ders more STOPPING, his credit less
stable day by day; but do you think
Miss Gertrude cared? Don't initiate
her example. A selfish daughter will
be after awhile selfish wife, and very
likely when n mother will train her
children in selfshness. The high
est grace of character is found
in self-forgetfulness l would rather
see the young girl anxious and
able to relieve her parents in their
hours of perplexity; anxious and able
to sustain her end of the load She can
do this II she set out in life with an cbl
iect, with definite aim, with de-
termination to be helpful in an intelli-
gent way.
SO now, little girl, think. If you are
fond of taking care of the baby, of ty-
ing up Dicks finger when he has cut it,
of nursing the bird or the cat that is
i'll, you may become doctor, or a
trained nurse, when you grow up. Or
if you like to cut out dolls clothes, and
fit them neatly, that may be a hint that
you will become Il very clever dress
maker. Perhaps you have a genius for
cooking or for writing books, or for
keeping accounts. Find out what you
like best, and then study that with all
your might. Margaret Il. Sangster, in

Prepare brine. Boil together six
quarts of water and a pint of coarse
salt, and skim it until it is clear; then
cool it. The quantity may be increased
to suit the number of peaches, but the
proportion of salt and water must be
observed. Choose fresh, sound peaches,
brush them with soft brush, and lay
them in the cold brine for three days.
Then remove them from the brine; cut
piece out of the top of each one, and
take out the stone without enlarging
the top; for two dozen large peaches
mix together two pounds of brown
sugar, one onion, and a Glove of garlic
chopped fine, four ounces of grated
horse-radish and white mustard-seed,
one ounce of powdered cinnamon, and
half an ounce each OF ground-cloves,
mace, turmeric. Use sufficient salad
oil to moisten these ingredients Fill
the peaches with them; close the cut
with piece of peach, and either sew or
tie it in place. Put the stuffed peaches
into glass jars, cover them with cold
vinegar, pour two tablespoonfuls of
salad-oil, in each jar and seal them air
tight, Home Journal.

COINCIDENCE EXPLAINED.
The Old Trail of the Indian IL FoIlowe
by the Steel Trail of the HALLWAY.

The Old Trail of the Indian Is Followed
by the Steel Trail of the Railway.
1t is the subject of frequent wonder
ing remark that our roads and railroads,
that is, our great thoroughfares and
through lines" are almost identical in
location with the paths of the Indians,
and that our town sites were their town
sites. In the west in the valleys of the
Ohio and Mississippi, where the mound
builders once dwelt, ours is the third
race which has occupied the country,
and the seats of greatest population
the chief town sites of the three sue
cessive races-have been almost always
identical. There is, in reality, nothing
strange about it when one puts his
thinking cap on-sometimes we find out
more that way than by asking ques-
tions. Of course, the considerations
which were essential in making n given
locality desirable as the abiding place
of body of people of one race, will
prevail in influencing a like body of an
other race hundred years or u thou
sand years later.
So the mysterious mound builder, the
red man and the pale face have built
their towns upon the same spots. The
main paths or roads have, as a natural
consequence, been upon pretty nearly
the same lines, the most direct lines of
communication between important
points. The routes along which the To-
connective of to-day rushes through the
riven atmosphere with roar and shrek
and rumble, drawing its mighty load
and making an old-time days journey
in sixty minutes, are almost exactly
coincident with the first rude wagon
roads of the pioneers of a century or
more ago, and also with the paths or
trails, often along the water courses
and through the easiest mountain
passes, trodden from time immemorial
by the moccasined foot of the Indian.
The skilled surveyor and engineer has
followed with scientific instruments
where the red men first went guided
only by the instincts of woodcraft The
difference between the new and the old
is far less in the lines of communication
than in the methods of travel, and the
moderns with all of their wisdom and
knowledge have done little beside
making magnificent improvements on
old routes, building with stone, and
iron and steel, it is true, but neverthe-
less along the old, narrow, leaf strewn
path that the savage denizens of the
forest first found out. The solid
vestibuled parlor car, through train"
follows on steel trail the old trail of
| the Indian.-Philadelp Press
