JESSIE MILLER's RECIPE FOR CHRISTMAS
CANDY.
Jessie is the fourteen-year- old daughter
of the attorney general, and is especially
proud of the candy, because the President
has eaten it and the boys at school where
her brother IS say it is the best they have
tasted.
No one will be able to make it, as Miss
Jessie says most of the recipe is in her
head. This is the way she tells it:
A cup of brown sugar, cup of black
molasses, and big piece of butter. Don't
use confectioner's sugar, or it won't be
sticky enough and will taste just like the
kind you buy. Try it by blowing
through curled broom splint and by
tasting. 1t is two kinds of candy. If you
pull it it is taffy; if you don't it's butter
scotch.

THE CHRISTMAS COD FISH BALLS OF THE CHIEF
JUSTICE.


JUSTICE.
The favorite breakfast dish in the chief
Justices family on Christmas morning
are cod fish balls. They will be made in a
way undreamed of. Mrs. Fuller learned
the art when bride visiting the chief
Justices Maine home. Two of his old
aunts taught her. She prefaces the recipe
with an injunction that the cod fish should
be carefully picked. Here 1t is:
Equal parts of cod fish and mashed po-
tatoes, thoroughly mixed with cooked red
beets chopped fine. Mold into balls, brown
in the fat of salt pork, and garnish with
the crisp bits of fried pork"
Mrs Justice Field was a Maryland girl,
and she gives recipe that speaks of the
old days of hospitality. 1t is egg nogg, or
the greeting cup" and in Maryland and
Virginia houses is sent around Christmas
morning to every room before breakfast.
She writes it out for me.
MARYLAND EGG-NoGG.
"One gallon of milk; one dozen of eggs.
Divide the yolks from the whites, and beat
them. Add tifteen tablespoonfuls of sugar,
one grated nutmeg, one pint of brandy, one
pint of Jamaica rum. Beat the yolks and
sugar until light, add the brandy and rum,
stirring constantly. Last of all put in one
gallon of milk, or cream, and cover with
the beaten whites of the eggs"
Mrs. Field also gives the method of pre-
pairing turkey for Christmas feast:
''The turkey should be cooped up and fed
well some time before Christmas. Three
days before it is slaughtered, it should
have an English walnut forced down the
throat three times day, and glass of
sherry wine once day. The meat will be
deliciously tender and have a nutty
flavor"

The Pleasures of Editing.

Editing paper, says a provincial
editor is pleasant thing. If it con-
tains too much political matters, peo-
pie won't have it; if it contains too
little, they won't have it. If the type
is too large it doesn't contain enough
reading matter; if the type is too small
they can't read it. If telegraph reports
are published, some folks say they are
nothing but hashes up; if they are
omitted, they say there is want of
enterprise. If we put in few jokes,
people say we are nothing but rattle
head ; if we omit jokes, they. say we
are an old fossil. five publish origin
al matter, they condemn us for not
giving them selections if we publish
selections, folks say we are lazy for
not giving them what they have not
read in some other paper. If we give
a man complimentary notices we are
censured for being partial if we do
not, all hands say we are great
boor. If we insert an article that
pleases the ladies, men become jealous;
if we do not cater to their wishes, the
paper is not fit to be in their houses
If we attend church, they say it is
for effect; if we do not, they denounce
us as deceitful and desperately wicked.
If we speak well Of any act, folks say
we dare not do otherwise; if we cen
sure they call us traitor. If we re-
main in our office and attend to bust
ness, folks say we are too proud tC
mingle with our fellows; if we &C
about a bit, they say we had better
stay at home and get on with oul
work. If we do not pay all bill
promptly, folks say we are not to BE-
rusted if we do pay promptly, the.
say we stole the money.

Finish Your Jobs.

Many persons seem to be always in
a hurry, and yet never accomplish
much; others never seemed to be hur-
ried, and yet do very great deal. If
you have fifty letters to answer, don't
waste too much time in looking over to
find which one should be noticed first ;
answer the one you first lay hands on,
and then go on through the whole pile
as fast as possible.
Some begin thing and leave it
partially completed and hurry off to
something else A better plan is to
complete whatever you undertake be-
fore you leave it, and be thorough in
everything, The going back and forth
from one thing to another wastes valu-
able time.
Another thing: deliberate workers
those who accomplish the most work in
a given time, and less tired at the end
than many who have accomplish hall
as much. The hurried worker has
often to do his work twice over; and,
even then, it is seldom done in the best
manner, either for neatness or dura
bility. 1t is the deliberate and meas
ured expenditure of strength which in
vigorates the constitution and builds
up the health. Multitudes Of firemer
have found an early death; while thu
plough-boy lives healthy and lives long
going down to his grave beyond three
score and ten,

A Beautiful Father.

"Tell your mother you've been very
good boys to-day" said school-teachel
to two little new scholars.
"Oh," replied Timothy, we hasn't
any mother"
"Who takes care of you ?" she asked
Father does. We've got a beauti-
full father You ought to see him!"
"Who takes all the care of you when
he is at work ?"
''He takes all the care before he
goes off in the morning and after he
comes back at night. He's house
painter, but there isn't any work this
Winter, so he's doing laboring until
Spring comes"
"He leaves us warm breakfast
when he goes off, and we have bread
and milk for dinner, and good supper
when he comes home, then he tells us
stories and plays on the fife, and cuts
out beautiful things for us with his
jack knife You ought to see our
father and our home, they are both so
beausiful."
Before long that teacher did see that
home and that father. The room was
a poor attic, graced with cheap pictures
Autumn leaves and other little trifes
that cost nothing. The father, who
was preparing the evening meal for his
motherless boys, was, at first glance,
only rough, begrimmed laborer but
before the stranger had been in the
place ten minutes the room became
palace and the man a magician.
His children had no idea they were
poor, nor were they SO with such hero
as this to fight their battles for them.
This man, whose graceful spirit lighted
up the otherwise dark life of his child
rem, was preaching to all about him
more efectually than was many man
in sacerdotal robes in costly temple
He was a man of patience and submis-
sion to Gods will, showing how to
make home happy under the most I'M
favorable circumstances. He was
rearing his boys to put their shoulders
to the burdens of life, rather than to
become burdens to others in the days
that are coming.
He was, as his children had said, "a
beautiful father" in the highest sense
Of the word.

THE SETTLING UP IS CERTAIN.


You may take the world as it comes and goes,
And you will be sure to find
That it will square the account she owes
Whoever comes out behind.
And all things bad that man has done,
By whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him, one by one,
As the chickens come home to roost
You may scrape, and toll, and pinch and save,
While your boarded wealth expands,
Till the cold dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life's last sands:
You will have your balances struck some night,
And you'll find your hoard reduced
You'll view your life in another light
When the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint your soul and starve your heart
With the husks of barren creed,
But Christ will know if you play part,
Will know in your hour of need
And then as you wait for death to come,
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed You will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will, there's time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell
And every wrong will find it place,
And every passion loosed
Drift back and meet you face to face
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you're over or under the sod,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hands OF God
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on the marble slab,
When the items are all produced
You'll find that St, Peter was keeping tab,
And that chickens come home to roost.
