CORRECTING FAULTS.
It should lie Done IN n kindly
Manner

Manner.
There is nothing more difficult In the
management Of a household than is the
art OF kindly and affectionately helping
each other by correcting faults TO
which even the best are liable. Family
government must of course depend upon
the rule of the father and mother, who
in the nature of things are the guides
and helps for their children. In such
case the superior wisdom of the older
heads of the family justities their claim,
at least while the children are small,
to implicit obedience. But there are
older persons in most households who
equally need admonition. How shall it
be given?
The self-righteous and meddlesome
people who best like the business of re-
proving others are always least fitted
for this work. The person who feels
most deeply his own shortcomings. and
makes large allowances for others, is
always slowest in admonishing for
wrongs done by others. He does it
only under the admonitions of his own
conscience, which tells him that he is
really speaking from the same plane
with those he would help. There must
be a common ground on which we
should meet others if we would ma
terially help them. The fact that we
are all liable TO err places the rebuker
of sin and the sinner on a common
level. This In itself places the reprover.
and him or her who is reproved, upon
an equality, and enables both to profit
by the admonition given.
1t is enough for scrupulous honesty
TO come in contact with dishonesty to
put ii out of countenance. The same.
is true of selfishness, which is the most
prevalent of human sins. 1t is because
the example of Jesus Christ was of un-
selfish purity that it was best fitted
TO arouse the conscience by the example
of unselfshness and perfect purity such
as the world has never before known
that it forms a monition of purity and
unseifishness- such as the world has.
never before known. Men harden them
selves against the direct admonition,
| but the indirect lesson makes its way
without opposition. If. we can enlist
the good will and affection of hearers
in behalf of divine truth we have won
more than, half the battle. 1t is the
most common experience that the hasty
censure of others produces no effect,
because it is recognized as being out
of place. Yet the later censure of those
slower 20 speak, and whose words are
always thoughtfuIly considered, will be
heard with due respect, and its ad-
monitions duly needed. - Boston

1eNDoLLARs A WEEK FOR EIGHT

Feeding n Family at n Cost of Eight
cen Cents a Day for Each Person.
Mrs. s. II. Rorer tells how family of
eight persons can be fed-and well fed
at the aggregate cost of ten dollars
week. She presents bill of fare for
each meal, with suggestions for chang
ing and varying them, and details how
TO prepare the main dishes that enter
into her economical plan of supplying
the family table. ITO carry out the
scheme" she says, ARTICLES must be
purchased economically, and no waste
permitted. A table which is supplied
for family of eight for ten dollars
week must, of necessity be plain, but
it may, at the same time, not lack for
variety orwholesomeness. Sweetmsats
and rich desserts must be counted only
as occasional luxuries, and company
dishes must be omitted altogether.
Meat, the most expensive food item,
may be purchased in u much larger
quantity than is needed for a. single
meal, and utilized French fashion. The
poor and middle classes of this country
must learn more about the food value

PREPARATION of food, and last, but not
least, more about the proper combina-
tions OF food. Avoid the buying of
steaks, roasts and chops each week. 1t
is an expensive household indeed which
has no repertoire Of cheaper dishes, A
beef's heart or q braised calf's liver
makes an excellent and economical
change. Broiled sleeps kidneys, with
little bacon. give good breakfast at
q cost of ten cents. Smothered beef,
which may be made from the tough end
Of the rump steak, is appetizing. and
only costs half the price of an equal
food-value of tenderloin steak.
''The housekeeper should go tomark-
ct early and buy only the best materials.
They keep longer and go farther than
the inferior ones. Perishable food
should be bought in small quantities
two or three times a week. Groceries
enough to last a month should be laid
in. Canned goods and conserved sweets
should be bought sparingly. Meat is
always a most expensive article, and
not particle of it should be allowed to

GREAT BRITAIN's QUEER FOR
TRESS.

At Gibralter Great Britain has for
lress which is conceded to be the
strongest in the world, and almost i'm
pregnable. For many years the work
of strengthening It has been In pro
gress. The mighty rock is honey
combed with galleries and bristles with
guns. ready to belch out their projec-
tiles at any enemy which essays TO en-
ter or leave the Mediterranean against
the will of the British government.
Attack by land is impossible, because
the narrow peninsula connecting 1t
with the mainland is so mined that It
can be blown out of existence at min
ute's notice. Attack from sea would be
the height of folly. The fortress is
provisioned at all times to withstand
any selge which may be laid.
But, with all this, Great Britain is
not satisfied. Reports received at the
Navy Department indicate that she is
pushing the work Of modernizing the
great Notifications with all speed. and
that no less than 5000 Spanish work
ingmen pass daily over the lines to and
from their work on the fortificationa
A large number OF the heaviest pieces
of artillery are being put in place, q
great dock is under construction, and
the plan Of defense permits OF the alb
solute protection of vast British fee
under the guns of the fortress. S,
confident is the mother country Of tn,
strength of Gibralter that she hal
placed no obstacle in the way OF tn
American naval officers and sailor
who expressed a desire to inspect tn
rock and its ramifcations and arma
ment.
For years it has been the policy O
the European countries to take advan
tage Of times Of peace to prepare 70
war, and, in strengthening Gibraltel
Great Britain is only carrying out tina
policy which prevails with specis
force in the continental countries.

AN INCREASE IN REVENUE.

Better times are coming. II begins
to look as though the bottom has been
reached and the upward tendency be-
gun. dispatch from Washington
says that the forthcoming monthly
statement OF the government receipts
and expenditures will show a material
increase In the receipts from beth GUS
toms and internal revenue. Mondays
income from customs alone was $780,
567 the highest figures reached since
the new tariff law went into effect
Several times during the last few
weeks the customs revenues have ex-
ceeded 5000, 900, and according to the
expectation of the Treasury officials
these figures win be fully maintained
for an indefinite period.
The increase from customs this
month probably will exceed November
by $2,5OO,OOO or $3,OOOOOO which will
leave a surplus for the month. Inde-
pendent of the receipts and payments
on account of the Pacific railroad trans
fer, the total receipts this month would
nave exceeded the expenditures APP
proximately $1,75O,OO0. The returns
from internal revenue sources show
gratifying increase, and It is not un-
likely that the December statement will
show an excess over November OF 81
100000, Altogether, the situation so
far as revenues are concerned is very
gratifying to the Treasury officials, who
confidently predict that, with the eX-
ception Of January, when heavy infer
est payments are due, there Will be a
surplus for each remaining month Of
the present fiscal year.
OF course, this statement must be
taken with certain allowance for the
fact that the Treasury is in the hands
of Republican politicians, who are most
anxious to vindicate the Dingley tariff
law, but that the period OF depression
has about played itself out, and that a
slow and steady revival has set in no
one will deny. But natural conditions,
and not partisan action, are responsible
for this desirable change.
