You would better let them alone" daddy advised Mrs Owl

peaceable birds, you can't tell what a frightened mother owl may do if she
thinks you are likely to harm he. babies
The younger owls are not go wise as their parents They like 10 see the
world and at night sometimes, when they nave learned 10 fly, wander far
from home. When morning comes they crawl into ONE dark corner to sleep
instead of flying back to their own hollow tree
Not long ago Il young owl who lives in Van Corlandt park. in the upper
part of New York city, was o his way home at any early hour ia the morn
Here is a place for me to crawl into and 20 to sleep n doubt young Mr.

After that he vas so scared that he allowed the nu from the ticket

SOMETHING NEW IN FINANCE
ern Negro Has a Good Head
for Business.

George NJ. Bailey, whose editorial
paragraphs in the Houston Post are
known all over the country, believes
that the southern negro has a agood
head for business and finance.
"Rastus," said Bailey, In unfolding
his claim, was an old darby who
worked two acres Of land on a big
plantation, and got his foodstuffs from
the big commissary which supplied
everything to the tenants. Rastus,
having poor land as his share, was
continually in debt, because he could
never raise enough cotton to pay of
his bill at the store. There came a
season, however, when cotton grew
and fiourished on Rastus' acres, and
when the storekeeper measured up
the cotton he told Rastus:
you've got nine dollars coming to
you
LOOK hyuh. white mani exclaimed
Rastus. Go back dar an look at dem
books ag'in. You don W me no nine
dollars
The clerk complied, and returned
with the statement that he had been
mistaken, and that Rastus still owed
the store nine dollars.
Nov you talkin' sense said Ras-
tus ~contentedly. Come on back hyuh
an give me a strip OBJ bacon
you see" explained Bailey, that
old fellow knew that as long az he
kept In debt to the store they would
give him credit. and he was afraid
that II he ever got out Of debt the
store might refuse him credit the next
time he asked for it. Hence his pleas
ure because Of his financial difficulty"

A STUDY OF DESSERTS.

There are about eve types of des-
serts and all varieties come under
one OF the types. By changing the
favor one may have a variety Of des-
serts with little study in preparation.
Monotony is the n bugbear OF every
cook. If g. certain kind OF pudding ID
served once a month, there will never
be an occasion to tire OF the same
ness.
A custard is one type which may be
varied by different f~iavors, browning
the sugar makes a delicious flavoring
for a custarS. Melt the sugar after
browning by adding the silk; stir I'M
til dissolved, then beat in the eggs
and put to bake in hot water. A
grating of nutmeg or vanilla is good
favoring for a baked custard.
Bread buildings are another type,
and may be varied IN flavor by the
addition OF fresh or dried fruit, spices
or chocolate. The foundation for all
such buildings is the same: n pint Of
milk, two eggs. a cup Of bread cut in
cubes and a half cup Of sugar. Stir
occasionally while cooking, favor with
chocolate, a square or two, and serve
with cream.
The steamed pudding Is another
type. This may be a simple batter
and fresh fruits may be added in lay
ers and steamed: If In cups fifteen to
twenty minutes; II in a larger mold
the time for steaming will be longer.
The sauce for a plain pudding with
fresh fruit Is always cream, but when
spice, chocolate and other favors are
used the following Is better:
Take two eggs separate tho whites
from the yolks, and beat well. Add q
fourth OF a cup OF sugar and vanilla
to taste. Serve uncooked. mixing the
whites lightly, not to lose the air beat.

A dish Of peaches or pears with
bread and butter Is a good dessert,
but when one wants TO piece out the
can OF peaches and make them serve
moro, q dessert called Peach Snow
drift may be served, which may b
served with whipped cream and the
Juice OF the peaches. Cook together
