& Mistaken Father,

Many father directs all his affection and
anxiety for his children into the one channel
Of accumuiating wealth, in the face Of the
fact that golden doors do not shut out death
and sickness, nor do they shut in cheerful
ness and oaatentment. Poverty is sorrow,
but wealth. IS not happiness. Moreover, IN
America fortunes are made so rapidly and
lost SO Unexpectedly that man cannot be
sure OF 3 competency for even few years,
and none can be confident of securing wealth
to his children throughout the whole of their
lives But it is possible for every man Of
means TO give his children an equivalent of
wealth which no change of fortune can
affect, end which shall guarantee to girl or
boy certain competency.
To educate a child 50 that she can, If neces-
sary, be self supporting, is the plain duty of
every parent, rich or poor. a woman who
can face the world and feel herself equal to
any fate that may befaN her, is richer than
If she possess, instead, fortune in govern

One Womau,s Clever Scheme.

One New York woman has clever scheme
ON which she ought to be able to secure a
patent, or at any rate copyright. When
she makes fancy work or other adornnent
for her home, she makes two of each article.
One she puts in her rooms and the other she
lays away. 'Then," she says, Il notice
which particular thing each OF my friends
seems to admire the most, and at Christmas
or birthdays or times like that / present the
friend with the duplicate Of the article she
has most admired OF course it isn't neces-
sary for me to mention that / had it made
all the time and laid away waiting for some
one to give it to, but never tell any one
that made it especially for her. Almost
every one has different taste, so that it is
rare that two persons admire the same
thing, and my Sc. Of duplicates generally
goes around pretty well among ny friends.

Hints On Jelly Making.

Failures in jelly making are due to several
causes: One, the fruit, which Iney have been
too sweet and not freshly picked, or the Jelly
may have been boiled just little too long.
The latter is the most frequent canse Of fail
TIRE Some kind Of fruit, Gnd tAat very fresh
and nicely prepared. jellies quickly, perhaps
after ten minutes boiling, ind II boiled past
this point will never again coa.,nlate. Over
boiling causes the juice to lose its property
Of gelatinizing, and produces mucilaginous
or gunny substance.
If the fruit seems to yield larger quantity
of juice than usual, On extra ounce or two Of
sugar should BE- used, as tin given amount
will not be sufficient to absorb the natural
water in the fruit, and the jelly VIII not be
gelatinous, and viii remain a syrup, even
after long continuous boiling. The second
boiling seldom does any good The only safe
way is to begin to Try the Jelly after five
minutes boiling. Put a teaspoonfuI into
saucer, place it on the ice for moment to
cool. II Jelly like film forms quickly over

IS done.
The cookery Of Jelly is difficult, and de-
serves more attention than it usually re-
oeives. The following recipe may be applied
to all kinds Of fruits:
Select currants that have been freshly
picked and are not too ripe. II they are
sandy. wash, but do not stem Mash a small
quantity at @ time in stone jar with O
wooden potato masher; squeeze through a
coarse bag and then drip again through

juice may be perfectly clear. Measure it
and turn il into porcelain kned kettle
Stand over brisk FIRE and boi rapidly for
twenty minutes. Put the sugar, allowing
one pound to every pins Of juice, in earthen

very unusual, boil it rapidly for minute or
