Historical Fragment.

James Monroe was putting the finish
ing touches on his famous doctrine. 'I've
got it hammered into shape at last" he
said, although l know, of course, there
will always be somebody knocking it, just
the same"
Remembering, however, that the Big
Stick was on the side of the doctrine, he
allowed his freshly barbered face to
wrinkle into the semhlance of a smile.

Mono, Mono, but I can see him!
So happy, so peaceful, he looks today.
Presently. this very evening, he will
come to me in the garden. He told
garden and I know he will keep his
promise, Momo.''
When the evening came, Tama and
Mono sat in the garden. 1t was the
time of f1re-f1ies.
do you know why insects always
come to the light, Momo?" said Tama
softly
mo, mother
Because, once upon a time, Princess
Fire-fiy was very troubled by the at
tentions of moths and dragon-fiies and
beetles. And SO when they came to
make love to her she told all her suit
ors that she would only be the wife Of
him who brought her fire. And so her
lovers went to the lamp and to the
fire of incense in their attempt to bring
back fire to the beautiful Princess
FREELY. Thousands and thousands of
them got burnt, and ever so many who
went to the shining sea never came
back again. That is why, Mono. you
see insects lowering round the light.
And your father. he, too, has gone in
quest of fire, and tonight he will bring
it back in his heart, Momo."
Mono did not answer, but ran away
in the direction of a dusky-hued moth.
Tama suddenly felt conscious of a
dear presence other than her child.
She looked up and there, standing
close beside her. was her lord in full
uniform and accoutrements.
'Yorimasa." exclaimed Tama aex-
itedly "Oh, my dear lord! Ny dream
was untrue, the dispatches were IN
true, TOO. You have come back TO
your little one with the lonely heart,
I knew you would come in the garden
when the fire-fiies make jewels in the
air Speak to me, Yorimasa!'
But Yorimasa did not speak. Through
the stiffness of the night Tama heard
once more the phantom trumpet-call
low and soft and beautiful. One
smile played across the face of Yori-
masa-and then he passed out into the
night.
As Tama lay PROSTATE on the
ground. she saw little Mono standing
up by a big piHe-tree thrusting out his

THE sAcREDNEss OF LETTERS.

A problem which must be nearly as
old as writing itself is whether hus-
bands should read their wives letters,
and vice versa. OF course, many Of
the communications received really
concern one as much as the other, but
when a married couple make a regular
practice of opening each others letters
1t does not seem fair to the CORE
spondents of either. For instance,
woman may have friends of her own
sex, who ask her advice and sympathy
in their worries, and it would decidedly
cause them to be less frank if they
imagined any eyes except hers would
read their outpourings. A husband and
wife may consider themselves to be the
same person, but their world is apt to
look upon them as two, and an init
macy with one does not always imply
an intimacy with both. Parents, too,
should respect their children's in
dividuality. Often girls and boys re-
ceive letters from their school COM
panions which might-the supreme
terror of sensitive youth-appear ''si1-
ly'' to grOwn-up readers, and they
should be allowed to keep them to
themselves without sighting remarks
being uttered about secrets" etc.
Children often suffer a martyrdom
from the tyranny Of their elders which
demands to know and see everything,
and robs them of the little innocent
mysteries so dear TO all of US. In one
large family it is the custom for ev-
eryone to pass their letters round the
table at breakfast time, a practice
which spreads CONSERVATION among the
friends of the various members when
it comes to their knowIedge-Black and
White.

NEW ONION RECIPES
GOOD DISHES MADE FROM ARo-
MATIc VEGETABLE.

What cooks would do II suddenly
deprived of the onion makes one shud-
der to think. There is no savory dish
without hint of its toothsome pres
ence. Its varied uses are legion; 1t
is not only valuable in cookery but is
useful incidentally. It is said that in
cases Of malaria the free use of onions
is wonderfully helpful, while onion
tea is one Of the latest aids in the
treatment of gail stones. Onions are
also good for those who are poor
sleepers, being soothing to the nerves.
Onions may be boiled, fried, stewed
or baked, or eaten raw as salad; in
fact, so general is their use that it
seems hardly possible to suggest a
new recipe, but here are two or three
that will be valuable,
Onion SouP.-Cup up four large
onions and brown them in six ounces
of butter for two minutes; add salt,
cayenne and a quart of stock; cook
slowly one hour, then add a large cup
of hot milk with two beaten eggs and
stir in quickly. Lay in the bottom
of the tureen toasted bread squares
sifted with Parmesan cheese and turn
the soup over them.
Baked Spanish onions.-Take four
Spanish onions and with a sharp knlfe
out out some of their centers; do not
pare them, but boil in salted water
one hour; take them out, dry them
and stuff them with grated cheese,
butter, pepper and salt Bake with q
moderate oven. When done they may
be eaten from the skin or the outer
skin removed and rich brown gravy
poured over them.
Onion Fritters.-Make batter as
for clam fritters and add three large
onions grated, pepper, salt, and dash
of celery salt. Fry in hot lard and
serve with English chops.

Lemon.elnger Apple Sauce Cake.

Stew five or six large apples with
the peel of one-half lemon. Cream
one cup of sugar, one-half cup each Of

Mix with the sugar one teaspoon Gin
namon, one-half allspice, one-half Glove.
Into the strained applesauce put one
teaspoon soda dissolved in little hot
water Mix liquid and dry ingredi-
ents. Add two cups of bread flour,
and last of all three-fourths of shred
ded preserved ginger root, over which
has been busted a tablespoon of
flour taken from the two cups Bake
three-fourths Of an hour. Use with
hot sauce for a pudding. Too dry
for cake usually.
