RAT-PlE FOR EPICURES.
The Flesh of the Barn Rodent Makes
Delicious Pastry.

Delicious Pastry.
Not only is the rat fastidious in its
choice of food, but it affords a dainty
food itself, in connection with which
fact have had some amusing expert
ences. Some years ago mentioned
incidentally in the course of lecture
that the Chinese who eat the rat habit
ually and the Parisians, who did so
under compulsion, suffered no real
hardship, as the flesh is not only nu-
tritious, but really excellent and del
icate food, far surprising that of
the rabbit. Being pressed by the au-
dience for further explanation, told
that l spoke from practical expert
ence, and that cold rat-pie (of course
made from barn rats) was delicacy
worthy of any epicure's table.
Reports of the lecture-mostly exag-
gerated espublished in the lead
ing newspapers, and copied into nearly
every journal in the land. An ava
lanche of correspondence poured on
me, and | was greatly amused with the
different views of the writer's. A few
had summoned up courage to try the
experiment, and were unanimous in
their appreciation. Many asked for
details In the manufacture of the pie
which would have taken up whole
cookery book if answered. Many more
asked if could kindly send them
ready~made pie, so that they might

A Selfish Boy.

Jamie took the largest banana on
the dish the other day when the fruit
was passed to him. He did this be-
fore his grandmamma had been
h lped. He looked ashamed when he
saw her take the small one, but he
was glad that his was so big.
But when he took off the skin the
fruit was black and unfit to eat. His
papa's eyes twinkled, and he said:
The largest isn't always the best,
is it, Jamie?"
And his mamma said: Selfish boys
often lose what they want to get ~

Like surface moles they dig great holes,
And wallow in their dusty bowls.

RUTHIE'S VICTORY.

| II
in Gentle Words and a Kindly Smile.
Harry was standing in the road, on
the way home from school. There had
been heavy shower an hour before,
and there was a large puddle in the
road. He had switch, and was switch
ing the water from side to side.
Nettie came along, and looked very
GROSSLY at Harry.
You stop that" she said.
Harry did not like the way she spoke,
nor the look on her face.
Say please, and WILL" he said.
"I'm not going to say 'pleaser
"Then | shall do it as long as | like. :"
II can't get by till you STOP"
"Yes, you can. I'm not hindering
you"
"You are. shall get all splashed. "
"Then stay where you are. You
can't make me stop"
Now. the truth was that Harry did
not care bit about switching the water
any longer. If Nettie had spoken pleas
antly he would have stopped at once.
But now he felt as if he would stay
there all day just to spite her.
II shall tell your mother, you mean
boy, if you don't STOP" went on Net
tie.
Harry laughed louder as Nettie tried
to run by. He gave harder switch
and laughed more loudly than ever as
he saw Nettie's white apron spotted
with mud. She scowled back at him
as she went on.
Nettie had just turned a corner
when Ruthie came up. Harry looked
at her little sourly, for he did not
feel half so pleasantly as he had before
Nettie came.
Do you wonder why? Was it because
Nettie had been cross? Partly so; for
no one can speak or look GROSSLY with
out leaving a shadow behind. But
Harry felt that he had been wrong, too,
and that is worse than to suffer wrong
from others.
stop a minute, and let me get by,
Harry" said Ruthie.
Il don't have to stop" growled
Harry.
But can't get home till you let me
pass"
II don't care. You can't make me
stop"
"Oh, yes, can," said Ruthie, with
laugh.
Il should like to see you try" said
Harry, holding his switch tighter than
before while he looked at Ruthie-
You're as big as am; but who cares
for that?"
Il can, though" said Ruthie.
How do you think she did it?
She came nearer, still smiling, and
said:
Harry, please let me pass. You
wouldn't be ugly to me, l know"
Harry had never thought of an at
tack of kind words. If Ruthie had
tried to take away his stick. or to push
him out of her way. he would have
made a good fight; but what could he
do now?
He gave a little laugh as he stood
back to let her pass, saying:
well, if that's the way you're go
ing to make me, l guess I'll have to
give up"
Try it, little children. You have all
seen how one angry word or look will
bring another, and how little good
they do, and how much harm Try
how much power there is in a gentle
word and a smile. le.-Sydney Dayre, in

Carl vas jolly little fellow,
With eyes of blue and curls of yellow,
And rosy cheeks, and just the chin
To hold pretty dimple in.

And wondered what twas best to play
While his mamma remained away.
Pencil and paper soon he saw,
And seized them BOTH Said he: ''Tll draw
An ogre like the one so grum
Poor Jack heard growing 'Fee-fo-fum.'
First, here's his forehead full of bumps,
And then his nose with three big humps,
And then two ears of 'normous size,
And then two dreadful staring eyes,
And then mouth from ear to ear,
With long, sharp, teeth-lize tusxs." But here
The artist, with eyes opened wide
In fright, gazed on his work and cried:

I'm very lonely without you;
And oh Mamma, I'm so afraid
OF this old ogre that I've made. ."
