common scenes-familiar
phenomena as they are-always excite
wonder, and often cause one to onder
on the mysterious chance which makes
these pictures in the regular outline OF a
careful design. But the ephemeral
frost is not the only material employed
by the unseen artist, as witness marine
view on wood which can be seen at
Calvin Hervey's jewelry-store. 1t looks
like an old oil painting; no one would
for a moment suppose that it was
chance picture, but such it really Is.
1t was discovered recently by Mr.. Her
vey when he had the partitions remov-
ed from drawer which he has used to
keep tools in for twenty five years. The
scratching of the implements as they
ratified around in the drawer, the action
of the oil which mingled with the rust
turned green, the dust and CRIME of
quarter of century, all had combined
to paint on these pine board partitions
a tolerably good sketch, in dull colors,
of the ocean with three vessels sailing
on its bosom, and in the distance ahead-
land with lighthouse. Mr.. Hervey
has had the picture framed in gilt, and
it hangs over his repairing bench, ready
for the close inspection of doubtful
Thomases, or any one else.-Betfast

Fooled by a Fortune Teller.

Miss Julia Lamar, young lady living
at No. 1928 Chestnut Street, is anxious
ly awaiting the return of certain fe.
male fortune teller who called upon her
a few days ago and told her fortune.
The woman charged dollar for reveal
ing the hidden future, but as Miss La
mar hadn't the ready cash, she was In.
duced to give the fortune teller an al
paca dress, two pairs of gold earrings,
breastpin and gold buckle as secu-
rity until the money could be paid, the
fortune teller promising to return and
exchange the articles for the money.
The fortune teller gave Miss Lamar a
red bag and told her to put it in the left
side of her trunk and not to remove it
until after she. was married, then to
throw it into the fire and burn it up.
This would destroy all chances of mari
tai misery. The woman said she lived
at the corner of Twenty-first and Day
ton Streets, but investigation has proven
the statement to lie false.-St. Louis
Times Journal.

A Touching Little Story.

A story comes from st. Petersburg
which is pretty enough to bear repeat
ing. Not long since a Government
functionary died in utter destitution,
leaving without friends'or relatives two
small children, one of whom was boy
about seven years old. Alone, money
less, foodless, with his little sister cry
ing for bread, he wrote on piece of
paper as last resort the petition !:
" Please, God, send me three copacks to
buy my little sister roll" This he
carried to the nearest church to drop it
into an alms-box and start it on its way
to heaven. A passing priest seeing him
trying to put the paper in the box took
it and read it, whereupon he carried the
children to his house, fed them and
clothed them. The next Sunday he
preached a sermon on charity in which
he alluded to the incident. The collec-
ton that followed amounted TO nearly
81 1,000.-LouiSUiH Courier-,JournaI.
