GRANDMOTHER'S STORY,
"Te1] me a story, grandma," said lit -

'Well, what shall 11 ba about 1" said
the old lady. smiling, as she laic) her

little granddaughter.
"About schen you were a little girl,"
was the answer,
"Let me think. Oh, yea, I remenlb-
er," she said as she stroked Bessie'
golden hair and kissed her on the fore-
head. "When 1 was 'cheat, twelve
years old 1 went to spend the summer
with some friends. 'There were two
children, both a little younger Than
myself. The older one was eland and
the younger one Alary.
"I had not been there long before w -e
planned to have a spread some night,
after we had gone to tied. We set the
night and began to coaeet all the candy
and good things we could find and put
them in a basket, which we kept un-
der the bed,
"That night we went to our ro"tu
and smdresaed, then we waited for
their mother to come and say good
night. We waited but she did not conte
and so we turned out the lamp and
pretended to go to sleep. In a few
minutes we were up and had the bask-
et, The feast eotsisted of three crack-
ers apiece, about half a dozen candies,
a few peanuts and some cookies. We
all sat down on oue bed and began to
talk softly. Suddenly I heard a foot-
step on the attire, and knew what it
was. 1 pushed ltaud back into her
place in the bed and jumped in myself.
'Sir -r -r -r I She is coming; I said. But
Mary just sat there and looked at us.
Suddenly she looked al us and realized
what was the matter, then made a
rush for her bed,
"She had just reached it when 1 caw
a figure in the doorway. Their moth-
er entered and kissed us, then went out
again. We were about to get up again
when we heard her say, Don't talk.'
They were the words we had dreaded,
and what was anything without talk-
ing? 1 lag down again and began to
groan, when I saw Mary beside me,
'Mamma didn't say we must not whis-
per,' she said under her breath. In a
few minutes we were out of bed and
eating. Then what a good time we had
and we talked until we had eaten ev-
erything and it was long after time for
us to be asleep.

LITTLE BRIDES IN INDIA.
Have you all heard that the little
girls in India are married when so
young that they ought to he playing
with dolls and learning to read?
It is a sad state of things which
makes this possible, but because the fa-
thers and mothers have for many. many
years sent their daughters away at this
early age, the fathers and mothers of
this day think they must do the same.
We have seen a picture that shows
a bride of the merchant caste. counted
as "high caste," Her father Is pro-
bably wealthy. and they have dressed
her in beautiful silks. And she has
jewels upon her amts and hands and
neck. She also has a beautiful jewel on
her forehead, perhaps that is the most
precious of them ail. And if lea could
see her little bare feet we could
see toe -rings and tinkling ankle -hands
upon these.
All through the days of the wedding
feast she displays these fine things.
Then she is carried to her husband's
home, and in the dark, secluded rooms
in which women live she will pass the
test of her Life.
Itlany a little bride never sees the.
bright sky, flowers, trees and friends
after she is married. Have you ever
read about the "child widows" of In-
dia? 1f this girl's husband should
soon die his family would think she
had brought evil to th) house and ca11.-
ed his death. They would take from
her all her pretty elr,.thes and jewels,
and give her in return (me coat's,. dress,
They would make her do the hardest
work and -eat the poorest of food.
A few years ago it was found that
there were seventy-nine widow's in In-
dia under nine years of age. Do you
not think w -e ought to be thankful to
have melt good fathers and mothers 1

MILK IN THE COcOANtr.
Every boy knows the three eyes to
be found in one end of a cocoanut, earl
many a, boy bas bored these eyes out,
or ane or two of them, wird the small
blade of a pocket knife so as to get
at the intik in the cocoanut, which he
has then drained out in a cup or drunk
direct from the rocoanut itself. But
there is a more fascinating way atilt
of gelling at the milk in the caroanut,
By (hie other method the cureanut
is opened at the other end from the
eyes. The cot'ottnut is struck rill around

place in the New church, Amsterdam

To grow up with the eyes of a na-
tion watching for the girl to develop
and rejoicing as she changes from a
pretty child into an unusually attrac-
tive woman is a lot that anyone might
envy. ,Such bus been the life of Wil-
helm/Ina. Her budding beauty has been
raved over and written about as few
other young women's looks here bean;
her mental qualities have been praised
in the way to turn the heat) of a
less vein young person, and, in a
word, she has been the idol of the na-
Lion and the pride of every, Dutchman

presents is one that the nation re-

be supposed, there are enough suit-
able buildings in Amsterdam to house
a certain number of royal and other
distinguished guests, and t:he mem-

"What is the use of getting anxi-

apparent unconcern typical of his
race when I referred. to the incon-

ers, and added, "All I know is that I

a simple sponge sake is easily made am

nicer than a more elaborate cake to
serve either with berries, custard, float
or other summer desserts.
Sponge Cake—['our eggs well beat-
en, two pups pule/seized sugar, sifted
and added to the eggs, two cups flour
sifted two or three Limos, to which two
teaspoons of baking powder are added
before the last sif Ling, Stir all to-
gether, then add a scant cup of boiling
leafier. Beat until smooth and brake in
one loaf in a moderate Oren. frost or
not as preferred. Add flavoring after
the hot water is put in. This is very
nice indeed. If granulated sugar is
used at least a heaping tablespoon less
than the recipe calls for should be us-
ed, for granulated sugar being heavier
than powdered sugar makes a mike
heavy or gives it a waxy -like upper
crust when baked, if the same quantity
]s used, Tshhould use.e coarser the granules the
less one
Delicate Pudding,—In the bottom of
a baking dish put a generous layer of
rhubarb, blackberries, raspberries,
cherries, sliced peaches or quickly cook
ing apples into quarters: Over this
spread a dough rand) from a cup of
sweet cream, pinch of saltteaspoon
balling powder eau f,eur to make a
batter as for cake, )lake for about
twenty minutes or until the crust is
done and sorra hot in saucers, with
the rich, orisp, crust under and the
fruit dished on top. Serve with sweet-
ened cream, as the fruit, if sweetened
before cooking, would sctn'cn in the
baking dish. This is easy and quickly
prepared and is fine. One-fourth the
amount used for sponge cake may be
used instead of the receipt just given
ie desired, and is by some thought to be
superior Lo the plainer ()rust.
lecoat—A quart of sweet milk, half
cup sugar, teaspoon flavoring—lemon
m' vanilla—and the well beaten yolks
of six eggs. Please over a hot fire and
stir almost constantly until hat enough
to cook the eggs and thicken, but
watch closely and remove from the
fire before it actually boils, else it
'trill have a curdled uppearanoo, four

tablespoons of sugar, it pinch of salt,
and half teaspoon of same flavor used
in the custard. Have. ready a pan of
boiling water and on top al Ibis drop
the beaten whites, a spoonful in a
place. The steam will nook or "rut" it
in a minute when it IS to be removed
and lightly placed on top of the cus-
tard. This makes a most beautiful
dish which is as palatable as it is name -
.
A plain custard is made similar to
the float; only the whites and yolks of
eggs are not beaten separately, but all
cooped together in the milk.
ISEIIPING A MEAI, 110T.
lq ivory household there are occa-
sions when it is impossible for every
member to be present when the meal is
first served.
When it is necessary to keep a meal
hot for a belated comer, do not set the
plate holding the fours in a hot oven,
thus discoloring the. china as well at)
drying the food; Instead, place the plate
upon the ninon!' a pan of boiling wa-
ter, covering the plate with a pan that
will just fib over the edge of. the plate.
The food will keep hot and there will
be enough steam from the boiling wa-
ter in the lower pan, to keep the plate
moist and prevent the contents from
becoming dried. ---
