HUMOROUS.

IN JUNE things are-are exceedingly nice; we can prove it by Graphic para graph: "This is the month when Enailie thrust among the thorns her little hand.' This is the month when Juliet leant from the balcony and dallled with flowers. This is the month when Milton's Eve stood half yelled in fra grance so thick the blushing roses round her blew.' This is the month when, as Lowell reminds us, nature lays her ear to the earth to see if it be in tune. Lilacs blossom. Oysters rest and mediate. Little boys admire the beauteous honey-bee, and get stung painfully on their pantaloons. The happy milkmaid hies her to the lowing herd, singing as she goes, and gets kicked over the fence by the COW with the poke on. Hens crow on the front stoop, and lay their eggs in the other mans yard. The frog chants his eve- ming anthem from the contiguous pond, and the gorgeous robin whoops Ter up when you want to sleepin the morning. Fruit begins to appear on the stalls of the rural market, but fish-balls will be found safest for steady diet. The ar is balmy, sweltering, half-hazy, and the sun rolls over, red as billiard ball. Now cats vail their platonic ballads on back fences, and this, oh, this-is the season when it isn't quite safe to be a dOg.''

r A SERMON TO GIRLS ON CooKING- Cooking classes have been popular among fashionable young ladies of late years.1 But there is. no cooking class which quite equals in it's opportunity [ for excellent information that which | you may find at home. Presuming that am talking to girl who has just left school, advise you tc make use of your leisure in taking lessons from your mother. There is an absolute, splendid feeling of independence in knowing now to make perfectly light, sweet, substantial bread. Then try your hand at biscuits, mullins, corn
 bread, toast, and all the different forms into which breadstuffs may be blended. Toast seems simple thing enough, but it is frequently so iH-made that it does not deserve the name. Cruel, a neces- sity of the sick room, is often hopeless mystery to women who have the vaguest idea of how it is evolved from the raw material. After you have mastered the bread question, try meats and vegetables. Any bright girl who can comprehend an equation, or formu- late syllogism, can overcome the difficulties which beset her when learn ing to cook. Lucent sirups, golden cake. delicately Drowned bread, quiver- ing jellies, melting creams, and the whole set of material things glorified, because made for loves sake and for the good of ones dear ones, are lit express sions for any woman. The charm of this accomplishment lies in the fact that it imparts to it's owner gratifying sense of power; it bestows on her, too, the power, of blessing and resting those she loves best. Wherever the cook goes she takes her welcome along. One may tire of the sweetest singing, of the love- Hest poetry, of the finest painting, and of the most witty conversation, but of good cooking, never. Yet I would be sorry to have you 7contented to be only cook, only a domestic machine. That is not my, meaning or intention. Be artist, poet, inventor, and well-bred woman; be the most and the best that you can, and add, asa matter of course, abilitysto keep house we'll and to do all that good housekeeping includes.- E1chGnge.I .a 2 EI z .-- = J :.
