MILK AND EGGS AS FOoD.-We desire
particularly to recommend to farmers
the use of more milk and eggs in their
families. There is no food SO economi-
cal, and at the same time SO healtbful
and nutritious as milk. 1t is both meat
and drink. 1t contains every element
essential to the development of the ami
NAL system. The proportions Of these
elements also are just right. There is
nitrogen to form muscles, oil for lubri-
eating and generating heat, and saline
matter for forming bones. Fortunate
are those children that are brought up
on milk diet. They are unconscious
of having stomachs, their muscles are
well developed, their skins are smooth
and their cheeks rosy. 1t is great
mistake to suppose that q milk diet is
suitable only for children. Milk is just
as well adapted for men as boys. One
of the best developed men, both physi-
cally and mentally, Massachusetts ever
produced, DR.. Griffin, once pastor of
Park Street Church, Boston, and after.
wards President of Williams College,
loved milk when boy and continued to
love it all through life, preferring a
breakfast of bread and milk to any
thing else. Few men ever filled Park
Street pulpit with a larger physique or
more mental power. Milk is emphati-
cally mans food. In every 80 gallons of
it there is pound of phosphate of lime.
Why it is not more used in farmers
families we do not know unless it is so
cheap and abundant. Home mercies
are wont to be lightly appreciated.
Eggs are another article of cheap and
nutritious food which we do not find
on farmers tables in the quantity which
economy demands. They are very con-
venient to take to the store and ex-
change for sugar. spices, ETC., and this
is the disposition which so many farm
ers make of them. They probably do
not fully comprehend how valuable eggs
are rs food; that like milk, an egg is a
complete food in itself, containing every
thing necessary for the development of
perfect animal, as is manifest from
the fact that chick is formed from it.
1t seems mystery how muscles, bones,
feathers, and every thing that q chick
requires for its perfect development, are
made from the yelk and white of an egg;
but such is the fact, and it shows how
complete food an egg is. 1t is also
easily digested, if not damaged in cook
ing. A raw or soft boiled egg is almost
as easily assimilated as is milk, and can
be eaten with impunity by children and
invalids. The average egg weighs a
thousand grains, and is worth more as
food than so much beefsteak. Indeed,
there is no more concentrated and nour-
ishing food than eggs. The albumen,
oil, and saline matter are, as in milk, in
the right proportion for sustaining ami
NAL life. When eggs bring no more

A Word TO the COrpulent

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnor-
NAL condition, many people have enormously
considered it an evidence of health. and
any agent that reduces fat is therefore at
once suspected of berg injurious. Starting
to reason from the false position that fat is an
evidence of health, it is not surprising that
they should, very naturally, fail into the error
of Surprising that an agent possessing prop
critics capable of reducing corpulency would
prove injurious to the health. Reasoning,
however, from the rational basis, that an IN
due deposition of fat, constituting obesity, is
not a healthy but a morbid condition, it ia
quite as natural for us to arrive at the oppO
site conclusions i. E., which is sustained by expe
rience and observation, that the reduction Of fat
in cases OF corpulency is invariably followed
by an improvement of strength, spirits ant
physical comforts. Allan's AnJi-Fat will re-

MISS MYRA'S MAY BASKET.

The moon was up, and the curtains
still drawn. There was no light in the
parlor, and the shadows of the leafy
vines at the windows made Pickering
little bits of mosaic on the pale gray
wallpaper inside. Miss Myra sat in
her little low rocking-chair, softly hum
ming tune she used to sing years ago
Most of the words had gone out of her
mind; only a tender little refrain Chin
ing in now and then upon her recollec-
ton of the quaint old melody. What a
food of memories those few little quav-
ering notes of tune poured in upon her.
The mists of twenty years dissolved,
and again she saw herself bright
eyed happy child; the ssWylde Myra, -
as they used laughingly to transpose
her curious name sometimes.
Panoramic pictures moved slowly be-
fore her, to the music and rhythm of the
old tune on her lips. First, there ap-
peared vision of her childhood. A
dusty yellow road a short, maple-bor-
dered green, and then turn and an
old red school-house, whose sides were
as spotted and brown as were the
faces of the urchins who rushed
pelI-men out of its door at recess. One
curly brown head and one pair of
honest brown eyes cleaned out
above all others in the crowd
They belonged to Myra's boy lover,
Roger Merton. He it was who used to
whistle that same tune when he brought
her May apples from the woods, and
hung the pretty May baskets on her
door early May-day morning. Then
that picture faded, and another, fairep
still, and brighter, shone out. A great
orchard of crooked apple-trees. all pink
and fragrant with bloom. Under the
low, blushing branches, brown-haired
youth and slender maiden plighting their
vows-a May morn over their heads, and
May-time in their hearts, and the sweet
old tune sung softly as they walked to-
gether. Again the scene changes.
May, again; and the eve before the
bridal. Two lovers saying "good night
and goodbye" for the last time, and
happy whistle of the old tune sounding
s'over the hills and far away" as Roger
goes to his home alone, to return on the
morrow for his bride. Then dark
cloud o'erhangs The picture. 1t is May
morning; but a heavy sorrow, instead
of q ight-hearted joy, is in the house
hold. Death-not nlRrriage-has taken
one away, and the mother, leaving in
the arms of Myra, her eldest born,
baby girl, with ebbing breath, whispers,
/" Be q mother to her, as L have been to
you. Let nothing come between you and
her, Myra." And Myra kneels, and re-
ceives the sacred charge.

"GOinS A-fishing.'

The man who invented the fsh-hook
will some day have monument. 1t
will be granite column 500 feet high,
built by the boys alone. A boy might
possibly get along with marbles, tops,
stills, balls and kites, yet he would feel
that there was an aching void some
where. A kite does well enough so
long as it will outsail all other kites
and the string doesn't break, and pair
of stills are good property until after
the first fall; but for real solid pleasure
the fish-hook can never be beaten. A
boy will always expect more and get
less from it than any thing else invent
ed, but he never gets too discouraged
to try again.
The Smith boy was observed trying
his luck yesterday in a pond on va
cant lot on Alfred Street. AS far back
as last December his mother promised
him half day out of school as soon
as the fish began to bite, and yesterday
was the glorious day. Where there's
water there ought to be fish, according
to every boys reckoning, and this
youth surrounded !" that wee little
pond-hole with its barrel of muddy
water with just as much enthusiasm
as a man would throw a line into
Lake st. Clair. He had ham, sweet
cake, potatoes, dried beef and boiled
egg for bait, and when he had spit on
his bait and cast in his hook all the
Seth Greens ever born couldn't have
convinced him that he would fail of at
least one good big bite. For two long
hours he fished for sturgeon and pick
erel and pike. changing the bait now
and then and never forgetting to spit on
it, and as he hauled up for the last time
he would simply admit that it wasn't
just the right sort of day to go fishing
If he had had little one to carry home
his triumph would have been more COM
plete, but yet his eyes were like dia-
monds as he met two boys on the cor
ner and called out:
Say! I've stayed out of school
whole half day and been a-fishing!

Christian Patience.

The aloes grow upon the sand,
The aloes thirst with parching heat,
Year after year they wait and stand,
Lonely and calm and front the beat
OF desert winds aud still a sweet
And subtle voice thrills all their veins:
Great patience win; 1t still remains,
After a century OF pains.
For you to bloom and be complete.
:" grow upon a thorny waste,
Hot noontide lies on all the way,
And with its scorching breath makes haste
Each freshening dawn to burn and slay
Yet patiently bide and stay,
knowing the secret of my fate,
The hour of bloom, dear Lord, wait,
Come when 1t will, or soon or late,
A hundred years is but day."

and walked out on to the verandah,
and discovered hanging upon the door

lifted it off and found it heavy. Quickly
she brought it into the parlor and light

it read upon card attached:

With trembling hands she opened the
cover, and there laughed up in her face,

put her hand to her heart, and gasped,

baby reached out both its hands, and
she lifted it up onto her bosom.
Outside the window three anxious
watchers stood, and there were tears
upon their checks as they beheld the

heart, Miss Myra rushed to the door
again, and out on the still May night
there came the cry:
' Come to me, Hope; you are for
