JUST AS MOTHER USED TO DO.

He criticised her buildings, and he
didn't like her cake:
He wished shd make the biscuit that
his mother used to make;
She didn't wash the dishes, and she
didn't make the stew,
And she didn't mend his stockings, as
his mother used to do.
All, well! She wasn't perfect, though
she tried to do her best;
Until at length she thought her time
had come to have rest;
So, when one day he went the same old
rigamarole all through,
She turned and boxed his ears, just as
his mother used to do.

The Proper Care of the Children,

An infant should be given no food
containing starch until it cuts its
teeth. Starchy foods include bis
cults, corn flour, tapioca, sage, rice,
potato, etc. An infant cannot digest
any of these until its teeth are cut.
Violent noises and rough shak-
ings or tossings are hurtful to baby,
and should be avoided as much as
possible.
Infants should never be put into a
sitting posture until they are at
least three months old, when they

the egg is old. A little practice

Mending China.

One of the least-known though
also one of the simplest and most
effective of dement's Tor this purpose
is white oil color, such as is usually
sold in tubes, from which it is
squeezed out in the desired quantity.
Broken things should always be
mended as soon as possible after the
accident, but of course there are
occasions when this is not feasible.
In such a case, without any pre-
viOus preparations of any kind,
merely paint the broken parts with
the oil, press them into position, tie
them in position or otherwise ecure
them, if possible, and the operation
is complete. The only precaution
to observe to insure perfect success
is to put the mended article away to
dry thoroughly for six weeks. After
that period, however, neither heat
nor cold nor moisture should affect
the cement. II after complete dry
ing any color remains, having
possibly oozed out, it must be care
fully scraped off with knife before
the article is taken into use again
and after it has dried.

they feed upon, and therefore many
plants are in one way or another pro-
tected against such attacks.
Did you ever stop to think why this
ties are SO well-armed with sharp
rrickles, or why the ugly roadside net
! ties are furnished with stinging hairs :?
Notice cattle grazing in field where
thistles or nettles grow; see how care
full they are to let those disagreeable
plants alone. That is the reason for
the stings and the spines. See this
honey-locust tree bristling with its hor-
rid array of three-pointed thorns?
What animal is brave enough to try to
rob it of its leaves or great pods? Haw-
thorns. too, and rosebushes, and black
berry briars, all have their sharp little
swords and daggers to defend them
selves against browsing animals.
Out on the wide hot deserts of Ari-
zona and New Mexico those odd plants,
the cacti, grow in great numbers. Some
OF them take strange shapes-tall. fluted
columns, branching candelabra. or mere
round balls, like the melon-cactus.
They are almost the only plants that
grow in some parts of that country.
and there is always plenty of sap in
side their tough skins. To the hungry
and thirsty creatures that roam those
dIeary wastes in search OF food and
water they are very tempting. Were
they not in some way protected these
cacti would soon be entirely destroyed.
But nature has made them to be like
strong forts or great armored battle
ships among plants. They are guard
ed by all sorts of sharp spines and
prickles and fine hairs that burn when
they get into the flesh.

One of the difficulties in feeding fowls
is that, as given by the poulterer, the
food is in mass and can be gobbed
down far too quickly. In its natural
state, the fowl hunting for food is
obliged to eat slowly, one grain at a
time. Usually, after each mouthful, the
hen is obliged to scratch for more. So
ingrained is this instinct that hen
with chickens will scratch and cluck
when she comes to pile of grain. One
of the reasons why corn is bad feed.
for fowls is that the grain is large, and
if shelled and thrown out by hand
fuls, the fowls eat it much too fast for
their good The true way to feed hens
is to mix their grain with chaif or
straw, so that they must scratch for
it. If covered with mellow earth, it will
be still better as the dust thus raised
will rid the fowls of vermin.-American

The merriment grew and heightened

chatter and fun. More and yet more

over the hills, and the wind ceased,
leaving balmy clearness in the far

Preparation of bees for winter should
be begun some time before winter is on.
If they are to be fed, 1t should be done
while the weather is yet warm. as
liquids cannot be fed to bees in winter.
II bees are destitute of food during
the winter proper food may be given
them in the form of candy until warm
weather comes in spring. 1t takes
about 25 pounds of honey to winter
colony successfully, and this amount
may be given them in part or in whole
of sirup made from granulated sugar.
The necessary amount Of stores in
each colony should be looked after care
fully in autumn, and furnished in every
case needed, so that they maybe placed
in winter quarters before cold weather.
Colonies may be fed very rapidly If
necessary. In case of late feeding this
must be done, and the full amount of
provisions may be given them in few
days. A strong colony will store
gallon of sirup in less than "a hours.
But in case colonies are fed earlier,
they not be fed so rapidly, and it is bet
ter to prolong feeding ten days or two
weeks, as this gives them more time
to ripen and seal up their stores, which
is much better, and also gives them an
opportunity to rear brood, which is very
essential to successful wintering.

in, in preference to the cellar, and il
you have never tried wihtering in The
cellar, you had better leave that to the

good all-year-round hives. They are
good protection in winter, and in
spring they are a great benefit in pro-
tecting the bees during the changes of
weather, and does not check brood rear

convenient in summer and protect the

big bonfire had been lighted, and every
one was gathering about it, Toms

"Oh, how beautiful" she cried. as
they climbed the slope, and saw the

and she chattered away to him, with lit
tie shrieks of admiration. as the wide
streaks of flame shot high into the air
and flared upon the sdmmer wind. The
one huge pine tree. stretching its wide
branches upon the summit, was so near
the blazing pile of logs and brush that
one big limb caught watt of the flame,
and the needles snapped with cracking
explosions. "oh, will it be quite safe?'
cried Eleanor, and clung for an instant
to her escorts arm. Sue, passing near,
felt swift desire to strange her on the
spot.
But that was only the beginning. for

Tom or ordering him around for the
