How to Pronounce Pskins.

It is very singular thing that 50 few
persons know how to spell or pro-
nounce the name of a Chinese city
which we all spell and pronounce SO
many times over, especially since all
Chinese affairs have become OF more
consequence to us in the last year.
That city of Peking. No one. except
some person who has lived in China, or
who has been told by some one who has
lived there, ever calls it anything but
Pekin Even the Biographies make the
same mistake Yet it is as incorrect TO
omit the ''g" as it would be to leave on
the "k' in New York. 1t should he pro-
nounced with the accent on the latter
syllable, instead OF, as most people give
it. on the first.-Golden lays.

A CALF IN THE ROAD.

It's Disastrous Eject Upon Cossting
Whoelwoman.
A calf, bicycle and the young lady
were the principal actors in a little
comedy few days since, the scene OF
which was laid in the vicinity of New
York Mills.
The young lady and the wheel were
bowling merrily along one afternoon
when they came to the top OF hill.
which offered fine opportunity for
coast Accordingly, the young lady's
feet went up on the rests and the wheel
started for an untrammeled cruise
down the incline. The coast was clear
with the exception Of calf standing
inoffensively in the road about half
way down the hill.
Had it been q mouse, In all proba'
bility the fair cyclist would have at
once dismounted and gone around by
another route or stopped into some
house for assistance, but being only q
harmless calf that would in all proba-
bility make room at once at the ap-
proach of the young lady and her wheel
the latter kept steadily on.
The calf, however, apparently had
different views concerning the right OF
way and calmly stood his ground. The
wheel had now gained quite an impetus,
and despite the frantic efforts OF its
rider it struck the astonished calf with
! q vim, and in some unaccountable man

hands and knees, with her head be

GOOD BREAKFAST DISHES. y

A List Of Delightful Recipes for the

It is your horre woman with a prac~
tical knowledge of th~ advar+a-Hs OF

first meal OF tie Cay should be
nutritious one. The breakfasts should
be well cooked, the dishes appctizing

For all well-appointed breakfasts

Apples cooked in this manner as q

hours in sugar moistened with brandy
and lemon juice. Drain from this and
fry to a. clear brown in butter, sprinkle
we'll with powdered sugar and cinua-
mon; then serve.
It is to the southern housekeepcr
that we owe the cooking Of hot breads
in all their perfection. To make what
is called pone, upon one quart of white
cornmeal pour just enough boiling wa
ter to scald it through. After stirring
it thoroughly. let it stand until cold;
rub into it a piece of butter about the
size of = small egg and add a aittie
salt. Beat two eggs until light, with
out separating, add them to the I1eas,
mix well, add one pint of sour milk or
| buttermilk, beat until smooth. Dis
solve one teaspoonful OF soda in
tablespoonful of boiling water, stir

| ing pan and bake in a quick oven for
35 minutes. This is fne corn bread

Baked eggs as delicacy for the early
meal is unsurpassed. In e good hot
oven on a stoneware platter melt a
large lump of butter. When thor
oughly softened shake 1t oil over the
dish in order to grease it we'll. On
this hot butter drop six fresh eggs as
if for poaching. Whea the whites are
set they are done. This should be
served with long and narrow pieces OF
toast without crust, which viii act as a
garnish for the edge of the dish.
Boston can boast of fine brown
bread, and equally SO the Boston brown
hash, which is an excellent breakfast
dish. Chop up the remains OF any
cold meat, either beef or mutton. At

mashed potatoes lcold ones will an

few bits of butter, and moisten with a
half cup of beef gravy; then another
layer of potatoes. Drop knife into
milk and smooth over the top. Bake
in a moderate oven until nice brown.
Serve hot.
For cheese omelette break IL eggs
into a bowl, beat lightly with fork for

No More Book Proposals..

Search reveals the amazing fact that
the proposal-in literature, at least--is
becoming obsolete. Stories there are
of plenty, but in the English publica-
tions they mostly relate to mysterious
disappearance Of diamonds, or are tales
of conspiracy or intrigue, and in the
American prodnct the proposal il all
done behind the scenes-the readersis
introduced to the engaged couple or to
the married pair. The sentimental age
is passing, evidently, and we contempt
uously hurry over the romantic episode
to reach those dramatic crises In life
which seem to occupy the attention OF
both writers and readers.-Chicago

have been voting for reform candi-

advanced from 10000 to all they could
possibly lay hands on.
When I hear of a man being friend
less do not put it down to any short
cominps of his. On the contrary,
know that he lent the first so five dol
liars to ten dollars apiece and SO es-
tranced them, and the last 50 were re-
fused and thus driven to talk against
him. The worlds friendship is more
to be dreaded than the worlds enmity.

PROTECTING THE HORSE.


The MstAod In vogus N Kansas n the
Early Days.
"If one will stop to consider" said
Henry ]. Croker, of the equine show.
sit will he recalled that the horse has
always been accorded more protection
than any other animal known in the
history of America. A person who
stole q horse in early days was hanged
for it, as his value to civilization was
above price.
81 think the funniest story ever
heard touching on the horse was told
me by an old minister who went out
OH the plains of Nebraska to establish
few missions among the Indians and
settlers. 1t appears that after he had
been in the state few weeks he was
waited upon by long. gaunt fellow
who wanted to know if the Gospel lead
or wanted to join the Brownsville
Horsethief club. He was little sur
prised at the suggestion at first, but
upon being informed that the objects
III the club were not exactly what the
title suggested and that it was an Or
SANITATION for the purpose OF protect
ip,- members horses from thieves con-
cluded to join and put up his five dol
lars admission fee. In q few days he
received q notification that there would
b. a meeting of the club at place
named and that his presence was
wanted.
"He was on hand, and as he WAS the
last one to enter the door was closed
behind him and locked. The president
of the club banged his fist on the desk
and rising said: Members OF the
Horsethief club, 81 Barton's brown
/ u.are has been stolen. thereby appoint
Jack Thomas and Jim Bowers to 60 on
the trail and report next Saturday.
The meetin' is hereby adjourned"
with as little ceremony as it was
opened the meeting broke up and the
me mbers departed without further
comment. The minister was prone to
make inquiries regarding the method
of dealing with the issue before the
house, but received no satisfactory in
formation. On the morning of the fol
lowing Saturday he was notified to be
present again and complied. Arriving
at the meeting place he found the same
men there again. Jack Thomas and
Jim Bowers were there also, having
come back the night before. Again the
president put his fist on the table with
) A bang and called the meeting to order
with: we are now ready to hear the
!. report of the committee of two Bow
ers got up, threw cud of tobacco be-
hind him and answered.: We met the
