A GAME PIE.
How to Prepare . Very PalatabIe Holiday
Diah.

Dish.
The most simple method is to make
what is generally called timbale. To
raise the crust from the pie with the
hands is difficult task and can only be
accomplished by skilled and experienced
hands. Therefore the raised pies are
usually made in a mold, and have the
advantage of being more easily made
than where the paste is raised with the
hands. Make stiff, short crust; to
every pound of -four allow half pound
Of butter, the yolks of two eggs and
half pint Of water. Work it up very
smoothly. Butter a raised pie-mold
and line with the paste. Previous to
making the crust, bone the game-par-
fridge, quail, woodcock, or whatever Ia
to be used-and rub well with pounded
mace, allspice, pepper and salt; then
spread over all a layer of force-meaf
made by chopping two ounces of ham
one teaspoonful of parsley and tho
peel Of half a lemon; mince very fine,
add a seasoning to taste of salt, cayenne
and mace; blend all thoroughly to-
gether with six ounces of breadcrumbs.
Beat two eggs, work these up with the
other ingredients, and use as directed.
Roll the fowl over the force-meat. Line
the pie with force-meat; put in the
game, packing it in we'll; wet the edges,
put on a cover Of paste, pinch the edges
together; brush over with the beat IN
yolk Of an egg, and bake in moderate
oven for four hours. In the meantime,
make a good, strong gravy from the
bones; pour it through a funnel into
the hole at the top, and the pie is ready
for use. If the pie is to be eaten cold
the gravy must be considerably reduced
before it is poured into the pie, as,
when cold, it should form a firm jelly,
hence it is wise to use knuckle of veal
in making the jelly. Should the pie
acquire too much color in baking cover
with piece of brown paper, as the
crust should not in the least degree
be burned. Mushrooms, truffies or
oysters may be added to enrich tho
flavor of these pies. These pies are
more frequently served cold than hot.
The cover is sometimes carefully re-
moved, leaving the perfect edges, and
the top garnished with bits of bright
aspic and sprigs of fresh parsley, which
gives an exceedingly pretty effect

to injure and annoy the Christians, and
even used to ride ON horseback into the

made small to protect the church from
this sacrilege-
Once inside, we see we are in very
ancient structure. Part of the masonry
dates from the time of Constantine,
who built magnificent basilica on
this site, about the year $50 of our era.
All we can see of the oldest work, how
ever, probably dates from not later
than Justinian's time, about $50 A. d.
In any case, the church is venerable
building, and 1t has witnessed some
stirring scenes. In it Baldwin the
Crusader was crowned king of Jerusa-
lem. 1t has been repaired a number Of
times; and once, when it needed new
roof, King Edward w. of England gave
the lead to make one. This was about
the year 1882. The lead roof did good
service for about 200 years, and might
have lasted much longer had not the
Mohammedans melted it up to make
bullets. However, another roof was
soon provided.
Inside, the building consists of
nave and double aisles. The aisles are
separated by two rows of columns
made of red limestone. These columns
have plain bases, and are surmounted
by Corinthian capitals. They are 10
feet high, and at the top of each cross
is engraved. The church is now owned
by the Latin, Greek and Armenian

NOBLE MOTIVES.
Sag gestions Regarding the Proper Teach
Ing of Children.

Ing OF Children.
It seems strange that any mother
who loves her child should ever in
still into his mind anything but the
noblest motives for conduct. Children
easily appreciate high motives and
learn to despise unworthy ones. It is
great mistake to ask child to be
good because some one is looking at 1t,
or for some paltry reward or from fear
of punishment. The motive from which
child acts should be more carefully
considered than it's action. Conscien-
tious children are often guilty Of
grievous blunders. The child in such
a case needs only instruction, and never
condemnation. So long as the motive
was sincere the action is of trivial con-
sideration, because it does not affect
the formation of character. On the
other hand, a most worthy action may
sometimes be clouded by contempti-
BILE motive. Where it is clearly shown
that child acts merely from love Of
praise the matter is one for the serious
consideration of the mother. No trait
Of character Is more easily acquired by
a child and none is more disagreeable
or difficult to overcome than that Of the
infantile prig. Self-sufficiency is COM
mon fault of petted children, and one
that is particularly unlovely.
Until taught by motives of fear or
greed to be cunning and undetermined q
child is naturally frank, and is easily
susceptible to the noblest motives. The
mother should appeal to the little one
to be good and truthful, because good
ness is lovely and because such course
is the only noble one. 1t is rare that
the child does not instantly appreciate
the motive. Nature has implanted in
every childish heart a natural love of
beauty and truth. 1t is instructive for
child to speak the truth until fear
causes him to do otherwise. A vivid i'm
agination sometimes causes children
to relate wonderful tales of their expe-
riences. This is not to be considered as
untruthfulness, but the habit is one to
be watched, for it may develop in adult
life into an unhappy habit of exaggera-
ton. The child should be questioned
and taught to distinguish between the
unreal world Of it's fancy and the real
world in which it lives. The habit Of
exact and truthful statement cannot
be formed too early.
All the instruction of the child of to-
day tends to make him methodical in
thought. A bright child soon recog-
nizes inferior motives and estimates ac-
cordingly those who advance them. If
you expect to retain the respect of
your children do not give them a motive
for action that you yourself would de-
spise. Teach them to understand and
live UP to the highest standard.-N. Y.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Carrots are delicacies to horses ah2
cattle. When animals are sick and I'd
fuse food they may sometimes b
tempted to eat carrots, which shows
that they stand at the head of all root
crops as food for the stock.
The freezing point of potatoes is 500
degrees, and they must not be kept In
the light. Keep them at temperature
between "a and 40 degrees (the lower
the temperature the better), so as to
prevent sprouting. w
When large numbers of stock are fed
together the stronger will continually
crowd away the weaker ones, who fail
to procure enough food to be in good
thrifty condition. Such an unequal d.
vision causes an increase in the cost. II
Is better to divide up into reasonably
small lots, according to size, age and
condition.
A veteran broncho breaker gives the|
following as sure way to cure hors
of kicking: "Tie one of his forelegf
with rope to his hind leg on the othel

jerks his front leg off the ground and
he goes down in heap. Two or threfI

The Mud Diet of Londoners.

There is nothing like dealing with
large figures, and no doubt the state
ment by a scientific person that Lon
doners drink in the course of a year
1000 tons of mud will appear to many
to disclose terrible and most dan
gerous state of things. Nothing could
be further from the truth. A thou
sand tons of mud would mean, perhaps,
about half pound of mud to each per-
son. 1t will be certainly not too much
to assume that each half-pound of mud
does not contain more than two ounces
of solid matter, probably much less.
Now, it is certain that in the course Of
three or four windy days in March each
person in the air all day will draw in
fully an ounce of dust, as much as he
will swallow in water during six
months. A railway traveller who takes
few hours journey in dry weather has
but to look at the state of his coat and
of the carriage seat to form an idea Of
the amount of dust that must have en-
tered his mouth, the majority of which
on touching the palate and tongue l..
converted into mud and swallowed.
Thus, then, it will be seen at once how

absolutely innocuous is the daily ,por-
ton of this ,0tss tons of mud swallowed
