They Say.


Have you heard of the terrible family
"They"
And the dreadful, venomous things thew

Why, half the gossip under the sun
II you trace it back, you will find begun
In that wretched House of "They. !"
A numerous family, so I am told,
For it's genealogical tree is old:
For ever since Adam and Eve began
10 build up the curious race of man.
Has existed the House of "Thev"
Gosslp-mongers and spreaders of lies,
Horrid people whom all despise!
And yet the best of us, now and then.
Repeat queer tales about women and
men,
And quote the House of They"
"They's" one task is to watch his
neighbor,
And tell his business and private affairs.
TO the world at large they are sewers Of
These folks in the House of They"
1t is wholly useless to follow a "Thev''
With whip or gun, for he. slips away
And into his house, where you cannot
60,
1t Is locked and bolted and guarded So
This horrible House of They"
Though you cannot get in, yet they get
out,
And spread their villainous tales about.
OF all the rascals under the sun
Who have come to punishment. never
one
Belonged to the House of They"

is to gather a lot of twigs and grass, and
taking them into thicket or jungle,
they build a nest for a home, much as
does bird. The nest is usually built
large enough for the family, and il the
latter be very numerous then the nests
are of very large SIZE
Into this place they ali turn and snug
gle and curl up together like SO many
kittens. Sometimes the foliage will
grow together and form sort of nat
ural covering, but there is never any at
tempt at constructing protection from
the rain and storms. and it is a marvel
how they endure them.
Where there is a particularly good
piece OF jungle for home sites. it will be
quickly appropriated for the purpose,
and sometimes hundreds of these nests
will be found together in the bush, as it
is called.
But though the bushmen of our Aus
tralian colonies are the very lowest in
the scale of ignorance, they possess a
rare instinct that equals that of many
animals, and is in it's way as wonderful
as mans reason.
1t is almost impossible for them to be
lost. Even II they be led away from
their home blfndfolded for miles, when
released they will unerringly return in
the right direction, and make their way
to their nest home, and though these
are all very similar, they never make a
mistake.

How to Cook Trout.

Trout may be baked, but is usually
preferred fried. A simple way is to
drop the fish, which has been rolled in
meal or flour, into a pan OF hot butter.
1t should be fried light brown, and
seasoned after it is removed from the
pan. II cup of cream is poured into
the frying pan, boiled up a moment.
seasoned and poured over the fish. it
makes a nice sauce to eat with.
Still another way to fry trout is to
have the butter in the pan heated to the
hottest point, and then drop in the fish.
that has been split and rolled in fine
meal. When cooked on one side the
fish Is turned and cooked on the other
1t should be served at once, laid upon a
napkin on hot dish, and garnished
with parsley or water cress.
Nothing can be daintier for breakfast
than brook trout, and for a Sunday
morning breakfast, when the busiest
person can take time to enjoy his meal.
1t is especially appropriate.
OF course, eggs in any of the $50 WAYS
there are for cooking them always
makes an appropriate accompaniment
for any dish, and il trout is the main
part of the feast, eggs can be used in
ornamental way; but may be appropri-
ately served only for breakfast or
luncheon.

Mother Goose's Dinner Party.


Twenty-Five guests had been invited.
tom Tucker" Jack" and gill" and
the rest of the guests came in squads
and platoons.
There were three boy Blues and
three Miss Muffets,' and the maids of
the kitchen"
The Queen OF Hearts," decorated
with SO blood-red hearts, made a SEN
sation. And boy Blue became at
once her devoted slave, and when Bob
by Shaftoe" arrived the Queen" paid
more attention to him, and poor boy
Blue" felt very badly.
Bobby Shaftoe'' presented his card
and then began to comb down his vel
low hair.
The Queen" was very much i'm
pressed, and "Bo Peep" told the blue
Bird in whisper that he was her lover
forever more
Little Red Riding Hood" did not
like to hear this, for she thought Bob
by belonged to her, but just then
Johnny Green" came in, and made
everybody laugh trying to ring his little
silver bell and at the same time keep
his large pussy cat swinging.
Mistress Mary" was quite contrary
as usual, especially when George Por-
gie' tried to kiss her, but then he kissed
all the girls, and strange to say, none of
them crieo; they rather seemed to like
it.
Jack Horner" with his Christmas pie,
which was real mince pie, was a great
favorite, and many time would be
seen in corner with pretty girl to
pull out plum.
Nancy Etticote" with her golden
curls and pretty white gown was the
belle of the evening.
Simple Simon" was bright enough
to know her, but she thought tom
the Piper's Sonn' was the more attract
i've, as he let her taste of his chocolate
pig as he played on his pipe for them to
dance.
Peter Pumpkin Eater" was SO late
with his wife, whom he drew in a
pumpkin shell, that there was little
time to introduce them, and they all
marched to supper singing to the tune
OF Mistress Mary's Bells"
1t was real Mother Goose supper.
with white bread and butter" hot
cross buns" pink slices of ham, large
plate of tarts, candied plums, and a nail
of water.
Curly Locks could not bring straw
berries and cream, SO they had straw
berry Ice cream with pat-a-cakes that the |
Baker Man" made.
At signal from Mother Goose"
Boy Blue" blew his horn. and eyery |
body went upstairs. Curtains were
drawn across the doorway leading into
the library.
The curtains parted, and there was a !
big nest with a monstrous goose sitting |
upon it; then Mother Goose" made a |
little speech which made them all laugh. |
The goose put her bill into the nest and !
pulled out little golden egg. The nest
must have been full, for there was an
egg for every one of the children.
When they went home they all said
that there was nothing quite SO nice as
a Mother Goose" party.

Keeping Up With the Times,

To woman without family keeping
up with the times is not a hard thing
to do. It is the woman whose cares are
many who finds current reading impos-
sible. She is too tired when her duties
are done to read and digest what she
reads.
A criticism often heard of a woman is
that she never reads, and when in COM
pany appears ignorant This is too
harsh; she may be a woman of rare
ability, but as mother her duties are
such that she simply cannot read the
magazines and papers. So many things
Of interest all over the world are hap
pening that one must needs keep a
sharp outlook to converse we'll upon
subjects Of national and international
Importance. This busy woman is
neither ignorant nor stupid: she is
eager to be we'll read but first of all her
children must be cared for. She does
not trust them to a nurse girl; her low
ing care surrounds them daily; she
breathes into them gentleness, sweet
ness and strength of character. When
they are older and take less care, then
she reads for their sakes.
knowledge of current events of af-
fairs in general does not make the
woman any more than the cut of a
mans. coat marks him as a gentleman.

tractive girl should be taught to make
the most of herself, and who can teach
her this so we'll as her mother!
II your daughter is growing up too
quiet, and seems never to have any
thing to say, exert yourself to draw her
out; lead her into general conversation
at every opportunity; let her feel that
her thought and opinion about different
matters are of some weight and i'm
portance. DO not let her sink into that
state of mind which is content to let
other people take the burden of con-
sation while she sits by in apparently
stupid silence.
1t is habit which will grow upon her
and which will only become the more
deeply fixed if referred to in any way.
Some day her chances of a happy and
useful life may be ruined by it.
Is your daughter, almost a woman
now, shy with her brothers boy
friends? Do they never walk home
from school with her, or show any
up, mother. You have duty to per-
form. Make little parties for her now
and then; encourage her to get up pic
MICS and excursions, and to entertain. in
different ways, the boys and girls you
deem proper mates for her. Teach your
naturally unsociable little daughter to
like the boys.
Perhaps her sister may need quite an
opposite mode Of treatment, and then
your utmost tact will be called in play
to push the one and restrain the other,
and not to let either one know.
You yourself know that this quiet,
bashful daughter has even better quail
ties OF mind and disposition than has
her more dashing and brilliant sister.
and you must make the most of them
and lead her to do the same.
Talk with this quiet one, then. and
show her that her life and her thoughts
are of interest to others lead her to
cultivate and value her little accom-
pllshments. and to use them as she
grows older; push her into society of
the right kind and make it for her:
make your home pleasant for the young
men Of clean lives who are suitable
companions for her; strive always to
make her life as normal as it NAV he
and, therefore, as happy.
II you are a true woman, YOU will
wish your children to be happily mar
r1ed, and, when the proper time comes.
you will do all that you can to bring it
about-Clara NJ. White, in Household.
