and all the fruit, last Of all the whites of
the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth; the pudding
should be about the consistency of plum

form; put the form in the pot and let it boil
uninterruptedly for four hours; have ket-

used with wollen or cotton goods.

These are handsomely bound nabook form,
each sample making one leaf. The volume
forms history of the owners dress from

Train your children to be polite at home
and you will never have cause to blush al
their rudeness abroad. The rosy checked
boy and girl and the strong and vigorous
young man who sit in their comfortable
seats in crowded cars, while gray-headed
grandfathers and grandmothers tug at the
straps, are poor commentaries on home
training. Nothing is cheaper than polite.

not be taught because it pays, but from
principle. The young man who is negligent
of his mother and sister at home, or the
sister who is selfish and unthoughted, will
be no blessing to any other home into
which they are engafted, until "they ur
learn what they have learned amiss" This
is often difficult and anoying, and robs life
of its sweetest hours and its richest gifts
