scoLDINe THE CHILDREN.

Suppose you are the mother, and the
children dash into your presence " ith
some experience of childish triumph to
relate; now is your test. The chlldren's
eyes are like diamonds as they tell their
story, and all the eagerness of their
sinless souls is shining through them,
but from large round hole in new
pair of stocking a little round knee
stares at you-a dear, soiled, plump,
pink, baby knee it is, and you love the
owner of it. Well, you know how it
irritates you when you see the hole in
the stocking. What do you do thenI
Do you see the love and joy shining in
their eyes, or do you frown and scold
and send the children away to be
cleaned up, as though the soil on their
faces and clothes were spots on their
souls instead.

cREAMED CABBAGE.

Cabbage is nonrishipg. and for this
reason it is pity that because of the
unpleasant odor its cooking spreads
through the house, it is often banished
from the family table. A box of char.
oal should be as much a matter Of
course in the kitchen cupboard as
one of salt, and lump of the former
of size of an egg should be dropped
in the cabbage pot. This and a large
size pot kept full of water will do
away with the odor. Creamed, cab
bage is very delicate and appetizing.
TO prepare it, soak small head cut in
half, for an hour or two in cold water.

hard part and chop the remainder
fine. Boil until nearly cooked. Then

WATcH THE rukKEYs.

Says Pennsylvania farmer: 81 al.
ways know when there is going to be q
wind storm by watching the turkeys
and chicks 60 to re' st each night. In
calm weather The fowls always roost on
'he Reles with their heads alternating
each Way--that is, one faces east. the
next west, and soon.
Brl when here is going to be high
wind they always reost with their
heads towardsth direction from which
tie, storm is coming. There are reasons
fni these different ways of roosting 1
take il.
Wien there is no wind to guard
aga inst they can see other dangers
m"re readily if they are headed in both
directions, but when wind is to arise
they face it because they can hold their
positions better. But the part I can't
understand is how the critters know
that the wind is going to rise when we
mortals lack VII intima; ion of it. y

BARTER FOR WIVES.


There are still countries in which, if
a man wishes to be legally married, he
has TO 60 out and buy a wife, the price
varying considerably in different lands.
In Uganda one can get,a superior wife
for two or three bullocks, or even for
six good sewing needles, or perhaps, a
box of percussion caps, while inferior
wives can be picked up in exchange for
coat, and, if one is Indifferent to
health and. beauty, for pair of shoes.
In the Caroline Islands wives are
cheap. A father will marry his daugh-
ter if the man gives him a little fruit
or small present of fish, while in
Samoa matrimony means buying the
fair one with pigs and canoes; among
the Fjjians the price is whales teeth
and muskets. In Tartary it is best for
a man to marry beneath him The can
do it on few pounds of butter), be-
cause man who has lordly notions of
a marriage with one of the upper ten
must be an owner of horses.
The aborigines of Australia manage
their marriages upon most equitable
principle. If A wishes to marry BIS
sister he allows him to marry his own;
or if B. happens to be widower, then
his daughter will do just as well. One
of the most common forms of gaining
a wife is to work for her, a habit prac-
ticed among many uncivilized nations,
its only advantage being that man
can get a wife on credit, though his
father-in-law takes good care that he
serves his time.

The onion, in either a raw or cooked
state, is winter vegetable that is
highly relished by laying hens; it acts
upon the blood and tones up the sys-
tenn generally, says the Independent.
Cut the raw onion in pieces as large as
corn, and throw it to them before you
feed-say, before the noon meal. When
cooked, it is better to mix with pota-
toes and cabbage. This they highly
delight to have; the eagerness with
which they consume it proves this.
There is no 'sfruit" to excel the onion
as blood stimulant among fowls, and
especially in cold weather, when slug
gishness prevails more or less among
every flock. Put the onion on your bill
of fare.

POTATOES AND EDUCATION,

H -
A famous English physician, Sir
James CIicl.ton Brown has risen up as
an opponent of the higher education
Of women. Two years ago, he says, he
met high school girl who was read
ing 'Lucretius" for recreation, but
she failed lamentably when he asked
her to boil potato. Quite possibly
Sir James would have been equally un-
fortunate had he been asked to boil
the potato himself, or, to cite more
masculine employment, to hitch up his
own horse. It is impossible for one
person, whether man or woman, to ac-
quire all the accomplishments, but if a
woman succeeds with her higher edu-
cation. as many Of them have succeed
ed, she can afford to pay for having IL,
potatoes boiled. This is now So wtl
understood and conceded that liz, :
position to woman's advancement is
confined almost exclusively to the ultra
conservatives, of whom Sir James
Crichton Brown appears to be type.
