She  measured  out  tbe  butter  with  a  very  solemn  air; 
The  milk  and  Bugar  also;  and  she  took  tbe  greatest 
care 
To  count  tbe  eggs  correctly  and  to  add  a  little  bit 
Of  baking  powder,  which,  you  know,  beginners  oft 
omit. 
Then  she  stirred  It  all  together  and  she  baked  It  full 
an  hour; 
But  she  never  quite  forgave  herself  for  leaving  out 
the  flour.  —Judge. 
Tommy’s  Kacy  Ratiocination.— Tommy  :  “Do 
hens  ever  pray?”  Mamma:  “How  absurd!  Why  do 
you  ask?”  Tommy:  “  Well,  I  was  just  thinking  that 
they  might  say,  ‘  Now  I  lay  me.’  ” — Yale  llecord. 
The  Art  of  Matrimony.— “  Do  you  expect  your 
marriage  to  be  a  happy  one,  dear?”  “Oh  yes;  I 
guess  so.  But  If  It  Isn't.  Jack  has  promised  either  a 
divorce  or  suicide,  so  you  see  I'm  really  not  running 
much  risk.”— Life. 
Bun  Spots. — He  (of  Boston):  “  Professor  Skihlgh  is 
going  to  lecture  on  sun  spots  to-morrow."  She  (of 
Chicago):  “  Well,  If  I  thought  be  could  tell  of  a  real, 
sure  enough  cure  for  them,  I’d  go  to  hear  him,  I
