It is getting to be quite a craze for the girls to chew gum at night, and it is a most ruinous habit. They lose their rest, tire their usually pretty jaws and wake up- in the morning peevish, cross-grained, with a sallow complexion, their digestive organs im paired and their beauty and vivacity gone.

Mr. Bowser came home the other af ternoon just in time to meet - the cook going away with her bundle, and he rushed into the house to inquire : "I suppose you've gone arid done it again ?" ' - . -" "What?" n. "Abused and maltreated the girl un til her sense of justice has compelled her to leave." . "I hadn't anything to do" with her leaving. "Then who had I, She looked heart broken as I passed her just now." "Did she T Foot thine ! She cot a letter this morning from her aunt, tell her she had bees left $3,000 cash, and advising her to come home and marry man who owns ' three farms. She must feel very sorrowful." "Humph! And too didn't put too much work on her ?". , -? . . "No. " : ".;; s:;" " "Nor make her feel her position ?" "Wn TTo-i nnsitinn vena in tliri rtn r- lor about half the time." ! "Well, it seems queer to me that so many of our girls leave. Everything is upset now for a week, 1 suppose." f "Oh, no ! You can cook, you know, and yon are such a sympathetic soul that you ought to be willing to go into the kitchen for a day or two. I. shall depend on you, Mr. Bowser." "Oh, you will! Not satisfied with driving a dozen poor souls to destruc- tiori, you want a rub at mel I would I not have your spirit for all the money in the world." He went away with that, but he was at home an hour earlier than usual, and when I inquired the cause he said : "What for ? Why, the child aud I have got to have something to eat, haven't we. and who's to- cook it if I don't take hold V "I can cookt "Mrs. Bowser, I've long felt it my duty to give you a few lessons in the culinary art. I haye held off, hoping vonr bride would f oree you to take hold, but the limit has been reached. The time has come when I must sacri fice my business to enter the kitehen, and save my ehild from the pangs of hunger.". "Please don't." But ! win. I'm driven to it. I've got a wife who can't cook the north west end of a last year's turnip, aud who can't keen a cook ever a week at a time. I've put up with it too long- much too long. Mrs. Bowser, I must sacrifice my dignity to preserve nay child." Shan't I help you get supper?" Not a help. You'd only be in the way. Just sitdowmn tue rocKer, mrs. Bowser, put youi feet on the loungt, and think what mean things you are going to say to the next girl to drive her awav. When supper is ready I will call your royal highness." He disappeared with that ,". When he reached the kitchen he took oS his eutxs and coat, pushed up his sleeves, aud kindled a fire. His confidence began to desert him at this point, and he seemed to be studying deeply as he filled thej tea-kettle even full and set it to boif.'I had some fresh beefsteak iu the ice-box, and hegot jt out, scratched his head in a thoughtful way. and laid it on the kitchon table- Then he went down in the cellar after the hatchet, wiped the head of it on his right leg, and pounded away until a go6d shate of the steak had gone into the board. ; " Mr. Bowser's next move was to bunt behind the pantry door for a spider whieh we had never nsed. He carried it to the kitcheh towel, gave it a wipe, and then placed it on the stove. He had heard that grease was necessary, and he put in some butter, dropped, in his steak and soon had 1 It i sizzling. Then he started in for the bisemt. He crot down the dishpan, filled it almost full, and then reflected a moment. I took advantage of the occasion to open the door and remark : ' ""Mr. BowserJ you needn't figure on an elaborate supper, under the circum stances. Just make us a cup of tea and we'll get along." "Mrs- Bowser, you ought to know by this time that there is no half-way work with me," he replied, with great frigidity. "You can afford to neglect the comfort of this family, bnt I can not. Please return to your novel," Then he went ahead just as any oth He had heard about soda and short- ening m oiscuii, uu no iuubu tuo uuut is! with cold water, pttt in pepper and I salt, slashed Off half a pound of butter I and stirred it in, and theo remembered the baking powder. There was nearly & nnarter of a pound in the box, and y . the whole of it went in. How Mr. Bowser managed to get a grease spot oeiween nis snouiuers, flour in his hair, and baJtmg powder in his hind-pocket, I do not know, but probably while he was rolling that mass out. He didn't triQe with miTine,-boaro. out usea me poii wue I . . m l 3 a. . A. I. w. T heard the mass uwuivkmw - : nt Innch Tail TO tilt) Hour lureo uiudicui times with a dnU thud, but he. wasn't a bit discoureged. He got it rolled out at last, out some biscuits wim. a tea cup, aud presently tue oveu on the tins. He bad just forty biscuit. By this time the steak had burned black on both sides, and he set it down behind the stove and prepared the tea. To two quarts of water be used one teaspoonful. Ten minutes later he summoned me to the banquet. He had the tablecloth on criss-cross, the butter on a pie plate, the cake in the cheese dish, and his beefsteak was placed in the centre ofthe table on a pie tin. Anything wrong t" he asked, as I sat down. ' "Oh, no. , You have done, splendid- ly. , "I am aware of it. 1; This table has never looked so homelike before.' His biscuits were raw in the middle, while tbe top and bottom were so fear fully and wonderfully ms.de that I had to laugh. - "The biscuit; you can't beat 'em. Wait till you taste one," 1 didn't tasce, but ne did. 1 was watching him, and a look of horror came over his face at the first mouth ful. He wouldn't give in, however, bat crowded a whole biscuit down and pretended to enjoy it. I wouldn't eat any of that steak. Mr. Bowser," said I,as he eyed it suspi ciously. , . ' ' "Wouldn't you ? ? Perhaps youwant it all yourself". . ;r ! "I don't think it is properly cooked." 4:Well. I do! If that isn't a nice steak . then wo never had one in this house." He ate at least a quarter of a pound, thougi every morsel choked him.- I oflEereil to wash up the dishes, but hej put me out of the kitchen and went ahead. He washed everything in a flour pan, wiped them on whatever he could find loose, and it was a week be fore we got the pantry in order again. That ni"ht. after bracreing or wnat a breakfast he was going to get, Mr. Bowser was taken with chills arid colic, and when the doctor came nnd I show ed him the beef and the biscuit, he said : 'Mr. Bowser, if you hadn't the stomach of a shark you'd have been dead an hour ago. You'd better quit this .rt of nonsense, if you want to live the year out." And as soon as we weie alone Mr. Bowser turned to me with : 'Don't expect me to shield you again ! Tour jealousy prompted you to put poison in that flour while I was down eellar! If this thing occurs again I will send you to the gallows." Detroit Free Pre. Vory Uoitl for Detective Xaru.
