HER PRECIOUS BASKET.
She Treasured 1t Too Much to Let 1t &c

She Treasured 1t Too Much to Let 1t Go
Out of Her Reach.
A fat woman stopped down-bound
Cold Spring car the other night and
climbed aboard as best she could. She
was handicapped by her flesh and
big market basket which she was car
rying. The car was crowded, and she
had great difficulty in getting into the
vestibule.
Madam" said the conductor, 81 can
find place for that basket over here"
"What's that?" she asked, sharply.
81 say that can find place for that
basket over here"
Young man, couldn't think of let
ting that basket go out of my hands"
But you're blocking up the doorway
with it there"
II can't help that. l paid my fare
and my basket goes with me. would
set it down, only don't dare let it go
out of my hands. Its contents are val
uable."
"But you must get it out of the
way"
The fat woman sputtered and
scolded and wound up by saying that
she would not put the basket down;
she would not get off the car; that she
didn't care if she did block up the
doorway and the conductor was no
gentleman, anyhow, or he wouldn't
speak to lady about little thing
like market basket.
Madam" said the conductor after
the fat woman had quoted down, st
will be perfectly safe over here in the
corner"
81 don't believe it. / am afraid to
trust it there. The contents of this
basket are likely to get hurt down
there under those mems feet"
And she stood there all the way
from Bryant street to Swan. and every
person who got off or on rubbed
against that basket. The men sv ore
and the women said Dear me!' and
looked unutterable things. And the
fat woman hung on to her basket.
When the car stopped at Swan street
an understood man who was crowded
into one corner of the vestibule said
Excuse me, madam, but if you
won't consider it impertinence, would
like to know what you have in that
basket that you are guarding SO close
ly?"
The fat woman looked pleased.
WELL" she said, 81 don't mind tell.

lot of old magazines that my daughte,

and said sarcastic things to the motor

great shock to you; then followed an
illness, then came your marriage, with

you do not really love, for the memory
of the lost lover is still strong upon
you. But in the future ] see you will
grow to love your husbands; he will win
your love by the force of his great
strong love for you"
Mrs. Fairfax opened her lips as if to
speak; they moved, but no sound came;
then, slowly rising from her seat, she
leaned forward, saying in quick, hard
tones
mo more, no more-you have told
me enough. That woman was cruel

man he would have been called a
scoundreL She is not worthy of the
name Of woman; she is she devil, and
hate her for the cruel wrong she did

think her despisnble beyond words"
And with this Mrs. Fairfax turned,
trembling with excitement, and went
hurriedly out of the tent much to the
bewilderment of Mrs. Dallas.
BY the time Mrs. Fairfax reached the
stall where her friend was, however,
all traces of her excitement had passed

of our watch, but sleep we must, even
If small, bare legs do come uppermost
in our dreams. Mothers have tried so
many ways out of the difficulty, and
there are so many mothers, that
doubtless my own little plan is not at
all original, but it is good, and that is
better than originality. 1t is an i'm
provement on the old way of running
string through the hem of the night
dress and drawing it up, because that
method cramps the feet somewhat and
makes them rebellious and uneasy.
For bit of two-year-old, five yards
of outing will make two gowns, aud six
yards will make two for the little four
year-old next in order. There are
grades of outing flannel, but the soft
est fuzziest Is what is needed here,
and can be obtained at 121 cents
yard. First cut off sleeve lengths for
both little nighties, then halve the
goods left and lay aside one-half. Take
the other piece and fold it in the mid
die, and proceed to shape the ends.
The shoulders and arm sizes may be
formed with the two ends together, as
they are the same for front and back,
and then the neck may be cut in shall
low slope behind and deeper curve in
the fropt. Now you are ready to sew up
the sides cover and over" stitch the
shoulder seams and gather the neck
into title, fiat binding. Then cut
the sleeves, rounded little at the top
and with only one perfectly straight
seam inside. The superfluous fullness
is gathered into ruffle at the wrist,
with an elastic run into the top of the
hem SO that it may set very close to
the wrists and keep them warm. The
mittens are basted into the sleeves at
the wrists, and II they are to be made
of outing to match the dress you will
need to get little more goods, as the
five or six yards does not allow much
margin even for wee mittens. The
night dress opens behind, and the
opening should extend a long way
down as needful convenience, and
be closed with five perfectly fiat, small
buttons.
When the little gown is complete,
mittens and all, there is one defense
up against Jack Frost, anyway, and
other defenses are more easily erected
with its aid.
If desired, the sides of the gown may
be gored little, but the fuller the
folds at the throat the warmer it will
make the dress.
OF course wooden goods may be sub
stituted for the outing, or any. other
changes made, provided the bag is left!
And the bag must be long, way below
the ten little toes, or else the ten little
toes will make strenuous objection.
AS it is, there may be a little objection
at first, but when you have instituted
jolly little "saclS-race" to bed, think
the little folks will come over to your
side in majority.-Annie Hamilton

Look Out for Mirrors.

Everything is made easy for the lazy
people of the world. For instance,
people who exercise little ingenuity
can enjoy the sights of the street with
out ever stirring from their comfcrta-
Bile chairs. All that is necessary to do
is to fasten snnll mirror sideways on
the window ledge and then lean back
and watch the world pass by. The
same mirror may be so adjusted in
second-story window that the person
who rings at the front door can be
recognized before the peal has ceased.
The advantages of this it is unneces-
sary to point out. The remarkable
feature of the matter is the number of
such mirrors that may be seen in var
ious neighborhoods. 1t is charitable
Wow of the matter to suppose that in
valids and infrm people are the ones
for whose benefit the mirror show Ia

TO COOK The RABBIT.
Several Methods OF Preparing It for tn
Table.


Several Methods OF Preparing It for tho
Table
Country people say; RABBITS should
never be eaten until they have a chance
to lick the frost off the leaves" Ger
tainly they are in perfection at holiday
time.
In this country the usual method of
cooking rabbit is in the form of stew,
and so savory is it considered that no
attempts are made toadd to its natural
flavor.
in England it is different There
every man who buys, and every woman
who cooks a rabbit, wishes il was a
"hare;" and many are the devices for
rendering the animal which is not
game like that which is. As a result,
there are many delicious ways of cook
ing rabbit, for the most part un-
known to us, The most popular of
these is called Juggling" in imitation
of the 'jugged hare"
Skin and wash the rabbit, laying it
in salt and water for at least an hour.
Cut one-half pound of bacon, rather
fat, also one onion into dice. Put
some cloves, about a dozen, into a
smaller onion, and place the rabbit,
bacon and onions in stone jar. Cover
with one cup of vinegar and one cup of
cold water, Ut should be mentioned
that the English vinegar is made from
malt, and therefore is much stronger
than that ordinarily used in America
so the proportions of vinegar and wa
ter must be regulated accordingly
Add pepper, salt and a little allspice,
also one or two bay leaves. These bay
leaves may be bought at the grocers
put up in packages like herbs Cover
the jar closely. have found the lid
of small saucepan, one that fits into
the top of the jar, answers that pur-
pose. Set in hot oven and let it cook
for two hours.
Wash and clean the rabbit in much
the same manner asu poultry. Then
stuff it with sausage meat and dress
ing made of parsley, bread crumbs, or
whatever you would prepare for tur-
key or chicken. Sew the rabbit to-
gether, place strips of bacon over the
back and bake in q moderate oven,

nave strip of salt pork cut into dice
to flavor it properly. The English add
spices in which mace is the predomi.
mating flavor, but care must be exer.
cised in the use of this, for it is objec-
tionable to many.
The rabbit should be cooked as fol
stew, the gravy thickened and the
whole put into deep dish and baked
with top crust and strips around the
sides, as beef-steak pie is made.
Rabbits may be fried, broiled or cur
ried; in short treated in the same man
ner as chicken, only that spices are
needed in their preparation, and the
English frequently add one or two
glasses of wine, port or sherry as pre-
ferred, to ragouts made ofrabbit. The
idea of the wine is, to give the flavor O.
game as far as possible. Another ad
dition is of the liver chopped fine ant
mixed with the dressing. Minced
liver" is also frequently added to the
gravy, instead of being mixed with thu
dressing. -Detroit Free Press
