1t was decided to bury her and raise
a monument to her on tho Peaks
mound, on which she labored in the
school room and on which she died.
Everyone for miles around attended
the funeral. There was no minister to
preach, but it WAS solemn affair not
withstanding. The body was buried
on the very summit and above it the
men piled up n vast heap of rough
stones. These may be seen there to-
day.
A new set OF people have filed up
the surrounding country. About all
they know about the matter is that
these stones mark the grave of an In

Governor Pattison related the circum-
stances Of midnight trip he made
from that place to Dayton few years

darkness WAS intense and the mud

pushed on, but ut last wo decided to
stop for the night ut the next farm

We heard WIS the sound OF n mans

THAT eEbArINE.

To dissolve gelatine is not SO easy @
matter as some cooks suppose. If the
gelatine is covered with water and
placed on the hearth or on the back
of the stove it will melt in fifteen or
twenty minutes; but in nine cases ont
of ten it will be strong favored and
will spoil whatever it is added to.
This is the reason that gelatine is not
fully appreciated by many housekeep-
ers.
If the gelatinc be soaked in cold
water for two or more hours, and then
have boiling water or milk poured on
it, it will dissolve immediately, and
rarely will have taste or odor. Here
is a good rule to follow:
Put box of gelatine in bowl, and
pour over it half pint of cold water.
Cover it and let it stand for two hours
or more. When ready to use it, add
half pint of boiling water or the
same quantity of boiling milk. Stix
for few minutes, and the gelatine
will be dissolved. York World

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For bread and pastry have an oven

is the result of the oven door being
banged when closed. Close the door

opens it gently enough.
