MARY HUNT M'CALEB ' '
Another woman's life is ended;
- Nothing more.
Like some broken vessel stranded
On the shore.
Rushing madly and unbidden
To the grave;
Not a hand outstretched to aid her
None to save
She has loved perhaps unwisely
'And too well;
All the secret of her sorrow
Who can tell ?
Who can know the weary heartache
Of her life?
Who conceive us utur darkness
.Or its strife ?
We only know that all is over;
She ifes there
Wiih the purple seaweed clinging
' . In her hair.
Livid features blue eyes staring
Open wide;
Poor dumb lips that cannot tell us
Why she died,
None may ever know her story
Or her name;
She has thrown aside the shadow
Of her shame.
She has dared to face her Maker
In despair
His alone the right to judge her;
Leave her there.
Have you-received a bill for sub
scription to the Weekly Star re

rect, why not pay it ? Is there a man
on earth who can print a newspaper
for nothing and pay the postage be
sides ? Can a farmer give away his
corn, and cotton, and wheat, and
chickens, and eggs, and keep out of
the poor-house? If so. let us have
the recipe. It will be valuable to us
just now.

A STRONG TESTIMOHIAL..
What t Leading Eduoator Thinks of the
A,9lon EncyeloDSBdio Dictionary.
The high standing of Capt. Washing
ton Catlett, Principal of the Cape Fear
Academy, both as a scholar and an edu
cator, gives a real value to the annexed
testimonial:
WILMINGTON, April 11, 1894.
Mr. W. H. Bernard:
Dear Sir: I have examined very
carefully the 1st Part of the American
Encyclopaedic Dictionary. I am really
surprised at the excellence of the work
both for its intrinsic merit and its price
1 have made a Parallel comparison with
Webster s Unabridged; and with the
Century, published also in parts, costing
me f 2.50 per volume; or. complete, $60.
I find the American Encyclopaedic
Dictionary superior In many respects to
Webster s Unabridged, and for genera
purposes equal to the Century.
The type is distinct and full, the illus
trations numerous, the derivation of
words scholarly and accurate, the defini
tions exceedingly complete and verified
by many extracts from leading modern
authors, the encyclopaedic information
vcty iuii, tne aiacntica marks nlain
paee.
I unhesitatingly endorse the First Part
oi this Dictionary as meeting the require
ments of the scholar and filling the wants
me Kcncrai reaaer ana man of busi
ness needing Renerar information in a
compact and reliable presentation. No
-one need fear that his money will be
misspent, who invests in this work.
Yours truly, . .

The Jnnipinjc WUMbonr, - .,
Pere ia nn -. interestiaf suggestion:
'When the turkey ftaa been duly nerved
and nothing is left but a pile of bones,
Dick out the "wishbone" the bone
which ia shaped like the one shown in
the illustraiton. ' v !
Stretch across the bone- a' double
string and twist the string around a
piece of stick which just reaches to the
top of the bone. On this point place a
bit of soft pitch or any very sticky sub
stance strong enough to grip the end of
the stick; then place the wishbone on
the table, and when the twisted string
has overcome the resistance of the pitch
the bone will Jump high into the air.
On this principle "jumping frogs" are

The Foolish Booster.
"Here, chick, chick!" called Harry,
opening the gate of his poultry yard, j j
He had just traded off a small colony
of rabbits far half a dozen fowls, and
he was very proud of them, for they
Were beautiful birds, especially Narcis
sus, the handsome rooster. . ;
He really shone in the sunlight as
he' came hopping out, with his scarlet
comb, green tail and navy blue wjngs
and breast But I think his pretty head
must hold a very small brain. j I
As soon as Harry let him out for ex
ercise he stalked straight to the cellar
window and gave it a savage peck. Then
he stopped to crow and thenrushed at
it again, fiercer than ever. . j i
You see, he thought that his own re
flection in the glass was another bird,
and he wanted to fight with it f
And so he could not take a stroll in
the green grass, nor scratch in the flower
beds, nor even peck at the grasshoppers
and beetles that the hens made such a
fuss about He only fought Ms own
shadow till it was time for him to be
shut up again. t
I think his brain must be very small
indeed. Youth's Companion: I j
Clipping Their Claw.
- One of the hardest tasks that the keep
ers in museums 'and' zoological gardens
are ever called upon to "perform is to
trim the claws of certain wild Animniq,
This is necessary, because if it were not
done once in awhile J the claws would be
apt to turn into the flesh from lack of ex
ercise. In the wild state the ftrtlmala
use their claws so much in climbing, etc.;
that it keeps them sharp and wears them
down to the right length. In captivity
of course, they cannot do this, and their
keepers have to resort to all kinds of
tricks to accomplish it. Even our pet
cats find it necessary to sharpen and
shorten their claws occasionally and can
often be seen scratching on the bark o 1
trees for that purpose.
Little Rnth Looked On.
Little Ruth Cleveland made her firs ;
public appearance in Washington re
cently, when she went with her mother
ana ner governess to" see the amateur
performance at Albaugh's theater in
which Secretary Carlisle's grandchil
dren danced. The affair was given by
Mrs. Carlisle, with the assistance of a
number of young society people, the
money to be applied to the repair of The
Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jack
son. - 5 !i

We have long been able to have our.

and really button the thing instead of
merely securing it by the thread with which
the buttons are sewed on. It is more trou

oration in themselves, and there is some
thing anomalous in the position of a button
without a buttonhole. . . .

Metal and lVaee Ornamentation. - - .
The display of millinery this spring is as
gay and varied as any-one could desire.
The manufacture of artificial flowers has
risen from a handicraft almost to an art.
and blossoms that are really wonderful im
itations of nature crowd the counters of the
shops and adorn the fanciful hats that this
season has produced. Violets and red roses
are the reigning favorites, repeating the
purple and carmine tints so fashionable in
fabrics. We are evidently entering on a
period of frank coloring, for the haU tints
and subdued shades which have hm
sldered the thing" heretofore are giving
place to brilliant reds, clear blues, vivid
ereQs ana unmistakable yellows.
Some very beautiful mixed straws are
seen, mainly in combinations of green,
pink, black and ecru, and plain neapolitan
braids are also shown almost as flexible

.. Besides the large hats, a number of toques
and capotes are shown. The trimming is
often allowed to fall on the hair at the back.
Sometimes it is ribbon bow, sometimes two
or three j et ornaments with pendants, some
times only a bunch of violets. There is
scarcely a hat or bonnet to be seen into

j Screens are, of course, always "in" sea
son, so many are the convenient and dec
orative purposes they are made to serve
nowadays. But as the time has come
when fires may be dispensed with and the
question arises how to hide unsightly
empty grates, they are now more than
usually Important.
Two and three fold screens are perhaps
more generally useful than the single pan-

el. The latter is, however, less expensive
to buy and easier to make, ana oftentimes
dottct a purpose quite as well. A very
pretty example which may be suggestive
to the amateur cabinet maker is in simple
semirustio style. It is draped with salmon
colored silk, with an insertion of scroll
work embroidered on satin ornamenting
the top.
) ' . i- Rose Paste. ' -.
! A delicate flavor of rose leaves is a trreat
ouuibion w cercain cases and confections,
and a rose paste made at home is purer
than many of the extracts sold for the pur
pose, according to Harper's Bazar, which
gives the folowing recipe: It ia mado by
chopping tho leaves of fragrant roses Into
a smooth mass with white sugar and plac
ing them in an oven lonar enoncrh tn h
thoroughly, but not entirely melt the sug
ar. Use ar-eupfui of the leaves to 3 of
sugar. Keep in airtight cans and allow
to stana six months before opening. This
must be used carefully, only a small quan
tity being necessary to flavor a largo cake.
A novelty at a recent dinner was a Roman
punch flavored in this way with the Turk
ish preserved rose leaves, which may be
purchased at any store dealing in oriental
goods. Into an ordinary Roman punch.
which Is simply a lemon sherbet flavored
to taste with rum, the rose leaves were

vor was obtained, and, the mixture was
then frozen to a soft and snowv onnsictAn.
Ley and served in small glasses. Half a can
or tne 'jLurgish leaves would flavor a suffi
cient quantity for eight persons.
j.' " Angel Food.
Angel food, if correctly prepared, Is one
of the best loaf cakes made. The recipe
herewith given is warranted by The Bak
ers Helper to be the best:
Beat very stiff and dry 10 whites of eggs
(one-half pint), sift together twice, a half
pound of powdered sugar, 5 ounces of pas
try flour, an even teaspoonful of cream tar
tar. Add all this to the eggs, stirring very
gently with wooden snatnla. SnHnfcin
half teaspoonful of vanilla powder to it
and fill in the regular angel food tins.
Soak these molds in old water always be
fore using. Pill while wet just rinse
them out and when baked turn molds
upside down. Never grease or lino the
molds with paper. Just have them wet,
and the cakes will fall out when cold, as
white as snow, all the crust sticking to
tho mold. Frost very thin and give icing
a very ueucara savor, or just a uttle lemon
juice or maraschino. -
A Sahstantlal Paddlns. .

etc., will make excellent puddings if
soaked in cold milk for a sufficient time,
beaten up with suet, a spoonful or two of
sago, some sugar, salt and any fruit you
may be able to spare; also a spoonful of
molasses. Make the mixture stiff and
boil it in a mold for two honm at 1pm
then yon will have a pudding which none
need be ashamed of eating. The sago is
an excellent substitute for egg.
