FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

A delicious dish for supper or for
dessert is made by pairing some tart
apples, cut them in halves, take out
the core, and fill the space with lit
tie butter and sugar; bake them on
pie-plates; serve hot
Try this for tea some night Pick
up one teacupful of Goldfish; let it soak
in lukewaIm waterwhile you mix two
cups of cold mashed potatoes with one
pint of sweet milk, two eggs, a good.
sized lump Of butter, and pepper and
salt it if necessary; then add the cod
fish, mix all well, and bake in a but
tered pudding dish for from twenty
five minutes to half an hour; serve
hot.
Often from the slices of muttonchop
a good deal of fat is cut off and is
thrown away; this should never be
done. Put it in frying pan and "try
it out" pour off the clear fat and put
it in tin cup or basin and you have
a nice little cake Of mutton tallow that
can be used for most of the bruises
and hurts of the children. There is
nothing more healing for chapped lips
and hands.
A good dish for supper is made by
chopping cold roast meat of any kind,
and seasoning it well with pepper and
salt Then put layer of cold mashed
potato in the bottom of a pudding
dish; then a layer of the chopped
meat, with little humps of butter over
it; cover with another layer of potato
sprinkle pepper and salt. and put
Jumps Of butter over this. Bake for
half an hour in hot oven. The top
should be brown and have d nice crust
over it.
A wise cook says: Never boil veg
etables with a soup stock, for if you
do, it will certainly become sour in a
short time
There is sometimes more juice in a
can of pineapples than is eaten. This
makes a delicious havoring for pud-
ding sauce.

the question. "What choir is this?"
she replied, Il don't know the name

and B flat, which was correct. At a
public entertainment on one occasion,

went to the conductor at the couclu-

the reply that they had played in d

Mrs. Chrlstianey's Tight Laclng,
New York Time,

DR.. A. z. II. Leuf, who made the
autopsy of Mrs. Christiancy's body,
said that she died very slowly, so that
the lower parts of her lungs were
partly congested This was caused by
weak breathing and weak action OF
the heart. For a woman of her size
(she must have weighed over 150
pounds) her heart was remarkably
small; 1t weighed about or : ounces,
whereas the average womans heart
weighs 10 ounces. Her waist and
internal organs showed the effect of
tight lacing. The lower organs had
been forced down by lacing, and the
spleen was about one-half the usual
size. The kidneys were affected with
chronic Bmght's disease. When DIR.
Leuf opened the brain he found that
it was dropsical, and that a general
softening had been going on for at
least three weeks before death The
Doctor believed that the immediate
cause of death was urUmia, and that
the remote cause was Bright's dis
ease.

"Oh, Mile, do go for the doctor.
that's dear; Arabella has met with q
frightful accident, and m afraid she'll
die.
"Oh, go along with your fooling
I've no time to bother with you, said
Mile.
But you don't know how bad Ara
bella is. y
''Botherahon take you, and Ara
bella, too, was Miles unfeeling re
ply.
Now. this conversation seems very
heartless on the part of Mile. She
was the housemaid IN the service of
Mr. Pendieton, in Laurelvllle, and
the childish entreaty for the doctor
was made by little Cora Pendleton,
whose years as yetscarcely numbered
ten,
Arabella was only a doll, and in
taking her down from the closet, Cora
had let her fall, and one o.. her legs had
come Off. 1t was not an expensive
doll, and Cora had other and finer
ones, but with the strange faculty so
often noticed in older persons, Cora
liked poor common Arabella far more
than all her moro magnificent com
panions
OF course, the faet3hat Arabella was
only wood, muslin and sawdust did
not render it any the less necessary
that she should have a doctor who
could set the broken leg for her, and
so when Mile, the housemaid, rofus-
ed to bring a proper surgeon, Cora in
her perplexiJy turned to her brother
Ralph, two years her senior, for aid,
After hearing her explanations, Ralph
said
"Never mind, Cora, I'll be the doc
tor.
So Cora seated herself on a stool
and holding Arabella in her lap,
awaited The doctors visit. Soon there
came a rap at the door Ralph had
got an old hat and long-tailed coat,
and carried bottle filed with some
colored liquid, and having a paper
label attached to the cork.
Good morning, madam, SAID he
politely. My oiiice-boy states that
you desired to see me.
Eyes; my little girl Arabella has
met with a great accident. "
ALLOW me to see the child, - said
Ralph, in his gravest tone.
He took up Arabellas carefully in
spected the broken leg, and then with
a profound seriousness said:
"Ahl 1t is a compound fracture OF
the berrecellum.
Ralph had got things slightly mix
ed, but we can excuse him.
81 have some liniment here which
will cure her, however"
The liniment was simply soluble
glue, and Ralph very quickly fixed
up the walking apparatus of poor Ara
bella.
"Now, madam, she'll do nicely. My
fee will be 500
We see that Ralph had already
learned the true spirit of surgeon,
and charged a good high fee fora few
minutes work.
Cora drew out some pieces of paper
from her pocket paid the doctor, who
with a polite bow soon departed, and
when he reappeared it was in his own
proper capacity as simple Ralph Pen

A 3C0-Year-0ld Bible.
Mlnneanolls Tribune.

A curious and valuable book has re-
Gently cmoe into the possession of Mr..
S. A. Thompson, of this city, it being
a Danish Bible of the year 1888. 1t
was printed at Copenhagen by Matt
Bengaardt, and is one of the second
edition ever issued in the Scandina-
Wan peninsula. Its history is known
for the past 800 years, having been in
the Svendsgaardt family for that time,
and it contains the family record for
the most of that period. About seven
years ago it was brought to this coun-
try by L. Svendsgaardt, and, after
changing hands several times was re
Gently purchased by Mr.. Thompson in
Otter Tail county.
The book shows traces of its age,
both from its worn condition and the
style of its binding. The covers are
of Norway pine, some FIVE Fights of
an inch in thickness, and covered
with hog-skin. The corners are finish
ed in brass, figured in fanciful shapes,
WEIGH have been battered and worn
until whatever beauty they may have
once had has been lost The work is

liable chiefly for these, as being well
preserved specimens of the engravings
of three centuries ago. Quaint and
curious are some of them. The crea-
ton of Eve is one such, the idea being
taken from the literal workings of the
Scriptures. Adam is asleep, and the
Creator is drawing a fully-developed
woman from his side. A curious
thing is that in the sky, the sun,
moon and stars are all to be seen at
the same time. Many of the engrav-
ings, if not all. are made in accord
ance with modern rules of 9riel per-
spective, thing not always done in
that century.
A singular fact is that in the New
Testament there are no engravings
until Revelation is reached. The life
of Christ had not single scene, and
the only representation of Him is
where he appears to John in Revela-
ton. The value of this book is not
far from 81 COO, and Mr.. Thompson is
ia communication with parties who
wish to purchase it.

A Young Lady,s RemarkbIe Gift.

The sense of absolute pitch, by
which person is able to name any
note of the music scale which may
by sounded, is one of great rarity
Some interesting experiments were
recently made with young lady of
this city who possesses this gift to a
remarkable degree The lady sat in
a distant part of the room with her
back to the piano, while performer
took his station at the instrument.
In the first place, in order to produce
a confusion Of tone and deprive the
lady of any phi which She might
DO carrying in her mind as a basis of
reckoning, the eXperimenter drew the
thumb rapidly up and down the KEY
board two or three times, with the
hampers raised from the strings.
When the noise had subsidized he
struck single note at random, when
the lsdy promptly declared il was

she had been thoroughly tested on
the single tones without a single mis-
take, the pianist went through a series
of complicated modulations, and
