There's a great deal of talk about
SOCIAL POSITION,


Character is thing to be won step by step
"a thing that is to be dug out. II is
not sold or willed, but must be
manufactured by yourself. The first
question a mother should ask when Jenny's
first beau comes is not "what is his social pGsi-
tion?" but "what is his character?' .sHas
he Integrity, industry, economy" One of
the wealthieSt men in Nashville remarked
a few days ago, 81 wish had not a dollar
to my name until my daughter was mar
ried,' and his remark was a very sensible
one.
Position is very temporary thing. In
selecting husband or wife, young PEOPLE
should shut their eyes against position.
wealth, social status-against everything
but character, love, integrity, industry.
economy, energy, kindness, beneyolence.
generosity, and you will love
long, you will love wisely.
and you will love well The
lines of affection grow stronger with wears.
when that affection is based upon these in
separable qualities. 1t is pleasant to sit
down and hear the old lady tell of the vir-
tues of her departed husband. A Lock of
his hair is worth more to her than ali the
wealth of the world.

Buckwheat Cakes.

The buckwheat pancake is an
article largely used; but, as com
monty prepared, it is not fit to
serve up at any table. 1t is hea-
Wy and distressing to the ston-
ach. Though the batter may be
light, yet when it gets on the
griddle it is apt to fall, and be-
come the heavy, indigestable
thing we find it. Not unfrequent-
ly we find it sour. Now all this
can be obviated, and a light, pal
atable cake made with a little
care, by the addition of Graham
flour mixed with the buckwheat
the proportion of Graham being
a little over quarter. Mix the
flour to keep on hand ready for
baking. When wanted to be us
ed, bring to a batter with butter
milk. Other sour milk will do ;
it must be milk from the churn ;
and it wants to quite sour. Raise
with soda, and bake at once. The
first baking will in general not
be satisfactory it will lack light
ness. Still it will be better than
the usual pancake. Now leave
what batter remains in a warm
room. This will somewhat raise
it !; and the cake, the next morn
ing, will be improved. Another
twenty-four hours exposure to
the warmth, say, of seventy to
eighty degrees, and there is still
further improvement. After that
there will be little difficulty.

How Soil was Made.

Lrof. Agassiz said that all the
materials on which agricultural
progress depends are decompos-
ed rocks, and not so much those
that underlie the sol, but those on
the surfaces land ground to powder
by the glaciers. Ice all over the
continent is the agent that has
ground out more soil than all
other agencies put together. The
penetration of water into the
rocks, forests, running water and
baking suns have done some
thing, but the glaciers more. In
a former age the United States
was covered with ice several thous
and feet thick and the ice NOV
ing from north to south by the
attraction of the tropical warmth
or pressing weight of the snow
and ice behind, ground the rocks
over which was called sell. These
masses of ice can be tracked by
the hunter. He has made stu
dy of them in the country as far
south as Alabama, but has observ-
ed the same phenomenon in Eu-
rope, particularly in Italy, where
among the Alps glaciers are..now
in progress. The stones and
rocks ground and polished by the
glaciers can easily be distin-
guished from those scratched by
running water. The angular
boulders found in meadows and
the terraces of rivers not reach
ed by water can be accounted for
only in this way.

Pruning Fruit Trees.

The Kansas State Horticultsr-
al Society has been discussing
pruning, and it is asserted that
the best success was from low
headed trees little pruned; in
fact, this is said to be proved by
the very lowest orchards. MIR.
Grubb, of Brown county, who
has a large orchard, seventeen
years old, is decidedly in favor
of every low-headed trees, and
he prunes none except with
thumb and finger; and the best
lesson he said he ever got in
pruning was from the late Reu-
ben Ragan, of Indiana, who said
when he found that pruning was
coming into his mind, the very
first thing he should do would
be to throw his knife into the
well.

Preserving Milk.

The Amer icdn artisan has an
account of a new process, the in
vention of Mr.. L. F. Kirchofer, for
preserving milk. The object of
this invention is to subject milk
to such a treatment that, with
out altering its elements or
taste, and without the addition of
any foreign substance, it may be
preserved in its natural state for
several months without change,
except the rising of cream,wheth
er it be kept in state ofrest or
subject to constant movement,
as in sea voyages. If this object
be accomplished, the invention
is most important one, as con-
dsnsed milk is not in favor with
most people when used strictly
as an article Of food although it is
excellent when used in cookery,
or for tea and coffee. In Mr..
Kirchofer's process the milk, fresh
drawn from the COW, is placed in
cans or bottles, which are filled
nearly full as possible, and i'm
mediately corked tightly or her
metically sealed.
The cans or bottles are then
placed i'm Bath of water, heat
ed to the same temperature as
the milk, in a manner as to allow
a free circulation of water be-
meath and around, but not over
them. The temperature of the
water bath is then slowly raised
to between 160 and ITO deg.
Fahr. The " ater is kept at this
temperature for greater or less
length of time, according to the
period during which it is desired
to preserve the milk. One hour
will it Is claimed, preserve the
milk TOUR or five weeks. Five
hours heating is enough for eight
months or a year.
The fire is then withdrawn and
the bath allowed to cool down
slowly after which the cans are
withdrawn and the operation is
completed. An essential condi-
ton of success in this process is
that the vessels designed to con-
tain the milk should be perfectly
clean and sweet, and the milk
itself pure and unadulterated. III
the temperature be raised above
the degree indicated, the milk ac-
quires a cooked taste

Forgive with all Your Heart.

Willie and Helen had a little
bit of quarrel the other night.
Willie had a pretty..picture paper
and Helen crumpled it. But
Willie is very particular to keep
his papers smooth and nice, SO !
am sorry to say he was very an
cry, and slapped his sister. Then
Helen slapped back again.
Mother had to separate the
children. She put one on the
sofa, and the other on a stool to
cool down and think. Then she
told them they must make up.
Helen marched straight up to
Willie, and said in her sweetest
tone. "Willie, l am sorry l muss-
ed your paper; will you forgive
mes"
Willie was not SO loving as his
sister. 1t was a good deal hard
er for him to make up. But he
had to do something about 1T, so
he replied.
"Sister, l will forgive you, but
l think l can't excuse you" He
meant just what l have heard
many a person say, 81 can for
give, but l can't forget"
"That wont do," said mamma
"you must forgive, my son with
all your heart"
"Well, then, l WILL" said mas
ter Willie, after thinking some
time about it, "sister, I'll forgive
you, and I'm sorry | struck you
let us kiss"
Dear children, we can never
be happy unless we forgive asGod
does; forgive and never re mem
ber any more.

Coal Ashes About Plum Trees

l had very pretty plum tree
in my yard year ago last sum-
mer. 1t had but a few plums on
it. 1t looked healthy but the
fruit fell off until only seven very
imperfect plums remained. That
fall | dug about the tree, cut
away the grass, and spread coal
ashes, from the CRATES and stoves
around il for two OF three feet
and about two or three inches
deep and trampled the ashes
lightly down. The following
spring the tree leaved out nicely,
was full of plums and nearly ali
remained on until ripe-so full
were the branches that | had to
tie them up to support the
weight. The fruit was quite per-
feet in size and shape. l am
sure the manner of treatment was
the cause of the improvement.
/ think many fruit trees could be
thus improved = both in the
quantity and quality OF fruit they
would produce.-K II. WoOden

Politeness.

s.The preacher staid at Toby
Jones' the the other night, and at
breakfast Mrs. Jones had dessert,
plumbs l think it was, or some
thing 20 tempt the appetite ofthe
little Jonses. The preacher lean
ed back in his chair and laughed d
saying: "Well l declare! dessert
at breakfast" RosELLA RICE.
I've been thinking this long
time that / would write a little to
the children or young folks about
politeness every day and at all
times. But when l read that
sentence l thought l would say a
word to old folks first, for what
is the use of talking to the chill
dren unless the example Of cour-
tesy is before them in their par
ents and older friends
l cannot think that man is a
fair sample of the preachers of
that region; l certainly have not
for the credit of the profession.
/ think should never invite him
to my house again for the sake
of my children. l should not
wish them to see in one l want
ed them to respect, such an ex-
ample of impoliteness. For sure
ly the first dictate of common
courtesy, when we go to a friends
house, it is to eat what is set be-
fore us, not only "asking no ques-
tions," but making no remarks
for ';conscience" or any other
sake. But when to remark is ad-
ded laughter, and that derisive
enough to bring tears to his host
ess' eyes-it would seem as if
coarseness and rudeness had
reached its limit, and could no
further go. If he did not care
for the dainties he might decline
them and eat something else.
Why is it, some good people
are SO careless in regard to these
thingss The little courtesies of
life cost nothing and they make
everything move so much more
pleasantly,
81 thank you," and "If you
please" are little words, but they
and others of the same sort add
grace to every day life that we
can i'll afford to lose.
If parents and the older mem
bers of the families are polite,
always attending to these little
courtesies, the children will learn
them easily, for they are imita-
tive creatures, but unless it is the
custom of their everyday life, no
amount of teaching will give it to
them, or enable them to put it on
on extra occasions, when parents
and friends would be glad to have
them appear at their best.
Ihave in mind a little boy who
has always been a model in such
respects; his grammar is always
correct, and his manner beauti-
full in its graceful courtesy. In
contrast thereto, are two little
boys who come to see us at
times, bright, smart little fellows,
but if they ask for anything, it's
81 want," or "Ma wants your pat
term" or whatever it may be,
and "Thank you," or any acknowl-
edgment of a favor is unknown
to them.
Where is the difference? In the
parents of course. The latter lit
tie boys if they were trained, if
they heard gentlemanly and cour-
teous words at home, would be
courteous, for they are quick
witted little fellows, and withal
have a pride that would help
them to learn.
