A Russian Boy.

A Japanese officer at Mullden, writ
Ing to his brother in England, describes
the rout of the Russian army. An in
cident he describes is printed in the
London Times. Among the wounded
Russians upon the field was a boy Of
barely sixteen, a drummer boy, shot
through both legs. He held rosary in
his hand, praying.
Pointing to the red cross upon the
arm of a bearer, l called out in Chi

He was so thirsty that my bottle was
not enough for him, so another half
Of the bearers bottle was given to him,
too, and he had some biscuits. I had a
strong yearning to ask him about his
name, but no, he is weak, and his spirit
must be kept up.
"Your wound is nothing; the Japa-
nese hospital attendants will be here
soon and take you away. And soon
you will be able to go home to your

coats, 1 was just walking away when

Her First Turkey.

1t was the day before THANKSGIVING,
Mrs. Rays first one as the mistress Of
a home. Mary, the cook, had been
hurriedly called away by the sickness
Of her mother. Fortunately, the des-
serts had already been made. But there
was the turkey to be stuffed and
roasted.
Mrs. Ray before her marriage had
been a teacher Of embroidery, and she
knew very little about cooking. She
did not feel well enough acquainted
with the neighbors to ask them how
to prepare the turkey.
With determined air she went into
the kitchen, put on Mary's big blue
Bingham apron, rolled up her sleeves
and with a shudder attacked the tur-
key.
No cook book could be found, so the
stufting had to be from an original
recipe.
After the stuffing was made and
coaxed into the turkey, the question
arose how to keep it there during the
roasting. Mrs. Ray was sorely puz-
zled. Then happy thought came to
her. She made two buttonholes, sewed
on pearl buttons, and buttoned the stuff
fing in.

FIVE HOT BATHS IN A DAY.

South African Woman Thinks IL
Necessary for Infants Health.
A traveller in south Africa gives
some interesting incidents about the
women there. The mother gives her
infant four or five hot baths a day,
considering it necessary for the health
and growth Of the child. After the
bath the baby is rubbed with a sort
Of paint prepared by mixing soft clay
with oil. Its toilet completed, it Is
fed and placed on it's mat by the fire
to sleep.
"A mother does not leave her young
child in her kraal when she goes out to
gather wood, fetch water or work her
farm, but carries it on her back in
sling, which, by the way, is made by
the man of the household. The babies
principal food, as soon as they have
learned to drink from a gourd, is the
whey which their mothers draw from
the clabbered milk prepared in great
quantities for the men Of the house
hold
You must not fancy that the wom-
en- think Of themselves in preparing
the food for the family. A woman's
taste is Of too little Importance. In
deed, think such thing is not known
to exist. Food is prepared for the hus-
band and his friends according to his
orders and if there should be anything
left over then the women and girls
may eat it in another part of their lit
tie hut. If not, they must satisfy their
hunger with whey or fruits, for which
the men are known to care little.
1.-THE meals for the men usually con-
sist Of several courses, of which boiled
or broiled meat or fish is the first; then
follow vegetables Of several varieties,
fruits, the clabber Of which I have
spoken, and a sort Of hasty pudding,
made Of corn meal with coarse brown
sugar sprinkled over it. Cooking is
one Of the many duties performed by
the women and most Of it is done in
the same vessel, an iron pot with a
second pot of the same size fitted over
it as a cover. In these clumsy vessels
they manage to do very creditable
cooking. Besides boiling their meats,
vegetables and buildings, they manage
to steam loaf of bread.
Their houses or husband each
woman has one-are circular in shape.
They are SO low that she can stand
erect only in the center. The Zulu
woman keeps it remarkably clean, con-
sidering the fact that not only she and
her family abide in it, but that when
night comes the goats, dogs, calves and
chickens come in and sleep in their
respective corners. The door that peo-
pie and animals creep through is only
about two and One-half feet high"

Ing away the shadows. They built
fire on the hearth in the very heart Of
me and l began to feel life pulsating
through my dry old boards. After
while the man went away to get their
belongings, 1 heard him say. The
girl walked with him to the door and
they kissed each other goodbye as if
their partings were for always instead
Of for an hour. It is comforting to
have youth and love within my walls
once more. I've missed them both for
so long.
''The girl watched the man out Of
sight and then came back to me,
grooming happy, little song. She went
through all Of me with housewifely
care and a tiny frown Of RESPONSE
bility ON her brow. 1t was funny to
watch her.
Dear, dear she said, such an aw-
full lot of dust everywhere. What a
shame to neglect this beautiful old
place.
Il love that girl.
''He came back in very short time,
considering what he had to do, and
they're here to live. 1 suppose some
day they'll go away like all the rest
Of my people, but won't think about
that now. Their names are Dearest
and Sweetheart, at least 1 have not
heard them call each other by any
different, but they're names l love,
and it's years since they've been
spoken within my walls.
There's home fire burning on the
hearth in the heart of me. It's good
to be alive and warm at the heart. 1t
brings back youth and happiness to be
warm at the heart" Toledo Blade.
