A Simple but Effective Method Of

OF the thousand and one remedies
recommended for burns and scalds,
none possesses anything like the
efficacy OF bicarbonate OF sodium

particularly impressed with its use

is not properly applied. It'll usually dir

ofthe soda and wrapit around the part
The proper plan, however, is to make
paste OF soda and water and spread
it literally over the burned surface.
A few turns OF a cotton or linen rag
will hold the paste in position.
The paste must not be allowed to,
become dry or stiff but should be
kept soft and moist by pouring a
little water over the rag from time to
time. Ii these directions are followed

other items of the menu cooked by;

Tom never quite knew howfe came
about, but a fortnight after Mrs Kerr
found herself established at The Lau:

she could finally dispose OF her furni-

the beautiful face looked sad and sor-
rowful, and occasionally fearful also.
One evening she knocked timidly at
the door Of Toms sanctum, and,
having taken the seat he offered,
looked into his face and said in g.
fearful voice:

Tom murmured a few incoherent
words and the next thing that hap
pened was that his arms were around
her, and she was crying gently on his
breast. She made an Intellectual
struggle to free herself, but the clasp
was strong and kind.

Running for Life,

Mr.. F. F. Tuckett, with two English
friends and two guides, was climbing
one OF the loftier peaks OF the Alps.
Ulrich, one OF the guides, was leading,
when suddenly cracking noise was
heard somewhere above them. In
lstantly ali eyes-excepu Ulrich's, who
was a little hard of hearing-were
turned upward to the overhanging ice
cliff. The next moment a huge mass
OF ice broke away. mingled apparently
with a still greater mass OF snow from
the slopes above. What followed is
thus described by Mr.. Tuckett:
Instinctively I bolted for the rocks
OF the Rothstock, if haply it might
not be too late, yelling rather than
shouting to the others, Run for your
lives"
Ulrich was the last to take the alarm,
though the nearest to the danger, and
was thus eight or ten PAGES behind
the rest of us; but by this time we
were all straining desperately through
the deep, soft snow for dear life, yet
with faces turned upward to watch
the swift oncoming OF the foe.
Nearer and nearer it came, its front
like q mighty wave that is about to
break, yet still "on the curl hangs
pausing.' Now it has traversed the
whole width Of the glacier above US,
taking a somewhat diagonal direc-
ton. And now run, oh, run! if ever
you did, for here it comes straight at
us, still outhanking us, swift, deadly
and implacable!
The next moment we saw no more.
A wild confusion OF whirling snow and
fragments of ice-a frozen cloud
swept over us, entirely concealirg us
from one another; and still we were
untouched-at least l knew that 1
was-and still we ran.
Another half-second ard the mist
had passed, and there lay the body
OF the monster, whose head was still
careering away at lightning speed far
below us, motionless, rigid and harm
less.
1t will naturally be supposed that
the race was one which did not admit
of accurate timing by the performers;
but think the whole thing, from first
to last, did not occupy more than five
or six seconds,

had found that by swaying to and

a pleasant rocking motion.
As the ship had no other cargo, and

Lemonade by Rule.

Eleanor Hamilton was fourteen
years cd, and like most girls of four
teen she was fond of the society OF
young women even more advanced in
age than herself. So when Kitty Will
liams, her dearest friend, aged fifteen,
brought her cousin Maud Williams,
aged seventeen, to CALDWELL, Eleanor
felt like a grown-up young lady.
1t was warm summer afternoon,
and Eleanor had taken her guests to
the broad piazza that was already
furnished with two little tables, q
hammock, and number of chairs. 1t
was so sheltered by vines that only q
stray sunbeam found its way into the
gre retreat.
Kitty AMI Maud had been seated
about five minutes, when a trim little
maid appeared, bearing pitcher and
three tumblers.
"Miss Jessie sent you this, with her
compliments.
ooh, lemonade! How kind of your
sister," exclaimed Kitty. II hope we
will see her this afternoon"
"Jessie is up to her eyes in dough,
so to speak, answered Eleanor. Ever
since she graduated from the &C oking-
school nothing will keep her and her
cookbook out OF the Kitchen
"And did she make the delicious
lemonade?"
"Of course she did," said a fresh
blithe voice. "She made it, as she
makes everything else, by rule"
"Oh, Jessie, do tell us your rule.
Somehow l never get it quite right.
Do tell me exactly how YOU made
his, and I'll promise to follow your
directions ever after as the fairy
books say"
"I've got some mousse packed in
the freezer that must 60 back to in
a minute. But here's the RECEIPT: To
begin with, allow one lemon to each
tumbler OF water. If you want to
make lemonade for four persons, use
four lemons. Squeeze three and a
half into a pit her, and slice up the
last half-lemon. Use a sharp knife,
and slice it very thin"
"Why not squeeze all four lemons?"
asked Maud. "Why add the sliced
lemon?"
For ornament only" answered
Jessie. at looks pretty in the glasses
with The ice. Then" she continued,
"add four tumblers ofwater, but don't
fill the tumblers quite full. The ice
will melt some, and that weakens the
lemonade trifle. Add three heaping
+easpoonfuls OF granulated sugar for
every lemon used, unless you want it
very sweet. Then stir it thoroughly,
so that when the last glaesful is
poured out, it won't be mass of sy-
rup. Last OF all, add some cracked
ice"
"How much?" asked Eleanor.
Gas much as thecook will give you,"
answered Jessie, laughing. ooh, dear!"
she added, in mock despair. "My
mousse! my moussen' And bidding a
hasty good-by to her friends, the little
cook betook herselfto her kitchen and
to the interesting connection known
as mousse, leaving Eleanor, Kitty,
and Maud to their own devices.

"Not forgetting that you advised
the dodge to be trie1," Tom retorted.
Any further conversation was ter
minated by the entrance of Mrs. Kerr,
who stood in the doorway looking
from one to the other. A stray ray
of sunshine touched her lovely hair
and sweet pathetic face so soft that
even Maggie, the practical, was fain
to admit that Toms extravaganza
had not been so exaggerated after all.
II am sorry to have kept you wait
ing" she commenced, "but"-

"actually it is, dear Marion"
Dear Marion, thus accosted, smiled
redly, and returned Maggie's warm
embrace.
"It is an old school friend of mine, -
the latter said, incoherently. "Tom,
you have heard me speak OF her?
What memory you have to be sure!
And to think OF you being married,
and never knew it. And a widow al
so! Let me see, l have not seen you
for four years, since you left Mrs.
Grimshaw's. You must come and see

Tom, looking on, thought that al
though Mrs. Kerr seemed pleased
to see her old friend, she was strange.

questions both hurriedly and confus-
edly; the strange feeling that she was
