UNSOPHlSTICATED.


She was bashful, self-conscious but rosy
This fresh little bud from the fields;
Shed blush like the heart of posy
When to the soft zephyr it yields
And not being well up in grammar,
Shed often say came stead of ''come,"
And she'd pick at her apron and stammer,
And "at home" with this maid, was st
hum
And the questions she'd ask you were funny
On matters irrelevant quite;
But her smile was so open and sunny,
To answer them all was delight.
And she'd tell you, with naive little touches
OF frankness confding as sweet
OF things the most personal, such as
Her age and the size of her feet
And of quizzing she'd never suspect you.
Though amused at her SallieS you were,
And her laughter uncurbed would infect you
AS well as her "bon hommie'' rare.
AS for slang-let US draw here the curtain,
And country slang, mind you at that
And, heavens! the town bellies, I'm certain,
Most swooned at the style OF her hat
Yet, still, this sweet maiden bucolic
Had virtue enough in her way;
Though rather too re ..dy to frolic,
She kept incoming dudelets at bay.
In fact she had just enough ''gumption,"
Or call it good sense, If you please,
While blandly ignoring presumption,
With look the .'presumer" to freeze.
And then she could get up such dishes,
And 'fixin's an things, THAT you'd own
That never such cooking delicious
To tickle your palate you'd known.
Besides. she made all her own dresses
AS well as her sisters, they say,
And neatly she groomed her brown tresses,
Though not in conventional way.
So while all the girls in the city,
Where she'd 'com' for to visit SPELL"
Tried, each. to be bri uant and witty,
And laughed at her frequent 'do :ell,"
She kept her own gait most demurely,
Nor noticed their quizzing and chaff,
And, all quite unconscious, was surely
On them neatly turning the laugh.
For soon it appeared that this posy,
So yerdant and fresh from the fields;
So blushiug, confiding and rosy,
With arts that true innocence wields,
Had captured nobility's scion,
The hope of the citified BELLE
Who said, as she sighed for her lion:
"Well there! Did you ever Do tell"

PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
fhe Birds Have a Dance Very Much
the Indian Order.

The Birds Have 81 Dance Very Much On
the Indian Order.
AT this season of the year North
American birds are busily engaged at
love making, preparatory to mating
and nest building. In an article on
the Lives and Loves of North Amer
lean Birds" in the Nineteenth Century,
John Worth gives the following de-
scription of the preliminary courtship
OF the ''prairie chickens" "After the
disappearance of the snow," he says,
and the coming of warmer weather,
the prairie chickens (sharp-tailed
grouse) meet every morning at gray
dawn, in companies from six to TWEEN
ty, on some selected hillock OF knoll,
and indulge in the dance At first
the birds stand about in ordinary atti-
tudes, resembling people at ball be.
fore the music begins, when suddenly
one of the cocks lowers his head,
spreads out his wings nearly horizontal
~ and his tail perpendicularly distends
his air sacs and erects his feathers,
then rushes across the floor taking
the shortest of steps, but stamping his
1eet so hard and so rapidly that the
sound is like that of the kettle drum;
at the same time he utters sort of
bubbling crow, which seems to come
from his air sacs, beats the air with his
wings, and vibrates his tail so that he
produces loud, rustling noise, and
thus becomes a really astonishing
spectacle. Soon after one commences
all the cocks join in, rattling, stamp
ing, drumming, growing and dancing
together furiously; louder and louder
the noise, faster and faster the dance
becomes, until at last they madly whirl
about, leaping over each other in ex-
cltement. After a brief spell the en-
ergy of the dancers begins to abate,
and shortly afterward they cease, and
stand or move about very quietly, until
they are again started by one of their
number leading off, as human dancers
are observed to do during the intervals
OF rest between their performances.
The whole operation reminds the
looker-on so strongly of Cree dance
as to suggest the possibility of its being
the prototype of the Indian exercise.
The space occupied by the dancers
IS from fifty to one hundred feet
across, and as it is returned to year after
year the grass is usually worn off, and
the ground trampled down hard and
smooth. Dancing is indulged in at
any time of the morning or evening in
May, but is usually at its height before
sunrise -

Recipes.

BOILED BEETs.-Wash we'll, but DO
not break the skin or the roots. Cover
with boiling water and cook until ten
der. Drop in cold water, remove the
skins with the hands, slice and pile on
dish. Season we'll with butter and
a little pepper, heat moment in the
oven. Yellow and red beets look we'll
together. Vinegar may be added to
dressing if liked.
Or when tender slice into a granite
kettle with little minced parsley or
shallot, two tablespoons butter, and one
half cup vinegar. Simmer ten minutes
and serve.
Beet pickles should be simply boiled
in salted water, and if small, left whole
or cut in quarters, and be covered with
vinegar. A little sugar and ginger are
liked by some to give favor.
RIPE CUCUMBER PICKLE There
are few more relishable delicacies than
ripe cucumber pickles. These are so
easily prepared that the prudent house.
wife should never allow this vegetable
to go to waste.
Select perfectly ripe, solid cucum-
bers; peel them with a sharp knife and
slice lengthwise. If the cucumbers are
very long, it may be more desirable to
cut these long strips in half. Rinse
them in cold water, then boil in syrup
made with a quart of vinegar and one
pound of sugar with spices and season
ings to taste. When semi transparent
the pickle is done, and should be re-.
moved into a jar, the syrup boiled
down and poured over them.
The ordinary custom demands boiling
the vinegar several times and pouring
it over them, but if the syrup is cooked
down to remove the water, and the
cucumber is again put in, allowed to
come to boil and put up in cans after
the fashion of ordinary canned fruit,
there is no need of apprehension about
its keeping. Indeed, it is becoming a
we'll nnderstood fact that the old fash
ioned way of boiling and skimming at
intervals during the season is waste of
time aDd strength.
1t is much better TO put up all pre-
serves in regular fruit cans. Even
pickles, sour or sweet, do much better
prepared in this way, as one jar at a
time may be opened during the hot
weather. and there is no danger that
any of the preserve will be spoiled.

Lillian Russell, gays the New York World
Is a very handsome woman. Whether in 9

women she would carry off the first prize

therefore, chat her observations and opinions
on this matter would be worth something,
