Whistling Trees.

Among the curiosities Of tree life
is the sofar, or whistling tree Of Nu-
bia. When the winds blow over this
tree it gives out fute-like sounds,
playing away to the wilderness for
hours at a time strange, weird melo-
dies. 1t is the spirit Of the dead sing
ing among the branches, the natives
say, but the scientific white man says
that the sounds are due to a myriad
of small holes which an insect bores
in the spines of the branches. The
weeping tree of the Canary Island Is
another aboreal freak. This tree in
the driest weather will rain down
showers from its leaves, and the ma
tives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot Of the trunk
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base of the
leaves.-Chicago Journal.

Apple SouMe.

Boil three ounces of rice IN a pint

the oven till quite firm and set. Turn
it into a dish and fill the frame with
a souf1e made as follows: Stew five
apples, sweetening and 1avoring them
with a little cinnamon or Glove. Beat
the yolks Of three eggs with an ounce
and a half Of butter and mix them
with the apples. Set on the fire for
a few minutes in order to mix we'll
together. Let the mixture then stand
in a basin for a short while, add the
whites of three eggs beaten to a stif
froth, and mix all together. Fill the
rice frame with this and bake till a
golden brown. .t
This makes a simple, old-fashioned
dish which is both tempting and
wholesome. Pare, core and quarter
some apples overnight and place them
in a fruit casserole with half a pound
Of sugar which has been previously
dissolved in a %teacupful Of water. Let
them get well heated, then draw the
casserole to the side of the stove,
taking care that the lid fits closely.
Leave all night and the apples will
be quite tender In the morning.

simple little device, but it is OF great
convenience for use On tall glasses,
such as those used for iced tea, etc.
The device consists of a piece of metal
bent at the top to form two arms,
with the opening between them just
wide enough to admit the handle Of a
spoon, inserted sideways. and with
the wide part just narrow enough to
keep the handle Of the spoon from
slipping through. The lower part of
the holder consists Of a flat strip
which runs down inside the glass and
a spring clip on the back which goes
outside the glass and clamps the
whole firmly II. The spoon, when
not in use, is hung on the holder and
does not fall into the bottom of the
glass. While the device fits on the
edge of any receptacle, it is chiefly
employed where the receptacle is
deeper than the spoon is long.-Bos-

UNHAPPY MARRIAGESOF FAMOUS MEN
D Had Reason to Regret the Mat
PimOniaI Yoke.

mo sun warmed my roof-tree; the
marriage was a blunder; she was nine
years my senior" Seldom did the
last of the great Victorian novelists,
George Meredith, refer to his first
marriage, in 1S49, with Mary Ellen
Nichols, widow of Lieutenant Mich
oils and daughter Of Thomas Love
Peacock, writes an English paper.
But on n occasion he broke the
silence concerning that unhappy cpl
sode in his life with the foregoing
pathetic words. 1t is some satisfac-
ton to know that when the first Mrs.
Meredith died, in 1860, this great
writer enjoyed some twenty years Of
much happier domestic life with Miss
Vulliany, a lady Of French descent,
whom he married in 1864, and who
died twenty-four years ago.
Several other men of genius con-
temporary with George Meredith had
reason to regret the matrimonial
yoke. John Ruskin, for instance,
after falling in love as a boy with a
beautiful French girl, whom he
wooed with poems, romances, dra-
mas and mute worship, receiving
nothing in reply but chilly indiffer-
ence and lively ridicule, married, at
the age Of twenty-nine, a lady OF
great beauty, EuDhemia G. Gray, of
4 family long intimate with the Rus
kins. The marriage, we are told,
was arranged by the parents Of the
couple, was a somewhat hurried act,
and brought no happiness to either.
Ruskin was immersed in his studies
and projects, while his wife "a de-
voted to society, and six years after
the marriage she left him, obtained a
notification under Scotch law, and
ultimately became the wife Of John
Everett Millais.
Then there was George Frederick
Watts, the famous Royal Academic
ian, who, when he was forty years OF
age, married Miss Ellen Terry, who
was not then out Of her teens. AS
might have been anticipated, the
union of two such artists, only n of
whom was permitted to pursue his
art, was tempting disaster, and after
a short time the marriage was dis

chest there is no ezcus for a person
not taking his medicine on time or

little drawers at the upper corners
and a desk portion on top. In front
of the desk portion is a little door,
Just about wide enough to admit a

SQUADS q L'Americaine.

Three squads, four ounces of sau-
sage meat, five ounces of cooked ham,
one carrot, one turnip, one onion, two
cupfuls Of stock or water, one egg,
bread crumbs, mashed potatoes, salt,
pepper, CRATE of nutmeg and red pep
per. t'.|
Split the squads in halves a-d take
out the breastbone. Wash, prepare
and quarter the vegetables, put them
in a saucepan, lay the squads on them,
pour in the stock or water, cover the
pan, and let the birds cook slowly for
one hour. Then lift them on to a
dish, place another over them with
weights on it, and press them fiat till
cold. Rub the sausage meat through
a sieve, and mix with it the finely
chopped ham and seasonings.
When the squads are quite cold
spread a layer Of this force oyer the
cut side Of each. Brush over each
piece with beaten egg, and cover it
with fine bread crumbs. Fry them in
smoking hot fat till a golden color.
Have ready some hot mashed pota-
toes, arrange a bed Of it down the
centre of a hot dish, lay the squads
on this, pressing them down slightly
into the potato. Then decorate the
edge Of the dish with mashed potato
forced through a bag and rose tube.
Strain round a little tomato or brown
sauce.
If preferred some carefully pre-
pared spinach might be used in the
place of potatoes. - Philadelphia
