Soul il Labor.

The student may be an empty re-
ceptacle to contain the information
that is poured into him. He may study
according to the prescribed methods
Which his memory may retain, and yet
oil his work may be only cold and
lifeless form. But let him throw him
Self into il, let his curiosity be awak-
sned, his mental appetite be sharpen
Cd, his thoughts engaged in fresh and
original explorations, and study at
once becomes real and vital, its body
Is animated by soul, and the true
work of education has begun.
So in every employment--it Is not
enough that pains-taking industry
shapes the form-mind and heart must
also infuse their own vitality into it,
and make ii glow with warmth and
earnest life. The best that is in us
must enter into our work, if it is TO
be truly excellent. Not only mental
power, but moral earnestness must
permeate it. Not only thought, cour-
age, patience and zeal, but fidelity
must animate it not only fidelity to
to petty details, but that fidelity OF
soul TO its ideal, which in itself con.
tains the essence of all superior labor
Whatever be the work, let an image
of its highest excellence be cherished
in the heart and made the mark a,
which all the powers are to aim.
This will preserve labor from that
deterioration which so frequently
takes place in routine work. Labor
like character, cannot stand still if il
is not growing it is whitening. he
who puts not his whole soul into his
work-who cares only 20 get it done
that he may reap some external ben
eft; who cherishes no image of it al
1t should be; who feels no shame if i
be inferior, no joy if it be excellent
cannot even keep it up to the present
standard. Not caring to do more
than what will make it pass, he viii
gradually sink into doing less no
actuated by pure and high motives
he will become more and more slave
to low and sordid ones.

To Prevent Egg Eating.

Twas much troubled with pullets
eating their eggs, and watched them
while on nest. They dropped an egg
and then looked down in front and
pecked at it. l had china egg in the
nest, but they did not touch it-put
three in, but they knew the difference.
then put four common eggs boiled
hard in the nest. They dropped an
egg as usual, then began to peck, but
the one just laid was behind, and did
not get touched, and the boiled one
was not harmed. 1 immediate nut

Lumpy Eggs.

A correspondent writes to the
American Poultry Journal:
81 have very fine Light Brahma
hen that lays eggs all covered with lit
tie humps or warts of shell, and if you
break them off it leaves hole in the
egg. She has a good grass run, plenty
of bone and oyster sLell, and yet day
after day she lays these lumpy eggs.
Can do any thing for her? 2"
And the editor answers: "We have
had similar cases and cured them with
q dose of podophylum pills, one-half
grain each, one each day for three days
and feeding only wheat"

Strawberry Short Cake.


One quart flour, one teaspoon salt,
two teaspoons yeast powder. three
tablespoons butter, one egg, Two
tablespoons white sugar, and about a
half pint of sweet milk. Sift the Hour,
powder and salt together; rub in the
butter, cold; add the egg slightly
beaten, then the sugar and milk, and
mix into a smooth dough, just soft
enough to be easily handled; roll out
in two peices quite thin, to size re-
quired; lay one on top of the other
and bake in hot oven,i well creased
pan, about fifteen minutes, and sepa-
rate while yet warm-not hot. Use
one for the bottom crust, cover with
layer of berries. then lay on the 9TH
or piece and cover as before. Serve
with powdered sugar and cream.
Mr.. Francis Darwin believes that
plants dream. He has been watching
in a greenhouse at night, sitting quiet
ly and making observations on the
sleep of plants, and has noticed often
that the leaf of sensitive plant would
drop rapidly to its fullest extent and
slowly arise to its old position. Now
in this action the plant is behaving
exactly as if it had been touched on
its sensitive point; thus some internal
process produces the same impression
on the plant as real and external
stimulus. In the same way, a dog
dreaming by the fire win yelp and
move his legs as if he were hunting
real instead of an imaginary rabbit
