The First Of the Season.

We've often thought of sixty swears,
While climbing up the sixty stairs,
Our sanctum high to reach.
But yesterday we had been glad
If IN thas oft cussed fight there had
Been twenty stairs for each.
For yesterday We fired i man
Down that same fight 81 sans. You cal
just bet we made him sore.
On every step We made him screech-
And when the last one We did reach,
Wished there were fifty more.
Perhaps you'd rather like to know
Why we should treat the fellow 81
Extraordinary rough.

a few minutes in the water she loosed.
herself from the grasp of hel Laos
companion, Kan Tip. and floated down
the stream in front of DIR. Cheek. She
had turned round and with a smile on

she suddenly ven under. DIR. Check
made desperate and heroic efforts to
rescue her, but in vain. As but few

the bird in this way, lay it upon we'll
buttered gridiron and broil it over a quick
fire. For birds six or seven minutes is
quite long enough -.partridges require
fifteen or twenty minutes. In placing
the bird before Or over the fire be sure to
put the inner or .bonerpsrt inside. Many
people make the very serious mistake of
putting the outside of the bird to the |
fire. Have. ready a hot dish for your
bird. If the patient is so far advanced iii
convalesceneethat the physician will allow
it, you may add garnish of parsley and
butter"
The smell Of the broiling birds had
filled the room before Miss Corson finish
ed giving few hints as to the making of
nice sauce or butter for it. Putting the
tempting delicacy upon plate within
the reach of everybody's nose and just
beyond the reach of everybody's mouth,
Miss Corson lifted the slice of salmon
from the table and discoursed as follows:
"Choose nice slice of salmon about an
inch thick, and wrap it in a piece of but
tered white paper so, taking care to make
double fold in the edge of the paper all
round the fish, so that none Of the juice
may escape. Put it on a gridiron and
broil it over moderate fire for about ten
minutes, five minutes on one side, and
five on the other" In the salmon lecture,
as in the lectures upon all the other dishes,
she prepared, Miss Corson's class learned
far more through their eyes than through
their ears. Indeed, by this time the lady
was kept so busily employed with hel
beef tea, macaroni, broiled quail, salmon
and half dozen other little dishes or
the fire, that she could find time for nc
more words than were necessary. Tht
lecture room fairly steamed with agree
able and appetizing smells, which pres
emily received an important addition as
huge beefstake was lifted on to gridirol
and set before the fire. While this las
dIIlClO was lSSCLhluS HCL dCteIllOl MID
Corson gave in broken and calculator
sort of way the following recipe for max
ing white sauce for the macoron, whic
was now done: "Put a tablespoonful {
butter and tablespoonful of flour into
thick saucepan without any water, an
stir until melted then begin to add mil
very slowly until you have put in hal
teacupful Stir until the sauce is qui
smooth and free from Jumps, aud the
add another halfteacupful Of milk. Sc
son it with teaspoonful of salt, quart
of a teaspoonful of pepper, and the sar
amount of nutmeg" Among 9th
things prepared by Miss COrson befo
she dismissed her hungry class were mi
porridge, Indian meal cruel, wine whc
me- and very palatable mixture of crackt
and orange juice. Darlington Ha,Ckeye.

eve will begin" said Miss Corson,
who, according to common report, is SO
expert in her art that she is able to make
a tolerably palatable pudding out of a
small Whit of the east wind and little
pinch of pepper and salt, "with beef tea,
because it is one of the staples of
hospital bill of fare, and partly because it
takes longer to make than almost any
thing else Here you see (picking up
juicy ball of chopped meaD is pound of
beef We will put this into pint of
cold water and let soak for an hour" So
saying Miss Corson pumped it into
kettle "After this has stood an hour l
shall, as you will see, put it over the fire
and let it come slowly to boil. l will
then strain it through fine cloth, or per-
haps bit of flannel, after which l will
season 1t with pepper and salt" This
seemed to be uncommonly simple, and
one or two of the muslin-capped young
women, turned up, their. noses. The
majority were, however, manifestly de-
termined to profit by all that they heard
and took copious notes, some on little
slips of paper and others in immense
blank books. Having got her beef tea
under way Miss Corson gracefully lifted
the jar of macaroni, remarking that when
properly prepared nothing was more &C
ceptable than macaroni to convalescents.
"You will, however," said she catching
sight of the solemn face of one of the
hospital physicians who stood in the
doorway, "be extremely careful in serv
ing no dish to any person recovering
from sickness without having first con
suited the proper doctor. We will nov
