He Knows Just When, What and
How to Do or Not 20 Do.
A really fine specimen Of the guest
who does lis best has q spirit Which
cannot be broken by weather or Weari-
ness. He can manage to talk to any
one, even if he should discover with
shock that he is sitting next to his
worst enemy. He knows how to come
into any discussion and how to keep
out of it. He does not seek his own
amusement. yet be never fails to show
that he is amused. He is tolerant OF
every opinion. and though he may have
many convictions of his own and may
state them SO as to do them justice be
never tries to proselytize.
His visit is not q mission, and be
never for O moment fancies himself on
the hustings, in q debating society, a
pulpit or a court Of justice. Above all,
he has a good opinion Of himself. Good
wine needs no bush. He has no desire
to boast, but he is certain that be will
not be sighted. If his hostess assigns
to him dull job be is sure it is because
she thought he could do it we'll, and If
be feels it to be really below his powers
he takes her mistake into account not
while be is under her roof, but when
be next receives her kind invitation.
He is not plagued By that craving OF
the oversensitive to be like their COM
pany nor does be belong to that race OF
born dissenters who would always rath-
er be different.
But, alas, conscience and talent do
not always so together. There are some
high principled guests who are terrible
bores. In their solicitude to be agree
able they never stop talking, but pursue
their garrulous ideal like a dog follow
ing q carriage. To every interruption
they give immediate but momentary
attention and run breathless on.-Lon-
don Outlook.

sThere were two nice little women in
our village who came on us one even
ing, and we offered them popcorn
which the children had just brought
In from the kitchen. They refused,
but not so cmphatically as to keep US
from giving them two heaping plates
of the corn. We kept reflling the
plates and they kept crunching all the
evening. There was something so funny
about it that called them The Pop
corn Ladies' and the name has stuck
to them so that the whole village knows
them by it.
"I once knew a man who talked in
cessantly in high pitched Eoice, and
q bright girl dubbed him The Chirper.'
The name was quickly passed around
among the young people, and now the
greater part of his friends know him
by that name. A dignifed young wom-
an Of my acquaintance goes by the
name of 'Whont' to this day because
when she was a little girl she used to
call herself Mrs. Whont' when she
played grownup ladies, and the family
picked it up. She simply can't shake
the absurd name.
More than one red haired man IS
known by the name Of Pink and phil
osophically accepts the title. I have an
acquaintance who holds q responsible
position who is known by the name Of
'Dotty.' 1t seems that one day a mis-
chievous girl discovered that he had
three prominent dimplcs. She promptly
dubbed him 'Dotty Dimple,' and now
be is known to al! his associates as
'Dotty.' Another man of my acquaint-
ance is always called 'Bluebeard be-
cause he has such a white and thin
skin that if he does not shave daily his
beard shows blue through 1t. That
name, too. came through woman's
quick wit.
I'm n certain household very fem
inine little woman is still called The
Boy because when she was a young
girl she went through a'serious illness
which made it necessary to cut her hair
short. Her younger sister said she was
the boy Of the family, and the dainty
lady is still called by that absurd
name.
"An effeminate nan was once called
viola By one of the boys in the Office,
and now we know him by nothing else.
Another one Of the boys in the Office Is
always called 'Cbesty,' and. though be
got angry ut first. he has cheerfully ac-
cepted the new name now.
"Our bookkceper Is always putting IN
his oar when it is not at all necessary,
and think now he will be known un-
til the end Of time as General Butts
A friend Of mine who is always called
Cheerful does not know whether he Is
called that because his friends believe
he has a cheerful disposition or because
they consider him q cheerful idiot. But
at any rate, he can't shake the name"

Robert Barr, the author, told with

a friend of his, came to London and
sent his address to Barr. The latter

know the street and, asking bus man
if his vehicle passed such and such

corner house in this street and added
that be had a delightful garden and
high wall. when I got down from the
bus" says Mr. BarE 81 found that the
corner house had a high wall and
doubtless behind it q delightful garden,
which answered perfectly the descrip-
ton which Captain Mayne Reid had
given me.
''I said to a policemen, because
wanted to be sure, Gould you tell me
where Mr.. Reid lives? And be an

mitted and asked If Mr.. Reid was at

shown into a room on the left hand

some time, an old, slippered man came

"who had most eloquent way OF
pleading. His brief for three days had
been q marvel Of classical allusion and
legal erudition.

intinated that the docket was some

BAKED APPLES.
The Way to Make u Convenient and
Delicious Dessert.

The difference between apple sauce
stewed quickly over the fire and that
baked slowly for several hours in q
moderate oven is so great that one
could easily believe that different fruits
had been used. Each method, If care
fully followed, produces delicious re-
suit, and, while some persons have q
strong preference for one or the other,
to my mind 1t IS difficult to decide
which is the better way. Therefore 1t
is v4ell to use both methods, cooking
the first apples that come in midsum-
mer by stewing, and later, when the
cool days Of early autumn make fire
less Objectionable, trying the baking.
The dish for baking IS as important
as that for beans baked properly and
also for Indian puddings, and should be
the same in style and material. Cut
the fruit (and you may use in this way
any kind Of apples or pears which are
too green or hard to use uncookcd) into
quarters; then remove the cores and
skins. Allow one cup Of sugar and
one-half cup Of water to two quarts Of
fruit. The amount vii! vary with diff
ferent apples, and it Is important not
to use too much sugar, for the long
cooking seems to develop the natural
sweetness Of the fruit. Cover them
closely and cook in q slow oven four
or five hours or until they have deep
rich red color. If they cook too fast,
the steam will cause them to burst and
run over the edge and rest in g
mushy sauce, but moderate heat,
long continued, will leave each quarter
distinct in the clear sirup. Let it cool
in the pan and turn it out without any
stirring Of the fruit This may be
poured, at occe into sterilized Jars and
sealed the same as canned fruit, if you
are not likely to use it all soon. AS
sauce for breakfast or dinner 1t IS
acceptable; with cream and hot biscuit
for supper it is delicious, and as I'LL:
ing for pastry shells it IS convenient

CHILDREN ARE SANE.
But Grownup People, Most OF Then
Are More or Less Insane.

But Grownup People, Most OF Them,
Are More or Less Insane.
There is one disadvantage which IS
involved in the very nature Of educa-
t;on-that is, that we have to assume
that grownup people are representa-
tive. We have even to 80 the length
Of assuming that grownup people are
sane. When We talk about encouraging
health in children and discouraSing
morbidity, when we talk Of such and
such a child being abnormal or inter-
esting or neurotic or genius, we are
all the time taking for granted that we
ourselves have attained to what IS
profitable and eternal in human nature.
But there is at least something that
may reasonably be said upon the other
side. 1t may at least very plausibly
be maintained that it is children who
are, age after age, sane and reliable
and grownup people who are, age aft
er age, more or less fantastic and dis
concerting. The great majority Of
gEownup people in any age will be in
all probability slightly insane; for since
no human philosophy is perfect, and
since every human philosophy natural
l. treats itself rs IL It were perfect, the
chances are in every generation that
the majority Of educated people will be
ecstaticaiiy certain OF something that
is quite untrue. Children, on the other
hand, it might be maintained, repre-
sent the actual primary and untouched
human nature. Whatever agrees with
that Is sane; whatever disagrees with
it is eccentric Children are always
children. or, to limit the matter with
more precision. babies. at any rate, are
always babies. But few Will be so
paradoXica! rs to maintain that men
are always men or women always To-
nen.-RlacE and White.

THE GAVE OF GHOSTS.
This Is One OF the Wonder Places OF
New South Wales.


New South Wales.
One Of the curiosities Of Oakley
creek, n. S. W., Is q cave which very
few people care to enter. 1t is OF the
usual order Of stalacttte and stalag-
mite shapes and figures, but in order
to get inside it the visitor must crouch
down and squeeze himself through g
narrow opening and grope Ns way in
the inky darkness for few yards till
he can stand erect and light torch.
AS soon as he has done this he sees
saintly the weird shapes assumed by
the water dripping from the limestone
and be hears q whirring noise. Ele
feels inclined to make his exit at once,
but be hears something moving all
round him. and presently something
touches him.
He concludes that there are uncanny
spirits about, and this sensation IS null
tiplied many times In intensity when
on turning to retracc his steps he finds
himself confronted by tall, ghostly
figure.
If the visitor has strong nerve or
has been forcwarned, which IS not al
ways the case, he recognizes that the
ghostly figure is senseless block form
ed by the dripping from the limestone,
and that the moving creatures are
bats.
There is one part Of the cave which
Sc
called the blowhole. One adventurous
visitor was about to squeeze himself
through this narrow aperture when it
occurred to him to throw q stone
through. He did so, listening for the
stone to touch bottom, and the dull
sound that finally reached him con-
vinced him that there was sheer
drop of 200 feet on the other side OF
the blowbolc.
