TROUBLES OF MAINE FAMILY
RESULTED IN TRAGEDY.
_"ROCl{LAND, Me., Dec. 3-Mrs.Al\B-
tin Elwell, of Cushing, killed her two
small children and herself by lumping
with them into an abandoned lime-
stone quarry four hundred feet deep
and nearly filled with water. ,_

SOME FEATURES OF THE -
_ NEW GOWN.
'The long kirt is much itsed”-fw ln
many gowns for indoor wear. al~.
though g few of the elaborate models
are made in clearing length skirt.
Graceful draperies require a sweeping
slrirt to carry out the lines suggest-
cd, and while the even length sweep'
ing skirt is most genera-lly used, some
show 3 short train. The train is ns-
:islly formed in one with the lower
section of the skirt, instead of the
over- rapery being lengthened in the
hncigp extend beyond the dress in
train outline, as was noticed last_
winter. Rich brrocades showing ther
pattern worked outiin gold and silver
threads, or embossed velvet designs
on chiffon cloth are seen on the more
lahorate models-. Some of the more
simple gowns show beaded draperies
or brocaded charmeuse and shadow
lace, the latter often being used in
tunic cllect, slightly] draped at the
back. Very smart models show the
gowns developed in plain charmeuse,
the drapery' being overlaid with chld-
on of contrasting color. The modified
panniera are very good style for this
drapery treatment, although on the
newest models there is n tendency to
lower the draperies. The use of fur
in marrow trimming bands is featured
to a considerable extent, and when
|dish to cool: Cook all the white 'of
egg in the some way. Take the milk
lofi the dre, and add to it any that
may have drained from the snow-
balls. Beat the yolks, udd them to
the cold milk, and stir them well, so
lthat they may be thoroughly mired.
Pass the custard through a due S1046
land put on the fire, stirring it all the
time with a wooden spoon until it
thickens. It should be ns thick as
double cream. Pour the custard,_when_
cold, on the dish on which the whites
|nre placed, but -be careful not to pour
it over them, only around, as the
halls should look as white as pos-
sible-llke snow.
‘Sweet Omelctte Souflle-Beat the
yolks of four eggs with a dessert-
spoonful of powdered sugar and afew
drops of vanila or other flavoring es-
sence. Whip the whites quite stlffly
and stir them lightly to the yolks.
Pour the mixture into a well butter-
ed omelette pan, and put it into a
brisk oven for about seven minutes.
Turn it onto a hot dish, fold over,
and scrvc quickly. A smaller <i\19-Ilti'
ty will require less time to cook.
Bum Omelette is made like sweet
omelette. When cooked, sift with DOW"
dered sugar, fold over and pour two.
or three spoonfuls' of rum over it. The
rum is often set on fire at thc mo-
ment of serving, like Christmas pud-
ding. '
Umelettc an Confitnre.--Make a
plain omeiette, ~ omitting the Denver

powdered sugar for it. When cooked,

NEW DISHES FOR DESSERT.
Snow Eggs.--Break four eggs, sep-
arating the yolks from the _wliltcs;
_beat the latter to a stiff froth, still
enough to detocli itself entirely from
the plate on which they are henten.
Boil a pint of milk with five or six
lumps of sugar and a fiavoring of van-
ila. When boiling, take up the white
of egg in spoonfuls and drop it into
the milk; put in three spoonfuls at
n time, not more, or they wlll be
crushed one against the other. When
the whites are well swollen, turn
them and let them simmer for about
fifteen minutes: then lift them with
a skimmer, drain, and put thcfn"`on u

TH PATRIOT.
Convict 247X was a little fellow,
,with the eyes of u. ferret, and the
tongue of n Billingegate aboriginal.
He was a man of many grievances,
and his soul writhed under the cruel
late which had immured him in a
Scottish prison. His amour propre
was wounded, and he showed lb.
When the new parson puid his first
visit, Convict 2471( received his rev-
erence with 'a scowl.
“What’re _ after?" he demanded,
folding his arms, -aiididra\'vlug` him-
self up to the full extent of his im-
"0h, 'just a friendly call, you
know,” said the parson, with an in-
gratlating smile. The smile was a
failure. The arrow-spangled littl;
nian openly jeered at it.
“Ho, yusl Ho, yusl A lriendly
orf!"
“Bless mel” exclaimed the aston-
enr man.
_ “That there smile, I tell yer. Orf
with it! I won’t 'ave no bloomln'
Scotchman a-smiling at me in this
'ere ’ole." And the little man shiv-
ered all over. He seemed to find lt
cold in ’ell. '
The person was grave in a. mo-
ment.. But his eyes chuckled, so' to
speak. ‘
"Well, I'rn an Englishman, also, so
we have something in common, you
see."
" ‘One touch of natur’, eh?" said
John Bull, with a sudden brightening
of manner. " ‘One touch' of natur'
makes the whole world k-ln’.’ That’s
lt. Yer see, I 'ave read n bit in my
time--_studied literachoor, English
litarachoor."
ing'?.’_’ inquired the parson, curiously.
“ln Portland and Dartmoor," was
the glib reply. "They bencouraged
vou there to himprove yer mind; but
herf,»-look at this, sir. Do they call
tlllaliterachoor in Scotland?" ' And
ed up a ticker that nd' fallen from
nn old party that ad been 'avlng n
England, now"-and the poor man
almost wept.
"But you had a fair trial, at any
rate. I suppose?"
“Garn!" said Convict 247X. "You
must be a green 'un-you! 'Oo cver
heard of an Englishman getting a
lair trial in Scotland? There was a
Scotch judge, and n Scotch jury, and
Scotch lawyers, and Scotch witness-
es, and Scotch perlicemen; and.I asks
you, as an eddicated man, wot 'chance
has an Englishman when he’s up
hope you are at least fairly comfort-
able
Yes?'
"Like a lot of bloomln' Scotch-
men," said Cbnvict Z47X. _
