 W.l Kil M YOUNG FOLKS. GUfi COOKING OLUB. I am an only dog, a pnre-blood d St. Bernard, and I belong to an only eirl be- sides us two onliea there's an only boy, Jim, an only horse, and an only spiteful cat yes, there's an only mother an J a father, and an only cook and we all live in the only house on oDr road and because there was so much " only" abour it, thfi mf ther said it was toe lonely for Msrjorie.'so she let her get up the first ani only " cookiEg clno" in our place. That is bow the miserable thing got start- ed and tie other day I heard ihs only father fay that he " hoped all little girls would have cookiug clubs, it was such a good idea." But, you see, he doesn't be- long to it Jim doean'i either, and he's mad because he's kept out. That made him the more willing fo write this for me â€" "from dictation," he says. I do the dictation, and he does the other part and it must hurt him, for he makes aw- ful faces, and keeps his tongue rolling around outside his mouth fearful, and his fingers are blacker than mud. It's the ink, I suppose, and I'm thankful Marjorie didn't teach me to write. She has nearly everything else, from " dying dead" to carrying her books to school. There are four in the club besides me. I'm an " honorary," and "don't count," Harriet says but I've decided that is a mis- take â€" Biuce our last meeting, at Dr. Pep- sin's, The Doctor was away that day, and there isn't any mother-at his house, and the kitchen wowiaa didn't approve of the "club," so she took an " afternoon out," and left the gills to " clean up their own messes." The rule is to make four new things at every meeting, one for each girl. Marjorie read cff the list breaded cutlets, stewed potatoes, asparagus on toast, and "pop- overs" for dessert. They're always as happy as birds, but this time they were happier. There wasn't a soul in the house to bother them, and they meant to have such a nice supper ready when the Doctor came home. Marjorie had the cutlets to prepare, Helen Gray the asparagus, Laura Reed the potatoes, and Harriei the "pop- overs." Marjorie prepared her cutlets " exactly like directions, " but they didn't act like Bridget's they stuck to the piiu, and burnt and emoked horridly. Laura t bought there should have been some grease in the psm first to fry them with, but the mother at our house had cautioned them not to get things too rich, so they didn't use any. Well, they fussed and puckered around, and the more they worked the more the things went crooked, till they were all friz- zled and scorched, and htarriet said they might as wtllgive that dish up, for she knew her father never would touch it, he was so careful about his food. Maijorie called, " Dan Dan " and I crawled from under the great table and followed her out-of-doors. She put the hot pan down on the grass, and aiter it had cooled somewhat I ate the stu£F. It was hard work, much as I love meat but then I had to help them oat. Jim calls me a " travelling waste barrel," and says I'm only admitted to the club for practical purposes. Laura ran out to see me eat, and then we had a tumble on the grass I knew she ought to be in the kitchen, but I was glad, all the same, to romp with her, she's such a jolly one, and tells me so often that I'm a splendid fellow We were having a good time, when the other cooks began shrieking, " Laura Laura come quick your pota- toes have boiled over and are all burning up ' We just flew back to that kitchen, and, sure enough, the milk had run out of the pan upon the stove, and the contents had "stuck" worse than the cutlets did. " Oh, what shall I do I they are so bit- ter and spoiled 1 it won't be any kiod of a supper without them I'm so sorry " She began to cry but Helen just lifted the smoking dish and carried it out, then asked Harriet for a cloth and basin to wash off the Steve. That girl always goes about as quietely as a mouse, and I've heard the others say, " Hurry up, Helen don't be 80 slow 1" but she never spoils anything, and is generally ready to help them. " Oh, foolish L^Lura girl, crying for pota toes 1" she said, in the drollaat way. vVe all laughed, and Harriet joined in making her happy again. " It doesn't matter a bit, now the cut- lets are gone. Who'd want potatoes alone There's plenty of bread and butter down- stairs, and I'll open a box of sardines. With the asparagus and lovely ' pop- overs,' Me shall do nicely." So they stood about to watch Helen dish up her asparagus, which was one thing "just right," they declared and after it was put in the tin oven to keep warm, they all went out for some fun while the dessert was bakinp. By-andby Han'iet'a father came to the kitchen door and found me, and I suppose I must have looked as forlorn as I felt. He sat down ou the step and talked to me. " Poor fellow 1 have they set you to swal- low that dose Well, you needn't." He took up the pan, and saw the two round places which had been burned m his grass. "Whew!' said hej; "I must teach those midgets better than that. Now run to the children, Dan, and I'll take care of this â- tuff. ' I was glad enough to go. Soon we went in to set the table, and. it all looked very nice. The dessert had been taken out of the oven, and seemed a success but " the proof of the pudding is in the eat- ing," Jim says. It was that time, I know. The little round yellow things looked very fat at first; but by the time the folks were ready to eat them they had all solemned do?vn to "look pretty glum," the Doctor re- maiked. He wasn't going to take any, till he glanced at hia child's face, and something in it made him say, " Yes," but, luckily for him, just at that minute he was called, and had to leave the table. I noticed a good many queer faces were made when the girls had helped themselves, and they didn't sit much longer at the table; and when they cleared away, they brought me a dishful of their " pop-overs." I looked at my little mistress as pitifnlly as I could, but she wouldn't understand. " Eat it, good dog," she commanded, andâ€" I did If I had not, this tale would never have been told. I quite liked the taste of the mixture, for it was sweet, and I love sugar bat it had a wretched way of staying in my moatli, and sticking to my teeth, and feeling queer in my throat oat 1^ using my paws to poke it arennd, wa4 my tongae as Jim does when he writes, I got through at laEt,Vand joine the club on the lawn. We were having a lovely game of tag, when all at once I felt something strauge in my inside. Sometimes I have swallowed booes without cracking, but it wasn't that kind of a feel it was heavier, and gummy- like, and more aching and it made me lie down quick. I rolled over, and the more I tried to get away from the queemess, the deeper in me ic went, till I finally ran off up the village street but I didn't get clear of it even there. By-»nd-hy my head began to *h!z around just like Jim's rop, and it sounded as if a dozen " stiog bees" were inaide my ears. 1 lay down by 1 he church 8t«ps. ' but I couldn't endnre keeping still so I got up and turned to meet the children, who were ' coming after me. By that tinn the trouble had gone down into my legs too, and they wobbled around so that I couldn't do any- thing with them. A lot of men and boys near the Post- office began to laugh at me, and one cried out, " Mad dog "Then son'ebody else said, ' Run for your lives I â€" mad dog mod dog ' I didn't see any sach animal about, but I 'didn't want to meet him any more than they, so I tried to run too, but I scarcely could, on account of my feet acting fo odd- ly, and my head grew worse and worse. After a while I found it was tney were shouting about, and that some men were chasing me with scones. Chasing me, Dan Doggins,' who cof t seven hundred dollars when I was bought for Maijorie They made such a noise it scared me nearly to death, and when I tried to get to the rest of the club they were frightened too, and scampered away from me as fast as they could. The four little wkite caps bobbed up and down, rushing ahead, and I staggered on, growing more blind every step but I finally reached the liwn, and dropped down on the grass. The people kept hallooing as if they were crazy, but I was too sick to pay any heed till I heard a man say, " Here's a gun shoot him quick before he bites somebody." I tried to get up and show them I was all right, but I couldn't, and I thought I should be killed. Just then a horse and gig came tearing into tbe yard, and Dr. Pepsin jumped out. " What does all this mean " he asked. " Why that dog of the Judge's has gone mad. We've cornered him here, and are going to shoot him. He hasn't hurt any one yet." " No, nor ever will. He's not half as mad as you are. Clear out tbe lot of you 1' Bat they muttered and hung around, while the Doctor came and stood over me. " Poor fellow, what baa happened to you " ^I opened my eyes and looked at him grate- fully it was all 1 had strength to do. Then he stood up and told the people to go home. " The noble fellow is sick, but I'll answer for it he is not dangerous. He is my patient now. Harriet? Marjorie come here." As soon as they heard his voice they knew they were sate, and came out of the house. " Now I want to know what you've given this poor creature Quick." " Why, nothing, papa, only what we had for dinner." " Did you eat that concoction you had for desert and did you give it to him " " We tried, and I suppose â€" " " It was only pop-overs." " Well, it's nearly popped him over for good what between that man's gun and your generosity, if he doesn't die its lucky." Poor little mistress was down on the ground by that time, crying, over me and begging my pardon, but her grief weis cut short. " No time for nonsense now ' The Doc- tor put her away, and poured some nasty stuff down my throat, and for a vrhile I thought he had finished me, after all. It was horrible. Afterward I got better, atd I was so thankful to him 1 When I could drag myself a few steps he made a bed fqr ine in the carriage-hou«e, and told Marjorie I was to stay there till I was well. I was worth saving, which he couldn't say of all his patients. "And now," said he, when I had tried to act a little natural, and show the club I bore no ill will, "there is one thing you must remember." Hia voice was ste.-ii, ani not a bit like itself. " Don't you ever eat a thing manufactur- ed in this society until tome woman has seen and pronounced it good and don't â€" unless yon want to lose him â€" ever again treat your ' honorary ' member so diehonor- ably as to use him for a waste-barrel. It is a marvel to science that he bas gone through a winter's campaign with you and coir.e out alive but it was a narrow shave, so let there be no more of it." There never has been. Note by thb Doctor â€" Jim " gave out " on the first page of this MS., but for the benefit of other clubs I have completed his task. Books About America. Of the making of books about America in general and the United States in particular, the London Spectator saya, there is no end. " A narrative of travel in America is always read, no matter how many predecesrors it has bad the subject seems to have a fascin- ation as strong and laxting as that cf the history of Napoleon. The English reading world is always curious about the United Statesâ€" perhaps from some odd motive, like that which makes married people who have separated by mutual consent invariably in- quisitive about each other, re^tleaaly attract- ed by tbe idea of meeting somebody who has recently seen either party to the com- pact of dissociation perhaps simply from the queer mixture of similarity and contrast between ourselves and the citizens of the Great Republic, and tbe ease with which we realize all that is told us respecting people who speak our own language. Yokes and yoke effects are multiplying on young ladies' fall costumes, and take on all sorts of shapes â€" square, rounded, or cut in points that extend nearly to the waist in front and terminate at the middle of the back. Upon new dresses these yokes, which are invariably of a different fabric and col- otir from the rest of the svwn, are substitat- ed in many ca s e s for vests wad plastrons, a girdle of the same fabric as tlie yoke b^ig very freqaenily atlded, with the upper por- tion of the sleeve, like the gown and the onff or Medio! pnff below tiie elbow, made of the yokemateriid. A Karrow Escapei From Theodore Roosevelt's illustrated paper ou "Frontier Types," in the October Century, we quote the following description cf one of his trappers, a French Canadian "Once or twice he showed a curious reluct- ance about allowing a man to approach him suddenly from behind. Altogether his ac- tions were so odd that I felt some curiosity to learn his history. It tamed out that he had been through a rather uncanny experi- ence the winter before. He uid another man had gone into a remote basia, or inclosed valley, in the heart cf the mountains, where game was very plentiful indeed, it was so abundant tnat they decided to pass the winter there. Accordingly they put up a log-cabin, working hard, and merely killing enough meat for their immediate use. Just as it was finished winter set in with tremen- dous snow-storms- Going out to hunt, in the first lull, they found, to their consterna- tion, that every head cf game had felt the valley. Not an animal was to be found tbereinjthey had abandoned it for their winter haunts. The outlook for the two adventurers was appalling. They were afraid of trjicg to bre-ik out through the deep snow-drifts, and starvation stp.redthem in the face if they stayed. The man that I met had his dog with him. They put them- selves on very short commons, so as to use up their flour as slowly as possible, and hunted unwaariedly, but saw nothini' Soon a violent quarrel broke out between them. The other man, a fierce, sullen fellow, insist- ed that tbe dog should be killed, but the owner was exceedingly attached to it, and refused. For a couple of weeks they spoke no words to each other, though cooped in the little narrow pen of logs. Then one night the owner of the dog was wakened by the animal crying cut the other man had tried to kill it with his knife, but failed. The provisions were now almost exhausted, and the two men were glaring at each other with the rage of maddened, ravening hunger. Neither dared to sleep, for fear that the other would kill him. Then the one who owned the dog at last spoke, and proposed that, to give each a chance for his life, they should separate. He would take half of the handful of flour that was left and start off to try to get home the other should stay where he was and if he tried to follow the first, he was warned that he would be shot without mercy. A like fate was to be the portion of the wanderer if driven to return to the hut. The arrang« ment was agreed to and the two men separ- ated, neither daring to turn his back while they were within rifle-sbot of each other. For two days the one who went off toiled on with weary weakness through the snow- drifts. Lato on the second afternoon, a^ he looked back from a high ridge, he saw in the far distance a black speck against the snow, coming along on his trail. Hia com- panion was dogging his footsteps. Immed- iately he followed his own trail back a little and lay in ambush. At dusk his companion came stealthily up, rifle in hand, peering cautiously ahead, his drawn face showing the starved, eager ferocity of a wild beast, and the man he was hunting shot him down exactly as if he had been one. Leaving the body where it fell, the wander- er continued his journey, the dog staggering painfully behind bim. The next evening he baked his last cake and divided it with the dog. In the morning, with his belt drawn still tighter round his skeleton body, he once mora set out, with apparently only a few hours of dull misery between him and death. At noon he crossed the track of a huge timber- wolf instantly the dog gave tongue; and, rallying its strength, ran along the trail. The man struggled after. At last his strength gave out and he sat down to die but while sitting still, slowly stiff- ening with the cold, he heard tbe dog bay- ing in the woods. Shaking off his mortal numbnf 8s, he crawled towards the sound, and found the wolf over the body of a deer that he had jasD killed, and keeping the dog fron*. it. At the approach of the new asail- ant the wolf sullenly drew off, and man and dog tore the raw deer flesh with hid- eous eagerness. It mide them very sick for the next twenty f oar hours but. lying by the carcass for two or three days, they recovered strength." Tbf* Bachesa of £atlaad on Total Abstin- ence. " Phyaiciana assure us that a very large pro- portion of C8U)A8 of ill-health are caused by over-indulgence in strong drink. Sir Will- iam Gull, who, as we all remember, was in- strumental in saving the life ot the Prince of W^alea when hewas at death's door, writes â€" " In casea of feeble digeation alcohol ia sometimes given to stimulate digestion. I should not be prepared to go so far I should be prepared to advise the use of alcohol on certain occasions when a peraon waa ill, but to aay that peraona should drink habitual- ly â€" day by day â€" I ahould not be prepared to recommend. All alcohol, and all things of an alco belie nature, injure the nervous tiaauea pro tempore, if not altogether. You may quicken the operations, but you do not improve them. And, even in a moder- ate meaaure, they injare the nervous tiesuea and are deleterioua to health. Alcohol acts upon the brain, and causes the blood to flow more rapidly in the capillary vessels. I should like to say that a very large num- ber of people in society are dying day by day, poisoned by alcohol, bnt not supposed to be poisoned by it. If a patient came before me as a drunkard, and not as a sick man, I would say, get rid of the alcohol at once. In the case of an habituil drunkard, to whom drinking had become a second na- ture, I would, when he left it off, recom- mend nothing beyond good food. It would not at first supply the craving, but it would ultimately overcome it." Perhaps I ought to apologize for making so long a quotation, but testimoney from Sir Will- iam Gull is indeed valuable. He concludes with this sentence "I should say from my experience that alcohol ia the most destruct- ive agent that we are aware of in this coun- try." In another paper he says, "The public ought to know of all the diluents or solvents for the nutritious parts ot foods there is nothing like water, t^ater carries into the system the nutriment in its purest form." He was OoDscientioaB* Editorâ€"" You say you wish this poem ta appear in my paper anonymously 7" Would-be contributorâ€"" Yes I don't want any name to it." " Then:I;oan't pnblish it." "Why not!" " Beoanse I am oonadentiou abont this matter. 1 don't want u nnjut mtpioioo to Ikil upon warn* innocent penon." ' £emarkable Vines. Lovers of grape lore may be interested in a brief account of some ot the most remark- able vines which are now in existence in England, and producing tons of grapes of the finest quality annually Amongst these, varieties of the Black Hamburg, which may be considered as the national grape and the gardenei's friend, are the most nuoaerous. The vine at Hampton Court, although not the oldest, is perhaps the best known to the general public, and on that account ia worthy of the first place in this record. It was planted in 1769, and was raised from a catting taken from a large vine at Valentine Houae, Ejsex. Its girth is now 42 inches, and it fiUs a house 66 feet long and 30 feet wide. For tbe past hundred years it has been an object of great interest to grape- trrowera and the pnblis, who m%rvel at this fine spec men of extension training. It is still in excellent health, and produces from 1,2U0 to 1,800 small banches annually. In J 822 the girth of tLe stem was 13 inches, and the produce in one year amounted to 2,200 bunches of 1 lb. each. William Cob bett, in his description of it fifty years ago, says " There is a vine in tbe King's garden which has for halt a century produced an- nually nearly a ton of grapes." George III. must have been a good judge of their qual- ity, as he eojoved the fruit for fif^ years. The vine at Cumberland Lodge, which is now about seventy-five years old, ia much larger than the Hamburg at Hampton Court, it waa originally planted in a amall pit, which it aoon filled then a honae waa erected over it. and eclar?ed from time to time, until its present dimensions are 138 feet in length and 20 feet in width. The circumference of the stem is 3 feet 6 inches where it branches into two rods. Each of these again breaks into two stems, which extend the whole length of the house, and cover every part of the trellis with branches. These branches are pruned on the close spur syatem, the apace, 2 SCO feet cf trtliia for extension having long since been filled. Some seven years ago it waa my privilege to be present when the first box of grapes of the season was cut, to be forwarded to the Qaeen, then in Scotland* Many of the bunches, as well as the berries, were remark- ably fine, and appeared to be the counter- part of the produce of the vine at Eastnor but they were slightly deficient in colour. I have since learned that this produce ex- ceeded 1,200 lb. The houses in which these two veterans are grown are heated by flues, but the vines are allowed to come on with the increasing warmth of the season, conse- quently little fire- heat is used. A worthy descendant of the Hamburg at Cumberland Lodge, may be seen at Sillwood Park, near Ascot. It is upwari's of fifty years old, and and fills a house 120 feet in length, with a rafter of 12 feet. The vine, planted in the centre, ia abont three feet in circumference, and throws out eight lateral branches, which are trained horizontally the whole length of the house. These rod a furniah the bearing wood, which covera 1,500 feet of trellia, and producea about 1,800 bunches of grapes an- nually.

There is a saying abroad that only Amer- icans and princes ride " first class" on foreign railways. A few statistics show how large is the proportion «f the unprincely and non- Americans among English travellera The aacendency of the third-class passen- ger every year becomes more marked. Ac- cording to the statement of the chairman of the Great Northern Railway, in the June halt of 18S7 the perccntag^a of their paaaen- ger traffio, as to numbera, were as tollowa first class, 3;^ per cent. seaond claas, 5| per cent., au'l third claas, 91 per cent. whereas f r the half year under review tbe percentagea bad been, respectively, 3, 5^, and 91^ per cent. In 1887 the receipts from the first class were 14 per cent., and now they were 13 per cent. the second clbas gave them 7^ per cent, in 1887, and now only 7 per cent. and from the third class they derived 78|^ per cnnt, of their receipts in 1887, as against 70.^ pf-r cent, last half year. The average of tbe fares during the half year has been 38. 4d. in the first class, 11|1. in the second, and 81. in the third. This tendency is likely to increase. When railways carry all classes at the same speed, and the third-class carriage is clean and comfortable, the purchase of a first-class ticket is seldom any thing but wanton lux- ury. A Slight Mistake. The Dean of Durham (Dr. Lake) is very quick to seize an occasion. A large meet- inK of temperance reformers wa,8 held in Darham the other day. At the conclusion of Evenaong in the cathedral, the Dean,. seeing a larger congregation than usual, went to the lectern, and there in a hoepit- able apeech welcomed the visitors to hia cathedral. He commended their work and compared it favourably with th.*t of the Cruaadera of old. The evident amusement with which the D3an'a remarks was receiv- ed may perhaps be accounttid for by the fact that the temperance folk had taken their depsurture from Durham some hours before, and the Dean's hesirers consisted of a host of " cheap trippers," who had avail- ed themselves of the licensed victualler's excursion to the Darham flower show. A Considerate Husband- I' There ain't any blemishes about this animal " asked the would be purchaser of a cow.
