SOME CANADIAN ENGLISH.
Funny Dialect of the Habitant of the
Backwoods CoUn-
fry.

Joe Place, who lives out on the Bid
deford Pool road, supplies a fair
amount of innocent amusement to the
people of that section.
The other day he drove into the city
with load of cordwood. On the top of
the load he had some mysterious par
eel in short sack, and the contents of
the parcel occasionally moved and
writhed.
him about the bundle Joe lifted up the
shorts sack and Immediately there was
mighty squealing from within.
"Leetle pigs" quoth Joseph, snil-
ing.
Now tai yo' wat dc" he said, jo-
cosely, ''yo' tai me how nanny leetle
pegs dere be in dat bag, and ba gar.
geeve yo' de whole tree of heem."
'Well,'' said the other, II guess there
are three pigs there, Joseph"
Joseph was disgusted.
"Oh, ba gar shouted he. Somebody
gon' toll yo' bout dat"
They undertook to run down the ca
pacities of Joseph's horse the other
day, and Joseph was mad. Some one
told him that the critter couldn't trot
in 4:3o. Joseph shook his fists. His
voice trembled with suppressed feeling.
He pulled out his wallet and wanted to
bet. And as he talked he grew mad
der.
At last he said:
Now yo' look here. yo' dom know
wat yo' talk about. Dat boss he all
FRAT. He can go jussas fas' as yo' want
heem trot. / bat yo' put heem on de
barn and geeve heem handful of oat and

Hpw our Grandmothers Did It--Fol-
low These Careful Di-
rectfOmB.

Our grandmothers prided themselves
upon their patching. For time the
art languished, but, fortunately, dur
ing the last few years, since sewing
was introduced into the public schools,
the children are all being taught the
manifold uses of the needle, and many
a mother has to confess that her little
daughter can turn out far better
patch than she can herself. Here is
lesson on how to insert invisibly o
patch in serge, muslin or any material
easily frayed out:
First, cut away the torn or worn out
part, so as to form either square or
rectangular opening. Second, to ill
up exactly this hole, cut correspond
ing piece from material of the same
texture and color, allowing on either
side margin which when frayed out
will form four projecting tabs in the
semblance of the arms of a cross.
Third, apply the patch thus divided
into five exact sections or squares in
such way as to have the solid center
filing up the hole to thread. Tack
the four arms on the foundation franz
ing the hole. Fourth, thread fine
needle with the two ends of a thin
strand of silk, doubled in two to form
loop; with this needle and silk darn
straight row radiating from one of
the edges of the patch. Before draw
ing the silk right through, slip into
the loop one of the frayed out threads.
which hold lightly in place with the
thumb of the left hand. Now pull the
needle, and by this movement both
the silk and the frayed out threads
will be drawn into the material, the
smaller or pearl stitches scarcely
showing on the right side. Be care
full to have the darning started from
the very edge of the patch to avoid
any appearance of break. Repeat
this thread by thread. These frayed
out threads, being about two inches
long, cannot be threaded and darned
without some skillful management,
hence their introduction into the loop
silk to drag them through the rum
ming stitches.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

KITCHEN ECONOMIES.
various Small Items which Go Far
Towards Reducing Ex-
r penses.

After a broth has been skillfully
skinned and still little atoms of
grease appear on the surface, lay a
piece of clean brown paper over the
top, and the grease will cling to it.
Often only the whites of eggs are
acquired for immediate use. The
ks may be kept some time if they
~ ! put into small cup, covered with
"a little cold water, and kept in cool
place.
A loaf of cake that has got stale and
dry may be freshened so as to seem
newly baked by putting it in a tin,
covering the tin with another pan,
and leaving the whole in warm oven
about 20 minutes.
To boil meat so as to retain the
juices and soluble salts, and yet cook
it sufficiently, it should be plunged
into boiling water and boiled rapidly
fast cooking the kettle must be
pushed over to the back of the fire,
where it's contents will simmer
gently. This tends to coagulate the
outer rind of the meat, so that the
juices cannot escape. If meat be
treated in this manner the inside will
be found juicy and tender. but if the
meat is allowed to boil it will be found
hard and chippy.
When small pieces of pie crust are
left from making pies, instead of
forming them into tarts. as is usually
done, secure some round hardwood
sticks, about four inches long. and
after the pieces of crusts are rolled
out thin, cut them into narrow strips.
with jaggered iron. -four the sticks
and roll the strips around them
Place these in tin. and put in hot
oven to bake. When the crust has
got partly cool. slide the stick out.
When serving. fill the spaces with
jelly, whipped cream or marmalade,
and the family will be delighted with
new dish.-Home Life.

RUSHING THE SEASON.
Well Dressed Women Are Governed
by the weather I'm Chang
ing Costumes.

There are always persons who are
discontinued If they cannot be in adj
vance with every change of fashion
who are eager to put on spring attire
before the winds of winter are laid.
However bitter the blasts they desire
to lay aside their comfortable winter
wraps as soon as the calendar changes
and appear in spring coats. The num-
Der of foolish women who thus sacri-
fee their health to shallow vanity is
not so large as it once was, because,
in spite of all that is said to the con-
trary, the women of to-day are wiser
in such matters than their mothers
or their grandmothers. They are
more learned in matters of health,
and have become, for that reason,
more intelligent housekeepers and
mothers. There are not, therefore, so
many women as there once were who
rush the seasons" and adopt the at
tire of May in March. Fashionable
women never do this to-day, as they
'bad form" to do So 1t is the woman
who aims to be fashionable, and who
does not comprehend the fact that
common sense is at the foundation of
the modern fashion, who makes this
blunder. The elegant woman of to-
day makes no sudden changes in her
dress. She abhors the startling and
extreme in her attire as she does in
everything. Pronounced styles in
dress were once looked upon with ia
for by fashion, but fashion has
changed.
The only persons in. the cities who
rush into a new gown and a spring
bonnet, whatever the weather is, are
maidservants who attempt to copy
their mistresses' styles, and other ig-
norant but ambitious persons.
Each year the changes of dress from
one season to another are more
gradual. The distinctive fashions of
spring and autumn are almost lost
sight of, so gradual is the change in
the present day between the styles of
winter and summer. Well dressed
women of to-day are governed by the
weather and by the calendar in MAX
ing changes from winter to spring
dress. 1t is not an uncommon thing
to see women wearing their heavy
winter wraps and fur garments as
late as May. The sensible English
fashion of using fur capes and boas
for cool evenings in midsummer has
long ago been adopted in this coun-
try, so that fur is no longer a badge
of the season of frosts. Ultra changes
In the cut and fit of clothes are not
now introduced suddenly, as they
once were. The fashions of one year,
on the contrary, are gradually merged
into those of the next. 1t is as though
all well dressed women had agreed to
the poets dictum:
BE not the first by whom the new is tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. .

Quiet Color. the voguc.

No matter how inexpensive a gown
may be. it should be becoming in color
There are few points that should
always be remembered by the woman
with limited wardrobe. She should
not invest in high novelty shades; if
very stout or very tall, or unusually
slender, she should not wear light or
brown colors on the street. Black and
white are particularly stylish for trim
mings or any color or material A
light, airy effect should be aimed at
by young women and young girls. The
colors on the color card issued for the
manufacturing and retail trades are
almost faded in appearance, so light
are the tones represented by the pastel
or miniature shades. Everything is
.softened by art to appear as though
subdued by time, and several old col
ors in the list are well disguised by this
antique finish.-Ladies' Home Journal.
