THB LAND OF USED-TO-BE.
I JAMES WH1TCOMB KH.BT.
Beyond the pnrple. Tiszt trre
of Summer's utmost boundaries:
Beyond the ui:9, beyond the sea.
Bryotid the range of eyes like these.
And only in the reach of the
Fnraptured raz of memory,
Tbere lies the land lon lost to me.
The laud of Used-to-tie.
A land enchanted, such as strung
Id eolden seas h-n s rens clung
Al D( tbeir drlpuins brliiKS, and sung
lo Jason in that mystic tongue,
'1 hat dazed men lth Its melody;
On such a land, with such a sea.
Kissing Its shores e'ern illy.
Is the lair Ued-to-Be.
A land where music eTer girds
The air with bells of slneinjz birds.
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even In the lowing nerds
A meaning lives so t: to me;
Lost laughter ripples Huvi:lly
From Hps br.mm.-d o'er lib all tnegles
Of rare old lued-to Be.
0 land of lore and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and sh.idy spots.
Of coolest, greenest, grassy plots.
Embossed with wild lorget-u.e-nots.
And all the blooms that cuauingiT
Lift th'-lr faces up to me
Out of the nast : I kiss to me
The lips of Use.l to-be.
1 loe ye f 11, and with wet eyes
Turned gllinmerlnly on the skies.
My blessings like your perluines rise,
Till o'er my soul a silence lies.
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than any melody
Or its sweet echo, ya, all three.
My dreams ol Csed-to-be.

Tostex-Mother to Woodehuck.
It was the smallest woodcbuck I
Bad ever seen, not much larger thau
i large rat. Its head and shoulders
were so large in proportion to tba
body as to give It a comical look. It
could not walk about yet, and had
never before been above ground.
Every moment or two it would whistia
cheerily, as tbe old one does when
tafe In Its deu and the farm doz Is
fiercely baying outside. We took tha
youngster home, and my little boy
was delighted over tbe prospect of a
Ume woodehuck.
We captured them all, and tht
oung family was again united. How
these poor half-famished creatures
did lay hold of tbe spoon when they
got a taste of tbe milk! One could
Dot help laughing. Their little shin
ing black paws were so handy and so
imootb; they seemed as if incased in
kid gloves. They throve well upt n
milk, and then upon milk and clover.
But after the novelty of the thing
had worn off, the boy found he bad
encumbered himself with serious
duties in assuming the position of
fuster-mother to this larg family;
so he gave tbem ail away but one,
the first one captured, which had
outstripped all the others in growth.
This 6oon became a very amusing
pet, but it always protested when
handled, and always objected to con
finement I should mention that the cat hao.
a kitten about tha age of the chuck,
and as she had more milk than the
kitten could dispose of, the chuck,
when wo flr-t got him, was often
placed in the nest with the kitten,
and was regarded by the cat as ten
derly as her own, and allowed to
nurse freely. Thus a friendship
gprang, up between the kitten and
the woodchuck which iasted as long
as the latter lived. They would p!ay
together precisely like two kittens;
clinch and tumble about and roll
upon the gra;3 in a very amusing
vrtj. Finally tha wowh'buek took
up his abode under the floor of the
kitchen and gradually relapsed into a
half-wild state. Ho would permit
no familiarities from any one save
the kitten, but each day they would
. have a turn or two at their old gams
of rough-and-tumble. The chuck
was now over half-grown, and pro
cured his own living. One day the
dog, who had all along looked upon
him with a jealous eye, encountered
bim too far from cover, and his
career ended then and there. Cen
tury.
Advice to Ten hers.
Learn to think. The way you get
knowledge is more important than
the knowledge you got The mental
activity is the important thing. The
teacher, of all tho people in tha
world, should bo a good thinker. By
this is uot meant a logician, nor a
metaphysician, but a gemilu? thinker,
clear, discriminating, keen, vigorous.
Learn how to teach. This is a spe
cial art. No training for anything
else is the best training for
teaching. Tho principles are of
greatest, impoitance. Select a few,
or have them selected for you, and
study them until they are to you
what the a, b, c's are, i. e., the perl
fectly familiar material for the bui d
ing up of all wisdom and wit needed
for teaching, as tbe letters form all
the hundreds of thousands of words

best sec.ircs obedience. Make the
best of everything, since many of the
failures in teaching come from inabil

Women wit.li Whiskers.
Hearded women have existed at all
periods of the world's history. Even
Herodotus, the "Father of History,"
gives us au account of one Pedasnes,
"who lived above IIalicarna-sui," a
priestess of Minerva, whi se chin
regularly budded with a large beard
whenever any r.uo'ic calamity im
pended. eo Herodotus, book I.,
pnge 73. Lartcl Garetji, a woman of
Copenhagen, had a beard reaching to
her waist. Cnarlcs XII. of Sweden
bad a female grenadier in his army
wno possessed the beard as well as the
courage of a man. Margaret, Duchess
of Austria and Governess of the
Jleihcrliuds, bad a large, wiry, st.fl
board, of which she was very proud.
Of late years, Albert, Duke of Bv
varla, reporti having had a young
lady gtverness in his household who
was the "prou l possessor of a very
large bljck bcar.l."

SOMETHI.NO of a woman.
I.V AMES CLEMEN'T AMBROS8.
Many of the suggestions to women,
if taken, should be added to, then
panned on to men. And with a "wo
man" in the caption, of course the
brotherhood will not miss thin.
What xhould a woman be? The best
she kuows how, and a stndent of tha
how. Opportunities are not accidents;
bnt, like the fruit of the vice, hang be
neath foliage need looking for, feel
ing after. Nono so frail or poor she
may not have charjee for excellence
uuto others made to order made to fit
her band; however small. And what
a woman can do, tbe good man can try.
And what mates a woman good
looking? The cosmetics dashed npon
the surface by a soul too large for
self too large to be caged. Tha hand
of a kind set is an artists in frenti tints;
BDd the foreign memory of it sees no
wrinkles. Kecognized sympathy with
human sorrow took off the mask of
I 'aiucess from the roughest features of
the century, disclosing -'there the
beanty of nobility.
Senator "Xbad' Stevens onco oon
d noted to the White Houso an old
German woman seeking a reprieve for
her soldier boy, conrt-martialed to be
shot. Mr. Lincoln said: "Army offi
cers complain that I am interfering
with discipline." The senator said
nothing, and Mr. Lincoln pat a mo
ment looking at the old mother, then
turned and wrote the reprieve. Pass
ing out behind the Fenator, tne woman
mnttered to herself, and he aflked:
''What's the matter, madam?"
"Oh, sor, folks did a big lie so 'bout
Lr. Linitkam; they tolo me he were
homely like old hedge fence, when he
are the most handsomest man I ever
seen."
Yes, kindness is the most flattering
artist we can sit for a fictnre to. Onr
memory of mother's face is full of
tender words, little pats of kindness,
nightly vigils ronnd our measled conch,
great reprieves from punishment de
served: aud we think not on ter trem
bling hand in age, her feeble footstep
and wribkled brow at ber lust visit
home only remember the handsomest
woman we ever saw. Perhaps the old
rabli was rit?ht, that "Ood could not
be everywhere, aud so made mothers."
At any rate, not one that secondeth hu
motion weareth an ngly look.
Form, the soft outline in flesh, is not
the lE.'Aoitre of beauty to thinking
eyes, indeed, there is no finer physi
cal mouliung than the fatted calf, the
well ewed lamb in grejsn pasture", the
blooded colt whose dam gives all sum
mer to his toilet, we call them "beau
ties," but we meuo they are fino an
imals. And tho girl whoso only ambi
tion is to be fanltlessly "groomed" will
hardly come to bo worth uioro.
Why, yon never know whether a fao
is bandcome till you've read tho story
written there; and you can soon tell
whether it ia out of the nickel library
or the hand-book of tho best home and
tbe only heaven. Bobes sro "pretiy"
when their habitat borders on tbe
washbowl, with pink and pinafore
tbeir aDUci; but ihey do not belong to
the flora of beanty. Charles Augustas,
in tbe crecn singe, thinks if he thinks
at all that Clara Bell is almost divine;
but commonly it is "divine foolish
rees" which only tho sun of experience
will tan to common sense. Girls are
morally nice, fair, attractive many of
them- especially if studying to culti
vate all their gifts; their mother;
should be beautiful
beanty takes time time with a
beautiful purpose attached. The fad
of the press is to say things by courtesy
called fnnny about "maidens of many
summers," thongh less perhaps now
that the maidens are eliminating from
ed tonal inkstundH so many mescaline
minds that have worked themselves
empty; object lessons are tho bent
school-masters again&t prejudice.
Why, I know lots of "old maids" his
tory will fall in love with; a class in
creasing by choice, affectionately
wedded to a good pnrpeso, tho honey
moon never sotting, and their brains
adding mental l.nso and hope to the
world, even coaching posterity bett -r
than some mothers. A symptom of
higher social life it is, that sozno wo
men help thetrjKelves. not let out the
job to a wooden man or the leather
punch-bowl.
To have companioned with man it
not always the sign royal of woman's
pood luck or great wisdom. Man,
however, is a good companion, when a
good man and the woman is good.
lSut tho spirit on guard at tho portal
to Hnppy Land will not ask the
womaDly soul whether sho had a hus
band, thongh he mny admit some be
came they hail, reciting that "these
are they which have come ont of (,reat
tribulation." Xo man, and fewer
women, will be saved by the gTaee of f
wedding day.
There is a woman worth a second
look; I sometimes politely turn and
tnko it, and would circuit tho square to
get her "good-morumg" somothiag
to flavor all the day snd livo aa aroma
in memory. Sho ii neither g:vy nor
gloomy; never riisbint, never familiar,
jet always nppronchablu; never loud
of speech nor afrr.id to S euk, always a
timely word; never dror-sy, never
dowdy you don't remember whnt sho
had on; not whit fashion calls "a
bcanty,"yet a boautiful face, an inspira
tion to purest respect for womankind;
not young, not old, yet the morning
Ibht in her home, the evening i-tur in
hur community; the prond ore humble
beforo her, and tho humble proudly
look up to her; she reigns by the divine
right of helping others to reign, and
her subjects novcr ask why they
obey.
Now, hers is a heanty the brnsh can
not copy; it h:.H ripened amid the vines
of dorolion to a redeeming purpoBe,
touching homo with hcavoc, bringing
buck the wnuderinj, kiudliug the cold
heurtb, feeding tho h'i!yry, visiting
the sick novcr visttod woh, coaxing tho
cnrclevs to do likew ise, breathing gos
pel into government in a word, fol
lowing Christ. This is why the soul
witbiu bales tbe outer woman with the
fuce of glad tidings and the adoration
of good men. '

One would suppose that a liar was
very easy to define. Tbe dictionary
says that it is "a person who know
ingly utters a falsehood with intention
to dec-ire." Yet it is a well known
fact, that the untruthful person does
not necessarily deceive, where as tbe
uncompromising honest character often
unmeaningly does so. Sometimes one
who is most decidedly unreliable, and
one who can har!ly speak without fal
sifying the subject, yet scarcely suc
ceeds in fooling even tbe most obtuse.
Give "a dog a bad name" is a very old
proverb, and works in another
way, for vice-versa a "Jog with
a good name" carries conviction
to all. Hence if information is re
quired as to bow to attain this very
doubtful accomplishment of lying, we
would say: First of all cultivate a
good memory for otherwise yonr nar
rative will be folLoL cortriixtion",
and wQ.to iiie person who tuns con
ducts himself. His fate is sealed, and
no after explanations can join the two
ends of tbe story.
The truth, the absolute truth at
times, is the only way to bear off a
bare faced lie when the occasion de
mands. One unnecessary fabrication,
and yon are storing up witnesses
against yonrself and when at last dis
covered the work of years will be de
stroyed. He who is deficient in the
want of sense, as well aa morals, fools
no one, for Le often forgets what be
has said from day to day, and his talk
is a mass of absurd inconsistencies.
Now the morbidly truthful person
deceives sometimes, not only others
but himself as well, aad in his intense
desire to give every fact, lie unwit
tingly passes over the principal points,
and enlarges on others, thus putting
too much emphasis on nnimpoitaut
thing, and leaving momet.tons mntter
in the background, and he afterwards
to his horror finds that he has con
veyed wrong improipit . 'Iherfore

These forms of bread are much liked
for teas aud snppers, and some of the
larger acrts, into the composition of
which egas enter, are favorite break
fast and luncheon di-hes. If attention
is paid to one point there never need
be a failure in making them, either
with baking-powder of with cream of
tartar and sod.; baking-powder is a
judicious mixture of cream of tartar
and soda, or their chemical equivalents,
with some fariuaceone vehicle. When
these two ingredients are moistened
with water, milk, eggs, or any liquid,
carbonic gas is liberated, which, forc
ing its way up through the dough,
makes it full of little holes; in other
words, makes it light, therefore the
dough mnst be baked befoie the gas
escapes from it; the baking of the
dough so far hardens its textnre or
subtttance that tbe holes or air cells are
fixed in it, and in this way it is mi le
light; this fact regulates the lightness
of any dough made with either of these
chemioul agents, and shows the n'--oe-sity
for getting the dough into the
oven as soon as possible after it is
mixed. Tbe gas is produced by tbe
reaction of the acid of the cream of tar
tar npon the alkali of the soda; for this
reason ti e crem of tartar may Le dis
penstd with when sour milk is used to
moisten the dough, the natural acid of
the milk replacing it; the addition of
soda as a corrective of tbe acidity of
griddle-cakes or soured bread-dough is
based upon tbe same condition; so, also,
is the use of soda with some forms of
molasses where there is present enough
natural acid to cause a foaming condi
tion when soda is mixed with it; if
dough moistened with it while it is still
foaming is baked at one?, it will be
light.
The lightness produced in breadjjud.
cukes by tht naiJ-efeSfffa its baseiTchielly
Dpon'tLe quantity of air which is in
corporated with the substance of the
ggs, or with tbe dough or batter, by
long-continued beatinc:. The same
result ol lightness would follow if a
dough or butter made simply of flour,
salt ana water were beaten until foam
ing, and then baked at once; this is the
principle upon which Graham Oems
are made without using either eggs or
bakiug powder. It is tbe air mixed
with snow that makes batters light
when newly fallen snow is added ' to
tbem; two tablespoonluls will take the
pla e of an e g if the bitter is baked aa
soon as tbe snow is added to it.
BAKlSa-POW'DER BISCUIT.
Sift together a qnart of flour, two
heaping teaspoonfuls of baking-powder,
and one of salt; rnb a baking-pan
with lard or butter, and see that tbe
ore ii is hot enough to bake quickly.
Chop two tablespoon fuls of lard or
butter into tbe sifted Hour, quickly
mix in enongh water to form a dough
which can be rolled ont an inch thii-k ;
work rapidly ; cut out the biscuit, lay
thera in the pan, brnsh them with
melted butter, or a little sugar and
milk, and pnt them at once into the
oven to bake; as soon a? they begin to
brown, break one open to see if they
are done; do not let them burn; ami
when they are done serve tbem hot
with plenty of butter.
MARYLAND BISCUIT.
Kub two tablespoonfnls of lard into
one iiuart of nifte.1 flour with a level
teaspoonful of salt- add sufficient milk
to make a rather stiff dough, working
the m lk into tbe flour witu tho hand
pnt the donah npon a floured pastry
board, and beat it with tbe rolling-pin,
folding it as it is flattened, until it blis
ters and cracks; then tear off pieces
the size of an egg, roll them round
witb the bands, prick them with a fork
on the top, and bake them in a moder
ate oven. Tbe beating will usually
occupy half an hour. In the South a
machine is used, consisting of a corru
gated wooden roller, set half an inch
from the bottom of an open wooden
box, and turned with a crank placed
outside tbe box; the dough is repeated
ly pattsed under this roller nntil it is
ready to bake.
GRAHAM OEMS.
Real Graham Oems are made by
mixing Graham flour and water to a
tbick batter, w.th a little salt, and then
beating the batter nntil it ia full of
little bubles of air; it is then pnt ioto
hot bnttered gem-pans, and quickly
baked in a hot oven. Graham biscuit
may be made with baking-powder if
desired, nsing Graham flour instead of
whrat.
POTATO BOLLS.
Peel and slice some white potatoes,
boil them in salted boiling water, and
tben dram and mash them; to each
pint of potatoes a low four benping
tablespoonfnls of butter, a teaspoonful
of salt, and half a cupful each of milk
and liquid yeast, or a small cake of
compressed yeast dissolved in half a
cupful of warm water; add a pint of
flour, and set tba dough so made to rise,
in a moderately warm place, covered
with a towel, for three hours; then
knead the dough for five minutes,
make it into little rolls, put them in a
buttered baking pan, cover them to
keep them warm, and let them rise to
twice their original size; when their
volume is doubled bake them for about
twenty minutes, in a hot oven; serve
them hot.

ounces of the nut kernels are obtained;
pour boiling water on them and let
them s'and for about five minutes,
nntil the skins can be ea'ily rubbed off
with a drv towel: this process is called
i "blanching. " After tlie aimouue to
blanched chop tbem very fine, or pre
ferably, pound them in a mortar to a
smooth paste; pnt this paste into a pint
and a half of milk, with a tablespojn
ful of sugar and a very small pinch of
saffron; et it over the fire, and lot it
simmer for five minutes, then pat the
mixture into a strong towel and wring
all the nnlk from the almonds, the
latter not usually being used; although
i he towel straining may be dispensed
with. Dissolve half an onnee of corn
dressed yeast in milk, or add to it a
gill of liquid yeast, and make it into a
softdongh with about three pounds of
flour and a teaspoonful of salt. Cover
the dongh iu an earthea or wooden
bowl with a tbick towel, folded several
times, and let it rise nntil it ia light
and foaming; then knead it for twenty
minutes, make it out in little rolls, put
them in the baking-pan to rise for
about tweuty minutes, and tben bake
them in a moderate oven.
COOOASUT BISCUIT.
Remove tbe shell and dark skin from
a fresh oocoannt, aud grate it; simmer
it slowly for half an hour in a quart of
milk, and then squeeze all the milk
from the nut in a strong towel, as di
rected in the recipe for "Turkish
1 Col Is," or use tbe grated cocoanut in
tbe hot milk. Add to the milk one illg
of liquid veast, or half an ounce of
compressed yeiift after the milk has
become lukewarm; add also a teaspoon
ful of salt, aud flour enongh to make a
soft dongh; let it rise until light, keep
ing it coverod with a folded towel; and
tben knead it, let it rise again, and
bake it as above directed, in the form
of biscuit or in small loaves. Tbe grat
ed fresh nut may be need without
scalding it in the milk ; it should be
well mixed with about three pounds of
flour before tbe yeast and milk are add
ed. This form of the bread is less di
gestible than that made by first simmer
ing the grated nut in the milk.

The Official Souvenir
of th Great Exposition
The extraordinary and growing demand for these Coins, and the de
sire on the part of the Directors'that equal opportunities may be afforded for
their purchase, have made it necessary to enlarge the channels of distribution.
To relieve themselves of some responsibility, the Directors have invited
THE MERCHANTS
Throughout the N-tion to unit with C.e Banks in placing Columbian Half
Dollars on cale. This is done that th- masses of the people, and those
living at remote points, may be afforded the best possible opportunity to
obtain the Coins. J
THE FORTUNATE POSSESSORS
of SOUVENIR COINS will be those who are earliest in seizing upon these
new advantages.
$10,000 Was Paid For The First Coin
They are all alike, the issue is limited, and time must enhance their
value. The price is One Dollar each,
HOW TO GET THE COINS:
Go to your nearest merchant or banker, as they are likely to have
them. If you cannot procure them in this way, send direct to xxL orderine
not less than Five Coins, and remitting One Dollar for each Coin ordered
Send instructions how to ship the Coins and they will be sent free
ofexpense. Remit by registered letter.or send express or post-office money

Stobt told iw thb Seattle Journal,
Mabch, 1892: -"A ship was lviDg;at !
tlie warl st Astoria wsiuug lor iuo ice
to break. Tbe sailors from lack of
anything to do idly watched the crows
that surrounded the ship lookiog for
bits of food. Tbey could not get tbe
scraps out of the water but stood on
the blocks of ice hoping that tbey
might drift near enough for tHem to
catch them. A flock of tea gulls flew
about screaming flapping tbeir wings,
snatching tbe food from the water and
soon we notioed a sort of understanding
between the crows and tbe gulls, the
latter would put the food tbey took
from the water on the floating ice near
the starring crows and tbe men looked
and wondered to see dumb creatures
helping each other in their sore dtresa
and pondered on the language of those
creatures that we arrogantly call dumb."
