HOME MADE BREAD.-To make home
made bread by the quick process: For two
medium size loaves OF bread use three
pounds Of flour. reserving quarter of a
pound for kneading; dissolve one small
cake Of compressed or German yeast in one
cupful of lukewarm water, put it in an
earthen howl and mix with it flour enough
to form n batter which will for moment
hold drop from the mixing spoon; cover
the bowl with a folded towel, place it near
the fire, in some place where it is possible
to bear the hand and let it rise until it is
full of little holes or about twice its original
volume; this will be in about half an hour ;
then add another cupful of lukewarm water,
containing teaspoonful of salt and enough
more flour to make soft dough; turn this
out on Toured board and knead it for five
minutes, using sufficient flour to prevent
the hands being moistened by the wet
dough. When the dough is properly knead-
ed divide it into two loaves, put them IN
buttered pans, cover them with folded
towels and set them near the stove to rise
to twice their volume. When the loaves
are light bake them in quick oven.

THE DUTIES or CIrIzkNSHIP.

The first duty OF every man IS what
To be true to his Maker, then to his
country, and then to himself In being
true to ones God one is morally sure
to be true TO ones country, and true
patriotism comprehends truth to ones
self The trouble with many men is
that they Try TO reverse the rule, and,
naturally, fail in all three duties. Now
this preachment was not meant 10 be a
sermon Ii is with ones patriotism that
this article has to do. To determine
ones duty 20 country demands an ac-
curate determination OF the sometimes
vexed question, TO which in times OF
peace, does ones allegiance belong
to the country of ones birth or the
country of ones allegiance5' In the
opinion of one set OF reasoners, the
m?niiest duty OF every man, " first, last
and all the time is to the country of his
birth. To another Set of reasoners,
every mans duty is just as plainly due
to the country in which he earns his
living, whether II is the land OF his
birth, the home OF his adoption or the
country 10 which he has gone "to make
stake. We agree with the latter
reasoners and our application is to
this kingdom. All OF us who are earn
ing our livings here owe our first ale
glance here At least we owe duty
that demands an active, Uoykine inter
est for national Hawaiian progress,
whether we 90 to the length of becom-
ing citizens or no. We understand and
appreciate that love OF fatherland which
makes the idea OF taking the oath 10
support any oiher country repugnant to
many men. But we think that any
man who can live anysoAetr, careless Of
the national prosperity and blind to
national dangers, is unfit for citizenship
in the nation OF his birth. Every man
owes certain duty to every other man,
Every citizen belongs-in sense-to
the community. His welfare, his for
tune, his liberty, his very life are al the
mercy OF the people with whom he
daily associates. He cannot abandon
those plain duties OF citizenship which
the age recognizes without violating :
sacred responsibility. Nor can he dc
so without weakening his own right tc
the protection Of law and the support
OF his fellows. We do not go so far a:
10 contend--as has been contended- r
that the man who is qualified legally tc
become a voter in any country, anc
does not vote, has no right to complain
If there is bad government. We dc
not so contend because we believe tina
non voters may often be quite as poten
(even more potenD for good govern
ment than il they voted. But We hole
that every man who has money, talents
or established character ought to emplo,
each or all OF those powerful agents or
the right side II may seem rathe
early lor rather lale) in the day to tall
about the duties OF citizenship. But II
is never TOO late to mend = and
the risk OF becoming wearisome in ltera
,ion-it is not TOO early TO "S,rip 70
