Feeding the FastidiOus Child.

While it should be the mothers aim t.
make her child eat every variety of whole

veres in taking little frequently he viii
in time acquire Il taste for the Wand, thor
are instances in which the theory came;
be put into practice, writes Elisabeth Rol
inson Scovil in The Ladies' Home Jou,
nal. Some children seem to have con
stitutional aversion to certain dishes and
really cannot eat things that t. others are
not only pulatable but delicious.
Perhaps the following receipts may
bring fresh suggestions: Beat the white
of an egg to IA stiff froth, put it in cup
in which it can be served, drop the yolk
lightly in the middle Place the cup in a
saucepan of boiling water, cover it and let
it stand for two minutes. Sprinkle with
salt before removing it from the fire. Ba-
nanas are less indigestiblo cooked than
raw. Remove the narrowest strip of skin,
carefully loosen the banana at the sides
without breaking the ends. Fill the space
between the fruit and the skin with sugar
and bake for 20 minutes. Serve in the
skin The banana will be surrounded by
jelly if it does not tip over while baking.
If the child does not care for oatmeal
porridge, try using the oatmeal in this
way; Take cups Of flour, cups of oat
meal, or cups If you use the rolled oat-
meal; mix these well together, add half
cup of graduated sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls
OF melted butter, pinch of salt, small
half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in half
teacupful of milk. The dough should be
stiff enough to roll about half an inch
thick; cut In round cakes; bake in a mod
crate oven.

Girls in the Household.

The present tendency among young
women in this country is toward helpful
ness, industry and self reliance. There can
be no doubt that the disposition to Ego out
into the world and fight her own battles"
Is Il trait which has been greatly developed
within the last score, even the last decade,
of years. This is well, so far as it goes,
and it Is an encouraging sign, but the
question will still arise whether the girls
of today, in learning to be business wOm-
Ell, are also in equal measure or at all,
qualifying themselves for the high duties
of wifchood and motherhood, through
which, after all, their greatest influence in
the world is to be eXertcd. A contempo-
rary, under the title of idle Daughters ="

class which it is to be feared still exists in
far too large measure in the homes of
many of our people,

lilies where the mother is the drudge to
see the daughters elegantly dressed, rcclin-
ing at their ease, with their drawing, their
music, their fancy work and their reading
-beguiling themselves of the lapse of
hours, days and weeks and never dream
ing of their responsibilities but rs a nee
essary consequence of neglect of duty

hold of every newly invented stimulant to
rouse their dropping energies, and blam-
ing their fate, when they dare not blame
their God, for having placed them where
they are. These individuals often tell you,
with an air of affected compassion-for
who can believe it realY--that poor, dear
mamma is working herself to death, yet
no sooner do you propose that they should
assist her than they declare she is quite in
her element--in short, that she would
never be happy if she had only half so
much to do.
Is this picture less true than it would
have been n score of years ago? If so, we
are making progress in the right direction.

and with a tight hold ON his end Manley
took the dog out for walk Every once

Foreign.

THE revolution in Ecuador is spreading
on all sides. Senior Sarasti, minister of
war, is reported killed. The principal
newspapers of Guayaquil have been sup
pressed and their editors and proprietors
banished. Several regiments OF soldiers
have gone over to the revolutionists, and
100 women made an attack upon the gov.
eminent barracks in Canor and liberated
the political prisoners confined there.
ADDITIONAL details have been received
regarding the death of Crombert, one of the
Cuban insurgents, that puts new phase
on the circumstances OF the event. Crom
bert was said to have been killed in battle,
but he was foully assassinated while de-
pending upon the protection of flag of
truce. The Spanish forces had arranged
for meeting between themselves and
Crombert to discuss the terms of peace, and
accordingly the insurgent leader came with
his attendants all unarmed to the Spanish
headquarters. After refusing to accept the
terms offered, Crombert, while preparing to
leave, was shot and hacked TO pieces after
the manner of most foul assassination.
The facts above stated will be sworn to by
four eye-witnesses to the affair, provided
the govern ment of the United States will
vouch for their protection.

Relative Cost of Tunnels.

In comparing the four great tunnels IL
is interesting to note that time is an ex-
traordinary element in the cost The old

Mount Cents, next Oldest, cost 1886 foot;
ST. Gothard cost 1929 a foot, and the most
recent tunnel of the four-the Arlberg-
cost only Sl54 foot. All four We're in
old settled countries, with abundant labor,
and the very great difference in cost per
foot plainly marks the progress of science
because it was the invention and improve
ment in tools that made it possible to re-
duce the time and thus the cost.
To observe the differences between the
work on the three great European tunnels,
built by government aid in old settled
countries, it may be well to observe for a
moment the work done on a comparatively
small tunnel built far from civilization
through the Cascade mountains on the line
of the Mort hern Pacific railroad The
mountain through which the tunnel was
cut is 3, $40 feet above the STA. and the
peak is !. 1875 feet above the floor OF the tun-

difficulty OF this undertaking II must be
observed that the site Of the tunnel, at the

signed, was an unbrukcn wilderness.

Education of Girls.

Every girl who can spare the time should
cultivate the fine arts if it rocrcates her,
or perhaps her lfcwork is chosen from
among them. We need the beauty and
graccs as well as the simple necessities.
Every girl or woman should pay partic-
ular attention to her dress study her style
and dress as we'll as her means will allow
as becomingly, as tastefully rs she can ar
range.
We must teach our girls the value Of
time. Every hour should be made to pay
In something. Society, Of course, has its
claims on the young girl, and u good
school it proves to be, where she learns
how false and hollow is much she first
deemed so fair. 1t becomes her duty to
decide whether she will act part OF be
what she seems.
Every girl should take plenty of outdoor
exercise, of sleep and of recreation, make
acquaintance without number, vet have
very few friends, and learn to depend on
none. She should cultivate self reliance
and be strong to endure able to think
things out of n tangle without calling
council of friends. 1t is good plan to adj.
