Her house, standing well back from the street and surrounded by magnificent elms, was oue of the oldest and most aristocratic in the village. It was a delightfnl place to visit, and particularly for a child of dreamy and imginative temperament, its attractions were endless. The garden, with it* box-edged walks and old-fashioned flowerbeds, and the house, where everything dated past one generation after another, had h equal charms for me. Aunt Augusta lived entirely in the past; the friends she had lost long years before lived for her still. I used to think she too< more comfort with them than many people do with their living ones. Her walls were hung with portraits and some really fine paintings. Among them was one of which I was particularly fond, called "The Cavalier's Escape." A handsome young man in slashed j doublet and long purple hose was creeping up the stone steps, from a gloomy dungeon, past his sleeping jailer. His boots with their long shining spurs he carried under his arm. and a beautiful maiden waited for him at the top of the shadowy stairs, with the great castle key in P one slender hand, while the other was lifted warningly, her frightened eyes fixed on the jailer's unconscious face. I speak of the cavalier as young and handsome, though, truth to tell, only the back of his head, with his | long auburn lovelocks, was visible in Bp*., the picture; but notwithstanding this ' fact, I have never been able to get : over the idea that once I saw his face. But I'll tell you how it happened. I was paying my usual summer visit jo to my aunt, and spending my time gO very satisfactorily to myself in reading ggsv and dreaming. I was 13 years old, and considered by my friends to pos* Spy sess more imagination than was altogether good for me. Bat on the particular day of which I am telliug you my meditations were U.. - interrupted by oue of the neighbors,* who came in to beg my Aunt Augusta to allow her to examine my great? grandmother's wedding dress. Her daughter was going to take part in some tableaux and wanted an inspiration for her costume. The wonderful gowns my aunt kept pi hidden away in the dark recesses of the 4Spare room" wardrobe I looked upon with delight and awe, on the rare occasions when she would allow me a peep at these treasures. But I was Rf never permitted to touch auy of them, jg. though it was the desire of my life to r*v see myself arrayed in my great-grandmother's wedding dress. After Mrs. HEr^vWoodfern had gazed and admired to mv .nnt folded the 1|' ' beautiful satin and lace, locked them away again out of sight, and gave me the keys to put back in her desk, % while she accompanied her guest j|| downstairs. I was obediently on my way to her ;,V , room, when something Mrs. Woodfern was saying canght my ear. KfT : 'Three houses have been entered already, Miss Wilberforce. Do you Op think it is safe for you here, with no ? , man to call in for protection? Yon have so many valuable things to ato tact a burglar." 41amnof nervous," Aunt Augusta jpr1 answered as they passed ont of sight but I felt I mnst hear the aocount Mrs. Woodfern was giving of the burt;; . glar's desperate deeds, sol dropped the keys in my pocket and hurried down, meaning to come Up at once and take care of them after Mrs. Woodg fern was gone. There was a fall moon that night. It streamed into all the windows and lighted up the rooms with its splendor. Aunt Augusta weht to bed early with ^ a headache, and I wandered abont the house by myself, indulging in fancies r of the wildest nature. The portraits looked at me solemnly from the walls, and I thought of Hans Anderseu'.s stories, and wished they would come down and talk to iv' me. How delightful it would be to seo all the stately ladies and gentlemen walking about in the moonlight! V' But perhaps they they were only wait ?; ing for me to be out Of the way. - I was standing before my greatgrandmother's portrait, when I rem|T , embered the keys in my pocket?I k conld try that wedding dress on then and no one be the wiser! I would not hurt it; there was no reason why any t"- ' one shonld mind. Bp - Noiselessly, I crept npstairs to the g? the big front room, that also was *-' fVi mrv/vnliorVif T Tior) fftrorrtt. (uwugu * ??? --- 0-ten the blinds with the keys. Closing the door softly behind me, I crossed the floor on tiptoe and unlocked the greaf wardrobe's doors, holding my breath at my own daring, bat in a few minutes there I stood, in the shining satin, with the beautiful old lace veil falling like a mist around me. It really was wonderful how it all fitted me, even the little satin shoes, with the great paste buckles, that shone like diamonds of the purest water. I walked into the moonlight and looked down at myself. Oh, what ? pity no one could see! Even I could only get half a glimpse at the glories cf my costume. If only I dared go downstairs, the long mirror between the windows in the parlor would be what I wanted! Ko sooner said than done. A spirit of adventure was alive in m.i heart, and with my train over my arir I passed quietly down. There was no one to hear. Aunt Augusta slept soundly, aud the only servant was ir her room at the back of the house. Tranquil and serene, I stood and con fp templat^d my charms; then, with ? little sigh of singled satisfaction anc regret, I prepared to return whence ] f came, since not even the picture! I; would not come down and bear m( company. With the thought of the picture! ? still in my head I stepped out into th< hall, and stopped ?for there was i man going softly upstairs. The ligh was dim, and he was wrapped in i ?< dark clcak, but I saw he was carrying 0. - his boots under his arm, and in ai instant I remembered the cav&li r. I was not as much frightened as you would Cave supposed. I never once though*, of the burglar Mrs. Woodfern ha?! been talking about. It seemed only aaturnl, aud a matter of course, that soinethiug unusual should happen. The rustle of my train, as I let it fall, attracted the cavalier's attention. He turned aud saw me there iu a narrow strip of moonlight that fell through the hall window, and in an instant he was comiug down again toward me. I retired before him farther and farther till I was back ngaiu iu the rnooni lighted parlor. But still he came on. I | couid soe him quite plainly then?such % " A t ..1 * 1 1 a liauasome young man, inougu wuu , i ar.l daring! It seemed as if I bad always known bis face must be like j tbat ?only bis auburn love-locks were gon?. i 4'I was told this bouse was i bnuuted," be said, under bis breatb, 1 looking at me witb bis dark eyes. I bad a vague impression in my mind that it would be a good tbing if I were safely back a^ain in my own | room witb tlie door 1 eked; but since I was downstairs I migbtas well make ; the best of it. Tei baps it was only a : dream, after ad, so I looked at tbe j cavalier steadily. "Are vou alone?" I asked. "Whero \ are tbe others?" I spoke softly bej cause I did not wish to wake Aunt j Angnsta. He did not auswer, but came a step j nearer, amazement in his face, j "I suppose tbe jailer is still as!eep," i I said casually. The < avalier gave a tremendous start and looked over bis shonlde". 44Jf you were trying to escape," I said, 4'there was no use in going upstairs." The cavalier came nearer still and caught me by'my wrist,but be did not look any less puzzled. "Flesh and Mood," I beard bim mutter, and certainly there was noth! iug unsubstautial about bis grasp, j But suddenly bis brow grew dark. I "What do you mean?" he whispered, I fiercely. 44Is this a trap to catch me?" "Xp," I answered. I began to get frightened, and spoke hurriedly. 4'Escape, if you waut to?quick, before be wakes up." "Whore is he, upstairs?" frowning still, but I can Id tell by the way he looked toward the window that he meaut to go. "No; he is in there"?pointing to the room across the hall. "But I won't wake him up; only let go my arm. You hurt me!" "Do you give me your solemn word of honor that you will not scream or make any sound or attempt to leave this room for half an hour?" demanded my captor. I promised readily enough, and he motioned me to sit down in Aunt Augusta's big chair, and then, without a sound, he opened the window. I thought he was gone, but no.be had stopped, and was looking back at me as I sat there in the moonlight, gravely ( watching him, and then he came back and stood beside me. "I don't kuow who or what yon are," he said; "cnt yon are the strangest girl I ever saw?and the prettiest. Did I hurt her poor little wrist?" And then I suppose he remembered the gallantry of the days to which he belonged, for he bent his dark head down low and kissed my arm as it rested on the chair beside him. Then he vanished like a shadow and closed the window softly behind him. I sat motionless in the big chair and waited. The moonlight slipped down from ray bridal veil and across my satin lap down to my shining shoe-buckles, and at last was gone altogether; but still the jailer did not wake np, and all the other pictures stayed quietly in their frames, and I leaned my head back in Annt Augusta's great chair and went fast asleep while I waited. The clock was striking two when I awoke, and then I was frightened. My mind was full of vague, half remembered terrors. I was afraid of mvself, in my ghostly dress, and flew ? it /\.1 T ltarl i/v /?r\f upttiail 9 MS IX ^uuiucvi. uau IV a candle from my room to see to put away my finery?the great spare room had grown so dark?and there were queer noises in the wardrobe, and in every corner. I remembered then about the burglar, and shook from head to foot with fear. It did seem as if I never should get those things put away. Bat it was done at last, and oh, the joy when I was safely back in my room with my door locked fast behind me! There is the story, yon can call it what you pleaso?a ghost story, or a burglar story, or a dream. There was nothing next morning to prove which it was. I went down as soon as I was dressed to look at the pic ure in the 8ittiugroom,but the cavalier was there still, noiselessly cliwbiug the weary stairs past tbe sleeping jailer. I couldn't help being sorry for him, that he hadn't escaped, after all. I put ta*k my aunt's keys directly after breakfast. I didn't care about keeping them any longer, and to this day I tin not altogether sure whether I ever tried on my great-grandmother's wedding dress or not Philadelphia Children.

JEE GAM. Cusy Life of a Chinaman Minister In Sar Francisco. Rev. Jee Cam is quite a power ir. San Francisco. lie has been a mis sionary there for the American Mis sionary Society for twenty-nine yean and has been engaged in most important work in connection with his charge. Aside from those labors, lie is official court interpreter in the San Francisco courts, and ia in all a very busy man at home. Rev. Gam looolis lit-a one nno nf thp m.mv Chinamen one high meet in a day's walk. lie wears broad, coarse shoes, the same wide-cut black trousers and blue blous that marks his nationality, showing that even if he is a Christian and a reverend there is nothing of the freak about this distinguished Chinaman. There is scarcely a trace of dialect in his conversation and he uses the choicest of language. Talking recently to some Interested American, he said: "I think the time has come when the prejudice so long standing against my race is beglnnning to die away. This is especially so in places where the Chinese are more numerous. For instance, there is much less feeling in California than there is in 'he Eastern cities, where there are fewer Chinamen. As we gradually work into the public ways, and are more met with, we become a part of the country, and of late there have been more rapid strides than ever before in the advancement of good feeling for us. "This good feeling reached its height last year, when the Chinese people were invited to participate in the Fourth of July celebration In San Francisco. They responded so well that the public press came out the day afterward and said the Chinese had given the best display of any part of the programme. We are an easy people to get along with when we are understood, and the American people are beginning to understand us. In San Francisco we are a necessity, and I do not know how that city could get along without us now. "Of course, in religious matters the Chinese are hard to change. We are a race that sticks to tradition very closely, but when we do change we are firm in our beliefs and can be depended upon. I think those who are not prejudiced, and who have lived among us in this country, will say ,that on the average we make good citizens. Of course we like this country, else we would not remain here.

If one wishes to have delicious tea, it should be made in au earthen teapot in which boiling water has stood for some time. When the pot has become thoroughly heated, the water should be poured off and in its place should be put one teaspoonful of tea to each half pint of water to be used. Add water that has reached the boiling point, and set tho teapot on the back of the stove for live minutes. Some send it directly to the table and cover with a cosey for ten or twelve minutes. The Flavor of Meat*. \fter an experience of several years with all sorts of meats I am come to the conclusion that the flavor is derives from the boue and not from the flesh. For example: Cut from a young chicken that part of the breast covering the wish-bone; remove the boue and broil with bnt-'er, adding a few jtrips of bacon. Serve to your guest as "rufle.l grouse," or what we indiscriminate, ly call partridge, and he will think you have returned from the woods after a successful week with live game. In another dish serve a breast cooked with the wish-bone in, and he will say "chicken." A beefsteak broiled with the bone in has an entirely different taste from one broiled with the bone out. Try it. Beyond doubt everything is bred in the bone. What makes the shad so delicious? The bone.?Victor Smith, in New York Press. Farmer** Fruit Cake.

ITovr to Prepare Parsley. Although mince.1 parsley is required for so many dishes, both as seasoning and a garnish, it is not every cook who knows how to prepare it. Only the fresh green pieces should be selected, aud these should be tied in a bunch and blanched in boiling water and then separated and dried thoroughly in a cloth before being chopped with a sharp knife. Jf the parsley is insufficiently dried, the leaves will stick together, and it will bo impossible to miuce them finely, and much of the juice will be lost. To pry parsley successfully, wash it well and divide it into small sprigs, then shake it in a cloth to free it from moisture and fold it lightly in a dry cloth and leave it until it is quite dry. . Prepare a bath of boiliug fat, throw the parsley into it, and if it has been properly dried it will become crisp at once. It must not be allowed to remain in the fat after it is crisp, or it will turn brown. How to Serre Poached Effsjs. Break an egg carefully into a coffee cup, and sprinkle it lightly with salt aud pepper. Have ready a small stewpau containing some boiling beef ttfa which has been nicely seasoued. Carefully slip the egg into the pan and poach it in the usual way. When it is done place it on a rather thick round of buttered toast. Thicken a small qnautity of beef tea quickly with a little corn flour, and pour it over the egg. Another way of serving a poapbed egg is as follows: Break a new-laid egg into a buttered teacup, season it with salt and pepper, and place the cup in a stewpan containing sufficient boiling water to reach rather more than half-way up the cup. As soon as the egg is set, turn.it carefully onto a piece of hot buttered toast. While the egg is cooking boil a small quantity of cream in a saucepan, season it with a little (elery, salt and pepper, and add a teaspoonful of chopped parsley to it; pour the cream over the egg and serve at once. A small hot water plate, with a cover, shonld ba used for all hot dishes sent to the invalid's room, and remember that the cover should be heated as well as the plate. Honneholrl Hint*. Keep two gridirons in the kitchen, one for meat and one for fisb. All meat should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth before qooking. Windows should never be cleaned when the sun is shining on them. Sand paper will whiten ivory handled knives which have become yell^rr i iv n ? j Poultry should never be cooked until twelve or fourteen hours after being killed. When flannel underclothing irritates the skin do not discard flannel, but wear a soft muslin garment next the Bkin. There is nothing that so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore throat, rheumatism as hot water, when applied promptly and thoroughly Vegetables of any kind should not be boiled after they are once well done. Further cooking destroys their flavor and makes them watery and insipid. If tea leaves are to be used to collect the dust in sweeping, they should be put in a colander, well washed with cold water, squeezed dry and spread on the carpet only just before beginning to sweep. Those who drink hot water every morning will Audit more palatable if a small piece of orange peel is added. ? - * * r 11 t - -- a. 1 Tiie tresn peel is preieraoie, out wnen that is not available the dried answers the purpose almost as well.

ODD THINGS IN CUBA* The Way Natives Plant Fences and Americas Soldiers Planted Tables. Some odd things happen in Cuba When a man wishes a fence around his yard or lield, he doesn't build it he plants it?and it grows, too. First he cuts a great bundle of plnon twigs, then he scratches a little trench where hp Tvnntc his fonop tr> run and finally he sticks in the twigs In a row a few inches apart. The soil of Cuba is so rich, and the weather so warm and moist that directly the twigs take root, throw out branches and leaves and presently there is a dense hedge of pinon trees enclosing the field. And there are no nails to drop out here nor boards to fall down and let in the cattle and the fence is good for a hundred years. Nor is that the most curious thing that one may see in Cuba. What would you think of a camp table that grew? While the American soldiers were camped back at "Santiago they made great numbers of little tables by driv ing forked sticks in the ground for legs and using a top of boards. Of course the legs took root and some of these tables are now nicely shaded by leafy branches, and in two or three years four nice trees will be growing there, and no one will ever dream that they were once table legs. Another curious thing. At Guantanamo an old tin can was fastened around the branch of a big Cuban laifrel tree some four or five, feet from its leafy end. It was packed full of earth, and Americans wondered what could the purpose of it. "That's simple enough." said the Cuban householder. "In a few weeks roots will grow in the earth inside the tin can. Then we can cut off the limb just back of the can, stick It in the ground, take away the can and it will grow into a tree." riant a cauliflower plant in Cuba and instead of spreading out in a big fat head like a cabbage, it spindles up for all the world like a sunflower, three or four feet high, with big rank loaves and a little flower at the top that you never could recognize as a cauliflower. ?New York Sun.

But the services of scouts like Major Colquhoun Grant in the Peninsular war sometimes determine the strategy of a whole campaign. Napier's description of the methods of this officer, in whom "the utmost daring was so mixed with subtlety of genius and tempered by discretion," agrees closely wih Colonel Baden-Powell's ideal of the scout's qualities.
