My Way of Cooking Rhubarb—After Washing the stalks of the wine plant without peeling, slice in small pieces and cover with boiling water and let stand on the stove for three or four minutes, not to come near to a boil, Then drain off every. bit of water and sprinkle sugar all through it and et it cook very slowly on the back of the range, or in the oven, and it will be a lovely red syrupy sauce, if not cooked too rapidly. We are all glad to hear from Rural Delivery. AUNT MARY. BUMBLE BEE’S CANDIED OPINION.

The donation party came off very accyTably to every one, but the un- forturate Mr. Mix and his wife, who saw their best china handled with reckless indifference as the tables were set by the guests for their-own entertainment; and forced-themselves to smile as the house was from cellar to garret. “Dear me.” said the wife to her- self.” it will take a week to set things right. It will cost us more than it will come. to.” It was after twelve o'clock before the young people would lend an ear to the admonitions of their elders that it was time to g0, and the clock struck one before the last one had said good- bye. “Well, of all the messes I ever did see,” eald Miss Smart as she stood in | bl the dining room door JMrs. Mix’s shoulder. The table was loaded down with dishes. that had been used for the ev- ening entertainment, and coffee mak- ing its way over the snow-white ta- ble cloth. “I am glad I stayed to help you get righted around, Miss Smart continued, as she tied an apron looking over »| around her, covering her from head to foot, and made a vigorous attack up- | ja: on_the dishes. While the ladies were busy = Mr. Mix looked over the collection of pen- ‘wipers, and iron holders that decorat- ed the parlor table, and then teok up o the overcoat with a sigh, as he real- izeq the discrepancy between his size and its proportions. : “Put that on a minute,” said Miss Smart, “and let's see if it can't be taken in to fit you” S The minister obeyed, but as he drew it on and put his hand in_the side pocket, drawing it around him bet- ter, his hand came In contact with somiething, and drawing the obstruc- tion out he produced a.wallet. looked at it in blank amazement.
