NATURAL KITCHENS.
Places Where Cooking Is Done In
Boiling Springs.

Places Where Cooking Is Done In
Boiling Springs.
There are one or two countries-Ice-
land, for example-where washday Is
not dreaded, because nature provides
the hot water at ones very door In the
shape of steaming springs Of spouting
geysers. But there is only one country
where the native women do practically
all their cooking by unaided nature,
and that is the North island Of New
Zealand. Here is a wonderland Of a
thousand square miles so volcanic that
a fire may be lighted by inserting a
few sticks in the earth, and wherever
one makes a hole he speedily has pool
of boiling water, into which pudding
may be lowered incased in cloth and
cooked expeditiously.
Frequently in perfectly cold streams
boiling hot current may be seen and
felt running along the edge Of the
river, and here the Maori women do
their own and the white mans wash
ing Naturally the volcanic region of
New Zealand is a dangerous country to
wander in without a guide, and many
tourists have lost their lives as the re-
suit of such carelessness. Maori serv-
ants boil coffee and eggs in this way

WITH sort or smart. AT the second lie
sprang forward, with cry, seized her
and threw her over the bush and then
disappeared in the darkness.
She screamed, Of course. A dozen
neighbors and half the police force
were routed out, to find the girl in
Mysteries, and 1t was half an hour be-
fore she could tell her story About
the same time 1t was found that a
nearby house had been burglarlzed.
There were black and blue marks on
Miss Jennie's arms where he had
seized her, and there was no doubt
that she must have been thrown ten
feet high to clear the bush.
There was much excitement for the
next hour or two and lots more fat
copy for the Daily Herald Then one
of the police force named Woodenhead
proved that he had been wrongly
named for long years. He had been
thinking over the catlike approach,
the bruises and the strength of the
assailant, SO he nodded his head and
went down to the tent holding the
grand aggregation and arrested Pro-
fessor Gordon and his big chimpanzee.
The feet of the latter were found to
be covered with the dust of the high
way, and buried In the earth under
his masters tent was found most of
the plumber, The big monkey had not
only been used to do tricks to amuse
an audience Int 70 earn dishonest
profits for his master The Daily Her
aid had three column account of the
affair, but there was one exciting Incl
dent that "our reporter" did not Sc
cure. 1t occurred about o'clock in
the morning, just as Jennie Wren was
recovering her fright George Wat
son called at the widows house, and
the door was opened to him by the
widows daughter.
''Well, sir, what is it?' she asked,
with her heart in her mouth
He did very cool thing in reply.
He bent forward and kissed her. and
when she tried to draw away he kissed
her again, and presently both were ex-
planning and telling how sorry they
were and they would never do it again
and
Well. you know how those things go.
II you don't, then you have missed a
good thing and don't deserve to be
told that the happy couple were mar
ried in the fall and life went we'll with
them forever after.

WORKS OF A WATCH.
All the Parts Are hut the Expressfo
of One Idea

All the Parts Are hut the Expression
of One Idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism of watch its handspring
or the balance wheel is a mere piece Of
metal. He may have looked at the face
Of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of its hands and the time it
keeps he may have wondered In idle
amazement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part separately, and he will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela
ton between them, but put them to-
gether, set them to work, point out the
Offices of each spring, wheel and cog,
explain their movements and then
show him the result. Now he perceives
that it is all one design; that, notwith-
standing the number of parts, their di-
verse forms and various offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece is of
one idea. He now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered its relation to all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on this wheel are cut and
regulated adapted-to the ratchets on
that, etc, and his final conclusion will
be that such a piece of mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation Of the parts
is such as to show it to be according to
design and obedient to the will Of one
intelligence.

dreamed or ner.
The next morning at breakfast he
found himself unaccountably agitated.
She was not In the room when he ar
rived, and all the other boarders, even
the pretty young girl with the quiet
gray eyes, seemed to him like so many
6gureheads. What II he had not really
seen her yesterday? What IL it had
all just been In the dream last night?
But at last she came, and the beauty
of no radiant goddess could have
pierced so straight into his breast as
did this woman's tired loneliness. In
her simple white morning gown she
seemed to him the soul of sensitive del
icacy and serenity.
He recalled how, being essentially
feminine, she always pitied suffering.
So now he made his strained wrist a
pretext for being near her. She her
self ministered to him, binding 1t firm
ly and gently. Her breath, sweet as an

Mr.. Walsh's intended week was pro-
longed to fortnight. During that time
his eyes followed Mrs. Burgess, and
indeed his feet did also, very much
more frequently than she herself ap-
proved. She thought of her position,
her children, Of what might be ridicu-
lous In the situation, of the gossip and
espionage of the guests. Once or twice
she had heard a few scoffings, with a
note of mirth, at the devotion of Mr..
Walsh, and 1t had made her super
sensitive.
But all of these trivial objections
vanished like mist before the sun on
the day when he laid his heart bare
before her, when he showed her that
beneath his apparent prosperity he was
hungry-he had always been hungry
for companlonship and sympathy.
"And you could make me so happy,
oh, so happy, dear, If you would marry
me-" he was saying as they walked
slowly along the road the day before
his departure. Her arm lay lightly
upon his, her eyes were shining, and
there was a warm girlish tint In her
pale cheeks.
won't you? l need you sou he
pleaded. Just then they were passing
huge willow tree.
Now, yelled and Swallowed from the
world by the willows dropping green,
sitting on the lush grass were two
young people to whom love had just
sung its first sweet song. Naturally
they'd started a bit when they heard
approaching footsteps, but they might
have spared the start Neither of them
was observed.
II always did think Mrs. Burgess was
sweet looking, Billy" said Miss Ty-
son, absently pressing cool, bending
branch of willow across her hot cheek.
"but just then she looked positively
beautiful"
Eyes, sweetheart" acquiesced the
wise Billy. "Why shouldn't she? She's
having her st. Martins summer, you
see"

1t was that most gracious season of
all the year perhaps-St. Martins sum-
mer-when the spirit of ripeness which
seems to have fed once more holds the
land with its intoxicating breath. The
fields were studded with tiny Michael
mas daisies, and the hedgerows were
brilliant with early goldenrOd. but
somehow you fancied you smelled the
scent of the roses and mignonette as

There was quite a group of people
out on the small hotel veranda, and
most of them were gossiplng. Spin
ming up the poplar shaded country road
was a smart little trap. Across the
tennis courts the occupants were plain
ly visible. They were James Walsh
and Mrs. John Burgess.
II say, girls" cried one of the group
ON the veranda, ''it's crying shame to
let that elderly person cut us out with
the richest man we have up here
crying shame, that's what 1t is! And
I don't think any of us has an atom Of
grit or go or we'd take the wind out
of Mrs Burgess sailsp'
"Why, she must be all Of hundred"
exclaimed another.
'They say that Mr.. Walsh knew her
years ago. Wonder where he picked
her up. In the ark, guess"
"Oh, my dear, long before that"
drawled another mockingly. Long
before Noah's time women had ceased
to do their hair ia that absurd fash
lon"
Then the quiet girl with the en-
broidery on her lap spoke softly:
''She has a lot of hair, anyhow, and
it's beautiful, and the way she dresses
1t suits her features. She reminds me

Billy's words were ambiguous
enough, but the comprehensive little
sweep which he made with his glance
and sun Drowned hand, including We
randa, girls and all, was inimitably
droll. Miss Tyson's gray eyes laughed
appreciatively.
They were such nice understanding
gray eyes, thought Billy. Twas a
shame that embroidery should engross
so much of their attention. Even now
she showed signs of taking it up
again, and to avoid such a catastrophe
Billy proposed game of tennis.
"All right" said Miss Tyson cheer
fully, folding the bit of linen about the
tiny hoop and slowing 1t away In a
tiny bag.
The fancied likeness between Mrs.
John Burgess and the Madonna Of

A well known Allegheny clergyman
recently spoke at a religious service in
the penitentiary in Woods Run. He
noticed that one of the convicts seem

the service he sought him out and con-
tinued the good work by remarking:

my remarks just now and become
new man"

ply. "In fact, promise to you that
will never commit another crime, but
will lead an exemplary life to my dy-

that" said the clergyman, "but are you
certain you will be able to keep the
promise"
"Oh, yes" said the convict; I'm in
jail for life" -Harper's Weekly
