THE WIFE.

To the farmers wife there comes no
time for vacation unless she takes 1t and
is willing. to slet things go" while she is
away. Lucky the wife whose husband
is of the same mind, and they can start
off together with the team; taking an
outing in true farmer fashion. Don't
take any burdens along leave them at
home, and you will find them greatly
lightened when you return. Get all the
rest you can in visiting other homes
whose duties are like your own, and
greater perhaps, with the added care OF
babies and the younger children. Moth.
ing lightens our own burdens more than
giving a cheerful word to others whose
lot is harder than our own. 1t is aston
ishing how easily we can see the silvery
lining to our neighbours cloud, and give
them a glimpse Of it also if we try, when
our own clouds seem so dense and des-
pairing. Friends, don't look forever at
your clouds, but try to see the lining OF
silver each is sure to have or, better
still, only the sunshine above them that
is positively there, whether we see it or
not. Don't let our home duties over
whelm us keep out of the ruts, and life
will run smooth again. Make our bur-
lens as light as possible by no %unneces-
airy labors, and carry them bravely along.
Don't drag them after you. A cheerful
spirit and a song makes labor light and
easy.
Toll is a blessing, if not exc~essive--and
many of us al ' in fault if it is excessive.
But few women really know how to
tighten their labor they do many things
the hardest way, and never know it. II
cooking is a profession, surely house
keeping ought to be also, and how few
ome are really naturally adapted to
the bus ness. What wonder is it, then,
that they toll at it until their health
gives way and their lives become burdens.
/ call to mind two friends, the one a ma
tural housekeeper. Every part of the
home in order and cosy, every cast-oft
garment of the family utilized, and even
bought, a certain color, for cutting up in
to rugs when old. Nothing is wasted !;
every season has it's duties even to the
days of the week, and the home mother
is never hurried by her work she hur-
ries her work. The other one is a house
keeper, simply because of being a wife
and a mother--not for the love of it.
While seemingly not hurried, she is al
ways catching up with duties belonging
to weeks ago. Her work drives her in
stead of she driving the work. Both are
farmers wives. pity M while envy
the other.-~Deer Ridge Farm, Los Gatos,

CUP PLUM

Take one cup of raisins, cur
rents: -four, bread-crumbs, suet and
sugar; stone and cut the raisins,
wash and dry the currents, chop
the suet and mix all the above in
gradients well together; then add
two ounces of cut candied peel and
citron, and a little mixed spice, salt
and vinegar-say half a teaspoonful
of each, stir in four we'll beaten
eggs, and milk enough to make the
mixture so that the spoon will stand
upright in it tie it loosely in a cloth
or put it in a mould, plunged it into
boiling water, and boil for three and
a half hours.
BREAD JELLY.
Bread jelly is a simple delicacy
which comes under the head of
cookery for invalids, and is thus
prepared: Take French roll, cut it
into thin slices and toast them on
both sides to a golden brown; then
put them into a saucepan with a
quart of water (spring water, if it
a be had), and simmer over the
fire until they become a sort of a
jelly. To tell when this stage is
reached, take up a little on a spoon
and allow it to cool. When done
strain it through a thin cloth
and flavor it with a little lemon
juice and sugar. A little sherry
may be added if liked.-The Caterer.
CHICKEN PIE.
\ Cut up two small chickens and
put them in a saucepan with one
quarter Of a pound of salt pork cut
in thin slices, adding salt and pep
per. Cover with water and sim
mer until done; then set aside until
cold. Make a paste of one quart
Of flour. with which is mixed two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two
large tablespoonfuls of clarified beef
drippings or butter, half a table
spoonful of salt, and half a teacuptuI
Of granulated sugar. Mix together
and moisten with sweet milk until
a soft dough is formed. Roll out
half the dough and line a well-but-
tered tin pan with it. Fill with the
chicken and broth. adding a table
spoonful Of butter. Set an inverted
cup in the centre, roll out the other
half of the paste and cover the pan
with it. Make a large incision in
the middle of the paste and press
the sides of the upper and lower
crusts we'll together.

HOW WOMEN PUT ON SHOES

When a woman has a new pair of
shoes sent home she performs alto
gether different from a man. She
never shoves her toes into them and
yanks and hauls until she is red in
the face and out of breath, and then
goes stamping around, but pulls
them on part way very carefully,
witches them off again to take a
last look and see if she has got the
right one, puts them on again, looks
at them dreamily, says they r just
right, then takes another look, stops
suddenly to smooth out the wrinkle,
twists around and surveys them
sideways, exclaims: Mercy, how
loose they are!' looks at them square
in front, works her feet around 40
they won't hurt quite 40 much, takes
them off. looks at the heels, the toe,
the bottom, and then inside, puts
them on again, walks up and down
the room once or twice, remarks to
her better half she won't have themat
any price, tits down the mirror SO
she can see how they look, turns in
every possible direction, and nearly
dislocates her neck trying to see
how they look from that way, backs
off, steps up again, takes thirty or
forty farewell looks, says they make
her feet look awful big and will new
er do in the world, puts them off
and on three or four times more,
asks her husband what he thinks
about it, and pays no attention to
what he says, goes through it all
again, and finally says she will take
them. 1t is a very simple matter,
indeed.

TREES AND THEIR HEIGHT.-Meas-
off a distance from the foot of
the tree which the experimenter
may think is a little less than the
length of the tree, and stand facing
the tree with a staff of such length
that it may be stuck into the ground
until the top is on a level with the
eyes. Then lie down. on the back
with the feet against the foot of the
staff, the head being in a straight
line away from the tree. It will be
understood at once that the line of
vision, passing just over the top of
the staff, will strike the tree exactly
the same distance from the ground
that the eyes are from the foot of
the tree. OF course, it is presumed
that the tree is straight and that
the direction selected to form the
bottom of the right angle is level.
It is easier to obtain these condi-
tions by this process than by COM
putting from shadows, asany side of
the tree may be chosen.

WHY SOME BOYS LEAVE.

why do the boys leave the FARM"
walls a writer in All agricultural pa
per. Well, dear brother. there are
several reasons. One is because the
boy is not sixty-five years old at his
birth. Then, fthere is a hoe on the
farm weighing fourteen ounces,
bright as nickel and sharp as arazor,
and another weighing somewhat
less thon a breaking plough, with an
edge on it like a hammer and a sap
plihg with the bark on it for a han
die, the hired man takes n and the
boy gets the other, and every man
in America knows which is the 9TH
err. Did you ever stand with such a
hoe in your hands away down in a
corn row, on some a~irless, still, hot
summer day, twenty acres of corn
blades and tassels whiting about you,
standing fourteen inches higher than
your head, shutting out every last
trace of breathable air, and then
hear a locust down in the edge of
the timber strike up his long, stri-
dent, monotonous call to make it
ten times hotter? And all this time
a cool creek, not a mile away, loiter-
ing in deep, silent pools in shady
places in the woods, OF breaking into
merry dancing ripples over the peh-
bles? And in the the big deep holes
the fish just lying around, lonesome
for a boy? We'll. then, you know
why some boys leave the farm.
Still, boys can be kept on the farm
and made to stay there all their
lives. You drive a long spike
through a boys abdomen and
through q live oak tree, and clinch
or bolt it on either side, and then
saw off the boys legs and break his

LAW AND PHYSIC.
The Judge Rather Gets the Doctors
Arkansaw Traveller.

Several years ago, while the peo-
pie Of west Tennessee were alarmed
at the approach of yellow fever,
Judge +. convened court at Bolivar.
Court had been but a few days in
session when the reports from Mem
phis caused additional excitement.
There were many witnesses atten-
dant upon court, and, very naturally,
they importuned the Judge to per-
nit them to go home. The business
part Of the community, willing to
run any risk for the sake of trade,
declared that the scare was unnc-
cessary, and that the disease was
not yellow fever. A number of ply
s%icians, with, it appears, nor learn
ing than Judgment, repaired to the
courtroom and assured the Judge
that no danger of an epidemic was
to be apprehended.
"The disease" said one of the
medical gentlemen, "is not yellow
fever, but is zipuporastory.'
"You are wrong DOCTOR said an
other physician, "for investigation
proves it to be posurentiscait."
mo-" said another doctor, "you
r both wrong. I admit that it is
not yellow fever, and that it can
never become an epidemic, but it is
nothing more or less than an exag-
gerated type of costinetordigji."
Then there arc a heated discus
sion in which the Judge was unable
to take part. He waited patiently
until the discussion cooled down,
then, turning to the officers, said
II have been much entertained by
the discussion which you gentlemen
have SO ably conducted. / do not
pretend to say what the disease is,
for l am not versed in such sciences.
1t may be acute jehossiphat, exag-
gerated pollywog, inflammatory Jim
crow, or a mild type of e pluribus
unum, but there's one thing I do
know. It's id ketchin', and I'm
going to adjourn this court"
