RICHMOND VA.
OF VIRGINIA.

The object of this Department. to
create among the women OF the race
an interest in q Ref0rmatory for our
boys and girls, who, on conviction of
crime, disorder, or vagrancy, are now
sent to the jails of the 100 counties in
the state and the penitentiary, but
who, with Reformatory, win be res
cLed and saved. Since evGry mother
loves her child or children, she cannot
but feel & sympathy for those unfortu-
nate mothers whose children become
viHtims of evil practices, and as con-
sequence are arrested, convicted and
sentenced to Jail or the penitentiary /;
therefore no mother can be Indifferent
to the children and youthful criminals
of the race, who. by Imprisonment in
jsils and the penitentiary, are brought
in daily contact with hardened crimi-
nails, are hereby degraded, md are on
the road of utter destruction.
To help the mothers of our race the
Executive Committee of the Negro
Reformatory Association of Virginia
has organized under the supervision of
DR.. P. B. Ramsey, of the Exc cutive
Committee, ''Woman's Department
of the Negro Reformatory Associa-
tion," designed to arouse general in
terest among the women in the state,
to stem the tide of crime, vsgrancy
and disorder among the Young Of the
race, that they my help the cause by
giving of their means, and influencing
others to give, that the Reformatory
may be erected for the rescue and sal
vation of the boys ard girls of our race,
who have taken the first step down

NOBLE MOTIVES.


Bugg sstlns Resarding the Proper Teach

IT sems st}ange that any mother
who loes het child should ever in
still IMP his mind anything but the
noblesthotiy9 for conduct. Children
easily PprecRte high motives and
learn tddespih unworthy ones. 1t IS
a great mistale to ask a child to be
good beause 5me one is looking at it..
or for sdme PARRY reward or from fear
of punishment The motive fromswhich
a child lets sbnld be more carefully
considered thai its action. Conscien-
tious Children are often guilty of
g~rleyonsl blundrs. The child in such
a case nefds onk Instruction. and never
condemnation. So long as the motive
was sincere thdaction is of trivial con-
s~ideration bedpse it does not affect
the formation pf character. On the
other hand a 4ost worthy action may
sometimes pc cpuded by a contempti-
pie motive3 Whre it is clearly shown

mon fault of petted children, and one
that is particularly unlovely.
Until thght by motives of fear or
greed to Y cunning and u~nderhanded a
child is hturally frank. and is easily
susceptible to the noblest motives. The
mother Sould appeal to the little ono
TO be god and truthful, because good
ness is loely and because such a course
ls the oty noble one. 1t is r that
me childdoes not instantly appreciate
the MOTE. Nature has implanted in
every cHdish heart a natural love of
beauty ad TRUTH 1t is instructive for
q child o speak the truth until fear
causes I'M to do otherwise. A vivid inn
aginatio sometimes causes children
to relatwonderful tales of their expe-
riences. This is not to be considered as
untruthulness, but the habit is one to
be watqed, for it may develop in adult
life intfn unhappy habit of exaggera-
ton. Ae child should be questioned
and taght to distinguish between the
unreal torld of its fancy and the real
world j which it lives. The habit of
exact ad truthful statement cannot
be formd too EARLY.

The NEST simple method is to make
what is generally called a timbale. To
raise the lcrus from the pie with the
hands is aditftult task and can only be
accomplished y skilled and experienced
hands. Therefore the raised pies are
usually mdein a mold, and have the
advantage OF being more easily made
than where til paste is raised with the
hands. Makea stiff, short crust; to
every pound o flour allow half pound
of butter, the yolks of two eggs and
half a pint of water. Work 1T up very
smoothly Bitter a raised pie-mold
and line Iwiththe paste. Previous to
making the crst, bone the game-par-
fridge, quail, Eoodcock, or whatever IS
to be used-an rub well with pounded
mace, allspiceI pepper and salt; then
spread over Al a layer Of force-meat

other inyredfnts, and use as directed.

game, ncki1g it in we'll; wet the edges,
put on cover of paste, pinch the edges

yolk oIan egg, and bake In a moderate
oven f. four hours. In the meantime,
make good, strong gravy from the
bones; pour it through a funnel into
the hoe at the top, and the pie is ready
for u.s. If the pie is to be eaten cold
the gryy must be considerably reduced
beforeit is poured into the pie, as,
when pld, it should form a firm Jelly,
hencet is wise to use asknuckIe of veal
in maing the jelly. Should the pie
acquir too much color in baking cover
with piece of brown paper, as the
crust hould not in the least degree
be buned. Mushrooms, trufies or
oyster may be added to enrich the
fiayorof these pies. These pies are
more frequently served cold than hot.
The over is sometimes carefully re-
moved leaving the perfect edges, and

aspic nd .sprigs of fresh parsley, which
gives an exceedingly pretty effect.-

1t is said that by giving plaster fig
rres a bath in a certain way they may
be made to look like marble. The bath
is made by putting two generous quarts
OF water into an agate kettle with one
ounce of pure curd soap and one ounce
OF white beeswax, cut into small pieces;
let this dissolve over a slow fire, and
when allthe ingredients are thoroughly
mixed, tie fine Irvine around the ig-

the figure out and hold it in the air
for five minutes, and then again dip it
into the liquid; let the figure dry for
a few days, and then rub il with a soft

After washing hair brushes they can

there is no better way to dry hair
