Teaching Children Order.

this habit through the training of his
mother. When boy. as far back as he
could remember. his mother always made
him pick up and put away his playthings
after he got through with them. He was
often allowed to get out all the materials
he wanted for good time. In bad wealth
er the kitchen was often at the disposal of
himself and brother. but they always I'M
derstood that everything was to be cleared
up at the close Of the play. No doubt
there is difference in children, for we
have known boys of the same family, OF
nearly the same age, brought up in all
respects as nearly alike as possible. yet
one Of them was always careless. and be-
came careless, easy man, while the other
was extremely particular in all the de-
tails of his dress. sports and work. Still
granting this difference. which many
would call a natural difference, we be-
lieve persistent training in early child
hood would make an orderly man out of
the most careless child.

Domestic Recipes,

Fruit Pudding.-To make plain
fruit pudding, take one cup Of sugar,
one-half cup butter, and two eggs, and
beat together; then add cup of sour
milk and one teaspoonful of soda, three
cups of flour, and one cup of chopped
raisins; spices to taste. Put in mould,
and steam two hours.
Another way which is very nice: Take
one and half cups of flour. one cup of
bread crumbs, one cup of raisins, half a
cup OF currants, two nutmegs, one cup
of suet chopped fine, two tablespoonful
Of sugar, four eggs, wineglass of syr-
up, and a little milk if necessary. Mix
very thoroughly, tie it in a cloth as tight
rs possible and boil fast for five or six
hours. Serve with wine sauce.
Hominy Fritters.-Take two teacup-
fuls of cold boiled hominy, one cup of
sweet milk, four teaspoonfuls of flour, a
little salt, and one egg; beat vigorously,
and drop with a spoon into hot lard; fry
until brown. Rice can be used instead
OF hominy.
Oatmeal Pudding.-Mix two ounces
of fine Scotch oatmeal in a quarter of a
pint of milk; add to it a pint of boiling
milk; sweeten to taste, and stir over the
fire for ten minutes; then put in two
ounces of sifted bread crumbs; stir until
the mixture is stiff; then add one ounce
of shred suet and one or two well-beaten
eggs, and a little flavoring or grated nut
meg; put the pudding in buttered dish,
and bake slowly for an hour.
Salt salmon should be soaked in cold
water at least twenty-fours before it is
cooked, and the water should be changed
several times. Boil it in plenty of water,
with some black pepper kernels. When
done put it in jar, and cover it with
vinegar diluted with some of the liquor
in which the salmon was boiled. 1t
should be kept closely covered, and will
be ready for use in few days.
Flank of beef Braised.-The flank of
beef is part generally unknown to
housekeepers in good circumstances, but
if properly cooked it makes an exceed
ingly good dish. Have about four
pounds of the flank cut in strip twice
as long as it is wide, wipe it with wet
cloth, trim off any tough skin which ap-
pears, season it with salt and pepper and
half a saltspoonful of powdered cloves,
roll it compactly, and tie it tightly in
shape with heavy cord; brown 1T in a
saucepan with sufficient hot drippings
of butter to keep it from sticking; when
it is brown all over, cover it with boil
ing water, add two teaspoonfuls of salt,
quarter of saltspoonful of pepper;
cover the saucepan, and cook the beef
very slowly three or four hours until it
is moderately tender.
Spiced Cabbage.-In another large
saucepan put half-cup of vinegar,
tablespoonful each of sugar and butter,
a teaspoonful of whole cloves, and
medium-sized head of red cabbage,
washed and sliced thin. Lay the beef
on the cabbage, and steam them together
over very moderate fire for about an
hour, or until both are tender; then re-
move the strings from the beef, and
serve it on platter with the cabbage
under it. The broth in which the beef
was cooked may be strained and used
as the basis of soups or sauces.

Diet of the Japanese.

OF thirty-six thousand cows slaught-
cred in Japan last year, more than one
half were consumed by foreigners on
shore or ship. Few natives, except Off
GERS in the capital, sailors and soldiers,
eat beef. Mutton and pork, beyond the
treaty ports, are hardly yet known.
About two hundred varieties of fish are
eaten, one-half of the people eating fish
every day. The food of the masses is
"ninety per cent. vegetable" The list
of food-plants in use, not including sea-
plants, was prepared, with their analy-
SEES, by Professor Edward Kinch, of the
Toxic University. A large number OF
these substances are unknown, or at
least unused, in the United States. OF
rice, which occupies in its culture one
half of the cultivated land, there are two
hundred and fifty varieties of seed in
the country. Millet is extensively used,
but bread raised from sponge of
yeast is hardly yet known in the popu-
lar diet, the old Latin-P Portuguese word
pan being, however, in use. The soy
bean, which in chemical composition
closely approaches animal fibre, is ex-
tensively cultivated. Probably no coun-
try excels Japan in the variety of leg
luminous plants raised for food. Of tu-
bers and roots, the sweet potato is the
most popular, though, strange to say,
as much tabooed by the aristocratic
classes as onions are supposed to be
among us. Sixteen million bushels of
these "Satsuma potatoes were pro-
duced last year, while the 'Java," or
"Dutch''-our common white potato
is left to foreigners, the native palate
not liking it. Lily bulbs-sixteen varie-
ties-serve as food, boiled and served
with "drawn butter" The lotus root is
eagerly eaten without oblivion of coun-
try or decay of patriotism. Poppy
seeds, powdered as condiment, infusions
of sailed cherry-blossoms for drink,
horse-chestnuts and acorns, are among
the articles of diet.

Sleep for Children.

There is no danger that children can
sleep too much. The old proverb, 'Who
sleeps, eats" is illustrated in those little
ones who sleep most Wakeful chill
dren are always peevish irritable and
lean. If they can be induced to sleep
abundantly they are quite likely to be-
come good natured and plump. Their
sleep should be as much during the
hours of darkness as possible, and there
fore it is better that they should go to
bed before sunset to have their sleep
out than to sleep long after sunrise in
the morning. 1t is well to let any
healthful, growing child or young per-
son sleep until he wakes himself, and
then give him such variety and
amount of out door exercise as shall
make him glad when bedtime returns.

An OFF Hand way to Measure an Acre.

Few farmers know the size of their
fields or how many acres they contain.
A field of the writer's, before it came in
to his possession, had been plowed and
reaped by contract for fifteen acres. On
measuring it, it was found to have but
twelve acres. 1t is desirable, in fact, in
dispensable for good work, that far
mer should know how many acres each
field contains, for otherwise he cannot
apportion seed or manure for it, nor can
he tell how much time it should require
to be plowed. A measuring cord should
be part of the furniture on every farm.
To make one, procure sixty-seven feet
OF strong rope, one inch around; make
loop or fasten ring or bar at each
end, and make these precisely sixty-six
feet apart. Then tie piece Of red rag
in the center. One acre of ground will
be piece four of the cords (chains)
long and two and one-half wide, equal
to sixteen by ten rods, making 160
square rods to one acre. The advantage
Of the ring or loop is that one person
can measure alone by driving stake in
the ground to hold the rope while he
.strctches IL out The rope should be
.oaked in tar and dried, which will pre-
tant IL frnm shrinking when wet.

Feathers from a Rattlesnake.

Mr.. H. Keep. of New York, while in
Louisiana shooting, noticed his dog,
which was reading bevy of quail, sud-
denly jump back, and act in a strange
manner. Approaching to learn the
cause, he found large rattlesnake, and
at once opened fire upon him. At the
second discharge he noticed quite a
number of feathers that the charge had
knocked from the body of the snake.
Upon closer examination he found
that the charge had torn open the snake,
exposing the body of quail, and APP
parently there were several more in his
capacious nav. The dog then took up
the trail, and soon led him to the bevy,
which was evidently the one from which
his snakeship had secured at least a
portion of his meal. - Forest and

Presence of Mind.

A Waterford blacksmith while walk
ing on the railroad track q short time
ago caught his foot in frog at switch
and could not release it. For several
minutes, so the report says, he stood in
fearful contemplation of his fate, for he
knew train was approaching. Final
ly, he threw his body clear of the track,
and the next moment the locomotive
crushed his foot off. No one can read
this paragraph without sincere sympathy
for the unfortunate blacksmith, but at
the same time it is hard to understand
why, since he had several minutes at
his disposal, and sufficient presence of
mind TO save the rest of his body, he did
not take his foot out of his boot, having
found it impossible to take his boot out
of the frog.
Not long ago, young man approach
ing railroad crossing saw girl with
her foot caught in a switch, and evident
ly too bewildered to help herself. A
train was approaching rapidly, and
there was only moment left in which
to assist her. The man ran toward her
with all the speed he was capable of,
opening his knife as he went, seized her
arm with one hand, while the other
drew the knife blade up the front of her
laced boot, dragged her fainting off the
track, and the train rushed past. He
cut her instep and ankle to the bone,
but he saved her life, and the wound
soon healed A tenth part of the re-
sources and energy thus displayed would
have saved the blacksmith's leg.
