Mrs. Quinette was in one of these
wistful states of mind on this particu-
lar December day. AS she looked out
of the window she could see the peo-
pie on the street carrying home their
Christmas bundles, and she thought to
herself: "Ah, me, If only had a daugh-
teri What nice presents | should buy
for her! And l would have Christ

Presently she heard her husbands
step on the stairs. He came into the
parlor smiling. Come down to the
shop, my dear, and see what / brought

"oh / would rather have some one
to spend the money onw sighed Mrs.
Quinette as she followed him.

beds. Uncle James house was an old
fashioned country dwelling without
anything of the nature of a heater in

fire in a bedroom was a luxury I'M

Happily none of the Croftroads were

A FEW HELPFUL HINTS FOR
THE GOOD HOUSEWIFE.

Copyright 1899, by Mary Jane Cooked
The three great features of Christ
mas day are the tree, the dinner and
the bills. The tree is for the children,
the dinner for the older members Of
the family and the children, and the
bills-the bills are for pa" alone. This
article has nothing to do with the tree.
1t relates solely and exclusively to the
dinner and does not even mention the
bills. They will be looked after in due
time by the butcher, grocer and pa"
1t is plainly the duty of every good
American citizen to have a bounteous
dinner on Christmas day, with turkey,
cranberry sauce and plum pudding.
The dining room should be carefully
decorated for the occasion with holly,

with cup OF water in a moderate oven from one
to four hours. Many persons bind slices of salt
pork upon the breast before roasting, using no
water.
PLUM PUDDING.-The entire success or failure
Of the pudding depends largely on the packing
and on keeping the water boiling around the pud-
ding without stopping for six hours. 1t is neces-
sary to pack plum pudding as firmly as possible
in the bowl in which it is to be boiled and to tie
the cover of cloth tightly over it, The cloth will
stretch enough for the slight swelling OF the pud-
ding. and the water will not get in. delicious
Christmas pudding is made of half a pound Of

OF muscatel raisins, stoned and cut into large
bits, and three ounces each of candied orange
peel, lemon peel and citron Toss this fruit with
a tablespoonful Of dried and sifted -four or better

the spices that have been mixed together Beat

placed would have been efficient in

Under the circumstances he considered
the suit brought against Dr. Gaudreau

The health Of the city had improved

DR.. Randall claimed he had followed
the law as to the health officers duties
as il was laid down in the statute
books. This, however, was aside from
the question. and Judge Andrews said
il would be better to decide upon the
case in hand.
DIR. Gaudreau said he had not been
sure what the case in his house was
until Sunday. and then believing that
DR.. Randall had resigned he reported
TO DR.. Harris. not knowing
what else to do. He said he had re
ceived callers at his office for time,
even though DR.. Harris had advised
him not to do so, but he had kept the
office well fumigated. He had since
stopped receiving patients there.
After several heated discussions,
Judge Andrews directed DR. Gaudreau
to comply with the law. and to follow
DR.. Randall's quarantine instructions.

ELIZABETH THOMPSON.
Passing of the Only Woman Ever
Granted Freedom of Floor
In Congress.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, whose
death at Littleton, N. H., was an
nounced recently, was born in Vermont
in 1921, being the daughter of poor
farmer. She began life as maid of
all work, but in 1s43 she attracted the
attention of Thomas Thompson, Bos-
ton millionaire, to whom she was mar
ried in 1914. He was man of markedly
philantLropic character, and when his
estate came into her hands at his death
in 1869 she followed his example in
contributing freely TO all worthy chart
ties, says the Boston Transcript.
She spent large sums in the cause of
temperance and expended fortune in
helping heads of families who had met
with misfortune. She devoted $1,000
to the investigation of yellow fever.
She spent nearly 100000 in providing
openings in business for men with fam
lilies. She founded the town of Long
Mont, at the foot of the Rocky noun
tains, giving Gas acres of land and $500
to each colonist in Saline county, Kan,
and contributed largely to the purchase
of the Nassar college telescope.
Later she presented Francis b. Car
penter's painting of the signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation by Lin
coin" to congress, for which she was
granted the freedom of the floor,
right which no other woman possessed.
She contributed large sums to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science and was made its first
patron. She was a strong advocate of
the idea of an international republic.
She was attacked by a stroke of raraly-
sis several years ago and had been in
delicate health since that time.
