THE HOME
For Boys the Same Code as for Girls.


1t has been said, women make the
homes and the homes make the nation. -
/ agree with the latter, but dissent from,
the former proposition, writes E. B.
Michiner of the Ohio Farmer. Potent as
is the influence of woman. the model
home cannot exist without a model bus-
band, and the model husband is not
made in day by the marriage vow. but
is the result of careful training and right
living from boyhood up. I would have
but one code of morals for men and wom-
en-, boys and girls. 1t is too often the
case that the daughters are carefully
guarded from all that is rude and i'm
moral and kept under the constant infiu-
ence Of the mother or teacher. while the
boys are allowed to run wherever and
with whomsoyer they will, and are per-
mitted to contract habits and to use Ian
guage that would be thought shockingly
vulgar or exceedingly immoral in the
girls
They should have the fact thoroughly
instllled in their minds that what is
Co. 40 O4ueti1y 81 ioA @ oSS
that II 1t is a sin for girl to swear it is
no less crime for her brother that to-
baeco is justeas poisonous, just as filthy
in the mouth of boy or a man, as it
would be in that of his mother, sister or
sweetheart; that beer and whiskey will
start a boy on the downward road that
ends in disgrace and ruin just as quickly
as itswould one of the opposite sex.
He should be taught that the society is
wrong that would doom the fallen girl to
lifelong disgrace, while her betrayer is
permitted to move on in society as before,
and that purity and virtue add luster to
character alike of man or woman
1 believe as society now exists it is more
difficult to bring up boy than girl in
the path of rectitude, but the more the
need that we, husbands and fathers, l
should use every effort, by example asl
well as by precept, to prevent our sons
from being caught in some of the many
pitfalls that beset their way; and If we
neglect to teach them the right, or by
our own bad habits set them an evil ex
ample, the efforts of their mothers will
likely be in vain.

When moulding bread for baking it is
for either dinner or tea, as if properly
made they are very nice, and much more
healthy than hot soda biscuit
q They should be cut out when the bread
is moulded, pulled into oblong shape and
small piece of butter put on the end of
each one, doubling the other end over it ::
place them on tin ready for baking,
and set away for a couple of hours-in
summer in the coolest place possible; in
the winter bring them near the fire half
or three quarters of an hour before it is
time to bake them.
The secret of making rolls as light and
tender as puff ball lies mainly in long.
slow rising the last time; if they set all
day in cold pantry in the winter they
will be much nicer than if baked within
an hour after moulding No soda need
be used about them, as if made of milk
that has been thoroughly scalded and
compressed yeast there is no danger of
souring unless kept in a very warm place.
Bake in hot oven, watching carefully
to prevent their burning or getting too
hard crust.
If bread is risen over night and ready
for baking early in the day the rolls
should be baked at dinner time, taking
the place of pudding or pie as dessert.
Nice bread-even though 1t is warm
eaten with butter, berries or stewed fruit
moderately sweetened is much less hurt,
ful, and makes dessert good enough for

FaStidious taste selects one perfume, OF
bouquet composed of several, which
produces subtle, indefnable odor; this
is preferred by many to a distinct and
recognizable one. For these, violet and
heliotrope-with base of orris root
white rose and lily, and mignonette and
violet are much liked; while there are
still others compounded of half dozen
or more sweet herbs and flower essences,
making yeritable pot pourri 1t pays
to give some thought to the choice, for no
two people are affected similarly by the
same perfumes and all strong, pro-
nounced odors, like hyacinth, tuberose,
musk, etc., should be Stunned, even if
reasonably liked, because to some people
onous.
She who goes into the matter of per-
fume sachets thoroughly does not rest
satisfied with having them for all per-
sonal belongings-as bureau, wardrobe,
closet and gown sachets-but has large,
thin bags filled with sweet scents placed
in the corners of the rooms, under the
carpets or rugs; and when you rest your
weary body upon her yielding cushions,
the same delicate fragrance which you
have learned to associate with her greets
your nostrils. 1t is very easy to overdo
this prevalence of sweet odors, but good
taste always stops short of offense to the
most fastidious.
Bureau drawer sachets should be made
to fit the bottom of the drawer; one sheet
of cotton batting-split to receive the per-
fume-is sufficiently thick for these, and
the soft Indian silks and crepons make
the prettiest possible cover. They are
simply tackled with embroidery silk or
knots of ''baby' ribbon and need no en-
broidery.
For wardrobes and closets sachets are
made quite like those for bureau draw
ers; but they are provided with loops by
which to hang them. They should be
broad enough to extend across the hack
of the wardrobe, or just wide enough to
slip within skirt band,-the sachet
loops hanging from the same hooks-and
about half yard deep. Small bags are
hnng inside q hanging waist, or placed
within its folds if it be kept in box or

~ constant ON of coining vaIue:

II will be seen that during this period
the annual product of gold dropped
from $l06. $50 600 to S9O.750,000, and
rose again to Sl3S, Sol 600. Again,
the gold product was the same in 1887
that it was in 1870 BY 1892 it had
increased over the product of 1860 by
only 35 per cent.
Silver's history in this time will
>tartlc anyone who reads it for the first
time. In 1870 the silver product was
SjIj7j,000 IN 1873 the great change
which was in store for silver exclusively
had begun in full force The product
had risen to SSl 500, 900, or already go
per cent over that of 1870. 1t wavercd
a little at these higher figures, and then
its rush upward began, until, with a
few minor reactions. il rose n 1892 10
S1g6, $4,000, or 800 per cent over il
production Of twenty years earlier.
Can anyone tell Us how silver could
have failed to fall in the market?
This extraordinary increase in the
silver product was in the face of a
steady decline in its value. What
amount would have been got out of the
earth if the value of silver had remained
at the figures quoted for 1t in 1870,
stimulating the mining industry to still
greater eXertions, we leave to coniec
ture. Silver fell because its great pro.
duction cheapened it. There was nc
help for it, short of general and per
manent strike of mine owners all oyel
the world.-New York Sun.
We would commend TO the Sun the
following figures giving the composite
production of silver and gold from

WHY SILVER FELL IN PRICE.

As the reheating of the silver ques-
ton has revived the need of consider.
ing various points of il over again, we
take up an obstinate old deluSion
which we lind in recent edition OF
one of ,ilver's most vehement champi-
ons. the indianapolis Sentenel.
"The great mass of both bmetallists and
free coinage men in this country believe
that the apparent decline of average prices
and the apparent decline IN silver are IN fact
manifestation of an appreciation in gold
resulting from the decentralization Of silver.
Page 119 of the report Of the dircc-
tor of the mint for the year 1898 is sui
fcent of itself to send back TO the de-
batting club, where only minors and
populists are admitted, this idea that
silvcr's decentralization technically 1.-THE
crime of 1873" was the cause for sill
ver's fall in price. Here are the figures
Of the worlds production of gold and
silver between 1870 and 1892, given in
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1895-05-31
100 10 $50:

This table OF comparative production
is given by decades from the report of
the worlds production in coinage laws
1792-ls94. page lob. The production
of 1856 is given because it represents
maximum in the production of gold.
1t will be observed from this table that
gold increased in production from 1920
10 1896, almost 49, times, while silver
production was not doubled in the SO
years. We further observe from the
same work page los that the bullion
or commercial ratio in 1920 was 1862
10 /; in the latter, year 1856, it was
1875 to l. This represents a nuctua-
ton of the commercial value of silver
and gold of only one and oue-half per
cent With gold increasing more than
l9 fold and silver practically stationary
in production, we would ask the Sun
man what but free coinage preserved
the parity? If free coinage could pre-
serve the parity of the two metals
when gold increased - fold and silver
was nearly stationery in value, could
not free coinage have preserved the
parity from 1870 to 1892, when gold
production was nearly stationary and
silver increased in production three
fold? The "Sun" man should ex-
plain. If his assumption is correct
that increased production is the cause
of decline, why did not the much
greater increase of gold production
from 1920 TO 1856 cause it to decline?
