Some one has written beautifully to the
boys in the following manner. Here is a
whole sermon in few sentences: "Of all
the love affairs in the world none can sur
pass the true love of big boy for his
mother. 1t is pure and noble, honorable
in the highest degree to both. L do not
mean merely dutiful affection. [ mean
a love which makes boy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saying to every
body plainly that he is fairly in love with
her. Next to the love of her husband,
nothing so crowns woman's life with
honor as this second love, this devotion of
a son to her. And never yet knew boy
turn out bid who began by falling in
love with his mother. Any man may fall
in love with fresh-faced girl, and the
man who is gallant with the girl may cru
ely neglect the worn and weary wife.
But the boy who is lover to his mother
in her middle age is true knight, who
will love his wife as much in the sere-
leaved autumn as he did in the daisied
spring time"

MOLD ON PREsERvEs.-Miss Lydia
Becker gave valuable hint during a re-
cent discussion of the British Association
upon the "Germ Theory" in which she
showed its bearing upon the making of
the preserves, land from keeping mold from
settling OH the jam. According to the old
practice of leaving the pots uncovered for
several days, time was allowed for the
germs in the atmosphere to descend and
settle Oh the jam, which was a capital soil,
and the result was plentiful crop of mold.
She therefore advised the ladies in the
section, when making preserves, to cover
up the pots while the sweet-meats were in
heated condition.

then evaporate nearly all the water by a
gentle heat, dissolve the residue in little
proof spirits of wine, and strain the whole
