To a Five Dollar Bill William, 1 huve not seen you for a long time. We have not been in- timate friends, and yet the fault has not been mine. I have sought you everywhere and other places.

In writing of a cyclone out west one of them said it turned a well inside out, a cellar upside down, moved a township line, blew all the staves out of a kerosene bar¬ rel und left nothing but the bung hole, changed the day of the week, Jfilew the hair off the head of a bald headed man, lifted the mort¬ gage off a farm, blew all the cracks out of a fence and knocked all the wind out of a populist.—Comanche (Tex.) Chief. Toccoa, Georgia, May 24 , 1901. The Origin of Woman. A translation which has just been made by a Sanscrit work gives the following story of the orgin of women : In the beginning when Tvvashtri (the Hindoo Vulcan) came to the creation of woman he found that he had exhausted his material in the making of man, he had no solid elements left, In his dilemma, after profound meditation he did as follows : “He took the rotundity of the moon, and the curves of creepers, and the clinging of tendrils, and the trembling of grass, and the slenderness of the reed, and the bloom of flowers, and the lightness of leaves, and the glances of deer, and the joyous gavety of sunbeams, and weeping of clouds, and the fickleness of the winds, and the timidity of the hare, and the vanity of the peacock, and the softness of the parrot’s bosom, and the hardness of adamant, and the sweetness Qf honey,and the cruelty of the li g er ’ and the warm g lowof fire, and the coldness of snow, and the chattering of jays—and com¬ pounded allthese together he made woman and gave her to man.” An advertisement is never dead until every paper containing it is destroyed. Potato Salad. Mix one teaspoon salt in one tablespoon water, add a pinch of cayenne, six tablespoons of olive oil, and two tablespoons of vinegar. Mix thoroughly together. Chop one medium size Bermuda onion very fine and stir it into the diess- ing. Chop a small quantity of parsely and a little cold beet, and slice one quart of cold boiled pota¬ toes. Put the potatoes into a salad bowl, pour the dressing oyer them, and toss it up well, scatter the beet over the top and sprinkle the pars¬ ley over all. ------- A farmer went into the office of a weekly paper recently to pay his subscription and handed out a $1000,000 bill. The editor’s friend thought when the last bulletin was issued that his chances for recovery were about even. j Iu every woman’s club there are three mortal enemies—the woman who is president, the woman who was president lust ana the woman who is bound to be president next, “Good Will to All Men.’ Night Thoughts. A pious Scotch minister being asked by a friend during his last illness, whether he thought himself dying, answered : “Really, friend, I care not whether I am or not, for if I die, I shall be with God, if I live, He shall be with me,”—Ar- vine. S. T. Coleridge, speaking of a dear friend’s death, said, “It is re¬ covery and not death. Blessed are they that sleep in the Lord ; his life is hidden in Christ. In his Re¬ deemer’s life it is hidden, and his glory will be disclosed. Physiolo¬ gists hold that it is during sleep chiefly that^we grow; what may we not hope of such a sleep in such a bosom ?” C. H. S. There must be life in Christ be¬ fore there can be sleep in Him, “Louis, the beloved, sleeps in the Lord,” said the priest who an¬ nounced the death of Louis The Fifteenth. Thomas Carlyle’s stern comment, “if such a mass of lazi¬ ness and lusts sleeps In the Lord, who think you’ sleeps elseweere.” But why should so vast a price be required? Is man worth the cost A man may be be bought in parts of the world for the value of an ox. It was not man simply* but man in a certain relation that had to be redeemed see one who has been all his days a drunken, worthless fellow. All apppopriate to hitn the epithet worthless worth noth¬ ing. But that man commits a crine for which he is sentenced to he hanged or to be in prisoned for life. Go and try to buy him now Redeem him and make him your servant. Let the richest man in Cambridge offer every shilling he posseses for that worthless man, and this offer be wholly * vain. Why FBecause now there is not on¬ ly the man to be considered but the law. It needs a very great price to redeem one man from the curse of the law of England, but Christ came to redeem all men from the curse of the divine law.—William Robinson. , Does not justice demand the di- dication of yourself to your Lord? God has not only procured a title for you, but a title to you ; and Un¬ less you devote yourself to His ser¬ vice, you rob Him of His right. What a man has bought, h^ deems his own ; and especially when the purchase has been costly, And has not God bought you with a price of infinite value? And would you rob Him of a servant from His family ; of a vessel from His sanc¬ tuary ? To take what belongs to a man is robery, but to take what belongs to God is sacrilege.—William Joy. A speaker at the Fulton street prayer meeting said, I count all cheques as cash when I am mak¬ ing up my money and striking a balance and so when we feel that we have not much of this world’s goods we can at least take hold of Gods promises for they are just so many drafts at sight upon divine mercy and we may count them among our possession. Then we shall teel rich, and the soul is rich who trusts God and takes his prom¬ ises as something for present use.— “My Sermon Notes.” Promises are like the clothes we wear; if there is life in the body they warm us, but not otherwise, When there is living faith the pro- will afford warm comfort, but a dead, unbelieving heart it lies cold and ineffectual It has no more effect than pouring cordial down the ihr<»it <*f ;j corp-.e.— \\ . liam Gumeli.

It is generally a mystery to a man just how he came to propose. The millennium is only another name for the Noah family reunion. Half of the trouble in the world is caused by the devil; the rest is caused by family friends. The girl’o idea of diplomacy is to pick out another girl for a man she thinks wants her and deviling him into going with her. The houses in heaven never need any cleaning, but even there the women angels will probably want to change the furniture around. You can generally 7 buy a man for a lot less than his wife thinks he’s worth. A woman’s political opinions are most as easy to understand as a Chinese laundry ticket. Self-possession in a woman is knowing that her dress fits her bet¬ ter than any other woman’s there. Every old maid at 40 ought to be made to take oath that it was not her fault or else be imprisoned for life. There is about the same danger in a widow that there is in a success¬ ful lie. The proof that there is no house¬ cleaning in heaven is that there is no heaven in housecleaning. When a woman tells you that all the men are alike she has gen¬ erally found out that one of them was different. No woman can afford to wear 4 t sensible” shoes as long as there is any man who doesn’t act sensi- ble about her. Very few men who are wise enough to make women love theifi can be idiots enough to make them worship them. Calumet K.

Heat one quart of fresh unskim¬ med milk in the double boiler un- til it is quite hot. Beat the yolks of four eggs until they are smooth and well broken, add four heaped teaspoons of sugar and one level teaspoon of salt and beat until thick and creamy, Beat the whites slightly until loamy, add them to the yolks and sugar, and then mix thoroughly with the hoi milk, turn¬ ing the milk into the eggs rather than the eggs into the milk. Set t e custard cups in a shallow pan, fill them with the custard stirring well as you pour it in, that the foam be equally distributed. Fill them as full as you can, then set the pan in the oven and fill till nearly run mng over, Pour hot water in the pan and bake them carefully in a hot but not too hot oven. If they are very foamy they scorch quickly. Take each one out as soon as it puffs up and a knife blade, inserted clean to the botton. comes out clean. The depopulation of Ireland by emigration goes s f eadily on. O —I - ficial returns just issued show the number of emigrants who left Irish ports in 1900 was 47,107, or 10.5 per 1,000 of the estimated popula¬ tion of Ireland in the middle of the year, being an increase of 3,347, as compared with the number depart¬ ing in 1899. The total number of emigrants natives of Ireland who left Irish ports from May 1, 1851 (the date at which the returns be¬ gan), to Dec. 31, 1900, is 3,841,419 —2,003,344 males and 1,838,075 females. These figures tell their own tale. It is interesting, however, to note that not all who quit the Emerald Isle seek fresh homes on this side of the Atlantic, j n no fewer than 6,050 natives left Ireland with the intention of settling permanently in Great Bri- tian. Of these 4,123 left for Eug- land and Wales, and 1,927 for .Scot. land, the average for the four pre¬ ceding years being 1,757 and 1,030 respectively, This shows a con- siderable increase. T he number of persons who leave England and Scotland for permanent residence in Ireland is very small. On the other hand, the annual exodus from Scotland to England is considera¬ ble.
