How to Die.

was in Oudh at the time when very rich
Hindu-brother to the famous prime minister
of Nepaul, Sir Jung Bahadur-arrived in a
dying state at the sacred city of Ajudhia.
Though stricken with mortal sickness. he had
made the long and painful journey from Ne
paul in order to die in the holy city that gave
Rama birth, and which is to the Hindu what
Mecca is to the Moslems, and far more than
Jerusalem is to Christians.
On hearing of his arrival the English mag
istrate at Fyzabad went to see him, the day
before his death, as it proved to be. He
found the rajah lying on low wooden bed
stead, such as is used by the poorest natives,
in a bare, mud plastered little room, having
neither windows nor single article of furni.
ture except the bedstead in it, and with his
silver dishes and drinking vessels spread
about on the mud floor. To English eyes it
seemed truly strange and comfortless death
bed, but such view of it would not have
struck any of the Hindus present; the dying
man, they would have said, had all he needed,
and God was gracious to have lot him live till
his journey was accomplished.

The use of whale oil originated with the
Norwegians, and as early as 1850 the Dutch
had 200 vessels in the business of catching
whales As late as 1858 the Americans had

Plate Of Stale Bread.

When you make a bread pudding of
your stale crusts, my dear young house
wife, you fancy you done an economical
thing, although half the pudding IL
thrown away, because John doesn't
like plain pudding. 1t would be better
economy to throw the bread away inste ad
Of wasting your time In making some
thing no one wishes to eat
Now, although no one need throw away
q plateful OF stale bread, 1t Is sometimes
the most economical thing to do with 1t,
| especially In hot weather, wioT It Is ap,
to mold. At other times cut of any
brown crusts, break In small pieces, and
dry, not toast, 1t In the oven when the
fire Is low. Then pound or roll 1t rather
hne, and put it In paper bag, which
should be hung In cool dry corner of
your pantry. You will find 1t very con-
venient to use In preparing escalloped
oysters, meat, eggs or tomatoes for bread
sauce, and many other things.
The bread may be used In various ways.
II the slices are not broken or too thick,
they make delicious Drowned sandwiches.
Spread each slice Of bread with chopped
meat, cover with q slice Of bread, and
press together. Proceed In this manner
till all the meat and bread are used, and
cut each sandwich In halves. Place them
on a plate and pour the milk and egg
over them until it Is absorbed. Put a
heaping teaspoOnful Of butter on a large
frying-pau, and when 1t begins to brown
place the sandwiches carefully upon It.
When nicely Drowned add little more
butter and turn them. letting them brown
quickly on the other side. Serve as soon
as possible. This makes delicious break
fast dish, and may be used to advantage
to "help out" q scanty dinner.
The stale slices Of bread arc often used
without the meat, just soaking them In
the egg and milk and browning nicely.
Indeed, plate Of stale bread is a perfect
mine of culinary surprises.-Ledger.

FARM, GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
Lonely Age

Those lodging people who satisfy care
full landlords, ana are without children IN
the family, have but little Idea OF what
the loneliness OF their future Is going to
DE. when the activities of youth and mid
die life are over, aud there is no one to
connect them vitaily with the new gener-
alton or keep them IN the current OF life.
For let them form all the friendships in
The world with Young people not of their
own, these friendships, with the differ
ence of generations of years between
them, mast necessarily be in manner
fictitious, except In those very extraor-
binary cases where the elder person has
been able To preserve most of the feelings
and interests of youth, has not stitiened
aud anchylosed in the mental fibre. as one
might say, nor grown gray In these lively
cnthusiasms which the young love TO
share. Except in these extraordinary
cases, the young make friendships with
older people, and frequent their houses
and apartments. from many mixed mo-
tiyes, none of which would be quite salts
factory to the older people II they could
read and comprehend them.
If youth Is wanted about one 1t must
belong to one, must be of ones own chill
dren or grandchildren, nephews or
nieces,. whose place is there, who know
no other place as home, and who are
about one not as q matter of choice or
feeling, but of nature and birth, placed
there by circumstance, and without
thought or wish of other things, the
house and home being the natural orbit
of their everyday movement, and the old
er people being as much part of their
lives as the air. the sky the earth, and the
four walls OF the dwelling.
A house In which this element Of youth
is wanting Is a very sad place; it is like a
monument of the past; the moss grows
on it; 1t is already doorwry of the
tomb; decay has begun in that house, and
there Is no young blood there to re-gener
ate the remaining life In it, to keep that
life fresh and whole and safe and sound.
1t is well, then, for the chldless to be-
think themselves in season of the loncli-
ness of fate for them, and to resolve on
some plan of action that shall leave them
the mercy of strangers would make them,
better provided for In this light than
80 that when husband or wife dies, when
brothers and sisters have gone, when
friends and contemporaries have dropped
away, there shall be those who shall in
some, however feeble manner, not possi-
bly, replace these others, but give still a
living centre for affection and interest and
hope and fear and joy-all those live pas
sions without which we do not ourselves
exist, we only vegetate.
