A LITTLE NONSENSE
The Complaints of an Eleven-month*
* old Baby.
I am a baby eleven months old
and nearly worn out already. Please
let me alone.
J am not a prodigy except to the
extent that, not having anything to
Fay, 1 don t talk. Two big persons
claim to be my parents. Why can’t
they let it go at that? I have nev
er denied the charge. I haven’t
much data to go by, but I don't
think I am either a magician, a
learned pig or a virtuoso. 1 don’t
hanker for applause; so it will be an
appreciated favor if you won’t put
me through any parlor tricks.
If I have my wealthy old Uncle
Ezra's nose, congratulate Uncle Ez
ra, but don t blame me. I may be
a kleptomaniac, for all I know, but
1 can't help it.
Don’t rattle rattles at me; they
rattle me. Don’t googoo and ootsie
kootsie at me. I can’t understand
it any better than I can the English
language.
The pain I have is not in my
stomach, but in my neck. I. don’t
want to be entertained or mystified
or medicated or. applauded. And if
you don't want me to grow’ up to be
a hypochondriac, a stamp collector,
Tin awful example, a pingpong en
thusiast or a misanthrope you just
lemme be! —Smart Set.

Miss T.—She has wonderful con
versational-powers. ,
Mr. J.—But she doesn’t talk a
great deal.
Miss T. —No; I never knew any
one who show’cd such discretion in
the selection of things to be left un
said.
She Appreciated It.
Bacon —Did I understand you to
say your w’ife said the conversation
was brilliant and sparkling?
Crimsonbeak —Those are her ex
act words.
“What was she doing at the
time ?”
‘‘Oh, she w’as furnishing the con
versation.” —Yonkers Statesman.
Womanlike.
Wild Man —Why are you laugh
ing?
Glass Eater —Can’t help it. You
know’ the .fat lady married the
midget.
Wild Man —Yes?
Glass Eater —-Well, when he talk
ed back to her she said, “You mon
ster !”—Chicago News.
Very Much Like One.
Merchant (sternly)—Mr. Clark, I
saw’ you at the ball game yesterday.
When you asked me to let you off
for the afternoon, you said you w’ere
going to a funeral.
Clark—That’s so. I’m pretty near
a prophet, ain't I ? Did you ever
see a slower game in your life? —

Bix Does your wife play the
piano ?
Dix—No.
Bix —Does she play any musical
instrument ?
Dix—None whatever.
Bix—That’s good. You ought to
be proud of her accomplishments. —

Tired of It.
Visitor—Oh, what a nice parrot
you’ve got! Pretty Polly! Polly

Parrot —Oh, come off! I’m not

The Kicker.
The man who stands around and kicks.
He is a lonely elf.
For no one likes to hear his speech,
Except, perchance, himself.
The weather never pleases him.
Though it bring sun or rain;
He seems to want to take the earth
And make it o’er again.
When he in heaven shall arrive,
With earthly sorrows done,
I fear he will complain about
The way the place is run.
—Washington Star.
ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
An Elaborate Application of Ideas of
Art to the Matchbox.
The vogue for things artistic in
the line of house furnishings has
resulted in the matchbox being em
bellished to an extent that warrants
its being considered a work of art.
fine such box deserves this appella
tion, at any rate. It is in panel
form, upon which a skilled artist
has painted in water colors a fire
place scene with brass candlesticks
and blue delft plates on the man
telshelf. This old time fireplace is
deep and wide, and over the fire
which appears to be cheerily burn
ing in the interior hangs a big black
pot. This pot is fashioned of tin,
cut in half and attached to the
painted crane, and serves as a recep
tacle for the unused matches. To
the right of the fireplace is a tiny
w’ood box for the burned matches.
The foreground of the panel shows
a bare floor and a strip of rag car
pet laid before the fire.
A Receptacle For “Stubs.”
Many ladies no longer object to
the smell of fresh tobacco sn>oke in
their houses, but every one objects
to stale fumes. Up till now 7 ash
trays have always been us-ed in
w’hich to put the end of cigarettes
snd cigars, but the result of this
proceeding was that very often the
said ends smoldered for a long time
and emitted oppressive fumes. To
do away with this a new plan has
been started. Little brown ware
pots with silver rims are placed con
veniently for the smokers, a little
water having been put at the bottom
of the vase, into which the smoke
ends are popped when finished W’ith
and thus extinguished at once. Ex
perience has proved that the room
preserves its freshness much better
•in consequence.
Cooked Oranges.
Few people ever think of cooking
oranges, and, as a rule, it is just as
well that the average busy house
keeper does not attempt to do so.
Yet there are ways of cooking this
fruit which might often prove con
venient. Orange fritters, for in
stance, are delicious and not at all
difficult to prepare. To make them
peel and .quarter the fruit, being
careful to remove all the white pith,
and cut the quarters in two. Sprin
kle with brandy and powdered sugar
and leave for an hour or so. Then
remo.- e the pieces, dip them in but
ter and brown in boiling fat, sprin
kle with powdered sugar and serve.
sjlded Chicken.
For chicken in mayonnaise select
and cook a young fowl. Separate
the meat from the skin and the
bones and cut the meat into dice.
Season lightly with salt, white pep
per and celery salt. Make one and
a half cupfuls of good mayonnaise
dressing and w’hip into it one cup
ful of whipped cream. Dissolve one
heaping tablespoonful of granulated
gelatin in a little hot -water and
add to the dressing. Mix thorough
ly w’ith the chicken and pack in a
jelly mold. Stand it on ice until
firm, then turn out of the mold and
serve on a bed of crisp young let
tuce leaves.
Handle It Carefully.
Whenever a bureau drawer, a
trunk or a closet is cleaned it is a
good plan to w’ash the crevices w r ith
naphtha, says an exchange. A long
spout oil can, kept for the purpose,
accomplishes this very quickly. The
fumes of the naphtha quickly evap
orate, but not before they have done
their work of extermination upon
any insects or eggs that may be de
posited in cracks or corners. This
course, persisted in. at regular inter
vals, will practically protect from
moths, carpet bugs and other pests.
An Improved Cushion.
A new chair back or cushion late
ly seen in a shop resembles very
much a large tea cozy and slips over
the back of the chair. Nearly ev
ery woman and surely every man
knows the horror of having the
cushion cling to one’s back tvhen
leaving a chair, so in this one re
spect the new cushion is looked upon
as a relief, and then, too, it has in
one side a large pocket where a
book, paper or other light article
can be slipped.
Prune Jelly.
Wash a pound of prunes and cook
with one quart of w’ater, a cupful of
sugar, a piece of lemon peel and a
stick of cinnamon till tender. Take
the stones out and press the prune
pulp through a sieve. To this add
half an ounce of gelatin dissolved
in a very little water and two gills
of port w’ine. Mold and when un
molding garnish with thin slices of
oranges.
The New Brass Beds.
The latest brass beds are built en
tirely with square lines and are a
decided improvement upon the older
stvled familiar kind.
THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 6, 1903.
Apple Pie With Meringue.
Take one cup of apple sauce and
rub through a sieve. Sweeten to
taste and add a scant cup of milk, a
tablespoonful of butter, yolks of
two eggs and the white of one, beat
en separately, and a little grated
nutmeg and cinnamon. Line a deep
pie plate or a shallow pudding dish
W’ith pastry, pour in the mixture
and bake rather slowly until a knife
blade run in will come out clean.
Make a meringue with the other
white of the egg and powdered sug
ar, flavored with lemon juice; spread
over the pie when it is cool, then re
turn to a very slow oven to harden
and brown. Gooseberries may be
used instead of apples.

Emphasizes its Superiority.
The best test of the merit of an ar

at Owensboro, Ky., where “Clifton”
flour is made, run day and night, and
yet they cannot supply the demand for
“Clifton.” In this city, as elsewhere,
it is the standard by which other flours
are gauged, and the statement that “it
is just as good as Clifton,” only makes
its superiority the more pronounced.

“My son, these maxims make a rule,
And link them a’ thegither:
The rigid righteous is a fool,
The rigid wise anither.”
This man was wise m his own eyes.
He would not buy from a real estate
man because the real estate man gets a
commission. He bought direct from the
owner, a child-like and blank Northeast
Georgian. He could have seen me and
selected what he wanted from a great
variety of real estate of all prices and
descriptions and not have paid more
than its worth. lam not merely amus
ing myself, but I get pay for what I do
—sometimes. Still, if you will look
over my list of all kinds of real estate
you will do better both as to property
and price, and my pay won’t cost you
anything. My list comprises property
of every kind of use, and the prices are
right. I have had long experience, and
know well the people and properties all
around here. I ask buyers and sellers
alike to come to see me and I will put
all in away to make some money. Ido
not publish a list because I can’t dis
criminate in favor of certain patrons or
properties, and I don’t own a newspaper,
but I ve got what you want.
