SWEET 'BERDAR."


Old sights are changed, there Is no doubt,
Still, al their glory Is not gone.
Some hooks and corners are found out
For poets eyes to dwell upon.
He who retirement seeks may yet
Some charming little spots secure,
Whereon the sun Of life may set
In splendour monarchs could endure.
The picturesque Is not destroyed,
Though marred In some respects. we
fear:
And ,pirits, by its charms decoyed,
Oft hither come from far and near
Romantic scenery abounds
As In the idle days of yore,
And here and there are lovely grounds,
Where one might bide for evermore.
Beauty and grandeur aye will dwell
Within the range of Aberdare
As long as men can feel and spell
Its wales and hills have everywhere.
Majestic oaks still spread their limbs,
Display the strength that men admire,
And when no cloud the cornfelds dims
They flame up with poetic fire!
Yea. truly Aberdare affords
To weary men a peaceful rest.
Rich groves wherein Dame Nature boards
Health-giving germs for every guest.

Perhaps the most wholesome way to
make rhubarb sauce Is thus: Cut rhu-
barb in pieces about an inch in length.
Wash them and put the. fruit into porce-
quart of cut fruit use one cup Of granu-
lated sugar, a small half cup of water,
and little grated orange or lemon peel
ing to suit the taste. Cover the dish with a
plate and bake in a slow oven from two
and half to three hours. The fruit
should remain whole and the sauce be a
fine color.
Another way of cooking rhubarb Is to
make rich syrup Of granulated sugar ana
little water. Cook in 1t a few straws cut
from the yellow part of orange peel. Cut
the rhubarb In two-inch lengths and drop
enough Of the pieces into the syrup at
one time to make a. single layer. Cook
them until they are clear and tender, then
drain out and place them In glass dish.
Repeat until all the rhubarb Is cooked.

and ''Tartuffe' of Moliere, "Attendez moi

of Regnard. and the "Trois Sultanes" Of
Favart. Together with the Odeon. which
has the same habit, the Coincide F'rancaise
each year gives a whole series OF pieces
of historical and literary value rather
than Of actual present-day interest. One
performance Of each Is often all that the
plan calls for. To students OF literature
and dramatic art they are invaluable
And no theater run exclusively for pri-
vate profit would dream Of undertaking
such a work. Indeed, it Is in details like
these that the merits of the great state
theater shine most brilliantly, and its
wisdom as an institution makes itself plain
even to the prejudiced.
Common as the practice is of staging an
old piece for single night, no new piece

dispelled by the reflection that it is the
