TELLING CHILDREN LIES.

| beautiful young mother sat by us during a
three hours ride in the cars, the other day
and in her arms she held what seems to us the
talrest ornament mother ever wears, her
beautiful baby. The little fellow was very no
ble-looking; somewhere near his second birth
day, we should fancy; sturdy and strong, with
great blue eyes like wood violets. cunning little
white teeth even as kernels of corn, and rosy
cheeks that kept dimpling into smiles. Natur.
ally the confinement of his position made him
restless. He grew tired of sitting still on his
mothers lap; the cakes and apples she rather
unwiseIy gave him lost their charm, and the
bright flowers he kept begging with the pretti.
est pleading from the stranger by his side, at
last grew wearisome. Baby wanted to take a
turn on the floor, and mamma was afraid to let
him. What do you think she did. gentle reader'
Why, she looked her little wide-aWake boy
straight in his innocent face and said, gravely
Harry, if you don't sit still I'll throw you
out OF the car window"
In the plainest manner possible she gave her
child lesson in lying. No earthly power
would have made her throw him out and moth
ing would have been strong enough to tear him
from her had danger menaced him; but she
wanted to keep him quiet. and SO she rushed
to the resort Of the weak-deception. If two
or three years hence Harry shall tell her lie.
she will be exceedingly shocked and panied,
and he will be punished and prayed for, and his
mother will grieve at his deficiency of moral
sense. quite oblivious Of the fact that as she
has sown she is beginning to reap.
The fact is that halt the babies are trained
to tell falsehoods before they are able to walk
and talk. The thousands of poor little unfOr-
tunates, who are dressed in muslin and lace
and given over to the care and companionship
of ignorant hireings. are SO practiced upon
and deceived and frightened. and, in short.
lied TO- that it is a wonder that after all most
of them grow up tolerably truthful. We think
it speaks well for that much maligned thing
human nature. But servants are not the only
nor the chief offenders. We charge mothers
and fathers with being very culpabe and wick
ed in their sins of commission in this regard
Il have never deceived my child" says Mrs.
Laura Love, who is reading this number be-
side her baby's crib. When you pretended,
dear lady the other day. that you were not go
ing out when you were and when you tiptOed
off with your bonnet hidden behind you lest
baby should cry to go. what were you doing
but deceiving him When you pretended that
the abominably tasting stuff you were about to
give him out of vial was good, smacking your
lips rs if you enjoyed it, what were you doing
but acting lie!
Children have very quick perception. Very
young children learn to see through the ways
that are dark and the tricks that are vain of
their foolish elder companions Still. as we
look into their soft eyes, we seem TO hear the
solemn words that fell from the tendcrest lips
that ever spoke to man: Take heed that ye
offend not one of these little ones. s."-HcdrM

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

RIPE BREAD.-Bread made out of wheat
-four, when taken out Of the oven, is unprepar
ed for the stomach. It should 60 through
change, or ripen before it is eaten. Young
persons, or persons in the enjoyment of vigor-
Gus health, may eat bread Immediately after
being baked without any sensible injury from
it; but weakly and aged persons cannot; and
none can eat such without doing harm to the
digestive organs. Bread, after being baked,
goes through II change similar to the change in
newly brewed beer, or newly churned butter
change. During the change in bread it sends
off large portion of carbon or unhealthy gas
and imbibes large portion Of oxygen or
healthy gas. Bread has, according to the COM
putation of physicians, One-fifth more nutri-
ment in it when ripe than when just out of the
oven. It not only has more nutriment, but i'm
parts much greater degree of cheerfulness.
He that eats old, ripe bread will have much
greater flow of animal spirits than he would
were he to eat unripe bread. Bread, as before
observed, discharges carbon and imbibes Oxy-
gen. One thing in connection with this thought
should be particularly noticed by all house.
wives. 1t is, to let the bread ripen where it
can inhale the oxygen in pure state. Bread
will always taste Of the air that surrounds 1t
while ripening; hence it should ripen where
the air is pure. It should never ripen in Gel
lar. nor in a close cupboard. nor in bedroom:
The noxious vapors Of cellar or cupboard
snoud never enter into and form part of the
bread we eat. Bread should be light, well
baked, and properly ripened before it should
be eaten. Bread that is several days old may
be renewed so as to have all the freshness and
lightness of new bread, by simply putting it
into common steamer over the fire, and
steamng it half or three-quarters of an hour.
The vessel under the steamer containing the
water should not be more than half FULL other
wise the water may boil up into the steamer,
and wet the bread After the bread is thus
steamed, it should be taken out of the steamer
and wrapped loosely in cloth, to dry and cool,
and remain so a short time, when it will be
ready to be cut and used 1t will then be like
cold new bread-American Farmer.

DENTISTRY IN .JApAN.-The Japanese are
very ignorant of medicine and surgery. Like
other people, they have many aches and pains;
and, as everybody knows, one of the most tor
turing is an aching tooth. In japan, like all
the rest of the world, there are persons who
now and then want tooth pulled out; and the
only japanese contrivances for this are wood
en- mallet and a stick. The professor Of dent
istry, instead of sitting in his office with stock
of mysterious and friehtful instruments, goes
travelling over the country, carrying box COW
cred with brass ornaments. and containing
some little mallets and wedges. When he
meets with person who wishes to part CON-
pany with an aching tooth, the wedges are
pressed in between the tooth and the gum, and
then forced down with the mallet. until, by
hammering and prying, the tooth is made so
loose that it can be pulled out with the fingers.
The poor patient suffers very much. Some
times pieces Of the jaw are broken away with
the teeth, and it is said the patient dies from
the wound.

INTERNAL MACHINE.-On the 26th of Nov
ceived an Internal machine, by u. S. mail
The machine consisted of a small wooden box
covered on the outside with glazed paper. In
the box was a drawer which was filled with
powder and ball, and bunch of lucfer match.
es so arranged that any attempt to force the
drawer ont, would bring the matches in con-
tact with strip of sand paper which was
tackled on the lid of the box above them, and
explode the machine The presence Of the
drawer, and the fact that the address on the
box was made up Of letters cut from news
paper, excited the suspicious of the Controller.
and thus thwarted the assassin's designs.

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES The Fruit
Recorder says: Sweet Potatoes are best kept
in very dry sand, and in room where the tenn
perature does not 60 below 40 degrees. We
usually take sand from bridges and roads in
dry spell and carry it to the rooms where we
keep the potatoes The potatoes we dig and
let lie in the sun day or 50, turning them over
once or twice. We then carefully put them in
boxes or baraels and take them to the store
room, where we put the sand in, knocking on
the barrels until sand settles all through them.
In damp weather keep fire in the room, and
as winter sets in keep slow fire going. just
sufficient to not let mercury fall below 50 or
60 degrees. Dahlias can be kept in the same
way, also any kind of bulbous roots.

GRIDDLE-CAKEs, WAFFLEs, ETC.-1f you
have not used your griddle or waffle-iron for
some time, wash it off hard with hot soap and
water; wipe and rub well with dry salt Heat
it and grease with bit of fat salt pork on q
fork. 1t is q mistake, besides being slovenly
and wasteful, to put on more grease than is
absolutely necessary to prevent the cake from
sticking. A piece Of pork an inch square
should last for several days. Put on great
spoonful of butter for each cake, and before
filling the griddle, test it with single cake, to
be sure that all is right with it as well as the
batter. The same rules apply to waffies. Al
ways lay hot cakes and waffles upon hot plate
as soon as baked. Hoods Household Mag.

TEA WORSE THAN WHISKY Matthew
Brown is one Of the patent right Refortners OF
the day. His pet abomination is not Rin-it is
tea. He thus talks to his English fellow coun-
trymen:
While wa have been turning our eyes upon
the more obvious and vulgar evils attendant
upon the free use Of alcohol. we have been
overlooking the insidious action of bland and
peaceful liquid which has been sapping the
foundations Of manhood and honesty. Alcohol
sends few to the Jail or mad-hOuse; but tea
acts through the nervous system upon, the con-
science and turns 10 into nation Of sneaks.

How TO IRON NLrNEN.-A Hearth and Home
correspondent says linen that is placed imme-
diately after being ironed near the stove or in
the hot sun, is stiffer when dry than if it is
permitted to dry slowly. 1t is good plan to
iay collars and small articles on waiter, and
set them on kettle or other support on the
stove, till they are quite dry. Sometimes the
iron will stick in manner quite unaccounta-
bile; if it is rubbed on a board on which fine
salt has been sprinkled, and then passed over
brown paper with wax in it's folds. the sticking
nropensities will be checked. A bowl of clear
water aud clean old linen cloth, are useful to
remove any specks the linen may acquire be-
fore or while being ironed.

ARREsr1NG DECAY IN PoTAToEs.-Various
plans for arresting decay in potatoes, after
digging, have from time to time been made
public, such as dusting with quick. lime, gyp-
sum, charcoal dust, etc. Prof. Church, Of Chi
chester, England, the eminent agricultural
chemist, announces that sulphate of lime ap-
pears to exercise very remarkable influence
in arresting the spread of decay in potatoes
affected by the potato disease. In one expert
ment the salt was busted over some tubers,
partially decayed from this cause as they were
being slowed away. Some months afterward
the potatoes were found to have suffered no
further injury. A similar trial with powdered
lime proved to be much less effective.-Rurdl
Ne,C Yorker.
