The Legend of the Tea Plant.

Do you know how the tea plant came
to grow? s. very lovely Chinese maiden
loved with all her soul an equally beau
tiful Chinese youth, but, alas, she had
a rival However, he plighted his troth
to her, and all went merry as rice and
fre-craclzers could make it. Just be-
fore the wedding the beauteous youth
laid himself down under a tree to take
a nap. He Looked like picture on a
screen. His beauty was too much for
the wicked girl, who also loved MIN, but
who was not to be bis bride So she de-
termined to take away some Of his good
looks. His lashes eurleJ on his cheeks
like bang newly done By French hair
dresser. Going up to him she immedi-
ately cut them off When his own, his
true love, saw him after the accident
she said: Can this be you?" and he
said it was. Then he told of the wicked
one, and they both prayed to the gen.
tlest of Chinese gods to finish him ND
and make his eyelashes grow again,
and the Chinese god, being economical,
said: THE ones you have lost shall
not be wasted; go and plant them, and
from them shall spring tree that shall
delight all mankind" And they did as
he told them, and at the wedding they
had tea from the youths evelashes, and
the wicked one wept and was beheaded.

| had desire to visit the morgue on
the Bellevue grounds at the East river
and Twenty-sixth street. On pleasant
afternoon, along with couple OF COM
panions, | strolled about the grounds of
the old stone house of suffering, where
so many of our profession have cashed
their checks, and then we accepted the
invitation of Mr.. White, the morgue
keeper, to visit the house of the dead.
He was an exceedingly cordial and
affable sort of fellow. There were
about twenty dead men and women on
the slabs, some tagged and ready for
the next boat TO the Potter's field, and
others awaiting Identification.
1--WE have pretty fair collection of
finds to-day" said the morgue keeper
/ in his matter-of-fact way.
He then went on to tell Us how many
unknown dead were brought to the
morgue from the two rivers and New
York bay last year. l think he said
that during period of twelve months
that had just passed more than four
hundred bodies had been buried in Pot
ter's field without Identification.
Among the number were men and
women, old and young, with the wrecks
of great city in the majority. While
we were talking upon this CHASTITY sub
iect just outside the morgue door an old
woman came lettering up.
"Hello, auntie!" said the norgue
keeper.
The old woman bowed, but did not
speak. and entered the morgue.
who is that?" asked.
'Why, that's an old caller of ours.
Been here every day for nearly two
years now, rain or shine"
Looking for some one, suppose?"
Eyes, a daughter. She is not of the
poor class, but dresses very plainly.
We les her view the bodies every day.
For every woman who looks like her
daughter she provides a decent burial
and flowers, too. l tell you, there is
nothing mean about auntie."
Just then an attendant rushed up
and said: "Auntie has tainted over
No. 49,"
We found that No. IS was rather
comedy young woman who had been
taken from the river that morning.
Il guess she has found her daughter
at last, said the morgue keeper, as he
lifted the unconscious form of the old
woman and carried her outside.
1t was, indeed, a pathetic scene, and
one | shau never forget.
On the bosom of the dead woman lay
bunch of flowers, placed there by the
mother who had at last ended her
search for her lost daughter.
The morgne keeper told me that the
old woman's child had gone wrong and
had disappeared from her home. The
mother somehow had a premonition
that she would destroy herself, and so
continued her visits to the morgue.
do you have many scenes like this
one?'' asked the morgue keeper before
leaving.
That's only one of a thousand" he
replied

SELECTED RECIPES.
Something Old and Something Now 70
the House wife to Try

Something Old and Something Now for
the Housewife to Try.
The old-fashioned crystalized orange
peel, homemade coufection in which
our grandmothers delighted, is now to
be found at some of the retail shops.
The best oranges for this purpose are
the Mediterranean and sweet-rinded
Valencias. 1t would be a waste of time
and material to attempt to crystalize
the favorless Florida orange peel. As
only the rind is used in this candy, the
pulp and juice may be utilized for some
other purpose.
Put the peel in cold water and set it
away for at least nine days. Then scald
it up in the water in which it has
been soaking. 1t must be kept while it
is soaking in cold place, but not where
it will freeze. When it has been
thoroughly soaked, boil it till it is
tender, drain it out of this water, dry
it with cloths, and cut it into long
strips of uniform size. Make thick
strip, IN the proportion of a pint of
sugar to pint of water. When this
sirup has boiled ten minutes put the
peel in it and let it boil down slowly
until it begins to shrivel and the strip
is reduced to rather soft candy. This
can be ascertained by testing the
strip. When it forms soft, creamy
ball between the fingers it has cooked
enough. Drain the peel out, spread it
on creased papers, taking care that the
strips do not touch each other. When
they are thoroughly dried make them
into little sheaves, tying them around
the center with narrow ribbon of
white satin or pale orange color. They
look very pretty piled on low bonbon
dish.
An excellent Bavarian cream can be
made of half box of gelatine, one-half
pint of milk, one pint of cream, one tea
spoonful of vanilla, one pint of sugar.
one cup of strong boiling coffee. Cover
the gelatine with cold water and let il
soak for half hour; then pour over it
the boiling coffee; add the sugar and
stir until it is dissolved; then strain in
to tin basin; let stand until cool
While it is cooling whip the cream.
When cool, add first the milk, and then
the whipped cream; stir carefully until
thoroughly mixed, turn into mold and
set away to harden.
Caramel Bavarian cream may be made
as above, using one pint of milk, two
ia blespoonfuls of caramel, and gill
of sherry instead of the coffee.
Have you ever made potato soup? IF
not suppose you try this: Peel and slice
a dozen medium-sized potatoes and boil
ten minutes. Drain off the water, add
two quarts of cold water, one small or
half large onion, one head of celery
or the tops of one head, and any soup
herbs you like, Let the soup boil for
an hour, then strain it through coll
ander, rubbing all through, and return
it to the pot. Rub tablespoonful Of
butter and stir it into the sparrows,
potatoes, eringoes. lettuce, chestnuts.
oysters, citron, artichoke, eggs, lemons,
barberries, pepper, nutmeg, cloves,
mace, currants, sugar and wine.
In these days of revivals some one
with taste for antiquities may like to
experiment with this if she can find
the ngredients-Chicago Times.

remember it as though it were only

the Palisades near Hobol1en. That was

pack of frecrackers left.
While roaming about l found my ven

fsherman's boat that had been hauled
well up ont OF the Hudson's reach. By
my grandfather's side lay his mammoth

IN me, and / placed my last pack of fire
crackers in the capacious NAV of that
upturned stovepipe, Then I gently

nIeasnring Candle Pnuer.

The method of measuring the candle
power of light in simply to move an
object along a graded scale, away from
the light, until it ceases to cast a
shadow; a mark on the scale at this
point indicating the candle power of
the flame. 1t is apparent that the
shadows thrown are to a great extent
dependent on the intensity of the light.
Thus water gas, which gives more in
tense light to given area than coal
gas, casts a strong shadow in the meas
uring machine, but when put to prac-
teal use it does not illuminate a room
so well, not having so great diffusive
power as coal-gas light of the same
measured candle power. An analogous
case is that of the sixteen-candle-po
incandescent light 1t is very intense
but does not illuminate a room as we'll
as gas light of equal candle power.
What the public wants is better illu-
mination and it would seem that some
other standard should be devised than
the admittedly imperfect one of candle
power.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.
