questions he told the following facts:

Cooking Cereals.

Water alone can be used for cooking
anv of the cereals, but most of them are
richerand finer favored when the liquid
used is milk and water, mixed in about
equal proportions, Especially is this
the case with barley, rice, hominy and
farina. The quantity Of salt that should
be used in cooking cereals is largely
matter of individual taste, as some peo-
ple like considerable, and others very
little salt in their food. A safe, general
rule, however, to follow is to add half n
teaspoonful of salt to each pint Of
liquid.
All cereals can be cooked very per-
fectly in an ordinary agate ware or por-
celain-lined stew pan, if carefully
watched and stirred; but as much STIR
ring renders cereals starchy, and rObs
them of a good deal Of their finest fla
vOrs, a double boiler, frequently called
farina boiler is much the best ana
most convenient utensil for cooking
mushes and grains of every kind. To
cook cereals in n double boiler: Fill the
outside boiler two-thirds full of boiling
water, put the necessary quantity Of
liquid in the inside kettle, add the re-
Quisite amount of salt, and, when it
/ boils, sprinkle in the grain or meal,

is one of the most delightful sugges-
tons that can be offered as an idea for
q church festival, writes Mrs. A. G..
Lewis in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Children from five to ten years Of age
should be chosen, and their costumes
ought to be suited both to the Colonial
period and to the characters assumed.
The costumes should be true in every
detail to the period represented If it is
not possible or practicable to hire cos
tunes, they may be all, even to the
wigs, designed and made without the
aid of a costumer. Patterns for each
garment required may be ordered by

CRUSOE'S ISLAND.
1t Is Now Inhabited and Possesses Little
Town,

1t Is Now Inhabited and Possesses a Little
Town.
1t is not generally known that Juan
Fernandez-the island on which Alex
ander SellSirk, the Robinson Crusoe Of
romance, lived so many years-is at
the present time inhabited Two val
leys, winding down from different di-
rections, join q short distance back
from the shore, and there now stands
little village of small huts scattered
round long one-storied building with
veranda running its whole length,
In this house lives the man who rents
the island from the CHILEAN Govern
ment, aad the village Is made up of a
few German and Chilian families
The tiny town is called San Juan Bau-
tista, and the crater-like m of the
sea on which it is situated, and where
Alexander Selkirk first landed, is now
called Cumberland Bay. The island
is rented for about e2y0 year The
rent is paid partly in dried fish.
Catching and drying the many varie-
ties of fish AMI raising cattle and veg
tables wholly occupy the conJented
settlers, AMI much of their little in
come is obtained from the cattle and
vegetables sold to passing vessels.
At the back Of the little town, in the
first high cliff, is a row of caves OF re-
markable appearance hewn into the
sandstone. An unused path leads to
them, and q short climb brings one to
their dark mouths. About forty years
ago the CHILEAN Government thought
that good way to get rid OF its worst
criminals would be to transport them
to the island of Juan Fernandez.
Here, under the direction of CHILEAN
soldiers, these poor wretches we're
made to dig caves to live in. In 1854
they were taken back again, however,
and the caves have since sbeen slowly
crumb ing away.
The narrow ridge where Selkirk
watched is now called "The Saddle"
because at either end of it a rocky
hummock rises like a pommel. On lone
of these is now large tablet with in
scriptons commemorating Alexander
Selkirk's long and lonely stay ON the
island 1t was placed there in 1865 by
the officers of the British ship Topaz.
A small excursion steamer now runs
from Valparaiso to Juan Fernandez
island. The round trip is made in six
days, and three of these may be spenl
on the island in fl hing and visiting
those lonely, but beautiful, spots which
near y 20 years ago were the haunts
Of Robinson Crusoe.

back. The second extends from the
middle of the back to the side, where
it buttons, and the third is the lap, ex
tending from the middle of the front
to the side. The best parts of old trpus-
ers or coats may be used for leggings
if one does not wish to purchase new
goods. The pieces left from cloaks ana
overcoats are also useful and make
harmonious suits. If the cloth is not
very thick, it is well to line them with
cotton flannel or other warm material.
There should be a strip of linen or drill
ing laid under the place both for but
tons and buttonholes, as the frequent
buttoning would otherwise soon tear
them out.

With arguments on everything
They'll rack their proud, progressive souls
To plunge us into mental holes,
And spank their babies at the polls,

When women vote, each man will find
A duplicate in wOmankind-
Their weaker sisters they will bluff"
And with hairpins and power puff
The ballot boxes they will stuff,

When women vote, this life will seem
One large nightmarish, fearful dream
Our modest wives will all grow rash,
Their politics with ours will clash,
And God knows who will cook our hash,
When women vote. '., ,

But specters of humanity;

A hungry, thirsty, desperate race
For we'll hare nothing left but space
