HOUSEHOLD.
If Mother Would Listen.
Xf mother -would listen to me, dears,
She would freshen that faded. gown,
She would sometimes take an hour's rest
-end sometimes a trip to town.
Aud it shouldn't be all for the children,
Thu fun, and the cheer, and the play;
With the patient droop on the tired mouth,
And tee " Mother has had her day!"
rue, mother has had her day, dears,
MUNI you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and the house,
ete busy as ever a bee,
When she rocked yoa all to sleep, dears,
And sent you all to school,
And worehereelf out, itnd did without.
And lived. with the Golden Rule.
And so, your turn LAS Male, dears,
Her hair is growing white
And her eyes are gaining the far -away look
That peers be) end the night,
One of these days in the morning,
Ilother will not be here,
Sim will fade away into stience ;
The mother so trse and dear.
Then, what will you do in the daylight,
And, what in the gloaming dim
And father. tired and lonesome then,
Pray what will you do for him ?
If you want to keep your mother,
YOU, must make her rest to day
Must give her a share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And, if mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy a gown of silk.
With buttons of royal velvet,
And ruffles ao white as Milk.,
And she'd let you do the trotting,
While she sat still in her elutir;
That mother should have it hard all through,
It strikes me isn't fair.

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

Hygienic Pies and Bread—Some Nutri-
tious Pies and Stews.
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 Bnex STEw.—Ile is something we al-
ways like. Take a good beef bone and boil
until tender. Have some besns well par-
boiled, ard to five pounds of beef take two
quarts of beans, and salt and. pepper to
taste, and put in enough potatoes for din-
ner. Thicken with three tablespoonfuls of
indian meal. My mother used to make
dumplings of meal and boil, then eat with

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.

"Yes? Well, we do want a boy; we've

seemed to just suit. Are you at work any-
where now and want to make a change?"
"Oh, no, sir. I've always been to school
but now pa's dead, and so—and so—"
"Yes, I see; you are going to take his

attention and trustiness. Have you refer-
ences?
The boy produced two, one from his day -
school teacher and the other from his Sun-
day.school teacher.
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.

he was refused ? He came in and slammed
the door, stood with his hat on his head and
hands in his pockets, and talked loudly and
slangily; and. as part of the work we want

ners would not do at all. So you see he
earned his dismissal, and yon your accep-
tance ; and if you enter other offices as po-

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, ,

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

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. Everywhere there should be frankness,
and girls she ald be brought up in an atmos-
phere °fleets not of fancies, ancl they will
become happier and more useful women.
