was posted on the door at General Sher-
mans house tonight, at No 73 West

great difficulty it was learned that Drs.

The GeutlewOman.

A gentewoman never fails in the
small, sweet courtesies. Instinctively
she respects the feelings of others, and
having the golden rule by heart, it is
from Ter heart that all lovelv, love-
compelling graces flow. "In her
tongue is the law of Kindness" and she
has the ready tact which takes advan-
tage of every opportunity to render the
lives of others happier,
And every morning, with " Good day."
Makes each day good.
Her winning smile and gentle ministra-
lions, her soft voice and unfaiing
sympathy, insure her always a ready
welcome, and, like the sun, she finds
The world bright, brcause she first
makes it So" The fairy tale of our
young days has a peculiar charm and
attraction. The courteous, cheerful
maiden who draws water for the with
cred old crone, and who listens to her,
and replies with amiability, is rewarded
with the gift of uttering pearls and
diamonds; and, in The less romantic
German version, Frau Hole bestows
gold pieces as the reward Of cviity and
diligence with that delightful prodi.
gality so characteristic of fairy land

very hot one, of fine dry wood, burned
to a mass of Goals and embers. Have
ready The shelled corn, which has been
freed from chaff by pouring from one
pan to another so that the chaf is
blown away by the air. Place the ket-
tie over he fire and put in half a cup of
lard and about half teaspoonful of
salt. When the lard is melted put in
two cupfuls of corn and stir briskly
until it begins to pop; then cover the
k, tile, shaking it by the bail to prevent
burning the corn. When the popping
has somewhat subsidized, remove the
cover and stir with a long-handled
spoon until all is popped. Turn quickly
into pan, as there is danger of scorch-
ing if left in the kettle. This quantity
should make at least heaping milk
pan full after it is popped. To make
popcorn balls, boil two cups of The best
molasses until it hardens in water; add
pinch of soda, stir well and pour over
the popcorn, mixing it evenly with
large spoon. When cool enough to
handle, press into balls. The balls
may be made by using sugar instead of
molasses, boiling it with little water
until it hardens in water. Flavor and
use the same as the mo'asses. -Elld

A Boy Adopted by a Cow.

A letter from Kansas has a surpris-
ing story, my friends. 1t tells me of a
COW who, when she had lost her calf,
showed so much sorrow that it awak-
ened the sympathy of her owners four
teen-year- son, and he showed her
some slight kindness. The grateful
cow at once became fond Of him,
watched for him as she would for her
calf, and since then she has shown her
pleasure whenever he comes near her.
Indeed no one but this boy can manage
the poor animal, and wonderful stories
are told of her devotion to him. The
Kansas papers say that lately the boy
had occasion to go to a neighboring
town, and as he remained away until
after milking-time, his sister, not dar.
ing to approach the cow in any other
way, decided to pers nate her brother.
So she put on a suit of his clothes and
went into the barnyard. The girl sue
ceeded in deceiving the cow until the
boy was seen coming up the road, when
instantly the indignant animal kicked
the pail over aud made bound in the
direction of the youth, showing unmis-
taxable evidence of delight.-St. Mich

Entertaining Unexpected Guests.

Unless upon unusual occasions, the
average country housewife has at hand
the material for dinner good enough
for the most fastidous guest. Even
the old standby, salt pork, if sweet and
nice, as is generally kept by farmers,
need not be despised. Slice it thin,
freshen, and dip in cracker dust or
flour; then fry to delicate brown,
first putting into the frying pan little
butter to prevent the meat from stick
ing to the pan. This will be more of a
treat to your city guest than the finest
steak; and if accompanied by potatoes,
either baked to turn or boiled and
mashed with plenty of cream and but
ter, eggs in some form, cream gravy,
good bread and butter, pickles ard
some vegetables, either cabbage, onions,
squash, or turnip, canned fruit served
with doughnuts, cookies or cake, with
the addition of cup Of good coffee, en-
riched with plenty of cream, you will
have a dinner of which no one need be
ashamed to invite her guests to partake.
Of course at most seasons of the year,
ham, sausages, or fresh meat are kept
on hand, and in such case the salt pork
may be dispensed with. Guests expe-
rience very uncomfortable feeling at
seeing that their presence has caused a
distul bance of the household ma
chinery. They have come to see you
and not merely to get good dinner,
and happy is the woman who can en-
terrain CT ance visitor without making
him feel that he is disturbing ele-
ment, for the time being, in her home.
