Weigh some sound, ripe damsons and
cook them in a jar until they are per-
fectly soft, according to the directions
given above. Then pass them through
a wire sieve, removing the stones and
skins, and put the pulp into preserv-

an hour, taking care to remove the
scum, then add one pound of crushed
loaf sugar for every original pound of
fruit; stir until the sugar has dissolved,
and add few of the kernels, which
must be blanched. The preserve should
be stirred constantly, as it is very liable
to ''catch," and it must be boiled gently
until it is reduced to stiff mass, which
will leave the sides of the pan readily.

I'M: s1eesa q :! THUS
THE OLD MlLLPOND.

Did you ever brave the perils
OF the Vastly deep?
Where the bullfrog means and mumbles
And the tadpoles weep?
All! but have, and L cherish
Recolections fond
OF those days of navigation
On the old millpond.
There were Charlie. Frank and Oscar
And myself; we four
Sailed that vast expanse of water
Very often DER.
Brave. intrepid were the seamen,
Steady was our craft
Odds and ends of bits of lumber
Made into raft.
Once we visited an island,
Wishing to explore,
And we moored our truSty vessel
On the islands shore.
While we roamed. the land exploring.
Unconcerned and gay,
Ruthless waves our craft belabored,
Washed the raft away.
But 10 seamen such as we were,
Traversng the wave,
ShipwreclS was trifiing matter
We were dauntless, brave.
Tying up our clothes in bundles,
So they dry would keep,
Naked swan We to the mainland
Through the Vastly deep.
Many years have passed since that day;
Sailors still are we,
Buffeting the waves that roll on
Isifes tempestuous sea:
But through all the storms l cherish
Recollections fond
OF those days of navigation
On the old millpond.

a Unitarian church choir in Boston
where she remained four years. From

MUSIC AN D DRAMA.
GETTYSBURG.

Through the kindness OF the manage
ment of the Portland theatre. Thatcher
post, No. Ill, q. =. r.. have been en-
abled to give entertainments for the bene.
| tit of the monument fund. established
| for the purpose OF erecting IA monument
on the soldiers lot in Forest City ceme-
terry, and Gettysburg received its first
pr sentation yesterday ut matinee and
evening performances
| The play is essentially military drama
and stands the test of an evenings enjoy
ment and that is more than can be said
of ;he majority of war dramas. 1t rings
the changes upon the conflict between
love and duty, and at times brings tears to
the eyes as nothing but thegood old theme
can. Ii Is a romance with warlike and
warful setting and the work throughout
is strikingly realistic You nre In the
midst OF marching troops, the roar of
artillery, the changing of sabre and the
rattle of musket with explosions now
and then eliminating in the fall of the
very prison walls themselves.
The story opens at gun factory near
Richmond, Virginia, where. Just before
the war, the principal characters are en-
ployed, and then 1t is that an attachment
is formed between the hero and heroine
which abides through the vicissitudes of
the conflict terminating at the end In
their happy reunion and with the refor-
nation of the william himself.
The piece is well staged, hut decidedly
the most effective scene is that which
represents the bloody angle ut Gettys-
burg, where the blue and the gray lay
together on the field of carnage. and in
this scene occurs the best piece Of acting
Of the evening which is done by Frank
e. Campbell in the role of Charles Pryor,
the dying soldier. His struggle with
death was forcibly realistic and the
scene was doubly pathetic by the pres
ence of his sister and Tom Markham,
who staid over him TO the end.
The company is a capable one, Geo
Montserrat the hero in the role of Tom
Markham, Is manly and effective, and
an excellent impersonation OF the old
Southern Auntie was given by Miss
Gabrielle Mexican Miss Watson acted
with seif-restraint and was quite pleas
ing, while Miss Mcdowell contributed
good deal of sprlghtliGess by her tax
ing characterization. Maggie Barry was
bluff and hearty as the old sergeant, and
Fred Hardy made u satisfactory william.
The minor parts were in competent
hands and word Of praise is due the
detachment from the High school Cadets
who lent their assistance to the military
features
The play was very enthusiastically re-
oeived and deserves crowded houses at
both matinee and evening performances
which will be given today and tomor-
row. The cause is good one and the
production is meritorious.
There are no interpolated vaudeville
turns which are in vogue nowadays, but
at the end of the acts handsome tableaux
were presented in which Columbia,
the North and the South were typiiied
in a brilliant manner by groups Of hand
somely and appropriately costumed la
dies.
