quarts boiling water and half teaspoon
salt. Boil it just seventeen minutes
from the time it begins to boil turn of
all the water set it over moderate
fire with the cover off to steam fifteen
minutes. Take care and be accurate.

SELF HELP.

Fight your own battles, asking favors
OF no one, and you will succeed far bet
ter than those who are ever turning, first
this way and then that, for little help.
No one can ever help you as you can
help yourself, for no one will have tho
interest in your affairs that you, Of
course, feel. The man who pushes on
through thick and thin with unfagging
purpose and indomitable courage, in
nine cases out of ten, makes name and
place for himself which people honor
and admire. The old motto, "There is
no such word as fall" should be i'm
pressed upon the young. Life's ways
are rugged and full of tlOrns, and it is
only the brave IN heart who can hope
to battle way to fame and fortune.
He who waits for others to push him
will find himself passed on the road
by those who push themselves. Peo-
pie who have been bolstered up all their
lives are like reeds in an emergency.
No one can lean upon them, and if they
cannot find prop for themselves down
they go, and cannot help themselves up
again, but must wait for some friendly
hand to raise them. These "bOosted
people never accomplish anything in
the world. They are not trusted be-
cause they do not trust themselves. 1t
is of little consequence to the world if
they sink or swim, and even mans
best friends grow tired of helping him
over obstacles he ought to surmount
alone. The man who learns to conquer
circumstances is independent of fortune,
and will receive more smiles than frowns
from the tickle goddess.
The ambitious and industrious man
has little patience with, or regard for,
the man content to remain at the bot
tom of the ladder all his life. The man
who keeps his wagon wheel in the rut
all the way to town simply because it is
too much trouble to get it out, is apt
to accomplish MS little good to mankind
as the one who expects to be "boosted
along through life. Both belong to the
same family, and merit pity more than
reprOach

LOVE THE CHILDREN,

Don't be afraid to show the children
That you love them. The boy or girl
will not easily 60 wrong whose arm is

FRS neck, or whose head is welcomed to
its cuddling place on fathers shoulder.
1t is on the side Of their affections that
children are most easily held and guided,
and the firmest rein is the invisible.
golden cord of love. 1t is good to hu-
NOR children in following their natural
bent in all right and helpful directions.
Remember that education is only the
leading ont of powers and faculties that
are within. Encourage, therefore, such
inclinations toward books, studies, me-
,hanics, music, out-of-door pursuits and
healthful sports as shall help most truly
10 develop your child. As education
comes more and more to in.
clude the develOpment-of natural apt
:tude, it will be more and more success
full. 1t is good to humor your children
N preserving their individuality and in
fostering a true self-respect. Teach
chem, too, the value of money, and ell.
courage them to manage their own finan.
:ial affairs. This will give them impor.
ant experience.

SEEKING THE PRESIDENCY.

We find that, from the beginning Of
the Government to the present time,
those who have sought the office of tho
Presidency have not obtained it, and
that the men who have obtained it did
not seek it.
Van Buren, was elected in 1886, when
he was passive instrument in the
hands of others, but lost his election in
1874, when he put forth efforts to pro-
cure q nomination. Polk, Pierce, Har-
rison and Taylor were not seekers.
Buchanan owed his nomination to the
circumstance that he had been absent
from the country during the four previ-
GUS years. Not one of the men who
have had the mania for the Office ever
got it E.
Those, therefore, who think it indie
cent for man to take an active part in
procuring his own nomination or cleo.
ton may console themselves with the
reflection that such men have never
been elected Seeking for an Office
amounts to disqualification for it, and
20 the people generally regard it.

BORROWED BOOKS.

The most independent man he who
would disdain to borrow a pins worth
of ordinary matter-will not scruple to
ask the loan of book. You lend it to
him with well-founded misgivings.
From that time until the date of its re-
turn time enough elapses to suffice for
the refreshing of all the defective men,
cries that have existed in recorded time.
The means by which the borrower will
avoid returning that book, for which he
has no use having once read it, are in
Vulnerable. First, he thinks he will
make its return an excuse for friendly
call; then he puts off the call evening
by evening for other and more exhilarat-
ing social pleasures. but insists that the
book must not be put into the book
case or it might be forgotten. Some
evening at bedtime he remembers it.
and enjOins his wife to remind him of
that book the very next day; the duti-
ful wife does as requested, and gets a
snub for her pains. Finally, some tidy
person tucks it into the family book
case, and it is forgotten. A quarter of
century later, when the owner has
reached that land where the only books
are volumes of record, and the borrower
has found his home in the place where
book is useless unless printed on mica
sheets, some desccndcnt of the former
will find the long-lost volume on q cheap
ook-stall, and wonder how in creation
il got there. Yet the explanation Is
easy enough.

THE DANGER OF AIMLESSNESS.

A great deal of time is wasted by
young people who have no particular
aim in life. Aimlcssness and lack of
motive are the chief obstacles to the
hest and most profitable use of time.
With goal to attain, an end to ac-
cOmplisl, and force of character suffi-
cient to hold the mind steadfastly to its
purpose, the sands of time are easily
transmitted into golden rain. Life is
made worth the living. Then, boys
espe"I. . if you live in the country
utilize ,,our time. Resolve to turn to
good account your hitherto-wasted mo-
ments. Most men of rank hav6easily
learned the lesso:. # utilizing the min
utes. Elihu Burritt, "the learned black
smith, found time, during his work at
the forge, to master several languages
and surprised cultured Europe by adj
dressing its chief learned body in San
skirt. Hugh Miller learned the secrets
of the old red sandstone in the capac-
ity of day labOrer. While his fellow
workmen idled during their mornings,
he was actively at work finding out the
,chy of the specimens and fossils his
hammer disclosed. Lord Chesterfield
relates of one of his friends that he
wrote q book of abstruse character DUR
ing the intervals of waiting for his wife
to appear at breakfast. Why not follow
such examples as thesef

A BALLOON was recently sent up from
Lille, France, containing two occupants,
who had several very narrow escapes be-
fore they again alighted on terra firma.
A heavy wind was blowing at the time,
and, on the balloon reaching an altitude
of 1900 metres, the cold air condensed
the gas and caused the balloon to descend
with fearful rapidity. Carried along by
the wind, it struck violently against a
tree, throwing out one of the occupants,
who only saved his life by clinging to
the ropes of the balloon and swinging
himself into the car again. The anchor
was thrown out, but the speed at which
the balloon was travelling broke it off as
soon as it caught in tree. The balloon
then started off at q furious pace, i'm
PEELED by the gale, and, in crossing 4
railway, narrowly escaped being cut in
two by the telegraph wires. At last, af-
ter completing distance of four and
half miles in five minutes, the stump of
the anchor caught in the branches of a
tree, the balloon came to q sudden stop
and burst, the two aeronauts were thrown
down with the car, which fortunately
lodged in q tree. Some peasants soon
arrived and extricated the unfortunate
travellers, who were not injured by their
dangerous voyage.

HAPPY PEOPLE.

A poetical writer has said that some
men meve through life as band of
music moves down the street, fiinging
out pleasure on every side through the
air to every one, far and near, that can
listen. Some men fill the air with their
strength and sweetness as the orchards
in October days fill the air with ripe
fruit. Some women cling to their own
houses like the honeysuckle over the
door, yet, like it, fill all the region with
the subtle fragrance of their goodness.
How great bounty and blessing is it
so to hold the royal gifts of the soul
that they shall be music to all! 1t
would be no unworthy thing to live for,
to make the power which We have with
In us the breath of other mems ioy: to
fill the atmosphere which they must
stand in with brightness which they
cannot create for themselves.
