A Dinner Excuse.

Apologies for poor dinners are gen
orally out of place. But when a lady
has forgetful husband, who, without
warning, brings home a dozen guests to
SIT down to plain family dinner for
three or four, it is not in human nature
to keep absolute silence. What to say,
and how to say 1t, forms the problem.
Mrs Tucker, the wife of Judge Tucker
of Williamsburgh, Va, solved this
problem years ago. She was the
daughter or niece Il am not certain
which, of Sir Peyton Skipwith, and
celebrated for her beauty, wit, ease and
grace of manner. Her temper and tact
were put to the proof one court day,
when the judge brought with him the
accustomed half-score or more of law
yers, for whom not the slightest prep
aration had been make, the Judge hav-
ing quite forgotten to remind his wife
that it was court day, and she, herself,
strange to tell, having overlooked the
fact.
The dinner was served with elegance,
and Mrs. Y. made herself very charm
ing. Upon rising to leave the guests to
their wine, she said: ''Gentlemen, you
have dined to-day with Judge Tucker ;
promise me now that you will all dine
to morrow with me-"
! This was all her apology, whereupon
the gentlemen swore that such wife
was beyond price. The judge then ex.
plained the situation, and the next day
there was noble banquet.
Moral; Never worry guest with
apologies.

ming to the spot, they discovered that
the dog had scented partly -dccayed

examination TO convince them that the
remains of "Old Mag, the hag," lay
before them. She had climbed the

bly,. When near the top the limb
upon which she was standing broke
and she fell distance of thirty feet.
A large jagged stump under the tree
caught her body as she fell, and one
large splinter of it was thrust clear
through her body, impaliug her. Her
death must have been instantaneous.
A bear or some other carniverous
animal had gnawed away her feet and
hands, which hung nearly TO the
ground, and it was undoubtedly bear
that had torn her head from the body
and carried it into the swamp.
Among the De Groatses, lTinkses
and Henions the news soon spread, and
they gathered in full force to attend
Mays funeral and dispose of the body,
which had been conveyed to the cabin.
1t was on Saturday afternoon that
at least two hundred of these half
savage men and women assembled at
old Mag's cabin and held wake over
the manglcd body. They INDUCED in
drunkenness and wild orgies for two
whole days, and finally, on the Mon
day following, at midnight, they de.
parted, after having set fire to and
totally destroyed the cabin. What
became of the old womans body is
more than any one can tell, for it is
one of the customs of the Conkling
tribe to leave no trace of the grave of
one of their members Phila. Times

The Tough Bits Of Beet.

There is an old saying to the effect
that French family will live on what an
American family will throw away.
Whether or not this be accurately true,
there is at least foundation OF truth
in it. While there is a great deal OF
good hou sekeeping in this country,
there is a great deal that Is wastefu!l,
and consequently unsatisfactory. IL Is
in the matter of not getting the full
worth of their money out of the meats
they buy that many of our housekeepers
come short of their privileges. Tins
has much to do with the present high
prices of meat, and especially OF beef
An OK appears to have considerable
meat on his bones. But if any body
unaccustomed to marketing will stand
near the butcher for an hour or two he
will be astonished to see how few very
desirable cuts there are and what
large proportion there is of meat which
nobody wants, except at a great reduc.
tion from regular prices. The chief
trouble is that most people have not
learned how to cook tougher parts so
as to make them tender In fact there
are many so.caled cooks who have
hardly any other idea Of cooking meat
than to subject it to a process OF slow
torture, which makes it tougher every
minute it is near the fire. Persons who
thus cook in vain might as well buy
the tough parts as the tender ones.
Many of these people know as little
about marketing as they do OF COOK
cry.
A professional cook lecturing recently
on the subject of meat for the household
told her women hearers that they made
a mistake in not using the tougher
piece OF meat, as these pieces when
rightly cooked contain more nourish-
ment than those which are more gen
orally in demand. There is a little
secret in this connection which is not
generally known by Americans, or if
known is not as widely practiced as it
might be. Steam will do much which
broiling, roasting or even boiling are
poweress to do for meats. 1t pene-
trates the fibre where nothing else can
take effect and reduces to tenderness
pieces on which other methods of cook
ing have little or no effect Steam is as
easily applied as hot water or fire.
There are all manner of appliances for
steaming every description of food. If
a housekecper will learn to make dainty
and appatizing dishes out of these bits
and parts of meat which are despised
and thrown away it will have its effect
on the comforts of home and on the
price of meat as well.-Phila Times

A Dakota Yarn.

"Hes, sir resumed the Dakota man,
as a crowd of agriculturists seated them
selves around little table; 'yes, sir,
we do things on rather a sizable scale.
I've seen man on one of our big farms
start out in the spring and plough a
fuwow until fall. Then he turned
around and harvested back. We have
some big farms up there, gentlemen. A
friend of mine owned one on which he
had mortgage, and the mortgage was
due on one end before they coald get
it recorded on the other Eou see it
was laid off in counties" There
was a murmur of astonishment, and the
Dakota man continued: 81 got letter
from man who lives in my orchard,
and it had been three weeks getting to
the dwelling house, although it had
travelled day and night distances
are pretty wide up there, amt they ?"
inquired one. "Reasonably, rcasona-
bly," replied the Dakota man. "And
the worst of it is it breaks up families
so. Two years ago | saw a whole
family prostrated with grief. Women
yelling, children bowling aud dogs
barking, One of my men had his camp
truck pakced on seven four-mule teams,
and he was around bidding every body
good-by.' "Where was he going I"
asked Gravescnd man. ''He was go.

The Pension Swindle.


The following from n correspondent
of the New York Sun serves to show
what enormous sums the pension bills
are reaching:
The amount proposed to be appro-
priated for pensions in the pending bill
is Sl00,O00,OO0. This will make a
grand total in four years of $310,239,
900.
Under the representation that it
would cost S20,000,000, Congress
passed the arrears act To show how
fraudulent were the representations, it
is only necessary to say that the act
will cost the country, first and last,
S750,000,O00 OF this sum by far the
larger part will be a dishonest pay
ment. The swindle is going on and
growing. The pension system is a
stupendous swindle, systemized and
worked with perfect thoroughness.
In 1879 the sum was S35,121, 900,
which has grown with exact regulari-
ty till it has reached Sl00,000.000.
what it will yet come to be there is no
telling, only that so long as the present
policy lasts it will continue to grow,
Notwithstanding the vague promises
that after while there will be dim
mutton.
1t is at this point that the Treasury
is uuguarded, and no one seems moved
with resolute determination to guard
it. To oppose pensioning the soldier
is to commit the objectionable sin
But it is not to pension the soldier the
money is paid for. 1t largely goes to
those whom it was never intended
should be paid pensions. Tens of
thousands of persons ali over the coun-
try are drawing pensions obtained on
essentially fraudulent grounds. Go
almost where you will, sound, able
bodied mcn are regularly drawing
pensions-the legitimate result of the
system under which the business is
conducted. A very considerable part
of the vast amount annually appropri
ated must be sheer fraud-besides
large amounts to those who are not
justly entitled to it-uuless il be said
that whoever served in the war should
have a pension. Bad as the principle
is on which the appropriations are
made, it is vastly worse to have ii
aggravated by incompetency, or worse,
in the execution. The late Commiss
ioner Bently maintained that a large
part of the pensions allowed were
fraudulent The frightful increase OF
itself suggests such probability, Nc
real attempt is proposed TO be made to
remedy the frightful evil. The idea
seems to be that 'ihe boys are en-
titled to have chance at the over
flowing treasury, and the Commission
er appears to be disposed to interfere
as little as possible with them. The
sentiment of generosity toward The
soldier has been ahd is still being gross
ly abused

THE TIME MAY BE.


The time may come when shall fade
From out thy life, leaf decayed,
That drops from OF the wildwood tree,
Nor leaves trace the eye may see
Where 1t had hung In summers pride,
Before It withered, dropped and died,
And where another budding spring
To take Its place leaf will bring.
The time may be when shall glide
A mondays shadow from thy side,
Just like the ones the heavens cast
on streams, where feecy clouds have past;
one moment seen, and thon they are not
Their tender outlines all forgot;
And so thy memory, like dream,
May pass from of thy lfe's fair stream.
The time may come when / shall pass
From out thy heart, as DER this glass,
Before me now, my hand or face
I may withdraw, nor leave q trace,
TO tell that once fingered there,
Where others come TO smile more fair,
To charm the heart, that now to me
Is more than heaven e'er can be.
The time may be when shall go,
A melted flake of fallen snow
A mornings mlst-a meteor driven
Across the winters midnight heaven
In darkness lost, where stin may shine
The brighter star DER paths OF thine ..
That, when my eyes are closed In dust,
VIII light again to tryst and trust.
The time may be when shall fade
From out thy thoughts--all things are made
The creatures or an hour-and death
The end of all All vain the breath
That pleads for aught to stay Or save
one human hope from out the grave
Where must go and be forgot
To sleep In some neglected SPOT.

enjoying nap, aud right above him in
the gallery a young man was rolling a
large quid of tobacco around in his
mouth. As ! looked he took it out,
and pressing it in ball poised il care

that forgot to continue the sermon
but stood watching the young man
With wicked smile he took careful
aim and dropped it squarely into the
old mans mouth, With guild lp lp
the sleeper started up and with u face
red as beet rushed from the house
The people no doubt were Mortified
but | could not have kept from laugh

back for several Sabbaths, aud wher
he did he changed his seat and remain
