When assured that his position would be

FAITH IN THE COOK BOOK.
Well Founded Perhaps. IL Para
graphs Are Correctly Read.

There is woman in a certain town
who has unlimited faith in cook books
and would not think of deviating from
the receipts given in them. She recently
became Interested in the subject of veal
loaf and decided TO lay in the necessary
supplies to make it. She read in re-
cipe that with three pounds and a half
of meat you should use four pounds OF
crackers. This seemed to be large pro-
portion OF crackers, but as the book said
IL. she could not do other than ask he
husband TO buy them. He bought five
pounds altogether. He had never bought
so many crackers in his life before. He
thought II would be well to order two
kinds The grocer began filling a large
sack. until the husband stopped him and
asked IL he were mixing the two kinds.
The grocer assured the husband that the
large sack contained only one of the
two kinds of crackers The husband
suppressed his astonishment. and took
two large sacks of crackers home. Then
the wife began to operate on faith. A
man employed about the house broke the
crackers while she busily worked them
into the chopped meat. The mixture got
pretty stiff and took considerable muscle,
but she kept on working, while the man
kept pounding crackers. Finally, when
three and a half pounds had been mixed
with the meal in huge roll, the woman.
with some pangs Of conscience, decided
that she would add no more. though the
cook book called for another half pound.
The family all said that it was good eat
ing. though somehow it was different
from veal-loaf that they had met with at
other places. There was plenty of 1t, GER
tainly. The wife began to doubt that
cook book as TO the proportion of crack
ers but before condemning the book, she
thought IL would be well to look at the
recipe again. She had her husband read
il to her. Sure enough he read -four
pounds of crackers" She told him to
read it again. and read it slow, to see IL
there were not a mistake in some of the
other proportions This time he was
very careful. and then the peculiar crack
er clause took on new aspect. 1t read
-four pounded crackers"

they Let the Church Un,,.a.

In the church were duly assembled the
guests, the officiating clergyman and the
bride and bridegroom. The scene was In
a suburb of the city of London. The ser
vice commenced, and all went smoothly
till the priest asked the question: wilt
thou have this woman to be thy welded
WIFE? Yes" said the prospective hus-
band. who evidently didn't go in for
archaisms. 1t was explained TO him that
Il will was the regulation reply. Where
upon the bridegroom began to argue about
it. insisting that Yes was quite suf.i-
cient for the purpose, and that as he
meant to do his duty by the girl, the ex-
act form of assent could not matter. AT
last his attitude became so aggressively
positive that the parson shut mis- book
ana refused to continue the service. and
the couple had to leave the church un-
wed.

The Orange Blossom.

Like all familiar customs whose origin
is lost in antiquity. the wearing of or
ange blossoms at a wedding is accounted
for in various ways. says Public Opinion.
Among other stories is the following
pretty legend from Spain: An African
king presented a Spanish king with a
magnificent orange tree, whose creamy,
waxy blossoms and wonderful fragrance
excited the admiration of the whole
court. Many begged in vain for a branch
of the plant, but a foreign ambassador
was tormented by the desire TO introduce
so great curiosity to his native land.
He used every possible means, fair or
foul. TO accomplish his purpose, but. all
his efforts coming to naught he gave UP
in despair.
The fair daughter of the court garden
er was loved by a young artisan, but
lacked the dot which the family consid-
cred necessary in bride One day,
CHANGING to break off a spray of orange
blossoms. the gardener thoughtlessIy
gave it to his daughter. Seeing the COW
eted prize in the girls hair, the willy am
bassddor offered her a sum sufficient for
the desired dowry. provided she gave him
the branch and said nothing about it.
Her marriage was soon celebrated. and,
on her way TO the altar, in grateful re-
membrance of the source of all her hap
piness. she secretly broke off another bit
of the lucky tree ITO adorn her hair.
Whether the poor court gardener lost his
head in consequence of his daughter s
treachery the legand does not state; but
many lands now know the wonder tree,
and. ever since that wedding day. or
ange blossoms have been considered a fit
ting adornment for a bride.

Practical Army curse.

America. strictly speaking. has no Ar
my nurses. We have proficient nurses
who care for the Ills of patients in our
city hospitals and in private families. but
they have not received the particular
training that Is essential to life and work
in overcrowded wards and hospital ships.
Fifteen years since the English govern
ment recognized the fact that it was nee
essary to give women special training for
military nursing. and the queen founded
Netley Hospital soon after Florence
Nightingales magnificent work in the
Crimea. The students at Netley are
taught with scrupulous care. They are
required to work in the hospital, first as
probationerS and then as registered
nurses, from five to six years. and the
government gives no diplomas until the
severest examinations have been passed.
Once graduated from Netley school a
woman becomes a part of the British ar
my subject to the commands of her
government and pledged to bow to the
peculiar discipline under which the ar
my nurses are held. At any day or any
hour. on a moments warning. she must
be ready to embark for any part of the
world where her services are required.
To the shores of the Nile. the jungles of
South Africa, or to the frontiers of In

and travels with the least possible lug
gage. In the hospital she wears a print
