BUCKwHEAT CAKES.

Story TOLD IN THE Seattle Journal,
MARCH, 1892: "a ship was living. at
the warf at Astoria waiting for the ice
to break. The sailors from lack OF
anything to do idly watched the crows
that surrounded the ship looking for
bits of food. They could not get the
scraps out of the water but stood on
the blocks of ice hoping that they
might drift near enough for them TO
oatch them. a flock of sea gulls flew
about screaming Tapping their wings,
snatching the food from the water and
soon we noticed a sort of understanding
between the crows and the gulls. the
latter would put the food they took
from the water ON the floating ice near
the starving crows and the men looked
and wondered to see dumb creatures
helping each other in their sore distress
and pondered on the language of those
creatures that We arrogantly call dumb. -

tor the English Cavalry regiments.
They are practically unit for service

ro,.er-Mother to a woodohuok.

1t was the smallest woodchuck I
nad ever seen, not much larger than
1 large rat. Its head and shoulders
were so large in proportion to the
body as to give 1t comical look. 1t
could not walk about yet, and had
never before been above ground.
Every moment or two it would whistle
cheerily, as the old one does when
safe IN its den and the farm dog Is
aercely baying outside. We took the
youngster home, and my little boy
was delighted over the prospect OF a
tame woodchuck.
We captured them all, and the
Joung family was again united. How
these poor halffamished creatures
did lay hold of the spoon when they
got taste of the milk! One could
not help laughing. Their little shin
Ing black paws were so handy and so
smooth; they seemed as il incaSed in
kid gloves. They throve well upon
milk, and then upon milk and clover.
But after the novelty Of the thing
had worn off, the boy found he had
encountered himself with serious
duties in assuming the position OF
foster-mother to this large family;
so he gave them all away but one,
the first one captured, which had
outstripped all the Others in growth.
This soon became a very amusing
pet, but it always protested when
handled, and always objected to con-
finement.
should mention that the cat hao
4 kitten about the age Of the chuck,
and as she had more milk than the
kitten could dispose Of, the chuck,
when We first got him, was often
placed in the nest with the kitten,
and was regarded by the cat as ten
derly as her own, and allowed 10
nurse freely. Thus a friendship
sprang up between the kitten and
the woodchuck which lasted as long
as the latter lived. They would play
together precisely like two kittens;
clinCh and tumble about and roll
upon the grass in a very amusing
way. Finally the w0odchuck took
up his abode under the floor of the
kitchen and gradually relapsed into
half-wild state. He would permit
no familiarities from any one save
the kitten, but each day they would
have a turn or two at their old games
of ough-and-tumble. The chuck
was now over half-gTown, and pro-
cured his own living. One day the
dog, who had all along looked upon
him with a jealous eye, encountered
him too far from cover, and his
career ended then and here.-Cen'

In Hopes warm grasp gleam gay with hghI

Fol things that cannot come again.

And never looks with courage brave
To where the light shines on the grave.

Learn to think. The way you get
knowledge is more important than
the knowledge you get. The mental
activity is the important thing. The
teacher, Of all the people in the
world, should be good thinker. By
this is not meant a logiCian, nor a
metaphysician, but genuine thinker,
clear, discriminating keen, vigorous.
Learn how to teach. This is a spe.
cial art. No training for anything
else is the best training for
teaching. The principles are Of
greatest impol tanCe. Select a few,
or have them selected FOR you, and
study them until they are to you
what the a, b, C's are, 1. E., the peri
fectly familiar material for the build
ing up of all wisdom and wit needed
for teaching, as the letters form all
the hundreds Of thousands Of words
In the language. Establish method
for the doing Of everything that is to
be, or that is liable to be, repeatedly
done Your methods should only
cnange with the necessities of oCca-
si0ns. Invent devices continually.
Train yourself to be a genius in the
art Of frustrating whatyou wlsn to
make plsin.
Let your aim he to teach every
child 10 know, to think, to do and be
all that IS possible for him uuder
existing conditions. Train yourself
in the art of self-cuntrol under vary
ing conditions and in emergencies.
Cultivate patience perpetually, es-
pecially with children. Train your
self tO bear and forbear with children
of all ages in their relation to YOU
and to esch other. Acquire a habit
Of prompt, cheerful obedience in
yourself, since whoever best obeys
best secures obedience. Make the
best OF every thing, since many of the
failures in teaching come from inabil-
ity TO adapt ones self to tho varying
conditions Of school administration
Or social pcculiarities. es.-Journal Of

These forms of bread are much liked
for teas and suppers, and some of the
larger scrts, into the composition of
which eggs enter, are tavorite break
fast and luncheon di~hes. If attention
is paid to one point there never need
be failure in making them, either
with baking powder of with cream of
tartar and sod; baking-powder is
judicious mixture of cream of tartar
and soda, or their chemical equivalents,
with some fariuaceous vehicle. When
these two ingredients are moistened
with water, milk, eggs, or any liquid,
carbonic gas is liberated, which, forc-
ing its way up through the dough,
makes it full of little holes; in other
words, makes il light, therefore the
dough must be baked before the gas
escapes from it; the baking of the
dough so far hardens its texture or
substance that the holes or air cells are
fixed in it, and in this way it is made
light; this fact regulates the lIghtness
of any dough made with either of these
chemical agents, and shows the necss-
sity for getting the dough into the
oven as soon as possible after 1t IS
mixed. The gas is produced by the
reaction of the acid of the cream of tar
tar upon the alkali of the soda: for this
reason tie cream of tartar may he dis
penst d with when sour milk is used to
moisten the dough, the natural acid of
the milk replacing 1t; the addition of
soda as corrective of the acidity of
griddle-cakes or soured bread dough is
based upon the same condition; so, also,
is the use of soda with some forms of
molasses where there is present enough
natural acid to cause foaming condi-
tion when soda is mixed with it; If
dough moisteued with it while It is still
foaming is baked at once, it will be
light.
The lightness produced in bread and
cakes by the use-5ff ff-eSSgs is 66sed chiefly
upon the quantity of air which is in
corporated with the substance of the
eggs, or with the dough or batter, by
long continued beating. The same
result OF lightness would follow if
dough or batter made simply of flour,
salt ana water were beaten until foam
ing, and then baked at once; this is the
principle upon which Graham Gems
are made without using either eggs or
baking powder. 1t is the air mixed
with snow that makes batters light
when newly fallen snow is added to
them; two tablespoonIuls will take the
place of an egg if the batter is baked as
soon as the snow is added to 1t.
