COOKING SCHOOL.
Cream Sponge Cake.

Beat the yolks of seven eggs very
light; add one-half cup fine granulated
sugar. Beat the whites of ten eggs to
a stiff froth, and beat in lightly one
cup sugar. Add the yolks and sugar,
the juice and rind of one lemon and
three tablespoons cream. Mix one tea
spoon cream of tartar with one cup of
flour, cut this lightly into the eggs and
sugar and, last, add one-half teaspoon
of aqua ammonia and turn at once into
the pan. Line the tin with buttered
paper on sides; also shake flour over
the butter; shake off what does not adj
here. Ammonia must go in last, for it
is so volatile that if added earlier it is
lost.

A Wash Workman.

Among the insects whose proceed
ings sometimes suggest the thought
that they are guided by something
closely akin to reason are the solitary
wasps These wasps kill caterpillars,
spiders and other insects by singing
them, and then bury the victims in
burrows containing their own eggs,
thus furnishing food for their larvae
as they hatch out. The operation of
making and closing up the burrows, as
described by DR.. and Mrs. Peckham in
Bulletin No. Of the Wisconsin
Geological and Natural History Sur
vey," is very interesting, and partic-
ularly the occasional use by the wasps
of a small stone to pound down the
earth.

The Tudor Sleeve.

The pretty Tudor sleeve, cut off at

ward point with a small gathering cap
of fabric matching the yoke or guimpe,
is model used on costumes and toll

serviceable style, where an increase of
breadth from shoulder to shculdsr is
desirable. The extension of the color
of the yoke over to the top of the arm

Thanks giving.


Autumn, receding, throws aside
Her robe of many a varied dye,
And Winter in majestic pride
Advances in the lowering sky.
The laborer in his granary stores
The golden sheaves all safe from
spoil,
While from her horn gay Plenty pours
Her treasures to reward his toll.
To solemn temples let us now repair,
And bow in grateful alteration there,
Bid the full strain in hallelujahs rise,
To watt the sacred incense to the skies.
Nov the hospitable board
Groans beneath the rich repast--
All that luxury can afford
Grateful to the eye or taste;
While the orchards sparkling juice
And the vintage join their powers;
All that nature can produce
Bounteous Heaven bids be ours
Let US give thanks: Yes, yes, be sure,
Send for the widow and the orphan poor;
Give them wherewith to purchase clothes
and food
This the best way to prove our gratitude.
On the hearth high flames the fire,
Sparkling tapers lend their light,
Wit and Genius now aspire
On Fancy's gay and rapid flight;
Now the viol's sprightly lay,
As the moments light advance,
Bids us revel, sport and play,
Raise the song or lead the dance.
Come sportive Love, and sacred Friend
ship, come,
Help US TO celebrate our harvest home;
IN vain the year its annual tribute pours.
Unless you grace the scene, and lead the
laughing hours

A story illustrating the reticence Of
the Scotch regarding their private af-
fairs was told by Ian MacLaren when
in Boston. A train was at railroad
station, when porter put his head
into a car and called out: ANY one
in this car for Doun? Change for
Doun? Any one for Doun?" No one
moved, and in few minutes the train
was speeding along, not to stop again
for nearly an hour. Then an old
Scotchwoman turned to a lady near
her and said: I'm for Doun, but I'd
no tell that man so.''

partment on the next train for two la
dies of rank and title. When the train
arrived. it was found that all the COM
partments were filed save one, in
which just one quiet, plainly-dressed
lady was seated. The station-master,
obsequious to the liveried servant and
his evidently distinguished mattresses,
attempted to make her give up her
seat, so that the two ladies could have
the compartment to themselves. The
lady naturally objected, especially as
there was no other seat for her on that
train. II see no reason why the ladies
should not sit here with me" she said.

tones. came to the door of the COM
partment, and after inquiring as to the
cause of the excitement, exclaimed,
why. there is room in there for half
a dozen people!" and without more
ado. to the station-master's confusion,
got into the compartment with the
other passenger. They were the two
sisters of the German emperor!

Annie In the Graveyard.

With a buoyant step of mirth;
She bounded Ger the graves,
Where the weeping willow waves,
Like a creature not of earth.

Her hair was blown aside,
Ana her little hands spread wide,
With an innocent delight.
She spelt the lettered word
That registers the dead;
She spelt the lettered word,
And her busy thoughts were stirred
With pleasure as she read
She stopped and culled a leaf
Left huttering on a rose;

And played with it awhile,

CONCERNING WOMEN.

Probably no woman in England
knows so much about women convicts
as Adeline, duchess of Bedford. Her
grace holds permission from the home
secretary to visit prisons in which
women are incarcerated for periods Of
over two years, and she has made ex-
cellent use of the great trust imposed
in her. She and her colleague, Lady
Battersea, do their utmost to give pris-
oners on their discharge fair chance
Of becoming useful and respected mem
bers of society. The duchess OF Bed
ford is handsome woman in the
prime of life, and when speaking from
the platform the resemblance in voice
to her sister, Lady Henry Somerset, is
very striking.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed o. those who often
arrange flowers: Put your flowers in
very lightly. Use artistic glasses. Do
not use more than two or at the most
three, different kinds of flowers in one
decoration. Arrange your colors TO
form bold contrast, or. better still. a
soft harmony. The aim of the decora-
tor should be to show off the flowers
not the vases that contain them.
therefore the simpler ones are far
preferable to even the most elaborate
Glasses for a dinner table should be
either white, a delicate shade of green
brown or rose color, according to the
flowers arranged in them.

In a recent address on vaccination
an English lady physician related
some curious stories illustrating the
prevalence Of smallpox in England just
before Jenners time. In advertise
ments for servants it was commonly
stipulated that they must be of the
Church of England and have had the
smallpox" The police, in advertising
for the apprehension OF counterfeit
er, gave as one of the marks of iden-
tification that the fugitive had mo
pock-holes." In a letter from lady to
her son urging him to find a husband
for his young daughter, the solicitous
grandmother wrote that she was not
in favor of early marriages as a rule,
but this was an exceptional case, for
Angelina has not had the smallpox,
an at any moment the chance of her
getting settled in life might be en-
tirely lost Therefore, it is better to
get her married at once"

MALTA FEVER.

Malta fever takes its name from the
fact that it was first studied among
the British troops in the Island of Nal
ia. 1t occurs along the shores and
among the islands of the entire Medit-

become of interest from the fact that
among the troops returning from Cuba
last autumn several cases were found
Of a disease which closely resembled
it. Indeed, it is now believed that NAL
ia fever prevails in the Mediterranean
of the western hemisphere as well as
in that of the eastern. 1t occurs In
Hongkong, and doubtless also IN the
Philippine Islands.
