THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
November 2, 
From Day to Day 
THE. ANGELUS. 
Bells of the I’ast, whose long-forgotten music 
Still fills the wide expanse, 
Tingeing the sober twilight of the Present 
With color of romance ! 
I hear your call, and see the sun descending 
On rock and wave and sand, 
As down the coast the mission voices, blend¬ 
ing, 
Girdle the heathen land. 
Within the circles of your incantation 
No blight nor mildew falls; 
Nor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor low ambition 
Passes those airy walls. 
Borne on the swell of your long waves reced¬ 
ing, 
I touch the farther Past— 
I see the dying glow' of Spanish glory, 
The sunset dream and last! 
Before me rise the dome-shaped mission 
towers, 
The white Presidio; 
The swart commander in his leathern jerkin, 
The priest in stole of snow. 
Once more I see Portala's cross uplifting 
Above the setting sun ; 
And past the headland, northward, slowly 
drifting, 
The freighted galleon. 
O solemn bells ! whose consecrated masses 
Recall the faith of old— 
O tinkling bells! that lulled with twilight 
music 
The spiritual fold! 
Your voices break and falter in the darkness 
Break, falter, and are still, 
And veiled and mystic, like the Host descend¬ 
ing, 
The sun sinks from the hill! 
—Bret Harte.

The Melbourne Australasian tells 
about a small girl from town who was 
making her first visit to the country. 
While playing near a brook she met with 
a turtle, a creature she had never seen 
before. After carefully observing it for 
some time, she ran into the house, ex¬ 
claiming : “Oh, grandma, I saw something 
so funny down there; it put its hands and 
its feet in its pockets and swallowed its 
head. What is it?” 
* 
The Mark Lane Express tells how a 
lady, intent on raising some chickens, 
purchased some eggs for the purpose. She 
inquired of a friend how long the eggs 
should remain under the hen, and the 
friend replied: “1 hree weeks for chickens, 
and four weeks for ducks. Some time 
after they met again, and the friend asked 
how the chickens had turned out. 
“After three weeks,” the lady replied, 
“I looked and there were no chickens, so 
1 took the hen away, as I didn’t want 
ducks.” 
* 
Goose stuffed with sauer kraut is a 
German dish for the Winter season. Se¬ 
lect a young goose and prepare it for 
roasting. Stuff it generously with sauer 
kraut and place it in an earthen roaster 
if possible. Rub the goose with salt and 
pepper; lay it in the pan and pack sauer 
kraut well around it; add one pint of 
boiling water and roast, covered, in a 
moderately hot oven, basting frequently 
with the pan dripping until it is brown 
and tender. Dish the kraut with the 
goose. Boil the giblets and make into a 
separate gravy, as the pan gravy will not 
suffice; too much of the juice is absorbed 
by the kraut. 
* 
A plain plum pudding, without suet, is 
made as follows: Take 10 ounces of flour 
and rub into it six ounces of butter; when 
well mixed add three ounces of brown 
sugar, a tablespoonful of molasses, six 
ounces of well-washed, dried and picked 
currants and sultana raisins (three of 
each), one ounce of finely cut mixed peel, 
half a teaspoonful of mixed spice, the 
grated peel and juice of half a lemon. 
Mix all well together, and then add two 
whole eggs, and mix again, with the addi¬ 
tion of a good pinch of salt. Now add a 
good half cup of warm milk, into which 
has been worked a small half tcaspoonful 
of carbonate of soda. Stir thoroughly, 
and put into a pudding cloth that has been 
lightly wrung out of hot water: tie up so 
that there will be plenty of room to swell, 
and boil for two and a half hours.

The Ohio State University, in its agri¬ 
cultural college extension bulletin for Sep¬ 
tember, touches on the subject of bad 
manners at the table and otherwise in 
the home. “Manners makyth man,” said 
William of Wykeham, and it is quite as 
true now as five centuries ago. A man 
may have all the graces of mind and 
heart, and yet be regarded as a boor, be¬ 
cause of an uncouth exterior. It should 
be remembered that strangers, at least, 
must take us at our face value; it is only 
our friends who recognize the gold be¬ 
neath the rusty covering. It must not be 
imagined that country people are really in 
any more need of such instruction than 
others, for the lamentable displays of un¬ 
couthness and discourtesy seen in almost 
every public place show that a campaign 
of civilization is needed in the cities as 
much as elsewhere. But there is no rea¬ 
son why a country boy or girl should be 
slovenly of person or ungainly of manner, 
and we are not living up to our privileges 
when we permit it. It is just as easy to 
use knife and fork correctly, to eat and 
drink neatly and noiselessly, and to show 
courtesy to one’s companions, at a kitchen 
table spread with clean oilcloth as at a 
dining table decked with silver and dam¬ 
ask. When courtesy becomes a fixed 
habit, as the result of home training and 
environment, there need be no risk 
of self-betraying awkwardness among 
strangers. 
* 
It is said that 1,200 people in Kennebec 
County, Me., have pledged themselves to 
abstain from meat-eating for 10 days, as 
a protest against the present high prices 
demanded for meat. We do not know 
how far the cattleman is being benefited 
by these increased prices, but we do know 
that they are a heavy burden to those 
whose income does not increase, while the 
price of living does. We think it is pos¬ 
sible to lessen one’s purchases of meat 
without lessening materially the nutritive 
value of the dietary, but this often means 
extra work in preparing the food. This 
does not mean cutting out meat entirely, 
but replacing it in part with well-cookcd 
vegetables. We occasionally take a meal 
at a vegetarian restaurant, where, one 
would imagine, such food would be served 
in the most appetizing fashion, but our 
experience is, as a rule, that the vegetables 
are decidedly insipid, and often poorly 
cooked. Of course a farmer’s family, 
with eggs, poultry and milk at hand, is 
not in the same position as those who 
must buy all their supplies in the open 
market. In cutting down the meat bills 
the first items we would eliminate are 
steaks, chops and expensive roasts. They 
are all very nice, but they cost too much, 
and the steaks and chops are extravagant 
for a family. We would also make use 
of cheese quite freely, especially in cook¬ 
ing. It must not be imagined that watery 
vegetables, such as cabbage, turnips, 
squash, etc., can take the place of meat, 
no matter how well they are cooked. 
How to Cook a Husband. 
Can you give me the recipe “How to cook 
a husband?” Please answer by return mail. 
MRS. H. B. 
Some misguided women seem to think 
that the only way to cook a husband is 
to get him in hot water first, and roast 
him afterwards. However, we imagine 
that our inquirer wants a whimsical old- 
fashioned quotation under this title, which 
we have seen, many years ago, and whose 
authorship is unknown to us. If any of 
our readers can find this recipe in a scrap 
book or other collection, we shall be glad 
to receive it.
