1T amt at all like the mincemeat
that mother used to make" said Clin-
ton. Mrs. Hudgens, tasting the pie her
self, was forced to admit it.
A careful analysis was made, bat all
the component parts of the real thing
appeared to be there. Discussion fol-
lowed, but for some time the something
lacking was unaccounted for, until
Hudgens suddenly smote the table with
his palm and said: 81 know what's
the matter. There isn't any brandy
in it,"
"Not as much as usual" owned Mrs.
Hudgens. "There wasn't much left
in the bottle, and | didn't want to wait
until your father got some, but I'm
sure that isn't what is the matter with
it, because have always disliked the
brandy flavor in it, and l believe it
would improve it if it was left out al
together. Anyway, there's enough in
it now"
AS general thing when Mrs. Hud-
gems spoke in that decided tone of voice
no one ventured to dispute her, but on
this occasion Mr.. Hudgens felt it his
duty to protest. He said that except
as fiavoring extract for mincemeat
he had no sort of use for liquor him
self, but in that connection it was in
dispensable. Buckingham said that
Mrs. Hudgens' recipe was so absolutely
perfect that the least departure from
its letter, and particularly it's spirit,
was fatal. Even Ethelinda joined the
opposition. Mrs. Hudgens, however,
was immovable. She declared that I'M
less they could find something else the
matter with the mincemeat it should
fill the pies as it was, from henceforth
until it was exhausted, and she kept
her word.
This year when the making of mince-
meat began Mrs. Hudgens was implored
not to forget the brandy, but she would
give no definite assurance that she
would not. She frightened her lips in
what the family declared to be an ON
inous way. There was great deal Of
anxiety on the subject.
"She still thinks that there was
something else missing last year."
whispered Buckingham to Clinton and
his father as they retired to the pantry
to consult. you see, she will make
cocksure of everything else, but she'll
leave out that one thing altogether"
II suppose she's the DOCTOR" sighed
Hudgens.
Clinton merely shook his head, and
as there seemed nothing further to do
the men moved to the porch.
If Buckingham's surmise concerning
the housewives intentions was correct
she repented of it suddenly, for she
was no sooner alone than she went to
the medicine closet and brought out a
bottle of brandy, with which she lib
orally dosed her mixture. Then she
stirred it well and left the room to at
tend to something else. In few mo-
ments Hudgens came in with bulge
under his coat, looked cautiously about
him and then called to his wife, who
replied from the top of the staircase
that she would be down in minute or
two.
ga minute or two is good" grinned
Hudgens, and, drawing bottle from
under his coat, he poured about half of
it's contents into the mincemeat, stirred
it up and sneaked away.
Then Ethelinda came in from school
through the back door, and, noticing
that the medicine closet was unlocked,

of $110 per month. and in one or two in
stances the hostler's salary was thus sup

ing $15 and another hat costing so were
bought for the coachman. June 3 rain

crease over 1890 of 136,S57. These fig
ures, however, the commissioner general

alien arrivals, as 65.6:s5 aliens came as
cabin passengers. They would have
swelled the total immigration to 514.207

figures show that of the whole number of
arrivals 424, 700 came from European
countries, 1886 from Asia, 80 from AT
rica and 1896 from all other places.
Switzerland and Spain and the Spanish
islands show q small decrease in immi-
grafton, while Austria Hungary shows
an increase of SO per cent, the Russian
empire and Finland 10 per cent increase,
Italy % per cent increase and Japan $40

De Wet Cornered.

PRETORIA, Dec. 1.-THE Boer COM
mander, General Christian De Wet, is
cornered between the Caledon and Or
ange rivers, on the borders of Basutoland.
AS the rivers are in food it 10 considered
that his capture is certain, even if he
should manage to recross the Caledon.
British columns have been sent to hold
all the passes and roads to the north to
prevent his escape. The military officers
here are greatly pleased that the attempt
of De Wet to enter Cape Colony with his
commando has been frustrated.
