A BASE BALL BALLAD.

J. Smith is dead. That fine young man
We meier shall see him more,
He was member of our club
Since 1854.
His private virtues were immense,
His manner free and bluff;
He wore a paper collar. and
Was never known to mutt.
He rarely took drink more strong
Than lemonade or pop;
He hated drunkards, and was a
Magnificent shortstop.
His nose was Roman, and his eyes
Continually were peeled;
He made splendid umpire, and
A beautiful left field.
His hair was red and shingled close;
Much sunburned was his face:
He never showed with more effect
Than on the second base,
Being a man, he had his faults,
And likewise have we all;
He felt preference for the New
York regulation ball.
Though not a matrimonial man,
He dearly loved a match;
And, like his sisters, had but few
Superiors on the catch.
He had a noble mind, as exc
A very supple wrist;
And when he pitched he gave the ball
His own peculiar twist.
Of politics and church affairs
He held restricted views;
His feet were usually encased
In canvas, hob-nailed shoes.
But he is gone. With ms and outs
Forever he is done;
He broke his heart and hurt his spleen,
IN making home run.
His body we have planted now,
His soul is in the sky;
The angels reached from heaven down
And took him on the hy.

(From the Bradford (Eng.) Observer.

ltrOm the bEaQIOTu kEuRs) ODsSIfeT.I
a somewhat noteworthy event took
place at Girlington Hotel, Girlington,
Monday night, June 25th, at party
given by Mr.. Benjamin Hammond, of
Walmer Villas, Bradford, in celebration
of his 10Th birthday. The party con-
sisted of about sixty of Mr.. Rammond's
relatives, and thirty two of these. who
are nephews and nieces of Mr., Ham
mond, were presented, greatly TO their
surprise and delight, with 9740 each,
the total amount reaching 923, $50. 1t
has been custom of Mr.. Hammond to
give an annual birthday party to his re-
latives, or for them to entertain him, and
on several of these occasions previously
he has disposed of upward of 912, 900 in
this way. Mr.. Hammond is without
children, and his wife not long ago, in
imitation of his example, distributed be-
tween "a, 900 and 95, 900 to the members
of her own family. Between them Mr..
and Mrs. Hammond have distributed
more than 940, 900 among their relatives
during the last few years. MIR. Ham
mond, who acquired his wealth in Brad
ford's palmiest days, was formerly in the
wholesale cattle-dealing business, but he
has lived in retirement for some time
past He was born almost next door to
the Girlington Hotel, where the distri-
button took place, and his father-who
was but q kingman-founded fam
lily which is now most numerous and
prOsperOus.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
FANCY BANNERS.

| Pretty banners for. the wall or small
scteens are made by taking strip OF
silk or satin and applying the hand
some woven rosebuds or pansies which
can be purchased on cards at stores
where fancy goods are kept. Tasteful
! fringe can be made by ravellng out the
ends of the silk and tying it IN knots.
RASPBERRY AND CURRANT JELLY.
If you want to make jelly of red rasp-
berries and currants use them In this
proportion: To eight quarts of berries
allow three of currants. This makes de-
licious jam. The fruit should be boiled
and the scum taken from the top before
the addition of the sugar. After this is
put in let it cook just long enough to
dissolve the sugar.
DELICIOUS SAUCE.
Currants and raisins cooked and
canned together make delicious sauce.
They should be thoroughly cooked be-
fore putting the sugar in. AS you stir
them crush the currants with the spoon,
to let the air escape. A good deal of
sugar should be used; the pound for
pound rule is a good one. This makes
an excellent meat sauce, and pies with it
are luxurious.
BERRY PUDDING.
Whortleberry pudding may vary the
molasses, half cup of water, three cups
of -four, one teaspoonful of soda, little
salt, and liberal pint Of berries. Boil
for three hours, or bake In buttered
basin until DONE You can try this as
you do cake, with a broom splint. If
the dough does not adhere to it, it is
sufficiently cooked.
A FINE PUDDING.
An appetizing pudding is made of
two lemons, two eggs, AID two cups of
sugar, and four tablespoonfuls of corn
starch dissolved in a little cold water.
After this is dissolved, stir it IN two
cups of boiling water; then add the
beaten yolks of the eggs with the juice
of the two lemons and a little of the
grated peel; lastly, stir in the sugar, put
this in pudding dish and let it bake
for half an hour. If the oven IS hot,
this will be a long enough time. Then
draw to the edge of the oven, and spread
over the top of the pudding the whites
of the two eggs; beat them to froth,
Win neap1nS tablespoonful OF sugar
added. Let this brown for two or three
minutes. This pudding is full as nice
when cold as when warm.
A NEW STAND-COvER. r...
The ingenious woman without much
money, who is constantly on the look
out for some way by which she mag
brighten her home at small expense,
and who, by the way, is to be met al
most everywhere, should read this:
Take your old black walnut or ebony
stand and have it nicely dressed with
oil or varnish, as best BELTS its lost es-
tate; then have piece of wood cut out
the same shape as the top of the stand,
whether square or round, but not of the
same size; leave a margin of one or two
inches all around; cover this extra top
with plush (the plush may be pasted,
glued or put on with mucilage); then
glue this to the top of the table. This
is very pretty addition, and any orna-
ment set on this plush covered stand
shows to excellent advantage.

More ingenious Than Gallant.
From the Leesburg News-Advance.l

Two or three bellies while walking out
the other day came to ditch near the
railroad grade at Montclair which they
did not know how to get over. Seeing
a young man coming along the road,
they appealed to him for help, where
upon he pointed behind them with a
startled air and yelled out, snakes!'
The way those girls crossed that ditch
was a sight to behold, and the young
mar lives.
