A "Reminiscences of Barnum.

One of p. Il. Barnum's most success
full traits OF bamboozlcment, said n New
Yorker the other day, "was played upon
the Canadian customs authorities. The
veteran showmans tours were always
planned for in advance, and one winter
he made up his mind to take his great
circus and menagcric through Canada
during the summer after the next. This
gave him about two years ill which to ma
ture his plans. One important item of n
showman's expenses consists Of his advcr-
Using placards, and Mr.. Barnum was
always lavish with these gaudy prints.
He was aware that the Canadian Govern
ment imposed high duty on this class
of imports, and yet he wanted to paint
Canada red, yellow, blue and green,
with 4 lavishness that no Snowman had
ever displayed there before.
g Now there was no printinc.housc
anywhere in Canada that could begin to
turn out the kind of work that Mr.. Bar
mum required, either in size, color or
finish. Nevertheless, his immense post
ers came under the same classification rs
much smaller Autographs and printed
eolored matter did, and he knew that
the Dominion customs authorities would
not abnte one jot of the full toll, but
would rather rejoice at the opportunity
to mulct the foreigner who would convey
so much money out of country where
money is badly needed. r.
g So Barndm studied the question
awhile and finally sent on ut once great
lot of circus posters of the most gorge
Gus designs, whcrcon yellow lions clnwed
striped tigers and brown bears fought
with blue hippopotami till the gore flowed
into blue crimson backgrounds. No
agent appeared, when the posters were
detained by the Canadian customs officers
to pay the duty. They were accordingly
held for twelve months, then duly advcr-
tised for sale for three months more, ind
finally put up at auction with II lot OF
other unclaimed parcels, and were desig-
mated in the catalogue merely rs "col-
ored prints" Nobody took any interest
In them when the auctionnecr called for
bid, and finally the whole batch was
knocked down for song to secret
agent of the circus, who had been sent
up by Mr.. Barnum for that express pur-
pose. "-Nelo York Tribune.

HngnclOus Monster.

Arthur Clay sends to the London
Spectator the following instance of the
sngacity of the elephant. 1t was told
me- he snys, by Mr.. Quny-at the timo
4 non-commissioned officer in tho First
battalion of the Sixteenth Rifles, but
now one of her Majesty's yoemon of tho
guard. In 1853 his regiment was
marching from Peshnwur 10 Kopulvic.
and was accompanied by train of clio
plants. 1t was the duty of the mnhout
in charge of each elephant to prepare
twenty chupattics or flat cakes mndo
of coarse -four, for his charge When
the twenty clupntties were rcndy they
were placed before the elephant, who,
during tho process of counting, never
attempted to touch one of them until
tho full number was completed. On
the occasion related by Mr.. Quay ono
OF the elephants Ind seized tho oppor-
tunitv of his mahout's attention being
distracted for moment to steal and
swallow one OF the chupntties When
the mahout, having finished tho pre-
pnration, began to count them out lie
of course discovered the theft and pre-
| scnted his charge with nineteen in
place of the usual number. The ole.
plant instantly appreciated tho fnct
OF there being one less tll.n lo had n
right to expect, and refused to touch
them, expressing his Indignation by
loud trnnpeiings. This brought the
conductor Of the elephant line
with whom Mr.. Quay had been in
conversation OH tho scene Having
heard the explanation of tho mahont,
the conductor decided that the mahont
was in fault for rot keeping better
lookout, and ordered him 10 provide
the twentieth cake Mt his own cost.
When this was prepared and added to
the pile the elephant at once accepted
| and ate them.

There is 4 greater difference in omelct
that is well made and that which is not
than most cooks suppose. Omclct should
not be solid, but creamy all through,
Omclet may be light and yet unpalatabe.
When the eggs are beaten too light it will
be dry and without flavor. y great many
COOK books give recipes with directions
to beat the whites and yclks separately;
but while the omclct will look well it will
not be as good us if beaten together. II
is very necessary in cooking omelct to
have pan OF good size; then Tic quicker
an omclct is made and served the better
it will be. There is superstition
among cooks to the effect that twelve
beats is the proper number TO give an
omclet aud have it light.
TO make good omclet, take four eggs,
Que teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoon
fuls of milk and one tablespoonful of
butter. Beat the eggs, without separat-
ing, until light, but not foamy; add the
salt and milk. Have I'M omclct very hot,
put in a spoonful Of butter, pour in the
eggs; shake vigorously until the eggs be-
Gun to thickcn, then let brown few
seconds and roll up. To take the omclct
from the pan, care is necessary to do it
properly; the pan should be held in the
right hand and the dish on which the ONE
let is to be served in the left it may be laid
over the pan and the omelct slipped into
it, Omolet may lie seasoned with vege-
tables, fish or meat to give variety, but
the above directions will be best for the
foundation, and the mode of cooking
should always be followed, if the omelct
is to be of the proper flavor aud in every
way satisfactory.-La:lies' Home Com

Care of Pianos.

Pianos that are used in private houses
should be tuned at least twice Il year.
once in summer and once in winter. No
piano can be kept at concert pitch IN
less it is tuned oftcner than oncca year.
When the pitch is raised only n half
tone, couple of tons at least is added
to the pressure on the frame. A piano
should not be left open after it is used,
unless one is willing to send often for
the tuner. The Accommodations of dust
that are found on the sounding board
collect easily from the furnace or coal
stove in winter, and from the street In
summer. An open piano, however, is a
beautiful sight in the sitting room of the
family, while closed instrument has no
beauty whatever except that of shining
casket OF polished wood. But if one
INDUCES in the luxury of an open piano,
let him frequently send for n tuner to
keep it order.--Meo Yark Ledger.

THE HILLS OF SONG

Lo! have Jared and Jared again
Far up and down the ways OF men,,
And found no path strayed along
As happy as the hills Of song.
AS in the days when time began
Are played the merry pipes of Pan,
And never rises note of wrong
Upon the happy hills of song.
There is no frost of doubt to blight:
The sun of faith sheds lustrous light;
To peace and joy the hours belong
Upon tho happy hills of song.
Then no. who will, and follow me!
Through 1owery meads the path shall be-:
Fear not the way is steep or long
Unto the happy hills of song.
Lo! have farel and Jared again
Far up and down the ways of men,
And found no path strayed along
As happy rs the hills of song.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
HINTS FOR HOME DREssNAKrNo.

The home dressmaker should modern.
izc Dasques of wool dresses by iengthcn-
ing them in a coat shape. To do this
cut off the lower edge of the basque in q
deep roint in front, u much shorter point
in the back, and have still shorter sides;
turn up the edges and face with silk.
Under this add coat skirts of the length
desired made of darker wool or silk or
velvet. These skirts are shaped to the
hips, lined with silk, and sewed to tho
lining of the bodice just below the curve
of the waist. Ten or twelve inches is a
good length for them. If the basque is
for very slight figure, simple plating
of the dress material may be added in-
stead of the closer coat skirt, rs tho
plat gives the effect OF larger hips. a
plated lace flouncc can be added to silk
basqucs. -Boston Transcript.
