To Make Tarts.

Roll the puff paste a quarter of ar
inch thick, cut with round cutter, and
cut two-thirds through with smaller
cutter. Bake in a pan lined with paper,
and when done take out the inside
piece which was looseued by the cutter.
set aside until ready to use, then fill
with jelly and serve.
Pates. Roll the puff paste one quar-
ter OF an inch tn ok, as for tartS, cut
with round cutter, then cut out the
center OF every other one with a small
CT cutter; lay this on the whole rounds
for rim, moistening the top of the
lower one with SOM water on the tips
of the fingers, to make the two pieces
adhere; cut small rounds from a slice
of stale bread and put into the cavities
of the pates to keep the bottom from
sing; bake like the tartS in Il steady,
rather quick oven; place the small
p eces cut from the rims on to another
paper-lined pan and bake as a cover
for the pates. Fiji with oyster, chicken
or lobster mixture, and put the small
round piece on top
Cheese straw. Roll the puff paste
thin, spr nklc oh grated cheese, fold,
roll and sprinkle again, cut INTO long
narrow STRIPS and lake. These are de.
liciouS to serve with ice-cream.
Bow knots. Roll puff paste thin and
cut into narrow strips. make n bow
knot with two loops and two ends
bake in paper lined pans, and when
cool, serve with a bit of Jelly in each
loop. These are very ornamental for a
tea or lunch party, and are a variation
on the round tartS.
Plain paste. This is the paste that is
used for pies. and it is very nice, al
though, rs with the puff paste, its deli
cacy depends upon the manner in
which it is made, the rolling and the
GOODNESS ofthe paste during preparation.
The ingredients to be used for a plain
paste are one cup of cream, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful
of baking-powder and -four to make
stiff. Mix the salt and baking-powder
with the flour, then wet with the cream,
little at a time, and cut in with knife
Roll them for the upper crust. To
make the upper crust, spread the re-
maindcr of the dough with butter,
sprinkle with flour, roll out half an
inch thick, making the long strokes as
lar As the arms can reach; butter
again, sprinkle, roll over like jelly
roll, and cut from the end to make a
crust. Before rolling, it is well to put
the pieces that have been cut between
the ice. taking them out one at time
as they are to be used. A rim of puff
paste between the under and upper
crust is an addition 20 both the looks OF
the pie and its flavor. If there is to be
no upper crust, make rim of puff
paste. Boston Herald.

Don't ScOld the Boys.

Parents too often indulge in a fruit
less scolding of their boys, and in under
rating everything they attempt TO do.
No boy is going TO develop all his latent
worth and power when he is constantly
moderated and belittled in his efforts
to do something. BOYS should be
taught self-reliance and confidence. for
these are the traits most needed wheE
they become men; but these they must
acquire after they have broken off from
parental control, if indeed they ever are
acquired. Better far stimulate boy
confidence in himself1 even at the risk
of his becoming conceited and self-im-
portant, than dwarf his self-respect and
confidence. Children are incapable OF
rendering double the service to parents
that is usually performed by them, only
because they are made to believe tina
they are of no account, merely great
awkward boobies, and don't know how
to perform even the simplest acts. This
is great wrong to the child and also
TO the parent, who loses years of valu-
able service; and the child, who has
wasted and frittered away its most sus-
ceptible period for instruction. Let
your boys believe that they are capable
Of accomplishing almost anything, even
to the pulling down OF mountains or the
uprooting OF forests. Let them try it
it won't hurt them. As a general rule
a boys confidence in his own powers
needs stimulating rather than weaken
inc. If he becomes too self-reliant, LEI
him alone; time will tone him down
and age demonstrate his fallibility.
BOYS need great deal of grit, and they
seldom have too much. If we always
knew the facts in the case we would
never fill half our allotted mission
Self-reliance or self-conceit, if yor
please, prompts many an arduou:
undertaking, and ofttimes forces the
most stubborn circumstances to YIELD
to the irresistible force of pluck. New
er tell boy he can't do it-he is toe
young, too weak, too much lacking il
experience. 1t is not so; he can do il
he is old enough; he is strong as a lion
and he has had all the experience h.
ever will have till he gets more. lie
him have all he wants-it will do hin
good. He will profit by it. Better
throw a little experience in his way
than not let him have enough. lie
him undertake difficult enterprises, en-
courage him to grapple with robus
schemes; it will be the making of him
1t is fatal error when parents do
everything themselves because they cal
do it better and quicker than boy
Stand back, old man, and give the DO,

the sooner he is taught the more servic'
You will get out of him. As genera
rule boys are ready to try their hand a

Do not rush in and grab the first seat

you would if the parlor were not on
wheels. Bow pleasantly TO the porter
and give him a quarter.
BE not over particular about seats, as
it will indicate that YOU do not travel
often. Say languidly: "Oh. anywhere
