japanese Story of Its Influence on a
NiOtherless Girl.

- Oopo1O1D CbOKy Va HIS AHuuehCO On a
Motherless Girl.
At Y. NJ. G.. A. hall Yeataso Okano.
japanese, told the following story to
largo audience:
"Once upon a time there lived in q
little hamlet in Japan young couple.
They had one child-a beautiful little
girl whom both loved very dearly. It
came to pass while the child was still a
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take long journey to the far distant
city. 1t was too far for him to take his
wife and CHILD, so he left them at home
and travelled alone.
In that great city he saw many new
things which, having lived in the peace
full little hamlet up among the noun
tains all his life, he had never seen be-
fore. He desired to take home to his
wife some of these new things which
seemed to him so wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift he could take, it
seemed to him, was mirror. He wish
ed to take home to his wife the pleasure
and surprise he had experienced when
he first looked into mirror So he took
one home to his wife.
when he arrived home he gave the
present to his wife, and for the first
time she looked into mirror. What
do you see% her husband asked. She
replied: I declare! see a very pretty
woman. She wears her hair just as do
mine, and she smiles and moves her
lips as if she were talking to me. Her
husband told her that the mirror was Il
present for her, and he hoped she would
use it every day. But the wife thought
It far too beautiful and rare and costly
a gift to use every day, so she put it
carefully away and never spoke about it
to the little daughter, who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother ev-
cry day.
'By and by great misfortune fell
upon that little household The wife
and mother fell sick, and it was soon
evident that she must die. AS she lay
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
was going to lose her mother forever
She could point to no future life after
death in which they should be reunited,
but i'll the love and simplicity of her
heart she did the best she could She
told her little daughter about the won
derful mirror. After 1 am dead, she
said, take down that box and look into
the mirror that it contains. There you
will see my face. And want you to
look into the mirror every day, that you
may never forget your mother, and that
you may grow like me more and more
every day.
$50 the mother died. Tic little girl
did as she had been told, and in the
wonderful mirror she thought she saw
her mothers face, young and beautiful
not as she had seen her, pale and i'll
as she lay dying, but fair and fresh as
she had looked before t e fatal illness.
And the little girl looked into the mir
ror every day and thought of her moth
er and her many lovely ways, and so it
came about that she grew to be more
and more like her mother as the years
went by. Rochester Post Express.

Useful Recipes.

IOACHED IN M1Lk.-ine lnSIpld
character of the ordinary poached
egg is entirely changed by serving
them with cream sauce after
poaching in milk, or with a brown
sauce after poaching in gravy.
FRIED.-A wrinkle in frying
eggs is to cook in ham or bacon
drippings to the required degree,
lay on a hot dish, pour from the
pan all the fat except a tablespoon
full, add to this a chopped cucum-
Der pickle, boil up for a minute and
pour over the eggs.
CAYENNE CHEEsES.- These will
crafty the palate of those who
enjoy hot spicy foods. They are
very simply made. Rub into
pound of flour quarter of pound
OF butter, and half a pound of
strong grated cheese. Add salt ac-
cording to age and strength of
cheese, and half teaspoonful of
cayenne pepper. Moisten with suf-
ficient water to make a paste, roll
out and cut into strips about four
inches long and half as wide. Bake
in quick oven for ten or fifteen
minutes and serve very hot.
EGG SOUP.-Peel, wash and slice
very thin two carrots, one small
turnip, an onion and three stalks
of celery; fry in tablespoonful of
butter Oh dripping until of a yellow
color; put in saucepan with three
pints of water and a seasoning of
salt, pepper and one small lump of
sugar; cook slowly for two hours
and press through sieve. Return
to the fire while you thicken it with
a tablespoonful of flour wet with
cold water and poach in a pint of
boiling milk an egg for each person;
lay these in the tureen, add the
milk to the soup and pour all over
the eggs.
FREMONT ING.-Take nice,
tart apples stewed and strained and
sweetened well and favored with
lemon juice. Place in baking
dish to the depth of an inch. Pour
over custard made with one pint
of milk, the yolks of five eggs and
sweetened well with granulated
sugar. Bake until the custard is
done and spread over the top the
whites of eggs whipped to a stiff
froth and sweetened with one half
pound of powdered sugar by
gradually beating it in and adding
two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice.
Place in the oven long enough to
harden without browning. TO be
eaten cold.
FRICAsSEE OF SWEETBREADs.- II
Carefully remove all the tough and
fibrOus skins. Put them in dish
of cold water for 10 or Is minutes,
and they are then ready to be boiled.
They must always be boiled 20
minutes, no matter what the method
of cooking may be. Take two good
sized sweetbreads, and after they
have been cleaned, place them in a
stewpan with Il pint of broth and a
teaspoonful of salt and white
pepper, four small onions and a
blade of mace; add two ounces of
butter rubbed smooth with one tea !
spoonful of flour. Simmer all to.
gether for half an hour. Beat up
the yolks of three eggs in half
pint of cream, and CRATE into it one
fourth of a nutmeg. Add this
gradually to the contents of the
stewpan, and cook few minutes,
and shake all the time while the
mixture is cooking. Remove the
onions and mace. Serve sweet.
breads with the sauce around them.

Obi TrIlby, TriIby.

A new epidemic has suddenly
made its appearance in this coun.
try, which bids fair to outrival
the grip itself we refer TO the
alispreyalent Tribly craze. just
how or why Trilby has taken
such hold upon us is one of those
mysteries which will never be
rightly understood. The para
doxical character OF DR. Mauriers
heroine is certainly not one to
recommend itself to any refined
and thinking mind; that she
could bemodesta and virtuous (for
so the story goes) without pass.
ing either of these attributes is
certainly a hard thing TO explain.
But nevertheless there is no de-
uying the fact that society has
gone Trilby mad-what with
Trilby parties, dinners. supper.
and breakfasts. Trilby on the
stage ON the street-in. the
home; Trilby hands, feet, eyes.
etc, lit is hard to say when the
end will come; every young lady
with any pr4tensfons to voice is
singing the revived and reiuven.

The oft recurring question,
"Have you read Trilby" almost
equals in its power to exasper-
ate the old and time honored As
it hot enough for YOU" and we
can see in the very near future
the propounderof this question
will meet with speedy annihila.

SLOWLY SINKING.
The Atlantic Coast Dropping Into the
Ocean.

Slowly, but surely, and with
that stealthiness which is hardly
preceptible, the whole Atlantic
Coast. except a small portion OF
il in the vicinity of Hampton
Roads, is sinking into the A.lant-
ic Ocean. This fact has been
known for years TO the light
house keepers, and to others
whose business makes them close
observers /, I photographic phe-
nomena. but during the past
three or four seasons it has been
SO pronounced as to cause com.
ment even among lasmen. On
Long Island, and on the shores
surrounding New York Harbor
in general, as well as at Boston
aud Rye Beach. N. a., the in
vading surf annually carries
away the oulposts of defense set
up against it, even though each
year they are moved further i'm

Hook and Staten Island whole
settlements have been abandoned
on account it is said Of .he
invasion of the waves, and
where. not more than % years
ago. were streets and houses
there is now deep water and
oyster beds.
Along the coasts of Delaware
and Maryland the phenomena is
still more noticeable. and the same
may be said of the Carulinas.
Georgia and Florida. Piers err

La Gascogne's Trip.

The arrival of La Gascogne,
the French liner, nine days over
due, relieves the universal anx-
iety about her safety. which has
been felt for several days.
Though hope had not been
given up, grave fears prevailed
that the big steamer had fallen
victim to the rough weather.
aud many anxious hearts were
relieved when the announce.
ment came that she had arrived
at Fire Island. AS was pre-
dicted by the authorities in ship
ping circles, the delay was due
principally TO Gu accident to the
steering gear of the vessel,
The experience of the passen-
gers was. of course, thrilling,
and it is safe to presume that
there were many on board who
resolved, during the trying days
of the struggle with the storm
swept ocean, that if they were
spared to reach land. this would
be their last sea voyage. The
trip, under the circumstances.
was a triumph in its way; aud
| its safe ending a cause for re.
ioiciny.
