A robin sang;

Cast off its robe of winter sadness;
The leaves from bondage gan to peep,
The brooks o'erfowed in jolly madness
All nature listened to the warning,
All laughed with glee in springtime's morn.

A poet sang;
1t was a song that reached the heart
OF many q man, of every woman,
1t was the fruit of perfect art,
1t showed power divinely human,
His name was known to all and then
Fame on her tablets wrote it, when
The poet sang.
A mother sang;
Two little eyelids blinked and dropped.
And bright curls nestled on her breast,
Contentment's bounty richly trooped;
Sweet innocence found loving rest.
The slumber fairies tiptoed near,
And all the angels stopped to hear
When mother sang.

TO COOK CORNMEAL.
When Properly Prepared 1t Is n Health,
Article of Food.

When Properly Prepared 1t Is n Healthy
Article of Food.
Women have always been more or
less willing to show their skill in maxi
.ng cake and fancy desserts, but it is
only recently that they have appreci-
ated the value of good cookery. The
simple, everyday things are usually
considered of the least Importance, and
entirely neglected. Even the cook
books give little, and some no informa-
ton, about the things everybody should
know. Among these is cornmeal. When
il is properly prepared ii is a healthy
article of food. But as it is often cooked
it is indgestible and unfit for even q
strong stomach. The usual way of
making cornmeal mush, for instance
is to stir the meal, without measuring
it, into boiling water until it is thick.
and when it has cooked five or ten min
utes it is done. BY this process it IS
hard and raw, and wholly unfit to eat
1t is surprising how much it is improved
by little extra cooking, and it can be
made Il delicacy with very little trouble.
Take one quart of water, add one
teaspoon of salt. When it boils stir III
slowly one cup of yellow cornmeal. Let
it boil for ten minutes, then set it back
on the stove, where it will cook slowly
and not burn, for one hour, stirring
occasionally. Pour into a mold and
let stand over night. In the morning
it will be firm enough to slice well, and
when it is dipped in grated bread
crumbs and quickly fried it will be a
pleasant surprise to those who have
been accustomed to eating it the old
fashioned way.
Corn-bread, or "Johnny cake" as it
is often called, is greatly improved by
the following directions:
Put the milk that the recipe calls for
on the stove, and when ii is hot stir in
the cornmeal and let it cook for ten or
Is minutes. An easy way to prevent it
from burning is to set the dish on ar
asbestos pad. This extra cooking re-
moves the raw taste of the meal. and
greatly improves the flavor of the
bread, besides making it entirely d.
gestible.-Chicago Tribune

THE BLOUSE WAIST.

Although writer's, importers and
modistes have condemned the blouse

recent high class dress exhibits it was
one of the decided features of the ele-
CANT and wonderful display. Fitted
and draped blouses in silk. satin, chif-
fon, lace, Indian muslin, velvet and
brocade were ,ariously shown. The
blouse, once chiefly recommended for
its economy, is now costly confection.
Once it was merely and strictly used
for neglige costumes, row it appears at
the most fashionable evening functions,
worn by the most fastidious, and made
of the most expensive textiles; and
granted that it's vogue in this domain
will be short and that the blouse has
really become too general TO be elected
for by the very particular ones of So

WONDERFUL TRESSES.
San Francisco Lady Who Has Over Six
Feet of Hair.


Feet of Hair.
Mrs. d. j. Davis, Of San Francisco,
Cal, has the longest hair in the world.
1t clusters in great mass about her
head, and though she is tall woman,
being five feet nine inches in height,
l,er long tresses, when uncoiled, sweep
upon the ground for nearly foot. Her
hair is just six feet and eight incncs
in length.
Mrs. Davis comes of family remark
able alike for their height and the
length of their hair. Though Mrs. Davis
is five feet and nine inches in height,
she is shorter by nearly an inch than
either of her three sisters. But while
they have the advantage in height, they
cannot equal her in the matter of hair,
Notwithstanding that all three have
curls over yard and half long. Not
the least remarkable part of this won
derful hirsute development is that
while all three of Mrs. Davis sisters had
long hair from early childhood, the
young lady herself could never induce
so that it is only within the past years
that they have developed such ten
ency to eclipse Paderewski's shaggy
name.
But it is not surprising that Mrs.
Davis and her sisters should have such
n "crowning glory" to boast of, for the
mother of this interesting family had
hair that dangled five feet from the
crown of her head. Mrs. Davis seems to
have lived all her life among long-haired
people, for her sister-in-aw, with whom
she now resides at the Union hotel
in the Potrero, has over four feet of
hair, and her niece, a little girl scarcely
three years old, has braid 21 inches in
length, which she succeeds daily in
tangling badly, and for which she as
regularly does penance when the comb
is applied.

Davis, as she removed those long coral

COZY CORNER SEAT.
How tho Home May BE Beautified at
Trining Expense.

There need be no ugly, uncomfort-
able corner in any room when such
a cozy seat as the one illustrated can
be constructed. A few boards and some
pretty denim is all that is necessary.
Why not construct such a corner when
the house is cleaned? a broad seat
rests on wedges nailed to the walls, not
more than Ii inches from the floor. 1t
can be finished in front by prettily
carved or decorated board painted to
harmoniZe with the other woodwork,
or curtain or valance may be shirred
across and tucked with brass-headed
tacks and will look equally as pretty.
The seat, as can he seen, does not
reach back into the corner and the
board forming the back extends about
two feet or more above the seat. The
top makes an excellent place for the
display of a handsome vase or orna.
