"If you don't mind" said Mrs. Dotty,
making her appearance with a shawl over
her head, "I'll Just run over to Devers'
and see what is keeping Miss Bessie"
"Dol" he answered.
She had spoken as il the distance were
not worth considering, but it was quite a
journey for her. When she returned she
looked white and scared.
"She isn't there hasn't been"
"Harkl" said Godfrey Kirke, holding
up one lean hand.
"Thst is only the carrier with the

"Ask him il he has seen her1"

instantly she returned.

Mrs. Dotty smiled hard little smils to
herself as she closed the door aud went
away. She knew how many friends
Bessie had. She shrewdly suspected if
she were not found at one place she
would be at another; and she was malici-
ously and plea 9ntly conscious that she
had given the hard-hcarted old man a
genuine scare.
Long the latter sat where she had left

Thanksgiyin : Roast Pig.

Take choice fat pig six weeks old,
not younger, though it may be a little
older. Have it carefully killed and
dressed, and thoroughly washed. Trim
out carefully with a sharp, narrow-blodei
knife the inside of the mouth and ears,
cit ous the tongue and chop off the end
of the suout. Rub the pig well with a
mixture of salt, pepper and pounded
sage, and sprinkle it rather literally with
red pepper, and dash outside, too.
Make rich stuffing of bread crumbs
corn bread stuffing Is de rigeur for
pig, though you can put half Of one and
half of the other inside of Mr. Piggy if
somebody insists on loaf bread stufiing.
If you use corn bread, have thick, rich
pone of bread baked, aud crumble it as
soon as 1t is cool enough to handle, sea-
son it highly with black and red pepper,
sage, thyme, savory marjoram, minced
onion-just enough to flavor it, and
plenty of fresh butter; molsten it we'll
with stock, cream, or even hot water.
Stuff the pig we'll and sew it up closely.
If you have tin roaster and open fire,
the pig will be roasted by that much
better. If you have not, put the pig in
long pan and set it in the oven, and
leave the stove door open until the pig
begins to cook, gradually closing the,
poor, so that the cooking will not be
done too fast. The pig must be well
dredged with flour when put in the pan.
Mix some -four aud butter together in a
plate, and pour about quart of hot
water in the pan with the pig when it is
put on the fire. Have lariing-mop in
the plate of -four aud butter, and mop
the pig frequently with the mixture
while it is roasting.
If roaster is used, set it about two
feet from the fire at first, but continue
to move it nearer and nearer as the pig
cooks. Basic it frequently with the
water in the pan betweenwhiles of mop
ping with -four and butter.
To be sure the pig is done, thrust a
skewer through the thicllest part of him;
If no pink OF reddish juice oozes out it
is done, and ought to be a rich brown
all over. When the pig is done pour
the gravy in a saucepan and cook it
sufficiently. This will not be necessary
if the pig was cooked in the stove oven.
The pigs liver may be boiled in well
salted water, pounded up, and added to
the gravy, which should be very savory
and plentiful.
The pig should be invariably served
with baked sweet potatoes and plenty of
good pickle and sauce, either mushroom
or green pepper catsup, for despite his
toothsomeness, roast pig is not very safe
eating without plenty OF red pepper

An elderly woman entered the room.
She had small, pale withcred face; a
kind face, though, pleasant, gentle.
She was dressed in a worn dark gown.
The net fichu, crossed over her slender
shoulders, was clasped by an old-fash-
ioned medallion.
"To-morrow will be Thanksgiving
eve," she said; az wished to know if
might prepare for the day after"
An originally handsome apartment,
this in which the old man sat, and it
had been handsomely furnished. Now
both the room and its belongings bore
the mark of creeping poverty, or ex-
treme penuriousness. Tho master of the
house, seated by the center table, seemed
to share the character Of the room. He,
too, had been handsome once. Now
he was expressive only of age and in.
digence, from the threadbare collar of
his limp dresslng-gown to the tips of his
thin and shabby slippers.
"Prepare what7" he growled.
"Why turkey, sir; or a pie, or--or
bit of cranberry sauce, sir"
He looked so fierce, her words died in
her throat.

disgust, "cranberry sauce-the skinny

At recent meeting of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, B. w. De-

while acting as Supervisor and Bridge
Engineer of a railway. He had to use

ming on the railway, frequently employed
by the maintenance of way officials, and
as his track ran through number of
narrow cuts, he happened one day to
think over the best thing to do should
he meet an engine, He decided that the
only way out of this trouble would be to
jump and at the same time overset the
velocipede to the right A trial of this
plan showed that it could be carried out
without injury. The value Of this study
was apparent some time after, when Mr.,

man TO inspect bridge and met loco.

eighteen feet deep. He threw himself
10 the right and jumped at the same

Of the cut. 1t was done so quickly that

British newspapers are discussing
earnestly the question of cIoakrooms in
churches, referring to tho absence of,
and absolute necessity for, facilities tof
,lisposing of wraps, hats and overcoats.
Some churches in the country have wire
hatracks beneath the seats, and few
have wire bars for overcoats aud wraps
on the backs OF seats. One church in
Chicago has regular opera chairs aud the
attendant conveuiences. A cloakroom
seems to the New York Tribune to fill a
long-felt want, for there does not appear
TO be any good reason, these days, any
way, why a man or woman should not
be as comfortable in a church as in a
theatre.

Imports of wheat into Great Britain
during the fiscal year just closed have
amounted to nearly $50, 900, 900 bushels.
This large quantity is in excess OF the
present requirements Of the country, and
the result has been that the price of this
grain has fallen lower than ever known
previously. 1t is believed that 100, ,000,-
900 bushels will be needed to supply the
deficiencies of the coming year.

They Prevent the Taking Up of the Free
Tin Plate Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 30-The session of
the senate yesterday was taken up mainly
in the consideration of general appropria-
bills. The Legislative appropriation bill,
after the adoption of several amendments,
was pass,d and sent to the house for con-
ference. The invalid pension bill, after a
lengthy debate on the several amend
ments, was passed, as was also the post
office appropriation bill and bill for the
relief of certain settlers ON the lands in
North and South Dakota.
Deadlocked for Three Hours.
The house occupied its time in the con.
sideration of conference reports on the
army and Indian appropriation bills, new
conferees being appointed. McMillin
moved to take up the tin plate bill, which
was opposed by the Republicans, who be.
gan to filibuster with privileged motions
and the house was deadlocked for three
hours in repeated roll-calls on motions to
adjourn and calls of the house. At G
o'clock the house adjourned.

THE AMALGAMATED SCALE.
Manufacturers Sign 1t Except at Carne-
rie's Homestead Mills.

PITTsBURG, June 30.-The Amalgamated
association and the iron and steel sheet
manufacturers came to an agreement at
midnight yesterday, and the scale for sheet
mills and tin and block plates was agreed
upon and signed. The scaleis in the main
the same as last year, both sides makiI g
minor concessions. All the furnaces at
Carnegie's Homestead mills were banked
last night. 1t is thought that the company
took this action in retaliation for the men
hanging in efligy yesterday officials of the
firms. This move on the part of the firm
breaks the agreement with the Amalga-
mated association, as the wage scale for
this year does not expire until tonight.
Say They VIII Never Sign.
All the skilled workmen, 1900 in mum.
Der, and members of the Amalgamated as
sociation are now out, and when they will
return to work, if ever, is question.
There are yet about 1900 mechanics and
laborers not members of the Amalgamated
at work, but they will not be needed with
out skilled workmen. The company say
they will never sign the Amalgamated asso-
citation steel scale and their workmen are
just as firm that they will not sign the
Carnegie scale.
