Proper Procedure.

Men, when they desire to achieve a
purpose, unite forces, and thus col
lectively accomplish objects far beyond
the reach of individuals singly. Wo-
man scOuld be of incalculable service
and comfort to each other, could they
but get ont OF the narrow and solitary
nut to which time and custom have so
long confined them. They could assist
each other in a thousand helpful FEM
mime ways to overcome the petty an
noyances which infest the domestic
realm. But women are only just be-
ginning to learn the power of organ
lied effort. When they have come to
appreciate its pOwersstO aid. they will
have discovered Il way out of MAN. of
the small difficulties which now hal,-

EMPLOYE AND EMPLOYER
Why They Should Treat Zach Other with
CandOr and Confidence.

! why They Should Treat Each Other with
| CandOr and Confidence.
A child afraid of its parents. a pupil
afraid of the teacher, an employee afraid
OF his employer. are conditions of at
| fairs which show that something is
wrong, and that the wrong is OF i: very
serious nature.
In cases OF employees and employers,
that such a condition should exist is
peculiarly unfortunate. and while it
may be difficult to locate the blame We
believe the employe is more frequently
the one at fault.
In this American country it ought
to be well understood that to become
an employee is not to give up one man
hood.
That young man makes Il terrible
mistake when he cringes and fawns
before an employer as a superior be-
ing who expects servility from his
help. Not one employer in thousand
but who is Disguised at such display,
for he thoroughly understands its
origin. There may be an occasional
employer who plays the part of king,
but they are very rare.
There Is no more reason why an en-
ploye should not be as straightfor-
ward, candid and confident even with
his employer rs with the one who
works by his side. He certainly would
be the gamer by such conduct.
But too often the trouble with Young
America is that he can not be, in GER
tain sense. on familiar terms with his
employer without being pert and un-
civil He is apt to become ..pre-
sumptuOus," which is a sin TO be
prayed over. An employee has certain
duties to perform, and so far as those
duties are concerned he should meet
his employer with confidence and can
dor-that is, if he has done his work
well. The discussion of the relation.
between employee and employer ha.
had wholesome effect, and the sub
]ect is one that will bear frequent re-
vlvals st. L0uis Grocer.

EEEN Oils REVENGE.

How An Old Fellow Got Even with q
Spinster Who Had Tilted Him.
There lived in my childhood home. a
rural district in the West, Il quaint old
fellow named Eben Dill. who was al.
ways doing and saying things that gave
the entire neighbOrhOOd something to
laugh about. My father was justice
of the peace and I have often heard
him tell this story about Uncle Eben,
as he was called:
When well along in middle life Uncle
Eben called ut our house. and. taking
father aside, said in a confidential tone:
''See here. squire. I'm going to git
-,arried. Yes be. I'm tired of gOin
alone an l want you to be home an
marry me off in about-well, say two
weeks from tonight
Very WELL" replied father, ''but
whom are you going to marry?"
"Armildy Drake" replied Eben.
promptly. Mighty nice girl Armildy
is. amt she9"
Miss Drake was such a very nice,
bright, self-reliant spinster that father
was greatly surprised to think that she
had consented to become Mrs. Dill. for
while Eben was good enough as far as
his moral character was concerned, he
was not particularly desirable as a
husband because of his improvident
habits and his marked eccentricities.
After dfvulging his plans at great
length. and enjoining secrecy on father,
Eoen took his departure.
Two weeks from that night. ut about
eight o'clock, Eben drove up to our
door in a rickety old buggy with his
bride by his side. They came into the
house hand in hand. and when the
bride removed her vail the face re
vealed was not that of Miss Drake, but
that of Miss Cynthia Matilda Stout, q
homely. aged and by no means hand
some spinster, who was known to be OF
shrewish temperament.
Father married them, and meeting
Eben the next day. asked him to ex-
plain matters.
..Oh, that uppish Armildy Draker'
he said, scornfully; ''ketch me marry
in her! / went round last week and
told her bout my plans, an do you
reckon shed have me? Not q bit of it!
No, sir; not after I'd gone to all the
trouble Of gettin' ready"
Hadn't you said any thing to her
about Is besOre?'' asked father.

Let us. then, refuse our consent to such
a revolutionary proposition.
Some women say: 1--WE have I.o'
time to do our domestic work and to
take care, Of our children. DO not lay
on us this additional burden OF public
duty But women have rs much time
as men. The omen whom l know who
do the most for the public. in hospitals
in education. in charitable institutions,
often do quite as much at home as
other women. 1t is not time that Is
wanted in this world, it is power. And
whatever enlarges. elevates and edu-
Gates women will give her so much
more power that she will do her do
nestle work as easily as now, and pub
lie work besides.
The meaning of this movement Is that
it shall admit the influence OF woman
into public life, as it has already been
admitted into literature. into society.
into the church. Would any one desire
that woman should withdraw from these
spheres of activity? Would we say to
Florence Nightingale and Helen ellison:
1.-The field Of battle is not your sphere.
Go home and take care of your family:?'
Would we say to Mrs. Stowe: do not
write any more books. Go home. and
take care OF your household" Would
we say to Rose BOnheur: ''Do not paint
pictures: cook the dinner?" Would we
shut women out of our schools. out of
our churches. and tell them to learn ut
home. and ask their husbands what the
minister said. as Paul directed? Every
step thus far taken to enlarge the sphere
of woman has been benefit to her, TO
man, and to society. What good reason
can be given for stopping here?
Political questions do not mean mere
ly questions of finance, of currency, of
tariffs, of railroads. Moral questions
are involved. and deeply involved. in
all politics. If women had had a voice
in legislation years ago. would slavery
have been allowed to grow stronger
and stronger, till at last it could only
be uproOted by an awful war? Dove
men wish-is any woman willing-that
there should ever be another war? If
women in Europe had political influ-
ence and direction. would they allow vast
armies to take away their brothers and
sons year after year. for no purpose but
to feed the ambition of rulers? Do not
women know the evils of intemper>
ance? Would not they, if their tact
and intuitions had gone into politics,
have devised some better way than man
has done to eXtricate us from this gree
source of crime and misery?
We can not overestimate the impon
ance of mothers and wives in their
homes. or the great work they have to
do there. Only say that they would
not do their work less well, but more
by enlarging their sphere.
opening their minds. and helping their
husbands and sons in public affairs.
One can fulfill all lowly duties by rising
to the highest, as the lark
scars and sings in the upper air, and
then drops down again into his nest:
TYPE of the wise, who soar. but never roam,
True to the kindred points Of Heaven aud

HINTS ON COOKING.
Why All Vegetables Should BE Paced In
Boiling Water.


Boiling Water.
When we wish to extract juices from
any thing we put in cold water and let
it gradually reach the boiling point, SO
! when we wish the viands to retain
their juices and use the water only as
a medium for cooking them the Oppo-
site course must be pursued. Starch
enters largely into the composition of
many vegetables, and on the preva-
lence of this element depends the d.
gestibility of the vegetable. To free
this element and have it thoroughly
incorporate itself with the other ele-
ments in the vegetable great amount
of heat is necessary, and hence it is
that all vegetables should be put down to
cook in boiling water. Some authori-
ties claim tina even though the water
is boiling it extracts considerable of
the starch. and therefore the nutritive
clement, and that steam is the only
agent that should be employed in cook.
ing many varieties. potatoes, for in
stance. There are as many opinions
against as for this method, and while it
undoubtedly seems probable, still equal
ly good results have been obtained from
the older method. Chemists say that
potatoes should always be boiled in
their jackets, as there are various ele-
ments detrimental to the wholesome
ness of the vegetable that are absorbed
by the skin, and that potatoes that are
peeled before boiling retain some Of
these elements. Those who are accus-
toned to have the potatoes peeled be-
fore being boiled think they have a Pc
culiar taste if boiled in their skins. OF
course it is all the effect of imagination,
but no amount of talking will convince
them of that fact, SO if the potatoes have
to be peeled see that quite thick slice
is taken of, because there is very bit
ter acid lodged in cells quite near the
skin. and you must get rid Of as much
of this as possible. The water, Of
course, draws most of this out, but II
is not as effective as the absorbent M
ture has provided. Soft water should
be used in cooking vegetables, and the
only way city folks can soften water lie
to add . little salt to it. Six or eight
potatoes will need teaspoonful OF salt
added to the water; t,lrnips and par
ships require about the same-that is.
teaspoonful of salt to quart d
water. If any scum should happen Il
rise to the surface when the vegetables
are boiling it must be carefully skimme

THE ARMY WORM.

Facts About the American Farmer'p No.
Destructive Enemy.
When first Matched they are of q
whitish color, walk like loopers and
drop. suspended by a silken cord when
disturbed. They go out in the night
to feed. returning to the place where
Matched to spend the day. The travel
ing OF the worms in large armies is
abnormal. During the whole year, in
regions subject to their incursions, the
worms may be found in grass fields,
feeding in the normal cut-worm man
ner. Only when SO abundant that the
food in the vicinity is destroyed do
they march in search of further sup
plies. The larval life extends over q
period of about twenty-five days, dur
ing which they pass through five
molts. AS they pass the winter in the
larval state the last brood must live
four or five months.
When marching as an army they are
truly an army of devastation, and their
numbers can not be calculated. They
will scarcely turn aside for any thing
but water, and even shallow water
courses will scarcely check their prog.
ress, for the advance columns will
rush headlong into the water until
they have so choked it up with their
dead that their followers can cross up
on their bodies. Many wonderful
stories are told of these innumerable,
destructive armies. Their history is
an interesting one and would fill vol
umes. Prof. Riley thinks that in tho
Northern States there are three, posi-.
bly, four broods. in a year, while in the
Southern States there may be more.
The second brood. just before wheat
harvest, appears to be the most numer-
GUS and destructive.
The army worm has a great many
natural enemies among birds and
fowls, which will destroy immense
numbers. They also have numerous
parasites. A great many means have
been resOrted to in order to arrest
their progress. To burn over old
grass fields in winter that have been
visited by them will destroy great
numbers of larvae. They are very
likely to follow dry seasons in their
greatest numbers. They may be pre-
vented from passing from one field to
another by ditching. They may be de-
stroyed by burning straw over them.
Coal oil will block their passage.
busting the grass ahead of them with
paris green mixed with flour or plas-
ter will poison great numbers, and we
are inclined to think that persistently
followed up, it is one of the best RENE
dies that can be applied. Boston
