Just Reversed.

An old Irishwoman, who has received many
benefits at the hands of a benevolent minister
and his wife is so shftless that occasionally the
large-hearted couple lose all patience with her;
but she has such sense of humOr, and such be-
quilting tongue, that she never fails to amuse
them and finally to win them back.
At one time when money was given her to buy
warm underclOthing with. she wasted it upon a
large plush photograph album. The minister
spoke to her with considerable severity, as did
also his WIFE and for some time Bridget received
no calls from either OF them.
One afternoon, however, the minister relented
and stopped at Bridget's door on his way to see
a sick woman.
''Shure. and it's mesilf that dreamed about you
last noght, Misther Williams said Bridget,
with beaming SMILE 'Oidreamed that you and
Missus Williams came here to see me, and says
you How are you off for tay and coffee, Bridget?
and OF says It's niver drop of ayther Olive got
in the house, Misther Wilams' And thin you
PRESENTED me wild a pound of tay, and Missus
Williams wild pound of coffee on the shpot! Yis
sorr that was me dream.
''Well Bridget" said the minister, striving not
to smile, you know dreams are said to go by
contraries.'
'Shure. and that's fwhat Oh said to mesif.' eX
claimed Bridget, triumphantly. Said OF, N is
ther Williams is the wan that'ill be giving me the
coffee and Mjssus Williams the tdy! Thin was
my very thoughts, sOrr.'-EX.

Paret's Experience.

Bishop Paret tells good story, and at his own
expense, says the Baltimore american. AS it
happened, he was on a Washington train recent
", and was seated in the immediate vicinity of
couple of men who were rather ''under the
weather. as the saying is. Presently one of the
men, with a forcible eXpletive, remarked to the
other that some one had robbed him of a $40 bill.
His friend remarked: "Oh, l guess not; you
must have it about you somewhere But the
other insisted that he hadn't, and that he had
the bill when he came aboard the train. Some
one had robbed him, and he proposed to find it
if he had to search the whole crowd. LAS it
happened" says Bishop Paret, II had a 500 bill,
and that was all, and as | was the nearest man
to them. and the first likely to be approached, l
felt little uncomfortable. Then it occurred to
me to pretend to be asleep. Sure enough, in a
minute more was accosted with: Say, neigh
bort But made no answer. Then the man
grabbed my arm and shook me, but to no use, as
didn't wake up. He kept on shaking, how
ever, and always little more forcbly, until at
last his friend interposed with: L say Bill. let
him alone, will you; he's drunker'n you are!''

Discipline at Sea.

On the first Sunday after a mail steamship
left Liverpool for the Cape of Good Hope there
was the usual inspection of the crew by the cap
tain. and day or two after there was firedrill
followed by a call for manning the boats.
Routine performances" exclaimed a passen-
ger useful mainly for filling the pauses of
long voyage, and entertaining the passengers"
You will talk differently" replied an officer
'if any occasion arises for quick work from
disciplined crew.
The next night was dark, and the ship was
running at fourteen knots in smooth sea.
There was sailors concert on the quarterback,
and passengers officers and men were enjoying
the music heartily. One song was sung with so
much feeling that recall was vigorously de-
manded.
1t was not repeated. for while the handicap
ping was going on, a peculiar swish of the water
was heard followed by sharp cry, Man over
board!''
sailor sitting on the taffrai and applaudiDg
energetically had lost his balance and had fallen
headlOng into the sea.
| The captain and officers Sprang to their feet.
An order was given coOlly, and life-buoy with
rescue signal-light attached to it was thrown
overheard. In an instant the captain was on
the bridge signalling for stopping the engines.
| A life-boat was lowered and manned under
the charge of the chief officer. -Four minutes
after the first alarm the reScuers were on their
way to save their companion. Three minutes
afterward a second boat pushed Off on the same
errand.
The unfortunate sailor struggling in the water
a long way from the receding ship saw the faint
flash of the signal-light of the buoy and swan
out to it, but in catching hold of it he incautiOus
ly put out the light.
| The life-bOats moving over the dark waters
were far away, and there was no light to guide
them to him. But the officers knew what to do
They kept the two boats wide apart and watched
for the buoy occasionally shouting the sailor:
name At last one of the crews heard faint
answering cry.
Then the stroke was quickened, every maj
putting his heart into the work. The call wa
repeated and again answered. The officer steer
ing by the sound of the voice at last approached
the life-buoy, and rescued the sailor.
When the boats returned to the ship and re
ported that the man was safe, passengers ant
crew cheered Justify. Well they might, for it wa
brave and intelligent work!
1t was the perfection of discipline at sea
} When the alarm was raised there was neithe
excitement nor confusion among the sailors
The officers gave their orders quietly, and tn
men were in their places ready to obey withOu
hesitation. Not minute was lost. No mistak
; was made. Every man was trained for rapi
work in an emergency. Without systemati
discipline there would, of course, have been a.
attempt at rescue, but the probability of its SUI
cess would have been greatly lessened.-Youth

Thirty-three members responded at roll-call at
the meeting of the circle last Sunday. The Rev
erend Critic not being present a member of Glass
d was appointed critic pro tenn, which duty was
performed in an impartial and satisfactory
manner. Owing to the departure of the pres-
dent on parole in the near future, an election to
fill that important position was held, the honor
going to a member of class without opposition.
On the announcement of the vice-president, who
is also the Chautauqua poet, that he would sing
the sweet song of liberty before another meet
ing of the circle was held, it was moved and car
ried that an election be held to fill the position,
and again class was hOnored by selection of
one of its members, after which the meeting
terminated.

Once at a meeting in connection with the UNI
versity College, London, Palmerston took the
chair. He was not at home in this learned body,
and was evidently anxious to adapt his remarks
to the occasion. SO he began: 1t has been
said that little learning is a dangerous thing
ahem!-s dangerous thing but it is better
than-better than-better than Here his
lordship came to dead stop. Lord Rrougham
sat next to Palmerston. In low tone, but III
his penetrating, squeaky voice, he came to the
speakers rescue. Better than a great deal
of ignorance he suggested. This OF course
brought down the house; and during the laugh
ter that followed, Lord Palmerston recovered
the thread of his discourse and finished bril-
liantly.-ArgOnaut.

The New York San says the worlds supply of
sticky fy-paper comes from Grand Rapids,
Michigan. Four brothers are engaged there.
They employ 600 people, virtually keeping them
under lock and key. The sticky preparation is
prepared by the brothers personally. No copy
right or patent covers it or any portion of the
machinery used in making it, as by having il
patented would reveal to the government the in
gradients contained in it. Four large two story
buildings are used for factory. They are en-
closed by high board fence and watched over
by guards so as to prevent anyone from visiting
them. They ship the paper to all parts Of the
world turning it out at the rate of $4,000 sheets
day from each machine used.

1t is now being claimed that one-third OF the
children of one of the principal grammar-schools
of Chicago have never seen a live sheep or hog,
though all had seen lions, tigers, and other ami
mails of the tropics. The matter has been taken
up by the press on the belief that the same ratio
of children throughout the city have never seen
live sheep or hogs, and the park commissioners
will be requested to place specimens of these an
imals in the geological departments of the parks
1t is highly probable that, when the children
come face to face with that strange animal
known as the hog, they will remember that they
have seen many of him, dressed in male attire

ICED PuDDINGS.
Something Good TO Eat and Easy 30
Make.

MAKE.
1t is pity that more cooks do not un-
derstand the preparation of the many
delicious iced buildings which French
artists of the kitchen make from rice
and from nuts. The iced rice pudding
is most delicious, made as a simple rice
custard, frozen and served with pre-
served fruits. Boil a scant teacup of
nice Carolina rice in a double boiler
with quart of milk, half cup of sugar
and half a teaspoonful of salt. When
the rice is soft take it up and stir in the
yolks of four eggs. Return the pud-
ding to the fire and beat it hard for two
or three minutes. Add pint of rich
cream, and, when the pudding is cold,
two tablespoonfuls of maraschho or
some sherry, or, if you prefer it, a table
spoonful of orange extract. Freeze the
pudding and serve it on base of golden
orange jelly or with sweet preserved
oranges or ounces heaped over it. 1t
Is also nice served on low crystal plat
ter with a. wreath of whipped cream,
tinted pink with preserved strawberry
or raspberry juice.
All tSlSSleilIy VI "d) ~
serve this pudding is in a coating of
water ice. Apricots make one of the
most delicious ices for this purpose.
Slice ~ apricots, or use the same
amount of canned fruit. Add half a
pound of sugar to the apricots and
squeeze in the juice of two lemons. Mix
them well. Strain the whole through
sieve. Add half pint of sirup made
by boiling half cup of sugar rapidly
for 90 minutes in half a cup of water.
Stir the water and sugar so that the
sugar is dissolved before the boiling
point is reached. Mix the sirup and
fruit juice. Freeze the apricot ice, and
line a mold, imbedded in salt and ice,
with this apricot water ice. Press it
on the sides and fill the cavity IN tie
center with the iced rice pudding. Cover
the mold and seal it up Theoretically,
rubbing butter thickly around the edges
of the cover, so that the salt and ice
cannot penetrate within. Cover the
mold with ice and salt, pack newspa-
pers around it, and tie them over it TO
prevent the water penetrating to the
packing. Leave it for four hours or
longer; then uncover it, turn it out on
n low glass platter and decorate il with
a wreath of whipped cream favored to
suit the taste.-N. Y. Tribune.
