HOW TO LIVE WISELY.

took her hand and we went to tea.'
HOW TO LIVE WISELY.
suppose it requires the experience of
lifetime to teach US how to live wisely.
We must have the knowledge of our own
personal experience before we can become
wise-must pay the penalty of broken
laws before we learn to observe the laws
that govern our own personal being. Step
by step, generation by generation, the
world advances, slowly climbing to loftier
nights of knowledge and to clearer Wis
ions. In many things we are wiser than
our fathers. We reason more directly
from cause to effect, and do not attempt SO
frequently to lay the onus of our wrong
doing upon the shoulders of Providence.
But there are many things for us to learn
yet. Our life is ours. 1t belongs to us.
1t Is ours to make the most of; to use
wisely; to enjoy. How shall we do it? Is
great culture necessary? Is wealth essen
tall Cam we build up anything really
grand or beautiful without these to build
upon? / think we can. incline to the
opinion of the w-iter who said: 81 put
good health as the very first requisite for
life of usefulness and happiness; the
cornerstone in the grand structure of a
noble womanhood. To strive for perfect
health should be the first duty of Chris
tian. Someone may demur at this and
put Christian character at the helm, but |
fa.v, haf L.,y Io-x
Christian character without good health.
Many blemish of temper that is charged
to the natural depravity of the human
heart can be laid to disordered digestion
and superabundance of carbonic acid
gas" Our individual experience will at
test the truthfulness of this assertion.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
Is necessary to perfect spiritual health. A
deoeased body is fearful clog to the
higher spiritual life. 1t will soil and de-
face and drag it down. 1t will sooner or
later deform or dwarf it. For this reason,
physiology is as essential study as the
ology. A correct knowledge of it is as
necessary TO our weii-beigig Net shMI
think that the interests of this life COM
pare in Importance with the undying in
terests of the next, but it is question in
my mind whether we shall ever be led to
seriously consider the higher interests of
the future if we are Indifferent to or ig-
more those of the present If the sins of
commission were placed over against those
of omission, am inclined to think that
the latter might overbalance those of the
former. If we are to be held responsible
not only for what we are but what we
might have been, who can estimate the
awful measure of that responsibility
And what an obstacle to the might
have-been of life, and to character, to
mental growth and spiritual advancement
is weak and ailing body. There is more
loss, more violation of our weightiest OBJ
legations in the disregard to the laws that
govern our physical being than the care
less thinker has ever dreamed of The
laws of health should be one of the studies
of home. Mothers, as far az you are able,
train your children to a careful knowledge
of the laws of health, so that their bodies
NAV become fitting temples for the in
dwelling of the life that is "hid in Christ"
REQUISITES FOR HEALTH.
Simple, Wholesome, well-cooked food is
one of the first requisites for health. The
following receipts are wholesome and in
viting:
Bouillion of Beef-Take six pounds of
round beef, all in one piece, three carrots,
two onions, handful of cabbage sprouts,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, cut up in
little flour, sweet herbs, table mustard
one teaspoonful, four quarts of water.
Cover the beef with water and cook slowly
one hour. Cut the herbs in strips and
cook slowly in salted water for twenty
minutes throw this water away and skim
the soup we'll and add the vegetables.
Stew all slowly two hours. Take out the
beef and brown slowly in good oven
Take half the vegetables from the pot and
keep warm. Rub the rest through the
colander, season, boil sharply for five min
utes, adding butter and vegetables and,
having dished your beef, lay them very
hot with it.
French Lemon Custard.-Milk, one
quart; eggs, four; lemon, one; sugar, six
ounces. Put the sugar in the milk and
use only the lemon peel; boil the milk,
sugar and peel fifteen or twenty minutes;
beat the yolks of the eggs to cream and
add to the boiling milk; boil till all is
thick. Never use the whites of the eggs,
but, if you prefer, you can whip them TO
stiff froth and make sort of frosting of
them for the top Of the custard.
Broiled tomatoes-Select firm, ripe to-
matoes; cut them in two and place them
upon a well-greased broiling iron. Put
them over a clear FIRE and broil, first on
one side and then on the other. Now
place on hot dish and pon. over them
melted butter seasoned with cayenne pep
uott
Handy pudding-To one quart of milk
and the yolks of three eggs add sugar to
taste and one tablespoonful of corn starch.
Let it come to boil; pour out to cool,
beat the whites of the eggs with sugar, and
put on top and set in the oven to brown.
Flavor with lemon.
CARELESS COOK.
Customer Ito restaurant proprietor)-"I
found this piece OF shoe.string in my soup,
sir.n
Proprietor =" Shoe-string, sir?"' (To
waiter)-"Here, you, get this gentleman
another plate of soup, and tell the cook to
strain it."
(To customer, apologetically) -'The
cook has strict orders to strain the soup,
sir, before serving, but sometimes she for
gets, and then there is always dissatisfao-
ton"
THE PHILOSOPHY OF wHIsTLING.
Whistling is the safety vent for persons
without singing voice, but with musi-
cal tendency. In the mouth OF the right
person whistling may become an art and
prove blessing, but there is nothing more
iugubrious than poor whistler.who insists
upon splitting the air crosswise with tor
tnring cnromatics. Persons with sedentary
habits, or those whose occupation takes
them apart from mankind in general, are
often given to whistling. Sailors and
shepherds are generally quite proficient in
