Without a well-planned course

Without a well-planned course Of
study, competent teachers, and ell
cient county supervision, graduating
scheme for elementary schools will
prove a farce. wherever tried under
favorable circumstances, it has prov
ed immensely popular and highly ben
efcial. We do not favor hobbies and
lobbyists, but we certainly find here
a key to the elevation of country
schools.

The school and the home bear an
intimate relation to each other.
Each sustains the other gives
and receives important influences.
Each has its peculiar work. The
school is designed to help parents
''train up their children. Yet, in
order to do this, it must have their
active cooperation.

In 1876 Blaine received on the first
ballot 2S5 votes, and on the seventh
ballot ISL, only 20 less than enough to
nominate him, when the rush was
made to Hayes. In 1880 he received
on the first ballot 284, gained one on
the thirteenth ballot, which was the
highest vote he received. At the last
convention he received on the first
ballot $685., on the second $40, on the
third 375, and ON the fourth ballot SAL.

The policemen who discover infer
nal machines over in England around
railroad depots and hotel cellars, while
they are not able to give much of a
guess as to the parties who dropped
them there, find at the first glance
that they are of american manufac-
ture." We suppose the American
manufacturers put their imprint at
the bottom of the machines with a
warning, ''none genuine that have not
the name of the maker blown in the
glass" Otherwise we do not seem to
see how these astute fellows smell out
the origin of the Yankee notion so
promptly. One machine looks so
much like a similar one that we think
the case looks a little suspicious.

Rev. James Pinkham, of Iowa, in

neapolis, Mimi, spoke of the Utter
failure of high license to restrict the
evil. Des MoiGes in less than five
weeks after the ordinance went into
effect had a gain of eleven saloons.
In Burlington there had been a gain
of FIVE saloons in six weeks after the
license was raised from $500 to 5000.
1t cost more and the business was
made respectable. Cd The same was
true in every city which he had ex-
amined, and he could prove his state
ments by the words of the mayors of
these cities. He wished to leave these
facts here in Minneapolis where high
license may soon be the issue.-Union

Royalty in the Composlng-Room.

1t was my destiny once to engage the
deceased Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany,
in a long conversation. In the fall of
1879 Prince Leopold, accompanied by his
former tutor, Canon Duckworth, visited
the office of one of the largest of the Lon
don morning newspapers. on the staff of
which | was at that time employed. was
deputed by the proprietors to show the
Prince over the building, a task which oc-
cupied about three hours; for the Prince
not only desired to see everything that
was to be seen there, but to have it ex-
planned to him in detail. The poor old
cannon became quite wearied of the in
spection, and once or twice limited at the
propriety of quitting, until the Prince told
him plainly that he was not disposed to
hurry. When passing through the COM
posing room the Prince dumfounded one
of the compositors by asking for the loan
of his composing stick. OF course the
Princes request was at once complied
with. when his royal hignness proceeded
to still further astonish the typos by set
ting two or three lines from page of
manuscript which lay on the case. 1t was
evident that the Prince was perfectly &C.
quainted with the arrangement of the
cases and could compose type with ease.
Court etiquette requiring that no one who
has not been officially introduced shall put
any question to any royal parsonage, 1 was
precluded asking for any explanation so
ardently desired to have. Noticing, sup
pose, my puzzled expression. the Prince
proceeded to enlighten me. He had learn
ed practical printing, he said, when a
young boy at his uncle s IN Germany, and
had spent five years at the task.-Londoa

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

A SIMPLE GINGERBREAD.-Mix thor
oughly one pound of flour with three tea
spoonfuls of good baking powder; melt
one.quarter pound of butter and mix with
one-half pound of treacle or golden syrup
and one ounce of powdered ginger, and
then mix these with the -four, which will
form a soft. dark dough. If desired in
one thick cake, place the whole mass in a
shallow tin, we'll buttered, and bake in a
moderately hot oven for from three-quar-
tiers of aa hour to an hour. When nearly
done brush over the top with an egg beat
en- to a froth, and return it to the oven to
flush baking. For gingerbread nuts one
ounce of caraway seeds and one-half
ounce of candled lemon peel, cut fac, add
l egg to the above mentioned Ingredients.
Work all we'll together, roll the dough il =
to thin sheets, cut out with the rim of
wine glass; place the nuts on a we'll
creased tin and bake in slow oven for
about twenty minutes or half an hour.
RuuBARB JELLY.-Take some rlubarb
wipe it with clean wet cloth, peel it and
cut it into pieces an inch long. To each
pound of rhubarb add three quarters of a
mound of white sugar. Put it to boil for
about ten minutes. or until the juice is
we'll drawn. Strain 1t into a preserving
pan, let it boil quickly until it clings to
the spoon, skim it and put it into jam pots
or moulds. The quickest way to know if
it will set, is to drop little on toia plate
to cool.
