SHE TURNED THE TABLES.

How u Iittic Homcly knowledge Saved q
Young Lady Much Discomfort.
A young lady through her knowledge
of h~ousewifery rather turned the tables
upon a would be jester one day and let
that individual. who was of the male
persuasion. into a little secret of con-
siderable Importance to those who have
occasion to work in the kitchen as anna
teurs.
The two were members Of a party Wis.
iting an Adirondack camp in the Sara
mac lake region. Every one was well
acquainted, and the days passed merrily
away until a heavy rainstorm drove
the ladies and the less enthusiastic fish
ermen indoors and compelled them to
seek other forms Of amusement. The
rain continued to fall almost without
intermission for several days, and as a
means to relieve the monotony the gen.
tleman already referred to proposed that
the various members of the party try
their hand at cooking the next meal.
Permission was obtained from the host,
the members of the party laughingly
agreed to the proposition, and the guide,
whose duty it was to act as cook, was for
the time sent about other business. The
gentleman acted as chef, ard with q
knowledge obtained from serving on the
house committee of a prominent New
York club proceeded to assign various
work to his aids and appointed the young
lady first vegetable cook for the express
purpose of making her peel onions. the
odor Of which she loathed.
When the party adjourned to the kitch-
en- to begin preparations, a large supply OF
strong Odored red onions was brought to
the lady, and she was requested to remove
the outer cuticle. The acting chef and the
others who had been let into the secret
made merry over the supposed discount.

Bring me a deep pan" she said to hel

filled it to the brim with water. Then
she tucked up her sleeves to the elbow
showing just the prettiest pair of arms
in the world, and removing her rings set
to work pe'tsng the onions under water
with a deftisa S that showed how famil.

1t vas a revelation to the man, who
had looked either for a vigorous protest,
or had expected to see the eyes of the
vegetable cook water from the effects OF
the onion juice. The amateur dinner
was in every way a success, but none OF
the cooks achieved a greater triumph
than the n whose practical experience
showed to the others the common sense

About

One speaker, referring to the prevalent
ignorance about common things, said
that he once saw a laborer digging fints
in the chalk and asked himif he thought
they grew.
"No," vas the reply. II don't think
about it; I knows they do"
"Then place a flint on your chimney
piece and see how much it grows in a
twelvemonth."
Cali right, sir, and do you do the same
with a later and see how much that
grows."-Youth's Companion.

THE sHlPMAN's TALE.

Listen. my masters. speak n~aughtbut truth.
From dawn to dawn they drifted on and on,
Not knowing whittier or to what dark end.
Now the north froze them, now the hot south
scorched.
Some called to God and found great comfort so;
Some CRASHED their teeth with curses, and soma
laughed
An empty laughter seeing that they lived,
Day after day the same relentless sun;
Night after night the same IMPLYING stars.
At intervals fierce lightnings tore the clouds,
Showing vast, hollow spaces, and the sleet
Kissed, and the torrents Of the sky wero loosed.
From time to time o nan relaxed its grip,
And some pale wretch slid down into the dark
With stifled moan, and transient horror seized
The rest who waited, knowing what must be.
At every turn strange shapes reached up and
clutched
The whirling wreck, held on awhile, and then
Slipt back again into that blackness whence
they came.
All. hapless folk, to be so tost and torn,
So racked by hunger, fever, fire and wave,
And swept at last into the nameless void
Frail girls, strong men and mothers with their
babes!
And were none saved?
My masters, not a SOUL
Oh, %shipman. woeful. woeful is thy tale!
Our hearts are heavy, and our eyes are dimmed.
What ship Is this that suffered such ill fats?
What ship, my masters? Know We not?-ths

Almost every afternoon there is a

Sum just before o'clock two or three
women, with bright summer gowns,
come in through the narrow stage en-
trance. One OF them, a mere girl, who
carries a small handbag, goes on to a
dressing room, and the others sit down
on the few trunks and chairs that are
about. Then come more young women
with small handbags, and they also go
off toward the dressing rooms.
In the center OF the stage
is long bar about four
feet from the floor. TO which the sup
ports holding it are firmly screwed. 1t
is all very mysterious. An outsider
would be still more puzzled when, after
ten or fifteen minutes full-fedged pre-
miere danseuse appears in the stltfest
