What He Eornor

AT dinner in Philadelphia" said
a clergyman, 81 once heard the lam
ented Bishop Potter talk in a most
amusing manner about the artistic
temperament.
First he described the contradlc
tions In the characters OF Whistler
Poe, Hawthorne and other great
Americans. Then he turned to Ian.
dor, the great Englishman.
"Landor, he said, was at the same
time the most violent and bruta, and
most delicate and sensitive of ren.
He adored flowers. The gardens Of
his beautiful villa in Florence we're
full OF flowers, and the poet walked
among them daily, never pluclins
them, only bending over them rever
emily to admire their loveliness and
their perfume.
"Landor's cook one day served him
a wretched dinner, and In his rage
the poet threw the man out Of the
window into a bed OF splendid roses
"As the cook writhed with a broken
leg below Landor from his window
exclaimed in a horror-stricken voice:
"'Good gracious, forgot ths
roses!' '"-WashinEton Star.

COFFEE CuSTARD

Make a good, strong extract OF cof-
fee by dripping 1t as slowly as pos
sible through a percolator; for six
persons you will want one cupful;
take four of the same measure of
milk and beat with the milk the yolks
of three eggs; add two ounces of
powdered sugar; mix with this the
cupful of coffee; as coffee differs in
strength, taste to see that it is strong
enough; pour the mixture into cups
and put the cups in a not too deep
pan with boiling water; the level OF
the water ought not to stand higher
than half the cup; do not boil the
water too hard: about fifteen minutes
of boiling Is necessary; turn out on
