They love dark things who celebrate the rocks
That build in woody places mirk and chill

A painted cage hangs from his window sill
And hears not in its captives ey'ry trill
Pleas for the liberty he may not win.

Recipes Which the Sender Says Are Ex-
cellent and Not Found In Books.
Here is a recipe for turkey and chick
en- stufing which the sender says is very
different in its results from those given
in the cookbooks:
Grumble or CRATE the inside of stale
loaf or more of bakers bread, either a
round loaf or milk bread. Add pepper
and salt, the grated rind of lemon and
to baf half the juice; to 2 leaves, all
of it; a little grated nutmeg, a handful
each of finely cut parsley leaves and fine
white celery leaves, thyme, sweet mar
joram and summer savory, using the
leaves in preference to the ground, and
twice the quantity of thyme as of the
marjoram or savory. Mix all together,
dry and fill the crops putting all the
remainder into the bodies Of the fowl.
AS the filling is being done add small
pieces of good butter, which, together
with the proper Basting, will give the
dressing sufficient moisture.
This dressing is also excellent for
roast leg of pork when you do not want
to simulate duck or goose with it.
The recipe for the good old English
stufing for ducks OF. geese, the sender
adds, 81 never see in orr cookbooks and
do not find it used upon my neighbors'
tables People spoil these birds with
soft bread and Duss. y
This is the old recipe for stuffng for
geese, ducks or leg of pork:
Take equal parts of parboiled potatoes
cut into inch square cubes and onions
cut up Strain dry, add pepper and salt
and sage leaves crushed up. Prepare
enough Of the mixture to fill the pork
or birds with it andNto lay some Of it
under them in the roasting pan. Keep
this extra filling under the birds. Dish
it separately and serve it at the table
with the rest.-New York Sun.

scolding Under pinaculties.

At church gathering some time ago
a number of deaf nlutes were present.
Refreshments were served during the
evening, and in handing a cup of coffee
to one of the guests deaf mute gentle
man happened to spill few drops on
his wife's skirt The wife is also deaf
mute, and it was evident that she took
the mishap in a rather irritable way.
She wrinklod up her forehead and at
once made a series of remarkably swift
movements with her ninfble fingers
The husband, looking exceedingly apol-
ogetic, made few motions in return.
One of the guests who had noticed
this little byplay slyly slipped out a
bit of paper and penciling something on
it handed it to friend
This is what the latter read:
mo matter how badly afflicted, wo-
man can still soold. "
The friend scrubbed this in return:
Yes, but ia the present case the hns-
land is luckier than the average. He
doesn't have to look. Cleveland Plain

Some Examples of the GIaring Inconsist-
encies of It's Alphabet.

AS our alphabet now stands-even
after 5000 years of perfecting-it is a
string of singularly ambiguous signs
and affords an unequaled opportunity
for tormentors, just as man who can
not express himself clearly can be
plagued with sophisticated questions
The confusion of English sound and let
tiers is we'll illustrated by spelling cot
fee without one correct letter-kauphy
which spelling is nearer the original
than the one in use, for pamphlet was
printed in Oxford in 1869 on 1.-THE Ma
ture of the Drink Kauphi or Coffee. y
The artistically bad photography Of
many of our funny writers is made pos
sible by the glaring Inconsistencies of
our alphabet. But some instances of nat
urally funny bad spelling are perhaps
equal to any artificial ones. Here is a
note that was sent to doctor:
