THE COOKS DOUBLE.

Jonathan Savage having bought a
house out of town, ard comfortably
established himself and family therein,
found himself in want OF a cook.
A young girl applied for the situa-
ton.
When questioned by he, new mis-
tress, the girl proved respectful and
apparently capable.
She stated that she had been brought
up as a cook.
She gave her name as Peggy, and de-
clared herself anxious to suit.
And having given satisfactory an
swers to all interrogatories, she took
her way to the kitchen, where she set
herself zealously to WORK without de-
lay.
"a perfect treasure" Mrs. Savage
declared decidedly perfect treas
ure."
There was no cause to change their
opinion the next day, nor the next.
On the third night, however, Mr..
Savage was surprised, on alighting
from the train, to see Peggy in her
black straw hat and waterproof cloak
standing on the platform.
He addressed her, but she did not
answer him.
And he FASTENED home, wondering
what had happened that the ''treas-
sure' should have been dismissed so
suddenly.
To his surprise, Peggy opened the
door for him.
"Well, Peggy, you must have walked
fast to get here before me-" he said,
pleasantly.
Peggy made a courtesy, but said
nothing.
''I saw you at the station, didn't 2"
said Mr.. Savage.
"Please, sir, I don't know" said
Peggy.
you've been there?"
mot to my knowledge, sir"
<'Her way of being polite and leav-
ing it all to me-" said Mr.. Savage to
himself.
But though he discovered that Peggy
had not left the house all day he
could scarcely believe that he had not
seen her.
That very evening another odd
thing happened.
Little Thomas Savage, going out to
look for lost chicken, came in with
q story.
~ thought I saw a ghost, mother, :"
he said. sit was standing by the well.
looking ever SO funny; but just as
was going to run [ saw it was Peggy,
all wrapped up in something
peggy has beer standing just there
chopping meat ever since you went
OUT said his mother, pointing to the
kitchen door.
1t was no more Peggy than it was a
ghost, but the boy persisted in his
statement.
He was so obstinate, indeed, that
he was sent to bed in some disgrace for
.contradicting his mother.
Mr.. Savage slept late next morning,
and was aroused by the breakfast
bell.
AS he hurried downstairs, consult
ing his watch, he saw the door of the
servant room, which opened on the
stairs-the room being built over the
misunderstanding slightly aiar.
And as he looked, a dark face, en-
circled by a night cap, peeped out, and
a hand, with a white frill about it,
pushed it to.
Peggy's face, Peggy's hand, without
doubt
Had to get breakfast yourself, my
dear?' said Mr.. Savage, as he took
his seat at the table.
"Oh, no. replied his wife. "Why
did you think so?"
And at that moment Peggy, in her
ordinary dress, walked into the room
with plate in her hand.
singular" said Mr.. Savage to him.
self, but made no further explanation.
1t was month since Peggy's en-
trance into the family, and she had
given every satisfaction.

MISS LUCINDA's THANKSGIVING.
BY MARGARET E. sANGsrER.


But why do 1 keep Thanksgiving,

Why? When I'm all alone in life,
Not chick nor q child to be near,

Save a little bound girl and me!
docs look lonesome, grant it;
s Yet, strange as the thing may sound,
I'm seldom in want of company
The whole of the merry year round
There's spring when the lilac blossoms
And the apple trees blush to bloom,
There's summer when great moths fit and glance,
Through the tW1l1ghtS Star-ut gloom
Then comes the beautiful autumn
When every fragrant brier,
Flinglng its garlands on fence and WALL
Is bright as living fire;
And then the white, still winter time,
When the snow lies warm on the wheat,
Anu think of the days that have passed away
When my life was young and sweet
I'm very happy woman
To-day, though my hair is white,
For some of my troubles I've overived,
And some keep out of sight
I'm a busy old woman, you see, dear,
AS travel along life road
I'm always trying aSsbeSt can
To tighten my neighbours load.
That child? you should think she'd try me,
Does she earn her bred and salt?
You've n ticed she's sometimes indolent,
OF course 1t is, but the orphan girl
Is growing as fast as she can,
And to make her work from dawn till dark
Was never part OF my plan.

Bee Notes.


Der 25, last year, unless in one swarm
the queen began to lay in November,
and unless this were the case the main
part of the bees which braved the rig
ors OF our cold winter were mainly
bees Matched in August and before.
They came through the winter bright
and apparently as strong as in the
fall
Here is a point which shows that
bees may, and do, breed in winter. A
beekeeper at Livermore Falls informs
me that, late in November last, he
superseded a black queen in a good
stock, giving it an Italian queen of his
own rearing in exchange. At the time
OF her introduction there was no brood
In the hive. Heplaced the swarm in the
cellar with others. His cellar was kept
at an average temperature of $50.
This spring on setting out the bees up
on the summer stands, this hive, with
the Italian queen introduced to black
bees III November, was found to have
fully One-third of it's bees pure Ital-
ians.
To have the bee at it's best, each
swarm should be put in proper shape
October, or at any rate when the
weather is warm enough so the bees
will cap in the syrup it is best to feed
them on for their winter stores. | be-
lieve the bee is at it's best when it sits
down to its table in winter to an ex-
elusive diet of pure granulated sugar
syrup.
A colony should be fed sufficient to
insure full supply of stores to carry
it through until May 1. do not be-
ieve it best to disturb the bees by feed
ing for stimulation, as it is termed, very
much before May frogs peep and the
swallows fly, nor even then fcold rain
storms are on the docket. Cover the
bees up warm in the fall, with chaff
hives if possible, and give them thick
covering of dry material above the
bars, and do not disturb them except
when absolutely necessary until the
swallows come.
Bees fed at any season means accel-
Grated activity. Alittle honey clandes-
timely obtained sets the whole colony
IN an uprOar. When bees are fed in
the evening, if the air is frosty, num-
bers will sally out to the entrance to
A1coAO OOlACNO OuCJ Ct1C GI1lISIuS Ill
stores from the fields, nor do they for
get the good luck when the morning
comes. Thus feeding in April to slim
ulate to brood-rearing does not re-
suit in gain, and often is the means
of a positive loss, as the increase OF
young bees no more than balances the
loss of the old ones The bee is best
let alone during the critical period of
our changeable spring weather.
1t is a bad sign to see miniature
broods carried out in the night and ~
ing about the entrance. This is
pretty sure sign the stores are short.
This condition of things should not be
allowed to occur, but be sure and feed
so that the contingency oflong swarms
may be provided for in giving an
abundance of feed at one.-Cor. Lewis
ton Journal.

Although the West has produced
towns of remarkable growth, the
new town of Deep Water promises
to eclipse them all. Deep Water Is
located on the Kansas City, Clinton

of coustruclion.) about eight miles
south OF Clinton in Henry County, Mo.
1t is near the great coal fields, and
has tributary To ii very large area
Of rich farming county, well popu-
lated. Its advantageous location
will command for it the trade of Il
ri.h farming community aud its
growth is sure TO astomish even those
who are familiar with the rapid
development of towns and cities in
tile great West.
Deep Water is better located, has
more natural advantages, and will
undoubtedly make larger town
than either Rich Hill, Mo, or Pitts
burg, Kan, the rapid growth of
which has been the wonder Of ihO.e

THEIR AGES.
President Cleveland Celebrates
His Forty-eighth Birthday.

President Cleveland celebrated his
forty eighth birthday Mar. Is. Only
one other President has ever celeb
rated birthday in the "forties" III
the White House. President Grant
was one year in advance Of Cleveland
in his arrival there, having become
President at the age OF forty-siX
years, ten months and seven days.
Cleveland was fort, seven years,
eleven months and sixteen days when
he assumed the duties of President.
Only these two have eyet celebrated
u birthday below the fiftieth in the
White House. Three others, Pierce,
Polk and Garfield, were in their
forty-ninth year when inaugurated,
though Garfield did not live to cele-
brate his fiftieth, his death occurring
two months before that date. Five
Presidents have been below fifty
years of age when inaugurated, and
five have been over sixty years when
first inducted into that Office. Four
more, Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
SON and Monroe, were past sixty
when inaugurated for their second
term. Only one of those who came
to the White House under fifty years
of age were reelected. The five
Presidents who were past sixty when
first inaugurated were John Adams,
jackson, Harrison, Taylor and Buch-
