Some of the words They Must MRS

"Whats a dune?" asked the practical
man.
"a dune" answered the practical mans
wife, "a dune is-er-er, why, a dune-I
believe I've forgotten just what dune is.
What do you want to know for, any
way?
whats a dure"
"a durel don't think ever heard Of
a dure."
"What's a pirn?" continued the prac-
teal man.
"Now, see here" said the wife firmly,
"I'm not a dictionary, and l don't pre-
tend to be one. But I'd like to ask you
one question in return. What's that book
you have in your hand and have been get
ting all those obsolete or impossible words
from? Must be copy of the ancients."
"Well, it isn't" answered the man dog
gedly enough. "Its copy of the spell
ing book that your young hopeful, aged
o. struggles with every day in his school
life. Now, what do you think of that2"
you are always talking about the
beauties of the present day system Of in
structing children. How do you like this
system? Well, I'll bet there isn't one
man In twenty, outside of the fellows who
are themselves engaged in educational
forms, who could tell offhand the mean
ing of a lot of these words that occur in
this very primitive book. It's good thing
for the parents to look into these matters
once in awhile"
"I'm sure / didn't know those words
were in the book" said the woman
meekly. "Are you sure you haven't
picked up high school book?"
High school nothing" retorted the
man. "See for yourself. This Is Tom
my's spelling book. Let's go a little fur
Their into this thing. Look at this" The
man turned the page and read, Selves,
torque, fyke, tete, Size, tge, feoff, eyre,
oppugn, rasure and obligor." "Ill tell
you what I'll do, Maria. If you'll take a
pencil and a piece of paper and write OPP
posite each of these words its correct
meaning, without consulting the diction-
airy, I'll write you a check for a new tai
lor made gown at Nine. Swellun's. Now,
here's chance for you to score one for

Here's another thing. If there is any
thing do hate, it is affectation, and this
spelling book puts a direct premium on
affectaton. Every well regulated child
calls its parents mamma and papa re-
spectively, accenting the first syllables.
Here is this book insisting that the words
shall be, as the English have them,
mamma and papa with the last sylla-
bles accented.

thing. But 1t seems to have escaped the

MUTTON CHOPS TOASTED.

When the chop has been cut and
trimmed hold it on n toasting fork,
close to a very hot, clear fire for a min
ute in order to scar the outside very
quickly; turn the chop and treat the
cher side In the same manner, thus
armine q sort of u crust to retain the
juice of the meat, which is so valuable
to invalids and children, but which
through careless cooking-is so often al
lowed to run to waste. The chop must
now be held a little further from the
fire where it may be cooked more slowly.
The meat must not on any account, be
at all burnt, yet it must certainly be
cooked thoroughly, to the very centre.
In about fifteen minutes 1t will he done
sufficiently. having been turned twice or
thrice during the time Care must be
taken never to insert the toastng fork
into the lean part of the meat, but just
into the rim of fat round the edge. Make
slice of dainty, crisp toast, cut it in
finger pieces and arrange these cross
wise on hot plate; lay the chop upon
the toast, sprinkle over it little salt
and pepper and serve Immediately.

When Edward VII of England was
Prince of Wales, he was in Philadelphia
In 1860, and he took great interest in the
relics Of the Revolutionary period, al
though his visit to Independence hall was
projected purely in spirit of mischief
by his entertainers.
In rummaging in the garnet the party
discovered the old cracked bell which
had been somewhat contemptuously hid
den away, and this more than any other
relic seemed to fascinate the prince,
whose words have been thus reported:
"This old bell is the greatest relic this
republic has today. Instead of being
here, covered with this accumulated dirt
it should occupy the chief place in this
hall of independence. 1t is to you what
the Magma Charta is to England. 1t is
cracked, but it is an inspiration. Believe
me, my friends, it affects me more than
anything have been shown"
The good sense of this suggestion ap-
pealed Immediately to the pride and sensi.
bility of the custodians of the relics, and
from that moment the Liberty bell took
its "chief place in the hall of independ
ence."-Youth's Companion.

One pound CT lean beef, rump or
round, chopped very fine. Or you may
use fer this purpose the long, tough
ends of a sirloin steak. Half n cupful
of bread crumbs, one slice of onion,
chopped fine one tablespoonful Of
chopped parsley, the yolk of one egg, a
teaspoonful of vinegar, or lemon juice if
you have it, tcaspoonful of butter. Put
all the materials together in a large
bowl and mix them thoroughly. Form
into a loaf about six inches long and
four wide. Wrap it in a paper that has
been creased with butter, put it in n
baking pan and bake it in a hot oven
for half an hour, basting it two or three
times with melted butter. When it is
done, unwrap the paper, put the loaf in
the centre of large heated dish and
pour around it n brown sauce made of
the drippings left in the pan. Heat
these drippings to boiling, mix in level
tablespoonful of flour and add one cup
ful of stock, if you have it, or cold
water Stir until it boils, season to
taste and pour around the meat.

PAN.AMERICAN POINTS.

Every visitor to the Pan-Amercau Expo
stion Is more than pleased, and even sur
prised at the wonderful display provided by
the Exposition management.
Not only are the buildings beautiful in
line and color, but the stupendous electrical
illuminations which at night decorate the
great struc ures are most dazzling in effect.
From New Eugland the lines OF the BOs-
ton q Maine are the most direct to Buffalo.
The service by this line Is not only the
quickest, but is the most complete and also
the shortest The route through N rthern
Massachusetts known az the Hoosac Tun-
mel CT Deerfeld Valley route ia one OF the
most charming and picturesque in the conn
try, and the rate to the Pan-American city
or Niagara is exceptionally low. For tour
lists from Boston q Maine territory par
ticular advantage is the absence OF a trans
fer across the city OF Boston, for Buff ilo
trains depart for the North Union Sta ion.
The General Passenger Department OF
the Boston & Maiae Railroad, Boston, has
gotten out an attrat tive pamphlet on the
Pan'Amerioan Exposition, which is sent
free for the asking.

Paddy, the Yankee and the Turtle.

In New York man was carrying live
turtle along the street when by came an
Irishman, followed my large dog. The
countryman tried by gentle words to get
the son of the Emerald Isle to put his
finger into the turtles mouth, but he was
too smart for that.
"But," says Pat, "I'll put my dogs tail
in and see what the haste will do"
He Immediately called up his dog, took
its tail in his hand and stuck 1t in the
turtles mouth. He had scarcely got 1t in
when Mr.. Turtle shut down on the poor
dogs tail, and off the latter started at
railroad speed, pulling the turtle after
him at more rapid rate than ever it had
Travelled before. The countryman, think
ing that his days work would be thrown
away If the animal should run at that
rate, turned with savage look upon the
Irishman and exclaimed:
"Call back your dog"
Paddy pur his hands into his pockets,
threw his head to one side, winked and
then answered, with a provoking sang
froid, "Call back your fsh!'-St. Louis

THE COOKING OF FOWL.
BY Louis Role.

A fowl is not chicken as many Of
us have learned by sad experience, but
n well cooled fowl is good eating il
properly cooked, as many good house
wife can testify. Broilcrs and the
earliest of spring chickens are often too
expensive eating for the ordinary house
hold. but that does not prevent the
family from having delicious eating il
the right methods are pursued with the
fowl that is procured as a substitute.
Procure as young fowl as possible,
and the day before it is to be served,
stew it gently for three hours and allow
it to stand over night in the liquor in
which it was boiled. Then roast it in
the usual way, just as you would
chicken, but allow about ten minutes to
the pound, basting often with the drip
pings of roast beef, or with melted but
ter, large tablespoonful of which
should be put in the pan when the fowl
Is first put in the oven to roast. Right
here let me suggest that if you will be
careful to haste fowls often, you will
always avoid what you often have found
on the table, dry meat.
Another thing well to remember in
the cooking of fowl and that is that the
stuffing is an essential factor. For
fowl | have found beef suet the best
iouhuullou lor inc StulnnS' use sueI
instead of butter, the latter being far
more expensive and FAR less satisfactory
III Its results. For pair of average
sized fowl, take cup of timely chopped
suet, free from the stringy portions, rub
through the hands into two cupfuls of
state bread crumbs, tablespoonful or
chopped parsley and teaspoonful or
chopped green thyme Gin the winter use
the tried and pepper and salt to taste.
