A farmers wife In the north OF

The Norman peasant eats an aston

There is no dough pan or trough.
The -four and water are poured to-

and his sops or hired laborers beat the
mass into the proper consistency with
heavy clubs widely fattened at the
ends until they look something like
roughly shaped snow shovels. Then
lump of leaven is added. and the
mass is given ten or twelve hours to

Next it must be kneaded, a process
which is accomplished with the feet.

FOUGHT WITH HIS BOYS.

An Amusing Passage Between Which
and Rosecrans.
There are times when the so called
''red tape" Of the army gives way IN
der the stress of circumstances. At
the battle Of Chickamauga. General
Which. who was commanding bri-
gade. incurred the displeasure of Cen
eral Rosecrans. the commanding gen.

General Which was sent for and in
formed by the general commanding

Only One Time In Woman's Life

We never knew but one woman who
protested that she liked to wash dish

her yeracity melted like soap in hot

nian is after a hearty dinner, when he
can enjoy a siesta or discuss the pa
pers, while we must attend to the in
evitable dishes.
Can any one wonder that girls get
tired of the monotonous round of dish
washing, which must be done three
times day for the 800 consecutive
days?
Think of it, We gods, and tear your
hair and weep for the woes of our sis
terhood!
There is a short time in most every
woman's life when it is pleasure, but
that is when we are too small to reach
upon the kitchen table without chair
and are permitted to wash the cups
and saucers to keep us out OF mischief.
When we are older and have it to do
alone the soup tureen would not hold
the tears we shed over it.
How we have dreamed over the blue
pictures on the old fashioned dishes
pictures Of impossible temples and cas-
ties, built in unhealthy proximity to
"clear lakes" and in girlish fancy wan

those castles in the air"

rising infection on the last syllable of

All the house knows that "I1lp' IS
dreaming over the dishpan again, and
reverie is not permitted in our active
household, which was conducted on
the "whoop her up system.

ceramics we wonder If they served

Wallack on the Ballet.

The late Lester Wallack once told
story Of his still more famous father.
James W.. that as either an actor or
manager he could never tolerate the
ballet. even where it was seemingly
necessary according to custom as part
Of an entertainment or In the opera.
One day there came to him friend,

Wallack. it is very curious that you do
not see the beauties OF Imagination
shown by the poses of the ballet" Co.

wore out the patience Of the actor
manager, who replied:

these absurdities in an opera; but.
though l can comprehend people sing
ing their joys. l am hanged IL l can
their dancing their griefs."

A DREAM CAT.
Repeated Appearance Premonitory of
Disease.

Repeated Appearance Premonitory OF
"Some years ago. early in the sum-
mer," says FL. Addington Bruce in
Success Magazine, Il dreamed that
while out taking a walk was sud
denly attacked by a huge cat, which
clawed ferociously at my throat. That
was all there was to the dream, or. at
any rate. that was all remembered on
awakening in the morning, and, natu-
rally enough, | dismissed 1t from my
mind as nothing but a dream.
"But when found myself dreaming
the same dream again and again | be-
gan to wonder what significance it
would possibly have. Usually it varied
greatly in minor detail. Always, how
ever, the climax was the same-the
cat had me by the throat and was bit
ing and scratching viciously. Alto
gether | dreamed this dream not less
than score of times in six months.
shortly before Christmas took
cold, which settled in my throat. af-
fecting it so badly as to require the
attention of specialist. Much to my
astonishment. 1t was then discovered
that a growth had been developing for
some time and that an Immediate oper-
alton was necessary.
Several weeks later. the operation
having been performed successfully. it
suddenly occurred TO me that was no
longer being troubled by the phantom
cat For the first time the meaning of
the singular dream dawned upon me.
1T had been a genuine premonitory
dream. Consciously | had been in ut
ter ignorance of the dangerous growth
In my throat. 1t had not progressed
far enough to give me any pain or even
to cause discomfort. At the same time
the organic changes it involved had
produced sensations plainly felt by
what psychologists call the subcon-
scious and manifesting through the
subconscious TO the conscious in the
form of symbolic Dream"

How a Moose Eats.

Of all peculiar sights | think that
that Of a moose eating grass is the
most extraordinary. The neck is so
short and the legs are so long that the
animal usually kneels in eating grass.
True. it does not attempt it very of
ten. for grass is by no means staple
with it, but even moose likes
change Of diet. The appearance Of
this huge and awkward creature in
this devotional attitude is not only in
teresting. but laughable.-St. Nicholas.
