Human Hnl.iefips.

No process is so fatal as that which
would cast men in one mold. Every
human being is intended TO have a
character of his own, to be what no
other is. TO do what no other can do.
Our common nature is TO be unfolded in
unbounded diversities. 1t is rich enough
for infinite manifestations. IL is TO wear
innumerable forms Of beauty and glory.
Every human being has work TO carry
on within, duties to perform ahead, in
fuenees to exert, which no conscience
but his own can teach. Let him not en-
slave his conscience to others, but act
with the freedom. strength. and dignity
of one whose highest law is in his own
breast.-H0me and Health.

Popping Corn.

There is no evening fireside luxury
much more enjoyable than dish of nice
popped corn. Almost every one likes it,
and all can have it, for in expense it
amounts to but a tribe. Now it is with
pop corn. as with very many other things
we have TO fix up for the palate. much
depends upon preparation. Try this
plan: Take a pepper sauce bottle. or one
like it, and ill it with water in which the
largest possible amount of salt has been
dissolved; then with this sprinkle the
corn briskly with spoon. The brine
should not be put on so plentifully as to
make the corn wet, for this will make
it tough. A small amount of salt water
will he absorbed instantly, imparting the
flavor evenly and perfectly all through.
Those who prefer sweet to salt. can
make great improvement over the Old
method of balling with molasses, by
taking loaf sugar and dissolving it with
just water enough to keep it from burn
lag; then, while the syrup is hot, put a
little at time upon the corn and stir rap
idly. The grains will not compact. but
each one be coated or crystallized. The
corn will not be sticky aud none of that
raw molasses flavor will be impaired.
As to the popping, it makes no odds
whether it is done in spider, kettle, or
patent pepper; but do not let the work
be done too rapidly. If heat expands
and bursts the kernels suddenly. the
corn is not cooked as well as under a
more moderate process.-Home and
Health.
