But there always is a peppermint or a penny in her pocket There never was a pocket that was half so big and deep And she lets the candle in my room burn to the very socket, While she stews and putters round about till I am sound asleep. And when I've been in swimming after father's said I shouldn't. And mother lis s her slipper off according to the rule It sounds as sweet ;i3 silver, the voice tTiat says, " I wouldn't The boy that won't go suviinming. such a day would be a fool " Sometimes there's something in her voice as if she gave a blessing.

Wash the tapioca and soak: for several hours in plenty of cold water. After draining off the water, add the tapio to the milk and set them on the range in a pudding dish. If there is the least doubt as to the freshness of the milk, stir in a piAch ot soda. Cover until the boiling point is reached. Now stir in two tablespoon fuls of the cocoanut, and, after drawing the dish to the edge of the range where the milk cannot Doil, add gradually the yolks of the eggs and sugar, which have been beaten together until light. Replace on the hottest part of the range, • stirring continuously untU the custard has thickened. Remove fi-om the fire and set aside several hours to cool, when salt and flavoring may be added, and the meringue spread, upon tlie top. Jellied Pine-Apple (With Whipped Cream. â€" One can of Sliced pine-apple, one lialf box of gelatine, one cupful (one-half pint) of cold water, one cupful of boil- ing water, one cupful of sugar, the grated rind and juice of one large or two small lemons. Cut the pine-apple into large dice and stew gently in its own juice until tender. Unless tlie pine-apple is very sweet add a little sugar â€" two or three tablespoon- fuls according to the acidity of the fruit. Soak the gelatine in the cold water until light and tender, tiien add boiling water, pugar and lemon. Stir until the ingrelients have become liquefied, then strain over the pine-apple and sot on ice to harden. The pine-apple should be cold before the jelly is pouretl upon it, and if the jelly is also allow- ed to cool before mixing with the fruit, it will hasten the setting process. Whip and sweeten one cupful of cream, and serve with the jellied pine-apple. The cream should not be flavored, ns the piiie-apple and lemon of the jelly is' sulEo4ei3,t flavorihg.- CfST.VKD FQE, SaucKâ€" rlieat t©. the. boilingp point one pint of sweet milk.

If 4ifliculty is found in removing the 8noW rom the mould, immerse for an instant in hot water. Place in a deep dish and pour jthe custard about the base. Qi'EEN Puffs (With Lemox Safce). â€" One pint of sweet milk, five scant tablespoonfuls J of flour, the yolks of five eggs and whites of I three, fou-r tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a pinch of salt. NVhip the whites very stiff and add to them the beaten yolks. Then, with an egg-beater mix in lightly the other ingredients in the following order: First the flour, then butter, milk and salt. Have ready nine earthen cups, generously butter- ed, and divide the mixture between them. Bake in a rather hot oven about 25 minutes. The puffs should have risen almost to the top ot the cups, and should be finely bro-v^ni- ed on top. After removing them to a deep dish, pour about them. Lemox Sauce. â€" One cupful of granulated sucfar, a large tablespoonful of butter, one egg, the grated rind and juice of one lemon, six tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Mix butter and sugar, add the b«iten egg, next the lemon and boiling water, beating brisk- ly for a moment; Set the bowl containing sauce in boiling water and cook lintil the consistency of honey. Neapolitan Pudding. â€" One pint of orange juice frequiring seven or eight medium-sized oranges), one-half box of gela- tine, the white of one egg, one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of cold water, one cupful of boiling water, a few drops of rose- colored fruit extract, and the grated rind and juice of one Targe lemon. Soak the gela- tine in the cold water, add the boiling water, the juice of oranges and lemon, and the sugar. Strain and divide into three equal parts, pouring one-third into a flat-bottomed dish and setting away to harden. To the second third, add a few drops of the color- ing extract and set this also in a cool place. Let the remaining portion get thoroughly cold, and as soon as it shows symptoms of .forming into jelly, add to it the beat^i white of egg, and whip until light and spongy. Poor this into a smaU. mould, which has be6adipf)ed: in cold water, and «et upon iee for mvkstal hoora. • Ronove from the mould, cut the colored jelly into small cubes, and heap aboat the base. i ened saw-dust and a few drops of lemon- juice.

If this is in- effectual try bees- wax and turpentine, rub- bed on and off with clean, soft cloths, sweet oil, and polishing with a chamois, is another remedy. Buying Potatoes. When the pnident housekeeper has made her choice, she is wjse if she orders her pot- atoes directly from the grower, thereby sav- ing from 20 to 25 cents per bushel. If jjos- sible, crates should be used to store them in these crates are made to hold a bushel, and they can be taken to the grocer, who will fill and return them some farmers furnish them, charging their price extra. Tbe advantage is, that the potatoes are not tum- bled about and bruised, and that they are convenient to handle, while an occasional change of the position of the crate in the cel- lar gives air on all sides and retards the growth of sprouts. In the construction of these crates, four posts one inch square form the foundation, and to them are nailed strips of lath 17 inches in length, forming an inter- ior. 1(5 inches square. :., Beds and Bed Coverings. Beda-tpughttobe neither too hard nortoo soft and. matressea and ,pi)lpws of hair are best. Soft beds "are enervating., ' Peroohs unused to' them- "are always uncomfortable when, forced to «cctipy.an unapcustomed couch.. They whps? rest is spoiled. .by a hard bed never make good travelers or en- dure hardships cheerfuUj' To the well- trained person a conch on spruce boughs in the North woods is' better than Sybarite luxury. And who would be slave to a mode of sleeping • Bed-coverings should le light, and suffi- ciently waim, but not too warni. The old- fashioned comforter, unless made of cheese- cloth, ought to be discarded in favor of woolen blankets, which, together with mat- tress, ought to bs frequently aired and sunned. Under-vests worn during the day should be changed at night and each set aired when unused. Pillows need not be large, as it is a mistake to raise the head high above the level of the body. ♦ Ta Tiberias. The descent upon Tiberias is as beautiful as (everything must be that is connected with that lovely lake. Our camp is pitched on its shores some hundreds of yards south of Tiberias itself. Of this little town, the only collection of houses which we ever saw on the lake â€" though I believe there is a village at Medjdel, the ancient Magdala â€" I can say little, for I was never inside it, but, especial- ly as seen from the water, it appeared to be one of most beautiful places we had yet come across. Perhaps it was the illusion of the lake which made us think so, for some camp- ing neighbors who visited the interior did not seem to be extraordinarily delightetL It is very dirty, I believe, and is inhabited chiefly by Jews indeed, it is, like Safed, one of their holy cities. Other sects gener- ally speak of it as the residence of the king of the fleas, who should certainly be a greai potentate in Palestine. V.'e did not seek audience of his majesty, having already made acquaintance with too many of his sub- jects, but, leavingTiberias, took boat for the upper end of the- lake. There is. a kind of glamour about, all the surrouiulinga here; I have so far kept up a stolid belief in ap- pearances, and had no doubts tha* I really saw .Terusalem or Bethlehem, or whatever the spot might be bat it seems niBch harder to realize the fact .that we are actkally row- ing across 'the Se^w of Galilee,, and it reqnires- all the discomfort-of. a. cramped position in. a not veiy roomy boat to prove to ts that we are not dreaming. • Our rowers are doiiig their utmost, fH:-tbe dreaded w'estv.wind is said to„lie coming, and against it we can make little w^ay. But, for the p-esent, no- thing can be -moi'-e delightful than the tranquil progress over ' the calm, solitary s^. Far away, toward the part where the Jordan flows into the lake,, we can catefc sight of one white sail, probably a fishirtg boat^: but there is no. sign of any living creature on sea or land as ^^-'e make for ' t'aC' northeim shore by the nrins of Tell Hoiiia^ It is strange to think that in the days of tne history which gives life and interest to all these scenes this northern coast was a centre of bustling life and commerce •with the four cities of Capernaum, Bethsaida, Gborazin,. and that other unknown one whose ruins are to be found at Tell Houm or Khan Minyeh â€" whichever is not the site of Capernaum â€" looking down upon waters covered with fishing and pleasure boats. YOUNG POLKS. There, wiii.fms» a ^ry .^egant ailf er tea- pot, beautifully ornamented, aiid of grace- ful shape and design it stood on a table near an open window beside it stood two common earthenware cups. Those who lived in the house went out tot i« hotel near by for their meals, so the teapot, '^lot being .neiecled tor. tpBr had. bean filled with'water for people to drink. This the teapJrt did not like. "It had much to say about being used for such a common- place thing as water. "I was not intended for the sort of work that the commonest tin pail can do," she said to the cups "I was made to hold choice teas from foreign lands it is disgraceful to treat me in this way. I'm not going to en- dure it." "As to that," would the cups reply, "we supposed you were made to do whatever your owner wished. " " No, I was not, " the teapot would snap- pishly answer " I was made to hold tea." I After much grumbling, sometimes to the cups and sometimes to herself, the silver teapot declared one morning that the end had now come she should certainly not stand there meekly and pour out water for anybody who happened to want a drink no, not for another hour. •^ I'm brimful of water," she said, "and I mean to stay so. Water is pleasant enough iu itself, if people wiU let it alope. I like the teeling of it better than tea. It is cool and refreshing I shall just keep it for my- self. The idea of my being carried to the spring every few hours as though I were a tin bucket or dipper It is simply ridicu- lous. I wonder that I have endured it so •long. Alter this you will .see that n; one. short oJE a king, or at least a prince, will get adriiik of water from me." " I:dp not. feel so at all,"?aid one of the cups. "I like to be used. There is nothing itliat gives me greater pleasure than to be. filled freshand have a chance to sparkle for Bj few moments before the water is swallow- ed." " I think it very likely." said the teapot, with a complacent smile. " The truth is, j'ou £U-e made of clay, and of course it is honor enough for such as you to serve every- body, even with water. But for me it is an- other matter not another drop will I give." The cups looked troubled. " But we get our supplies from you," one of them said timidly. ' 'How are we to furnish water if yoii do not fill us " "That is your own lookout," answered the teapot, flashing proudly in a .sunbeam which jnst then struck her. "Somebody will carry you to the spring, perhaps. I'll have nothing to do with it^I know that. " She was true to her resolves. Half an hour afterwards a pretty girl tripped out on the piazza and attempted to pour some water. She tipped the teapot iintil it almost lost its balance, but not a drop came. " How queer " she said. " Are you empty " and she lifted the lid and looked. " Wliy, no, you are full to the brim. Why don't you give me some water " She tried again, to no purpose. "Mean old thing " she said at last, and seizing one of the cups ran to -the spring, drank all she wished, then filled it again, and set it on the table. That is for the next thirsty one," she said, laughing. The "next" proverj to be some lovely bird's, who flew down frmn the trees nearthe window and dipped their bills into the full cup, then looked up to heaven, as though thanking God for water. "Even the miseraWe I)irj3 come chirping- around to be waited on by us," said the tea- pot sharply " they will get nothing from- me from this time forth." â-  'â-  " I enjoy it," said the cup brisklj' It was surprising how many people were thirsty thwt day. Men, woipen and chil- dren stopped at the table to be refreshed. Each of them trying the teapot in A-ain, ex- claimed over itf scoTded it a little.theii carried the cup to the spring and filled it. At night the teapot congratulated itself and snarled at its nefghbors " I've had one day of rest, at least, and haveift ib^n: ^him^Kd and .bruised at ' the spting, either. • I hswe eviery drop of water- left, and have felt cool and comfortable all .day." -^ • The crrps laughed gleeftrlTy.

A Delicate Experimentâ€" A Jfew Departure â€"Electricity Applied to Prliwte VeU* clesâ€" .1 Featnre of the Forthcoming Frankfort Exhibitionâ€" Ceneral Kotea. In the course of some very delicate electri- cal experiments which were being conduct- ed some time ago at Harvard University, the instruments were so disturbed that it was found impossible" to proceed with the work except during a few hours in the mid- dle of the night when everything was^ quiet. '^he disturbance came partly from railroad trains, which passed to and fro at a distance of about half a mile, and partly from the rapid beat of the feet'of the baseball phiyers iu an adjoining ground. A remedy was eventually adopted by the placing of a very heavy stone, separated by thick layers of rubber, on the top of the independent brick pier on which the experimental apparatus was placed. After that neither the rush of the express train nor the fiercest slide to second base had the slighest effect^ on the lators of the electrician. A striking instance of the important effect on an industry which the use of electricity may have is afforded .by the? new departure in the manufacture of cellulose paper. This paper is of particularly fine texture, but in cansequenca o. the ii^ cost of its manufacture the supply has been much restricted. Now, however, the shredded wood is put into leitd-lined boilers with a solution of common salt and electrolyzed for three and a half hours. The nascent chlorine: bleaches the wood "fibre' to'a snotir^ white silky substance, and the result'is the production of paper at a tithe of its former cost. English electricians seem determined to keep the lead t^ey have been lately taking in the application of electricity to private vehicles. N» sooner is the success of the electrical omnibus and thie electrical dog cart an assured fact, than -the report of an: electrically lighted brougham is published in the English papers' The brougham has' two dress lamps â€" one at each 8ide--ras usual,' and the electric current is connected with, these by means of the ordinary wires run be- neath the upholstery inside the vehicle. A battery fitted up with accuinulators suffi- cient f(Nr an eight-hours' run is fixed inside the box on which the coachman sits. In ad- dition to the outside lampe, there is an in- candescent lamp fixed in the i oof of the car- riage at the rear, and as this is covered by a colored globe the effect produced is unique. The lamps at each side give an excellent light for the coachman, and the one inside effectually iUuBAinates the interim- oi the brougham. The whole of the lights ^.-an be. worked by the coachman witlMMkt the least trouMe. make traveUing cooler, healthi, more pleasing to tl the old conditions r.r„i5'!^rAfi*^« ^y^ ^^^r!^Z'y^ under The ability of the electric system car propulsion to handle enori^f, °l"««t djm^trat^ in many placSSS* tionweek.

A dynamo mLhine lights the building, and a snjall elecfic la boratory equipped-ivith the necossarvi'nnru ments gives the boys whose ages raiice from 12 to 16, an opportunity of Ijecomimr cod- versant with the general applicatio'ns of electricity. An examination wiiicli has just been held by a well-known electrician sliowed that the boys were well grou2Mled in both the theory and practice of electi icity, one of the boys having desigiieil a complete" dynamo machine, and made his own diMwiugs and calculations throughout. „ Some remarkable results have been the outcome of recent experiments for overcom- ing the scale in boilers by the einplcyment of magnetism. Mr. Bull, of the Committee on Electrical Boiler Devices, stated at the Convention of the American Water Works Association that in a test on a boiler in a lime-bnming establishment the boiler was fed from a well at the edge of a limestOEe quarry. The water was clear to the eye and free from organic and visible impurities, but chemical tests showed it to be of unnsua! hardness. The result of the magnetic pro- cess was that in ten days a heaping shoYel- ful of sand or disintegrated scale was taken out of the boiler, and in a few more weeks not less than three shovelfuls of the same were removed. It has never beem questlonedi that some men hav:e greatnesiS-tlirust upon tfaeis,, bat it seldom happ^s that a man is made rich iu spite of himself. Charles WilUiMBte,- Jr., whose name has beea so intimately eoosiect-. ed with that of Prof. Alexander G. Bell in the histbry of the telei^iDtie, may be said to have had tiws singnku: experienii*. Mr. Williams, back in the "forties," was a maker of electrical apparatus and supplies. Pi-of. Bell met him, andi togetlier they fol- lowed out a series of experiments iaii gxraeti- eal telephony, which led to their estaiJish- ing a private line, with somewhat crude New applications of the electric mot^r are being made daily. There is a flavor of the grotesque in the fact that it is now being used for massage. The enterprising practi- tioner is a doctor in Louisville, Ky., who foiuid that however s^isfactory the pound- ing and pummelling of the process might be to the patient, it was no joke to him. In a happy moment he l^ethcnght himself of the Briarean electric inotor, and now all he has to do is to hitch on his adjustment and to keep an eye on its aecnrate and never-tiring operations.

Ezecations iu Grraece. For six years Greece has been searching for an executioner. The office is looked on with peculiar abhorrence in that country, and the present difficulty is no new develop- ment. The last capital execution occurred in ISSl, also after a long wait for an in- dividual who wias willing to perform it. A man named Messenier, who had killed his wife, offered to serve the State as execution- er for a pardon, and he guillotined seven- teen murderers, the accumulation of five years' dearth of an executioner. There are now five murderers awaiting the penalty in Athens and eleven others in the rest of Greece. They all will before long suffer death at the hand^ '^f a pardoned assassin named Boukis, the .henian convicts being attended to firsts and then the executioner embarking on a man-of-war for a voyage along the coast, stopping here aaxd there for a journey into any interior town needing his services. So uncompromising is the na- tional detestation of an execiitioner that even on t^e man-of-war Boukis will be protected qm furtive assaults by tiie crew by being housed in an iron eage.
