This statue stood in a forbidden
place IL was one of the art treasures
OF the great house on the bluff com

seen this marble once. when dining
there with father, and was so i'm

There was no one living in the house
at this time. Mr.. Spencer had gone
West for the winter. The servants
had been dismissed, and the place
closed.
What to every other person in town
would have seemed an insuperable OBJ

One day in my restless wanderings
about place which had something of
the nature of shrine to me, l had
noticed that one of the windows Ga

moved as the wind took it. Either the
lock had given way or it had not been
properly fastened. If l could only
bring myself to disregard the narrow
ness of the ledge separating the house
from the preoipice beneath l felt that
l could reach this window and sever
the vines sufficiently for my body to
press in; and this l did that night.

BEFORE HIS HOUR OF GLORY
Attitude of the Youthful Napoleon on
That Memorable June Day
in French History.

While we were spending our time In
rather vagabond manner the TWEEN
tieth of June arrived. We met by APP
pointment at restaurateur's in the
Rue st. Honore, near the Palals
Royal, to take one of our daily ram
bles. On going out we saw mob ap-
preaching in the direction of the mar
ket, which Bonaparte estimated at i've
or six thousand men. They were
rabble of blackguards ludicrousIy
armed with weapons of every descrip-
ton, and shouted while they proceed
ed rapidly toward the Tuileries, voclf-
Grating all kinds of gross abuse. II

in the purlieus of Paris.
Let US follow the mob" said Bona
parte.
We got the start of them and took
up our station on the terrace along the
river. 1t was there that he witnessed
the scandalous scenes which TOOK
place, and it would be difficult 20 de-
scribe the surprise and indignation
which they excited in him. When the
king showed himself at the windows
overlooking the garden with the red
cap which one of the mob had put on
his head he could no longer repress
his indignation. What stupidity" he
loudly exclaimed. why have they
let in all that rabble? They should
knock off 400 or 500 Of them with the
cannon; the rest would take them
selves off fast enough"
When we sat down to dinner, which
l paid for, as generally did, for l was
the richer of the two, he spoke of moth
ing but the scene we had witnessed.
He discussed with great good sense the
causes and consequences of this unre-
pressed instruction. He foresaw and
developed with sagacity all that would
follow. He was not mistaken

Properly Gland o, cakes.v

Scotland came to be known centus
ries ago as the Land O. Cakes" and
as such has been celebrated in prose
and poetry. One may yet, in travelling
through that northern land, come up
on country inns and herders' huts, see
women who never attended cooking
school, and who over a peat fire in the
great chimney place, a griddle swung
by crane over tbs slow Goals, baking
a cake more than q foot in diameter,
savory and promising of a meal for
the gods, and who when the big cake
is ready for the turning win seize the

PROPER WAY TIC MAKE COFFEE
Beverage Requires Care in Its Prep
aration if One Would Have 1t
at Its Best.

All the world loves a good cup of
coffee. The average housekeeper
seems to think, however, that all that
is necessary is to put in the coffee pot
a few tablespoonful of Indifferent
coffee, and little hot water, and let
it take care of itself, to come to the
table as luck determines, either pal
atable or so muddy and weak as to
be undrinkable.
While a percolator is best for MAX
ing the beverage, as it can then be
madesat the table and boiling water
assured, still good coffee is made in
the old-fashioned coffee pot. Be sure
that the coffee is properly ground and
roasted, and do not have it ground too
fine, as when too finely ground it
makes muddy coffee, and be sure to
put into the pot tablespoonful of
coffee for each cup to be served, and
one for the pot. Settle with a part
of an egg, and use boiling water, allow
ing the coffee to boil for few Sec
onds. Do not use whole egg each
day for clearing coffee. Break a small
hole in the end of the shell and use
only a part of the egg. Then wrap
the egg in a cloth and keep it in a cup
in cool place. 1t will then serve for
several days. Some housekeepers mix
well-beaten eggs with pound of COT
fee and let dry in warm oven, TAX
ing care not to burn by stirring often.
This makes coffee taste just as good
as if it were added just before using,
and saves trouble.
If you use percolator, fill the up
per part with the coffee, press it down
firmly, then gradually pour on the
boiling water, having previously meas
ured the amount required. Put on the
lid and let the liquid run through, re-
Numbering that the slower the water
is added the better the coffee. For
cafe noir a tablespoonful of ground
coffee should be allowed for each
cup.

lukewarm pour it into the eggs slowly,

lated sugar in an iron spider or ket-
tie, wet it with a little water, vet 1t
cook slowly until it gets a nice brown;
stir it so it won't burn; pour This in
your pudding dish all around the
sides; when cold, pour the custard IN
and it is ready for the oven; bake 20
minutes with a medium heat. Try

Payment of Taxes.

City, town and village treasur-
ers have now until March % to
make their final settlements with
the county treasurer, according
to the terms of a law enacted by
the last legislature The state tax
must be paid to the county
treasurer on or before the first
Monday in March. Under the old
law the state tax had to be paid
on or before the second Monday
in February and the final settle
ments were required to be made
not later than March Is. The
effect of the new law is to give
the treasurers more time in
which to make their returns of
the state taxes and their final
settlements. 1t also gives the
county treasurer more time in
which to settle with the state
treasurer for state taxes collect
