Coon Conn BREAD AND PUDDINd.-The
same money will purchase two or three times
as much nourishment in corn meal as it will
buy in wheat -four, and it is a matter Of
economy to use as much of the former as
can be made palatable. Few corn.bread
recipes will give as continued satisfaction as
follows: One quart of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful cooking soda, one teacupful of mo-
%lasses, two teaspooDfuls of salt, four teacup-
fuls of fine corn meal, and from three to four
teacupfuls Of wheat -four mix well together,
and bake slowly for an hour or more. 1t
keeps moist for several days, and is relished
by most persons. The proportion Of -four
aud meal may be varied to suit the liking.
The above preparation, cooked in a steamer,
makes a good pudding, to be eaten with
cream or milk and sugar, or butter alone

I'll Miscellaneous.
A U TO CRACK.

There was an old woman who lived in n hut
About the size of a hickory nut;
The walls were thick, and the ceiling low,
And seldom out doors did the old woman go.
She took no paper, and in no book
0rany sort was she seen to look,
Yet sho imagined she knew much more
Than man or woman had known before.
They talked in her hearing Of wondruos things,
OF the dazzling splendor Of eastern kings,
OF the mountains covered with ice and snow
When all the valley lay green below.
They spoke Of adventures by sea and land,
or oceans and sees by a cable spannod,
or buried treasures but though she heard,
She said she didn't believe one word
And still she lives in her little hut
About the size Of a hickory nut,
At peace with herself, and quite content
With the way in which her days are spent.
Little II troubles hor, I suppose,
Because so very little she knows,
For keeping her doors and windows shut,
She has shrivelled up In her hickory nut.
And you, my dears, will no longer grow
lfyOu rest content with what you know
But 4 pitiful object you will dwell,
Shut up inside Of your hickory she'll.

TEACHING THE BABY.-You must take
your baby just where he is now, not much
more than a little animal, and educate his
physical nature so rapidly developing. For
instance, he has just reached the climbing
age every chair and stool is a worry to you,
aud a pair of stairs is a perpetual terror.
Now show him how to get up and down the
stairs, how to place his feet in climbing up
into chairs. Let him tumble a little it will
only make him more careful. II is but a
f~oretaste Of the hard schooling which expert
ence gives US all our lives. Better q little
fall with you close by to stop it at the right
place, than a great one when you are "ofi
guard" somo day. (Remember that too,
when he is in his teens,) But, l beg Of you,
il you want to sec him grow up active, strong
limbed and agile, do not keep his white
dresses too clean, nor tic his sashes after the
present uncomfortable fashion, SO that he
isn't conscious Of any legs above his knees.
Then, let him feed himself. He'll make a
miserable mess of it, at FIRST, but protect him
with bib and tin tray, aud he'll soon teach
his spoon the way to his mouth. Let him
burn his fingers a little some day when the
stove is not very hot he won't toeuh II then
when it would be dangerous.-"Letter 10 a

IT MUST be confessed that there are no
women more charming than the Americans.
First, they are pretty in a proportion wholly
unknown in Paris. Out Of hundred women
who pass by ninety are attractive. Besides
they know how to dress themselves.
Their toilet is perfect in taste, full of tact
and truly elegant. One would think they
had come from Worth. l will only ~criticise
one thing in their costumes; it is the pocket
placed at the height of the knee. This
pocket has an exclusive use. 1t carries the
pocket handkerchief. AT a distance, when
a corner of the white cambria is seen 10 this
opening, one asks himself if the beautiful
lady is not a victim of an accident, and if it
is not a very particular eetement that is seen
through the rent.-M. OfenJanch.

How TO PREPARE EGG ToAsT.-Aud, while
the tea is being drawn, a thinly-cut slice of
toast can be well Drowned but not burned
and an egg or two can be dropped into boil
ing water In which one tea-spoouful Of vine
gar has been poured, and n little salt added
to it. Pour one tablespoonful Of boiling
water over a bit of butter as large as a wal
nut, turn it over the toast, and il it is very
dry dip the whole of it into the melted but
ter and water. Soak the crusts completely.
Skim out the eggs as soon as the whites are
firmly set, and put them upon the toast.
Edge the plate with a few sprigs Of fresh,
green parsley, or some geranium leaves, and
serve upon a salver covered with a white
napkin, and an invalid will usually eat of it
with great relish.-SprinGGeld Republican.
