Our Common schools.

There are some common defects in
our public schools which deserve the
attention of the parents, for without
their help, the teacher, and even the
august committee are powerless. Tho
average American child, especially the
average boy, is altogether too saucy
and careless to become an agreeable
citizen when he arrives at mature years.
The independence and self reliance
which we rightly esteem as the price
less inheritance won by our forefathers
by their toll, and sacrifice and patriot.
ism, is very apt to show itself in the
school-boy as ilnpudent and intolerable
conceit; and when many gather in one
school are q serious nuisance. To illus.
trate the difference between our chill
dren and those of other countries in this
particular, one need only travel over
the Canadian border and visit
the French schools OF the
Canadian French, and if he can
afford time to visit France and Ger
many, he will find the contrast still
| greater. In these countries, courtesy
of manner, and respect to age and au.
thority are as universal as the lack Of
them in this country. A visitor will be
greeted with smile, and q bow o.
courtesy, when passing a school-holise
in play time, but in this country, hi
| will be lucky if he escapes insulting
language accompanied with snowballt
or other convenient missiles.
If these things are but trifes, theI
are straws which show which way til,
wind blows. If children were laugh
at home to show proper respect to thei
parents and other persons older thai
themselves, such things would be i'm
possible. We are far too apt to encour
age impudence in young childrel
by laughing at what we ca
'ismart,' which is really only pert
pertness in child of five years of ag
grows into outrageous impudence attic
or twelve years. Children who ar
properly taught at home are Away
modest and respectful to those olde
than themselves, and this modest
need not in the least interfere with
] proper sense of manly independent
and self-reliance.

How to Make Ice Cream.

1t
The secret of making good ice cream
of fanny grade, lies in the freezing. The
old way Of freezing cream, which is still
in use among small confeetioners, con-
sisted OF occasionally stirring the cream
while it was freezing in a tin can, set
in a tub OF ice and salt. A more easy
and expeditions method Is within the
reach of the average housekeepcr in
these days of patent freezers. The
same principle underlies all the best
known patents, l. O., the mixing OF the
cream by wooden beaten, which re-
wolves inside the can by the same mo-
ton that slightly changes the position
of the can in the outer tub OF ice and
salt This freezing mixture should be
composed of three parts of crushed ice
to one of coarse salt, of which care
should be taken that it does not reach
high enough around the sides of the can
to penetrate to tho interior, and so spoil
the cream; the water formed in the
outer tub by the melting of the freezing
mixture need not be drawn off while
| the cream is being frozen unless
tits likely to get into the can, because
the water is intensely cold. If it is de.
! sired to pack the cream after it is fro.
| zen, the water may be drawn off and
enough more ice and salt placed around
the c6r 5 reach nearly to the top. Ite
cream packed in this way can be kept
over night, or longer, If the freezing
mixture is properly renewed. Wher
ice cream is '.molded' or packed in the
molds of fancy shapes all the openings
should be closed with butter, or oilet
paper fixed about the apertures of the
mold with paste or gum tragacanth.
ice creams of the most ordinary sor
are made with milk thickened with ar
i rowroot or corn starch, in the proper
ton of a tablespoonful to q quart, dis
| solved in cold water, and then boilet
in milk, which is cooled, sweetenet
and favored before it is frozen, Thu
sort of ice cream usually made a
home is composed of milk, with
small proportion of cream, with egg
and, sugar added to it; for instance
dissolve half q pound of sugar in
quart of milk; place it over the fir
and let it heat to boiling point; mean
time bat three eggs to cream, pou
the boiling milk into them and the
, return to the fire and stir until
begins to thicken; then at,once remov
, it from the fire; stir until it is smooth
then flavor it, cool it, and when it
cool freeze it according to direction
given. Frozen custard is made in tn
: same way, only five eggs at least al
! added to q quart of milk.
French ice cream, thick and yellow
is made by boiling quart of crear
with long vanilla bean, and the
cooling and straining it; then Ii
yozes of two eggs are beaten smoot
with three-quarters of pound I
sugar; the favored cream is the
k mixed with the eggs and stirred oy,
!. the fire until it begins to thicken; d
+ rectly the cream begins to thicker
take it from the fire, and stir it f
five minutes then cool it and freeze
