that many Of the birds were Of Alas.

Tor their presence in this latitude is
that they were engaged in long
flight to the southern zones from their
northern summer haunts and had been
deferred from their route by heavy
winds and rains. The most noticeable
birds were the northern phalorpe and
the night herons. The former birds
are rarely seen outside of Alaska or

About Hardness.

There is no more beneficial tonic
than good, hearty laughter. It in.
flates the lungs and has magic eff.
feet upon the system. Giggling is not
laughing, and 1t Is a habit that brings
wrinkles and soon spoils even q pref.
ty face. Why not laugh? 1t improves
the appearance and makes one popu.
lar. There is nothing to be glum over,
and, II there is, being glum will not
help it. Be happy and bright and
everyone will wish to help you. The
girl who wants to be beautiful must
sleep with fresh air, plenty of 1t, in
her room. She must go out and revel
in the sunshine. She must find plenty
Of laughter in her daily life. That Is
the only true way to live and the only
way capable Of bringing beauty.

the Best FILLING for Ples1 -Prune
Pudding an Appealing
Dessert

Everything seems to be jellied Of
late that was never SO used before,
such as cucumbers, mint, etc. Now
1t is sweet pickle. This Is to be served
with roast meats. Take good, sweet
picked peaches, pears, mangoes or
melons. Gelatine is dissolved and
hot pickle strip added. When cooled
the cut-up pickle is put in, with some
cut-up fresh orange and a few tea
spoonfuls of maraschino cherries, both
fruit and strip. Cool like any gelatine
and serve with lamb or beef or poultry.
Filling for Pies. - Canned blueber-
ries, favored with wine, may now be
used for pies or tartlets. Pineapple
makes nice filling, also, and choco-
late cream filling with meringue in
f1aky pastry is another change.
Peaches and pears canned, but not
sweetened, make excellent salad with
lettuce. Serve mayonnaise whitened
with considerable whipped cream. A
little orange and apricot may be used
with the other two fruits, or a very
firm not over-ripe banana. This is
suitable for a last course at lunch.
con instead Of the customary dessert
of pastry or sweets.
Prune Pudding.-A prune pudding,
which is favorite when once known,
may be made from a cupful Of prunes
stewed soft, the beaten whites Of six
eggs, a half cupful Of sugar and some
vanilla. Stone and mash the cooked
prunes and stir them into the white
Of egg. Sift a half teaspoonful Of
cream Of tartar into the half cupful
Of sugar; add one teaspoonful Of va
nilla. Bake in a round earthen
dish until firm. Serve at once with
whipped cream. Do not Jar this souf-
fle while baking, as tits likely to fall.
1t should be of a pale brown color.
Dried Peaches.-Dried peaches may
be soaked in strip Of sugar and
water, and wine or brandy added, for
a compete without cooking. That is
one expedient Of light housekeeping.
OF course, they must be devoid of
skins.
Dried peach pie should be made with
care, else it is tough and bitter. Soak
the peaches and stew gently. Throw
away the water first used If 1t seems
bitter, for both peaches and apricots
are improved and made more delicate
by this seeming waste. Add the liquid
10 the vinegar key, If you have one.
After the peaches are boiled and
sifted add sugar and either little
fresh butter or some cream, about a
half cupful for two medium-sized pies.
A little lemon rind or sherry are not
amiss in dried peach pie. Canned
apricots and peaches combined make
nice pies, and plain canned apricots
make delicious dessert. They may
be used also for tartlets or for short.
cake in winter. On these use whipped
cream and garnish with crystallized
cherries If desired more fanciful. II

SHOCKED IN HAUNTED CHAMBER
sIeepsrs' Fright However, Was Not
Caused by Ghosts.

John Leech and a member Of the
Millais family once stayed a night at
Cowdray hall, in England, where,
many guests being present, the two
friends had no alternative but to &C.
cept beds in an isolated room sup
posed to be haunted.
In the middle Of the night Millais
awoke, believing that some giant was
shaking him violently by the shoulder.
This was supposed to be the favorite
device Of the ghost. He rushed into
a corridor and found Leech sitting
there trembling and declaring that he
would not for the world go back to
his room.
They spent the remainder of the
night In the corridor, but in the morn
ing said nothing Of their experiences.
In the afternoon there arrived an
evening paper telling of a violent
earthquake in the locality. The earth.
quake was what the two visitors be-
lieved to be their ghost.
