 6 Never scold or strikea COW tor running about the yard or kicking. It generally does more harm than good.
 z If she runs about, have patience-talk kindly to her-and lie her up, as last re- . ,rt. till she is nol afraid.
 S. If she kicks, si, forward far enough for your knee to cone forw rd of her leg, and she cannot easily hurt you or spill inc milk. g. lf she switches you with her tail, m ''tiy time" ias,en it by parting the hair and tying II round her leg. Use, string, Il her hair IS not long enough.

USEFUL RECIPES.

ALBuMEN--A CURE TOR DYsESTERY.- | The following IS translation of recipe for the cure of this complaint, which was published by the physicians of Spain i'll ihe Gazette of Nadrid dnIing lS40:
 1 Prepare draught of Albumen, by taking the whites Of 10 eggs or more, after whip ping them well, sweeten the same, if neces- sary, with a small portion ol the best double rehned sugar. Let the patient drink large ! quantities oi Ihis repeatedly, inasmuch as 10 1 fill the stomach. administering clysiers of the same as ofien as possible. The patient must maintain total abstinence from die, of any kind. In a few hours after, the pains will aba.e, and in 2l hours the disease will dis appear; if |, do not: il will be sure to disap- | pear ln IS hours, provided the patient repeat the draugh,s as usual" IThe addition of a few drops of orange flower water IS highly beneficial.
 CHANoMILE DEsTRCc TIVE TO iNsEcTs. -lt IS asserted Tn an article in the IriSh Gar deHer's .HagG=iRs, Ina, a decocliou Of the leaves of this plant will efIectually destroy insects; and that il likewise is much 10 the health of garden vegetables when growing in their vicinity. No greenhouse or hot- house, observes lhe writer, '.should ever be without chamomile, m green or dried state. Either the stalks or leaves will answer" li Is singular fact, known only to few, we believe, that when plant Is observed to be failing, without, perhaps, any obvious canse being apparent, Il may be suddenly resusc- lated, and brough, again to it's former vigor. simply by placing chamomiIe uear !.
 RECIPE FOR MAKING YEAsT-This is an indispensable commodity, and families often find no small difficulty in supplying lhem- | selyns with even ,olerahle article We. therefore, repubIish lhe following recipe for it's manufacture, hoping that, by so doing, we may oblige our readers. 1.-Two midding sized potatoes, and pm, of boiling water, and two table spoouGuls of brown sugar.

DON'T ScoLD.-A great deal of injury is

Many children have been nearly or quite
ruined by it; and often driven from home,
to become vagabonds and wanderers, by
scolding 1t sours your temper, provided it
is sweet, which is question; if you scold,
the more you have to scold, because you
have become crosser and your children
likewise. Scolding alienates the hearts of
your children. Depend upon it they can
not love you as well after you have berated
them, rs they did before. You may ap-
proach them with frmness and decision,
you may punish them with severity ade-
quate to their offences, and they will feel
the justice Of your conduct and love you
Notwithstanding But they hate scolding.

Origin cf Negro Slavery.

Mr.. Bancroft, in the first volume OF his
history of the Brited States.-sggi.eeE'- an ac-
count of the early traffic OF the Europeans
in slaves. In the middle ages, the Vene-
tians purchased white men and Christians,
and others, and sold them to the Safacens
in Italy and Spain. In England, the
Anglo-Saxon nobility, sold their servants to
foreigners. The Portuguese first imported
negro slaves from Western Afriea into
Europe in l442 Spain soon engaged IN
the traffic, and negro slaves abounded in
some places in the kingdom. After Ameri-
ca was discovered, the italians of lilspanlola
were imported into Spain and made slaves.
The Spaniards visited the coast OF N orth
America, and kidnapped thousands OF the
Indians whom they transported into slavery
in Europe and the West Indies.
Columbus himself enslaved 500 Naive
Americans, and sent them into Spain, that
they might be publicly sold at Seville
The practice of selling North American
Indians into foreign bondage continued Tor or
nearly two centuries. Negro slavery was
first introduced into this country by Span
ish Shareholders, who emigrated with their
negros. A royal edict Of Spain authorized
negro slavery in America in 1908. k'ng
Ferdinand himself sent from Seville 81
slaves to labor in the mines. In loll, the
direct traffic in slaves betwees Africa and
Hispaniola was enjoined by q royal ordi-
nance. Las Casas, who has seen the In
dians vanish away like dew before the
cruelties of the Spaniards, suggested the ex-
pedient that the negroes who alone can en-
dure severe tolls, might be still further
enploved. This was in 1918. The mis-
taken benevolence of Las Casas extended
the slave trade which had been previously
established.
Sir John Hawkins was the first English
man that engaged in the slave trade. II
1928 he transported large cargo OF Atrl
cans to Hspaniola. In 1867, another eS
; pedtion was prepared, and Queen Eliza
beth protected and shared in the traffic
