l don't care; grandma says primes are

guess she knows all about prunes"
Miss Jane Stevens, two of whose prize
pictures from the exhibition of the Royal
institute of painters, Picadilly, London,
are on exhibition at the rooms OF the La
dies art association, presents curious in
stance of success won when past middle
life by an amateur. Miss Stevens spent
her best years as clerk in one of the de-
partments at Washington, and now with
out a drawing lesson, without acquaint-
ance or encouragement from artists, her
bold, unconventional work has won her
international honors in competition with
artists of established reputation. She is
at her best in tapestry painting. Truly,
withor the freshness OF youth, one may
accomplish many things.-M y. Recorder.
1t is an interesting fact THAT any manu-
facturer can verify that the laboring men
who "get on usually have wives taken
from domestic service, writes Octave
Thanet. Such wives not only make home
more comfortable, they also can make a
dollar 90 many times further than tho
factory girl or the saleswoman. Would it
not be worth while to spend some of the
money and time given to the poor in an
attempt to supply this ''long felt want" in
our kitchens? There are in some cities
homes where girls, especially strangers.
can find shelter, food, and instruction in
all branches of domestic service. A null
tiplication of these homes, it seems TO me,
have fewer of the dangers of charity and
more OF the benefits than most efforts to
help the poor.

AN ALLIGATOR STORY.
How a PIucky Sailor Rescued n Boy frol
Death.

Death.
Jamaica papers of recent date give the
following alligator story:
Friday afternoon the 10th instant, while
the schooner Sisters was lying in Cow Bay,
Jamaica, Capt. Greenwood and portion
OF the crew went on shore for the purpose
of having bath in lake well known as
Pond Mouth. In the party were two lit
tie boys named George Thomas and John
Greenwood, the latter a son OF the cap
tain.
They had been in the water about ten
minutes when the captain, who was some
distance away from the boys, heard a
scream and on looking saw the boy
Thomas in the mouth of huge alligator,
which was running away with him and all
OF them powerless to prevent 1t. OF
course they were very much frightened as
well as wild with rage at the audacity OF
the brute. Capt. Greenwood was de-
termined to rescue the boy even at
the cost of his own life, and he i'm
mediately rushed into the water after
the alligator, but as soon as he had got
ten yards nearer the brute went under the
water carrying the boy with him. A few
minutes later the boys head appeared
above the water and Capt. Greenwood,
with the aid of one of his men, succeeded
in rescuing him. The boy was bleeding
from wound in the left arm and he was
quite exhausted. He was taken on board
the vessel, where restoratives were adj
minstered and the wound dressed with
carbolic acid and laudsnum until the YES
sells arrival in Kingston, when he was
sent to the hospital.
Immediately after the boy had suffi-
GENTLY recovered from his fright Capt
Greenwood went on shore with his dog,
which he tied against a tree. AS soon as
the dog commenced to howl the alligator
appeared and Capt. Greenwood, taking
steady aim, lodged bullet in the head of
the monster, killing him instantly. 1t
was at this same place that favorite dog
belonging to Capt. Greenwood was carried
away by an alligator not long ago. The
boy is undergoing treatment in the hos
pital and is in a fai- way toward recovery.

cooking oysters and fish, for roasts, game,
bread, entrees, omelets, salads, desserts
almost everything that is likely to be done
in the kitchen. The presidents wife
heads the list for an autograph recipe for

Four pounds of juicy beef one knuckle of
veal, two small tUrnips, two small carrots, one
soup bunch, one pod Of red pepper. two small
onions, SIX quarts of water. Boil the soup six
hours. Strain IL through sieve, let it stand
over night and CONCEAL; then skim oil the

add sherry or Madeira wine TO the taste.
Mrs. Thomas B. Reed gives an excellent
recipe for baked chicken. Here is a deli

Sheridan:
Line a mould with slices of sponge-cake, then
put in layer of fruit strawberries. rasp berries
blnckberries, curTants or ripe pineapples torn
into bits; rich, tart ripe fruit is the best. Put
just over this a layer of hot custard, then a
layer of cake, and another Of fruit and of Gus
tard till the mould is full. Put IL away 10 get
cold and firm. and serve when turned out of
the mould with sugar and cream. For the Gus
tard bring to the boiling point in a farina ket-
tie pint of milk, add an ounce and half of
dissolved gslatiGe. the yOlks OF four eggs and
four ounces of sugar. When the custard has
thekeEed (be sure is does not curdle) take il
of the FIRE and stir in half pint of cream
and the juice OF lemon.

In good sized pieces; put in a chatting dish and
add a small cupful of rich cream. half a pound
of butter. and couple of wine glasses Of sherry

cause Of its richer flavor. No one has ever
tasted terrapin prepared after this recipe that

dinner and to spend the evening.

Two Diverse Opinions on tine Question OF

make themselves particularly agreeable
o people of influence and ignore
hose that are OF small consequence.
The more innocent young girls smile most
brightly on the youngman who sends flow

regular game to get gifts Of more sub
Stantial sort. Men are so foolish, too.

The other lady laughed heartily at what
she called her friends pessimistic mis-
conception. Nonsense" she cried. "Tm
astonished at you. Where have YOU been
living Of late? Among the wild bohemi-
ans who have TO exist on their wits, I'll
warrant Now, my dear friend, L insist
that you are all wrong in your conclu-
sions, and | claim that, except for little
community of women found tn every
large capital, the general modesty and
pride of the feminine sex are as pro-
nounced as they were when
we were a good deal younger than we
are now. You know well enough that you
would not allow one Of your daughters to
accept gift from a man, and you know
that they would never dream of maneu-
vering for one. Now, are you so conceited
as to think you are different from other
mothers, or your daughters superior TO all
other girls? Why, the world is crowded
with lust such people. and in them is the
great spirit that keeps the race alive. The
only way that your conclusion is to be ar
rived at is by confirming your studies 10 a
narrow coterie of ill-bred, high-strung and
badly regulated women that makes itself
conspicuous IN the unwholesome neigh
borhOod of a city like New York. These
women make a noise, and are vulgar. and
IL is their habit to get all they can out Of
people they meet. But you ought to know
that they are a woiully small part OF the
world, and cannot affect that fine feminine
character that objects TO common contact,
and whose chief feature is the quality of
pride. FieI Believe in your sex, my
dear. Woman is not mercenary or calcu-
lating"
The last speaker was so vehement and
convincing that the other smiled over her
teacup and said: "Well, dear, perhaps
was mistaken. I'm sure hope So" And
every one else must hope so, too.

AT an afternoon tea last week the tea
service showed the latest combination Of
colors. The teapot and milk jug were
both black, with handles that showed law
ender and turquoise blue, combined in a
very curious way. If the cup was black
the saucer was colored, and il the saucer
was of the ebon hue then the cup showed
the shot effect of the two shades. One of
the prettiest tea services in London is that
used by Lady de Grey. The teapot, jug,
and bowl are Of quaint old silver, while
the cups and saucers are of clear white
china, thin as an egg shell, and having in
gold upon them, just as her ladyship
would write 1t. the name GLADYS"

days after the ring disappeared it was
found under the lady's window, with the
solitaire stone, however, missing, having
been pried out OF the setting.
1t was supposed that the thief had re-
moved the diamond to keep it from being
identified. The mystery was solved,
however, recently, in a most unexpected
manner, for in cleaning chicken for din
ner the cook discovered a small round OBJ
iect in its craw, which, on being cleaned,
was found to be the missing diamond.
The suppositiou now is that the ring
fell from the lady's hand while she was in
bed, and, the clothes being shaken next
morning, it fell from them into the yard,
where it was found by the hen, which,
swallowed it.

her.

"Bust his Bier Well, you can't keep
company with any young man with such
dreadful name as that"

expected answer

again.
A gentleman attended a party where
the hostess was very deaf. After paying
his respects to her, and talking to her for a

through the conservatory.
"What a relief" he exclaimed, ''I have
