Cream, of Barley,

Place a well-washed neck of mutton
in Il saucepan, add two quarts cold water
and half cupful barley (the coarse kind
is the best for this), set saucepan over
the fire, and when it boils add one
onion, half cupful fine cut celery, half
white turnip, half small carrot, two
sprigs of parsley and half tablespoons
full salt. Cover the saucepan tightly
and boil slowly, till the meat separates

remove every particle of fat. Season
to taste with salt. Mix the yolk of one
egg in a small saucepan with three
tablespoonfuls of cream; add half pint
of the above broth, stir over the fire till

ing and delicious. The broth may be
served plain, with little milk or cream,
or without it; what is left can be set
in a cool place; it will keep for several
days.-St. Louis Republic.

THE MOTHER AND HER BOYS.

There are Fairfax and Fred. and Arthur
and Ned,
Good boys, and remarkably clever;
In studies and sports, and games of all
sorts, &C.. .r...
To excel is their noble endeavor.
And when porting Ger books with studious
looks,
Despairing of help from brother,
The eldest of all will not scruple to call
For aid from his bright little mother.
In out-of-d door games, every one of them
Her presence to strengthen and cheer
them,
For the better their luck, and the greater
their pluck,
They say, if their mother is near them.
With hearty good will and wonderful skill,
She champions one or the other,
And the boys oft declare, with satisfied
air,
There's no better playmate than mother.
She joins in their walks and delightful the
talks,
Most sacred and sweet the communion
The mother enjoys, as she strolls with her
boys,
So loving and loyal their union.
Their future careers, their hopes and their
fears,
They would not reveal to another
Are confded to her; and the lads all aver
The best of companions is mother.
She shares in their games, and in all Of
their aims,
Their faults and their folles correcting,
That they may grow wise and secure the
best prize,
True culture and courage rejecting
And if quarrels take place, as at times Is
the case,
Alas! betwixt brother and brother,
She soon sets them right, preventing a
fight,
For there's no better umpire than mother

MARK TWAiN'S ANIMAL FRIENDS.
The HuInorist's Love of Four-Footed
Creatures.

Inc HuLnOrtStS Love or FOur-EOOte0
Creatures.
Toward the whole world of domestic
animals he has heart of unmeasured
sympathy and tender kindness. He is
in particular a lover of cats, and will
hardly meet one anywhere without
pausing to give it friendly attention;
while for the cats of his own house
hold his devoted fondness comes near
to being passionate. He cannot bear
to see Il horse touched with the whip.
The present writer, when in his COM
pany abroad, riding with him behind a
sleepy nag moping along just out of a
walk ON level road, has seen him, on
noticing the driver unwind his lash
preparatory to- quicliening the speed,
stay Jehu's hand with: Never mind
that! We are going fast enough. We
are in no hurry"
One afternoon while we were toilinG
up the long path from the Riffel hotel
to the Corner Graf, we came upon q
bunch of sheep, o. lamb of which, as we
were passing, left it's dam and inquir-
irgly ventured some distance toward

n convenient bowlder, and with out
stretched hand and other allurements
began trying to call it up to him. On
the lambs part it was contest between
curiosity and timidity, but in the sue
cession of advances and retreats that
followed it gained in confidence, though
at very gradual rate.
1t was a picture to remember; the
great American humorist on one side
of the game, and that little creature on
the other, with Matterhorn for back
ground. One could but think what the
nations of Marks readers would say
to it. He was reminded that the time
he was consuming in that amiable
diversion was valuable-but to no pur-
pose. The Corner Graf could wait.
He held on with undiscouraged perse-
verance, till, to his extreme satisfuc-
ton, he finally carried his point. His
pleasure in the incident was keen, and
outlasted the day.-Joseph II. Twich-
ell, in Harper's Magazine.

trusion," and withdrew.
After she had gone Kate scolded Belle
for her practical joke. Belle, while she
could not central her laughter at its
success, protested that she did not ex,
pect that Harriet would come
AS the days went by, Harriet grew
more and more reserved, and the girls
gave up all attempt to gain her friend,
ship; yet they could not but admire
her ability as a student. Elizabeth
Kingsley had been for two years with,
out a rival in her class; now she found
Harriet a dangerous candidate for the
first place.

one day. "Bess Kingsley is sure of it. >
"UnleSs-there's Harriet Fancher, you
know" suggested Kate, doubtfully.
THE idea of her beating Bess!" cried
Belle, Indignantly. But soon the whole
class realized that the contest would
be close.
Early in April Bess Kingsley went
to Prof. Raymond's office to consult
with him about the junior reception
the great social event of the year al
Lowrie. Prof. Raymond, who was the
principal, met her with hurried, "Ir
few minutes, Miss Kingsley. Please
be seated. I'll not detain you long
Saying which, he withdrew into the
inner Office.
Some one, closcted with him, wa

seated herself before the fireplace, ant
fell into day-dream of reception ia

she heard a passionate cry: "Then

Prof. Raymond, you will think me child
ish, but you can't know what this de

Bess wondered if she were dreaming
as she recognized the voice of Harrie
Fancher. Could that cold, self-con
tanned girl be all but sobbing in the next
room?
The professor made some response
in soothing tones, and Bess heard 9

years Cf school life. Absorbed in
dreams of self-renunciation the life OF
the butterfly girls about her seemed
frivolous. She watched Elizabeth
Kingsley careiessly throw down dol
lar in payment for a bunch of roses,
and thought: what wicked eXtrava-
gance! What good l could do if had
half that she wastes upon flowers and
confectionery" She did not notice that
Bess showered her sweets on such OF
her friends as had less pocket money
and by her gifts of rosebuds or fra.
grant violets lightened many an hour
for little lame Polly Harris, and the
shabby, beauty-loving French teacher
Mile. Buret.
''Belle, there's a board meeting to-
night in Kate's room," said Bess to
Belle Simpson, one day in the hall.
I'll be there, Queen Bess, you may
be sure" said Belle, and walked on.
AS she passed door Harriet Fancher
came forth, her dark eyes lighted up
with pleasure.
Excuse me, Miss Simpson, but ]
overheard your words. Is there a
branch of the 'Woman's Board here %
'"Yes, indeed" cried Belle, mischiev-
ously. 1--WE meet tonight with Miss
Hicks"
"Of course I wish to join it. I'll try
to meet with you tonight" Harriet
turned back TO the schoolroom. Belle
fairly danced away in enjoyment of
her joke.
Evening found the seven gathered in
the large room which Kate Hicks shared
with Molly Reed. In the middle stood
a table spread with crackers, olives,
jam and cookies, with seven dainty cups
awaiting the chocolate which Kate was
connecting.

steamer chair, "would you like to adj
NIT a new member?"
mol" "Never!" rose chorus.
With provoking deliberatjon Belle
proceeded: "Because-we've had-an

Belle, you tease, you are making this
all up said Grace Mitchell.
Indeed, I'm not. Harriet Fancher
spoke to me about it this afternoon"
replied Belle, in an injured tone.

then came rap at the door. 1t opened,
and the surprised girls saw Harriet
Fancher.

confused at the startling hush of the
group, "but 1 know / am welcome at
any meeting of the Woman's Board, be-
cause of our common sympathy"
She paused, but the girls seemed
dumb with amazement, except Bess
Kingsley, who came to the rescue.
Miss Fancher, it is we who should
apologize for not letting you know that
our board is just little social club,
and not for missions at all. But we are
glad to see you, and-won't you sit down
and have cup of chocolate and little
chat? We are all juniors, too, so we
have common sympathy, after ALL
Bess, sorry for Harriet's embarrass-
ment, forgot everything else in her eff

words were echoed by the others.
