HE WATER PAIL.
IL Continues to do Splendid Service Mt
Fires

1t Continues to do Splendid service Mt
Fires.
With all the ~rcfinemcnts tina have
been made in fire cNtinguishing appa-
ratus, the fact remains that the simple
pail of water is, even at this day. one
of the most efficient pieces of apparatus
of this'ciass that has yet been in use.
Insurance statistics indeed show that
more fires are put out by water pals
than by all other appliances put to-
gcthcr, the only point hat can well be
raised against them being that, while
they are generally provided abundant
ly enough in places where they are
likely to he of service, the water is
very apt to bc wanting. 1t is true also,
in a measure, that, ever If the pals
were kept full, they are often borrowed
for some purpose and not returned, so
that when most needed they are una
valuable. As a way out of this difficult
ty, it has beer proposed to use pals
with round or conical bottoms, which
will not stand on a floor, and are not,
therefore, likely TO be taken OF for
some use for which they were not in
tended, but this form seriously dimin-
ishcs the valuc of the pail as u fire ex-
tinguishcr, since "A man with two of
them in his hands, arriving at the scene
of action, can not use either without
setting the other ON the loor and los
ing all its contents.
As AN improvement IN this, IA super
intcndent in one of the large New
England mills, who had found it dini-
cult 10 keep the fire pals full and in
good order, some time ago adopted the
following interesting c~Npcdicnt, of
which we find an account in some
sc%rapbooll data: The hooks carrying
the pals were fitted up with pieces of
spring steel strong enough To lift the
pail when nearly empty, but not suili-
cicntly so Ia lift Il full pail. Just over
each spring in such Il position to he ont
of the way of the handle of the pail,
was set "A metal point connected with II
wire from an opcn-cirCuit battery. SO
long rs the pals were full, their weight,
when hung on their hooks, kept the
springs down. but rs soon as one was
removed or lost n considerable portion
of its contents 10y evaporation. the
spring on it, hook would rise, coming
in contact with the metal point, thus
closing the battery circuit and ringing
a bell in the managers office, at the
same time showing III an anuunciator
where the trouble was. As the bell
continued t" ring until the weight of
the delinquent pail was restored, it was
impossible To- disregard the summons,
and no more reason was found to COM
plain of the condition of the fire buck

for herself, because she could not go to
Boston in chaise.
When they reached the city they stopped
at the Sign of the Lamb, where Joshua
Simmons put up his team; then they all
went shopping down Hanover street, where
the fashionable stores were at that time.
Serena Ann enjoyed buying Aunt Loves
and Joshua Simmons wedding furniture
quite as much they did. She thought
there was never anything quite so hand
some as their haircloth sofa, and mahog-
any card table, and looking glass, and she
trudged after them to all the shops where

one where they found them cheapest and
best, and never thought of being tired.
But she was glad at noon to go back to

| baked beans and a piece of pumpkin pie.
| They seemed to her far superior to the
| baked beans and pie at home.
After dinner Joshua Simmons left them.

with chopped parsley and Madeira wine;
cover with rolled, Drowned bread crumbs;
stick little bits of butter among the bread
crumbs; bake to a light brown, and serve
boiling hot.
Baked ham.-Those who are accustomed
to boil hams should try one baked for q
change. None of the Juice is lost in the
water and the flesh is as tender as II ii
were praised; the flavor full and mellow.
Soak the ham In cold water for at least
twelve hours; wash 1t well, dry 1t and cut
off all the rusty parts underneath, trim
ming neatly. Wrap the ham inch thick
In a dough made of flour and water; put
the ham thus covered in a baking dish and
bake 1t in hot even for quite four hours.
When done, let II cool a little; then crack
of the crust, remove the skin of the ham
with 1T, and dust over with grated bread.
Benedictine eggs.-Six very small rounds
of white bread toasted, rubbed with onion,
salted and put in the bottom of the salad
bowl; yolks of six hard-boiled eggs, six
cold boiled potatoes sliced fine, six cold
boiled beets, three truffles sliced fine, some
white, crisp celery, two picked cucumbers
sliced thin, whites of the eggs chopped fine
and pinch of Hungarian red pepper. Rub
with olive oil; then add all the other ingre-
dents In order except the paprika-the red
pepper. Toss and turn them about and
cover with mayonnaise dashed with pap
rika.
Ice-cream croquettes are a charming imi-
tation of chicken croquettes in form and
color The brown little pyramids made
firm by a large proportion of chopped
blanched almonds, rest on a bed of whipped
cream-tinted with port wine-instead Of
mashed potatoes; the golden color of the
crust is produced by pounded roasted al
monds, and the parsley on the apex is
copied in shredded green conserves.
The orange salad Is to be served and
eaten With the coffee-a French fashion.
For this, cut four large oranges-peel and
all-in Slices lay them in glass dish,
sprinkle over them a quarter of a pound
of powdered sugar, and q wineglassful Of
brandy or rum. Set the dish on the ice for
at least two hours before serving.

InlpreSsiOns.

The touch OF hand. the glance of an eye,
Or a word exchanged with a passer-by;
glimpse of face in the crowded street
And afterwHrd life is incomplete;
A picture painted With honest zeal
And we lose the old Tor the new ideal;
chance remark, "a songs refrain,
And life is never the same again.
An angercd word from our lips is sped
Or tender word Is left unSaid,
And one there is who, his whole life long.
Shall cherish the brand of burning wIOlg;
line that starcs up from an open page,
cynic smile from the lips of age,
glimpse of loving seen in play.
And the dreams of our youth are swept away.
A friendly smile ana loves embCring spark
Leaps into flame and illumines the dark;
A whispered BE brave to our fellow men
And they pick up the thread Of hope gain
Thus never an act a word or thought
But that with ungucssed Importance Is frauSht,
For small things build up to eternity,
And blazon the ways for a destiny. -

A Costly GLASS of Water.

From the Kansas City Journal
A glass of water is small thing, but IT
knocked out the strongest man in the world
few days ago. Sandow, like the comic
weekly Kentuckian, never drinks water
that is to say when he is travelling. An
athlete in training is easily affected by any
change In diet, so Sandow is in the habit of
quenching his thirst with mineral water
mixed with light wine. But he was very
dry at his hotel Friday, the waiter was slow
and the glass of water at his plate was
tempting. He yielded to the temptation
and has been so ill ever since that his en-
gagement at Chattanooga was Cancelled
and the company will remain here until
Tuesday, while he recuperates. Those who
applauded his feats of strength Saturday
knew nothing of the efforts required for
him not to spoil the 'performa nee, but after
the matinee he said to me: Il am so weak
1 can do nothing. l have no more strength
than a child" q

Fifty years ago Serena Ann lived in
Braintree, and Christmas-keeping was not
yet much the fashion in New England.
Serena Ann was ten years old, and she
had never seen a Christmas tree, hung up
her stoo king or hal a Christmas present
even.
Serena AIMS father was farmer; she
had mother and Aunt Love, her
mothers sister, who lived with them, and
was to be married in February, and a
MTother EbeneZer.
EhtneEer was two years older than Serena
Ann. and went to the district school win
tiers. Serena Ann herself went to school
oniy in the summer. She was delicate
little girl. and the school house was too
far away for her to walk in cold weather.
So she staid ct home, and her mother
heard her spell every day, and she did
sums on a piece of old slate, and was read
ing the Bible through, a chapter every
morning. 50 her education was not ne
elected.
One night in the first week in December
Serena Ann was sitting beside the fire,
with the piece of broken slate on her lap,
trying II do a sum about ten greyhounds
running a race, and how long IL would
take for one to catch up with the other,
when EbeHezer came home from school.
There was light snow falling, and
Ebenezer was powdered with it. He came

and Mrs. Bagley was pairing apples for

she. And don't shake the snow on my

very pretty. with smooth brown hair and
pink cheeks.

LIGHT ON THE GLOVE QUESTION.
How One Woman Keeps Well GlOvea
at Small Expense.

at Small Expense.
From the New York Times
Every woman, particularly every woman
Of limited income, knows what a hole 10
made in that income by the effort, the ne
cessity, indeed, to be well gloved. AS there
is no royal road to learning. so there seems
no cheap way to keep ones hands properly
covered. 1t was a decided respite to tho
eternal glove buying when, last summer,
ia the city, for once fashion permitted tho
ungloved hands hitherto only allowed In
village streets and country lanes.
A woman who has studied the question
from an economic standpoint. and who
succeeds in results, says that for hard,
cold weather wear there is nothing so
satisfactory and so cheap in the end as a
rair of good dogskin gloves. II buy one
pair every fan, she says, for which l pay
from $3.50 to 50. These wear through the
winter, and 1 am cut every day. l use
the pair worn the previous season for
rainy days, and TO- any evening errand
