SEWER DEATHS IN PHILADELPHIA-Co
Banes OF the Fifteenth Ward asked consent
in Select Council yesterday for the imme-
diste consideration of petition of his con-
s,ituents asking the immediate conneo-
ton of the dead end of the sewer at Perot
street with that at Twenty. fourth street.
The Selectmsn cent in with the petition a
bundle of papers which he seemed singu-
larly unwilling to have read. A member
called his attention to she fact ths5 the
legislation asked involved an expenditure
of city money, and so must lay over under
the rules. Thus forced, Colonel Bsnes IN
willingly reoitsd the facts. The papers con-
tanned the certificates of half dozen physi-
clans and appeals of bereaved parents that
read like walls. Within four months
twenty children have been carried to their
graves from the houses on Perot street.
Others recovered after desperate illness,
and many are now lowering between life
and death. At almost any hour of the day
the carriages of dozen physicians may be
seen IN the pestilence. stricken street The
physicians certified that the epidemic was
undoubtedly traceable to the foul sir accu-
mulating in the dead end of the sewer and
forcing its way into the houses through the
waste pipes. The Chamber unanimously
approved the immediats connection of the
sewer as desired. i Pniladelphia Press.

SOME SEX DIFFERENCES

When a woman becomes Hurried she
feels for fan; when man becomes fur
ried he feels for a cigar.
Women jump at conclusions and gen.
orally hit; men reason things out logically
and generally miss it.
Women always show by their actions
that they enjoy going to church; men are
less demonsJratIve.
Some women can't pass milliner's store
without looking in; some men can't pass a
saloon without going in.
a woman never sees baby without
wanting to run to it; man never sees q
baby without wanting to run from it.
Women love admiration, appreciation,
adulation, self immolation on the part of
others, and are often weak, vain and frivC-
lous. Ditto men.
A woman always carries her purse in her
hand, so that other women will see it; q
man carries his in his inside pocket, so that
his wife won't see it.
A man of fashion hates the rain because
it derapges the set of his pantaloons ; a
woman of fashion hates it because it de-
ranges her complexion.
When a woman wants to repair damages
she uses pin when man wants to repair
damages he spends two hours and a half
trying to thread a needle.
A woman can sit in theater three hours
without getting all cramped up, catching
the toothache, or becoming faint for want
OF fresh air a man can't
When a woman is asked by fond lover
for heart and hand and says "Ao," she don't
always mean it when a man is asked by a
jovisl friend if he will take something and
says mo, he don't always mean it, eitaer.

cream, two cups of sugar, three eggs, q
quart of -four, into which is sifted two tea
| spoonfuls of baking powder; season with
cinnamon /; cut into rings and fry in lard to
light brown.
An extremely simple way of ornament
ing the square of flannel which you put
over the baby in his carriage is to crochet
a row of open work and smsll scallop on
the edge, and run bright ribbon through
the open spaces.
If the family is very small, and large
losves of bread are likely to become stale
before they can be eaten, it is good plan
to make two little loaves for one tin. They
will keep their shape all right, and will not
run together or adhere any more than rolls
or biscuits do.
Apple custard pie should be baked with
an under crust only. The filling is deli
cious if made of one pint OF sweet milk,
one pint OF smooth apple sauce, well sweet
ened, th-ee eggs flavor with lemon or
with little cinnamon. This will make
two smsll.sized pies or one very large one.
a pretty bag to hold cards is made by
taking two squares of pastebosrd OF the
same size and covering them with satin
on the upper part of the outside one put
on a lid of velvet or plush ; finish tie
edge with cord and hang by narrow rib
bons. The back need not be covered with
satin silesia of the same color can be used.
The bag should be lined.
A fine chicken soup, which is not only
palatable but highly nourishing may be
made by cutting the fowl into small pieces
and lay in salt water for a half hour; put
it in soup kettle with three and one.half
quarts Of water season with pepper and
one onion. When the fowl is tender re.
move il and add to the soup two we'll
beaten eggs, cup of milk and dozen
butter crackers.
Nothing is more wholesome and nutri-
tious for breakfast than good graham
gems. Try this way of making them
One pint of sour milk, one egg, one spoon
ful of sugar, pinch of salt, teaspoonful of
soda and enough good fresh graham flour
TO make stiff batter. Baked in creased
gem pans, or pour the batter into a large
bread pan and bake like gingerbread.
They viii be delicious, light, puffy and
wholesome.
Now is the time of year to enjoy seal
Hoped oysters: Take two quarts of oys-
tiers, half cupful of butter, half a cupful
of cream or milk, four teaapoonfuls of salt,
half teaspoonful of pepper. two quarts of
stale bread crumbs, and spice, If you
choose. Butter the scallop dishes and
put in layer of crumbs, and then one OF
the oysters. Dredge with the salt and
pepper, and put small pieces of butter
here and there in the dish. Now have
another layer of oysters, seasoning as be-
fore; then add the milk, and, finally, a
thick layer of crumbs, which dot with !
butter. Bake twenty minutes in rather
quick oven The crumbs must be light |
and faky. The quantity given above is
enough to fill two dishes.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The Lessons OF the Year

You are larger now than year ago,
And the stories and the lessons they, too, mus
grow,
And come t, your minds with fresh. new look
On the ullearaed page Of this old, old book.
But have you, my desrs, learned everything
The brave old year in its arms could bring:
On, all the lessons the school book brought,
Perhaps-but the other ones; Have You thought
That never blossom looks up but tells
Some story OF how its sweet heart syells
With grateful love TO HIM who inside
Its beauty Of sunshine, rain and shade;
That never butterfly sips o. bee,
The nectar too little for US to see,
But out of the picture lesson goes
OF HIM who made clover and bees and rose?
That never ripsned apple falls,
Nor grape vine PUPPIES on Gull old walls,
Nor a nut comes rusting through the leaves,
Nor 4 vain goes laden with harvest sheayes,
But in each and ell bright eyes may find
How wise and changeless aud heavenly kind
Is He who fashions the endless store
Which besses the New ear more and more?
And not alone while the warm skies glow
Are written the lesson for us to know
But the snow and the ice have truthful word
OF Him whom We worship and call the Lord
They hide the roots Of the honey flowers,
And the trees whose fruits fall thick showers,
And in all the earth and air and sea,
There are stories and lessons for you and me.

THE EDITORS WIFE.

Eugene Field, Of the Chicago Daily Neeos, was
asked to respond for " The Editors Wife" which
he did as follows:
No eloquent thought and no flowing word
That the most of you, ist'ning enrAptured have
heard
Could allure me from yiands so temptingly spread
That I've missed the extempOre speeches you've
read.
But my heart beats responsive to one theme di-
vine
The women we drink to in bumpers OF wine
So throw down my napkin, my fork and my knife
To speak to the toast of the editors wife.
And of course you'll agrees since our wives are all
To brighten the scene and partake of our cheer
That the best OF all angels kind Heaven has sent
To bring man sympathy, peace and content
To add TO his JOYS and lessen his woes
To sew on his buttons and patch up his hose
And 10 smooth out the kinks and the wrinkles Of
life,
Is the idol We worship-the editors wife.
When the editor comes from his office at right,
At very late hour, in q dubious plight,
The impression prevails and the story is told
That an editors wife can be always cajoled
With a fib about bridges" and broken-down
press -
But We who have been there are free to confess
That when husbands are late and suspicious are
rife,
1t is best to own up to the editors wife.
All such fables are cruel, and men are unkind
To libel a Of such generous mind
A sex who economize all through the year,
That We may afford to exhibit them here;
The women who scrmpingly, patiently wait
For the annual feast at three dollars per plate
For all the wild Joys in the circus OF life
A banquet seems best t. the editors wife.
But all jesting aside since dimy surmise
That the ladies It gard me with sinister eyes
VINO more than the wife of our bosom deserves
The sweet yeneration her beauty preserves!
And the years may go by, and our heads may grow
white
Her beauty lows ever as pure and as bright
As when she faced poverty, sorrow and strife,
And blessed our estate as editors wife.
And some OF US, CHANGING back over the years,
Can call up sweet visions all hallOwed with tears
dress, or toy, or a hood that is torn,
Or 4 quaint little shoe that baby has worn;
Or 4 white little face lying under pail,
And EOss-c covered grave over yonder-that's all
But We know the great grief that has clouded the
life
And broken the heart of an editors wife
You may drink to your trade and your creatures Of
fame
| raise not my glass till hear sweet Nance
lis TO her who alone uucompainiugiy bears
The ali OF her SORROWS and most OF our cares
Whom the wealth Of sweet influence subtly in
spires
Our grandest achievements and nobest desires
It's 10 her l would uriuk our companion in life

A " Penguinnery."

In each nest of the penguin, which is
found in Terra del Fuego, sits one young
hslf-fedged bird. as the "jackass pen
gum lays and hat,he but a sin. / egg, Many
of the nests have old birds standing beside
them, each occupied in feeding its solitary
chick, duckling, goslipg, or whatever the
penguin offspring may be properly called.
This being of itself curious spectacle,
the disappointed egg hunters stop while
to witness it for they are still outside the
bounds OF the ''pengulnnery," and the birds
have as yet taken no notice of them. By
each nest is little mound, on which the
mother stands perched. from time to time
projecting her head outward and upward,
at the same time giving forth queer, chat
tering noise, half quack, half bray, with
the air of stump orator haranguing an
open-air audience. Meanwhile the young.
ster stands patiently waiting below, evil
IDENTIFY with foreknowledge OF what is to
come Then, after few seconds of Guack-
ing and braying, the mother bird suddenly
ducks her head, with the msndlb.es of her
beak wide agape, between which the tledg-
ling thrust its head, almost out Of sight,
and so keeps it for more than a minute.
Finsl Withdrawing 1t, mp again goes the
head OF the mother, with neck crsned cut,
and oscillating from side to si5ein second
spell of spaech.making. These curious ac-
lions are repeated several times, the entire
performance lasting for period of nearly
a quarter of an hour. When it ends, pos
sibly from the food supply having become
exhausted, the mother bird leaves the H.
tie gluten to itself and scuttles off sea-
ward, to repleni,h her throas-larder with
fresh stock of molluscs. -[CaItain Mayne
