The seasoo when vel is at its cheapest and at its best will soon be here, and with it the season of eew spinach from the home. gardwasend veal potpie. This farmers stew is one at the simplest of savory dishes. There is no possible excuse for the leaden crust so often saved with thia dish in these days wheu good baiting powder or excellent cream of eerier and soda, may be had. To make a good potpie, choose pieces from the neck or shoulder of the veal. These pieces are full of rich juices and make an espeeial- ly nice potpie, while they cost lest *au al- most.any other part of the animal. Separate the bones from the lean and remove any superfluous at, Take the pieces of lean metaled season them thoroughly. with salt and pepper. Theo should be mum maiform size. There slimild be about two pounds for asmell family. Cover the bones with is cold waler and allow them to simmer at the lack of the Ere for about an hour. This will Make a sufficient stook to cook the pot- pie in. though, if there are no bones with the veal, you can use water instead and omit this part of the process. Melte table- spoonful of butter in the bottom of a Scotch kettle or any other saucepan. Dredge flour over the pieces of veal and throw them in this butter to brown a little. Stir them con- tinually for if they should burn in the pot the dish is ruined. Pour over the brown- ed pieces of veal the stock obtained from the bones, or, if this part of the work was omitted, boiling hot stock of any or boiling water. There should be just enough liquid to cook the meat, but not enough to cover it, Put a cover over the pot and set it where its contents will simmer very slowly for three-quarters of an hour. At the end of this time the crust should be prepared. This should always be made from soda and cream of tartar or from bakimz powder. No other mailed gives such a light, puffy crust. To two cups of flour use a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, or a tesopoon- fnl of cream of tartar and a scant half tea- spoonful of axle. Add also a saltspoonful of salt and the same amount, of sugar. Sift these in_e,oredienta thoroughly together and stir in the scant cupful of rich milk, if you use new process flour. Pastry flour requires somewhat less liquid. Ab all events, the dough should not he hard, but about as stillas you can stir it. Thep a tablespoon- fnl of this mixture over the top of your boiling stem. Do this as rapidly as you eau and replace the cover on the stew the mo- ment it is accomplished. Set the pot for- ward where its contents will boil a little more rapidly then they have. In ten or twelve minutes remove the cover, take out the pieces of crust,- which shall be thorougly 1 done, arrange them in a circle on a platter and lay the pieces of veal in the centre.

I believe that dyspepsia is caused oftener by overcrowding the stomach than it is by eating over -rich food and that a small amount of pickles, mustard, vinegar, cay- enne and spices may be used with no harm- ful results. I know of a case where a per- son was greatly troubled with indigestion and af ter every meal he took from one-fourth to one-lialf teaspoonful of cayenne pepper in water. He followed this practice for years with goat results. 1 am quite sure that cayenne pepper can be taken often with beneficial results. Bnower BREAD AND BAKED Buds. --My rule for brown bread is one pint of luke- warm water, one-fourth cup of sour milk, two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one-half tea- spoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of soda, dip in two large tablespoonfuls of rye meal and one of Indian meal and stir, using the rye and Indian in that proportion ; make it much thicker than griddle cake batter. If the meal is coarse it will not need to be so thick as the meal will swell. J3ake in an iron dish if possible. A bread tin made with slightly slanting sides 12 inches long by 4 inches wide and 6 inches thick is in good proportionsfor brown bread as it slices off so much- better if the loaf is narrow. Have the oven quite warm and let it increase in heat a little until the bread is done. think L.D'a " baked beans must be very unhealthful ; one pound of pork to one pint of beans is too much meat for the quan- tity of beans; they would be filled with grease. I pick over and wash my beans thoroughly and to one quart of beans add soda the size of a small pea or less. Boil till the skins are tender, pour them in a col- ander and rinse, put them brck in the ket- tle, put in one pound of nice fat salt pork,. two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one tea- spoonful of salt. Score the rind of the pork and boil all till the beans are quite eat, then set them in a moderately hot oven and bake three or four hours. Pour in hot water en- ough to keep it up to the rind until thelast hour when the beans may dry off. Brown bread baked with beans is better as the steam keeps the bread from drying up With a hard crust.

Itad this Dog only Instinct? A gentleman in Connecticuttook not long ago a collie from the Lothian Kennels at Stephey. The dog, after the fashion -of his kind, soon made himself one of the family, and assumed special reeponsibilities in con- nection with the youngest ceild, a girl three years of age. It haepened one day in November that the father was returning from a drive, and, as he neared his house, he noticed the dog in a pasture which was separated by a stone wall from the road. From behind this wall the collie would spring up, bark, and then jump down again, constantly repeating it. Leaving his horse and going to the spot, he found his little girl seated on a stone, with the collie wag- ging his Mil and keeping guard beside her. In the light snow their path could be plain- ly seen : and, as he traced it back, he saw where the little one had walked several times around an open well in the pasture. Very close to the brink were the. prints of the baby shoes, but still closer on the edge of the well were the tracks of the collie, who had evidently kept between her and the vvell. I need not tell youlhe feelings of the father as he saw the fidelity of the dumb creature, walking between the, child and what might otherwise have been a terrible death.—[Our Dumb Animals.

The gentlemaa read them and said: "These are satisfactory. I know ono of these writers very well indeed." After a little more talk the boy was en- gaged at fair wages, and was asked to be- gan his labor the next morning, to his great delight and also to his surprise. "Thank you, sir, I'm so glad, for I didn't much think I'd get the place." " Why not? Had you tried so many ?" "Oh, no, sir; but a boy just came out of here saying it was of no use, und he was larger and strohger than I." That had nothing to do with his rejeo. tion.

So you see he earned his dismissal, and yon your accep- tance ; and if you enter other offices as po- litely as you did ours you will be a credit to us as well as yourself." The Story of a Postage Stamp. Some four years ago, among thelettersre- ceived by the Ex-Ameer of Cabul at Mus- soorie was one addressed to "His Majesty, King of Afghanistan," which ran nearly as follows: "Your Majesty—I am a little German boy, and am making a collection of stamps. I wish very much to procure some stamps of Your Majesty's kingdom, and shall be very much obliged if Your Majesty 'would send me some." The letter was made over to the English political officer in charge of the Ameer, who goodnaturedly answerer' the letter, eielosing a small col- lection of Ca.burstamps. In duo course came a replyafrom the little German boy: "Kind English Officer—the stamps which you so kindly sent me have arrived, and are valued by me m nty collection. I show- ed them and your letter to a distinguished German officen who is now staying at my father's house, and he is so pleased with the kindness of an English officer to a little German boy that I asked him to give me his photograph to send to you, which he has done, and I hope you will accept it." The letter contained a photograph, with the autograph. Von Moltke,Field Marshal." The little German boy was the son of a well- known manufacturer who had been most liberal in providing benevolent institu- tions tor workmen in Germany and who was the Field Marshall's host daring the manceuvres in the neighborhood of his pro- perty. Winter Legends Told to Ohildren m Northern Russia, Little Russians are a jolly, warmblooded race, and cold weather has few terrors for them. Clothed as they are in sheepskin frocks reaching below the knees, with a high, loose, fur collar coming well up about the ears, and fur daps and mittens, to say nothing of warm, home-made shoes of calf- skin with the hair turned inside—I doubt if in Canada they dress as comfortably. Do you wonder that they are right glad when old Daddy Winter lets his white geese fly ?" They have famous sliding upon their' bills, too although to look at the heavy, clumsy sleds one wonders how they can enjoy the sport—as undoubtedly they do to see the rosy cheeks and sparkling eyee of the chiedren tramping home from an af- ternoon on the hillside. Stout trencher- men they are and marvelous the amount they consume of broken bread and kasha (buckwheat porridge mixed with butter) and cheese of goat's milk, ewith—some. times—beer, made of fermented cabbage; but this'is a luxury among the poor classes. Tea every one has, and the little folks, as well as their elders, drink it all day long. But the strangest custom they have is that of sleeping upon the top of the stove, usual- ly a huge porcelain affair, and sometimes the childreu creep into the oven if it chances to be empty and no baking going on. Tag. - toe in his Childhood, Boyhood, Youth," tolls tt very fenny story of himself and his little brothers—how they hated to be wash- ed, and hid in the oven to escape the old nurse. The oven heat and the darkness put them to sleep, and they came very near being burned to death, for the oven door, was almost closed and a servant had begun to build a fresh fine, , In the long, long Winter evenings the girls plait straw, while the boys braid bask; ets, and the old grandmi other n her chimney corner tells them stories of how Moscow, the holy city, was set fire to by the Russians themselves, rather than it ahead fall into the hands of the French emperor. Some- times she tells them old legends of the Tar- tar invasions, and the wild hordes who were beaten and driven back by Ivan Veliki, of terrible memory. Again, it may be the boys and girls beg to hear whit:, Petr the Great did in Holland and in Englaed and bow he came to build St. Petersburg. So the long evenings pass until the short hot Summer comes and they can live outdoors again. Favorite Virtues, It is certainly to be deplorecl that any- one should have a favorite vice, but it masr be thought a matter of entire congratulation that he should have a favorite virtue. Of course, we do not look for perfection, we ealanot expect that mayone will have thee entire aalance of oharaoter that gives to each excellence its exact proportion and be- tre,ye no preference for one above the other, save as its iinportence justifies it. Indeed, deficiencies are so numerous and so promi- nent that we are rejoiced when we see any virtue pronounced enough and prized enough to be esteemed a favorite. Neverthelesss, the use sometimes made a favorite virtue is by 110 recalls ma- c:elated to win for it front others the love and esteem in which it is held by its possessor, Sometimes it is made to duty for a host of shortcomings. How often do we hear it Said, " If I am nothing else I am sincere," or "Whatever faults I have 3. an not un- grateful," and so on through a host of char. acteristics, each of which is supposed to be so valuable in itself as to counterbalance many acknowledged. defects. Sometime, this favorite virtue, thus isolated, is straiued to so uunatural an extreme as to lose all its attractiveness. Sincerity, for example, is a sterling and noble quality, and one all too rare in the world; but, divorced from kind feeling and sympathy, it ofteu degenerates into mere bluntness and rudeness. He who makes it his boast is almost certian to use it in some way prejudicial to his neighbors. He will call attention to their faults or dis. advantages, or will express quite needlessly his disapproval or dislike, thus exciting un- pleasant or resentful feelings, and losing his influence over them. Often the favorite virtue is one of minor importance, and its prominence is made to sacrifice much that is more valuable than itself. Order is an ex- cellent thing ; it is an instrumental' comfort, pleasure and beauty; it saves time and naves ; favors dispatch ; Holds success. In the office and in the factory, in the city street and the country farm, Mout-door life and in the home its presence is invaluable. Yet, after all, it is but a means to an end— happiness. With some persons it seems to be an end in itself, to which all other things must be scarificed. Not content with being orderly themselves, and recommen diug it by example end suggestion to others, they in- sist upon it, in season and out of season ; they fret and scold at every slight deviation, thus producing distress and annoyance to all concerned. Is it worth the price? Far more admirable and effective is that sense of order which recognizes its use and its limits; which conforms itself to the comfort of others, overlooking many failures, quietly supplying their lack and abstaining from re- proach or censure. Forest Cities. The "forest of Paris or the "forest of London" would be regarded as a singular and contradictory expression, but, thanks to the modern fondness for seeing trees even in a °roweled city, the great cities of the world have come to contain more trees than many forests of very respectable dimen- sions. For instance, a census of the trees of the city of Paris reveals the fact that within the limits of the capital there are growing upward of one hundred and twenty thou- sand trees, and about three hundred thou- sand shrubs. Of the trees, about twenty thousand are in the parks, and the others are planted along the streets. If these trees were planted all together, in the fashion in which trees grow in the forest, and at an average of twenty feet apart, they would make a wood more than one thousand acres in extent. Many American cities are as lavishly pro- vided with trees as in Paris. In the United States, the city of Washington is remark- able for the great number and beauty of its trees. , a The planting of trees has undoubtedly exercised, on the whole, a favorable effect upon the health and upon the mstheCic sense of the people of our cities. Many other virtues spring up with the love of natural beauty which these trees develop. Communities which encourage tree -plant- ing do an excellent thing; but to plant trees which are sure to be unthrifty and unbeauti- ful in certain situations is not a good means to develop the sense of beauty and the love of nature, but rather the reverse. It is desirable, therefore, to plant with understanding, and to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of experts. It is a point of wisdom to ohmage trees for city planting which grow spontaneously in the neighborhood, or which have been prov- ed thrifty there. The Hurtfulness of Flattery. One of the greatest causes in the world of discontent and unhappiness with women is the fact that as a rule they have been brought up on compliments and flattery. It is an insult to ritirl in. society not to tell her that she or her gown is angelic. Such flatteryie begun in childhood and centime. ed in society, and when she reaches the stern arena of life it has become a part of her nature. If when she enters the marriage relation and assumes the duties of the house- hold or engages in social or church work she is ever in any way subjected to criticism, as will surely be the case it is an experience with which she is totally unfamiliar. If her husband and others with whom she is asso- ciated do not continue constantly to feed her on flattery, if they intimate for a mo- ment that in any of the affairs of life she is not seraphic, or that it is possible for her in any respect to be less than perfect, she is at once made miserable and life becomes to her a burden. To ordinary family and social training of a woman is a poor prepar- ation for her as candidate for the sterner duties of life. Society, which only says pleasant things, is largely responsible for this.
