Teaching Children to Cook.

1t is generally supposed that small
children, from their volatile tempera-
ments and forgetfulness, can not be
taught or trusted with cookery. Miss
Corson has proved quite the contrary.
Last year she had a class of children
from the New York Home for Soldiers
families; this year ten of them do the
entire cooking for the inmates, at least
$50, in that institution. In all the
classes of the New York cooking school
no pupils are more industrious, helpful,
and intelligent than the little children
from the mission schools and charitable
institutions.
In point of fact, the children's classes
are the most charming and useful and
important, for the wholesome effect they
will have on the strata of society they
represent. The artisan course of instruc-
tion for these little folks and elder girls
comprises the preparation and cooking
of simple dishes, setting the table, bring
ing in the dinner, waiting at table, re-
moving and washing soiled dishes, and
regulating the kitchen and dining-room
Let us go and take peep at the chill

WO:iinns Rule,

Francis Parkman has an article on the
woman question III the North american
ReuieW. 1t will be seen from the following
extract that he is not in favor of women
in politics: There are some means of
judging from experience whether they
are likely to exert in public life the ben
eticent powers ascribed to them. Many
countries in Europe have been governed
by queens, and this at time when to
wear a crown meant to hold dominant
power. According to theory, these fe-
male reigns ought to have shown more
virtuous and benign government than is
generally shown under the rule of men.
The facts do not answer to the expecta-
tion. Isabella of CASTLE was full of
amiable qualities, but she permitted her
self to be made the instrument of dia-
bolical religious persecution. Catharine
II. of Russia was one of the ablest
women who ever held a sceptre, and one
of the most profigate. Maria Theresa
of Austria was in many respects far
above the common level; but she was a
sharer in what has been called one of
the greatest political crimes-the parti-
tiQn of Poland. That outrage was the
work of three accOmplices-two women
and a man--the Empress of Russia, the
Archduchess of Austria and the King of
Prussia. The reign of Henry w. of
France was one of the most benefcent
in history. His first queen was pro-
fligate, and his second virago, gravely
suspected of having procured his assass-
ination in collusion with her lover. The
last wife of Louis w. was discreet and
devout; but she favored the dragon
nades, and called her brother to share
the spoils of those atrocious prosecutions.
A throng of matchless statesmen, SOL
diers, philosophers and poets made the
reign of Elizabeth of England brilliant
and great. 1t was adorned by the high
and courageous spirit of the queen, and
was sullied by her meanness, jealousy
and vanity. Mary of England lives in
the memory of her bloody prosecutions.
Mary of Scotland was the thorn of her
kingdom. Her destinations have out
lived three centuries. and SO have her
tumults of unbridled love and the dark
The mother of Charles TX. of France
fomented, if she did not cause, the fright
full massacre of st. Bartholomew, and
surrounded herself with bevy of beau
full and inscriptions girls whose charms
she used systematically as a means of
political influence. There have been
many bad kings, many Indifferent ones,
and few who earned the gratitude of all
time. Many women have worn crowns,
but we look among them in vain for one
of those royal benefactors to the race.
Not that women have less power for
good than men. In some circumstances
they have more. Their desire for good
is often intense; but this desire has not
b cen best fulfilled in the field of poll
les.

TossinR Upon a Ised of Agony,

Tortured in every joint with infiammatory
rheumatism, is prospect which may become
h melancholy fact it the twinges OF the dread
disorder are not checked at the outset. Per-
sons OF rheumatic tendency find Hostetters
Stomach Bitters useful remedy, nor do they
encounter the risk in using it they do from
resorting to that active poison, Colchicum,
which is often employed to arrest the malady.
The use OF the Bitters is equally as effective in
its results, and is attended with no risk.
There is ample testimony to prove that the

OF no common order, besides those of a tonic

ton OF the kidneys and promotes the removal
from the system of impurities which develop
disease and are iraught with serious danger.
Fever and ague, dyspepsia, debility, nervous

+" Vaseltne,1

"Vaseltne,D
A new product made from petroleum is
Jelly called " "Vaseline," which is OF the great
est utility in medicine, pharmacy and tor
toilet use. Physicians all over the world have
discovered its great value in the treatment
OF wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism,
catarrh and every ailment where liniment is
needed, and in almost every hospital in Amer.
lea and Europe this substance is now in con-
slant use, and is acknowledged not only to be
the best treatment, but also one of the most
important recent additions to medicine. Its
healing and pain allaying qualities being
superior to those OF any known substance,
while the speedy reliefit affords for piles and
chilblains is almost magical. AS an einollient,
Vaseline is way ahead OF anything else, as it
renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, and
our lady friends will find it not only the best,
but perhaps the sole substance which will
really preserve and restore to the complexion
the hues OF youth, making the cheek like vel
vet and the skin like satin. There is also made
a Pomade Vaseline," which is said to be OF
great benefit to the hair, keeping it soft and
glossy, preventing and curing dandruff, and
keeping the scalp bealthiul and free from dis
ease, and from those Objectionable creatures
which sometimes find a dwelling there. Num-
berless instances are cited OF how by the use
OF this pomade thin and falling hair has re-
sumed vigorous growth. Both the pure
Vaselne and the pomade are put up in twenty
five cent bottles and to be found at all first
class druggists, and we advise our readers to
make trial of this wonderful substance, and
we think they will find is claims to merit not
in the least exaggerated.
Carefully avoid the use OF rasping cathar-
tics. They weaken the bowels and leave
them worse off than before. Use instead,
that salutory, non-irritating aperientand anti
bilious medicine, DR.. Motifs Vegetable Liver
Pills, which will not only achieve the desired
object, relaxation of the bowels, without caus-
ing pain or weakening them, but promote
digestion and assimilation and depurate the
blood. The pills are sold by all druggists.

The Amazon and Its Tributaries.

Extensive, important and profitable as
onr rivers are in respect to commerce and
development of the country, they are
wholly unequal to the rivers of South
America. The Amazon alone furnishes
host of watery resources. and is fifty
named the Mediterranean Of that conti-
nent. Together with its tributaries, it
is navigable by steamers, according to
official reports, for 26, S5S miles; its av-
erage breadth in Brazil is four and one
fourth miles it rises, when high, fifty
four feet above its ordinary level, and its
volume is 20 vast that sailors at sea
drink its water and find it fresh out of
sight of land, its current being visible
five hundred miles from shore. The
volume of the principal rivers of our
sister continent is, in proportion TO the
area drained, tar greater than the volume
of rivers here, on account of increased
rainfall. The annual rainfall on our
Atlantic coast averages from forty to
forty-five inches on the coast of Brazil,
79i inches. The main channel of the
Amazon is, for the first thousand miles
from the ocean, nowhere less than thirty
fathoms Beyond the Peruvian frontier
it continues to be big river more than
thousand miles into the heart of the
Andes, the head of steam navigation
being at Mayro, Peru, 1923 miles IRON
the Atlantic and 1916 miles from Lima by
the public roads; 80 that it is only 33l
miles from Callao-the port of Lima-on
the Pacific, to the head of steam naviga-
ton on the Amazon. Peruvian railways
will soon bring steamers on the Amazon
within one days travel of the Pacific,
and Peruvian enterprise will speedily i'm
prove Andean communication, and open
the interior of South America to civili.
sttion and commerce.
The tributaries OF the Amazon are
longer than the largest rivers in Europe.
The Madeira is nsvigable by steamer to
its falls, on the Bolivian frontier, over
900 miles, and above the falls its tribu-
taries furnish 1890 miles of continuous
steam navigation, thus rendering COM
mercially accessible to the whole of
Bolivia and the wrstern part of the Brazil
ian province, Malto Crosse. Brazil has
lately granted a subsidy to a foreign
company to build railway around the
falls OF Madeira. The large rivers, Napo,
Maroni and Putumayo, are navigable
from the Amszon, through Ecuador and
Colombia, for almost 1000 miles beyond
the frontier of Brszil to the Andes, with
in 400 miles of Quito and Guysquil, and
so open communication with all the
region of Ecuador east Of the CordilleIas.
The Rio Negro, entering the Amazon ct
Msnaos, some LOO miles from the At
lautic, rises near Bogota, COlombia's
capital, passes through southern Vene-
zuela very close to the Orinoco, and is a
channel of trade between Venezuela and
Brazil, while the Orinoco is navigsbie
for sail and steam vessels from the ocean
to the Andes in Colombia. Thus the
Amsz)n and its tributaries are CONNER
clal highways for Venezuela, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, and
are navigable for steamers greater dis
lance than is included in the worlds cir
cumrerence.

the number of beings We love, and to
the number OF beings that love us, then
certainly the kindest and best nstured
man is likely to be the happiest for he
it is, other things being equal, that is

And surely it is worth while TO be get

A man that lacks kindness of feeling
and natural civility or that seldom speaks

faults to blame, and who INDUCES freely
in the sneer and taunt, or bitter sarcasm
and irony, is a great loser. 1t is a bad
thing and bad sign to be disliked, ex-
cept by the wicked, or when it is owing
to the brave utterance of unwelcome
truth. And then the mems sibi conscia
rect, the self consciousness Of right, will
be sufficient consolation.

But, alas how many there are, and
these not called bad men, either, who,
deficient in natural civility, will not
take the pains to be lik d, who will not
be kind and civil enough to be loved. It
is not in them by nature, and they do
not try TO ingraft 1t there, and so they

without receiving or comforting favors,

The Happy Moment in a Boys Life.

There is a time in the life of every
boy when his spirits are buoyed on
waves of unadulterated felicity, and
that time is on a fine bracing morning
when the circus comes to town and is
giving its pageant.
In the country the boy who is COM
PEELED to 60 to school ontnis eventful day
feels what he considers a punishment
more keenly than does forger his well
merited five years in Sing Sing. As he
sits and cons his hateful lessons he feels
as mean as does the man who buys a
dollar and hal new silk scarf by ga =
light and discovers on the following
morning that it is grassgreen.
His melancholy is not soothed by the
souI-melting strains of "Lanigan's Ball"
or "Grandfather's Clock" The happy
boy is the one who can follow the high
ly colored wagons from street to street
and marvel at their c-ntents.
1t is one of the hsppiest moments Of
his life. He drives his hands into his
pockets, pushes his cap on his head, and
marches along a. proudly as though be
were Alexander wadiDg up to his neck in
human gore. His thoughts will never
be known, but they are pretty respect
able in regard to fight and general sym
metry.
Then be goes to learn the occult mys-
terry which surrounds the creation of a
tent. His spirits are now the acme OF
human bliss That afternoon he goes to
the circus, and the junk man gets three
s5ove-Eds and a cOpper-bottomed pre-
serve kettle for twenty five cents.
