Dying of Thirst.

''Did you ever suffer extreme hunger
or thirst ?" was asked of a Kentucky
colonel who had been relating some
solid stories about himself.
"Well, " he replied, st never suffered
what might be called extreme hunger,
but no man knows how to endure the
agonies of thirst better than I do.
81 remember the time WELL" he con-
tinued, retrospectively. 81 was on a
fishing excursion and became lost in the
woods. For three days not a drop
passed my lips. Ny heightened absence
finally caused alarm and a party was
sent out in search of me. They found
me lying in an unconscious condition
on the banks of little trout stream,
and it was hours before any hopes Of
saving me were entertained"
''Was the trout stream dry?" asked
one of the interested listeners.
DRY d? Certainly not. How could
catch fish if the stream was dry ?''
"Well, don't see how you could suf-
fer from thirst with a stream of water
close at hand"
"Water close at hand ?" repeated the
Kentucky Colonel. "And what has
water got to do with a mans being
thirsty ?"-Philadell1hia EOening CaU.

A Runner.

A Mr.. Welch, of Casco, Me-, ran to
Oxford, twelve miles away, in two hours
recently with his overcoat and cowhide
boots on. After running around the
square there a few times to show them
chow kinky he was," he ran back, not
walking step or resting during his
twenty-four mile run. He is very
singular man. He has run from Casco
to Lewiston, twenty-one miles, and back
several times. He takes a long steady
lope, which he can keep up for hours.
One time, when returning from Lewis
ton, he was overtaken by a man in a
sleigh, who asked him to ride. 'I'm in
a hurry--can't stop to ride" growled
Welch. Stung by this insult to his horse.
the man whipped up and for ten miles
tried in vain to pass this wonderful run
ner; then the horse gave out, but Welch
kept on.

Domestic Recipes.

Here are two receipts for waffles one
for those which can be made and baked
at once, and the other for those which
are raised with yeast, and consequently
require several hours in their prepara-
ton. Number quart of sifted flour,
pint of sweet milk, if it is possible to
have this part cream it will be a great
improvement, if not add a tablespoonful
of melted butter. Beat two eggs very
light, salt to your taste; a teaspoonful
of baking powder should be mixed with
the -four. The batter when done should
be little stiffer than for griddle cakes.
These should be baked at once. Num-
Der 2 one quart of flour, one pint of
sweet milk, two eggs, little melted but
ter, half teacupful of yeast, or if the
compressed yeast is used, fourth of a
cake will be sufficient. When light bake
Immediately. If the yeast is fresh these
will be ready to bake in two hours after
they are mixed.
A way to utilize cold buckwheat cakes
has been discovered by an ingenious
woman. Drop limp of butter in
frying pan, put the cakes in, let them
brown on both sides, pour a little milk
over them, and send them hot to the
table, and they make an entree that is
good.
A quickly made dessert is this Make |
a batter as for common griddle cakes,
then add an egg, and some fruit, either
stewed or canned berries, drain the
juice from them, and stir them into the
batter; fry in little lard and serve |
with pudding sauce.
A new way to make filling for layer
cakes is to chop half a pound of
blanched almonds, half cup of raisins,
and small piece of citron very fine,
sprinkle powdered sugar over them, let
them stand well mixed for an hour,
then put between the layers of any rich
cake.

The Captains Wife at Sea.

Some shippers wives master the AR
oe navigation. There are a number o.
instances on record where the wives ol
Captains who had died or had been lost
overheard have taken command and
brought their vessels safely into port.
A few weeks ago a New Orleans woman,
who had learned thoroughly the art of
navigation, applied for a license as mas
ter of a vessel. This being the first
application of the kind from woman
the matter was referred to the Solicitor of
the Treasury at Washington and re-
fused. Captains wives are usually
thoroughly discussed in the forecastles
Of their respective ships. Jack judges
his masters mistress according to the
manner in which she treats him. He
usually speaks of her an the cold Wo-
man." This seems her proper title, as
her husband is invariably known in the
forecastle as the "Old Man." If she
treats Jack with kindness and interests
herself in having him made comfort
able, he changes hertitle to cold Lady. "
But if she is severe on him and cuts
down the allowances of food, or insti-
tutes other economical reforms, he will
not even honor her with the title of
"Old Woman" Under such circum-
she is apt to be ironically
spoken of as the cold Fairy" The
female relatives of the Captain usually
acquire the same staid habits as his
wife, if they accompany him on his

notony of the cabin does not suit them

land. Sometimes the mate or one Of
the other officers takes his wife to sea
with him. Then there is a chance for
an occasional gleam of sunshine in the
cabin. When all the officers of a ship
have their wives along the latter have a
much better chance for enjoying them
selves; but such instances are rare. The
Captain of the coasting steamer who is
blessed with several daughters, marries
them to his mates and the steward, and
f they hold out beyond the latter he

oppressive, when the visitor broke the
spell.
''NIiss Meredith, " he said, in soft,
low tone, ''you are of course aware Of
the object of my visit here? Pardon
me if I speak plainly"
Mary looked up but made no reply.
Mr.. Ambrose's voice was so kind and
gentle that she thought he deserved a
wife who could love him.
'Your father has told me you have no
love to give me but that you will marry
me. I, too, once thought 1 should
never love again, but the sight of you
has dispelled the illusion. Let me tell
you my story. Long years ago I loved
a beautiful young girl and she returned
my affection. 7 was then young and did
not dream that Fate would crush out
my souls dearest hope. That fair girl
was my all, my very life, and I had not
a thought of the future separated from
her. Her father was wealthy mer-
chant and his poor clerk. When I
told him I loved his daughter he
spmned me from his door and ordered
me never to enter it again. Oh, who
beside myself can ever know the utter
midnight of my blasted hopes Crushed
and broken I fed in my despair. In the
whirl and excitement of business I strove
to forget my sorrows. Fortune singled
me out as her especial favOrite. My
widest speculations were successful and
money accumulated as if by magic.
Thus eleven years passed. I returned
to the scene of my unhappiness and saw
you. Need I say that all the old love
surged up in my heart again? Once
more I asked the old merchant for his

"No, Felix, no. Take my Mary and

MARY'S LOVE ROMANCE.

In the drawing-room at Heathcot, In
the gray September twilight, Mary
Meredith and Felix Traford sat en-
gagged IN earnest conversation.
81 really cannot see any cause for
your despair, dear Felix. Have 1 not
told you how dearly L love you? No
power on earth shall ever force me to
break my plighted troth to you. Have
you no confidence in me?"
"All confidence, Mary; know you
will be true to me"
''Then what is it you fear?
Everything. You are young and
beautiful, the rich Mr.. Meredith's only
child, while am a poor clerk in the
house of Meredith Brothers, with moth
ing but an unsullied reputation, some
brains and good right hand to help me
through the world"

the daughter OF the rich Mr.. Meredith.
Dear Felix. papa esteems you, and has
implicit confidence in your honor. He
invites you here, and allows our ac-
quaintance. Why do you annoy your.
self about imaginary troubles?"
''Your father trusts me and must be
true to him, you and myself. I will go
to him and frankly confess our attach
ment I should feel miserable other
wise.
"Go now; he is in his study"
Felix caught the girl in his arms and
kissed her rosy lips.
''Your confidence inspires me with
hope, he said, and went away on his
mission. Tapping at Mr.. Meredith's
study door, and receiving permission to
enter, Felix approached the old gentle
man, who gave him his hand, saying:
"Why, boy, you are an unexpected
visitor. No bad news I hope ?"
''No, sir; but I want to ask of you a
gift so precious that I have very little
hope of obtaining it.
'WeI, well, name it. I am always !
glad to favor you if I can.
Felix was greatly agitated, but sum-
moned up ali his courage and said
Mr.. Meredith, I love your daughter.
1 do not, however, ask you to give her
to me now. Only let me hope that

Mr.. Meredith leaned back in his chair
amazed. It had never occurred to him
that this young clerk would dare to lift
his eyes to his daughter.

TENNYSoNg NER POEM

Once more the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new,
And domes the red-plow'd hills
With loving blue;
The blackbirds have their wills,
The throstles too.
Open a door in heaven;
From skies of glass
a Jacobs ladder falls
On greening grass,
And DER the mountain walls
Young angels pass.
Before them fleets the shower,
And burst the buds,
And shine the level lands,
And flash the floods;
The stars are from their hands
Flung thro' the woods;
The woods by living airs
How freshly famed,
Light airs from where the deep
All down the sand,
Is breathing in his sleep,
Heard by the land
Oh, follow, leaping blood,
The season lure!
Oh, heart, look down and up,
Serene, secure,
Warm as the crocus-eup,
Like the snow-drops, pure.
Past, future, glimpse and fade
Thro' some slight spell,
Some gleam from yonder vale,
Some far blue fell,
And sympathies, how frail,
In sound and smell.
TIL at thy chuckled note,
Thou twinkling bird,
The fairy fancies range,
And, lightly stirr'd,
Ring little bells of change
From word to word.
For now the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new,
Aud thaws the cold and fills
The flower with dew;
The blackbirds have their wills,
The poets, too.

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN, who has
conspicuously commended and recon-
mended the resort to the pistol as d con.
venient and profitable method of settling
private quarrels and avenging domestic
wrongs, ought to be satisfied with the
progress his policy is making in the state
for which he delights to form and FORM
ulate public opinion. Within the past
week the reports of crime freln Ken
tuck1 are notable alike for the frequency
Of murders and the novelty :of 6uses
which have instigated them. But in the
main they may be attributed to the
peculiar notions of rights and disregard
of lawful forms with which the leading
newspaper Of the state delights to in
doctrinate its readers.

Governor Partison's Confidential Advisers

Governor Pattison was greatly surprised
on reading the interview in a New York
paper purporting to have been held with
Col. Mcclure Of the Philadelphia Times. In
this interview Mcclure adversely criticises
the governor for appointing recorder for
Philadelphia instead of recommending the
abolition of the Office. The governor
furnishes a letter from Mcclure to the
Harrisburg Patriot to show that the latter
was thoroughly in accord with him in his
action. Following is a copy Of the letter =:
