It was sketched from life on board H. M. 8. Bellerophon, by Captain Marryat, R. N., when Na poleon was a prisoner on that vessel.

A good "kid" story from the Hutch inson Gazette: It was the boss' birth day. The office hoy knew It, because he had heard the boss' wife Bay bo. The office boy worshiped the boss and had bought him a birthday pres ent Often ho had heard the boss say that the only presents he liked were cigars, providing they were ton-cent cigars, and he was worried for fear the boss might not like his present. The boss came in and threw open his desk. Lying there he saw a Bmall parcel. He opened it and found that it contained a cigar. He looked at it closely. It was a nickel cigar. "Huh," said tho boss, disgustedly. Then he noticed that there was writ ing on the paper. He read: "Hapy liirthday, i dident buy a ten center cause i only had a nlckle." The boss bit the end off the cigar, reached In his pocket and drew out a match and lighted the weed. He puffed critically a minute. "I didn't know they made such good cigars for a nickel," he said.

Mrs. Cal Romy, a thrifty housewife of this place, recently had an experi ence with some poultry which was unusual, to say the least. One of her hens hatched a brood of chickens, all of which were white but one. The hen attempted to kill the one black chicken and was prevented from doing so only by Mrs. Remy transferring the black chick to anoth er hen. This. hen, however, also had a brood of white chicks, and she too objected to the black chick to the ex tent that she tried to kill it. Finally, Mrs. Remy took the de spised black chicken, more ''end than alive, and placed It In a cage with a canary bird. Hero the chick was not molested, but was permitted to peep to its heart's content. The peeping, how ever, finally got on the nerves of the canary and now he hns ceased to sing and makes no noise snve that of peep ing, In Imitation of his cage mate.

I dldiu't know that a white silk waist which had become yellow could bo restored but The American Cook ing Magazine says that it can be: Dip in tepid soft water contalng to each quart a tablespoonful of ammo nia water and a few drops of bluing; wring out, and if yellow, add a little more bluing to the water until it Is fully restored. Do not wring tightly; hang in the shade and partly dry; then press with hot iron between folds of cotton while damp. Use for Tins. Here is a good way to make use of empty sirup tins: The 4-pound size is perhaps the most useful, but others will do as well. Wash them clean, then procure a small tin of enamel, any color you like, but pale blue Is pretty; give them three coats on the outside, allowing time for each coat of enamel to dry before putting on the next. Cut out from bills or papers the letters you require to make the words showing the con tents of the tins, such as peas or flee. Stick each letter on separately and as neatly as' possible and give bno coat of crystal varnish to the tin. It can be washed when soiled. New York World. Cross Stripe Curtains. Many housekeepers prefer tho cross stripe curtains to the Swiss for the reason that they keep fresh long er and do not require expert launder ing when they must be cleaned. Wrhlte Swiss requires Btnrching, and this. calls for skilful ironing. Nowadays cross stripe curtains cost no more than the other kind, for I saw last week a nice pair In an ec ru ground, tho stripes in bine, red or green as preferred, for $1, and if one wished to make a valance material to match could be bought at slxteeu cents a yard. Another style at $1.50 a pair dis played a colored background, the stripes white. Material to mntch was twenty-five cents a yard. New York Telegram.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan, drop in tho mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, and fry on both sides until a nice brown. Baked Eggs Separate tho whites and yolks of as many eggs as desired. Season the whites with salt and pep per and beat stiff. Then keep on boat ing until they have lost their shine and look dry. (If beaten to the point of dryness they will not fall after baking.) Spread roughly on a buttered platter. Make, with teaspoon, a hollow in tho whites for each yolk. Pour yolks In to these hollows and bake in a slow oven until tho whites are a delicate brown. Bread Puffs If the wheat bread is light enough for the oven at breakfast time have ready some hot lard in a deep kettle; with the thumb and two fingers pull oft some of the dough, quite thin, and cut it some 2 or 3 inches in length. As these pieces are cut drop them in the lard and fry like doughnuts. At table they are eaten like biscuit. They may also be served in a vege table dish with a dressing of hot cream, seasoned with pepper and salt. Strawberry .Trifle Put one cup powdered sugar and one cup (heap ing) of strawberries and tho unbeaten white, of one ece into a large mixing bowl.

MAILED EGGS UNPOPULAR Scramble Themselves En Route and Play Havoc With Letters. Eggs, as an article of mail transpor tation, are not popular with postal au thorities.
