Nev Bread Pudding Recipe.

A new recipe for bread pudding is one
worth adding to the housekeepers note
book. Soak one pint Of fine crumbs in
a pint of milk until soft, add three ta-
blespoonfuls of cocoa dissolved in lit
tie water, three well-beaten eggs, a
half-cupful of granulated sugar, and
another pint of milk. Set the pudding
dish in a pan of hot water and bake
one hour. Whipped cream favored
with vanilla is very good with this
pudding, or sauce made from scans
cupful of sugar, tablespoonful OF corn
starch and cupful of water may DO
used. Cook the ingredients in double
boiler ten minutes, and just before serv'
ing add an ounce of butter and half-tea-
spoonful of vanilla.-St. Louis Republic.

Cows Strange Affection.

This is told of very peculiar milch
COW. She is just an ordinary black
COW, but is so much attached to her
owners children that she does not like
to be separated from them. If the
children are at home, the COW will stay
in a pasture with fence three feet
high; but if the children are taken
awav she will throw down even very
high fences in order to follow them.
At different times when the cow would
be in the pasture, the owner has
slipped the children away from home,
but when she came up and missed them
she would get out and track them as a
dog would until she found them, when
she would follow wherever they went,

THE FUNNY DUCKBILL
I Queer Creature Which Lays Eggs, Give
Milk and Wears Fur.

Queer Creature Which Lays Eggs, Gives
Milk and Wears Fur.
'My friend Harding was somewhat
famous for the extraordinary nature Of
his pets" said an English traveller. He
had beetle that stood upon its head
when touched; lizard that came when
called, and his den was q perfect men
agerie Of animals he had collected in
his trips around the world.
During one Of my visits to his home
heard a singular scratching sound be-
hind my chair, and in few moments
something crawled up over the back,
and saw looking at me the queerest of
all animals.
Had it not been covered with hair
like sealskin, should have said it was
duck, as it had perfect bill and two
dark, expressive, bead-like eyes, which
looked into mine as though they Won
dered who and what was.
The little creature scrambled on and
took it in my hand, and for the first
time saw duckbill, or ornithorhyn-
chus, as pet. The missing link is often
heard of, and surely this little animal
suggests such creature.
"If some ingenious person had taken
the head of duck. the frame of some
| other animal and drawn over it skin
of seal, then given it webbed feet and
! characteristics of reptile and nam
| NAL, he would have produced very much
the kind of animal that now rested on
my lap and poked Its duck-like bill into
my pocket.
at had the bills Of duck, yet they
contained eight broad, fiat, horny teeth
The body was covered with hair; the
forefeet webbed beyond the claws, the
hinder ones only to their base.

ling that Of a rooster, just such an ami
NAL, in fact, that one would expect K
read about in old books that described
the kracken, mermaid and other mon
strosities believed in by the naturalist:
of old.
"The little pet was perfectly tame
and did not resent my handling In tht
least. 1t seemed possessed with th'
greatest curiosity, pushing it's bill int
the crevices of my clothes and staring
about as though in search of some
thing.

fter, laughing at my amazement. :.

THE GIRL OF THIRTEEN.
Unless She Has Good Care She viii Make
Forlorn Woman.

Unless She Has Good Care She Will Make
Forlorn Woman.
The girl Of thirteen is the future
woman and a very important parcel OF
humanity, says the New York Sunday
Advertiser. She is child and just
growing into womanhood, and this
transition which, to grown-ups, means
only sudden shooting up beyond all
bounds and a tendency to stopped
shoulders, is much more to the girl who
leaves childhood behind and Is not yet
a young lady. Fast growing is very
great drain on any childs strength,
and as at thirteen she usually has con-
siderable work at school, both mind
and body are called upon TO do double
work. That is why she needs care.
! Good food, rest and congenial COM
pany are some of the things which are
necessary for the girl of thirteen. She
should not have too much excitement,
thoughts too much, as her mind de-
velops only too quickly at this age, and
everyday life and lessons are enough
to occupy her. She should go to bed
early and sleep ten hours. For break
fast she should eat strengthening,
bone-making food, oatmeal, oranges,
brown bread, eggs and milk. For her
midday meal she should have some-
thing more sustaining than bread.
and butter lunch, if she is to grow' up
into strong woman. Hot soup and .
chop and a baked potato every day
for three months will make her stand
up straighter than braces will. !
She should have walk in the open
air every day; if she does not get this
she will grow nervous and sleepless,
have fantastic notions about an early
grave and running away from home,
or, worse still, grow sentimental and
write morbid little verses and weep
over the poor. These are all true
symptoms of the girl Of thirteen. She
begins to think she is very old as soon
as she gets into her teens, and the re-
sponsibilities affect her sensitive new
mind to an appalling degree-if she Is
given the time to think of them.

gether. Now, those girls are too in
tent on keeping the pace the young
men set to get into mischief. They are
going to get to Claremont in the fifty
minutes time limit, and the girl who
keeps up best with the boys is the
favorite. They don't dismount except
for few moments before returning.
It is the athletic spirit again, and all
very favorable to the release of the
chaperon from many of her duties.
Such thing wouldn't have been heard
of five or six years ago, where we were
ultra English. Then a chaperon was
indispensable, and the proudest boast
of society mother was that her daugh-
ter had never been left alone moment

handed over to some young man ct

last trip. l had heard of them before l
went to Australia, and when reached
there determined to 60 up the coun-
try and see them.
"'Finally I secured q number of ma
tives and set out. The men called the
animal the mulligong, and said that 1t
was very difficult to find, and very hard
work, which l found to be true.
"'The natives provided themselves
with long, pointed sticks, and when we
reached the borders of little stream
they began to thrust them into the
soft soil and work them up and down,
much as one does in feeling for turtle
eggs.
"'This we kept up for several hours,
when finally one of the natives said he
had struck nest, and going down
near the water they began to dig, in a
short time uncovered a tunnel or bur
row that led up out Of It, This was
| carefully followed for ten or fifteen
feet, when they came upon chamber
in which, coiled up, was mulligong OF

"'To my delight near 1t was the
nest, and in it two little oblong eggs
that reminded me of the cocoons of q
silk worm.
| "'This was the most interesting fea
ture of the expedition, as the eggs were
rarely ever found, and, think of it, al
animal giving milk, yet laying an egi
like reptile!
THE eggs had evidently just beer
laid, and were about three-quarters O

tillate a new idea If her brains were
properly rubbed. Her white crepon
dinner gown, touched up with cool,
green velvet and Valenciennes lace,
was faultless, and harmonized with the
youthful face under it's pompadour
frame of prematurely white hair. She
had been congratulated on the over
whelming success of her last charity
project, and not q care disturbed her
serenity. Everybody knows that this
woman, with her unassailable position
due to birth, wealth and natural lead
ership, can afford to point a new way
even If a hundred other women have
not discovered the possibility of leaving
the old one.
Bicycling was the subject. In the
midst Of a breezy description of the
possible appearance of certain society
women as chaperons aboard bicycles
the hostess flung her little bomb.
Didn't you know that chaperons
are not insisted on now for girls who
bicycle?'
A couple Of elderly dinner guests who
had returned to the drawing-room in
time to catch the question looked
amused, and the satirical one Of the pair
smiled an appropriate smile as she said:
"Ah! no doubt the bicycle will be
very popular in that case"
The hostess laughed.
"That expresses it, and, of course,
you will try wheel at once. 1t seems
ridiculous to think of the bicycle hav-

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE ChAPERONS DOWNFALL

How the Bicycle Has Inaugurated an In
rerestinR Revolution.
The bicycle has new function. 1t
Is relegating the chaperon to her
proper sphere. 1t is not good-by nor a
long farewell to the dowagers on duty.
They will wag as long as society
swings. But in the last year there has
been a tightening of the fetters that
fasten a society girl to her chaperon's
side, and this, too, in the innermost
circles, the approval of which makes a
custom good form.
This is how the change was described
by one of the moving spirits in the po-
tential clique of New York's most de-
sirable society.
