The London Daily Mail says that
many OF the eloquent sermons heard ut
the churches are composed by won-
an who makes her living thereby.
There lives in the north Of London the
widow of u clergyman who, under the

sermons for clcrgymen in the metropo.

mons are bought by clersymen of the
Church Of England. who write TO her
under the impression that they are
communicating with a clergyman re-
tired from the ministry. The sermons
are excellent. and no doubt much bet

season to season, unless they were all eaten,
which was likely to be the case.
One of the most delicious relishes ever
found in these covered jars, were the
stuffed mangoes. whole one was often
served on the table and what an array of
good things were found in 1t, tiny white
onions, little green radish pods, baby Gu

scent of good things. One step up 10 the

well TO the way Of the household.

when a meeting was arranged, in private
house, between the greatest American nov
elist and the greatest American song COM

songs, which took him back to the days Of
his youth, and gave Mr.. Mcdowell several
other poems in the hope that they might
bring equally good results. With all his
arduous professional duties at Columbia
University, Mr.. Mcdowell has found time

titled "F1rsside Tales" and are dedicated

by Smoldering Embers," is, indeed, as

CHINESE LOVE FOR GAMBLING.
CeIestiaIs Even Bet on the Number of
Seeds in an Orange.
London Mail.

LONDON Mall.
One of the most comon ways OF betting
In China is with oranges. This goes on at
the fruit stalls and also in private houses
The bet is on the number of seeds in an
orange. Sometimes il is as to whether the
number is odd or even and at others as tn
the exact number of seeds the orange con-
tains. If at a fruit stand the dealer will
pay the lucky guesser five times his bet
but the loser must pay the value of the
orange, also five times as much as he has
wagered
Quail fighting is done on a table with
little fence about its edge The fighting
quails have been starved for some time
As they are put into the pen a few grains
of wheat or rice are laid before them and
they at once begin to fight over them. They
are trained for the purpose and a good
fighter is worth 800 and upward
1t is the same with the crickets. Their
prize rings are little bowls. The crickets
have been trained. They seem to under
stand their masters word, and they are
urged on to the combat with straws The
Chinese understand how to feed and groom
the crickets for the fray. They give them
honey, boiled chestnuts, and boiled rice and
certain kinds of fish. They do not allow
any one to smoke near them, for they think
that tobacco injuries them. If the crckets
grow sick, they feed them upon mosquitoes
and red ants.
In cricket fight the crlckets are weighed
in before they are put in the ring. They
are matched as to size and color. The bet
ting is done just as carefully as at an
English horse race. The stakes are held
by a committee, which deducts a certain
percentage for those who own the fighting
houses. During the fight the gamblers
grow excited. They scream and yell and
hop up and down as one insect gets the
better of the other, and go almost mad
when one wins
The Chinese have all sorts of games, but
mostly games of chance. Even in kite
flying the boys ard mentor even the men
fly kiteS-wil try TO see which has the
strongest string, forcing his string against
the string of others to break them. In
such contests the strings are often soaked
with glue and busted with powdered glass
that they may cut or saw the better. At
every feast however there are games Of
guessing upon which money is staked.

AN OLD-FAsHIONED CELLAR.

Are there any housekeepers who would
not be willing to exhibit their cellars? My
mothers cellar was never on exhibition,
and have no recollection of any company
ever seeing it. But if it had been on exhi-
| bitiOn competing for a prize for cleanliness
and orderliness. it would have won it.
There were two kitchens in my old home.
| The entrance to the cellar was from the
winter kitchen. Opening a door from the
latter one faced flight of comfortable
stairs, painted a rather dark shade of yell
| low, and Immediately clean.
On the right side. even with the top step,
was long, narrow shelf, as clean and
shining as the stairs. At the end of this
narrow shelf was a short broad one ex-
tending across the stairway and within
easy reach from the stairs. These two
shelves were most convenient places for
many things in constant demand. At the
foot Of the stairs was the main room, that
is, the room most used. 1t had a smooth,
hard cement floor and was lighted by a
screened window in summer.
On one side an open closet Cor
might designate il set of shelves, neatly
painted drab. These shelves were a safe
place for jars of fruit, bowls of preserves,
glasses of jellies. pickles of various kinds
and many other good things.
In the center of this room there was a
substatial Swing Shelf (painted like the
side shelves). on which q still see them
were big platters of Old-fashiOned pink and
blue ware. On one of these platters there
rolls of fresh. sweet. golden butter
the best than could be made. On another
there were rolls of sausages or slices of
delicious ham. This shelf also was the place
for the new laid eggs. the freshly-boiled
ham, the cold roast beef, or fowls etc.
On the cool, clean floor in a secluded place
there were several covered jars. The con-
tents of these varied, but one would often
find in one of them tender sliced beets in
alternate layers with good cider vinegar
Sometimes one would find among the
picked beets a few hard-boiled eggs.
peeled but left whole. Sometimes one would
find small white onions with the beets.
In another jar, there was apple-butter
In others picked pigs feet. or head cheese,
or tripe, or all of these. In one big jar
were whole red tomatoes, that had been
picked when just beginning to turn red and
had ripened in the jar Short stems were
left on these and the vinegar over them
was only moderately sour. Bits of horse
radish were mingled with the tomatoes

When Mr. w. d. Howells was a very young
man-about nineteen or twenty-his idol
was the German poet Heine. His admira-
ton led him 10 try 10 write some verse In
the Heine vein, says the New York Post
The result was the three romantic and
picturesque poems entitled THE Sea,
Through the Meadow and els 1t the
Shrewd October Wind?" Now Heine hap
pens to be the poet most after the heart
of musical composers. Accordingly It is not
surprising that, about a decade ago, Ed
ward hacDowelIs keen musical instinct
led him TO discover these three HOwells
poems and to promptly set them to music.
