Henry Stewart gives in his Dairy

for preparing this summer delicacy:
One of the most desirable uses of
cream in its sweet state is for making
clotted cream, 4 delicious article Of food,
a substitute for butter OF condiment
for fruit and pastry. 1t is made as fol-

pans for twelve hours, the pans Of milk
are set upon a stove on heater without

The pans are then put back into the
dairy. In twenty-four hours more a
thick, solid skin of cream is thrown up,
which can be rolled TIP and lifted off the
milk without falling apart. This cream
is then sold for immediate use as above
mentioned, OF is made into cream

BEVERLEY BELLS.


Hark Harkl
Beverley Bells are ringing,
Are ringing DER the lea.
Their clear tones fill the twilight chill
With changing melody
There's a white face at a window.
There's a sad heart in the town;
Is that bride by the gray freside,
Clad in a wedding gownY
Ring, Bells OF Beverley,
Ring on as ye rang then;
Ihefe is no mirth In Heaven or earth,
no truth in the hearts Of menl
Hark Hark
Beverley Bells are ringing.

Twas years ago they once rang 50,
And Oh, the dream was sweetl
He is not dead. but faithless-
She donned her gown in vain:
Though her heart may break for his false
sake,
He will not come again!
Ring, Bells Of Beverley,
Ring on as yc rang then;
There is no mirth in heaven or earth.
No truth in the hearts of meDl
HushI Hush.
Beverley Bells are dying
Upon the still night air;
There's figure at the threshold.
There's football on the stair,
Regretting, grieving. yearning
For the love of days gone by,
He has come at last to redeem the past
Why makes she 10 reply?
Ring, Bells Of Beverley,
For broken spirit passed,
For weary breast that has found its
rest,
And soul at peace at last!

We left the swart bank of the sluggish Nile,
Where fleets Of traffic block its gaping
mouth,
And over many tedious inland mile
We journeyed toward the south.
At last we came beside stony pile
That reared its head above the drifted

Looking across the ages with smile

Igazed upon that sight weary while,
woman's head, with body Of beast,
And vainly tried the twain to reconcile,
Until the night had ceased.
We foated back by lotus lake and isle.
And watched the ibis take his monday

Beside the scaly sluggard crocodile,

"You might take chloroform," sug-

But this did not seem to help matters,
and SO time went on until Maud anl
Morris were invited to join party 81
young people to see the old year out anc
the new year in. This was in the las
days Of 1888.
The evening was 4 gay one, and, al
usual, Morris hung about Maud, dancing
with her as often as possible, deyourine
her with his eyes and evidently Jealous
when any one else was with her. Still
he had said no word when after supper
they strolled into conservatory anC
seated themselves under the spreading
branches Of palm.
"Ohl' be exclaimed, how beautiful
You are tonight! You never ought t
dance with any one but me-" Carried
away with himself he seized her hand
"lou ought always to De my partner
Maud looked at him with smiling eyes
Surely now he would say the word, but
he only stared at her in helpless EN-
n barrassment until she whispered, ''FOi
life?v
''Yes, darling" cried poor Morris, sud
denly relieved and carried into a seventh
heaven Of bliss.
He was bold enough now and caught
her in his arms, but she staInmered al
most in tears, '.Oh, what have l done.7
1T is all right, Maud, he said. .'Heal
the bell; it i leap year now"
And at the same moment q troop 81
merry young folks came to the door ol
the conservatory shouting to them e

ton.
My concluding story has perhaps 4

than either Of the others, for in this case
the heroine was d belle, a beauty and
an heiress, while the hero was only j
poor struggling journalist He was d
good fellow, Of exceptional talents, and
was as well born as she, but there was
great gulf between his poverty AMI

Yet he loved her and she knew it, but
she knew equally well that lie would
never ask her to marry him. Thu:

The many variations as to the pronun-
citation Of the name Goethe street cause
some queer misunderstanding and lu-
dicrous situations. A policeman who

he stepped into a corner drug store and
asked the question he had put to the po-
\ iceman.
"Mr. j. lives on Geety street."
"Where is that placer
s'Just eleven blocks north of here"
A Wells street car soon covered the
eleven blocks and Goethe street was
reached. After the interview had been
