Great guns, and shades of General Scott
and the battle of Chimlusko, has anybody
seen Capt Jake Balderston since his re-
turn from the annual encampment. Ii
takes two sidewalks and half Of the street
to hold him. Talk about the glory of a
battle desperately won, the pride of a gen
eral before a capitulated fortress and all
the other military triumphs of camp and
field. and they weigh as nothing TO the
glory which crowns Capt. Jake's whiten-
ing locks. True, its only baby, and only
a girl baby, at that, but yet the first born,
with all the possibilities and chances of
becoming voter in these enlightened and
progressive times. In welcoming the little
stranger TO our midst and congratulating
the mother. it would be well to clear the
track for Capt. Jake, and give him plenty
of room, until he becomes more used to the
new environment and his increasing re-
sponsibilities.

Safcty in Coal OIL.

The number of accidents from coal.oil
lamps is rs large as ever, and il is safe TO
say that in nearly every case human
being, who ought TO know better, con-
tributes the share of ignorance or care
lessness which makes the accident posi-
bile. The blaze of burning coal-ol cuts
into the human flesh like knife. Ma
ture at once tries to repair tho damage
by throwing off the injured flesh, but
medical science knows of no way TO pre-
vent the contraction which ensues on the
coming together OF the healthy tissue
after the s.oughing oil of the injured
portions.
Few people seem TO know on what n
little thing the safety OF n coal oil lamp
depends. The lighted wick causes tho
metal of the oil reservoir 20 become quite
hot, hot enough TO heat the oil and
generate gas. Ii The gas cannot escape,
tho lamp will explode. To provide for
its escape the lamp makers put little
metal chimney 10y the side of the wick
holder which permits free passage for
the gas from the oil reservoir to the outer
air. The housekceper's part consists in
keeping the little chimney open. lt is
almost an invisible chimney, only TO be
seen by holding the burner TO tho light.
Never buy coil.oil lamp without seeing
that this chimney is present in the burner.

a Novcl DictIonnry.

How many OF you have dictionary
that has attended over 100 weddings, 10
say nothing of parties, teas, etc. Z Not
very many, I'll venture 10 say, but let
me tell you about this noted dictionary.
Thirty years ago, when mother was
first married, she began to collect recipes
for cook book For lack OF ANYTHING
smaller she took an Old unabridged die
tionary of the largest size cut out every
other leaf, indexed 1t, aud began to
paste in the cooking recipes she cut
from the papers. For instance, there
was chapter devoted TO puddings; un-
der this heading was n list OF different
kinds of puddings aud the pages where
they were TO be found. Cakes formed
another chapter, meats another and so
on through tho list.
Every week, as soon as the papers had
been read, mother would collect them,
take the dictionary, scissors ard paste
pot, and carefully paste each recipe in
its proper place.
As time went by the book steadily
filed, so when anyone wanted a recipe
for any particular dish the dictionary
was sure TO contain it. For example un.
der the heading of tapioca pudding there
were forty-seven recipes TO be found
and ninety seven for making tomato
catsup.
But among so many, how could we
lind what we wanted you ask. In this
way When we had carefully tested q
recipe and found Il satisfactory we
marked it by star, thus I. If extra
good it was marked by two stars, and if
unsurpassed three stars distinguished Il.
But If, on the contrary, it was not sat.
isfactory it was crossed off by single
line; two lines meant very bad, and three
lines signilied positively uncatablc. ("
so by simply glancing over the page VIC
can tell at once just what VIC want.
There is one objection to a cook book
OF this sort; It is so useful that everybody
wants TO borrow il, and so IL is seldom at
home. Just make one and see IL you
don't call it a "grand good thing. ~
