THE VALUE OF MONEY.
why 1t Should BE Explained to Children
by Their Pacenta.

why 1t Should BE Explained to Children
by Their Parents.
If we expect q child to grow up with
a knowledge of the value of money,
we must make it part of his educa-
ton. 1t is just as sensible to expect him
to appreciate rare work of art, with
out ever having seen painting, as to
expect him to use money judiciously
without knowledge, gained by expert
ence, of its value. Many young peo-
pie are spendthrifts when they come
into possession of little money. sim
ply because they do not know the pur-
chasing value of dollar.
Let the little one earn few pennies
by hard work, that he may know the
cost Of them. He may spend part
foolislly. Do not we older children do
the same? Carefully explain to him
that, so long rs he spends all he earns,
he will never save enough to buy some
thing greater. Get him TO invest his
savings. Show him the growth of his
cents into dollars. Teach him that
money used for present pleasure is
gone. and that he soon wearies of his
bauble. Make him understand that
money is not elastic; that 100 cents
will buy just 100 cents worth of goods.
Let him buy and sell, and loan money,
TO yourself if need be, that he may UNI
stand business methods. Take him with
you to town when Won go to make a
tradc-purchase or sale. This will not
make him grasping II he receive the
right kind of training; it will make
him careful of little things.
DO not neglect the girls. You think
them extravagant. How can they know
the difference between economy and ex-
travagance If they are never taught the
value of money? Give them share of
something, but let them earn 1t them
selves. Make it large enough to allow
them sufficient amount to make all
needful purchases. BE their savings
ever SO small, have them deposit them
in bank, IL conveniently near. Let
them have bank books of their own,
and make drafts, checks, certificates OF
deposit, etc.-Mrs. V. w. Lee, in Rural
New Yorker.

A LITTLE LOVE AFFAIR.

be surprised on entering fashionable
woman's boudoir to see ball Of fluffy
cotton on the floor, which, on investi-
CATION, will resolve itself into long
haired and long-tailed Angora.
They are not all white; In fact, they
are to be had in all the colors and stripes
of ordinary eats. The white ones are
the most valuable, and the beautiful
gray and white come next. Long hair,
beautiful eyes, and the fine bushy tails,
which sometimes grow TO an astonish.
ing size, are the principal character
istics of these fashionable pets. At the
Exchange for Woman's Work they have
received several requests to hunt up
well-conducted and pedigreed Angoras.
and the new industry seems to be
quite thriving.
The cats are very clever. Many Of
them are used in trick animal troupes,
and great deal can be taught them.
AS in the matter of pets, here again the
white ones are the favorites, being more
effective on the stage. A fancier who
deals largely in small pets, and es-
pecially cats, says he has now several
orders for Angoras for exhibition pur-
poses. One man has ordered two, which
ere now on their way from Paris, and
If they, too, prove success, six more
will be imported for the same pur-
pose.
The principal places from which the
cats come are London, Paris and diff
ferent parts Of Germany. Many are
raised here, and the kittens are sold
when quite young, but they are risky
purchase, being rather difficult to raise.
The hair grows longer with time, some
times growing quite bushy on a cat
which lives to revered old age, IL
years or little more being the length
of life allotted these little pets. But TO
choose ones favorite for the length and
beauty of its hair is an obvious mistake,
for it necessarily means less years in
which to enjoy its society.-N. Y. Her

SUNRISE.

"Dcar heart" they said. ''the sun Is high.
Noon came while you were sleeping"
~Ah no! the dawn creeps up the sky"
He said, nor heard their weeping.
Again he asked the hour Of day
When dusk was slowly falling;
cit cannot be, for far away
hear the robins calling"
And last he said: II must arise,
For now the morn Is breaking"
Then closed once more his weary eyes,
And knew no earthly waking.
"All through that day his mind was dim, :"
They sadly thought: unknowing
That while he fingered here. for him
Another dawn was glowing.

\ splash in the water told the rest.
In the bow the defenders had done
good work, but Capt. Drake was
stretched on the bits. covered with
blood. The last pirate had run out on
the jibboom and fired his pistol just as
a musket ball took his life, but he had
done his work, for poor Spain got HIS
after. They were beaten, and under Il
parting volley the ruffians sprang. to
their sweeps, and, with the loss of half
their crew, made for land.
Suddenly the mainsail gave flop. Nc
orders were needed. The topsail hal.
yards were manned. "Up with the fly.
ing jib, trim sheets, round in starboard
braces!" was the cry, and the little brig
began to surge through the water.
"See! see! the schooner's making sail.
Up goes her gaff and foresail. The
fights not over, men! She'll cut us to
pieces with her long Tom" Just then
came the sound of n heavy gun, and so
intent were the crew watching the pi-
rate vessel that they had not seen, half
a mile away, British corvette piling
on sail up to royals. She was flyer,
too, and inside of five minutes swept
down on the brig, hailed and was told
what had occurred.
The pirate craft was intent only on
saving her men in the yawl, but it was
too late. The corvette ran her down
and at 100 yards gave the marauders a
shower Of grape that tore the boat and
crew into splinters. The schooner made
off, followed by the man-o'-war, and
both disappeared in the southern board.
The second mate took command of
the brig. Her captain had broken
thigh and shot through his body,
while the mate and four of the crew
lay dead. The breeze kept steady, and
on the 4th of January they came to an
Choir in Spanishtown harbor. Capt.
Drake lived to get we'll and quit the
sea. But before the Christ church
chimes rang for another Christmas

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
A Recipe That Has Been Tried and Not
Found Wanting.

Found Wanting.
A tested recipe for whole wheat bread,
which we are glad TO note is becoming a
part of the diet of every well-nourished
family, consists of one pint of boiling
water poured into pint Of milk. Cool
the liquid and when luke-warm add ORG
cake of compressed yeast dissolved in
half a cupful of warm water. Add q
teaspoonful of salt and enough WHOLE
wheat to make n batter that will drop
easily from spoon. Beat thoroughly
FIVE minutes, cover, and stand in plae-.
that is moderately warm for three hours,
Enough whole wheat to make dough
should then he added gradually. When
stiff, knead on your board until the
mass is soft and elastic, but not sticky.
Make the dough into loaves, put in
creased bread pans, and after covering
stand aside one hour. The time for
baking will depend on the size of the
leaves. If long French loaves, bake 80
minutes in quick oven. If large square
loaves, bake one hour at a moderate
heat. When crusty bread is liked the
dough may be in sticks and baked in
pans made for that special purpose.
Another tested recipe that requires less
handling and that is used by Miss John
son is made in the following way: Scald
one cupful of milk, add a teaspoonful
OF butter, the same quantity of salt, a
tablespoonful of sugar, and one cupful
of water. When lukewarm add one

be done in the morning, as the bread
rises quickly. After making a smooth
batter let it rise until very light. Add
whole wheat gradually and beating
continuously until as much has been
added as you can stir conveniently. If
the flour is not added gradually and
well mixed the bread will be coarse
grained. Turn into CREASED tins, and

set in, driving them 200 miles off their
course, and then head winds blew for
a week, so that it was the last day In
the year before they came in sight Of
the Cuban coast, and not over ten miles
off Cape st. Antoine the wind failed and
there came one of those dead Gains pc
culiar to these ATTITUDES; the sails hung
without SILVER and the pennant was
as straight down us yard of pump
water. But this was not the worst.
Capt. Drake knew that he was in the
track of the pirates and was practically
helpless to keep away from them. and
at this moment he was doubtless sig
nailed off shore to some of their ves-
sells. Everything depended on keeping
a stout heart.
His six 24-pound carronades were
loaded with grape and kentledge, the
arm chest was opened, cutlasses and pis-
tolls were served to the crew, muskets
were loaded and the cook filled his cop
pers with hot water, ready to repel
boarders. All hands kept watch that
night, and in the morning Mate Spain
went aloft with n glass. He at once
hailed the deck. ''There is u topsa.l
schooner lying behind that point of
land off the starboard quarter. can't
make out any sail on her."
"All right, come down. Wen have
breakfast. There's trouble ahead. But
there are 90 of us, all good men, and we
ought to make a tidy fight for our lives"
A strict watch was kept at the mast
head, and at ten o'clock hail came:
There's boat full of men putting of
shore. 1t is yawl with tug. She's
coming fast under sweeps"
The ensign was seized union down to
attract some passing vessel, and all
waited and watched. There We're not
less than 40 men in the yawl.
When it was within about 20 yards OF
the brig the captain cried ''fire!" But
as usual two of the carronades missed
fire, the other scattered ten feet wide
of the boat, and next it swept under
the bow, the leader, white man,
springing into the chains, followed by
gang of mulattoes, negroes and Span
iards, all big men. Their captains head
just came above the bow, when he was

PARALYSIS OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Cleveland II the Root of the Whole
Trouble.

1EouDies
Although President Cleveland's tern
in the white house will end next yeal
by an unwritten law which has been
solemnly declared part of our repuO-
lican system, no democratic statesman
appears to be engaged in any serious
effort to obtain the democratic nomi.
nation to succeed him. The usual array
of favored sons and the struggle for
delegates, both of which are particular
ly lively in the republican camp, are
not seen among the democrats. Ii the
democratic nomination were made TO-
morrow it would not be clutched, bui
accepted, and with the timidity OF res,
ignation rather than with the fervor oi

There is deadlier blight on the
hopes and ambitions of democrats thah
can be accounted for on the simple
merits of the contest between demo
Gratis and republicans. The root OF the
trouble is in the ambition OF Uro'ei
