True Courage.

This quality is vital element of
Christian chivalry. Without it, indeed,
neither truth nor fidelity to promise
can be hoped for. The coward is sure
to lie when the truth means punish
ment, and sure to retreat from his en-
gagements when they involve peril.
We need valiant souls that have learned
to endure and scorn pain, and to face
danger fearlessly and promptly when
duty requires. Some parents evade
this important part of training by
CLOSES and deception. A mother who
has taken her boy to the dentists to
have tooth out will often say, if he is
shrinking: "Sit still, my boy; it won't
hurt you" Now she knows it will
hurt him; but if she can only persuade
him by this device to sit still and let
the dentist get hold of the tooth, then
his discovery of the pain will not him
der its extraction. This is double
mistake. 1t destroys her boys conf
dence in her, for he detects her in an
untruth. And though it induces the
boy this time to sit still, it does SC
under the delusion that there is to be
no pain, whereas he should be taught
to face the pain and scorn it. This
makes the difference between towards
and heroes. A regiment of poltroons
could march up to battery as cheer
fully as regiment of heroes if they
thought there were no enemies at the
guns. The difference is that heroes
know the danger and face it valiantly.-

Summering on a Farm.

I'm living in the country now upon Il quiet farm,
Where am free from city noise and safe from
ban harm;
And stead Of horrid cantaloupes and early summer
meats
| feed upon the cool, crisp squash and bloodred
winter beets.
| have room with slanting roof no wearisome
design
Upon the wall is there to greet these tired eyes of
mine,
But honest coarse sandpaper walls are those about
my head,
Pom which rub that fevered spot where mosqu
toes have fed.
No narrow bath.tub have here to lave myself
within,
But large basin on the floor dipper made of tin
oh, how the cooling waters pash, and DER my
shoulders now
Despite their leaking through the floor assuaging
all my
And I've said, no city noise doth break upon the
Naught save the cooling of the frog, the bleat Of
chanticeer,
The growing of the Durham COW. the lowing of the
hen:
These the sole disturbances in this my rural den
And oh, the habits that this life this country life
inspires
The breakfast set at five A. Nah! how my soul
admires
To rise at four and ere the sun has started on its
way
To don my buds and enter the duties of the day
Instead of working at my desk, in hot seersucker
coat,
To seek the fields and toss the hay, to feed the
bounding goat,
To dine three times day pie, washed down by
berry wine,
And, when the has set at last retiring at nine.
This is noble life to lead; from care and strife SC
free
with gee;
But when next summer comes this way, fear

| To swap the sweat of brow and Drawn for rural bee
and board.

No Evidence to the Contrary.

A young Catholic priest, shortly after
beginning his labors in his first parish,
received visit from one of the older
fathers. Anxious to show the progress
he had made, he called up a class in
catechism for questioning. Biddy
Maloney," he began, stand up" A
slip of girl, with blue eyes and brown
freckles, arose in her place. " What,
Biddy," said the young father, "is
meant by the howly state of matri-
mony?" 4" Shure," began Biddy,
glibly, "'tis a sayson of tormint upon
which the soul enters to fit it fer the
blissid state to come "Och!" cried
the questioner, angry and mortified,
"to the foot of the class wild we, Biddy
Maloney. It's the m'aning of purga-
tory ye're afther givin'" But here the
old priest interposed, with quizzical
smile. Not too fast, me young
brother" he said, restrainingly, not
too fast. Fer aught you and l know to
the contrary, the gurrul may be per-
fectly right. "-Harper's Magazine

Receipts for the Kitchen.

CHOPPED BEEFSTEAK is nutri-
cious, stimulating food, more digestible
than unchopped steak, and valuable in
all sickness caused by malnutrition.
Trim the fat from pound of round or
sirloin steak, cut the meat in inch
pieces, put it into a meat-chopper or
mincing-machine, and chop it for five
minutes; then take from the top of the
meat the fine pulp which rises during
the operation of the chopping; continue
to chop, and remove the pulp until only
the fiber of the meat remains. Press
the pulp into a round, flat cake. and
broil it over very hot fire for about
five minutes on each side; season lightly
with salt and cayenne pepper, and
serve hot.
CHOCOLATE CAKE.-This cake will
be found to be quite different from the
ordinary chocolate cake, and if the di-
rections are followed implicitly it will
be found to be perfect. Take one cup
of grated chocolate, one cup of sugar,
one-half cup of milk, yolk of an egg.
Boil all together until it thickens; let it
get cool. While this mixture is cool
ing make a cake of one cup of sugar,
one-half of butter, one-half of milk,
two and one-half cups of flour after
sitting, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, one tablespoonful of vanilla.
Beat up very light and add the choco-
late mixture if perfectly cool. Bake
in four jelly cake tins. Then make a
boiled icing of two cups of sugar, one
half cup of water, the whites of two
eggs beaten very stiff. Boil sugar and
water until almost TO crackle height,
then pour very slowly on the whites
of the eggs, beating them quite fast
when cold put between the layers.
Put pinch Of citric acid in the frost
ing when beating it.
DELICIOUS BATTER PUDDING.-This
is the most difficult pudding to make
and to serve properly, the difficulty
lying not in its combination of ma
terials, as these are few and simple.
The trouble is in mixing and bringing
it to the table in that light and feathery
condition which gives it its charm. In
boiling it you must have perfectly
plain tin, with a perfectly tight-ftting
cover, and the pot of water in which
you boil it must stand in the spot
where you place it and not be moved
until the pudding is done. You must
have sufficient boiling water in the pot
from the first, so that none need be
added. put smoothing-iron on top
of the pudding-pail when | put it in
the water, so that there can be no dan
ger of its oscillating. 1t must be boiled
just one hour, and your pudding-dish
must be warmed to receive it. The d.
| rectiOns exactly followed. YOU will
have batter unequaled in delicate de-
liciousness. Beat up four eggs thor
oughly, add to them one pint of milk
and a pinch of salt, sift teacupful of
flour and add it gradually to the milk
and eggs, beating it lightly while doing
so; then pour the whole mixture
through fine wire strainer into the pail
in which it is to be boiled. Remember
this straining must not be forgotten

Inferior of the House.

An interior should grow by degrees,
like the layers of pearl, though not
quite so slowly, instead of attaining its
maturity, like the bean-stalk in the
fairy tale, in the course of a few hours.
Many persons with moderate means 60
into their houses with only some neces-
sary articles of furniture, so that they
may study the needs and capabilities of
the rooms at their leisure, and thus
avoid unwise purchases. 1t takes some
little time to become fully acquainted
with house and understand just what
will look best in each particular room
and spot; also to accomplish a general
harmony of color and arrangement for
the whole.-ECcbdnge.

HAPPY MISREPRESENTATION Tim
mons, postmaster of Idaville, Ind,
writes: Electric Bitters has done
more for me than all other medicines
combined for that bad feeling arising
from kidney and liver trouble" John
Leslie, farmer and stockman, OF same
place, says: {" Find Electric Bitters to
be the best kidney and liver medicine;
made me feel like a new man." j. w.
Gardner, hardware merchant, same
town, says: Electric Bitters is just
the thing for man who is all run down
and don't care whether he lives or
dies" He found new strength, good
appetite and felt just like he had a new
lease of life. Only fifty cents bottle,

Dogs Quieted by Telephone.

Sir Humphrey de Trafford of Man
chester, England, is the first person to
apply the telephone to the dog bust
ness. Sir Humphrey has one of the
finest kennels in England, and when
his kennelman wishes to quiet the &C.
cupant of certain apartment he goes
to the telephone in his own room and
reads the riot act to that particular dog,
for in every kennel is telephone
device which enables him to make his
voice heard by the troublesome ca
nine.-NelC York World.

that this medicine " makes the weak

parts, purifies the blood, and assists to
