Of course it was necessary that the oat should be allowed to approach her offspring from time to time in order to feed them, The hen' had then to be forcibly removed and the door barred against her. No sooner was it open- ed than the ben would drive the oat out and resume her place as head of the household. At nighi she spread her wings over the little animals just as though they were ohickens, and certainly they seemed to like the oozy war/nth of their feathered quilt. SOMETECiNG ABOUT GAMES. Our boys, who are just now so hip- py int their games- of baseball, foot ball, gaff, tennis and erieltet, etc., may be glad to read something of how the boys and: men on long ago amused themselves. The boys of Greens were fond of all athletio sports and took part in' the most splendid of all the Greek games —the Olympic ganaes—whieh were oelebrated every five years, in honor of Zeus, the father, of the, Gods. Women were forbidden to be pre sent at these games, which .usually lasted five days, All who took part in these games were obliged to 'undergo preparatory training for ten months at the gym- nasium before, they could parttomate in the games. The first day .tves spent in offer- ing sacrifices. The second was set apart for the boys who competed with each other fin foot racing, wrestling boxing and horse mating. T,he third and principal day was devoted to the contests of men in foot -racing, wrestl- ing and raol,ng in heavy armor. On the fourth day there wast leap- ing, running, throwing and wrestl- ing ancl chariot and horse racing. The fifth day was set apart forpre• cessions, saceifices, and banquets to the lectors, who were always crowned with a garland of Wild olive, cut from a sacred tree. After the games, the victors were great throes, were feted upon their return home, had statues erected to them and were exempt from taxes. LEARN TO COOK, GIRLS. Good housekeeping has far more to do with domestic happiness than young lovers dream of. We believe that these times need women whose most beautiful work will be done in- side their own doors. Without good housekeeping the romance will aeon go out of marriage. Of course, the men who prizes woman chiefly because she "Iookoth well to the ways of her house- hold" does not deserve to have a good Wife. He should merely employ a housekeeper and pay her good Wages. , But there are sooial, moral and s.piri- teal uses proceeding from the wise - regulation of the household which bestow a dignity on what would other- wise be trifling. No matter what a girl's accomplishment may be, her eduoation is incomplete if she bas no a knowledge of bakeology, boilogy, roaetoro ey, atitchology, and mend. ology. Even If a girl sbould never be required to do the -work herself she ought to know whether it is done in a proper manner. wee Clod, why flee into Egypt? 'Why 1 nut stand his ground'?

For human consumption no artege can be friend more delicious, than honey, and none more beneficial to heatt b. There are three classes of honey -- honey in the comb, honey extracited from the comb, and strained honey. Honey made by the bees In small see - tweet boxes eompriaes the first elan. Haney extracted from the oomb is the pure liquid, without the comb, and is sold cheaper than tn the comb bemuse; the comb is 'of more value then the laaney. It takes 20 pounds of honey to make one pound of comb, 'Strained 'honey to (lie result of mashing up combs and .eatolitng that will pass through a cloth. Thus it is inferior to pure extracted hon- ey. The mashing of the comb and straining give it a cloudy appearance and destroy the flavor. The following the efeW of the many good things that may be made with honey as an ingredient: Honey Fruit-Calre.--Four eggs, five cupfuls of flour, two cupfuls of honey, one cupful of butter, one cupful of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one teaspoonful of soda, one pound of .ralsins, one pound of our - rants, hell a pound of citron; one tea- spoonful each of Moshe, cannel:non and nutmeg. Bake in a slow oven, This cake will keep a long time. Honey, Cookies.—One quart of honey mixed with malt a emend of white sugar. half apound of butter and the juice of two lemons. Stir this mix- ture very hard, then mix in gradual- ly flour enough to make a stiff paste Cut into round cakes and bake in buttered pans. Honey Ginger -Snaps. --,One pint of honey, three-quarters of a pound of butter, two teaspoonfuls of ginger. Boil together foe a few minutesand when nearly cold slit in flour until it. is stiff enough to roll. Cut in smell cakes and bake quiekly. Honey Sponge-Cake—One oupful of honey, one cupful of flour, five eggs. Beat the yelks and honey together; beat the whites to a froth; mix all to- gether, stirring es little as possible; flavor with lemon and bake quickly. Honey Tea-Cake—One cupful of honey, Miff a Cupful of sour cream, two eggs, halt a cupful butter, two eu‘pfuts of flour, scant halt teaspoon- ful of soda, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Flavor to taste, Haney Popcorn Halls.—One ignt of honey. Put in a frying -pan and boil until very thick, then stir in freshly. parched coon, and mold into bat's' nearly cold. - 4 atyliels Eton sub.—This natty suit its represented in tan whipcord.

Raspberry Shrub,—Take two quarts of raspberries and add to them one pint of eider vinegar; !art them re- melt in the vinegar 24 hours, using an earthen vessel, after whioh mash and strain. For each pint of jume add one pound of sugar; boil twenty Min- utes, akira, and bottle when cold. Very useful in many kinels of mkt:less. To Pickle Peachee—For' seven pounds of fruit take three and a half pomade of sugar and one pint of good vinegar; .add half an canoe each of cloves and cinnamon tied up in a cloth, and when boiing hot, add a few of the peaches at a time until they COM be ensile maimed with a fork; re- move there as fast es cooked, being careful that they do not overcook; place them in a jar, boil down the syrup until it will juet cover the peaches, then cover secerely, and they will keep without trouble, and are simply delicious.

TELEPHOTOORAPHY 111 WARPARE. AHOMOW. New DAYNO fur Ot00001118101110R4W3 worn—esnes Where et Walt He Meru'. Wireless telegraphy, the hallograPti and the balloon find 000 more im- portant military applieetion in reoon- noiseanise work, With thole aide and acoeseoriea it would appear that there is to -day very little mentee for • leader of troops not knowing the posi- tion of the enemy, or the configure, tion of the ground on a PresPecane battlefield, at has beep the ease so often in South Africa. ' Scienoe and invention together, however, have added still another aid, one that Promises to be of immense venue namely, the' telephone lens. Telephotography is the art of tak- ing, by a special and variable long focus telescopic lens, optioally ad - jested to the lens of a good photo- graphic) camera, photographs of ob- jects a long distance off as if the operator were comparatively close Lii them. • Consequently, an object five or ten ranee away, which, by ordinary photography would cover on the pho- tograph a apace an inch square, oan be made to cover, by telephotography, a space eixteen, thirty-two or sixty- four inches square, depending on the magnifying power of the lens and the size of the camera used. The advant- age of this is tipparent, for a telephoe tograph of AN ENEMY'S POSITION gives a commanding °Meer a bird's eye view of the ground, of the enemy's' forces and their positions, of MS horn- ohes and gun emplacements, all me- ourately drawn to scale and on a sheet of tt, size convenient for study and reference. The range of such a lens is practically unlimited, and use- ful photographs are readily obtained at distances beyond gun range, more- over, balloons can be utilized fax ob- taining views from above the au - face of the earth. The telephoto -lens was invented about ten years ago, and placed on the market by Dallmeyer in England, Dtzbaseq in France atid Meithe in Ger- many. Experiments with light in- struments were made by the Intelli- gence Department in England ae early as 189:3, but the 4/natio omit - tions andthe fact that the telephoto camera was then in its infancy, and consequently very defective, mused It to be condemned b5;. the War Office at the tirae. Experiments were con- tinued, however, and improvements gradually increased its praotioal use, In the Chino -Japanese war of 1894 it was used for the first time in actual we.refare, and one of the Japanese of - Mors obtained some excellent tele- photographs of the naval battle off the Yalu River. One of these, of the large Chinese man-of-war Tie -yen, taken at a distance of over two miles, presents a fine view of the effaces of the projectiles. Good telephotographere have beeu obtained at a distance or OVER FORTY MILES, and those taken beyond artillery range, ten miles, are on a suffieient- ly targe seals to be of praotioal use. The uses to vehicle the valuable ad- junot could be put are various. The navy, for example, Gould use it to obtain photographs of foreign mast defences from beyond the three-mile limit. The land array, by taking e series of photographs of the enemy's line at different 1.1.IneS, during an at- tack of a siego, would find this a val- uable means, not only for locating his poen:ion, but also of discovering fresb entrenchments that may have been tbrown up during the night. The British War Offioe Is said to have sent but one small telephoto camera to South Africa, and this 0120 IS attached to a bicyole. Of course, this instrument can give no useful results, Large cameras and power - rut lenses should be used, either on commanding pante or in balloons. Had such a series et photographs been ta,ken, on the Tugela or on the Mul- der River, of all the Boer positions, and copies distributed to the com- manders, the coefusion of orders, mis- direction of advance, misunderstand- ing of the topography and position of trenches, so .00naaton in this cam- paign, would have been avoided, at least to a great extent.
