and sufficient -four to give them consistency.
Drop in large spoonfuls into boiling lard or
drippings, and fry nice brown. Canned
corn may be used.
IT lisa great mistake to puton making cur.
rant jelly till the end of the season, for the
best jelly is made of currants not perfectly
ripe. To keep a light color in jelly, care
should be taken not to cook the sugar too
long, as this will darken the fruit and cause
it to candy
Brown SUGAR SAUCE Two tablespoonful
of -four mixed with one tablespoonful Of but
ter, added to one and one-half cupfuls OF
boiling water. Boil together one minute
and add one and one-haf cupfuls of brown
sugar and cook three minutes, and add a
little grated nutmeg.
JML1Es should stand open day or two
after being put into glasses, that the
moisture may evaporate, but they should be
protected from the dust. If thin, let them
stand in the SUMS rays. In day or two cut
papers to fit the glasses; dip these in brandy,
alcohol or the white Of an egg, and press
them closely on top Of the jelly.

EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

Too Much Culture Will Enlarge the Band
of Confirmed Bachelors.
Charles Dudley Warner in not I'M
kindly fashion suggests that not enough
care is taken to make young ladies in
teresting nowadays. In the eagerness
to become educated, girls neglect the
cultivation of those qualities which
Mr.. Warner regards as being the chief
charm of women, and which we may
sum in the two words, feminine fasci-
nation. Mr.. Warner, like most men of
ideal sentiment, shrinks from the wom-
an whose blue stockings are her con-
spicuous feature, or who sends power
fully intellectual gaze through double
extra eyeglasses. Man, WHO has found
it necessary to sharpen his intellect and
harden his mind in order to keep
we'll in the race, is rather averse to the
musculining process to which woman
has subjected herself SO determinedly
in these days of cult and Kant.
Women are becoming learned, phil
fec of much that gives them empire.
They become oppressive instead of in
teresting in a continual string of know
ledge from which man hopes to escape
when he exchanges the cares or serious
hours for the re laxation and refreshing
zest of society. Comparatively few
women are interesting for more than
half hour at a time; many are agreeably
entertaining for ten or fifteen minutes;
but what proportion have the inesti-
mable virtue Of being interesting to
the men who meet them daily, hourly,
throughout a course of years?
It is much more difficult learning
how to be interesting than it is to get
smattering of Greek, German, French,
literature and art; it is much easier to
acquire faculty for discoursing
learnedly than it is to talk agreeably
and exercise the charm of an interest
ing personality. An irritating old
cynic at an evening party asked Of his
hostess: What has become of all the
women? I only meet petticoated pro-
fessors nowadays. But there are
plenty of women left in the world who
strive to and do make life inte1 esting
sweetly, hopefully interesting, and
many of them could not tell the differ
ence between poem of Browning and

the blow had stricken Clarice with sort of

Indifferent to every thing save her own
misery. He compassionated her deeply
though there was thrill of triumph min
gled with his better feeling. Surely, he
could, in time, make her happy; she would
not go on caring for her false husband for

and, some day, in return for his own untir-

hopeless despair

into sudden. keen, bitter remembrance. It
was horrible mockery of her misery Per-

For few iustants Clarice, overcome by
the rush of returning memory, could not
answer to his question. It was no longer
her home since love had fied-merely a
luxurious dwelling where she was housed

promised to shield and honor her And
this was the manner in which he had full
filled his vow ! Yearly, hopelessly, she
lifted her eyes to the Counts and gasped
out the words:

other places are the same"

Science for the Million.

Nowadays when a man travels there is
no reason, if he visits some country that
has not been exhausted, why he should
not bring back many solid and accurate
facts of scientific value, even though he
may lack extended training in science.
Both the English and the Germans have
comprehensive hand books compiled by
the most notable authorities, giving the
traveller manifold hints how to make his
wanderings useful to the world. They
show MIN in the simplest possible manner
the methods of making route maps, Of
ascertaining most easily and accurately
the width and velocity of rivers, the
height of mountains, ATTITUDES, ~longitudes
and SO on. They point out the facts no
needs to observe to give biologists tho
c~learest idea of the physical structure of
a country. They show him how to make
and preserve collections in natural his
tory, supply hints on surveying and pho
Biography, and tell him just what to do to
make his observations valuable.
If, in addition to those hints, he desires
preliminary instruction and practical
field training, ample provisions to meet
his wants have been supplied by the
geographical societies in London, Paris
and Berlin, where at moderate cost lin
London only two shillings and ~sixpence
an hour he is drilled in surveying and
mapping, geology, including field train
ing, geological survey, botany, and pho
Biography. This is all the preliminary
training that many of our most eminent
explorers, including Stanley, have re-
ceived. Many ingenious devices and ex-
pedients nave also been invented to facili-
tate the work of the explorer, of which
we need only mention hero the French
color plates, each tint having its own
number, by means of which the traveller
is able to give far more accurate idea of
the color of the people he meets than he
could convey by any description. The
invention of dry plates in photography
also has been o great boon to explorers

AS a whole nation we are not greatly
concerned to inquire into the prospects of
African commerce. We are not bound
to consider closely whether good or bad
trade will be the outcome of the recent
agreement between France, Germany,
and Great Britain on the affairs of Ban
zibar, or what will be the trade results of
our own recent great acquisition of ex-
elusive influence in the southern parts of
the country. 1t must yet be borne in
mind that trade questions are themselves
intimately bound up with the rescue of
the African from his tyrants; seeing that
commerce, rs it is at present conducted
in many parts of Eastern Central Africa,
even hat larger kind of commerce with
which the white man eventually deals at
the sea coast emporia, necessarily
involves the employment of slaves as
carriers.
In roadless regions inhabited by people
who are too primitive to breed cattle,
and where belts of country infested by
the tsetse fly have to be crossed, none
but human beasts of burden can bear the
products of industry. An elephant may
be killed a thousand miles from the
coast, and each tusk is the burden of a
negro slave to the nearest seaport, while
it will have taken three or four negroes
to carry the calico required to pay the
elephant hunter in the interior. Slavery
and slave carriage is therefore at present
a necessary incident of trade in many
parts of Africa. 1t is evident that If
civilized modes of carriage are once es-
tablished in the German and English
''spheres of influence, " slave borne traffic
will give way to cheaper and more
speedy conveyance by road, by rail, or
BY navigable iver.-Nineteenth Century.

How I. Panorama Is Painted.

The popular idea of how the war cy-
cloramas, like the Battle of Gettysburg,
Battle of Shiloh, Battle of ~Chlckamauga,
etc., are painted appears very
To a person who knows how the work Is
accomplished. The Battle'of Gettysburg
and the Siege of Paris have been shown
for several years on opposite sides of
Hnbbard court, in Chicago, and the stock
Maid large dividends. Each was adver-
tised as the work of celebrated French
artists, father and son, and the popular
idea is that these gentlemen painted them.
The fact is that, beyond a general out
lining of the work, which was probably
faithfully made after maps procured from
authentic sources and a general direction
of the plan of the work, the artist in.
chief had very little to do with it. No
man engaged in a battle sees it, and an
accurate painting of two armies in COM
bat is impossible. The general features
only are known. For instance, in the
Gettysburg painting there are accurately
defined the roads, Crown Hill, Little Crown
Hill, the wheat field in which a memorable
charge was made, one or two buildings
which were headquarters of the leading
generals, and with reasonable accuracy,
the topography of the country is de-
picted with excellent perspective. But
the details of the battle, the actual clash
of arms between this and that division
or brigade, is left a good deal to the
imagination.
The artist-in-chief hires some men to
put in the sky, other men to put in the
trees and foliage, other men to put in
the men in action. Attention is paid to
developing this or that memorable Incl
dent, as in the Gettysburg painting, the
death of the c%annoneer, the amputation
of the soldiers limb beside the haystack.
Take it all together, it makes up a
picture that is thrilling enough to arouse
the most intense interest on the part of
the old soldier. 1 remember standing by
the side of a veteran at the Chicago
picture of Gettysburg. He was explain
ing to a companion the details of the
fight, in which he had borne an honor
able part. ''Say Bill, " said he, Sat that
stone wall there 1 lost my hat, and, by
gosh, if there amt the old hat lying
there yeti" In painting pictures of bat
ties shrewd artists never fail to bestrew
the field with lost hats, muskets and
canteens.-Artist in Globe Democrat.
