Steamed Beef.

Let me recommend my way of roast
ing meat, which is very easy, makes n
luscious dinner, and costs much less than
the usual method. Buy piece out Of tho
shoulder of beef creature, which We pet
here for fourteen cents per round, wien
n piece to roast costs thirty. Wash it in
cold wafer; put just enough hot water
into the "dish kettle" to cover the rim
then lay in an old-fashioned steamer,
which is round piece of tin, little
smaller than your kettle, full of holes.
Upon that lay your meat, keeping it en-
tirely out of water. - :.
Cook in this way piece that wcirhs
five or six pounds four hours. Then take
il out very carefully.as it is aupposed tnbc
exceedingly tender; thicken and salt tho
gravy to your taste; put the meat back,
down into the gravy; boil slowly twenty
minutesi take ont upon platter nnd
serve rs you would roast meat. The
gravy is very rich md nice. Cook nil the
time very slowly, taking care that the
water docs not boil away and burn. ne
that spoils your dinner. Better keep the
kettle on the back part Of the stove.
If you have steamed beef for dinner
Tuesday, there will, ii you calculate
rightly, be enough left for dinner Wed.
nesday, when you must slice it thin and
warm it up in the gravy, in which man
ncr it is delicious. Tomatoes fried or
stcwed are nice with such dinner, as arc
squash and turnip.

There's II beautiful song Oh the slumberou:

II comes from n cline where the roses were
And tuneful heart and bright brown hair
That waves In the morning beams.
Soft eyes OF azure, and eyes OF brown,
And snow-whitc forclends arc there
\ Elimmcring cross and gIiltcriay crown,
a thOrny bed and couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets OF prayer.
4 rosy leaf, and dimplcd hand,

Three golden rings on a broken hand,
a Tiny track on the suow-whItc sand,

And loneliness felt In the festive throng
Sinks down In the soul rs IL trcmblcs along

The Temple Of Diana.

Ephesus, one of the twelve Ionian cities
Of Asia Minor, was famous in antiquity
ns containing one Of the seven wonders Of
the world, the great temple of Artcmis,
or Diana. From very early times Ephcsus
was sacred city: the fable ascribrd its
foundation to the Amuzous, and the Ama-
z0nian legend is connected with Artcmis.
The first IOnian colonists in Lydia found
the worship of the goddess already c.
tdblislIcd here in primitive temple,
which was soon superseded by n magnif-
cent structure. This Grccan temple was
seven times restored, Mt the expense of all
the Greek communities in Asia Minor.
In the year 35G II. C. it was burned to the
ground, but again rebuilt IN n style of far
greater splcndor than before, the work en-
tending over 200 years. This later tenn
pie was 1926 feet long and ego feet wide.
"The foundations were sunk deep in
lnnrshy ground, rs prccaution against
earthquake" says Pliny. There were two
rows Of columns at the sides, but the
front and back porticOrs consisted of
eight rows Of columns, placed four deep.
Outside. at the entrance to the temple,

Training Children.

We pity our children too much and
strengthen them too little. It is equally
in vain to attempt to guard our children
from all evil companionship II is not
hopeless to imbuc them with spirit of
| resistance. They must wear their coat of
armor underneath the surface; they can
not put it on too early. The mUtlicr.Lird
provokcs the little nurslihg to leave the
ncst-tempts her with promises, calls to
| her with sweet Invitations, or, failing thus
pushes her from the nest and comnels her
to trust herself tn her rs yet untricd pow
ers of flight. We bro0dcour children toe,
long, We must teach them to flv before
they are ready tn leave the nest altOgcth-
or. We have, in short, something more
to do than to keep them from suffering
viz, to teach them to endure; something
higher tlinn to keep them from all contact
with sin-viz., to teach them to conoucrit.
The parent or teacher who most fully
enters into the child's life, shares its en-
pcricnccs, and appreciates its Joys and
snrrows and conflicts, is the best trainer.
God teaches tlIc race partly by law, more
by Chrlsts example,, most of all by the
indwclling of the Holy Spirit. We train
our children little by the laws we i'm
pose. more by our example, most of all
by our heart-life. The ancient prophct,
summoned To the chamber Of death, laid
himself upon the corpse of. the lad, "his
mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes
upon his eyes, and his hands upon his
hands," and so the life passed from the
living to the dead. Thus are wo bv the
power of a genuine sympathy to lay our
selves, ms 1t were, upon orr children, and
to inspire in every faculty true life
which pulsatcs in our own s0uls.-Abbot.

DRYING Consular Household,
Your correspondent on drying corn takes
unnecessary labor, and loses much of its
nutriment. My method seems better. ns
hers was tried by me years ago. Corn,
when Mt its best for eating, will shrink
little when boiled, and when cold will
shc!l easily with the hand. Boil fifteen
minutes; cool, or nearly cool it; shell it
from the cob; minglo n lRrgc quantity of
fine salt, tho moisture from the corn will
dissolve it; plncc in shallow pm; the
salt extracts the water from the corn. it
shrinks, and n short time in the sun finish
es it. Hang III paper bags. When used,
wash of the salt, and let il stand on a hot
stove over night, change the water and
beat again. The corn Is rs sweet as II
fresh from the field. Lovers of sweet
corn, try it, you will never buy the slop
they call "canncd corn

William Grimm's C0lIrtins.

~ few months ago, Jack told you n
story about Jacob Grimm. Now you
shall have something about his brother,

Some people who write books never
marry. Its pity, because those who
write books are such good folks. JacOb
and william Grimm, who wrote the fairy
stories, wcrG bachelors. They always
lived together and worked together, and
wrote in wonderfully contcntcd way
before either had II wife or children. At
last, they thought it best that unc of them
should marry. Neither wanted wife u
bit-which should it bcl
After long waiting, Jacob, the older
brother, concluded To be generous and
Sclf-forgctful, and relieve William of his
share in the difficulty by taking the bur
den Of n wife upon himself. So he select

William married, and Jacob came to

One Of these children became n noble
