Many a mother who wishes her daughters might become proficient in the art of cook- ing. is not willing to take the time and trouble to teach them. Said one mother to her daughter who had asked to be allowed to make a. certain dish, “ Oh, I would rather do it myself. I can do it in half the time and you make so much fussand muss.” While this is true, is it not the mother’s duty to take time to teach her child to cook and how to do it as quickly and with as litzle fuss and muss as the mother herself? Another mother gave her daughters the run of the kitchen and the necessary materials and left them to learn to cock as best they could without her aid‘ Of course they might in time turn out cooks, but at how great an expense, lost time and waste of materials Many mothers when questioned as to the making of certain dishes, 3 cake for instance, reply in this way, “ Oh, I don’t know just how I do make it, I never measure, you must just use yourjudgment,” or, “ I take a little milk, a few eggs, some flour, etc.” The wise mother will teach her daughter to cook, And to beas accurate and exact about her cooking as any other department of housekeeping, thus when she comes mpreside over a home of her own, she will be saved the mortificatiou of many failures and much waste of good materials. Table Talk. Plates for hot. courses should always be heated. One baby who very nearly succumbed to bmin disease was taught, the catechism ere his second year. It, sounded cunning to hear him lisp, “Absoum.” in reply to who was the father ofthe fruitful, or “Ut’e ife,” when asked who was turned into a pillar of salt. Of course the family physician soon stopped this needless cramming, giving imperative orders that nothing should be caught the child. Paper clipped ‘fine is recommended, as well as pine needles. There are other ways, however, of injuring baby‘s brain ah, how much they must work ere they arrive at, maturity ! It is claimed that, the brain is more heavily taxed the first five years of existence than during the remainder of life. One summer day on lifting my baby from his cradle after a protracted nap I found his little head wet with profuse per- spiration, moreover his small pillowâ€"- feathers, of courseâ€" was soaked through, says a mother in an exchange. This led to an investigation, forI felt that such heat bodsd ill to the sensitive brain. Looking into the matter I discovered the following advice given by an eminent physician, long since deceased. He wrote: “The proxi mate, if not the original, cause of great morality.amcng the American bahies is some malady of the brain. When we sup- pose death to result from dysentery or cholera infantnm the immediate cause is frequently affection of the brain superven- ing upon bowel disease. The heads of American babies are. for the most part, libtle furnaces. What mischief must then result from keeping them buried hour after hour in feather pillows ! It makes me shiver to think of the deaths among these precious little ones,where I doubt not that cool straw pilliiws would have saved them. Do not fail to keep their heads cool while sleeping.” The Eaterialwhich I then deemed bestfor baby’s piliowâ€"Jor straw seemed rather hard â€"wa.e deer’s hair. One woman employed hair combinga, which makes a soft cushion. The correct way for sarving bread aside THE HOME. Teach the Girls to Cook Baby‘s Pillow. A provincial farmer living near Anet, France,hnsdecided to increase his income by cultivating snails. He has at present 180,000 of the interesting and shiny creatures pen~ ned up in a wateproof shed. and where they are being fattened for the Paris market. They eat as much green fodder per day as ,two cows would consume. and their pet dainty is v cabbage leaves, which imparts to their flesh the delicate pea-green- tinge so admired by epicures. Whether this farmer is going to add largely to his income by this new departure, remains to be seen, but a certainclass of French pen- ; ple do greatly esteem snails. Snail pie is ‘ considered excellent, but some people pre- fer them simply bailed, and extract them from the shell with a little silver implement resembling a. nut pi( k onlv somewhat larger An inquismve man is a (:xeamre nafural- A'y very vacant of thought itself, nnd,xhere- xore, forced to apply to {O‘eign assistance. A Buflalo despatch says: A ghastly discovery has been made in Forest Lawn, the Cemetery most commonly used by the Protestants of this city for the burialof their dead. In a clump of underbrush were found the remnants of seven cofiins and one complete casket, almost new. There are also fragments of rough boxes and grave boards. The newest casket had evidently been dug up recently, rifled of its contents and then hidden in the bush. The ghoulish rascals who have been at this work may have carried it on for a long time, as the number of coi‘lins would indicate. Every mark of identification had been removed from the caskets with cunning care. What graves have been disturbed cannot be told without long and patient search. It is thought that the bodysnatchers operated regularly after interments, as the discovery was first made by a young woman,nnd when she conducted an investigating party to the spot another casket was found besides those she first counted.

So long as there remained poor people in London Eng., Without roofs over their heads, Cardinal Manning said that he would build no cathedral in the metropolis. A different spirit animates his successor, and a movement to erecta great munster has gone so far that designs have been adopted and financial plans published. The corner- stone is to he laid June '25), next year. St. Peter and Sts Paul day, and the structure, which is to be dedicated to St. Peter, will be a basilica. on the general lines of Con- stantine’s Church of St. Peter, at Rome. The interior is to be 350 feet long, 170 feet wide, 100 feet high, and to seat 8,000, with standing room for 2,000 more. Annexed will‘be a lecture-room, seating 2,000, and a monastery for 75 inmates, which it is de- signed to invite the Benedictines, who for centuries owned \Vestminster abbey, to occupy. The cost is estimated at $1,250,- 000, and nearly half is already subscribed, the Duke of Norfolk giving $100,000. It is provided that all persons giving $5,000 or more shall have their names inscribed on the cathedral, and special reliance 15 placed on America as a source of subscrip- tions, just, why has not been explained.

A man should always be careful about those little insignificant wounds, A great many lives are lost every year on this account. Asmall cut in the hand, made by a rusty nail, may cost a life. Blood-pois- oning may set in. A man may be drlv- ing tacks, and drive one accidentally into his hand. It is such a trivml cut that anything is thought good enough to stop the bleeding. Then the wound is left to take care of itself the best it may. It apparently heals, Perhaps the hand may be one that is often mixing poisons. Acute septicaemia may set in. with fatal term- ination. Once this dangerous thing com- mences its work, a. surgeon is of little use, and the man who thought nothing of the ‘scralch from a tack,’ dies. Always take care of these little wounds. Wash them well, and then they will heal the right way. Cold water or hot water. if it be pure, is one of the best. healers in the world. Any doctor who knows his business will tell you this. A ripe, raw apple is one of the easiest foods for the stomach to deal with, the whole process of digestion only consuming eighty-five minutes. The malic acid of ripe apples, cooked or raw. helps to digest meat and to stimulate the liver and neutral- ize those noxious matters which, unless eliminated, produce skin eruptions. Apples are not as satisfying as potatoes, because of their delicate elements, but eaten with meatin place of tubers they are a golden food. The salts and wine sweeten the stomach. the phosphorus is thought to be a nerve builder, and women of all ages, since Eve’s days, liked to believe that, the “food of the gods" imparted its delicate white to the flesh. \Vhy not?

There is a point worthy of remembrance about the hair (writes Dr. Andrew Wilson), and that is, the caution which should be given against frequent wetting of the head. Many a man has induced baldness in this way. People will wet the head, for instance in taking their morning bath, under the idea that this process is good for the hair. The reverse is the case. It is not a. natural thing for the hair to be kept in a perenni- ally damp state; and it is impossible that the hair can be thoroughly dried after the bath. Let us also hear in mind that Nature provides for the skin. and for the hair also, a kind of natural promade in the ishape of an oily secretion, which is made by certain little glands. Many of these glands open on the surface of the skin, but others open into the hair-sacs, and the office of the natural oil these glands manu. facture is to keep the skin supple, and doubtless also to supply nourishment, or at least an oily secretion to the hair. An old soldier once said, “\Vherever there is hair there is dirt.” This is, in the main, very true. So that while we may object to a constant wetting of the head, that is no reason why we sh ould neglect to wash the hairâ€"say, once a fortnight or every ten days. A good plan is to use the yolk of an egg, which is to be rubbed well into the scalp, and some pure soap and tepid water used to cleanse the yolk away, finish- ing up with cold water. I think borax and amironia lotions, often used to wash the hair, act somewhat harshly, and tend to produce greyness. There is really no need to use anything save soap and water, and a superfatted soap is to be preferred of course. Keeping the Mouth Clean. Keeping the mouth clean from infancy until the termination of life‘s journey should be a habit so firmly fixed by con- stant practicein infancy and childhood that it will not be likely to be neglected in after life. In the air around are floating the germs of various diseases,â€"eonsumption. pneumonia, malaria, diphtheria, thrush, tonsilitis, and the like. If the mouth is healthy and its secretions normal, these disease germs are destroyed there, and thus they are prevented from entering the deep- er tissues of the body. But swollen, sod. den gums, decaying teeth, tartar, and mor- bid catarrhal discharges, all form so many centres for germ culture and avenues for the entrance of morbid matter into th tissues. The enlarged scrofulous glands of so many children and youth, resulting in unsightly scars and disfigurement, are usually caused by tuberculous germs which enter the lymphatic glands of the neck from enlarged tonsils, decayed teeth, or suppu- rating ears. In thrush, the baby‘s mouth is filled with tiny plants resembling yeast ferment. 'I‘he borax wash displaces. cleansss, and des- troys these minute plants, and thus cures the disease. Cavities, even in the first teeth, should be filled as soon as discovered. Toothbrush and powder should be used freely and frequently, and the mouth rinsâ€" ed out with pure water. Enlarged tonsils should be treated or removed. Abscesses of the ear should be treated by cleanliness and disinfection, so as to heal them as soon as possible. Consulting the dentist early may save A set of teeth, the glands of the neck, and even life itself; for when tuber- cular germs have once gained entrance into the body, there is scarcely a limit to their devastation.

Buls Ileynmnd’a l-lxperlmenlflâ€" l'he Exploslw Eflect ofllre Present [Day Mls' sllc. Prof. Bois Reymond, of Berlin, the cele- brated physiologist, has been making ex- periments as to the effect of modern German rifle bullets on the human body, with sur- prising results. He says .â€"“The bullet of the old-style rifle bored only a comparative- ly small hole through the portions of the body through which it passed, whereas the new bullet has an astonishing explosive effect. If, for instance, the ball passes through the head ofthe corpse, the skull is burst asunder in all directions, and verv little of the head remains." The professor explains by saying that the speed of the bullet is so great that when it meets an obstacle it dashes it to pieces, exactly the some as drops of hardened glass burst asun- der when the points are broken off. A Restless Emperor. Kaiser Wilhelm has not. kept still during the past year. A calculation has lately been made showing where he spent his time since Aug. 15,1893. He was in Berlin or Potsdam 166 days, travelling the other 199. He gave twenty-seven days to manu‘uvres and reviews in twelve difl'erenL places, from Kie laud Salzwedel to Stutt- gart, Strassburg, and Neil; he went for state ceremonies to Schwerin.to Bremen. Not a day passes that. a dozen or more anonymous hints of all manner of Anarchist plots are not sent to the police and the Home Ofi‘ice. The police believe that some of these threats are genuine, but they are sent in such numbers that even the augmented resources of the secret service are utterly unable to deal with them. It is a. shrewd move on the part of the wretches who are really plotting murder and outrage. QUICKLY QUESTIONED by a detective. The necessity for this espionage is extremely galling to the Presi- dent, but he is Wise enough to recognize the genuine danger. He assumes at least a semblance of security by appearing occasionally in publi:.hut always on expect- ed occasions, such as a. drive to the railroad station in an open carriage. Persons who assume to know what the French Anarchists are doing say they will seek to establish a. reign of terror in Paris in October. The police are convinced that mischief more serious than any yet. attempted is brewing. The facts that these fears are so definite is the best assurance that they may not be realized, for the expected seldom happens in France,especially in such matters. There are no apprehensions among the public. The Anarchistalarm would have quite died down save for the fact that there is a grow- ing restlessness among, the Paris lower classes, due perhaps to the periodical de- mand of the French nature for excrtemeut. It has been an unusually quiet summer in the French capitaL If a hint of their actual plans by any accident reaches the police, they are unahle to give it any more attention than if it were one of the mass of false clues which they receive. The officers of the Home Department, the surety for the general safety, are at their Wits’ end. They do not know how to cope With’ the situation. The plans which have been adopted for the protection of the life of President CasimihPeriernre more elaborate than any ever employed under the Empire. When the President left Paris on Thursday for his country residence the train included two second-elus carriagescontainingthirty- five detectives. Al corps of seventy of these oflicers are employed on the estate when the President is in residence. They assume the character of laborers, garden- ers, fishmongers, and hawkers in the neighbourhood of the chateau. \Vhen the President goes to Paris they disappear. Any stranger who loiters within a block of the Elysee is as you eat. At any rate, you should al ways have a cold bath morning and even ing. Keeping: um Home Im‘we In a Stare or Alarmâ€"An Avengiug Blow Exam-lullâ€" Exlraordlnnry Measures for [he I'resi- (Inn's Surety. A late Paris despstch sayszâ€"It must be admitted that the extraordinary measures adopted for the suppression of Anarchy in France have served thus far to make its mad vomries more defiant and threatening than ever. The revengeful blow which has followed every execution of an Anarchist murderer, has not yet been struck in mem- ory of Carnot’s assassin. but the authori- ties are in momentary expectation and dread of it. In fact, the Government is almost in apanic over the danger. This is due to an apparently systematic plot among the Anarchists to drive all who are responsible for the public safety to terror and distrac tion. It is literally true that a large por- tion of the daily mail of the President of the Republic and other prominent oflipials consists of to Dresden, to Coburgâ€"for the funeral 01 Duke Ernest, and again for the wedding 0! the Grand Duke of Hesse; he has hunted in Hungary, Sweden, Wurbemberg, Upper Silesia. and Baden :his trip to Abbazia, in- cluding his stayinPola, Venice, and Vienna, took three weeks; and he has gone to the North Fjord and to England. Altogether the Emperor travelled by land and water 18,750 miles in one year. Husbandâ€"That fence wants painting badly. I think I’ll do n, myself.
