WHEN SANTA CLAUS COMES.

A good time is coming | wish IL were here
The very best time in the whole Of the year.
I'm counting each day on my fingers and
thumbs,
The days that must pass before Santa Claus
comes.
Good-by for while, then, to lessons and
school:
We can laugh, talk and sing, without break
ing the rule
No troublesome spelling, nor writing, nor
sums
There's nothing but play time when Santa
Claus comes.
suppose shall have II new dolly, of course
My last one was killed by fall from her
horse;
And for Harry and Jack tbere'll be trumpets
and drums,
To deafen US all with when Santa Claus comes.
I'll hang up my stocking to hold what he
brings;
hope he will fill it with lots Of nice things
He must know how dearly love sugar plums
I'd like a big box full when Santa Claus comes
And now the snowflake begin TO come down,
And the wind whistles sharp, and the branches
are brown,
don't mind the cold, though my fingers il
numbs,
For it brings the time nearer when Santa
Claus comes

RECIPES FOR MAKING BUOKWHEAT
CAKES,

One quart OF buckwhcat flour,
small tea-cupful Of Indian meal, one
and half teaspoonsful salt, four table
spoonsful good lively yeast; mix with
milk and tepid water enough to make it
the consistency OF muffin batter; then
beat we'll for fifteen minutes, aad set it
in warm place to raise over night. In
the morning the batter may be sour; il
so, dissolve o teaspoonful of soda in
little warm water and stir in; if the
cakes are not sweet add more saleratus;
do not bent tho batter; add table
spoonful OF molasses to brown the
cakes--the milk does not always brown
them sufficiently. Bake on a we'll heat
cd griddle that is perfectly clean;
soapstone griddle needs no greasing; an
iron griddle should be creased with
piece of rind OF ham or fat salt pork.
Butter and silver-drips syrup are best
to eat with buckwheat cakes; maple
syrup is also good.
ANOTHER. Let the buckwheat be of the
hulled sort, and fresh. Put into two
quart pitcher one and half pints of
tepid water; add four tablespoonsful of
bakers or as much compressed" yeast
as will make one loaf of bread--other
kinds in proporation--with little salt.
Then stir in buckwheat enough to make
o thick batter; cover the pitcher and set
away to rise over night; after beating
thoroughly. In the morning add three
tablespoons OF molasses, and quart
er of q tablespoonful of soda, dissolved
in about three tablespoons of milk.
Beat well together, and pour the cakes
from the pitcher upon we'll heated grid

SrrrL ANOTHER -Take one cupful of
-four, two of buckwheat -four, and one
of yeast; one tablespoonful of sugar,
and salt according TO taste. Mix with
water enough to make a stiff batter, and
set to rise over night. In the morning
add water in sufficient quantity to make
the batter run when poured on the
griddle.

Women's Spare Moments.

There arc many mystries in nature,
MS where all the fluff comes from, where
all the pins so to, why dog turns
round three times after getting up from
sleep; why a woman coming out of
a shop looks one way and walks tho
other, why a policeman mover has small
feet, and why diamonds are not trumps
as often as hearts; but more impene-
trablo mystery envelopes a woman with
bedroom. When Angelina hasn't
anything else to do, she goes up to her
bedroom, and vague unrest and
sense of trouble fill her breast, and she
says to herself: Now, think I'd
sleep more comfortable with the head of
my bed turned there, and tho sewing
machine here" Then she mentally
calculates that the what-not would look
better in this corner and tho rocking
chair more this way, and girds up her
loins for the work of reconstruction.
About ten o'clock Edward gets home.
They have no gas at Rogers Park, and
Angelina complains that the smell of
kerosene, when the lamps turned down,
gives her the headache, and the bed
room blinds are drawn down to keep
out the unchaste'' moon, so that alto
gether it is about as black as q VOLTS
mouth. Tho inspecting Edward en-
ters the room and shapes his course as
usual, but runs stem on to the sewing
machine, which has drfted from its
moorings, stubbing his t. and jamming
the sharp corner into himself whe,o he
lives. He makes some disconnected
remarks not wholly rious and patient,
and tufts up to find the bedroom can
die and match-safe, which are on the
washstand, or used to be there. They
are still there, but tho washstand now
bears seven points on his lce-bow, its
place being occupied by the what-not.
Cropping blindly about it, fearful ras-
tie and crash informs him that he has
upset Angelina's work basket contain

spair, turning toward where the bed

angel Gabrielam I?' ooh, Edwin"
responded the partner of his joys and
sorrows from the direction of his left
shoulder, " here l am. Why don'tyo
como to bed ?" Edwin hereupon wheels
about and starts liz the direction of the
voice. but steps on rolling spool of
thread and is hurled with the force of
catapult against the edge of the open
door which he strikes so forcibly that
his nose is almost driven out through
The back of his head. Then his wife
remarks in tone of mingled sorrow
and indignation "Oh, Edwin, /. Thought
you promised me never to go near II
saloon again? ?" Thoroughly infuriated,
the desperate man makes for the bed,
but the rocking chair, one of the old
school, with high back, like o tor
toise-shell comb, and long, sharp rock
ers, has been in wait for him all the
while, and now wrestles with him fur
iously. The combat. though
sanguinary, is short, and in six minutes
Edwin has risen like phoenix from the
ruins of that rocking-chair, got into
bed, turned his back on Angelina, and
enveloped himself in IS per cent. of
the bel-clothes. And next morning he
contemplates his nose in the glass, and
audibly wonders why woman cant
leave things alone.

EARLY RISING.

Mothers, teach your children to rise
early and engage in some business du-
ties before breakfast. It will give them
a healthy appetite for the meal, and be-
get in them q habit of early rising,
which will abide with them in after
years. always made it rule, even
when my children were quite small, to
waken them up for breakfast, at least
by six or seven o'clock. Of course the
usual amount of rest and all other things
were considered. Many mothers allow
their children to form the habit of sleep
ing till eight or nine o'clock, and then
they have no appetite and the meal will
be hurried over and they will be sent off
to school with aching heads and dull
brains, not getting fairly awake till the
middle of the day. Such scholars are
always behind in their studies.
This mode of treatment with children
besides injuring their bodily health, re-
tards their mental progress and brings
them up with indolent habits. Anoth-
er great consideration connected with
the health and early habits of children,
is 10 have them eat an early and light
supper, and retire at least two hours
before grown folks. Children growing
should have plenty of sleep. and by 60
ing to bed early will naturally feel like
getting up early. In fact, the old prov
erb of !" Early to bed and early to rise,
will make man both healthy and
wise" is as as applicable to children as
older ones, aud should be strictly OBJ
served, il we expect to raise our child
rem in q healthy and intelligent manner.

BEE KEEPING FOR WOMEN. One of
the most profitable as we'll as interest
ing kinds of business for a woman is
the care of bees. In a recent aSricul-
tnral report it is stated that one lady
bought four hives for $40, and in five
years she was offered 81, 500 for her
stock and refused it as not enough. In
addition to this increase of her capital,
in one of these five years she sold twen-
ty-two hives and $50 pounds of honey.
1t is also stated that in five years one
man, from six colonies of bees to start
with, cleared 5000 pounds of honey
and hfty-four colonies. When proper
~ instructed, almost any woman in the
city, rs easily Is in the country, can
manage bees and make more profit than
in any other method demanding SO lit
Gle time and labor. But in the modes
ordinarially practiced, few can make
any great profit in this employment.
1t is hoped thata time is of hand when
every woman will be trained to secure
TO hersalf an Independent home and
means to support q family, in case she
does not marry, or is left widow with
herself aud family to snpport.--Amer-
