Not long ago lady was giving lee
ture. Her subject was the human fig
ure and the requirements in the way Of
proportion for beauty. She herself was
of generOus-one may say unwieldy-
size, and her manner was supercilious
and lofty. She was trying to demon
strate the relative sizes of the limbs as
they really ought to be.
For example," said she, ''twice
round my thumb"-she held it up
"once round my wrist; twice round my
wrist, once round my neck; twice
round my neck, once round my waist" "
Here she paused. and a shrill voice
from the audience exclaimed:
Twice round your waist, once
around Hyde park!'
The lecturer hastily passed on to an
other branch of the subject.-LondOn

THE COOKBOOK.

A cup of butter means sixteen table
spoons. When we measure butter in a
cup, we measure it packed solid.
One cup of sauce means one cup of
liquid, regardless of the amount Of
thickening and butter that you use.
A novel and dainty way of cooking
little new onions is to boil them and
serve them on toast, similar to aspara-
gus.
Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon
until they thicken and begin to leave
the sides of the pan. Add flavoring es-
sences after taking the pot from the
fire.
After boiling a ham let it cool in the
water in which it was cooked. This
helps to make it more tasty, moist and
tender. The same rule applies to tongue
or cOrned beef.
Sardines brOiled in a chatting dish are

How Old Spiders Live,

Old spiders, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one, often
hunt about to find out the webs of 9TH
er spiders, younger and weaker than
themselves, with whom they venture
battle. The invader generally succeeds,
and the younger spider is driven out to
make a new web, and the old spider re-
mains in possession until stronger
spider invades the web and drives it
out When thus dispossessed, the spi-
der seldom ventures another attack, but
tries to subsist upon the few insects
that may fall accidentally into its
clutches and eventually dies of hunger.

why Water Won't Fry.

Why cannot we fry in water? Be-
cause water can only be heated to the
boiling point. 212 degrees, and any ad-
ditional heat does not increase it's tenn
perature. Two hundred and twelve de-
grees of heat will not brown the sur
face Of anything. Fat, on the contrary,
can be made much hotter, the tempera-
ture depending on the kind. There is
lesson here for the economical house
wife. Don't stuff the stove with fuel
when the vegetables, meat, etc, are
already boiling. They cook no faster
because of the increase of heat.

FOTURNE FOR A DOVER MAN.
Isaac McNatt, Sr.. Is Left Legacy by a
Rich Aunt in Ohio.

Isaac McNatt, Sr., an nnassuming
carpenter, who has made humble liv-
ing in Dover, for number of years
by building fences and curbs, has just
had windfall that he never expected
or had any intimation of.
He said it was all true that an aunt
in Ohio had recently died and that he
had already received in. cash $4,000.
The deceased relative also bequeathed
to him dwelling and ten acres of land
and it is estimated that the total
amount of his fortune will be about
$4,000.
The uncle in the West, who
has charge of the estate, in.
vltes him to come and see what he
has fallen heir to, assuring him that il
is quite prize. Mr.. McNatt says he
will go to Ohio next month to look
after his fortune, as an uncle has also
died and left his estate to him and his
sister at Harrington.
Mr.. McNatt is 65 years of age, wal
born near Marsh Hope and has Away
resided in this county. His inheri
tance would undoubtedly keep him tn,
balance of his days in ease and com
fort but he says he will continue at hi
trade as same as usual.

a wealthy patient to live like savage

Statistical reports received by the
recent yearly meetings of the Society
of Friends do not show an increase.
Thirteen meetings report 924 deaths
and 772 births, a net loss of 1852. This
loss occurs in all the meetings but
three-in Ohio where the births ex-
ceed the deaths by one. in Kansas,
where the births are one-half more
numerous than the deaths, aud in Ore
gon, where they are twice as numer-
GUS, though the meeting itself is
small. In ten Eastern meetings the
excess of deaths was 232. This falling
off is ascribed to the fact that ths
younger members are leaving it and
entering other communions.
