sought fresh resting place in the lap
of the bride. a shrek of dismay arose
as a large patch of the blue silk dress
assumed an esthetic gray. The bride,
covered with bushes and gravy hur-
riedly arose and left the room, and
there were some at the table who felt
they would sooner be enjoying free
lunch at a bar-room counter than
awaiting the free spread at that wed
ding party. AS for Mr.. McCloud him
self-well, he was overcome with de-
sire to sink into the cellar. He prompt
ly resigned his position as carver for
the company, and the resignation was
accepted without loss of time in dis
cussing it. Someone with a greater
knowledge of the anatomy of a goose
was elected to fill the place, and at
length the guests were served. Nc

The owner of Jay-Eye-See Said TO
Have Captured Feme Sole.
Louisville Courier-Journal

]. 1. Case, the owner of the noted
trotter Jay-Eye-See, was at Indian
Hill recently and ii is current as ru-
NOR on the streets that r. s. Veach
has sold his wonderful FLY Feme
Sole to the wealthy horse-fancy Wis
consin manufacturer. Feme Sole is
a phenomenal animal, and she occu-
pies the thoughts of those ambitious
to own the leaders of the trotting turf
in the years near by. If it proves to
be the fact that Mr.. Case has secured
Feme Sole, then against this transac-
ton must be put at least SO,
Feme Sole has never taken part in a
race, though she trotted in public at
the Lexington Fair in 2:11 and frac-
ten. She is brown, and was foaled
in 1881, so that she is but years old.
For one of her age the muscular de-
velopment is astonishing. She has
the large intelligent head of her sire,
Princeps, who already has the distinc-
ton of having got Trinket-2:14-ths
fastest so far of the Mambrino Chief
family of trotters. On the dams side
the breeding of Feme Sole is remark
able. 1t is intensely Hambletonian.
Duroc Maid, the dam of Feme Sole,
was by Messenger Duroc, son of Rvs
dyk's Hambletonian; and Lady Win
field, Feme Sole's second dam, was by
Edward Everett, also son of Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian. And this is not
all Feme Sole owes to Hambletonian,
for the dam of her sire was daugh-
ter of a son of the founder of the
greatest of all the trotting families.
The action or way of going of Feme
Sole is perfect--nothing of the sort
could show greater freedom from
everything in the way of waste mo-
nothing else, there will be no call for
but only for developing-for
unfolding what she has as heritage.

Household Hints.

a well-beaten egg is a great addl-
ton to a dried-apple pie, giving light
ness and good flavor also.
1.-THE stair-rails are dingy, their APP
pearance may be improved by wash
ing them with little sweet milk pol
ish with flannel cloth.
One of the prettiest ways i'll which
you can garnish salads in winter is to
fringe short stalks of celery, and
put around the edge of the salad
bowl. Fringe by means of coarse
needles.
If the dish in which escaloped oys-
tiers and similar preparations are
baked is well buttered, it will be
saving of time and money, for the
oysters and crumbs will not stick to
the dish.
To clean carpets: Dampen some In
dia meal, mix salt with it, and sprin-
kle over the carpet; sweep vigorously.
Take small sharp pointed stick to re
move the salt and meal from cracks
and corners.
For the sake of variety cook a fish
in this way once in while. Cut it III
slices not more than two inches thick,
and let it cook slowly on the back of
the stove until done IN a soup or gravy
made by boiling one or two small on
ions, sliced, in water, with salt, pep
per and little parsley. Serve with
drawn-butter gravy.
Grandmother's minute pudding,
which all the family liked and / alone
hated, was made IN this way: Let
some sweet milk come to boil, then
stir in flour which you have sailed;
this must be done very briskly or it
will be lumpy. Stir every moment UNI
til the pudding is about like musE.
Serve while hot, with sugar and
cream; flavor the cream with nutmeg
or vanilla.
Unless you have hired help whom
you can trust implicitly, it is a good
idea to use earthen dishes for milk in
place of tin; they are kept clean with
much less trouble. The scientists of
the present day and hour claim that
the germs of disease hide in the crew
ices OF milk-pan, and that nothing
but conscientious application of abso-
lutely boiling water will remove the
danger.
Nice bread-cake is made of two
cups of light bread dough, one and a
half cups of sugar, half cup of but
tor, three tablespoons of sour milk,
half a teaspoonful of soda, half a
created nutmeg, teaspoonful OF Gin.
namon, cup of raisins chopped and
with flour busted over them. Stir all

THE OLD READING CLASS.
BY I'LL CARLETON.

cannot tell you Genevieve, how oft it comes to
That rather young old reading class in District
Number Three.
That row of elocutionsts who stood so straight in
line.
And charged at standard literature with amabe

We did not spare the energy in which our words

We gave the meaning of the text by all the light
we had:
But still fear the ones who wrote the lines we
read 50 free
Would scarce have recognized their work it Dis

ter's thicklaid dust:
The storm It made the windows squeak at every
sudden gust;
Bright sleighbe threw up pleasant words when
travellers would pass;
The mapIe-trees along the road stood shivering in
their class;
Beyond, the white-browned cottages were nesting
cold and dumb.
And far away the mighty world seemed beckon-
The wondrous world, Of which we conned what
had been and might be.
In that old-fashioned reading class Of District
Number Three.
We took hand at History-its affairs, spires and
flames
And uniformly mispronoumced the most impOr-
tant Names
We wandered through Biography, and gave our
fancy play.
And with some subject fell in love-'good only
for one day;
In Romance aud Philosophy we settled many a
point,
And made what poems we assailed to creak at
every joint
And many authors that we love, you with me will
agree,
Were first time introduced to US in District Number
Three.
You recollect Susanna Smith, the teachers sore
Who never stopped at any pause-n sort of day

And timid young Sylvester Jones, Of Inconsistent
Who stumbled the easy words, and read the

And Jennie Green, whose dOlefuI voice was always

And Samuel Hicks Whose tones induced the

And Andrew Tubbs whose various mouths were

Alas! we cannot find them now in District Number

And Jasper JeHcks, whose tears would flow at

And Benny Bayne, whose every tone he murr. ured
in feur
dis tongue is not timid now he is an auction
And I.anty Wood, whose voice was just endenvor-

And leap"d from hOarse TO iercey shrlll with most
surprising range;
Also his sister Mary jane, full of prBdish glee,
Alas! they re both in higher schools than District

So bnck these various voices come, though long
the years have grown,
And sound uncomsOnly distinct through Memo

Why Drivers Turn to the Right.
From the Atlanta Constitution

Major W. 81. Smyth gives the fol-
lowing origin of the American Gus
tom Of turning to the right of the
road: Our ancestors drove oxen as a
usual thing. In driving an OK team
the driver walks on the left of the
team. so that he can handle the goad
or whip with his right hand. In meet
ing a wagon each driver would turn
to the right. SO that he could be be
tween his own oxen and those of the
other wagon.

A Duel in MIDI Air.

Few balloon voyages can compare,
for exciting and perilous incidents,
with one which was performed at the
time of the siege of Paris by the we'll
known M. Nader. That gentleman
left Tours for Paris, with government
dispatches, at 6 in the morning
At II he was within view of
the capitol, and while floating
in about 5000 metres above Fort
Charlton, a second balloon was OBJ
served in the horizon. NJ. Nader at
once displayed the French flag, and
the other balloon responded by exhib-
iting the same colors.
Gradually the two balloons APP
preached one another, being drawn
in the same direction by the same
current of air. When they were sep
arated by only a short distance sever
al explosions were heard. The strange
aeronaut continued to fire shots at NJ.
Nader's balloon, the Intrepid" which
began to descend rapidly. The French
flag had by this time bsen taken in by
the other balloon, and the Prussian
colors were exhibited instead Those
who were watching the affair from
below, and saw the character and
object of the pursuer, cried out that
Nader was lost. But they were mis-
taken. He had scrambled from the
car up the network of the balloon on
the first shot from the enemy, appar-
emily to stop a hole made in the tissue,
and he now descended AS the balloon
righted itself, and, CD a quantity OF
ballast being thrown out again, rose
high in the air.
Shots were then fired in rapid sue
cession from the Intrepid into the
Prussian balloon, which suddenly
sank to the ground with headlong
rapidity. On reaching the ground a
detachment of uhlans, who had
watched the combat from the plain,
picked up the aeronaut and rode off
to the Prussian outpost. M. Nader
then descended safely at Clarendon.
