She was glad to go and be at rest. for
she died of a broken heart. You know,
madam, that the man she married had
a wife and basely deceived Clara. He
deserted her two weeks after the mar
rage, when his first wife discovered the
second marriage. And Clara, too proud
to return home, sought and obtained
work in a paperbox factory in New
York; it was here that met her, and
we roomed together on First Avenue.
She told me her history just before she
died-it Is similar one to my own.
madam-and / promised her that |
would tell you that she died happy.
We only earned So a week, and work
fell off so that one dav we were dis
charged and were almost starved and
famished; Clara had two rings which
you had given her, and she was sorelv
tempted to sell or pawn them for the
actual necessaries of life, but she brave
ly determined not to do so. With the
hard work and subsequent privation
we both took sick and became so de-
spondent that we determined to die
and bought with our last money some
charcoal with the intention of closing
up our room and dying of suffocation
from the fumes, but Clara said at the
last moment that she would not add the
disgrace of suicide to her other folly of
running away with the actor. Next
day she failed rapidly and gave me the
rings, telling me to sell one to pay my
way to st. Louis with, and to give you
the other. You will find it sewed in
my dress. Clara was more sinned
against, than SHINING, madam. She
married the actor in good faith, and
believed herself his true wife until the
other turned up.'
"'What was his name?' sternly and
coldly asked Mrs. Brooke, who had stood
like statue during the recital
Clara loved him to the last, despite
his treachery, and refused to tell me
who he was"
"The young girl was restored to
health and placed in position to earn
her living, and the Brooke family de-
cided to leave for Boston at the earliest
possible date. The Thanksgiving din
ner was eaten in silence, but not sad
ness, for it was great relief to them to
know what had become of Clara. The
onsand daughters are now married,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Brooke have joined
the majority"
''Was the actor discovered ?"
"No. The secret died with Clara"

HypOchondriacs.

A physician relates in the ST. Louis
GlobeDemocrat that many able MEM
bers of the medical profession become
"cranks" concerning their own health.
''They exaggerate the slightest symp-
toms into dangerous cases. Most ply
siclans are not competent to treat them
selves, and many of them are confirmed
hypochondriacs. Medical students be-
gin early to imagine themselvesaffficted
with the various diseases which they
are studying. / remember when at
college / had a room mate who be-
came thoroughly hypoed after en-
tering the course. One day he caught a
cold, and that night informed me he
believed he was going to die. as he was
certain he was afflicted with a new ma
ignant fever which he had been study
ing that day. I went Immediately for
one OF the pro fessors, and he not being
in had another one come. The sec
ond understood the case at once, and
gave my friend some simple remedy,
and later, the first came, and he, wish
ing to give the young man a lesson, had
me administer liberal dose of ipecac.
This made him very sick, but cured him
of the malignant fever"

Newspapers in China.

China has been much slower than ia.
pan in adopting Western ways, and will
undoubtedly continue to be slow. But
most important agency of develop
ment has st last been set at work,
which, in the end. must produce
marked results namely, the newspa-
per.
The Chinese were first in the inven-
ton of printing, but they had never
made the popular use of it which West
ern nations have. The Picking Gazette
is often called the oldest newspaper in
the world, but it is not a newspaper in
the sense that the word is used in Amer
lea or Europe, but rather an official rec
ord or government circular.
Journalism proper has been carried
into China by foreigners, and newspa
pers are now multiplying there. Two
daily newspapers are printed in Chi
nese at Shanghai. One is called the
they print daily between $4,000 and 49,
600 copies, and both, though owned by
foreigners, are very popular among the
natives.
These Shanghai papers are sold for
less than cent each. Their real circu-
lation is very much larger than the
number printed; they pass from hand
to hand until they are worn out, and,
when the people of Shanghai have read
them, they start on through the country
under an ingenious system of ex-
changes, somewhat like the reading
clubs of this country.
Notwithstanding their ownership by
foreigners, these papers are thoroughly
Chinese in their political sympathies.
If they were not so, they certainly could
not attain popular circulation.
Beside these dailies, there are In Chi
icals, including some journals which are
illustrated after the Chinese style of art,
but in some cases by means of photo
TYPOGRAPHY and stereotyping.
Thousands of scientific works, en-
bodying the learning of the West, have
been translated into Chinese, ana are
largely circulated. Foreign professors
are engaged in instructing Chinese stu
dents in physics, chemistry, medicine,
physiology, astronomy, and other
branches.
Under the influence of this Western
learning, which is slowly spreading
through China, the people are learning
that the science of the mandarins,
which they have regarded with super
stitious veneration, is for the most part
false-a pretentious fraud.
They have begun to perceive that,
without studying the sacred Chinese
classics. which these people have been
taught to consider the sum of all WIS
dom, the foreigners have been made
much more important discoveries than
all the Chinese learned men.
It is believed that the dawn of West
ern learning upon the Chinese, the
hold of an old and WORKOUT civilization
upon the people will before many years
be lost, and moral and social revolu-
ton be the result.

HOUSEWIFELY MATTERS.
SILVER CAKE.

one and one half cups of sugar, one
halt cup each Of butter and cornstarch
Il cups of flour, one-half cup of sweet
milk, the whites of six eggs and two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, flavor
with one teaspoonful of lemon and one
half teaspoonful of vanilla.
FIG LAYER CAKE.
White part: Two cups of sugar, two
cups of flour, two-thirds cup Of sweet
milk, whites Of five eggs, two teaspoon
fuls baking powder; bake in two round
tins as for jelly-cake. Dark or fig part:
One cup OF brown sugar. one cup Of
Hour, one cup of chopped figs, one half
cup of sweet milk, butter the size of
walnut, one egg, one teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder; when baked place fig part
between light part with little frosting.
ALMOND CREAM.
one cup OF rice, one pint and half
OF milk, one-half cup of sweet almonds,
one-quarter OF cup of sugar and one
half teaspoonful of salt. Blanch the al
monds, chop them fine, put them with
the rice, sugar and salt into the milk,
and steam until the rice is tender.
Serve 1t hot with cream and grape Jelly.
A pretty way to serve it is to half fill
fancy cups with the almond cream, then
add two tablespoonful of sweet cream
and one of jelly.
CHOCOLATE.
Scrape or CRATE one ounce ofchocolate.
add to it an equal weight Of sugar,
throw these into a pint of perfectly
boiling water and milk, of each one-half,
and Immediately mix or stir them for
two or three minutes until the chocolate
and sugar are quite dissolved; it is then
ready for the table. Some think that
two or three minutes boiling improves
1t. Chocolate should never be made but
when it is intended to be used immedi-
ately, for by suffering it to become cold
and boiling it again the flavor is in
jured.
RICE PUDDING.
One teacup of rice, one pint each of
milk and water, or one quart of milk,
one cup of molasses, one teaspoonful of
salt, one-third of nutmeg and a piece
of butter the size of an egg. In mixing
reserve one cup of milk, not to be add
ed until the pudding has been in the
oven from one-half to quarters of
an hour. First, mix all the ingredients
together in buttered earthen pudding
POT, let it stand on the back of the stove
until ready to bake, so as to let the rice
swell, and bake about two hours. Do
not stir after you add the rest of the
milk. If it is baked properly it should
have whey on the top like an Indian
pudding. Use dark molasses. Serve
hot with butter and milk. This is very
nice.
BROILED CHICKEN.
Cut the chicken open on the back, lay
on the meat board and pound until it
will lie fiat, lay it on gridiron, place
over bed of Goals and broil until a nice
brown. It will cook better to cover
with tin pie-tin held down with
weight, SO that all parts of the chicken
may lie close to the gridiron. While
the chicken is broiIing, put the liver,
gizzard and heart into a stewpan and
boil in pint of water till tender, chop
fine, and add flour, butter, salt, pepper,
and stir in cup of sweet cream; when
the chicken is done, dip it in the gravy
while hot, lay it back on the gridiron a
few seconds, put it in the gravy, and let
it boil for half-minute; send it to the
table hot.

Eighteenth Century Pews.

The cozy squirrels pew of the eight
eenth century was an elaborate struc-
ture, luxuriously furnished. and sur
mounted by crimson curtains. 1t often
contained the only fireplace in the
church, and was not complete without
square table. During the reign of
George I. colored footman would enter
with tray of light ereshments, just
before the sermon. In one of these re-
treats, Ernest, Duke of Cumberland,
being ensconced, was rous, rom a
doze by the exhortation. Let us pray"
"By all MEANS" shouted the Duke, ST
have no objection" The poor were ac-
commodated in narrow pews, very high
and stiff in the back. No wonder a
ti1nid child remarked that man in
velvet breaches had sat her on pantry
shelf, and shut the door.

FARM AND HOME.
Thanksgiving is Coming


The chill of November days have come
With Memberships and CRATES;
The careful housewife 'bustles round,
The boys look up their skates;
And on the table in our homes
The buckwheats sun burnt check
Reflects the JOY the youthful hearts
May know but cannot speak.
The ague and the rheumatic"
Are playing side by side,
And in the open fireplace
Crackles the anthracite
The dead dry leaves go rushing by,
The doctor smiles again.
And thinks OF colds and cramps and coughs
Which come in winters train.
The farmer looks his apples DER
And puts the prices higher;
And flies just give their legs shake
And nestle near the fire.
The rabbit shifts the looming man"
And leaves his wonted haunts,
The bicyclist puts up his steed
And dons his longer pants.
Upon the fences far and near
We read with inward chill,
"FOr all Malarial Disease
Use Sniffen's Duplex PILL"
The plumber dreams. ot sudden frost,
And twirls his massive chain;
The equity man proclaims storm,
His feet proclaim rain.
The schoolboy, with the calandar,
Sits counting up the days.
To see what time Thanksgiving comes
And then goes out and plays;
The prudent housewife counts again
The cost of sealskin sacque;
Her husband takes his fall coat down,
And has her pad the back.
With cider juice from ruddy fruit
The press is running DER.
The gentle grocer doctors up
The lot he has in store.
The coal man adds an extra half"
'As the supply is short"
"And far and.near, with wondrous ills,
This wondrous month is traught,
But never mind, we've still enough
And good things now abound.
So let's be thankful every day
Till Thanksgiving comes round.
Good Housekeeping.
