atory to grand review to be held on the day of
Epiphany. The colonel in his glittering uniform,
riding on his fiery charger. made beautiful
picture, and could not help expressing my opin-
ion to Russian reporter that he (the Coionel)
occupied an enviable position.
"On the drilling grounds" answered the re-
porter, "he is indeed a grand figure but In
private life he is as poor devil as the rest of u.s.
He belongs to the honorable but miserable class
of the educated poor. You ought to this

admitted only those who have received higher
education, are working hard to make both ends
meet
The common salary for all these men is only
about two thousand roubles year. Twenty five
years ago that amount of income was considered
sufficient, but the conditions of life have greatly
changed since then. Still, the imperial govern
ment sticks to that 2000-roubles standard, and
the result is that the highly educated and hard
working men, who in all other countries earn
comfortable living. here in the Cars country are
miserably poor, always trembling for the fate of
their families. am told that most of the pro-
fessional men of this country, when they die, are
buried by subscriptions among their friends, and
that their families become paupers.

officers, and all the educated men, except mer-
chants. are somehow imperial officers; but his
Majesty cannot control the price of the necessa-
ries of life, and hence the trouble.

cloves; then add by degrees one
%coffee-cup of sweet milk, and beat
the mass we'll together. Scald pud-
ding bag and put in the pudding,
which should be pretty stiff, and

lies in plung,ng in boiling water i'm

never letting them boiling.
Be sure and turn them over, and
always leave room in the bag for

BEEFSTEAK.

Have the steak cut very thick,
with two ounces of fat to each pound
of lean, and set it on a dish that may
be set on q table. If liked we'll done,
set it before a clear, hot fire for an
hour and a half before dinner. Turn
the steak once and turn the dish
once, 50 that each side of the steak
may be turned before the fire. Before
sending it the table put a piece Of
butter the size Of q hickory nut in
the middle of it; sprinkle it with a
little pepper and a few drops of any
desired sauce. Pour over it a pint Of
button mushrooms that have been
cooked in their own sauce and serve
hot.

ANGELS FOOD.

Six eggs, n cupful of butter, two
cupfuls sugar, four cupfuls -four,
one teaspooniul soda mixed in a lit
tie milk, II teaspoonful cream tar
tar rubbed in the flour. Bake in very
shallow pans as for jelly cake. Two
cocoanuts grated, and a small cake
of chocolate grated, whites of four
eggs beaten some, but not to a stiff
froth, two pounds of sugar, one tum-
bier water. Boil sugar and water
until it is thick, then beat in the
eggs until it is white, then divide
into three parts; into one part mix
cocoanut favored with lemon, in the
next part chocolate favored with
vanilla. Place this in alternate lay
ers between the cake. When it is
filed up high ice over the top with
the third part, and sprinkle over it
some of the cocoanut which you
have left over for that purpose
STALE BREAD.
We must tell, for the lessons Of
economy it teaches, how we used up
three leaves of bread which were
unfit for the table by their not being
allowed to rise quite enough before
putting them into the oven We
put them away for a day to allow
them to become somewhat stale,
then we commenced operations.
First, we made a bread pudding
with plenty Of raisins it and CHINA
mon for fiavoring; then we had milk
toast for tea, with baked sweet pota-
toes and beefsteak. The day after for
an entree at dinner, we had slices Of
bread dipped into egg and fried a
delicate brown in butter. Then the
pieces that were left we're dried and
used for the dressing for a large
chicken, and there being still a little
more to dispose of, a cup of finely
rolled crumbs were mixed with coca
nut and made into a pudding. So
nothing was wasted.

THAT WIFE OF MINE.

She met me atthe door last night,
All dainty, fresh and smiling,
And threw her plump arms around me
tight,
In manner most beguiling.
Then, in her sweet, impulsive way,
She Rugged me and she kissed me,
And told me how the livelong day
She'd thought of me and missed me.
She helped me off with coat and hat,
And led me, still close clinging,
Into the dining room and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal was perfect; fresh-cut flowers,
The freight warm and rosy,
Made all seem bright; swift flew the
hours
And we were, oh, so cosey.
Then after dinner, she and |
Sang the old songs together
We used to sing in days gone by
My heart was like a feather.
Our happiness made earth a heaven,
And now, as | review it,
| recollect it was past eleven.
Almost before we knew it.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me;
Softly she smoothed my hair, and when
| kissed her did not chide me.
She fondly pinched my cheek. and so,
Her dimpled hand upon it,
She whispered: Darling, do you know
/ need a new spring bonnet?"

Large or fuil-grown asparagus is
the best. Before you begin to pre-
pare it for cooking set on the fire
a pot with plenty Of water, and
pour into it Il spoonful of salt. The
asparagus should be all Of the same
size. Scrape the stalks till they are
perfectly clean and white; cut them
Of an equal length and short, SO as
to leave them but two or three inches
below the green part. To serve up
asparagus with long stalks is now
becoming obsolete. AS you scrape
them throw them into a pan of cold
water, then tie in small bundles with
bars of tape. When the water is
boiling fast put in the asparagus and
boil it an hour; if old, longer. When
nearly done toast a large slice Of
bread, first cutting off the crust
dip in the asparagus water; lay in
a dish, drain the asparagus, place it
on the toast and serve melted butter
with it.
