A well tried recipe for making GIN
namon bun is as follows: One cup
mashed potatoes, one cup of water in
which they were boiled, two cups su-
gar, one cup butter and lard mixed,
one teaspoonful of salt, one cup pOta-
to yeast, one egg, -four to make
dough- At night set the sponge thus:
One cup mashed potatoes, ono cup of
the water, one sugar, one cup yeast.
In the morning add the other cup of
sugar (broWn), one cup of butter and
lard mixed, salt, one egg, and flour to
make dough. Knead well. When
perfectly light, cut off pieces large
enough to cover pie pans by rolling
with the rolling pin to proper thick
ness and size without cutting around
the edges. Let them rise very light.
Then wash the top with melted but
ter, and prinkIe thickiy with brown
sugar, cinnamon and flour rubbed to-
gether. Bake in a moderate oven 20
minutes.

To make oyster pie, take a large
dish, butter t,and spread a rich paste
over the sides and around the edge,
but not on the bottom. The oysters
should be as large and fine as possible;
drain off part of the liquor from them;
put them in pan, and season to
taste; have ready the yolks of three
boiled eggs, chopped fine, and grated
bread crumbs. Pour the oysters with
as much of the liquor as you please
into the dish with the paste. Strew
over them the chopped eggs and graf
ed bread; roll out the lid of the pie
and put it on, crimping the edges.
Bake in a quick oven.

One of the ablest of our Southern

One Of the ablest Of our Southern
preachers has been lifting up his voice
against those audacious "females''-
as they say in that locality, meaning
women and girls-who have presum-
ed to indulge in the fascinating pas
time of bicycle riding. We are dis
posed, for several reasons, to think
that the preacher has been misdirect-
ing his able artillery of invective. In
the first place, the mere fact that the
bicycle is an innovation on establish
ed modes Of locomotion does not in
itself make it worthy of censure. In
the second place, we are very sure
that the kind of women who would be
at all affected by our friends vigorous
admonitions would be the last to en-
gage in anything that could be ac-
counted immodest. And, thirdly. we
are equally sure that there is nothing
imn1odest in bicycling, any more than
in the kindred pastime of horseback
riding,-an approved manner of To-
comotion for women in the South. AS

The cleanest town in the world is
said to be Brock, in Holland. 1t is
only few miles from the capital, and
has been famous for it's cleanliness
from time immemorial. 1t is also
notable on account of the fanciful
style of its houses and yards a nd gar
dens and streets. The people, though
only peasants, are well-to- do; and all
feel a pride in their town. 1t seems
to be the first business of their lives
to keep their houses freshly painted,
their gardens in perfect order, and
their yards and streets as clean as
parlor. No carts are allowed in the
streets, and no cattle. Though the
raising of stock and the making Of
butter and cheese are their occupa-
tions,a stranger would never imagine
that there were any cattle in the re-
gion unless he went TO the beautiful
green meadows at the back of the
houses, or the stables out there, where
COWS are kept in stalls scrubbed and
washed like a kitchen. The streets
are too fine and neat for the feet OF
the animals to step on. All are paved
with polished stones, intermingled
with bricks of different colors, and
kept so scrupulously clean that lady
could walk anywhere in white satin
slippers.

Nothing is sweeter than sometimes
finding a father who confesses him
self child with his children, a moth
er who is a young girl with her daugh-
tiers. There is no question of author
ity or infallibility with these, yet
somehow there is always obedience,
always harmony; dignities are not
sacrificed, while something better
than blind homage is rendered. There
are no harsh judgments, no moral re-
actions. Each recognizing that the
thing to be attained, the quality to be
expressed as, for example, benefi-
cence, love, courtesy, charity,-is for
ever greater than possible human at
tainment, yet that each individual
grows in knowledge, perfection, and
understanding while he strives: grows
without pain, development being nor
NAL, and grows without effort, the
impetus being from within and recre-
ative, not from without, coercive and
destructive. True respect each for
the other-and this is the vital point
true respect each for the other, for
even the opinions and the standards
of the other, is at last attained. Ger
tainIy this is something better than
any obedience born of the exercise
of blind authority, or cultivated by a
parents personal pride in his position.

great, broad hand on my shoulder and
looking at me earnestly with his keen
steel-blue Irish eyes, "next to a clear
conscience, trade is as good a thing
as any young man can have in this
country. You can carry it with you
all your life long, you have neither to
pay rent or taxes on it, and it will
help you around a sharp corner when
most other things Will fail"

ance from a man who started matter
landing in New York from Ireland a
helper to a machinist, who became
the leading ship builder of his time,
and who, up to the hour when he was
stricken with a fatal illness, could
take the place of any of his workmen,
whether it was a man driving rivets
or an expert putting together the
most delicate part of a steamships
machinery.
