WAYS of PreparinC Asparagus.

A friend, who is noted for her excel
lent serving of asparagus, gives the fol
lowing suggestions for its preparation:
The bunch should be plunged into boil
ing water which is we'll sailed, set down
on the root end with the tips we'll out
Of the water, as the steam cooks them
quite sufficiently. Almost any aspara-
gus will be we'll cooked after twenty
five minutes boiling. 1t can then be
taken into a cOllander and drained, the
strings carefully cut and the vegetable
arranged on toast to serve. There are
several sauces used with it-cither plain
butter, pepper and salt, or yet a sauce
Hollandaise being quite popular, or
drawn butter may be poured over it.
Sometimes, when the tips of aspara-
gus are served with toast as an especial
ly dainty-dish. the stalks are well boiled
and strained for a soup. Asparagus soup
may be made with either stock or water.
If stock is used the white is preferable,
and cream is frequently added to make
the soup still richer. 1t is a delicious
soup. Asparagus can be steamed to
warm it over. and "a be cut in small
bits and stirred into an omelette, if any
happens to be left V from dinner

The True Artist.

Henry Norman gives the following
instance of modest self estimate in the
case Of a man who is n of the most
skillful and original artifcers in the
world, and whose works are everywhere
admired:
This ivory carver sat in his little room,
open to his little garden, chiseling upon
a magnificent tusk, from which was
just emerging a very graceful female
figure. The ivory he held between hi,
knees, and the tools were spread out al
his side.
How long will this take YOU" ]
asked.
about four months" he replied.
And what is the proportion between
the value of the material and the value
Of the labor in such q work as this when
completed?'
4 paid $40 for this piece of ivory
said he, and our months work, at $5C
a month, is $780,"
And this man was estimating his work
at less than forty American dollars L
month! His was the true artists tenn
permanent, for he was willing to accept
only what would supply him with the
necessaries Of life, depending for hi:
actual reward on the joy of seeking K
do a perfect work.
Are yon not very sorry sometimes,
askedI, Ito part with che of these works
that have been companions and a par
of your life for so lOng?'
He looked up for a minute at a grea'
white lily nodding above him in th'
garden, and then gently shook his head
NO" he said. Il expect the next K
be more beautiful still"

The Way Women Do.

IF men were as economical in their
social relations as ome are we would
lot be'such a nation Of spendthrifts,'
said 7. B. Rose, of Minneapolis. Il was
impressed with the force Of this idea to-
day by an observation begun in q cable
car and pursued through a dry goods es-
Enlistment and a restaurant. l saw
two ladies chatting together intimately
IN a car, and when the conductor ap-
preached them to collect the fares one Of
them had no change. The other offered
10 pay for her companions ride, bat the
latter wouldn't submit to the PROPOSE
ton. Instead she borrowed a nickel
from her friend, remarking as she did
so that she would break a bill as soon as
she got down town and repay her. My
curiosity was excited to see If women
really dealt that way with one another.
so l followed the two after they got off
the car. They first entered a dry goods
store, where the borrower made a small
purchase, and as soon as she got her
change she handed her friend five cents,
which was received without the slight
est protest.
Then they went into a restaurant to
get lunch. Each gave separate orders
and the bill of each amounted to thirty
cents. They marched up to the cashier
and each paid her own bill. Now, these
are small transactions, but they are in
dicative Of the difference in the charac-
tiers of men and women. Had the objects
of my observations been men instead of
women, the man who offered to borrow
a nickel for car fare would have ~insulted
the other, and one of them would have
ordered that dinner for both and paid
the bill, which, l may as we'll say, would
have amounted to dollars instead of
cents."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

They Agreed Then and After.

A Baptist minister took charge'of a
parish near Boston where he knew that
one man was decidedly opposed to his
pastorate. Soon after his arrival the
Rev. Mr.. X. called upon Mr.. A.
Brother" said he, Il hear that you
think l am the wrong man TO be the
pastor of this church"
We'll, to be frank" replied Mr.. A, u
do think that another would have filled
the place better"
Now that is just what l think" said
the pastor. But as long as we hold this
opinion in opposition to the majority OF
the Pensioners, let's try TO be unselfsh
and make the best of it,
After that call Mr.. Y. never had a
frmer friend nor more faithful cham
pion than Mr.. A.-BOston Herald.

DID JACOB LEY
an En'barras sing predicament of a Man
chester tEnGiand) shipowner.

an En'baFr"s sing predicament of a Man
chester tEnGIand) shipowner.
y good story IS told of a shipowner of
Liverpool, a Quaker named Jacob, who
prided himself on his honesty. He
would not have told a downright false
hood to save the value Of his best craft.
Jacob suffered one of his best ships to
set sail from Calcutta for home without
any insurance upon either vessel or
cargo. At length he became uneasy.
He was confident his ship had ~encount-
cred bad weather, and he feared for her
safety. In this strait he went to his
friend Isaac.
He called him Friend" though Isaac
was n of the children of Israel. Friend
Isaac" he said, Il would like for thee to
insure my ship which is atsea. Ishould
have done it before, but have carelessly
neglected it. If thee canst have the pol
icy signed all ready for delivery at 3
o'clock on the afternoon of tomorrow, !
will send and get it, and send thee the
money in full"
Isaac did not seem to be anxious to in
sure the ship, but, being told that 10
u~nfavorable intelligence had been heard
from her, he said he would have the pol
icy made out to take effect on and after
3 o'clock Of the following day, but to
owe the ship and cargo from leaving
India. Early on the following morning
Jacob received a message by the hand
Of a captain just arrived to the effect
that his ship was stranded and her cargo
Loot Thic Woo y-o-,, ,,,f,r4,DnTo
Should friend Isaac happen to hear
the news before the policy was made
out he would not make it out at all, or
if it was made out and not signed he
would not sign it. What was to be done:
Jacob wanted to act honestly. 1t would
not be right to let Isaac go on and make
out the policy under such circumstances.
Finally he hit. upon a plan. He sum
moned his confidential clerk and said:
Tell friend Isaac that l have heard from
my ship, and if the policy is not signed
he need not sign it." The clock was
close upon the hour Of 3 when the clerk
arrived at Isaac's Office. Friend Jacobs
message was delivered; the ship had
been heard from, and if the policy was
not signed he need not sign it.
Il think | am in season to save it,
the clerk said. No, SIR answered
Isaac promptly and emphatically. In
truth the policy of insurance had no,
been signed, for the insurer had been in
doubt. When Isaac heard the message
he judged at nee that the ship was safe
and that Jacob sought to save the heavy
item of .premium he had agreed to pay.
No. sir" he said, ''you are not in time.
1t is past o'clock, the policy is signed
| will go and get it."
He slipped out and hastily finished and
signed the policy, and having dried the
ink he brought the document to the
clerk, demanding III return the sun
which had been agreed upon. The money
was paid and the policy was taken home
to friend Jacob, who received it very
gladly. The end can be readily i'm.

WHY PeIrarch Is Remembered.

Petrarch thought it a disgrace that
his verses should be sung in the streets.
and he regretted that he had written
anything in the vulgar tongue. No one
now reads his Latin poetry, but every
reader Of Italian is charmed with the
poems that attracted and suited the pop
ular taste, which is made kin by a touch
of nature, whether from the Tyre or the
pen.-Notes and Queries.

thick white comb, pumpkin and mince
pie, white and brown bread, and great
dish OF luscious pears and rosy-cheeked
apples.
When it was all ready and two tiny
bouquets made from the few flowers she
had, and placed by Lute's and Bertie's
plate, Faith ran upstairs to brush her
tumbled hair. battle her heated face and
array herself in her pretty soft-gray
gown, bunch Of pink chrysanthemums
thrust in the dainty bodice.
Bert gave shrill whistle when she
came down, and shouted Great Scott"
in royal school-boy fashion: but it was
the kind gray eyes watching her SO
steadily at the other end of the table
that made her blush SO furiously.
Next day when Mrs. Darrows came
home. and had BERTHE in her arms once,
1e confided to her that Thanksgiving
Day hadn't been much of q time 'cept
the dinner. That Faith and he had lots
of fun until Cousin Lutte came home,
and after that Faith had 'lected him
right along, and didn't seem to care to
muse anybody else but Lutte. Not but
what Cousin Lutte is good enough most
time, mamma, bnt do think too much
OF him is newsance."
And that night when Faith, with her
blushing face hidden on her mothers
neck. told the sweet old story Of Lute's
love for her and their reconciliation, she
added with touch of her old sarcasm,
"but it I ever have any more love-
making on hand, deliver me from having

There was q general burst of laughter
at this remark, for they all knew Bert 8
hobby-horse was taffy, saddled with
'musement.
Thank you, little boy" Faith an
swered; 1T is rare thing for me to be
appreciated by young gentleman;
Cousin Lutte here, for instance, does
not agree with you at all. And she
glanced saucily over to where he was
standing. Lutte Dinsmore's face flushed
angrily as he met her imperious look,
but he did not answer. So, catching
her pretty, sweet-faced mother around
the waist, and Waiting her about the
room, she went on:
Now, 1 hope, since Bertie agrees, that
you are convinced it is your bounden
duty to 60 to grandpa's and spend
Thanksgiving as usual. Don't interrupt
me; I have it all planned, you see
Lutte is going to drive you and the girls
over this afternoon, old Mike will sleep
In the house to keep off burglars, and
BERTHE and I will,have glorious fun"
just here let me explain that pretty,
sad-faced Mrs. Darrows was a widow
with four children. Faith, the eldest, q
fun-loving. saucy young lady Of IS
Belle and Kitty, twin sisters, two years
younger, and BERTHE, q slim, mischiev-
GUS boy Of 6-who in searching for
amusement in the top of a tree two
weeks before, fell out of it and broke
his leg. This accident had quite upset
Mrs. Darrows' plans for spending
Thanksgiving at her childhood's home,
as she had never failed to do since her
marriage. Since Mr.. Darrows' death
two years before. Luther Dinsmore, q
cousin Of the family, had lived with
them and managed the farm. He was a
sensible, manly young fellow of 25, with
q heart Of gold, and all the family were
'devotedly attached to him. Faith alone
snubbed him numerically, and they
quarreled one day and made up the
next.
Impetuous, fun loving Faith was au-
thority In the Darrows' household, and,
as usual, soon won her mother over to
her way Of thinking in regard to this
much talked-of Thanksgiving visit.
And at three o'clock that afternoon she
stood in the yard, with a shawl wrapped
about her, and watched the happy load
drive away in the handsome new cutter,
to which the horses had never been har-
messed before.
Shutting her tremulous lips resolute-
", Faith marched into the house; and
all the rest of the afternoon was as
sweet and entertaining and Jolly as
even the fastidious Berthe could wish.
While she was cleaning off their small
tea table Mike came into the kitchen,
hat In hand. stammering and hesitating.

In the Old Home.

Like the patient moss to the rifted hill
The wee brown house is clinging;
A last years nest that is lone and still,
Though it erst was filed with singing.
Then feet were the children's patterine
feet
And their thrilling childish laughter,
And many voices were sWeet-oh, how
sweet!
Ringing from floor to rafter.
The beautiful darlings. one by one,
From the nests safe shelter flying,
Went forth in the sheen OF the morning
Their fiuttering pinions trying.
But oft as the reaping time is Ger,
And the boar frost crisps the stubble,
They haste to the little home once more
From the great worlds toll and trouble.
And the mother herself is at the pane.
With q hand the dim eyes shading,
And the flush of girlhood tints again
Tho cheek that is thin and fading.
For her boys and girls are coming home,
The mothers kiss their guerdon,
As they came ere yet they had learned to
roam
Or bowed to the task and burden.
Over the doors worn sill they troop,
The skies of youth above them,
T he blessing of God on the happy group
Who have mother left to love them!
They we'll may smile In the face Of care
To whom such grace is given
A mothers faith and mothers prayer
Holding them close to heaven.
There are tiny hands that pull her gown,
And small heads bright and golden;
The childish laugh and the childish frown,
And the Gimpled fingers folden,
That bring again to the mother breast
Tho spell OF the sunny weather
When she hushed her brood in the crowded
nest,
And all were glad together
A truce to the jarring notes of life,
The cries OF pain and passion!
Over this luil in the eager strife
Love bovers, Eden fashion.
In the wee brown house were lessons taught
OF strong and sturdy living.
And ever where honest hands have wrought
God hears the true Thanksgiving.
The Home Maker.
