rTKaXELATXDTOBTBI DISPATCH.
One bright beautiful winter day Eric sat
by the window in the cozy sitting room,
watching with sparkling eyes the snow glis
tening in the sunshine and listening to the
merry jingle of the sleigh bells mingled
with the gay shouts of the happy riders.
"Oh, mother," he cried, "how beautiful
the winter is; the black roo's loot so clean
and white witn their covering of snow, nnd
the Irost makes the field and trees shine like
diamonds."
"It is, indeed, beautiful," sighed the
mother, who lor several years had been to
tally blind; "and I wish I could enjoy the
sight with you. But X can remember how
it all looks, and the recollections are very
pleasant."
The boy's bright face became thoughtful,
nnd he said: ''Mother, can nothing be done
to restore your sight?"
"Nothing, my dear child," was the reply.
"There is but one remedy, and that is be
yond our power."
"When Eric wished to know this remedy,
bis mother told him that a strange physi
cian bad once visited her, and had said that
near the North Pole grew a flower called
the 'Wonder Flower, with which all blind
cess might be healed. But no one bad ever
penetrated this region of snow and ice, and
to the flower could not be obtained.
Eric thonght much of this story, and
even when he went to his room that
night the remembrance of it was with him.
Just as he was dropping off to sleep a slight
noise at the window aroused him, and look
ing up be saw the sash thrown open, and a
boy near his own size, wearing a dazzling
white robe, enter the room. He thus spoke
'-vSV?
EEIC QUICKLY GATHERED A DOZEN FLOWEB3.
to Eric: "The wonder flower is very easily
found by those who wish it. I shall leave
this small box lor you. "Within is a slender
stick, which will guide you to the home ol
the flower."
Then the stranger, having placed the box
on the tabl, disappeared, and Eric fell
asleep. "When the bov awoke the next
morning, the first object that met his gaze
was the small box. He shouted with de
light: "Then I was not dreaming; and can
really find the one remedy for my dear
mother."
Hastening to the breakfast room he cried:
"Mother, mother, now you shall see, for I
have a guide to the wonder flower."
He then related his adventures of the
sight before and handed the box to his
mother, who felt it careiully and then said:
"You have been dreaming, Eric This is
only a pocket compass, whose needle always
points to the north."
"But, mother." said Eric, "the boy told
me it would guide me to the wonder flower.
Please let me go."
At first the mother refused, but finally,
unable to resist his earnest pleadings, she
promised that if he would wait till spring
she would then allow him to begin his
search. The remainder of the winter passed
very slowly to the impatient boy. But
finally spring did really come, and when the
fields and trees were again in bloom Eric
beean to talk of his journey to the North
Pole.
One night his former visitor appeared to
him, and said: "You must start at once in
quest ot the wonder flower. I snail give
you a companion who shall advise and guide
you, and also a staff which will help you
through many.difficnlties."
The stranger knocked three times on the
floor, and suddenly a score or more ot little
creatures cot more than a loot high entered,
carrying a light reed cane, which they
placed on Eric's bed. Then all vanished,
with the exception of one, who said his name
was Muckaboid, and he was the companion
which was to be sent. Eric arose and has
tily made his preparations to drpirt. Tak
ing his compass and staff be hurried to his
mother's room, and be ore she had time to
titter a word in remonstrance, he- had bid
den her goodby, and was gone.
All that cirhi aud the next day Eric and
his friend followed the guidings of the com
pass, and m the evening fouud themselves
in a large field in the midst of which stood
an old wide-spreading elm tree.
"What do you say to stopping here for
the night?" said Muckaboid.
"It is a very good place," said Eric, "but
where shall we find food?"
Muckaboid onlr laughed and told him to
strike three timet on the ground with his
cane. When Eric had done this, many of
Muckabold's brothers appeared, saying
that they were ready to obey orders.
Learning vbat food and shelter were re
quired, the little men led the way to
a rock, into wnich was an entrance so nar
row that with great difficulty Eric passed
through. But once within, the uarrow hall
extended into the wide rboni where stood
tables covered with the choicest lood. At
firat Eric was at a loss to know how he
should eat from such small dishes; but his
little friends were very attentive, and saw
that their guest was well supplied; and after
he had satisfied his hunger he was led to a
downy couch, where he slept soundly till
roused in the morning by Muckaboid, who
said it was time to continue their journey.
Again they lollowed the guidings of the
,eompass, which led them to the shore of a
fiLwidesea.
Now, what shall we do?" asked Erie
'jilooking about in vain for a boat; "we cerl
V tainly cannot swim this great ocean.-"
"Swim?" laughed Muckaboid; "throw
your cane in the water and see what hap
pens." r
Eric did so, and found that the cane, in
stead of floating away, seemed to grow and
widen ont until a handsome sailboat rocked
before them on the waves. Scarcely had
they taken their places when hundreds of
iit wennaius appeared -a Dove the suriace o! the

dicated. For many days they glided by
sunny lands and blooming fields; then grad
ually the flowers began to disappear, and
the trees became .fewer until at last snow
covered the ground, and great icebergs were
to be seen. Now the mermaids also van
ished, and the boat floated to a cold,
frtweo shore, on which stood a band of
soldiers arrayed in snowy armor, and wearing
shield and swords of crystal ice. Eric and
Mnckabold stepped ashore and were met by
the captain ol the company, who said: No
one is allowed to enter the realm of the
snow king; and if vou attempt to advance
we shall strike you with the sword."
"It you do not lead us to your king," said
Eric, "I shall strike you with my cane;"
and raising his staff he struck the shield and
sword of the captain with such force that
they broke into a thousand pieces. Alarmed
at the sight of such strength, the other
soldiers fled, while the captain, with fear
and tremliling, led the way to the ting,
who was at first very angrv with his men for
their lack of courage. But when be had
heard Eric's story he said: "Yon have come
for a good cause. The wonder flower grows
in the northern part of my kiosdom, and
mv reindeer shall carry you there."
Eric was not long in mounting this
strange steed, and with Mnckabold clinging
to the horns, he was soon speeding over the
frozen snow. A lew hours' ride brought
him to the shore ot a great lake. Here no
ice was to be seen, and the clear, placid
n-otora roflrMpd the deenblue of the heaven.
On the green banks grew daises and violets
in profusion, and covering the ground like
a scarlet carpet were the large beautiful
wonder flowers. Eric quickly gathered a
dozen or more of the gre it red flowers, and
then hastened back to the king to express
his gratitude. But the ice king allowed
him to take only one flower, and exacted a
promise that be should tell no one of his
trip to the North Pole.
And now Eric, happy in the thought that
the blind eyes of his mother should be
opened, hurried on his way home. Mucka
boid still proved himself a faithful guide,
and led his friend safe through all the
dangers of the return journey. The mer
maids guided their ship, and the little
elves, whoe home was in the narrow cave,
again provided food and shelter.
There was great joy in Eric's home when,
having been welcomed with loving em
braces, he waved the wonder flower three
times before his mother's eyes, aud the sight
was restored.
Muckaboid disappeared as suddenly as he
had come, and thereafter visited Erio only
in his dreams. Paysie.

NAMED AFTEB FIXATE,
Cnrlone Legend Which Has Attached It-
elf to Mount Pilntna, ,
Lucerne Letter to The Dispatch.!
No other mountain in Switzerland has
had more fables connected with it than
Mount Pilatus. Its original name was
Frackmunt, a name, perhaps, bestowed on
it by some latinizing ecclesiastics, being
easily derived from tbe words mons fracius,
signifying its fractured and rugged ap
pearance. The present name is derived
from no less a personage than the great
Pontius Pilate himself, the legend of which
runs as follows:
Pontius Pilate, Governor of Judea, who
delivered up the Savior to be crucified, was
recalled to Borne by the Emperor Tiberiu,
and thrown into prison. In a fit of despair
he killed himself inthedungeon. His body
was tossed into the Tiber, but immediataly
a heavy storm broke over the river causiag
dread i ul devastations. The corpse was
taken out again and carried to France,
where it was put into 'the Rhone. But, the
longyjonrney had not impaired the dead
Governor's power for evil, and here, too, a
terrilje storm arose. The dead man's body
was next transported to Lausanne, but only
to repeat its behavior. In order to put an
end to the trouble it was decided to convey
it into some wild mountainous district, and
the gloomy eminence on the shores of the
lamocs Lake Lucerne was selected for the
purpose, j
The corpse was brought to Xucerne, and
conveyed thence upthe highest part ol the
mountain. Here, in-a secluded, dismal
spot, was a small lake, aud in this the un
canny burden was deposited. It behaved
here worse than anywhere else. It stirred
up the waters, the Binds and tbe ratn till
down yonder in the smiling valleys the
floods, the hail and the tempest destroyed
everything. Soon, too, the dead Governor's
spirit took possession of all tbe peaks, and
was often seen to fly from one to the other in
the shape ol a hideous specter, till a learned
graduate from the famous university of Sal
amanca succeeded, by means of a potent
exorcism, in confining it to the mountain
lake, where it was doomed hence ortb to re
main, with permission, however, to set up a
Prtetorial throne in the lake once a yearon
Good Friday), and take its seat thereon in
the robes of office. The rest of the time it
kept quiet enough in the mountain as long
as it was let alone.
If disturbed it would wax as furious as
ever, dark clouds then collected around the
mountains, the lightning flashed, the thun
der rolled aud desolation broke over the
land. That this was indeed tbe case, and
that the old Bouian Governor was still to be
feared, was the general belief. Accordingly
the Town Council of Lucerne took every
precaution to prevent people from ascending
the mountain. Severe prohihitnry orders
were issued in tbe years 1496, 1S64 and
1578. It is said that one poor wretch, who
visited the lake in spite of the governmental
prohibition, was executed.

Now Is a good time to decide about next
Winter. Cold weather is a comfortable topic
to consider while the mercury is where it is.
Liability to sunstroke maybe lessened by
meditating upon frostbites. Thunderstorms
may be less terrilying if we reflect upon
blizzards. Therelore at the close of August
it is well to dwell upon plans tor mitigating
the atrocities of the frigid season.
A very queer thing about human nature
is the abiding disposition to cure one form
of discomlort by adopting another form of
discomfort We always insist that tne re
action shall be at least equal to the action.
We are not satisfied to let the
pendulum drop to the perpendicular;
we wish it to swing beyond that to a
point opposite the point it swung from. If
we nave oecome ureu oui wuu wai.iu& ..
want to become tired ont with riding, we
are sure that a felon on the hand would be
greatly relieved by a bunion on the foot
LaBt winter there were discontented souls
who complained that the season was un
kind to them and permitted them no com
fort The snow what little there was was
a nuisance. The frost nipped them. The
cold withered them. The wind pierced
their very bones and would not be kept out
They could not stir from the fireside with
out ''wrapping up," and to wrap up was a
sore trouble.
-Making Winter Oat ofSnmmer.
But now, to escape these torrid terrors
that euviron them, those same people seek
out the coldest places they can find to flee
to. If tbey can find some far mountain
where ice and snow abound, they re
joice. They write boastful letters to
the sweltering friends at home
about "how cold it is" in their
haven of refnge. They brag about the
overcoats they have to wear; the blankets
they have to 'sleep under; the fires they have
to sit by; the ice that has formed in their
washbasins. It seems very odd when you
come to analyze it Is it any pleasanter,
then, to be uncomfortably cold in August
than it is in January? If the timeotjear
makes the difference between comfort and
discomfort, why not go once for all to the
South Temperate Zone where the seasons
are reversed? There you can wear over
coats in July, I believe, and go in your
shirtsleeves in February
But, of course, that is not what makes the
difference. Nothing makes a difference,
but the intense sense of contrast which
belongs to onr national temperament It
impels us to fly from the evils we suffer to
the opposite evils, which seem good because
we have forgotten that they are bad. One
hundred inthe shade is sure to convince us
that zero is the most desirable mark on the
thermometer.
But about next winter? Text winter zero
will convince us that 100 is the proper
figure. Therefore now is the proper and
unprejudiced time to consider that matter.
If torrid temperature is a thing to flee irom
now, why is it a thing to covet six mouths
hence? To pant and perspire are not
pleasant things to do now; why should tbey
be any pleasanter after awhile? To-day
tbe man who should suggest to us a "per
petual summer" would be smitten hip and
thigh. Why, then, should the "perpetual
summer" idea be so beguiling later on?
Because then we will have lorgotten what it
is like, and will be occupied with the dread
of perpetual winter.
Files and Mosqnltoes.
A few facts, gathered while the summer
is present, may be handy for reference
some months in the future, when
the summer is a thing of dim memnry
and ardent longing. They will be
of especial valne and comlort then to the
people who cannot get away, but must re
main in the grasp ot winter whether they
like or not. Why, in the miraculous pro
cesses of evolution, flies should ever have
been developed from tbe all-originating pro
toplasm, is a thing past finding out Per
haps they had toexist somewhere, and it
was judged that this pleasant world with all
the blessings that endow it, could endure
them better than any other place. At all
events flies exist actively in the world in
summer time. None of us are bald, but
some ot us have thin places on our heads.
Those of us who have can testify whether
flies add to the comfort of tbe season which
is their own; whether they do not rather
make it a time of torment and of much peril
to souls.
Mosquitoes, alsol Is "there any doubt
about mosquitoes? One of them can make
life a burden grie.vous to be borne. To feel
the poisoned wdfend and then to hear tne
assassin brag abont it will make a philoso
pher frantic, and will rause a stoic to rage.
Mosquitoes come with the summer time; and
alasl they stajjintil the going thereof.
These are two ol tbe facts that belong to
summer. They belong to it exclusively,
and they belong to it inevitably. Anv
summer sufferer ctn extend the list indefi
nitely. Let him writedown such memoranda
as he can summon the euergy the write, and
post the slip of paper somewhere so that he
cannot help seeing it bye and bve. Let
him write "humidity" on it; 'and .'red-hot;"
and the number of thunder storms that lir.
riiy, and of cyclones tHat threaten; and the
mm tnat comes oi nuying ice; and the deso
lation that comes of not buying it; and tbe
mildew that comes upon his garments
and his books; and the mold that
spoils his food sometimes; and the disap
pointment of not having peaches when he
expected peaches; and a multitude of other
such summer pleasantnesses. He will find
the little list inexpressibly comlorting next
winter when he is longing for "perpetual
summer" and cannot spare the time or
money to hunt for it
An Immortnl Fir.
There are certain reflections which will
add greatly to the peace of mind of him
who re'ers to the memoranda. Perpetual
summer means many things which recurring
summer does not mean. It means the con
tinuance and accumulation of things which
speedily come to an end with us, and have
to begin all over again next time. Sub
tropical evils have- the gathered force of a
past with all its experiences. Take
the "sub-tropical fly, lor example.
Practically he is imuiortal. He does
not die in his early youth, to be succeeded
by infant flies which have to learn how
before they can da their worst The brief
summer fly we suffer Irom is bad enough.
Think, then, bow bad must be the fly with
the veteran memories of years to aid biml
And they have such long memories, those
sub-tropical flies) Experience through
many years has fitted the-u to deal with any
sort of emergency, and he deals with it in a
manner to make our infant flies at home
objects of contempt
So ol the sub-tropical mosquito. We re
gard the transient mosquito ot New Jersey
as having no mean proficiency in bis call
ing. His hind legs curl out behind htm,
and he rocks back and forth on them, thus
giving his stabs much additional force.
But even with this great advantage he is
really insignificant by comparison.
Tbe sab-tropical insect may not be so well
built, but he knows how better. Through
the long years of bis life he has picked up
skijl. The experience, not qf brief months
but of multiplied .'years, 'stretches behind
him, and, while be rhnenibers none of the
good, he has lorgotten'none of the bad. He

.
Has Its Compensations.
There is no malaria in any sub-tropical
region that I ever heard of, but if it did
exist it would be terribly effective. With
no winters to kill the poison, the venom
would go on accumulating and concentrat
ing its strength at a dreadful rate. The
result would be that the visitor wouldhe
pained by the spectacle of many people with
the chills. Bnt there are fleas and sand
flies, and no ague-could keep a person more
actiyely employed in shaking than do these
agents in other forms of movement In
short, those who seek for tuminer, even
though they seek it in the dead of winter,
will find the discomforts of summer, as well
as its delights.
But a ter next winter will come next sum
mer. Thenithe facts and experiences ottbis
sninmer will still have a value of their own
if they can be remembered. One lit
tle group of summer refugees will not forget,
whatever others may do. With the fir-t
hot wave of this summer an inspiration
came to these people. They would have a
summer's outing in the conntry, and would
still be at home. They would live tbe fam
ily life, but woujd live it under the shadow
of country trees, amid the breezy spaee ot
wide country fields. They would not take
boarding in the country. They had tried
that, and did not altogether like it They
would not spend the season at a summer re
sort They had tried that, and did not al
together like it In the first place they
could not well afford these forms of summer
ing, and, in the second place, they wanted
the comlort and freedom of home for man,
woman and child. So'tbey evolved their
plan, and this was it
A,8nmmer tn the Conntrr.
There were four families in the scheme
four young husbands, four young Wives,
and each couple blessed with one especially
winsome and interesting obild. So there
were 12 people to provide for; 8 adnlts
and 4 children. AH the families were inti
mately associated. The grown people were
friends aud the children were playmates.
Tbey would take a country house together
lor the summer. The husbands found a
place and the wives commended it It was
a plain and roomy Irame house, near a rail
road station, and not too far from the city.
The rent would not be a heavy burden for
four moderate salaries to sustain. And the
cost of food and luel would really be less
than in the city houses, where four small
families must be provided for instead of one
large one.
There would be a saving, also, in the mat
ter of help. At home lour servants would
draw wages in four households. Under this
summer consolidation a housekeeper, with
one strong girl to assist her, would give the
ladies tbeirsnmmer rest, and there wonld
only be two servants to pay instead of four.
So these happy discoverers of the art of
summer pleasure moved some nf their fur
niture into the house, engaged their "help,"
laid in their provisions and began to live
the life of summer content
Enllne Their Quart of Salt.
Now, there is an old saying that you do
not properly know a man until you have
eaten a quart of salt with him. It takes
some little time to eat a quart of salt, and it
takes some little time to become acquainted
with the ins and outs of a man's character.
The same great truth applies with eqnal
force to women, and perhaps with more than
equal force to children especially to other
people's children, and still more especially
if you have children of your own.
These lour children had played together
most delightfully on the city sidewalks, or
when they visited each other's nurseries in
the city home", lint those were other times
than these. Now they were members of
one household, constantly together. On
rainy days-four were shut np in the house
instead of one, as heretofore. It made a
difference.
And when the little Smith boy tumbled
the little Jones girl in th3 mud one day;
and when the little Jones girl pulled the
little Brown girl's hair; and when the little
Brown girl broke the legs of every quadru
ped in the little Bobinson boy's Noah ark;
and when the little Bobinson boy made tbe
little Smith boy's nose bleed with a base
ball bat, the mothers of those infants held
a symposium. The fathers also were led to
compare views; and Hie altogether took on
a less rosy tint
A Few Other Troubles.
Then, too, three of the ladies were com
pelled to wonder why Mrs. Brown's parrot
bad never before seemed such an exasperat
ing nuisance to them as it had now become.
Mrs. Bobinson's yelping terrier found three
hostile critics in three former iriends. Mrs.
Smith played beautifully; but it was now
discovered that she kept in practice by run
ning the scales when other people wanted
to take naps. Airs. Jones gave lasting of
fense by ordering a dinner of corned beef
and cabbage, with a side dish of onions.
None of the others could eat a morsel of the
dinner, and the smell of it did not get out of
the bouse i r two days.
The men rendered themselves as ob
noxious as the women and the children.
But why continue? The summer is still
here, but this promising summer plan is
already a thing ot the past And strained
relations now exist where before there was
only cordial friendship. Tbe incident may
possibly prevent some unhappiness next
summer. James C. Pussy.
WILL BECOME PAEMEES.
Hany Hebrews, If Driven From Bnisla,
Will Farm Colonies in America.
New Tort Bnn.;
Nestled among the rich fruit farms of
Southern New Jersey, abont five miles from
Vineland, and half that distance from
Norma, on the Central Bailroad of New
Jersey, is the colony of Alliance, tbe tnoBt
strange, curious and yet quiet settlement in
this part of the United States at least. It
was founded by Hebrews in the spring,
eight years ago, under circumstances very
similar to those which now obtain among
the brethren of the settlers in their native
land.
Then, as now, persecution had burst forth
with great lury, and many scenes of vio
lence were witnessed before its rigor had
eased families separated, property de
stroyed, women ravished and men mur
dered by bigoted peasants ana mechanics.
It is understood the Hebrews of Bussia are
already contemplating many similar
colonies in America.

CELEBRATED DISHES.
Receipts For Some That Tickled the
Palates of the Great.
ONE OP ALEXANDRE DUMAS' BEST.
A Codfish Chowder That Was the Delight
of Daniel Webster.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A NAME
rWBITTXX rOB TH DISPATCH. 1
The recipes which follow are given not
only because they were the special, favorites
of the celebrated names to whom they owe
their paternity, but also because each one
of tbem is relatively simple, capable of be
ing produced Teadilv, and is of real worth. '
Tbe first of them retains its Prench name
of put-au-feu, a word which in that lan
guage accurately and very sufficiently
designates It It means, according to Pierre
Blot "the meat the vegetables, the season
ings, the spices and the pot or
soup kettle itself that is, every
thing made use of in making broth."
According to the same authority the various
articles of food furnished the French army
are used in this way, and that daily and
that with bread, wine and fruit, it composes
the family dinner of tbe working classes.
The recipe lor the pot-au-f en here given is
that ot Alexander Dumas, tbe eminent man
of letters, and a very Frenchman indeed.
He was regarded rightly as one of the finest
of amateur cooks. His last literary produc
tion was the "Dictiouuire de Cuisine,' a
large work aud one of much labor, which
was published alter his death.
HZ HAS HELP.
It is said that, with the exception of a
small number qf dishes, which are as in
separably connected with his name as "Tbe
Three Guardsmen" or "The Count of
Monte Cnsto," be depended for his recipes
on nn old iriend of his, who was the pro
prietor of a house of entertainment at St
Cloud, a suburb of Paris. Dumas, for this
work, furnished the anecdotes, the gossip,
and tbe literary furbishment, but his iriend,
Yuillemot, furnished the recipes.
The French, who were the first of modern
people to reduce cooking to a science, have
made the fact apparent to all the rest of the
world by identi yiog the dishes with their
own langnage. One may travel from San
Francisco to St Petersburg and he shall
everywhere find tbe menus of all prominent
ho,tels designated by their French names.
Thus it is that a high-sounding word is
frequently used to express the nameoia
very ordinary dish, or otherwise a com
pound of very common ingredients. Bouil
labaisse is the name given to what in En
glish means literally fish soup. Sir Henry
Thompson, one of the most distinguished of
scientific physicians, in his "Food and
Feeding," gives the recipe which is here
reproducer. What he says about it is also
well worth repeating.
A PHYSICIAN'S OPINIOir.
"Nutritious and palatable soups may also
be made from fish, tbe cheaper sorts being
available for stock, while the better sorts arc
aijilicable as garnish. When we (he is speak
nig ot the British isles, but it is applicable
as well to America) possess an adequate,
and therelore cheap supply an event which,
with the enormous resources oi this country,
can only be a question of time valuable
soups and stews offish and of shell fish, will
be available tor the poorer classes, whose
tastes only require educating in order to ap
preciate them, doubtless also a work of some
little time. I need only to refer to oyster
soups, to tbe much esteemed bisques, a term
usually denoting highly flavored purees of
crayfish, and to that delicious dish bouil
labaisse.eaten in penection at at Marseilles.
as among the most agreeable products of
culinary art in this direction.
Sir Henry also takes occasion to say that
Thackeray does not exaggerate the good qual
ities oi this soup when in his rhyme he calls
it a "noble dish." Thackeray "was a great
lover of shell fish, especially of oysters, and
when he went back to England alter his
visit to America, he carried with him the
most endearing recollections of numberless
suppers in which Saddle Backs or Blue
Points figured conspicuously. The verse
alluded to is from "The Ballads."
ALEXANDRE DUMAS' EECIPE.
.
The basis of a good pot-au-fea Is beef.
Choose tbe freshest and, juiciest meat vou can
find; let it be thick; for if thin It will be ex
hausted in tbe cooking; do not wash it, or you
will roD it ot a portion ot Its juice.
When the meat has been separated from the
bones tier it np, so that It may keep its shape,
and put it In the pot with a pint of water to
every pound of meat
We have advised you to separate the bones
from tbe meat, not indeed because we banish
tbem from tbe pot-an-feu; on the contrary, we
reserve ihem fur a separate place, only we
break tbem up well with a mallet, because tbe
more they are broken tbe more, effectually Is
tbe gelatine extracted from them.
Then we place tbem In a horsehair bag with
any scraps of foul rabbit, partridge or roast
Dizeon which may be found In the larder: in
tact the remains of yesterdays dinner.
Next, put yonr pot on the tire; you are doubt
less aware that an earthenware pot Is prefera
'ble to an Iron pot; beat It gently; otherwise. If
tbe meat 13 attacked by too high a temperature
tbe albumen will coagulate In tbe Interior, and
the o-mazome will be prevented from becoming
dissolved, and the broth will be wanting In
flavor.
When the broth has been well skimmed and
has begun to boil, put In some salt, and. accord
ing to the quantity, three or tour carrots, three
or iour turn.ps, a conple of parsnips, a bunch
of celerv and leeks tied together, and lastly
three onions, one of which should have a head
of garlic stuck. In it, the other two having a
clove each.
If, following the bent of yonr caprice or a
long established habit, yon like to add a piece
of mutton or veal to the ingredients we hare
named, roast or grill it first (to deprive it of
grease).
Seven hours of gentle and regular boiling
are necessary to give the broth all the desired
qualities.
SIE HEN BY THOMPSON'S BOUILLABAISSE.
Take three or four pounds of fish; whiting,
sole, small haddock, red mullet and following
the Marseilles receipt strictly throughout, a
very small Uonger eel or a portion of one. All
these are to be cleaned, cut in slices and their
bones removed; two dozen of mussels to be
added.
Put into a stew pan two onions sliced, two
tomatoes peeled, a carrot sliced; then, in a
coarse net bag, the following: Two bay leaves,
two slices of lemon, half the zest ot a Seville
orange, two cloves, a little thyme, several
sprigs of paisley, a clove of garlic, two red
capsicums cut, aud a little saffron; add salt
and pepper and a little pimento.

Some persons eat it with fisb.
It Is good cold, and, if bottled directly it is
made, may bo stored for Several days. It Is the

served.
DANIEL WEBSTEB'S CHOWDEB.
A fresh codfish weighing six pounds forms
the basis. To this add four tablespoonfuls of
onions previously fried with salt pork, one and
a half pounds of sea biscuit broken into bits,
one auart of n ell mashed boiled potatoes, one
teasDoonful of thyme and one ot tumour

iritua few cloves and grains of allspice, 35
oysters, a little black pepper and three slices
of lemon.
Put all in a granite or enameled kettle; cover
with an inch of water, boll gently tor one hour,
stirring carefully to prevent burning.

IWStTTEN FOB THE DISPATCH. 1
"I have a good one this timet" said Wop
pie Fatwit, as he entered tbe club.
There was a look of incredulity upon the
faces of the group by the window.
"Are you sure?" asked one.
"See ll I ain'tl I was walking with that
brilliant Miss Beane-Baker this afternoon
when we met a red-headed girl.
" 'Where is the white horse?' asked Miss
Beane-Baker.
",'Come, now, Miss Beane-Baker,' I re
plied, 'that is a horseradish! Hal hai I
never heard Miss Beane-Baker laugh so
heartilyl"
But the group by the window did not
laugh. It was as solemn as a Philadelphia
back alley at midnight "What the deuce
is he driving at?" asked one of another.
And then, even while yet Woppie stood
expectantly waiting for the laughter which
never came, one ot the croup went to a
table, got a comic paper aud took it to the
bewildered Woppie Fatwit "Here it is,
Woppie," he said, pointing out the joke.
"Sou got it wrong, as usual. It was not
horse radish, bnt horse chestnut you meant
to say."
But Woppie had disappeared.
And some of the group by the window
took up a copy of "The Light of Asia" and
repeated softly, as in a reverie.
"The dew drop slips into the shining sea."

How Emperor William's Martial Spirit
Crop Ont la tbe Fair Sex.
New York Tribune.
Not content with appointing his aged
graudmotber, Queen Victoria, to the colonel
cy o a crack dragoon regiment, aud induc
ing her to have a portrait painted of herself
arrayed in tbe light bins tnnic and gold
embroidered shoulder straps of the corps,
Emperor William has now issued a decree
ordering that all the female employes of the
postal service shall in future wear a uniform
composed of dark blue tunic with yellow
cloth facings, collars and cuffs and adorned
by a suitable number of silver-plated but
tons. As yellow is an exceedingly trying
color to the complexion, the various post
mistresses and clerks are reported to be on
the verge of a mntiny, which wonld cer
tainly paralyze the Imperial Mail Service
in more senses than one.
Like his brother monarch of Dahomey,
whose bodyguard is entirely composed of
amazont, the young sovereign ot Germany
seems to be bent on endowing Venus with
the attributes of Mars, and not only his ven
erable grandmother, but also bis mother,
his sisters aud various other of his female
relatives have been appointed to colonelcies
and captaincies in his army, and appear at
reviews dressed in tbe embroidered and
laced tunics of their respective regiments.
SHOEING UNDEB WAXES.
The Smart Tonng 3Ian nt tba.Seasuoraand
Hla Clever Trick.
New York Tribune.
Here comes a smart fellow down the to
boggan chute, smoking a short cigar as he
slides. He has taken occasion to shout to
his fellows that he will wager a hat, or "eat
his shirt," or "bet his sweet life," that he
can continue to smoke the stub under water.
Having attracted the amount of attention
necessary to his enjoyment of the day, down
he comes. ' ,
With considerable skill, just before he
goes under, he whips the lighted end of the
stump into his capacious mouth, and when
under water expels his breath strongly
through tbe cigar. This blows out a quan
tity of smoke, which ascends through tbe
water, and tbe'smoker follows it, quickly
readjusting the cigar, hot end out, as he
wipes the water out of his eyes. The trick
is well done, anJ considerable glory accrues
to the trickster, chiefly in his own mind.

illustrating his remarks, the professor repeated-a
"catch question" that otteu puz
