BOn-bOns,

1t is to be feared that we, mothers,
do not realize so wildly as we should,
the fact that the children are influ-
enced by every look, action, and mood
OF ours just as surely as plants absorb
the dew and sunshine. A lady was
one morning kneeling down in front of
her little four-year-old boy, lacing up
his balmoral boots. For wonder, the
little fellow sat quite still, without d
single wriggle of his restless toes, and
she thankfully but silently congrat-
ulated herself over this, and she
looked up into his face. Breakfast
passed without any of the usual antics
from Johnny. Then an hour went by
with such delightful and discreet be-
havior, that his mother exclaimed in
wonder, 'You blessed Johnny! What
is making you so good to-day p
Johnny looked up brightly and cried
out, ''Why, mamma, don't you know
how you smiled when you tied up my
shoes -
We have always wondered how chill
dren could so patiently endure the
facetious admonition that if they
''don't stop crying their faces will
freeze that way A daring child who
lately listened to this admonition,
looked up with great interest and SYM
pathetically inquired, s'Well, grand
ma, when did your face freeze %

A Princess Goodness and q Kings Affection
for IL Circus Man.

A letter from Rome, says Prince
Humbert, the heir to the Italian
throne, may be seen any fine day driv-
ing on the Monte Pincio. The people
have great hopes in their future ruler.
his face, yet he is far from being a
careless Prince. He neglects no duty
that comes in his way. He studies the
people. He is always among them.
He drives in the parks, quite unat-
tended, and is a capital whip. You
would not know that the Prince was
passing by except by the Difference
paid him by those who knew his equip
age and face.
The face Of Prince Humbert is a
most striking one. 1t has all the good
points of his fathers face, and none of
the heaviness that characterizes the
visage of King Victor Emanuel. He
looks like a strong, hearty, whole
souled man. His face inspires conf
dence. Naturally he is great favor
tie with the people. He has not been
so scandalous in his private life as the
present King, and he has made mar
riage that is extremely pleasing to the
people.
How could they be otherwise than be
pleased with sweet Princess Margheri-
ia? This woman, first lady OF the
court, must have hard time of it.
She is indefatigable in the discharge
of her duties. You hear Of her in the
morning at some hospital, or visiting
some school, or driving out with that
brightest of little princes, the seven
year old Victor Emanuel, who is to be
the King of Italy if he outlives his
father and grandfather. He is mer-
ry little boy, seeming always ready
for a frolic. I saw him put into per-
feet fever of delight by an orange
which a young American girl tossed
into the royal carriage, and which the
young prince caught deftly in his
chubby hands.
The Italians never tire of singing
the praises of the Crown Princess.
She is not handsome, if judged by the
ordinary standard of beauty, but has

A Cheerful Room.

The first essential Tor a cheerful
room is sunshine. Without this,
money, labor, taste, are all thrown
away. \ dark room cannot be cheer
full and it is as unwholesome as it is
gloomy. Flowers will not blossom in
it; neither will people. Nobody
knows or ever will know, how many
men and women have been killed by
dark rooms.
''Glorify the room!'' Sydney Smith
used to say of a morning, when he or
dered every blind thrown open, every
, shade drawn up to the top Of the win
dow. Whoever is fortunate enough
to have a southeast or southwest cor
ner room, may, if she chooses, live in
such floods of sunny light that sick
ness will have hard work to get hold
dare to so much as knock at her door.
Second on my list of essentials for a
cheerful room I put-color. Many a
room that would otherwise be charm
ing is expressionless and tame for
want of bright color. Don't be afraid
of red. 1t is the most kindling and in
spring of colors. No room can be
be perfect without a good deal of it..
All the shades of scarlet or of crimson
are good. In an autumn leaf, in cur
tain, in chair-cover, in Il pin-cush
ion, in a vase, in the binding of q
book, everywhere you put it, it makes
a brilliant point and gives pleasure.
The blind say that they always think
red must be like the sound of a trum-
pet 5; and think there is deep truth
in their instinct. It is the gladdest,
most triumphant color everywhere.
Next to red comes yellow this must
be used very sparingly. No bouquet
of flowers is complete without a little
touch of yellow and no room is as gay
without yellow as with it. But bou-
quet in which yellow predominates is
ugly; the colors of all the other
= flowers are killed by it; and a room
which has one grain too much of yell
low in it is hopelessly ruined. l have
seen the whole expression Of one side
of the room altered, improved, toned
up, by the taking out of two or three
bright yellow leaves, from a big sheaf
of sumacs and ferns. The best and
safest color for walls is delicate
cream color. When / say best and
safest, 1 mean the best background for
bright colors and for pictures, and the
color which is least in danger of dis
agreeing with anything you may want
to put upon it. So also with flowers
the safest and best tint is a neutral
gray. If you cannot have a bare wood
= en- floor, either of black walnut, or
stained to initiate it, then have a plain
gray felt carpet. Above all things,

to prevent it's turning gray in baking;
but if much flour be sprinkled on It
the paste will not be clear.
Attention to the rolling out is the
most important to make light puff
paste. If it. be too light it may be
rolled out once or twice more than di.
rected as the folding mainly causes it
to rise high and even.
Be sure invariably to roll puff.paste
from you. Those who are not prac-
ticed in making puff paste should work
the butter in by breaking it into small
pieces, and covering the paste rolled
out; dredge it lightly with flour, fold
over the sides and ends, roll it out
very thin, add the remainder of the
butter, and fold and roll as before.
To insure lightness paste should be
set In the oven as soon after it is made
as possible; on this account the paste
should not begin to be made until the
oven is half heated. which sometimes
occupies an hour. If paste is left
twenty minutes or more before it is
baked it will become dull and heavy.
Paste should be light, without being
greasy, and baked of a fine color, with
out being burnt therefore, to insure
good baking requires attention.
Puff-paste requires a brisk oven; a
moderate one will best make pies and
tarts, paddings and biscuits. Regula-
ton of heat, according to circumstan.
ces, is the main point in baking.
If the oven be too hot the paste be.
side being burned will not rise we'll,
and if it be too slack the paste will be
soddened, not rise and want color.
Raised pies require the quickest oven.
When fruit pies are baked in iron
ovens the syrup is apt to boil out of
them. To prevent this, set a few thin
bricks on the bottom of the over be-
fore it is heated; but this will not be
requisite if the oven has a stone bot
tom.
Tart tins, cake molds, and dishes
should be we'll buttered before baking;
articles to be baked on sheets should
be placed on buttered paper.

fully .'nice'' will let the children have
broad board, a lump of putty and the
little wooden tools to make designs of
their own. 1t is real nder-garten
work, except that putty is used in
stead of modeling-clay. Give the chill

how to do it, and they will soon learn
to combine these into pretty designs.

Make a solution in the proportion of

with piece of glue as big as your

housekeepers has tried this, and

Wonderful Watches.

In the Swiss Department at the great
exposition there are some very pretty
watches. do not know as they are
any better than those offered by Amer
lean manufacturers. who have several
extensive displays; but there are GER
tain specimens, exhibited by Geneva
firm, which are unusually interesting
in their construction. The collection
is small, and not arranged in a show
case of any size or elegance, and, for
that reason, will probably not attract
so much attention as they deserve. I
would like to mention one watch. It
is very small, and set in a lingering,
with a circlet of diamonds around the
dial. The works are wound up by
turning the circlet. The price of this
trinket is 1858.
Another is fashionable after the same
principle, only is set in small gold
ball, to be used as a charm. The two
halves of the ball are detached, and
winding is accomplished by turning
the back half. An exceedingly neat
pattern, one has whose case is studded
in close rows with pearls, the inter-
stices being set with diamonds. This
is worth $40. Ona yet smaller scale
is constructed lady's stem-winder,-
the whole watch being but half-an-
inch in diameter. II. is studded with
diamonds. The infnitesimal is
reached, however, in a four-l line watch,
one-third of an inch across, stem-wind-
ing, and warranted to keep accurate
time. Its value is ST. 200.
In elegant watches of ordinary size,
[ noticed one minute-repeater, with
chased gold case, having upon it's in
ner case painting of Morning af-
ter Greuze, by Glandon. The price of
the watch alone is $500, while the pic
ture is valued at 5000. There was al
so a thousand-dollar watch, plain gold
case. perpetual calender, minute-re-
peater, chronograph, recording the
phases Of the moon, and telling wheth-
er the hour denoted on the dial is
night or daytime. If there is anything
more that a watch can do, suppose
this watch will do it. G.. E.W.

Hints on Pastry Making.

The following hints, from the Paci.
fic Rural Press, OH pastry making, by
an old housekeeper, are worthy of
study. The Americans are too much
addicted to pastry, but since the paste
is already formed, it remains only, in
the preparation of such food, to make
it as little injurious as possible by
making it good.
The art of making paste requires a
good memory, practice, and dexterity !;
for it is principally from the method
OF mixing the various ingredients Of
which it is composed that paste &C.
quires its good or bad qualities.
Before making paste wash the hands
in hot water; touch the paste as little
as possible, and roll it but little the
less the better. II the paste he much
wetted it will be tough.
A marble slab is better than a board
to make paste on; both, together with
the rolling pin, cutters, and tins,
should be kept very clean, as the least
dust or hard paste left on either will
spoil the whole.
The coolest part of the house and of
the day should be chosen for the pro-
cess during warm weather..
Flour for the finest paste should be
dried and sifted, as should pounded
white sugar.
Butter should be added to paste in
very small pieces, unless otherwise di-
rected.
If fresh butter be not used, break
salt butter into pieces, wash it we'll
in spring water to cleanse it from,
salt, squeeze it carefully, and dry it
upon a soft cloth. Fresh butter
should always be well worked to get
out the buttemilk.
After the butter has been pressed
and worked with wooden knife on
the pasteboard, press it very lightly
with a clean soft cloth, to absorb the
moisture. If good fresh butter is
used it will require very little, if any,
working.
Lard is sometimes used instead Of
butter, but the saving is of very tri.
fling Importance when it is considered
that, although lard will make paste
light, it will neither be of so good COL
or or flavor as when made with but
ter.
Dripping, especially from the beef
when very sweet and clean, is often
used for kitchen pies, and is, in this
instance, a good substitute for butter,
lard, etc.
In hot weather the butter should be
broken into pieces and put into spring
water, or into ice, else the butter in it
will harden it, and in baking melt and
separate from the paste.
The same thing happens in winter,
when the butter has not been sufi..
GENTLY worked and the paste is rather
soft ; for, though the season be favor
able to the making of paste, care must
be taken to work the butter sufficiently.
In winter paste should be made very
firm because the butter is then so. In
Summer the paste should be made soft
as the butter is then the same.
1t is important to work up paste
lightly and gradually into uniform
body, no strength or pressure being
used.
It is necessary to lightly flour both
sides Of paste when you roll it in order

Apple Puffs.-These are nice for par
ty suppers, and, in fact they are good
any time, but rather too tedious to
make for frequent use. The quickest
way to make them is to roll two large
sheets of dough on separate boards,
and put as many spots of mashed or
sifted sauce on one Of them as you
judge there will be room to make puffs;
then cover it all with the other sheet,
which should be a tritic larger, and
cut out with the biscuit cutter where
ever there is a bunch of sauce. If too
much sauce is put in, it will stew out
badly and dis6gure them; print around
them with a three-tined fork-if you
have nothing better-to press the
edges together and keep iii the juice.
The nutritive effects of food do not
depend wholly upon the nutritious ele-
ments which it contains, but very
much upon the facility with which
the cells are separated and taken up
by the absorbents; upon it's porosity,
allowing the digestive fluids to act ;
upon its compatibility with the digest
i've organs. An increased surface for
the digestive fluids to work upon is
promotive of digestion. And this is
where Horsford's substitute for soda
and cream of tartar, and all good bak-
ing powders that have followed in it's
wake, as we'll as soda and pure cream
of tartar, are valuable and useful in
place of yeast in domestic use, where
convenience, time, and labor-saving
are considerations in working. They
are agents which quickly generate the
needed gas to properly raise, make po-
rous, vcsiculate land thus increase sur
face for the digestive fluids to act up
on) all Preparations Of flour in which
they are used, principally biscuit,
gems, cake, etc. In so far as these
several preparations do this work COM
pletely, without leaving any injurious
residuum in the baked product, they
are prorortionately useful, but they
are none of them, nor any part Of
them, a food in any sense, but simply
vesiculating agents, the same as yeast
is, and none of them will ever sup.
plant good, sweet yeast, in making
bread.
