RosAMOND THE IDLE.

Miss Rosamond May was so idle, they say,
That her wise fairy godmother took her
To regions of fairy-land, cloudy and gray;
And there she must stay for year and day,
Or still longer, fear,
TIL she does all things that she didn't do
herel
All the stints and the chores that she thought
such bores
The running of errands to market and stores.
The making of beds and the sweeping OF
floors,
The tending Of doors and the lessons III
scores
All, the poor little Missi
How long it will take her to finish all this!

IN A GARDEN.

IVY.
Upon the walls the graceful IVY climbs,
And wraps with green the ancient ruin gray;
Romance it is, and these Crisp leaves her
rhymes
Writ on the granite page OF yesterday.
ROSE.
Screening her face Of loneliness behind
The gardens leafy curtain, waits the Rose
For the enamored nightingale to find
A lyric hidden in his book of prose.
PANSY.
Amid the grass one purple Pansy caught.
Looks up with gentle, gracious eyes that
seem
To hold the beauty of some fragrant thought
of summer, and the glory of her dream.
GRASS
Here is the cloth wherein the dew and sun
Fash on their bright embroideries of bloom;
For dreams pillow, and when dreams are
done,
A fragrant cover for the dreamless tomb.

OYSTERS TO TEMPT ANY PALATE.
All Are Delicious, Whether Cooked

Range

i'm the Chatting Dish or on the
Range.
Those fortunate in living near the
coast may eat oysters at almost every
season, but the oyster lovers at dis
lance watch eagerly for the cool Sep
tember days to crafty the palate with
this succulent bivalve. Many new
methods are now known for preparing
this favorite shell fish besides the usual
stew, broil and fry. One thing should
always be remembered; too much cook
Ing toughens and spoils an oyster.
n prevailing way of serving this de-
llclous sea food for a first course is in
oyster cocktails. A small oyster is used
Tor the purpose, five or six being the
number desired for each person. For
half dozen plates mix together three
teaspoonfuls each of vinegar, grated
horseradish, and tomato catsup, six
teaspoonfuls of lemon juice and one
OF Tobasco sauce. Have the oysters
very cold and place them in glasses.
Put an equal amount of the prepared
sauce into each glass over the oysters
and serve. The glass should be placed
upon plate and served with both an
oyster fork and q small spoon. Ice
dishes may be made for serving cock
tails Put upon handsome plate, they
make an attractive and unusual dish
being looked at closely to determine If
they are made of glass; Those ice
shells may be made at home by filing
large scalloped patty tins with waiter
and putting them in packed ice-cream
freezer and letting them remain until
the water becomes solid Before re-
moving the ice from the tins take a hot
IRON poker and melt out the center of
the ice, making the space large enough

brown bread are served with raw oy-
ster cocktails
A celebrated Baltimore dish is ovs-
ters baked In a loaf of bread. Bake a
long, thin loaf for the purpose or pur-
chase a stale Vienna loaf. Cut a deem
slice from the top and with a sDoon

all around. Fill this box with ovs-
tiers, seasoning them with salt and men

the filled loaf in a biscuit tin and nonr
over the loaf two spoonfuls of the oys-

oven and bake from twenty to twenty
five minutes, putting some Of the ovs-
ter liquor over the loaf from time ~

rolls may be used in place of a loaf
serving one roll to each person. A ~

In place of tomato catsup. This makes
an excellent winter dish for SUNDAY

BICYCLE SONG.

Light upon the pedal,
Firm upon the seat
Fortunes wheel in letters
Fast beneath our feet.
Leave the clouds behind US,
Split the wind we meet,
Swift, oh, swift and silent,
Rolling down the street!
When the dark comes, twinkling
Like drefies in the wheat
Bells before US tinkling
FAIRLY and feat,
BY the gate of gardens,
Where the dusk is sweet,
Slide the apparitions
Through the startled street!
Spearmen in the desert
Maybe fly as fleet,
Northern lights in heaven,
Sparkles on the sleet!
Swift, OH swift and silent,
Just before we greet
The outer edge Of nothing
Turn rolling up the street.

NAY, ASK NO vow.

Nay, ask no VOW, dear heart! Too lightly
slips
The word forever from our careless
lips.
We pledge eternity-who in one day,
Forgotten silenced, mingle clay with
clay!
How do you know your eyes Will always
shine
With that glad welcome when they meet
with mine?
How dare say this heart for aye Will
To answer yours-knowing its frallty
well?
Today sees plighted troth and claspng
hands:
Tomorrow, shattered faith and broken
bands.
Oh. pitiful for mortal lips to swear!
More fitting this: unceasing fervent prayer
That our loves flower. escaping frost and
blight,
May bloom immortal, as we hope to-
night!

YAGRANT VERSE.
THE CORN-sTALKs.

Did you ever chance to see them,
All those gentlefolk of corn
Who bow from morn till evening
And from evening until morn?
How they bow and bend and curtsy
With the music of the breeze,
Which whistles all their tunes to them,
And rustles in the trees!
How polite they are and stately
AS they bend and dip so low,
Like ladies In the minUets
OF long and long ago.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

It is sometimes useful to know that tea
spoonful of cornstarch is equal to one egg,
and may be substituted in case OF a scarcity
of eggs for part of the eggs in custards or
other dishes where milk and eggs are caiied
for.
Among the new silver table accessories is
dish for nuts 1t is quite shallow, and the
irregular edge is finished with perforated
border an inch in depth. graceful little
squirrel Is perched at one side, nioDhng at a
nut which he holds between his paws.
Ginger beer is wholesome summer drink
and good to keep at hand. The following re-
cine is easily carried out and very satisfac-
tory: For two gallons of water allow two
pounds of granulated sugar, two ounces of
pulverized ginger, and one lemon. Slice the
lemon thin, place it in large dish with the
other ingredients and pour the boiling water
over them. When the water becomes luke
warm add quarter of a yeast cake dissolved
in little water and bottle, fastening down
the corks. 1t will be ready for use the second
day, but it is better when older.
Linoleum is a good substitute where thing
is not to be had. Floors covered with it are
easily brushed up or wiped off. strip Of
linoleum thirty-six inches deep put above
the Dashboard in a kitchen, and finished at
the top with narrow moulding, is better
than wood wainscoting.
Always remember in making cakes or pud-
dings with fruit In them that If little flour is
sprinkled over the fruit just before stirring it
into the latter it will prevent the fruit from
settling to the bottom
In camping or where one does not wish to
take extra bedding along, warm covering
may be made by basting together three thick
nesses of newspaper and putting 1t under the
spread. 1t is very warm and light, and may
be thrown away when not needed.
Denim coverings excellent for nursery
floors. as they are easily brushed. and rugs
look well upon them. Double carpet lining
should be used under the denim to give the
proper warmth for cold weather.
medium-sized paper pad with lead PEN
ell attached hung over kitchen table will be
found of great convenience. II articles needed
are written down upon this pad they will not
be overlooked. When the housewife starts for
market the outside slip can be pulled off and
taken with her instead of her trusting to her
memory, with the danger of forgetting some
simple but most important article.
Do not put fruit Jars into a closet where
the silver is kept The rubber bands upon the
jars will affect the silver and make 1T tarnish
quickly.
little kerosene oil is excellent for cleaning
zinc bath tub. Rub the oil on with wool
en- cloth, then wash it off with hot water and
polish with powdered bath brick. The result
Is very satisfactory.
