Mr. Leichworih's paper contains many whole
some If not particularly novel thoughts on the
classification and training of Juvenile dcnquents.
His conclusions will readily be accepted as thoo-
reticay sound by the trustees ond Ocersof tho re-
formatory institutions of tho State. There are,
however, great practical difficulties in the way OF
the rigid and systematic application of these prn-
ciples. We believe that the Managers and super
intendent OF the House Of Refuge are doing WHAT
they can to discriminate between the unfortunate
and the incorrgiblo wards committed to their care
In view of tho excellent management of that instl-
tuti on ard the peculiar difficulties which are en-
couptered in dealing with juvenile vaglants and
offenders in 80 large centre Of population as New

Hints.

Before and After Breakfast Hot Weather
Hints.
Cooking is not a pleasant occupation this
time of the year, and yet most houSekeepers
feel it their duty to get up a hot dinner and
perhaps hot breakfast aud ten also. 1t is
Tar better for the health not to eat hot or
warm food during the summer vet MANY
people do not feel satisfied without their
warm dinner" For breakfast it is advis-
able To kindle wood fire and make an extra
quantity Of cofed or tea, boiling the milk.
Fish or meat may also be cooked, but oat-
meal and berries are better. After break
fast put little coal on the 6re-just sutii-
cieut to keep it up, and at Il wood may be
put ON to cook dinner tor noon. Potatoes
peas and asparagus are quickly boiled and
do not require much tending over the fire.
Fruit is best for desert PuddingS should
be left for cold weather and pies are not
advisable at any season.
Pineapples sliced lengthwise and left on
the ice. after being we'll sugared, are deli
cious. Bananas thinly sliced and mixed
with orange. mounted BY little whipped
cream. make delicate dish. Berries OF all
Kinds, Sugareu currents anu ptdCutS winch
are Just coming in pIentifully, all make de
Sirable desserts.
The tea or coffee left over from breakfast
should he strained into pitcher and put in
the ice box uust before tea few pieces
of ice should he put in and when served IN
glasses il makes = palatable and cooling
drink. Cold meat crackers, thinly sliced
bread and butter, with berries make mp q
nice bill of fare for supper.
IfposSible. every hoUsekeeper should rest
in the middle of the day. One must rise
early TO do this: but it will not prove dis
agreeable after time All the homework
should be- accomplished before dinner, and
after the table is cleared away, the warm,
weary and sleepy hOusekeeper should HE
away 10 her own room, put on a loose
wrapper aud lie down to read and rest, if
not to sleep. About { O'Clock take cool
sponge bath. dress slowly, and then 1t is
time to see about supper.
DO not sweep every week unless the
rooms really need it. Ii is much less
irving to pick up the scraps, or to go
about with a little broom and dustPan
and gather up the dust
