PECAN NUT CAKE.

At the South, where the pecan nut
grows to perfection, they are an admir-
ed addition to cake, but as they can be
bought fresh liz almost any large town,
this recipe may be followed elsewhere.
Have a pint measure full of fresh pecan
nuts after they are sheled. and set
them aside until you are ready to add
them TO layers of icing put between fat
round cakes made after the following
proportions: One pound Ofdour, whites
of sixteen eggs, three-q quarters Of q pound
of sugar, half q pound Of butter, q tea
spoonful of extract Of bitter almonds.
Bake this cake in large, fat tin plates
made for Jelly cake This quantity
should make six. For the icing ysu
need the whites of three eggs, one. pound
of pulveuzed sugar. Make the icing as
soon as you have put the cake in to
bake. and insert the LAYERS while thes
are still warm. Dot the bits Of nut
closely all over each layer, and garnisb
with them, especially the top. It is a
favorite cake with young folks. nor so
exuavagant as would seem at fist sight,
If made in com binatiOn with some dish
that requires only the yelks of eggs.

Great Mems Sons a5a Disadvantage.

St. Paul PiOneer-Press.
Sons Of great men seem to remind us
in these days chiefly that they cannot
climb to fame upon their fathers great
ness. 1t is a somewhat curious fact that
outside of a few families, such as that of
Adams, there is a sort of hereditary bar
to public succession. Perhaps 1t is as
we'll illustrated by the fortunes thus far
of Robert Lincoln as by those of any
other man. Mr.. Lincoln is not only the
son of his father, but he is a really able
man. He has shown himself suchin his
profession. He showed b mself such in
the cabinet to which he was called. And
yet the name of Robert Lincoln is one
unfamiliar to the politics Of the day, and
his ability is neither properly measured
nor appreciated The first reason, Of
course, is that such men have applied to
them an altogether different standard
from that In ordinary use. 1t is not ask
ed if they are ADLER or wiser than their
associates, but if they are as wise and
able as their fathers or unCles. To re-
quire of q young man that he should dis
play the qualities of a Lincoln or Grant
In maturity, and placed il the forcing
atmosphere of q great crisis, is to depre-
Ciate him In advance. He is not q weak
ling because he cannot carry the giants
armOr, yet that Is the test set for him. 1T
is one of the consultations of mediocrity
to believe that the world is run by favor
itism. To bear an illustrious name is,
therefore, to become q target Of a certain
species of envy. And if any scion Of
house still hOnored rises to greatness, he
will have achieved it. He viii not be
born to it or find it thrust upon him, but
be must be very great indeed, to over
come the disadvantages Of standing in
the shadow of the colossal dead.

Naming the Baby.

Boston Journal: There are MANY
families in which the really absurd
practice prevails of retaining the same
set Of Christian n amcs from generation
to generation, with the natural result
that each member of one of these famil-
les is constantly mistaken for his father
or cousin. In the giving Of names con-
siderations Of sentiment should ALWAYS
give way to those of convenience It ia
satisfactory to observe that the very
commonest of our Christian names ara
fast losing their popularity, and that
the custom Of giving double names, and
that OF using surnames as Christian
names are becoming more general.
These useful innovations are especially
to be recommended to the Smiths, the
Browns, the Joneses and all possessors
of excessively common surnames. We
may reasonably hope that in genera
ton or two there may be no Ions ger anv
plain Jhon Smiths to lament the incon-
vcnience of bearing name which il
practically mo name at ALL"

The Dogs Instinct Of Guarding
Property.

This isa purely artificial instinct
created by man expressly for his own
purposes; and it is now SO strongly in
grained in the intelligence of the dog
that it is unusual to find any individual
animal in which it is wholly absent.
Thus, we all know that without any
training dog will allow stranger to
pass by his masters gate without molcs-
tation; but that as soon as the stranger
passes within the gate, and so trespass-
es upon what the dog knows to be his
masters territory, the animal imme
diately begins to bark in order to give
his master notice of the invasion. And
this leads me to observe that barking is
itself an artificial instinct, developed,
believe, as an offshoot from tbs more
general instinct of gual ding property.
None of the wild species of dog are
known to bark, and therefore we must
conclude that barking is an artificial
instinct, acquired for the purpose of
notifying to his master the presence OF
thieves or enemies. may further OBJ
serve that this instinct of guarding
property extends to tho formation
Of an instructive idea on tho
part of the animal of itself CONSTITUTE
ing part of that property. If, for in
stance, friend gives you temporary
charge of his dog, even although the
dog may never have seen you before,
observing that you are his masters
friend and that his master intends YOU
to take charge of HIM, he Immediately
transfers his allegiance from his master
to you, as to a deputed owner, and will
then follow you through any number of
crowded streets with the utmost conf
dence. Thus, whether we look to the
negative or to the positive influences of
domestication upon the psychology of
the dog, we must conclude that change
has been wrought so profound that the
whole mental constitution of the ami
NAL now presents more express refer
ence to the needs of another and his
enslaving animal than it does to his
own. Indeed,we may say that there is
no one feature in the whole psychology
Of the dog which has been left unal-
tered by the influence of man, except
ing only those instincts which, being
neither useful nor harmful to man have
been subject to his operation such, for
instance, as the instinct for burning
food, turning round to make bed be-
fore lying down, etc. DR.. Romanes in
the Nineteenth Century.

A Significant Item.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
There is a small item of news from
Philadelphia in the front sheet of the
Times this morning which is full of
significance. The house committee on
public land has unanimously decide d
it seems, to report bill poviding that
no alien foreigners shall acquire title
to or own land within the United States.
Such laws as this are, of course. easily
enough lodged, but the proposal is typi-
cal of the growing feeling against the
enormous holdings of land in single
hand, which we have often noted before,
and which will assume proportions large
enough to startle people good deal
The citizens of the United States will
wake up one fine morning to find half
province, say, owned by asingle indi-
vidua], and will stand it no longer. And
when the move comes, it will be the alien
who will first feel the force of the storm.
Even without raising the general ques-
ten of England's future position as
MORTGAGE of half the world, one can
easily see how serious is the prospect
thus opened.
