Nanny's Chocolate Creams.

"Dear me-" said Cousin Prue Johr-
son, yawning, I'D give half dollar for
a paper of chocolate creams"
Cousin Prue wasn't very old young
lady, and she had sweet tooth. Nanny
looked up quickly from the corner of
the lounge where she was sorting over
her last year magazines.
''Will you, honest, Cousin Prue?"
she asked; will you give me fifty cents
for fifty creams?'
"Yes;" said Cousin Prue, 'for
twenty-five. But it's showing too hard
to go out, dear"
Nanny laughed brightly, and ran up
to her mother room; because the first
step wNs always to ask mamma. In
minute she was down again with a long
apron on that reached from her chin to
her toes. She went straight into the
kitchen, and this is what she did there:
She mixed half-a-cupful of cream with
two cupfuls of sugar, and boiled the
whole for five minutes. Then she took
it off the stove and put in just tea
spoonful of lemon and stirred it until it
began to get white and creamy.
1t was in the very first place that she
filled the big platter with corn-starch,
and pressed it full of little hollows as
thick as they could be, with her new
silver thimble. Then she filled the little
hollows with the cream.
"Oh, goodn' she cried, 1--WE got
sixty-ninew
But they weren't chocolate creams
yet, you know-not until Nanny had
cut up piece of chocolate and melted
it in a saucer, without putting in any
water, over the tea-kettle.. Then she
rolled the sixty-nine Sugar thimbles in
the melted chocolate and set them away
: to harden.
Half an hour afterward she carried
fifty of them to Cousin Prue johnson,
who tasted very gingerly at first.
"Why, they're delicious" she erie d,
then. "You never, never made them
yourself, Nanny Grover!"
"Yes'm, did," said Nanny "Any-
body can that's mind to, and it's
lovely fun"
That's what Nanny said about it; and
you'd never guess that she gave her
fifty cents to little Joe Spooner to buy
chicken for Joe and his mother and his
sister Dolly Youths Companion.

Size in the Fast TrOtter.

st. Julien is full sixteen hands high,
and Maud S is only shade less. Much
diversity of opinion has existed among
horsemen as to the best height of the
trotting horse for both speed and en-
durance combined. The late Hiram
Woodruff considered fifteen hands two
inches as the best type, and cited the
swift and game mare, Peerless, as an
instance of the correct model. But,
since his day, the trotting horse has i'm
proved in form as well as in speed.
Certain it is that, to-day, the great per-
formers are large horses. Not only are
Maud S and st. Julien sixteen hands
high, but Rarus overtops them, and
Edwin Forrest and Trinket and Cling
stone and Edwin Thorne and Black
Cloud and Jerome Eddy and Smuggler
raise the standard to the same height
They are all large horses. Occasion
ally a grand performer is small, like
Goldsmith Maid and Hopeful, but their
want of size is a painful disparagement
to their will-power when larger horse
of equal speed is matched against
them. This was apparent every time
OHo lOl2, INV, udloJ CtluolIiS ouliuc VI b1o
mighty mare, Lady Thorne, overhauled
the shorter movement of the smaller
Goldsmith Maid on the home stretch,
or when the stately Rarus overcame
the rapid drum-beat revolution of the
diminutive Mollie Morris in their men,
orable contest at Cleveland before
Rarus could beat 2:20 in public or
private trials. The trotting horse may
be grand performer, and still be
small, but, other things being equal, he
will be a grander performer if he
possesses greater size. This assertion
is made in the face of the fact that
Flora Temple, for years the Queen OF
the turf, was only fourteen hands and
three-quarters high, and Goldsmith
Maid was only two inches taller. The
large horses are so greatly in the ma
jority that these two instances are really
exceptions to the rule. The large
horse has so much greater sweep and
power of stride. Moreover, he has so
much more steadiness of purpose that
he can literally wear out his smaller
rivals by the very excess of his physi-
que. So very positive has this convic-
ton become among horsemen, that
they do not expect more than a second
class performer from a small trotter.

stony tract. This is the case near Bosom
at place called Middlesex Falls. The
land here was formerly covered with
white pine; now, whole tracts are bare
and useless The people are therefore
trying to replant trees and restore the
old forest.
| lately read a pretty story how
forest was replanted in part of Swift
zerland. The people in an old town
there determined, like the people of
Middlesex Falls, to transform piece of
waste land into forest. They thought
it would be good plan to give the
job to the school-boys and school
girls in the village. SO they
gave the schools a holiday one day, and
then arranged all the boys and girls in
ranks, with a drummer and fifer at the
head, and away they marched merrily.
A wagon followed with some light
spades, and bags of acorns and nuts
and other seeds, and a good many bas-
kets OF things good to eat. The plant
ing, you see, was to be kind of picnic.
When the children-wh you NAV be
sure, were pleased at this frolic in the
country, were wondering what they
would have to 40 next!-came to the
spot, the boys were called forward and
put in line. Then spades and pickaxes
were given them, and they were told to
dig some holes several yards apart.
While the boys were digging the first
line of holes, the girls were placed in
line, one girl behind each boy, and a
bag of acorns given to each. When the
row of holes was finished. the bows
shouldered their spades and marched a
few yards forward to make another row.
The girls then advanced and dropped
two or three acorns in each hole.
So the work went gayly on until
they all took a recess. The picnic
baskets were opened, and, as every
body had good appetite, were soon
emptied. Then after another hours
work the drum and fife sounded, spades
were thrown into the cart, and all
marched homeward. The children
were all in good spirits, because they
had enjoyed their holiday, and were
proud of having spent it usefully.
There were no truants for the next few
weeks, in each of which a holiday for
planting was given, and the work was
soon finished. at is fifty years ago."

Capture Of a Family Of Bears.

One day last week, while Melvin
Gardner, who resides at the mouth of
Spring Creek, was walking through the
woods about a mile from his house, he
saw bear sitting behind a log looking
at him. Taking good aim, he knocked
her over with a bullet from his trusty
rifle. Before he had time to observe
the effect of his shot, he saw a cub bear
scampering off. Dropping his rifle, he
ran after it, and soon had it by the back
of the neck. just as he caught it he saw
another cub attempting to climb tree
near by. Though encountered by the
cub he had just captured, he ran after
the second one, and caught it by the
neck just as it got fairly started up the
tree. With both hands full of bear, he
started on a run for his house, the cubs
doing their level best to get away. Be-
fore he reached home his shirt-sleeves
were in shreds. Aiming himself with
his axe, he started back, accompanied
by his son, to look after the mother of
the cubs. AS they neared the spot, what
was their surprise to see another cub
making for tree. They waited pa
tlently for two hours, and, as q last re-
sort, cut the tree down and secured
the third cub, but it was killed by the

dead, the bullet having crushed through
her brain. She was a monster.-Eik

make it pan out $4,000. We must be
very careful, however, in buying these
burls. Their value is often greatly les
sened by the existence of hollows, some
times in the very heart of the wood,
the result of decay or malformation.
These hollow places are filled up by
fraudulent dealers with ? substance
that is made to resemble the genuine
wood, and they will then sell the burls
as sound. Manure, compressed to the
requisite degree or hardness, is much
used for this purpose. Worse even
than this is the practice to which such
knaves sometimes resort of placing
stones in the hollows to increase the
weight, for the burls, as l have already
intimated, are sold by the pound. This
fraud is liable to cause serious damage
to the valuable knives that are used in
cutting the veneers.
"HOw about our native woods? Do
you deal much in them?"
Eyes, to some extent; but for choice
cabinet work the foreign woods are, of
course, more highly priced. Burls in
ash and maple are plentiful and cheap,
selling for two to four cents a pound.
Black walnut burls command higher
price-ten to twelve cents pound
but they are getting scarce. Yes, the
demand for choice cabinet woods is
constantly increasing. In the houses
that the wealthy are now putting up,
the fine woodwork now constitutes a
large item in the expenditure. Look at
these veneers for table-covers. These
handsome designs and this artistic
ornamentation are all mosaic work,
made by piecing together small frag-
ments of wood of different colors, or in
sorting them in the body of the large
sheet that constitutes the background.
To one not acquainted with this work it
would look like drawing on wood; but
turn the sheet over and you see the lines
run through. You can get these veneers
for fine tables at almost any cost. You
can get one as low as twenty-five dollars
and you can have designs put together
at as high price as you may care to
pay"
Are there many dealers of such
woods in the United States?"
"The number is very small, but the
business is large and the competition
keen. One of our firm makes frequent
trips to Central America and elsewhere
to look for rare specimens of cabinet
wood. These trips have their attrac-
lions, but they are not infrequently &C
companied by hardships and danger"

Seeking Relief by Death.

Thursday night, as the accommoda-

the passengers were Mortified to see w.

lifeless body of a human being. The
conductor, brakeman and many of the
passengers sprang off and ran back to
pick up the remains. Upon near APP
proach and investigation the supposed
corpse proved to be live Soung squaw

and shoulders gave her very ghastly

laughingly declined to give his i'm.

A report OF the lecture Of the
Brooklyn clergyman. as published in
the Brooklyn Union, entitled IN.

In the lecture Mr.. Fulton said that
Capel had been identified with the
"Catesby" Of Beacons6eld's Lothian,
and the result was fame in England
and reflected fame in America. His
conversion Of the Marquis Of Butte
drew additional attention to him, and
he achieved q wide reputation for
proselyting prominent Protestants.

that he had understood that some

that clergymen would confne them

views. and had had no idea that any
