Show "Ashes f Aiiuvla" Cuke. I once knew nn estimable lady who In ihu absence of her conk undertook in m ike a certain kind nf cuke. She took 'Vonie" of one kind of liiuiertlcnt. little' of another and "a smnll quantity" quanti-ty" of something else. To her delight and surprise, the result wus a cake of which neither sho nor any ono olxe had ever hoard. It was an entirely now oko nnd an extremely delicious ono. Proud of her 'achievement, the lady gave the cake the h' autlful and poetic pitino of "uRlies of angols," nnd on the very next occasion whon the absence of her cook madn li possible for her to vnture Into her kitchen sho tried to repeat her micces. This event happened In tho year 188.1, and ever since that date the unfortunate un-fortunate lady ha been vainly trying to reproduce lier.wnnderful cake. Sho has nover once succeeded, although Mile has made at luast 200 different varieties varie-ties oj oatte and pudding, each ono of which has beeu moro deadly than tlie other. Sho Is still hoping that one or thpse days she ma"y hit upon her 'ashes of angles" again, nut as that cako wus purely the result of chancu the prospect tbut she will bo nblo to tuuka It a second timo Is not bright.
