BE Courteous, Boys.

l treat him as well as he treats
me-" said Hal. His mother had just
reproached him because he did not at
tempt to amuse or entertain a boy
friend who had gone home. 81 often
go in there, and he doesn't notice me-"
said Hal again. DO you enjoy that?"
sob, | don't mind! l don't stay
long" 81 should call myself very
selfish person if friends came to see
me and l should pay no attention to
them" Well, that's different; you're
grown up" "Then you really think
that politeness and courtesy are not
needed among boys?" Hal, thus
pressed, said he didn't exactly mean
that; but his father, who had listened,
now spoke: ga boy or a man who
measures his treatment of others by
their treatment of him has no charac-
ter of his own. He will never be kind
or generous or Christian. If he is
ever to be gentleman, he will be so
in spite of the boorishness of others.
If he is to be noble, no other boys
meanness will change his nature"
And very earnestly the father added
Remember this, my boy, you lower
your own self every time you are
guilty of an unworthy action because
some one else is. Be true to your best
self, and no boy can drag you down. y

A Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
voice is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of a soft heart, and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as a sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels.
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day, at
work, at play, to get and keep a voice
that shall speak at all times the thoughts
of kind heart. But this is the time
when sharp voice is most apt to be
got. You often hear boys and girls say
words at play with quick, sharp tone,
as If it were the snap of a whip. When
one of them gets veXed you will hear a
voice that sounds as if it were made up
of snarl, whine and bark. Such a
voice often speaks worse than the heart
feels. 1t shows more ill-will in the tone
than in the words. 1t is often in mirth
that one gets voice or a tone that is
sharp and sticks to him through life,
stirs up ill-will and grief and falls
like drop of gall on the sweet joys at
home. Such as these get sharp home
voice for use, and keep their best voices
for those they meet elsewhere. l
would say to all boys and girls: I" Use
your guest voice at home.' Watch it
day by day as pearl of great price, for
it will be worth to you in days to come
more than the best pearl hid in the sea.
A kind voice is lark's song to a hearth
and home. 1t is TO the heart what lioht
is to the eye.-JeriSh Messenger.

THIS is the story of eight sisters, liv-
ing near Belfast, Maine. Their mother
is dead, their father is feeble. The
sisters carry on the farm, keep several
cows, horse, four oxen, from three to
five hundred hens, hogs, brood of
ducks and thirteen cats. They get
up their own wood in winter, at which
season only two of them are at home,
the others being employed in Boston
where two of them are teachers in the
public schools. All spend the summer at
home and carry on the farm. - Woman's

A Silence Party.
There was silence deep as death t;
And the boldest held his breath
For time. - CdDDbeH.

And the boldest held his breath
For time Campbell,
We were invited to a silence party
simply to spend the evening by an in
formal note, as follows:
MY DEAR Miss RoGERs-I intend to have
few friends to pass the evening on Tues
day next to meet my sister, Miss Aldrich
and hope you will he able to be one of the
number. | am yours sincerely,
ABBY f. WHITE.
You will notice in the invitation moth
ing was said about what we were to do ::
we were simply invited for the evening.
One of the elements of success of such
party is to have it surprise. AS the
entertainment was given in the country,
we had all assembled by eight o'clock.
When we arrived our host opened the
door, and instead of the merry good
evening we had expected to hear, all
he did was to put his finger on his lips
and say hush" and then pointed to a
sign on the wall, which said, in large
letters, printed on piece of cardboard,
BE quiet, don't wake the babies"
AS there were quite number of chill
dren in the family, we thought at first it
literally meant what it said. So we
were very quiet while removing our

Desserts.

PINEAPPLE ICE.-A can of Lewis
pineapple, one cup of sugar, half a box
OF gelatine, half cup of cold water
and half cup of boiling water. Soak
the gelatine in the half-cup of cold
water, add the boiling water, and when
dissolved strain and mix with the
sugar and pineapple; then freeze.
ORANGE SHERBERT.-Six oranges, or
one pint of juice, with the juice of one
lemon, a cup of sugar, pint of cold
water, three tablespoonful of gelatine,
half cup of cold water. Soak the gela-
tine in the half-cup of cold water, add
the boiling water, and when dissolved
add the sugar, cold water and lemon
and orange juice; strain and freeze.
CHOCOLATE FLoAT.-One quart of
milk, four eggs, one large tablespoonful
of corn-starch, four large table-spoonfuls
of chocolate. Heat the milk in double
boiler. Dissolve the chocolate well
before putting in the boiling milk, add
the well-beaten yolks, half a cup of
sugar and tea-spoonful of vanilla.
Boil about as long as corn-starch
custard. Put on the ice to cool, and
when ready to serve pour into glass
dish, heaping on top the well-beaten
whites. Any one who is fond of
chocolate will be sure to like this dish.
BANANA ICE-CREAM.-Put into a
double boiler pint and half of milk.
When at the boiling point sweeten
with half pound of sugar and thicken
with tablespoonful of arrowroot dis
solved in cold milk. When thick GUS
tard, remove from the stove and put
away to cool. When thoroughly cold,
add pint of cream and six thinly-
sliced bananas. Then freeze. But few
cooks understand the art of freezing
cream, and that, no doubt, is the rea-
son why ice-cream is supposed to be
difficult dessert to prepare. The cream
will not freeze until the ice around it
begins to melt, and the smaller the
pieces of ice the more rapidly the salt
will melt it. Thus snow can very well
be substituted for ice. One of the mis-
takes is to turn the dasher quickly; it
does not hurry the freezing, and only
prevents the cream from being smooth.
Crush the ice finely, use plenty of rock
salt, turn the crank slowly, and your
cream will be frozen in twenty minutes.

Chaucer space will need to be left for
several dates.
So much interest has been expressed
by members of the Hill Country Club
in the studies we are now having that
we will not hurry on, with view of go
ing over the whole subject of English
literature in three months, as was at
first proposed, but will linger a little
over the early history of our language
and literature.
Among the answers received thus far
to the questions for January 80 the
| following are the most complete
Q) The ancestors of the modern En-
glishmen were three tribes of Jutland
or Sleswck, known under the name of
Angles, but sub-divided into SaXons.
Angles and Jutes.
(2) The Angles had been invited over
from their homeland by the Britons to
aid them Ohe Britons) in their strug-
gle against the Scots and Picts, and in
440, under Hengist and Horsa, they
landed on the Isle of Thanet and
marched to the aid of he Britons.
Having subdued the Scots and Picts,
the Saxons turned their arms against
their former allies, and after a long
ontest, which ended in the expulsion
of the Britons, they settled the land,
REINFORCED by fresh bands from the
fatherland
(3) Those who were not slain in the
battles and the massacres which fol-
lowed, or enslaved by the conquerors,
were driven into the Businesses of
Wales and Scotland, and across the sea
to Irel nd, where they maintained the
unequal contest for several centuries

The answer of Crank" is correct.
though not quite so full. Our next
questions will be these:
% When and how did England re-
ceive its name?
(2) What did King Alfred do for his
country and for literature?
(3) What was the Saxon Chronicle?
This question is asked by GA"
"What is the game of logomachy?n
The word logomdchy is from two Greek
words, meaning literally "a war of
words" This name has sometimes
been given to the old game of " Words
and Sentences" known to almost every
one. But the real game of logomachy
is different from that. 1t has only
fifty-six cards, and they are about three
inches long by two in width, each hav-
ing letter of the alphabet conspicuous
upon it. The letters A. E. l. and o
are each found on four cards, and the
other letters of the alphabet on a less
number of cards. Direction for max
ing the game may be found in the
Vide AUake of the present month,
under the head of Ways to do Things"
But one would need the directions for
playing it; and these can hardly be
made ineligible without the cards to
refer to. The game is said to be help
full as well as entertaining, enabling
one to gain facility in the use of words
A dealer in such things says he has sold
more of this game during the last ten
years than of any other except the
game of " Authors" His price is fifty
cents. Yet it can hardly rival the game
of " Words and Sentences in the
adaptibility to all ages which makes
that such pleasant household game,
enjoyed alike by the child just learning
to read, the boys and girls in their teens
and the parents and grandparents in
their tyS

Against the walls that shut thee in
Bruise not thy life. If thou wouldst win
The weary chime
OF changing bells in tuneless strain

Abide thy time.
When pillows high above thee roll
And drifts thy bark from shoal to shoal,
When rue and rhine
Overshadow all thy walk and way,
When hope is bruised in dismay,
Abide thy time.
The longest road will turn at last,
The present soon becomes the past.

All glorious comes the newborn day.

Our &ops ann Girls.
Our Afternoon Ships.
BY MARY n. d. DINgwALL.

Fair ships Of which we never dreamed
Came later on in life.
And Faith is admiral of the fleet
That bears Hope, Love, Contentment sweet
And Rest instead of strife.
Gods promises dispel the night,
Bring DER the sea a radiance bright
And sound of wings.
No earth-born crowd, with envous eye
Only Gods angels fair,
Appreciate life's later gold
The wealth that comes as we grow old
An earnest of our treasure, where
Ambitions fever-throbs shall cease
And all our days be crowned with peace
And heaven our own.

VIVA, do You Think Of a Creamery9

A gentleman who Is now the propri.
etor of four creameries and two diaries
in New Jersey is now in correspond
ence with MIR. c. W. Seyde, with a
view to establishing a creamery In
this vicinity. Mr.. Seyde has written
him In detail in regard to the chances
of successfully operating such an en-
terprise here, and requested him TO
come here aud look the ground over
for himself. Such an establishment
would be very beneficial II located
In one Of our small farming commun-
titles as II would immediately stimulate
the farmers to keep up aud milk o
cows. As IL Is now, there being no
market for the milk and no steady
demand for ranch butter, the rsncher
rarely milks more cows thar Is needed
for his own use, aud the making Of an
occasional lot Of butter to bring to
town when he is coming, but were q
creamery established at any point
here where there is a community of
twenty or thirty rancbers, through
which a daily market for milk would
be provided. the rauchers could easily
add to their herds Of mixers and a
very respectable source Of evenue
opened TO them right at their own
doors. With a market for all their
milk they would quit the making OF
butter in the desultory and unproit-
able way they have been doing 1t, and
the creamery would then supply the
city and surrounding places. The
amount of money sent out of the
country every year to pay for eastern
butter is no uncomfortable item and II
kept at home and circulated among
our own people would help along
amazingly. There is n thing dead
certain. We have got to make a more
decided effort to take care OF ourselves
aud throw of the dependence we have
maintained on eastern producers for
things that we can just as well pro-
ducs as not. We must stop this never
ending stream of hay, grain, -four,
butter. eggs and poultry coming In
from the east, and by doing 70 we also
stop the continuous stream of money
going out to pay for It. IL seems per-
fectly ridiculous that a locality so
abundantly able to supply its own
needs In these article, of produce,
should continue to be dependent on
other places. The Touring mill and
this creamery, II estat lished here, will
stop two leaks. Now let our ranchers
see II they cannot also check the in
coming Of the other articles; possibly
not all at once, but let them make o
beginning.
