Most Popular Name For Brloes.

Ann was the most popular name
for brides in 1907. The Maggies, the
Marys, the Hates and the Rosies,
all of whom have in past years car
ried off the honor, must bow to Ann.
Thomas G. Smith, the application
clerk of the marriage license bureau,
has for years kept a record of the
most popular names of brides, and
his records for 1907 show that there
have been more brides with Ann as
handle to their names and sur
names than any other.
Katie carries off second honors
and Mary, once so popul ar, drifted
back to the seventh place. In 1905
Maggie won first place, but now she
takes third place.
Mr., Smith places the ten most
popular brides of 1907 in their re-
spective standing as follows; Ann,
Kate, Maggie, Elizabeth. Sarah, Car
rie. Mary, Rosa, Emma and Clara

VEGETABLE DISH.

Boil six or seven potatoes until
they are mealy; mash them as smooth
as possible, adding couple of table
spoons of butter, salt and pepper and
enough hot milk to make them quite
soft. Crate half cupful Of cheese
and beat it into the mashed potatoes
and then CRATE thin layer of cheese
over the top. Set in the oven until
the cheese toasts, and serve.
The dish may be made by cutting
the boiled potatoes into rather large
pieces, as for frying. Place them
into a baking dish and CRATE cheese
over each layer of potatoes. Pour
thin cream dressing over all the
layers. Crate layer of cheese on
top and brown.-Boston Chef.

Forestry in China.

THE almost worldwide movement
to protect and establish forests has
reached China, said Percy T. Hyams,
railroad contractor of Hongkong.
1.-THE first Chinese school of forestry
will soon be opened at Mukden. The
Chinese Empire is usually pointed
out as the worst example among mod
ern nations of forest destruction.
''The foods which are periodically
poured down from the denuded
mountains are destructive beyond
comparison with any other country,
and the want of forests is assigned to
this as the chief cause. Wood is
scarcer in China than in almost any
other country in the world although
the country is we'll adapted to the
growing Of trees" ~ Washington
Post.

Eskimo banquets last longer than
any other, and the quantity of food
swallowed is also proportionately
greater. Ross records that seven OF
his party of natives once ate continu-
ously for thirty-three hours, during
which time they consumed 200
pounds of seal meat. Europeans ex-
posed to the same climatic conditions
act much in the same way. Captain

CHAPTER VII.

Beaufort behaved very well at this
crisis of domestic history. He shook
off his usual languor, and became at
once energetic and active. What he
said to Tom remains undisclosed, but
he spoke to" the boy with great
force, and even eloquence, represent
ing to him the ruin entailed by GER
tain bad habits, which more than
other vices, probably worse in them
selves, destroy g mans reputation and
degrade him among his fellows.
Though he was himself a man over
refined in his ways, he was clever
enough to seize the only motives
which were likely to influence the
ruder nature of his stepson. And
then he went to poor Carry, who in
this home of evil memories sat like a
ghost surrounded by the recollections
of the past, and seeing forever before
her eyes the disordered looks and
alasl the son of her dreams, the
child wnom every mother hopes for,
who is to restore the ideal of what q
man should be. Many disappoint-
ments had already taught Lady Car
that her son had little of the ideal in
him, and nothing, or next to nothing,
of herself; but still he was her son,
and to think of him as the rude and
violent debauchee of the countryside
seemed more than she could bear.
Beaufort came in upon her miserable
seclusion like fresh breeze of COM
fort and hope. This was so far from
his usual aspect, that the effect was
doubled. Tender he always was, but
to-day he was cheerful, hopeful, full
of confidence and conscious power.
There must be no more of this" he
cried. "Come, Carry, have little
courage. Because the boy has been a
fool once--or even twice--that is not
to say that there is anything tragical
in it.. or that he is abandoned to bad
habits. 1t is probably scarcely his
fault at ALA combination OF circum-
stances Nobody's fault, indeed.

CTIRRANT CAKE.

Currant cake takes only half
cup of butter and one and half cups
of sugar, which must be rubbed to
cream. Beat two eggs into the mix
ture, and then add three-quarters Of
cup Of milk, one small nutmeg,
grated; one cup of currants which
have been washed and dried, one and
half cups of -four and two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder. The
flour and baking powder must be
sifted together before adding them,
and the currants should be stirred in
with the flour.-New York Tribune.

Why climb with your burden those weari-

While the sluggard at ease so restfully
sleeps!

While the sweat from your forehead is

And when lean from your labor your

He'll feed, fresh and fat, at the charity

If you gallop through life at this strenuous
