- LYING LOVERS.
It was a lover loved a maid
Tli lit bud a iatber who
Was thought to be by all the world
Exceeding well-to-do.
"Oh. bo rav wife," the lover cried ;
','My1)r,(lc.niy queen, my own;"
"1 ou do not love me," flic replied,
"1 fear, for myeeli alone.
"My pa he is a wealthy man,
His only child am I;
And nil his itches shall be mine
Whenever he bliall die.
"Hut rlelic, the Apostle nays,
Unto thcmsclMH take wintrs: oh.
If pa were poflaWptild ou love. me?"
"I would,' 1:

"'-"i "J J'"K
"I am so glad I knew you would
I in your love am blest;
I'n failed laf t ni?ht," she sobbed and sank
Upon her lover's breast.
"That makes not a bit of difference,"
That gallant lover cried ;
"So I have you I care not who
May take all else beside."
That night when her lover took his leave,
At twenty minutes to one,
SnewhUpered softly in his car,
"Darling, I was in fun.
"True, pa has failed, but he his pile
Had duly malted by;
I only wihcd to try your truth
Darling, how glad am I.
For now I know you would love me well,
Even in poverty."
And as he went home the lover,
Who was by no means green,
He blithely hugged himself and sang,
"I know what failures mean."

THE HAYMOW.
Iong had the barn, with dusky yawn,
Its broad and raited loft displayed ;
Which, strewed like spots upon a fawn,
.Showed irecklingspccksof light and shade.
Through knot-holes, chinks, and clefts made
way
Eyelets and streaks like tangled straws;
Here, on a wasp's nest knobbed in clay,
There, on u spider's house of gauze.
One broad ray through the window f-liot,
Mottled with motes and richly toned;
Dashing upon one dusty spot.
Where the ilerce, yellow hornet droned.
Two diamond dots, a rat's keen eyes,
.Shone, in the shadow of a nook;
And like a bell the buzz of flies
Came lulling as a murium ing brook.
Hut now without a rumbling roll 1
Up jolts a hay-cart from the croft,
And toon from olf the tawny knoll
Loads, on bent pitchforks, reach the loft.
Old Dobbin, streaming o'er with hair.
Ticks the loo.-o hay, while nods his mate,
In little do.es, anu with stare
And stamp, the pert colt guards the gate.
The red farm gate, with reaching swing.
And sleek Tom purring on the post,
Opening the lane where hoof and wing
Make up the farmyard's living host.
In sweeps the hay, the hay-mow tills,
The hay-cart lessens, muscles ply
On till the sunshine scatcely drills
Rays through Jhe window's blinded eye.
And now the wasp's white knob is hid,
The hornet peeks In vain its chink.
And where the knot-holes showered amid
The loft, rich rain, not even a blink.
In the grav tangle strays the rat.
For mangled birds the scythe destroyed ;
And twilight wakes the head-down bat
That through the knot-hole skims the void.
A breathing silence, save the sound
Of insects trickling through the hay,
Swept up within the tawny mound
And searching for the vanished day.
Its winter wealth the full mow yields
Below to dozing plow-worn gray;
ltcd Crumple llnds the summer llelds
Renewed In wreaths of Juicy hay.

IX A LEATHER BAG.
"I will not wait another day," said
MRs Norfolk-Stanley a stout, middle
aged lady, with a rubicund countenance,
a juvenile straw hat perched on the
bridge of her nose, and many onyx
beads wound around her throat.
Bow-wow," responded her little dog
Bijou.
Nephew Dick, presumptive heir of the
lady, hud failed to meet her atTnrin, as
nieed, and she had been forced to wait
24 hour?, without result. She was
deeply incensed, as, became a British
spinster with a neat property in Derby
shire, and funds in Turkish and Indian
loans.
The bag was produced by the maid.
It was a largo bog of black leather.
Bijou eyed it apprehensively, yet with
resignation. The tiny terrier, with
eyes like shining beads, an inquisitive
nose, and black oody, with a patch of
soft velvet brown on breast and paws,
jumped into the outside pocket of this
traveling mansion, and submitted to
Tiaving the strap carefully adjusted over
his prison in such a manner as allowed
a breathing space. Bijou was smuggled
on board trains; the maid was not
trusted with the bsg in her third-elass
seat, and it was a point of economy with
his mistress not to pay for a dog's ticket
in her own first-class carriage. Miss
Norfolk-Stanley took the bag herself,
thus exciting the interest of keen
eyed birds of prey hovering about
iu scent of jewel-casea and bags
carried by the English lady
traveler. At frontiers the pet was pop
ped under his mistress's mantle, while
the maid took the bag to the custom
house officer for inspection ; then the
inmate was successfully restored. Bi
jou remained as silent as a mouse in the
pocket for' hours, and resisted the most
tempting inducements to bark at
startling noises. He knew full well that
when the enemy had deserted the field
his mistress would take him out of the
dismal captivity. Bijou's fur stood on
end, at the approach of a guard, by in
stinct. Miss Norfolk-Stanley and her maid
appeared on the platform of the Turin
depot "at 9 o'clock in the morning.
Nephew Dick would find the birds flown
whon he saw fit to grace the Pied
montese capital with his presence. Bi
jou wasinvislble to the most penetrat
ing eye, curled up in the bag.
"Give me a ladies' carriage, and
: ilone, if possible," said Miss Norfolk-
'Stanley to & smiling official, with aper
S suasive exchange of francs from palm
to 'palm. -The smilincr official bowed.
and 'soon the lady was installed in a va-
cant carriage.
"You shall come out, pet, if we are
left alone," she whispered, unfastening
the strap over the pocket of the bag as
it rested m h'er knee. Bijou thrust out
4m little -black head, reconnoitered
tJie premises, and discreetly withdrew
from sight again.
The Turin depot is one of the most
amusing fields of observation in Europe.
. How Charles Lamb, the gentle philoso
pher, fond of a London crowd, would
have enjoyed it! The British lion mo
nopolizes the field, as a rule, and pre
sents here his most eccentric national
aspect. He comes from Nice and Men
tone via Genoa, stiff in gait, with dyed
, whiskers and naugnty mien, followed
-by wife and troops of daughters. He
comes from India, via Brindisi, tall and
lean as a cane, in Oriental cap and
. belted tunic, like a very large school
boy, accompanied by a sickly aad quer
ulous helpmate, whose aspect suggests
loss of health and children on the bor
ders of the jangle. Everywhere is
clamor, confusion, panic of haste; pikt
of wraps, still odorous of long sea voy
ages, trip the unwary pedestrian. A
negress, with a blue silk cap on the
back of her head, and large ear-rings,
drops a pile of cushions, and pauses to
replace them in a scarlet roar, with cood
humored laughter. An anxious mother-
escorts ner darling boy, who is collapeM
over the shoulder of a panting facchkso,
and demands wildly her coupe, engaged
for Paris. An ambassador of Morocco,
in a crimson gown and white turban,
parses with dignified repose of manner,
surrounded by his suite, enveloped in
snowy burnouses, each wearing yellow
slippers. A group of young soldiers
lean on their muskets, and criticise the
throng; porters ekurry along, and
guards gesticulate; but the juick, Mock
ing Italian eye has ample leisure to scan
the laughing negress with her gorgeoas
wraps, the tall old gentlemen, the tod
dling old ladies round as balls, the am
bassador in his turban.
Miss Norfolk-Stanley gazed out on the
hurrying throng with that selfish com
placency peculiar to the traveler who
has already secured a good,, seat in a
Continental railway carriage. She had
an old-ftv-hioncd theory that,depxived of
the escort of Nephew Dick, a ladies'
carriage was the safest place for herself.
That she was alone in this opinion was
speedily revealed by the fact of every
other woman in the crowd bestowing
her person in the conveyances adjacent,
rather than submit to the awful possi
bility of a troop of children for hours.
Bijou's mistress was an old traveler;
experience had made her timid and sus
picious. She read all the robberies in
English and foreign newspapers, and
looked dubiously at mankind of the
tourist species. Who wore these men ?
Why did they observe her? A ladies'
carriage for her, if you please, and not
one where each man in the corner may
prove an assassin and a thief if a favor
able opportunity offers. She had learn
ed the words "Help!" and "Thieves!"
in six languages, for emergencies.
Two ladies paused at the door of the
carriage. The smiling official, in re
membrance of Miss Norfolk-Stanley's
bribe, resisted their efforts to enter,
and led them elsewhere. They were
both women of medium height, in long
water-proof cloaks, their heads envelop
ed in blue veils, which concealed their
faces. Miss Norfolk-Stanley saw a long
yellow hand, with thin fingers peculiar
ly talon-like, stretched forth to turn the
handle of her carriage door. The hand
belonged to the first woman, and she ex
perienced a strange sense of relief when
it was again withdrawn, and the owner
passed on. Why? Because Bijou could
caper about at liberty if she retained the
carriage alone. She assured herself this
was the sole reason for dreading the
yellow hand and the shiver which crept
over her at sight of it.
This danger surmounted, there re
mained one more to be overcome before
Bijou and his mistress could breathe
freely. The surly fpard jumped on the
step, demanding tickets. The surly
guard gave and received no quarter.
His expression of countenance was sat
urnine, his gray mustache curled up
ward in a truly savage manner, and his
cap was pressed down over a deeply
wrinkled forehead. He was always in
a hurry, and his life was rendered bur
densome by the questions of nervous
travelers. He eyed Miss Norfolk-Stanley
sharply sole occupant of the la
dies' carriage, sitting with a leather bag
carefully held upright on her knee.
"You have no dog?" demanded the
surly guard, peering about on the floor
suspiciously.
" Certainly not," said Miss Norfolk
Stanley, blushing at the fib which she
uttered in alarm for her pet.
Then the surly guard banged the
door, departed, and the train actually
started at last. Bijou skipped out of
his prison, executed a wild but barkless
dance over the seats, stood on his hind
legs with great apparent enjoyment,
ate a biscuit, and was refreshed with
water from the cup of his own tiny
traveling flask.
The train wended its way toward the
Alps ; -one by one snow peaks detached
themselves from the mountain rampart
dividing France and Italy, and stood
out boldly against the blue sky; the at
mosphere grew keen. Down in the
valleys weather-beaten little hamlets
were huddled together in a cluster of
steep roofs; the river foamed in silvery
ripples; the peasants worked in the
blooming fields. Within the railway
carriage Miss Norfolk-Stanley indulged
in her own meditations, and Bijou ca
pered about at pleasure. The lady
made her plans, with slightly com
pressed lips. She would go to Paris,
and thence direct to London. Nephew
Dick might well look to himself!
The train paused. Hi, Bijou! Miss
Norfolk-Stanley had scarcely time to
restore her pet to the bag pocket when
the opposite door flew open, and the
surly guard thrust in his head. Her
heart failed her. If the surly guard
had seen Bijou, he had the right to car
ry the dog off in triumph to the baggage
van, and impose on herself the igno
miny of a fine. Instead, he explained
that two ladies must be admitted, as the
cigar smoke of their carriage made them
ill. Again that long yellow hand groped
upward for the door handle, .and the
two women in cloaks invaded Miss Norfolk-Stanley's
territory. She resigned
herself, with a sigh, to the inevitable.
After all, these ladies were only a trifle
peculiar and foreign-looking, mere
harmless fellow-creatures, and Bijou
had already enjoyed two hours of free
dom. Miss Norfolk-Stanley's irst im
pulse was to throw herself on their mer
cy to the extent of releasing her dog.
In travel she had never yet encountered
another woman who did not assist in
smuggling Bijou with the delight in
contraband warfare of any kind peculiar
to the sex. A second glance at those
veiled and muffled figures deterred her.
The strangers, with a murmured apolo
gy in French for the intrusion, sank
into weir places at me omer extremity
of the carriage, and remained as silent
as statues. They carried no bags or
parcels of any kind. The yellow hand
produced a smelling-bottle of cut steel,
and a pungent odor diffused itself grad
ually, as the. windows were closed to
exclude the smoke.
Now the tunnels were gained which
form the threshold of Mont Cenis on
the Italian side, and which are im
measurably more black and oppressive.
A rush of steam, a shriek of the loco
motive, and the train was ingulfed in
the first of the three long tunnels. The
gas burned in a tiny star in the roof of
the carriage. Horrible darkness and
dense smoke, like am opaque wall
against the window-sash! Bijou's mis
tress unfastened her collar and sought
her fan. At the other end of the car
riage the yellow hand was deftly open
ing the owner's cloak, while a pair of
glittering eyes were turned upon the
unconscious Miss Norfolk-Stanley from
the folds of the veil. The smelling-bottle
of cut steel had vanished.
A rush of steam, a shriek of the loco
motive, and the train plunged into the
seooad tmel. Behold the companion
of the traveler wit yellow hands quiet
ly unfastening her cloak, and producing
her smelling-DOttle, this one a slender
vial of colorlNf glaai, which she re
tained bttweeB her fingers instead of
usiaf.
A rasa of a, a shriek of the lo
oasotive, aad tfce train passes into the
thin! tuntl. Sileaee reigned in the la
diet' carrisge.
After this tbtre was a paufc, and
Miss Norfolk-Stanley opened her win
dow roiabale the jmhw mountain air.
while eack link of tie train was tested
before the, trial of the great tunnel.
Then Mont Cenia opeaed that great
mouth, and receive the human freight,
the feeble atoms of an hour, into its
rocky heart. Thirty minutes! Miss
Norfolk-Stanley opeaed her watch.
If oca mmj happen in thirty minutes
She had tamed to the window, which
bad been again closed, when her head
was seized, a nervous hand was pressed
over her mouth, she was forced to in
hale chloroform, and a heavy cloak en
veloped her, effectually stifling the faint
crv, scarcely more than a sigh, which
escaped her. The victim speedily lost
consciousness, and the leather bag roll
ed from her lap to the floor.
Bijou fell on his head. Astonished
at such treatment, he crept out of his
pocket of which the strap had not been
refastened when the surly guard brought
the other occupants of the carriage so
unexpectedly and hid beneath the folds
of bis mistress's dresi. Mark the wis
dom of this little dog, and explain it by
any law, snort of reason, actual pres
ence of mind, if you can. He was
afraid, and concealed himself, trembling
in every limb. He knew something
dreadful had happened.
The two Women, divested of their
cloaks, stood over Miss Norfolk-Stanley.
Much can be done in thirty min
ute of outer darkness, lost in the heart
of Mont Cenis.
" Do not kill her. Discovery would
be awkward," whispered the elder, a
keen, yellow face appearing out of the
veil which had previously concealed it.
Her accomplice removed the bottle
from the nostrils of Miss Norfolk-Stanley,
and lifted the cloak from her face.
The latter did not move. Then the yel
low claws took the watch and chain,
rings, probed every pocket, nimbly sift
ed the contents of the rack above for
valuables, and raised the leather bag,
Bijou house, in hopes of its containing
a jewel box.
" Now open the other window. The
carriage must not smell of chloroform
when we reach Modane. I will give her
another dose before throwing away the
bottle."
" It was such a rare chance ! Only if
we should be detected at the frontier!"
murmured the younger woman.
" Attend, ma chere ; I have planned
all," retorted the elder, with an evil
smile. " She will recover, bo stupid
when we arrive at the French custom
house, and wait for her maid. Roll
together the cloaks and veils in this
canvas cover; our dresses and hats have
not been seen on the train. "When we
descend, I join Adolphe, and lean on his
arm ; you go with the boys, and speak
German. We no longer know each
other. You take the Geneva route, and
I journey to Macon. There is plenty of
time. Here, put back her purse, con
taining a little silver."
Daylight at last! Bijou thrust out his
nose from the edge of his mistress's robe.
The light re-a?sured him. Such a vol
ley of sharp, piercing barks became
audible in the ladies' carriage as could
only emanate from the throat of an irate
terrier. The two women were confused.
At first they supposed the dog was
barking in an adjacent carriage. How
could a living creature of any sort be
concealed in their own, when every ar
ticle of Miss Norfolk-Stanley's had been
searched? Bijou barked with frantic
zeal, and sprang toward the open win
dow, redoubling his clamor. Then the
older woman saw him, darted forward,
and seized him. The terrible yellow
hand closed about Bijou's neck; she
lifted and prepared to fling him out of
the window. Bijou's silky little body
landed on the ledge of the sash just as
the surly guard appeared, who was
walking along the outer railing or plat
form, in response to that shrill volley of
barks. What! a dog in the ladies' car
riage, after all? Aha! one must see
about it! The surly guard caught Bijou
in his hands; heads appeared at neigh
boring windows. The poor little beast
whimpered, licked the guard's face in a
propitiatory manner, and looked at him
with the most agonized canine intelli
gence. A dog iu the ladies' carriage! More
over, flung out the window by a venge
ful hand ! One glance from his point of
vantange on the step revealed the truth
to the surly guard. Miss Norfolk-Stanley
reposed in her corner in rigid insen
sibility, the cloak still about her; bags
and cases were scattered on the floor; a
faint scent of chloroform lingered. A
very well arranged plan, hinging on the
train's not pausing again until Modane
was reached, when all traces of disorder
would have been removed, but for frus
tration by a vigilant little dog, so tiny
as to be stowed away in the pocket of a
leather bag.
A group of those highly ornamental
gens d'armes in cocked hats and bril
liant uniforms who pose so gracefully
at French and Italian railway stations
were given employment in arresting
the thieves. Miss Norfolk-Stanley came
to a condition of confused conscious
ness, and was removed to a hotel under
guidance of her frightened maid. The
surly guard actually kept Bijou in his
arms, and caressed the little dog instead
of demanding his ticket.
Next evening Nephew Dick appeared
at Modane in response to the maid's
telegram sent back to Turin. He had
been delayed by reason of a robbery, in
which he had lost both watch and pocket
book, on a night journey between Rome
and Florence. He was disposed to sus
pect two gentlemen who had staid in the
same hotel at Rome.
In the years 1877 and 1878 a band of
thieves waged war on the Continent,
their connection extending from Stock
holm to Naples. They appeared as la
dies and gentlemen at leading hotels,
and 'pursued everywhere the higher
branches of the profession. Doubtless
Miss Norfolk-Stanley and Nephew Dick
were both their victims. The latter was
speedily re-instated in his aunt's favor
by his ability displayed daring the trial
and conviction of the miserable women.
Bijou has gone into honorable retire
ment in the country. His prejudices
are respected. f he sees a r.ulway and
a moving train, he howls and runs away,
in remembrance of the awful day when
a cruel yellow hand seized and hurled
him from the window as the ladies'
carriage emerged from the Mount Cenis
Tunnel.

Galloons brocaded with roses aad

trimmings.
Ecru aad plum color are favorite
combinations for both street aad even
ing costume.
The latest gold bracelet are very
narrow and have a locket attached as a
pendant.
Cascades of narrow ribbon as well
as cascades of Breton lace are very fash
ionable on underclothing.
Gauze scarfs trimmed with velvet
are among the light wrappings an
nounced for the summer.
Grenadine dresses are particularly
pretty made with paniers; it drapes in
such soft folds that in this goods they
can be made graceful and becoming
even to a stout figure.
The lace mitts in all colors, and the
Lisle thread gloves in mode shades of
gray, stone and drap, take the place of
kids for summer wear.
The new Pinafore costumes have
little neckerchiefs of Swiss muslin, cov
ered with Breton lace dotted about here,
there, and evetywhere, that a bow can
be placed.
Black velvet bands are again worn
at the throat and on the arm, and are
very pretty with dresses cut low at the
neck and with the short elbow loeves.
Suits of white bunting are trimmed
with bright plaid and twist of cardinal
and gold-colored ribbon. Muslin
sbirrings, divided by insertions of Swiss
embroidery, are used for deep collars
on theso and other summer costumes.
Changeable ribbons are the novelty
in millinery. These are shown in blue
with gold, green with cream-color and
pink with blue. The bows worn with
organdies or foulards should contain all
the tints found in the flowers of the ma
terial. Many of the short woolen suits for
the street, have the whole skirt com
posed of kilt plaitings ; the overskirt is
of the shawl Bhapn and looped so as to
show the underskirt. These are becom
ing to but few, besides being excessive
ly warm.
Walking jackets for the street are
made of what are called Indian fabrics,
that is, goods of the mastic and cinna
mon shades, embroidered by hand in a
palm pattern. Some of the close fitting
jackets terminate in a long swallow taiL
Every one, in these days of cheap
cambrics, should try to possess at least
a single dress, for indoor wear, of fou
laru finished cambric in pretty colors,
and softened by ruffles ox inexpensive
lace at the throat and wrists.
A fact which many ladies are not
aware of is that the striped moire so
much used in combination with other
handsome materials, is very perishable.
The moire stripe is pressed in with a hot
cylinder, which makes the threads very
brittle.so that the slightest strain breaks
them.
Sashes are fashionable again, and
wide ribbons are in demand. Brocaded
and watered ribbons matching the dress,
and others striped in Roman, Scotch
and Pompadour colors are used. Belts
are fastened around the waist and hang
down in one long flat loop and two
longer ends.
Hats are of various and handsome
shapes. Some are low crowned and have
broad or eccentric brims. Those of
rough straw braid, in mixed colors, are
in great favor. The trimming usually
corresponds in color with the most
striking color in the braid, with the ad
dition of an an ostrich tip or a bird's
wing.
Parasols are gayly conspicuous,
and it is necessary that they harmonize
with the costume or they appear too
gay. Many of them are embroidered,
gold thread being freely used. Shaded
parasols, shaded from pale pink to dark
rcse, old gold in its various tints, f awn
shading to brown, and the gamut in
blue are shown:
Lamps are in fashion and also are
candles revived. Pretty shades for ar
gand lamps are made of the Japanese
paper parasols. Break all the thin
wooden ribs off, extract the handle and
cut the top to fit the lamp shade of por
celain, and you will have a lovely,
bright-colored shade which softens the
light only 'comfortably. These can be
bought at almost any fancy store for
five or ten cents.
Tatting is again coming into fash
ionable use. It is used for parasol cov
ars, collars, cuffs and ends of muslin
neckties. It revives an almost forgot
ten industry, and once more will be
seen the flying shuttles in the busy
hands of women. One of the most
prominent young men of this State
.(Michigan) ones supported himself and
his mother's family by making yards
and yards of this fairy-like work while
confined to his bed by an accident.
Prettiest among buntings is the
cashmere finished goods, soft and light,
much like India cashmere, only lighter.
These are made up in combination with
silk, and form effective and comfortable
3ummer suits. A blue bunting is trim
med with striped blue and white Fou
lard, and a cream colored one with red
and white Pekin the trimming put on
in straight bands. Foulards are very
popular. They come in polka dots, in
stripes and in dainty Pompadour designs
as well as in the rismtnses and twills
with which one usually associates them;
in light colors they are liked for evening
dresses.
A Poor-hoase Philosopher.
Not long since a party of visitors in
spected the poor-house. Among the in
mates was a venerable-looking old man,
whose face indicated perfect happiness.
He seemed to be perfectly contented.
Said one of the visitors : Yoa seem to
be satisfied with your lot." " I am" he
replied ; " I have a source of consolation
denied to most men." "Ah," said the
visitor, " you look forward to a blissful
future beyond the grave." "Yes," re
sponded the old man, " but I also find
muchomfort in the proverb that says
one man's loss is another man's gain.
It makes me happy to think I never lost
enough to do the feller that found it
much good." Boston Courier.

Add 1 teacup of sugar to 6 quarts of
the liquor, and boil until thick enough,
which can bo tested by dipping out a
little and cooling it. Snow apples make
a beautiful, wine colored jelly cf very
fine flavor. The flavor and appearance
of apple jelly is very much improved
by inserting a slico of un peeled lemon
vertically in the center of the glass, be
fore the "jelly is quite cool.
A good broth or stock maybe made
with beef, fresh and lean, in the propor
tion of 1 pound of meat and bones (the
bones and meat of about equal weight)
to li pints of cold, clear water. This
thould be heated only moderately the
first half hour so that the juices of the
meat will bo extracted beforo the sur
face becomes coagulated by boiling;
then it should simmer slowly and stead
ily, partly covered, for 4 or o hours;
skim the stock occasionally; season
sparingly with pepper and salt, waiting
until the soup is made for the final sea
soning. With stock on hand it is a sim
ple riiattcr a little while before dinner
each day to add boiled macaroni, vege
tables, eic, to vary the soup.
A lady writes to an exchange: Mo3t
housekeepers have had tbeir seuls har
rowed up by the provoking tendency of
pie-plant juice to wander in little tac
charino rivulets all over the bottom of
theoven, instead of remaining quietly
in the humble sphere to which the eter
nal fitness of things nssigned it. By
experiment I have found out a method
which obviates this difficulty, thus ef
fecting a great saving in sugar and tem
per. My invention, for which I exact
no royalty, is as follows: Put the usual
quantity of sugar for each pie in a bowl,
then add cold water enough to form a
liquid mass, also a heaping tablespoon
ful of flour, stirring it well in; pour this
over the pie-plant, add tho top crust,
and place in a hot oven. The above
answers for other kinds cf fruit-pics al
so. I find that rhubarb loses a good
deal of its acrid flavor by placing it
over the fire in a dish of cold water,
adding a pinch of soda as soon as it
reaches the boiling point. Let it stand
a few moments, then drain off tho wa
ter. Tfce Caacer Heapical.
On Saturday Inst, at tie hospital. Dr. Pono",
assisted by Dr. E. 11. Gale, performed a crlt
'ical operation upon Mrs. J. Cockrcll, of St.
Louis removinir a caucer of enormous Rrowth
from the right arm-pit. Hnr right bretst wai
removed a year ago by St. Louis Burgeons,
but the cancer continued to spread around
beneath the arm and assumed uch propor
tions that ai a lat hope she placed herself un
der the treatment of Dr. Pond. The opera
tion was mot skillf ullj p:rformcd, the un
fortunate lady bcarlne up remarkably well
through the dangerous ordeal, aud we wens
glad to obstrvo that the doctor seemed to en
tertain hope of her iecovcry.
The day previous to our visit, two bloodle&s
operations were performed by means of elec
tricity, with the most satisfactory results. A
very daneerous cancer was removed from the
left breast of 3Irs. Bailey, wife of the Rev.
Hlrara Bailey, of Buchanan. Iowa also, an
immense cancer from the left breast of Mrs.
R. W. McKinney, of Bushnull. On Saturday
alternoon we found the last named ladr mov
ing about her room in very coouorwuic wu
dltion, and frem her lively manner and pleae
anUmile it was difficult to realize thatsbe had
to recently undergone an operation of this char
acter. Strons; hopes are entertained that both
these ladlea will fully recover.
Electricity Is used wherever It caa be dvan
Ugeooaly employed, but of course Dr. Pond
baa many surgical operations In which bis
powerful battery cannot be t-rought into play
l ha. mml.n.lcrr rvrrw S tTB& of tbe&e
operations are of the moat rritlcat and dan
gerous character Imaginable, requiring great
skill and experience, a keen eye, quickness of
execution and unflinching nerve in all of
waicb qualifications Dr. E. H. Gale, of this
city, to long connected with the hospital, J
peculiarly gifted, and so satisfactory and suc
cessful have h' operation proTen that Dr.
Poad bo longer calls to hi aid more notable
surgeons from abroad.
Among other patients at the hospital .Is
Daniel fluff, ot Foantaia CHt, Indiana,
brother-lD-lawofW.P. Xlxoe, of the Bter
Octan. Mr. Hofl is afflicted with cancer In
the lower lip, but Is doteg well and will be en
ttrelv cured.
Dr. D. W. Drnff, of CamiB. HL, Is here
with his aged mother, who Is btiag treated for
very severe cancer of the breast, and the
veseraWe lady bears her sufferings with re
urkable fortitude bow that a hope of re
eoverv nuv be indulged is.
The house Is compktely filled with patknts,
