Brown bread cut into slices and fried in ham gravy makes good addition to dish of ham and eggs.
 For corn bread, beat two eggs, the whites and yolks separately, take one pint of sour milk or buttermilk, two ta- blespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter, warmed so it will mix readily with the other ingredients; little salt. Mix all these together well with the ex- ception of the whites of the eggs. Put two-thirds of teaspoonful of soda, abso- lutely free from Jumps, into pint of corn meal and sift and stir them into the milk, etc.; then after beating the whites of the eggs, add them also. Butter a pan thoroughly, and bake in 8 moderate oven.
 A good sauce to go with plain fruit buildings is made by mixing one cup of brown sugar, one cup of best molasses, half cup of butter, one large teaspoon. ful of flour; add the juice and grated rind of one lemon, half nutmeg grated, half teaspoonful of cloves and cinna- mon. When these are all stirred to. gether, add teacup of hot water; stir it constantly, put it into saucepan, and let it boil until clear.
 A dish which never fails to give satis. faction to young people is made by boil ing half 8 cup of rice. When done anG cold, mix it with one quart of sweet milk, the yolks of four eggs, and foul sufficient to make stiff batter; beat tho whites of the eggs to stiff froth, stir { teaspoonful of soda and two of cream O tartar into the four, mixing thoroughly and after all the ingredients are vel beaten, put in the whites of the eggs bake on 8 griddle in good-sized cakes spread them while hot with little but ter and then with jam of any kind. The, may be rolled up and have the end cut off smoothly and have powdered sugar scattered over them, or they ma, be put together like sandwiches, anC then have the sugar sprinkled oyel them.

 But the white, frozen hands lay still upon the breast, and other small, living woman's hands grasped it instead. Nelly knew all the story now.
 "Here is your letter, Jim," she whis- pered. "Oh, Jim, Jim," and she laid it softly under the white flowers upon the bosom, and, stopping, kissed the waxen hands and brow. "Oh, Jim, Jim P she said again, and let her black veil down over her face, and went her way; and the gossips who stared after her as she passed down the village street, wondered again if she had ever been engaged to Jim Wadsworth, but none of them ever knew.

THE MAN AND THE HORSE.
Tests of Speed Between the Two-The
 Man Ahead.

As regards speed for a mile or two, or even several miles, there can be no con- parison between the pace of horse and that of a man on a bicycle. The horse Is far and away the speedier; but after about twenty or twenty-five miles the horse, it seems, begins to come back to the man. The relative speed of horse and man, quite unincumbered by weight, has never been tried, as it is always necessary either to ride or drive horse when he is being tried. But in compar- ing the best times on record of trotting horse driven in light gig, as is the fashion in America, and man riding and propeliing twenty bi- cycle, the conditions, taking the relative strength of the contestants into consid- eration, may be thought tolerably equal. Maud S., Mir. Vanderbilt's celebrated horse, trotted one mile in 2:09; the champion time for a bicycle is 2:39. Leaving out intermediate distances, I find that Lady Mack did five miles in 1900; Mir. Hillier has ridden it on bi- cycle in 14:l8. Controller did ten miles in 27:23!; Mir. English accomplished that distance in 2919 3-5. Twenty miles was done by the horse Captain McGowan in 58:25; Mir. English, who holds the record for twenty miles, &C., complished it 59:06,3-5. Twenty miles we'll within tho hour must surely be looked on as wonderful performance. But after twenty miles the man rapidly begins to go to the front. The best fifty miles on record has been done by Ariel in 3:55:404; but Ion Keith Falconer rode that distance on a bicycle in 2:43:5S 3-5. Conqueror travelled one hum dred miles in 835:53; F. R. Fry, on a bicycle, did one hundred miles in 5:5O:05 2-5. The same distance, one hun dred miles, was done on the high road by George Smith in 7:11:10. The other times mentioned were performed on the cinder-path. No trial has been recorded for a horse beyond one hundred miles. But tricyclist has ridden 2221 miles in twenty-four hours; and few weeks ago performer on newly invented little two-wheeled machine of strange appear ance, called a kangaroo, travelled 266 miles within the same time. It is there fore plain that in staying power a man on bicycle, or even tricycle., which is much heavier machine, not primarily adapted for racing, is infinitely superior to horse. Probably up to twenty-five miles the best horse would beat the best bicyclist; but after that distance the horse would, in yacht-racing phrase, never see the way his adversary went.- ViScount Bury, il the Nineteenth Gen. tnTy.

Wished he had Been There.

Ex Mayor Robinson, of Hartford, Conn.,, tells this of the famous preacher, Dr. Joel Hawes: "One day he came in- to my office and said: Henry, man was in my study this morning, and, right under my own roof, told me hadn't preached the Gospel for forty years What would you have done, if you had been in my place ? I said would have kicked him out of doors. The good old Doctor-a man of peace in all respects-looked at me with a queer expression for moment, and then remarked. thoughtfully: T wish you'd been there, Henry r"

A Faithful Nurse.

When the late Capt Charles H. Badger, who died here on the 26th ult., came north to reside some 10 years ago, he proposed to the old colored nurse of his little SOD and daughter that she stay in New Orleans, as he felt that here North she would sadly miss her Southern home. The mother of the children wns then dend. The reply of the nurse was, "I promised the mother of these children that I would look after them, and I must" The Captain demonstrated all to no purpose, she declaring if they left her she would follow them, and so she was permitted to come, and here she is, having de- voted many yenrs of her life to the care and best interests of the family.

GEN. GORDON'S LIFE.
His Military Career in China HHd in thc
 Soudnn.

Gen. Gordon's life was one of adven- ture and stirring incident. He was dis tinguished for lofty courage and honesty of purpose, while his brilliant achieve ments in China and the Soudan will ever hold a place in history. Gordon's father wns Q maior.general in the artil. lery, and his elder brother had preceded him in the profession of arms.
 In 1855 Gordon proceeded 10 the Crimea, where he served several months and won distinction for military skill in detecting the plans of the Russians. In 1860, when the difficulties with China assumed a serious form, a large Anglo. French expedition was sent out for the purpose of bringing the Chinese govern mcnt to terms. in which he was emi- nently successful.
 When the Chinese subsequently, ap- piled 10 the English General for trustworthy officer to command the foreign-drilled contingent, Capt. Cor don, then about thirty years of agc, was named. In almost all of his en- agreements Gordon found it necessary to be at tho front and often to lead in per son, hut he never recognized danger, and a shower of bullets was to him no more than hail.storm.
 Gordon left China in 1864 and re- turned to Eugland still Captain of En- gineers. He was given consular ap- pointment on the Danube, whence he was summoned inIS74 to Egypt by the late Khedive. The new task was very difficult and perilous one. He had to deal in the Soudan with difficulties which were only partially known, while he had to reconcile instructions that were often incompatible with tho facts of the position. For years he toiled in the cause with unAagging zeal.
 In January, 1884, at the request of the British Government Gordon undertook the qualification of the Soudan. His ar- rival at Khartoum was hailed with de- light by the people. At first there seemed some chance of success, but day by day the forces of the victorious Mahdi closed more relentless about the devoted city until the place fell into their possession and Gordon's life was forfeited in the cause for which he had so long and brayely battled.
 Gen. Gordon was fitty-two years old the day before his death.

As bright as the golden June weather Came Rose with her prayer-book and fan Through the church door, and homeward to

 We walked, and my wooing began. She chatted of anthem and sermon thought of her lips and blue eyes Of her light dainty step in the German Till vaguer became my replies. As vainly endeavorcd to fashion Some phrase that should fitly express, Or hint of, that burden of passion Which she, alas seemed not to guess. But we paused on the bridge, whose gray

A City in Paraguay.


 We were tied up at the most yellow wharf that ever saw, and in front of large, barn-like building. Going on deck found that the barn was the cus- tom house for Paraguay, and that when we went ashore we were in the city of
 he republica incognita. Most of the houses are small and old, and are built without any regard to being on the streets. You cannot imagine a more irregular assemblage of houses, but the symmetry with which the public build ings are built offset this. The Presi- dents house, government house, arsenal, barracks, and custom house stand on wide boulevards and, with the excep- ton of the latter, are as well built as the similar buildings in my American city of the same rank. The word ''asun- cion" you know, is not Spanish tor Gas cension,' as we used to believe when school-boys, but for assumption, and in the case of the Paraguayan city is well bestowed, for it is not often in South America that there can be found city that is more assuming politically, so- cially and generally. Appropriations are voted by Congress and that body also fixes the salaries of tue officials. The President receives S6,00O, the Vice. President, s3. GOO; the Ministry, sl, ,5OO; Congressmep, $500, and the Judge of tho Supreme Court, Sl5o. The popula- ton is about 300. 900, and what is strange about it is that there are only about 3O,O0O men and 270,000 women. Of course, the females are the farmers, producers and laborers. They work slavishly and are very poor. While the men sit at home and drink and smoke, they indefatigably toll and support the families.

The Terrible Rink.

{ On Of the blazing questions which the
bubble is imperatively called upon to de-
ride is how to choke the Generalization
the skating rink epidemic. That this
pew species of sport has become an cpl
slemic and that it is extending its raw
lges TO every hamlet and village in the
Ountry, is evident. Old men buckle on
be skates with the hopes of renewing
her youth; old ladies do the same thing
bat they may come to look the age
Thich they have always claimed for
smSelves, instead OF the age which is
lmed by the registry of births. Young
Ia and maidens glide over the floor so
PEACEFULLY that the wrong persons some
hmes get introduced to each other, while
FnaH boys and girls are go gleeful and
reckless that many an occiput gets
bump not recognized by phrenology.
Skating, considered as an ordinary pas
me, is innocuons. Nothing is more de-
ghtully rhythmic than the hum
the skates in unison, with
a fife and trombone. The combi-
liOn of sounds is stimulant and exhila-
ting. Even the beginner who puts on
be skates for the first time, with a GER
bin buoyant feeling that he can do the
utter roll at once, gets large amount of
lyscal exercise in a surprisingly short
|ne He is on his feet one minute and
|Rnext he is on the back of his head.
ElRgs have a dangerous disagreement
th each other, and one of them deter
lines to take possession of one side oFthe

Em takes possession of the other

The skating rink is, however, doomed.
The Catholic Church has uttered its fiat
against 1t, and the Protestant clergy have
Indulged in the severest denunciation.
Even the legislature regards it as an
