IN THE FOG.

of the autumn morning.
HE is gone" said Lily. 81 feel as
if I was going to despair again"
"He will be back soon, let us walk
about. But we will keep near this
place for fear of missing him"
"Katharine"-llo one ever anticipat-
ed, prophesied. and realized the future
so clearly and so wholly as Lily
understand exactly what is going to
happen. We shall 60 to the baker. He
will be, of course, a master baker, the
Queens chief baker, perhaps. He will
be a friendly baker, and he will talk
English much worse than Dittmer; we
shall stay with him for a week or two,
and then we shall 60 into the shop and
keep accounts, or perhaps sell loaves
and rolls and buns across the counter.
I shall like selling the buns better than
keeping accounts. But you will keep
the accounts. Either occupation will be
much better than teaching horrid chill
dren. And then, you know. when We
have quite got used to the life and
forgotten all about Harley street, and
remember only the misery of starv-
ing gentility, there will come along a
handsome young baker, Of German
| origin, and we %shall-that is, I shall
| go off to church with him, and keep
his shop for him ever after"
ut will be an honorable life. And
oh! what does it matter to you and
me now whether we call ourselves gen.
tlewomen or not"
Nothing, my dear. But I wish
Dittmer would come back"
Where the fog came from I know
not. But it fell upon them swiftly and
unexpectedly. First, it turned the sun
into a copper disk about the size of a
warming pan, and then it shut him out
from view altogether. And first that
! fog blurred the branches of the trees,
and then it clothed them. and covered
them up with white clouds, and then
it became yellow, and caused the peo-
pie who breathed it to cough and

"Katharine,. let ; stay quite Still.
Let us sit here and not move for fear
of losing him. This will not last long"
1t was a terrible fog; it was the well
known and historical fog when the peo'

thither. they found that the fog had
filled the church so that nothing could
be seen except the nearest lamps, and
il any were in the streets they either

they rambled miserably about losing
themselves.
1t was not until 8 o'clock next morn

were able to look about again. and t

BY that time, as you will see. it wa:

Only Live Financial Problem.

The liquor question is the only live
financial problem before the people to.
day. According to the American
Grocer this country pays out annually
one and on~e-quarter billion dollars for
drink, and the indirect cost-poverty,
crime, loss-is equal to three-quarters
of a billion dollars more. That is i've
times as much as America pays for
bread, eleven times as much as it pays
for education, thirteen times as much
as it pays for its religion and churches,
and one hundred and seven times as
much as it pays for its home and for
eign. missions. 1t is four times as big
as the Steel Trust, eight times as big as
the tariff, and compared with the free
silver question is sixteen to one"
That is the great and only financial
question in American politics to-day,
and the only financial question that is
likely to absorb the thought of this
country for years to come.-The Index.

Flow to Cook Fish.

Mrs. Rorer, in the course of a lee
ture, gave the following directions for
cooking fish:
Fish like meat must be put either
into a hot oven or into boiling water
to coagulate the juices on the out
side and keep the fiavoring in. A fish
may be planked wholly on the board.
The time of cooking does not depend
upon the weight of the fish. A roast
of beef, for instance, the heavier-the
greater the time Of cooking. A fish
takes it's weight in length rather than
in thickness, so we do not increase ma
terially the time Of cooking. Cold
cooked fish may be made into a num-
Der of dainty entrees. like outlets,
cusk a la creme, c%roQuettes, scalloped
fish, or mixed with mashed potatoes
and made into cakes.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY

We shall do 30 much in the years to Gomez
But what have We done to-day?
We shall give our gold in a princely sum-
But what did we give to-day?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
We shall speak the words of love and
cheer; ~.
But what did we speak to-day? i
We shall be 80 kind in the after while,
But what nave we been to-day?
We shall bring to each lonely life a smile,
But what have we brought to-day?
We shall give to truth a grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls Of earth,
But whom have we fed to-day?
We shall reap such joys in the by and by.
But what have we sown to-day?
We shall build us mansions in the sky, ,
But what nave we built to-day? !
IT'S sweet in idle dreams to bask,
But here and now do we do our task?
Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask,
What have we done today" +

Delicious Mustard Dressing

Delicious mustard is made by first
slicing an onion in a bowl and covering
it with vinegar. Let this stand forty
eight hours, when pour off the vinegar
into another bowl, add a little red
pepper, salt, sugar, and enough dry
mustard to thicken to a cream. The
proportions should be a ~teasroonful
of the pepper and salt and twice that
of sugar, but tastes differ somewhat
as to the quantity of sweet used.

How's This

Sixteen hundred and seventy-four
millions of dollars are expended for
liquors yearly in the United States.
Now, in order to get some idea of this
vast sum of money, let US consider a
few facts.
First-Suppose these are silver dol.
lars; eight silver dollars piled on top
of each other would measure one inch,
so this amount Of money would make
a pile 33O2h miles high.
'Second-A one dollar bill is seven and
one-half inches in length; if this
amount of money were all composed Of
one dollar bills, placed end to end, they
would reach around this earth Of ours
nearly eight times. 49,.
Third-suppose a one dollar bill
would cover fifteen inches Of ground.
how many acres Of land would this
amount cover if laid together? You
would have a farm containing 4OO3R
acres. Then suppose that $500 would
support a family Of four for a'year;
it would support 3,34S,0O0 families, or a
city containing 13, 600 inhabitants.
Again, suppose that $500 equal a
pound; then this amount would weigh
2T90 tons.-Wm. ]. Hazen.

TIE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANcE.

Tbs Saloon is an Evil Thing, Says
Robert j. Burdette, That Hat Not
Ono Redeeming Feature in Its His
tory to Commend 1t to Good Men
The well-known writer, Robert j.
Burdette, has expressed himself many
times as opposed to the saloon. Re
Gently a fight against the saloon was
made in Pasadena, CAL, and In the
course of the discussion the saloon
men stated that Burdette favored their
side of the controversy. This state
ment called forth an emphatic denial
from Burdette, and from that reply
we take the following extracts:
about the power OF prohibltory
laws to prohibit-the laws of the State
against murder do not entirely prevent
murder. But, nevertheless, 1 am op-
posed to licensing one murder to every
so man. thousand persons, even on
petition of a majority Of the property
owners in the block, that we may have
all the murder that is desirable in the
community under wise regulations,
with a little income for the municipal
ity. I believe in the absolute proh1bl-
ton of murder.
1.-THE laws of the country prohibiting
stealing do not prevent stealing. New
ertheless, 1 am opposed to a high IL
cense system of stealing, providing
that all theft shall be restricted to GER
tain authorized thieves, who shall steal
only between the hours of, say, 6 a.
m. and 11.30 p. M, except Sunday,
when no stealing shall be done except
by stealth; entrance to be made in all
cases on that day by the back door, and
at the thief's risk. 1 believe in laws
that absolutely forbid theft at any
hour on any day Of the week.
'If the saloon men insist in quoting
me on this topic, let them commit this
to memory, that they may repeat 1t as
they need it: l do not know n good
thing about the saloon. 1t is an evil
thing that has not one redeemlng
feature in it's history to commend it to
good men. 1t breaks the laws of God
and man. 1t desecrates the Sabbath;
it profanes the name Of religion; it de-
files public order; it tramples under
foot the tenderest feeling of humanity;
it is a moral pestllence that blights
the very atmosphere of town and coun'
Try; it is a stain upon honesty; q blur
upon purity; a clog upon progress; a
check upon the nobler impulses; it is
