And the world looks dark ard dFear;
I'm short OF breath, so | pant ana "heeze.
And SILVER and shake. and cough ana
sneeze:
Nv limbs creak mournfully in the breeze
For l am the poor Old Year.
Twelve months ago was young and fair;
| ruled the world with regal air,
And every one welcomed me, here and
there,
Without a frown or tear..#
The boys and girls hurrahed for me.
And l was as happy as happy could be;
The world around was fair to see
For l was the glad New Year
The merry thrush and the bold cuckoo
Gave me a song and a welcome true;
The white nuccoou and the violet blue
Peeped slyly into my face;
The tulip gave her rich perfume,
The larkspur waved her azure plume.
The red rose opened her velvet bieom'
My royal court to grace
The brookiet burst its icy bond,
The fern uneoIled her greenest frond,
The daisy waved her yellow wand,
To give me welcome meet:
And Summer brought her glowing days,
Her bearded wheat and golden maize;
The wild bee hummed song of praise
And slipped the clover's sweet
linen autumn poufeu het iNuds NiA4"'
And shook the cluster from the vine,
And dropped the needles from the pine,
To scatter in my path;
The milk-weed burst her silky pod,
The partridge piped from the turfy sod
And queen-of- the-meadow and goiden-rod
Bloomed gay in the aftermath.
But now. alas! my time has come;
I'm weak and weary, and cold and numb
And sour and sad, and cross ard glum.
And the world Is dark and drear;
No blossoms spring as ] pass along,
No warbler sings me a welcome song;
But the bells ring out merry ding-dong
To welcome another year.

STRAWBERRY DELIcAcIEs.
Five Excellent Ways In which The
Much Favored Fruit May
he served.

Cooked strawberries are, of course,
at a discount so long as the fruit may
be had quite fresh. There is. however,
a way to eke out small quantity Of
berries, when their abundance is passed.
that may easily be carried out by
frugal boasekeeper. For instance. a
quart of strawberries mashed with the
back OF silver fork, then well mixed
with cupful of fine granuiaied sugar,
allowed to stand until the sugar is dis
solved, will do duty for two or three
quarts aud make a slightly and delicious
dessert If poured over a blanc munge
made either of corn starch or gehtin.
Gelatin of the incest may now be bought
at the rate of six packages for % cents,
and half box makes generous quart
of jelly or blanc mango. 1t is the same
price when granulated, and, as this need
only soak in cold water or milk for two
or three minutes, ii will be found very
convenient 1t is wen TO have half
dozen boxes of gelatin in the house
at the beginning of the fruit season, as
it comes in TO help out each variety.
A very simple and delicious way of
preparing strawberries, raspberries or
currants is 10 make pint of juice boiling
hot, and stir it into a quarter of box
of gelatin soaked in the juice of two
lemons; add half pint of sugar, and
when dissolved turn into mold and
put aside to jelly. This may be made
of berries thur are not suitable to serve
whole.
Strawberry or raspberry custard is
delicious. Put pint Of rice TO heat,
and when at boiling point stir in three
even tablespoc nfuls of -four mixed
smooth with cold juice, which may be
half water. Stir over the fire until
smooth and allow time for the flour
to lose any raw taste. Put aside to
cool and then add he beaten yollSs of
four eggs; when smooth, stir in lightly
the stiffened whites and bake about Is
minutes in small cups or in dish, as
preferred. Serve when cold with
whipped cream or any sauce liked.
A hot bread pudding is very good
with warm fruit sauce tn own over.
To make, thicken half a pin: of hot
berry juice with tablespoonful of
flour; when cooked add the juice of
a lemon and half cupful of sugar;
when the later is dissolved the sauce
is ready. The sauce may often be made
from leftover berries; even half-ripe
ones may be utilized.
A shortcake must never be an ordi-
nary layer cake filled with fruit, but
should be happy suggestion of soda
biscuit and pie crust, richer than the
first, while palmer than the last. In
mixing up very cold milk should be
used, and to quart of flour double the
shortening used for the biscuit Rub
this in between the hands and sifs with
the flour and baking powder an even
tablespoonful of sugar. This latter will
not be detected on account of the
sweetened berries and adds 10 the light
ness without making the crust like
cake. Mashed berries. sweetened to
taste. must always he used between the
layers, and if whole ones are used TO
garnish the sop they must be very ripe.

DEATH TO SNAKES.
The Artistic Way New York Dog
Has of Killing Them and the
Use He Makes of Them.

An Andover spondont, who
writes from that place occasionally,
sends snake story that is hard to swal-
low. But here is he story. anyway:
Mr.. George f. Bllakman is the owner
of dog, Dan. that has made quite rec
ord as a snake killer. For several weeks
past the animal has spent all his time
in the Fl Ids and woods, hunting and
killing blacSsnakes.
WheH Dan spies a snake he dashes
round aad round his prey. barking furi-
ously. When the snake coils and raises
its head in defensive attitude. Dan
dashes in with side-like movement
and catches with his teeth that portion
of the SNAKE just behind The head. Then
a vigorous shake or two, and the snake
is tossed into the air to come down
dead.
Then Dan takes the snake in his
month, and with tail up proudly trots
home with ii. The snakes he catches
/ from day 10 day he carefully ranges in
a pile in The woodward No one has
counted the snakes, but from the road
the heap of snakes looks almost like
a cord of wood-so there must be a good
many of diem. They rangein size from
thrse feet 10 seven feet in length.
peculiar thing about Dan is that he
does ret muiiladc the snakes except
that in each instance he bites hole in
the skin and eltS the liver of the rep
tile. He has become so expert in this
that he car. in an instant. locate the
liver OF a snake, no matter what its size,
big or li;;le.
Dan is also quite fisherman He has
long, shIg ~ tail. the end OF which
is adorned with Santa Claus-like whis-
kers- Al dasS Dan will repair to the
riverside and drop his tail into the wa
ter. When he has bite" which means
that the hairs of his tail have become
tightly twisted about the horns of a
rat bulltead, Dan gives yelp and
jump, throw his tail over his shoulder
and lands 'bc fish in safe place.
But fishing is a side issue with Dan.
