A Hearty Girl,

A whaling captain invited an Els.
kimo father and mother and daughter
to dine with him aboard his ship. The
daughter was only ten years old, and
yet she weighed 14O pounds.
When it came to eating and drink
ing she drank eight bottles of beer
and ate the same amount of food as
was prepared for three men. She was
so full when she got up from the table
that her father had to carry her to
his canoe, and she was hardly seated
in the craft when she cried out that
she was hungry and wanted more din
ner.
Her father said that she was con-
sidered delicate child, and he was
afraid she would not live to be wom-
an, but the whaling captain didn't look
at it that way. He was rejoiced that
he didn't have her for steady
bOarder.

ONIONS in DELICIOUS STYLE.
Variation from Usual Form In Which
They Are Served.

Bermuda onions and the silver.
skins grown in this country, which
are nearly as good, are delicious
when pierced with a fork. Drain and
place in shallow buttered baking
pan; pour over enough milk to cover
(about one cup), into which has been
stirred a tablespoon of tapioca; add
a half teaspoon Of butter, teaspoon
of salt and dash Of pepper. Place
in the oven and bake until light
brown on top, about 20 minutes.
Serve in the same dish. This is a
change from the ordinary creamed
onions; the tapioca is a delightful ad.
dition.
The ordinary method for baking by
putting in pie tin with an inch Of
water and letting cook in a slow oven
brings toothsome results. Stewed
onions when parboiled are relieved of
the odor and aftermath of taste that
annoys some people.

Value Of Old cIove..

The house worker should never

most useful in protecting the hands
while busting, sweeping or wiping
dishes. AS women often complain
that they feel clumsy in doing their
work with gloves on, by simply cut.

ton is overcome. "A very good pair of
gloves which laces up the palm of the
hands and is bought several sizes
larger than the ordinary wearing
glove is the ideal working glove. But
large old gloves do as well.

The MIsehIexou. Beaver.

The proverbial industry of the
beaver is not highly appreciated Just
now by the lumbermen of Maine. They
assert that they are losing heavily
this season through the damming Of
streams by this ingenious animal. The
ponds thus formed have flooded hun
dreds of acres of timber land, making
great deal of valuable lumber quite
inaccessible. In other cases good log
ging streams have been made useless
by the diversion of large volume of
water from the regular watershed to
other channels in which it is of no
service. A demand will, therefore, be
made at the next session of the state
legislature for the repeal of the act
by which the beaver is protected.

TO PUT A CAKE TOGETHER.
Method That Is Said to Avoid Posi-.
bility of Failure.

The following way of putting cake
together never fails: Work the butter
and sugar to a cream, beat the whites
and yolks of eggs separately (the
whites to stiff froth, the yolks to
cream), then add yolks to the creamed
butter and sugar; afterward add the
milk, then the flavoring, next the
whites of the eggs and lastly the -four
by degrees.
If fruit is added, dredge flour over
it, stirring it in slowly and thoroughly
before the flour.
Where the recipe calls for baking
powder and you are out of it, use soda
and cream of tartar in teaspoonful
of boiling water, adding it to the cake
before adding the whites of the eggs.
When sour milk is used always use
soda, not baking powder.

Beef Cherips.

Chop one pound of tender round
steak, very fine, and add one-half
pound Of chopped salt pork. Add one
half teaspoonful of pepper and one
fourth teaspoonful of mustard. Make
about two and one-half cups of biscuit
dough. Roll the dough out until it is
about one-half inch thick. Cut the
dough into rounds about four inches
across. With the chopped meat, and
the rounds of dough. make small
dumplings, pinching the dough to-
gether in ball shape, the meat being
inside. Put the balls or "cherips" in a
baking pan that has been buttered.
Bake about a half hour in a moderate
oven. When done, put on hot plat.
ter and garnish with sprigs of parsley.

Admiral Wouldn't Be eIuffed.

The kaiser is quick eater and the
instant he lays down his knife and
fork the walters make descent upon
the plates Of all at table, whether
they have finished or not and clear
for the next course. One day the EN-.
peror had on his right an old admiral
whose racy bluntness of speech he
much relishes. The old salt is also
bit of a gourmet, and it so hap.
pened that one of the dishes was his
own peculiar favorite. But the EN-.
peror piled him so with questions and
talk-perhaps of malice prepense-
that the old fellow could scarcely get
a chance for mouthful before the
sovereign's knife and fork were laid
down and there was the regulation
clearance rush. A grasp had already
been laid on the admiral's plate, but.
red with anger, he dug his fork into
the intruding hand with a gruft
"Get QUIT" and went on with a relish
amid a general roar of laughter.

70 SEQ Him Act Was Like Reading
Shakespeare by Liwhtning,

SAHkSbpcare py L18htAIn8s
Before the third century after the
birth Of Shakespeare had reached its
first quarter there was born in England
to stage carpentc, and a strolling &C
tress a child destined to grapple with
the poets highest thought and inter-
pref 1t with vividness that to this
day stands uprivalcd. Coleridga's terse
comment that to see him act was read
Ing Shakespeare by lightning, reveals
him with the fullness Of volume. Ed
mund Kean, along with most people
early trained to an art, had little II any
education of the schools. He was when
q boy provided with instruction by
some benevolent people whom his
smartness and beauty attracted, but he
rebelled against the tasks of study and
went to sea. But life there was too
rough for his fine nature. He returned
to England and at the age Of seven be-
gan the study of Shakespeare's charac-
tiers with his Uncle Moses. This he
continued with an actress named lids
well, who taught him, besides, as we'll
as she knew, the principles of her art.
at an early age he had the credit Of
originality so surprising as even then
to challenge the supremacy Of Philip
Kemble. At fourteen he played Ham
let. King George had him recite at
Windsor castle, and it is said this Incl
dent led some gentlemen to se9d him
to Elton, but there is 20 record Of it.
At twenty he was In provincial troop

GUS night at prury Lane, his life was
one Of hardship, struggle, obscurity
but, thanks to the faith In himself, moi
hopeless. His London debut was made
at twenty-eight. He had fought for II
hard and long and would then have
missed 1t but for the falling reputation
Of the theater. London debuts In frs

Water I'm ola London.

London's original water supply, says
the Chicago Daily News, was the river
Thames, and every apprentice was sup
piled with a water tankard for trans
porting liquid to the house. AS early az
1479 there were water thieves" 'for
in this yere a wex chandler in Fleet
street had bi craft perced pipe Of the
condit withynne the ground, and so
convicted the water into his selar;
wherefore he was jugid to ride thrugh
the citee with a condit upon his hedde."
The first official water supply for Lon
don was made in Germany. In 1882
Peter Maurice, German, made an EN-
CINE at London bridge by which water
was conveyed in lead pipes to the citi-
zens' houses, and he and his descend
ants became rich on the proceeds.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Carelessness Is the great sin Of most
people.
If man doesn't acquire little sense
with age he cheats himself.
If man owns pocketknife 1t is
hard for him to pass grindstone.
Say what you please about moral
courage, the man who has lot OF 1t
is mighty unpopular.
Make the stories you tell on rainy
day as short as possible, especially II
you tell them under an umbrella.
There is very little use trying to con
vince a man who meets your state
ment with this argument: "Tll bet
you" etc.
No matter how highly you may value
your own opinion. remember 1t does
not go with other people unless they
think exactly as you do, which, by the
way, they seldom do.-Atchison Globe.

A TREE OF ILL REPUTE.
The Fresh Juice of the Upas Acts ms
Deadly Poison,

An evil reputation has long been
borne by the upas tree, Ant.aris toxi-
caria, which grows In Borneo and 9TH
or East Indian islands. 1t Is still
common belief that birds flying with
in the influence Of its poisonous va
pors instantly perish and that 1t is ia
tai for animals or men to rest be-
meath its shade. 1t resembles certain
rhus plants Qike the poison Ivy in
emitting q volatile substance which
affects the skins Of certain suscepti-
BILE persons, though others are unaf-
fected. The sap Is very poisonous and
is the. chief substance used by the
Dyaks of Borneo for poisoning the tips
of their darts.
In this process an incision is made
in the bark Of the tree and the milky
emulation collected on palm leaf
and dried first in the sun and then
over fire until thick brown mass
is left. In this state 1t can be kept
without deteriorating, and when re-
quired for use 1t Is made into thin
paste with the juice Of tuba" root
which Is used to stupefy fish, or with
tobacco or lemon juice, and the ends OF
the darts dipped into the mixture and
dried. These darts are made from the
middle stem Of the palm leaf and are
about six or eight inches In length and
Of about the thickness Of a knitting
needle.
They are used with wooden sumpi
tan, or blowpipe, which Is about seven
or eight feet In length and has an in
ternal diameter Of about one-quartei
inch. A bird struck by one Of these
little darts is instantly killed. and
pig dies In about twenty Minutes
The fresh juice Of the upas tree
whether swallowed or injected int
the blood, acts as a violent poison
causing commissions and death.-Chi
