THE POWER OF LOVE.

While on their way home from mite So
ciety the other night, old neighbor Wickle
and wife became somewhat displeased.
"I am not going with you any more, Sam
uel," said Mrs. Wickle. "You are too old a
man to cut up the way you did tonight.
The idea of any old man who has the rheu-
lnatism so bad that he can't put his socks on
mornings, going to mite meeting and cav

~ won't walk with man that acts like a
rhinoceros."
Chow does rhinoceros act ?" asked the
old man, thinking that he would catch her
on natural history.
'Acts like a fool, that's how he acts" and
Mrs. Wickle walked rapidly away, leaving
the old man several PAGES behind. He fin

addressing Mr.. Wickle. "What do you
mean by attempting to thrust your company
upon lady who does not want you 1t is
becoming to be too frequent for ladies to
be insulted on the streets by loafers. Get
back"
The man struck at Wickle. The old lady
dubbed her umbrella, and exclaiming, ''that
is my husband" gave the young man very
undignifed blow.
The old man, encouraged by his wife's
strike for the union, jumped on the young
man and held him while the rattling ribs OF

paS The use of corn-meal for cooking is
less common now than few years ago.
Wheat is now more nearly the price of corn
than formerly, and in the South, where corn
was once used almost exclusively, consider
able amount of wheat is now grown. With
the disuse of corn for cooking a really nice
article of corn meal is becoming scarce.
Most of it offered for sale in the cities is
made from Western corn, which is inferior
forcooking. The flint varietiesmostlyg grown
in the East, are better, though, good, sweet
meal is made from Southern dent corn. Its
excellence is one reason why so much corn
meal has always been used in the South.

READING ALOUD.-It is strange that in
a country whose language is stored full of
the choicest works of the human mind, and
whose population is, as whole, so well ed
ucated, reading aloud as source Of amuse-
ment and means of enjoyment is SO little
resorted to. There are many families, even
in book-loving England, there are scores of
families, we dare say, where a book, or a
chapter of a book, is never read to the faml-
ly circle from one end of the year, to an
other. The individual members of the fam
ily read, but all reading done in the family
is silent reading. Father has his paper
Mother her tract; Mary her novel; Johnny
his story of wild adventures. Reading,
there is enough of it; but each one reads for
himself. There is no reading for the whole,
and no grouping of the family into an au-
dence for an evenings enjoyment, such as
comes to people who hear a good bit of writ
ing we'll read.
Only those who have visited in families
where the gift of reading was cultivated as
source of family enjoyment, and the GUS
tom of reading aloud to the family y prac--
ticed, can imagine what a help and
blessing to the family life such habit is.
Music is we'll enough in its way, but its
range of expression is far narrower than
that of reading, and for that matter far less

wants. Then, too, singing requires an
instrumental accompaniment, and piano
costs money and requires too much practice
on the part of the performer to be availa-
BILE to many. The art of reading well is
easily acquired and cheaply taught, and
the expressions of literature are abundant
and varied. If sorrow has fallen on the
family, the needed antidote can be found d
both in prose and poetry. If fun is called
for, then fun can be had at the asking; for
the language is full of humor SO quaint
and subtitle that the bare recital Of the au-
thor's words brings the point out and "sets
the table in roar" History, tragedy,
comedy, wit, pathos, sublimity-,everry
spring at which the human mind loves to
drink, can be opened, and the sweet waters
be given freely to every one.
How cosy those home readings may be
made! Warmth, light, companionship,
culture, happiness, are included in them;
Next to the impulse of love as means of
drawing families together is the influence
of intellectual companionship. Cultivate
these, good friends, and see how satisfactory
will be the result.-The Golden Rule.

@ Horses are naturally scrupulouslly
cIeanly, and the nearer you keep them in
such a condition the better they will thrive.
Especially are they so about their food when
at liberty to select what they wish, yet it is
too often the case that when they are fed in
stables and elsewhere, their troughs become
sour and moldy or that their food is thrown
to them in some filthy place that would be
enough to destroy their appetite.

MUTTON.-The mutton Of Well-fed sheep
ofseyery breed, from the Downs and Shires
down to the little wooled Saxony, is palata-
BILE and healthful. None of the objections
urged against the use of pork can be brought
against those of mutton. 1t never has been
known to impart scrofula, trichina or tape
worms to- its consumers. The sheep does
not thrive in the mire, nor does it consume
garbage or vermin, or decaying meats or
vegetables. 1t does not wallow in the
trough it feeds from but is dainty and care
full feeder and as cleanly as needs be in its
habits. Mutton is more easilyand cheaply
produced than beef, is just as nutritious, and
may be served in as great variety of forms.
AS steady food, it is far superior to poultry,
and costs no more We mean good, fat,
juicy mutton, not that from the half-starved
scabby or foot-ordured specimens that have
outlived their breeding age and been shorn
of feeces enough to furnish shoddy blankets
for tribe of Indians. People in cities sell
dom know how really good mutton tastes,
and the remark may also apply to most fam
lilies upon the farm. The latter too often
fail to try it. We know OF many Well-to-do
farmers, men who have Well-stocked farms,
who do not slaughter sheep during a
twelve month, yet kill pig every month
down" pork enough to last every other
month during the year. This is a nation of
meat-eaters, but it confines itself too eXclu-
sively to pork and beef. 1t is better to
sandwich in little more mutton. A
few sheep for family consumption, even
when they are not kept for sale or for wool,
will be found most excellent investment
on allfarms. Correspondent Connecticut Fur-

CRACKING WHEAT INTO FLoUR.-Min-
nesota millers no longer "grind" wheat in
to flour. They "crack' it, and the peo-
pie of the Northwest claim that the new
process makes their hitherto inferior wheat
the most valuable in the world. Burr
stones are things of the past and Hungarian
steel rollers have taken their place. These
rollers are about thirty inches long and
eight inches in diameter. 1t takes five sets
of steel rollers to finish the flour. Each set
of rollers runs closer than the preceding.
| After the wheat passes each set of rollers 1T
is bolted or sifted through coarse cloth. This
cloth lets the disintergrated particles OF
wheat through and passes off the bulky and
larger pieces, which are run through another
and closer set of rollers and cracked again.
The last rollers have little else but wheat hullS
and waxy germs oi wheat, which do not tcrack
up, but smash down like a piece of wax.
The germ of kernel of wheat is not good
food. 1t makes flour black. By the old
milestone process this WaXy germ was
ground up with the starchy portion and
bolted through with the -four. BY the new
system of cracking the kernel instead of
grinding it this germ is not ground, but
| fiattened out and sifted or bolted out, while
the starchy portions of the wheat are crush
ed into powdered wheat or flour. All the
big mills of Minneapolis now manufacture
by the new process.

THE ABSORBING WORK.


For Christian ministers, and indeed for
the entire Church, this is seeking and saw
ing the lost. 1t was for this that Jesus
came into the world, gave it his personal
energy and example, called his apostles
about him and established his Church. We
only enter rightly in the mind of Christ
when we feel constrained to act as he did
in our pity for the lost and efforts to save'
them.
No one will do this unless his heart is in
it. S ing men is not thing of sentiment.
The appearance of it may last awhile, but
it will vanish if there is not the reality. A
heart full of love for the Saviour and of COM
passion for his fellow men is necessary for
any one who will give himself to such a
cause. 1t is a reflection on the earnestness
of the Church, that it attends to anything
else more carefully than this. If we are to
Judge of it by it's discussions, whether in the
papers or elsewhere, we must conclude that
it frequently forgets the sinners and their
salvation, in laboring for objects that rela-
lively are of the slightest and most transient
Importance.
tits inevitable that the life will be given
to that which rests most strongly on the
mind. If one is full of something he will
show it by his devotion to it. Out Of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,
anu SO uOes llle llle NY s'll llo Ihe'iio Vi GA
preston.
If saving the lost is that which is exer-
cising the thought and pressing upon the
conscience, it will appear in what is said
and done. If something else is uppermost
in thought it will be plainest in external
manifestation. The thought will express
itself honestly. What glory to the Church
would be the proof on all hands, by every
word and movement and the whole bearing
and tendency of the people, that it was fill
ed with Christians right enthusiasm in the
divergences, heresies even disappear amid
the fervor thus produced and employed.
and the energies that lie dormant or are
misdirected are reused and put in the way
of effective duty. The Church needs to
pray for nothing more than for that baptism
from God that will fill it with noble pas
sion for going out into the field of the world
and gathering in those who are perishing.
The answer to such prayer will not be with
held, if it is waited for in spirit of conse-
Grafton to the Master and his service.
