DUTIES OF A QUEEN.
Victoria's Birthday Recalls a Re-
markablc, Prophetic Sermon.

VictOr1a's birthday Kecalls n Re.
markablc. Prophetic Sermon.
The recent celebration in honor of
Queen Victoria's birthday has dra VII at
tention to a remarkable, prophetic SER
mon preached at her accession rather
than to the more jubilant oratory of the
week. 1t was by Sydney Smith, the
cathedral in 1887, ''On the Duties of \
Queen and it's prophecies have been so
slngularly fulfilled that they furnish her
epitaph as a sovereign woman-as u
power distinct from her constitutionally
elected government-for unquestionab bly,
her veto on war is the important factor
Of her reign. Sydney Smith said in his
st. PauPs sermon:
"A great object, which 1 hope will be
impressed upon the mind of this royal
lady, is a rooted horror of war-an earn
est and passionate desire to keep her
people in Il state Of profound peace. The
greatest curse which can be entailed upon
mankind is state Of war. All the afro
cious crimes committed in years of peace
all that is spent in peace by the secret
corruption, or by the thoughtless extrava-
pared with the gigantic evils which stalk
over the world in state of war.
| would say to that royal child, worship
God by loving peace-it is not your hui
manity to pity beggar by giving him
food or raiment-I can do that; that is
the charity of the humble and the I'M
known-widen you your heart for the
more expanded miseries of mankind-pity
the mothers of the peasahtry who see
their sons torn away from their families
pity your poor subjects crowded into
hospitals, and calling in their last breath
upon their distant country and their
young Queen. Extinguish in
your heart the fiendish love of military
glory, from which your sex does not neces-
sarily exempt you, and to which the wick.
edness of fiatterers may urge you. Say
upon your deathbed, l have made few
orphans in my reign; l have made few
widows; my object has been peace.
have used all the weight of my character
and all the power of my situation to
check the irascible passions of mankind
and to turn them to the arts of honest
indstry; this has been the Christianity
of my throne and this the gospel of my
scepter; in this way l have striven to
worship my Redeemer and my, judge. "
The sermon concludes as follows:
"What limits to the glory and happi-
ness of our native land if the Creator
should, iii, His mercy. have placed i'll the
heart of this royal woma1l til rudiments
of wisdom and mercy; aid If, giving
them time to expand, and to bless our
children's children with her goodness.
He should grant her a long sojourning
us till she is we'll stricken in years:
What glory! what happiness. what joy.
what bounty of God! l, of course, can
only expect to see the beginning of such
a splendid period; but when do see it,
shall exclaim with the pious Simeon.
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant de-
part in peace, for mine eyes have seen
Thy SALVATION"
1t is not likely that these words, ut
tered az aspirations for the reign of a
woman of 49, will have to be materially
altered now that she is over 50.

How t. Uttlize Buttermilk.

The housewives who always use sweet
milk and baking powder in articles where
such ingredients or their equivalents are
called for little guess the superior results
which may be obtained from the use of
sour milk or buttermillz and Soda If sour
milk is used it must be freshly soured,
not stale; hence, the best time to use it
is in the summer time. Buttermilk is
preferable all the year around. Biscuits,
griddle-cakes, waff1es, cornbreads, muf-
fins, gems, gingerbread. cookies, ETC., are
all of them more tender, delicate and
probably more wholesome (since the ma
!ority of baking powders are adulterated)
II they are made of buttermilk and soda.
a general rule is one level teaspoonful
OF soda to one pint of buttermilk or fresh
ly-soured milk. The soda must be first
pulverized by rubbing with knife on
the table or breadboard. then added to
the flour, to be sifted with it. 1t is even
we'll to sift the flour, soda and salt to-
gether two or three times to insure an
even blending. In very short time
one learns to gauge the soda exactly to
the acidity of the milk to be used. Bak-
ing powder cannot give the best results
in the class of articles enumerated

The RAISING Of Pius

From many directions come reports of
serious losses of infant pigs this spring.
SO far as investigation is possible, how
ever, 1t has been found that the losses
are largely due to conditions that might
have been avoided. Good quarters, clean,
weli-ventilated, neither too hot nor cold,
and proper feeding have resulted in the
average success of narrowing. But
where conditions were not favorable the
severity OF the past winter doubtless had
a Dad effect and IL largely accountable
for many Of the LOSSES reported. The
best thing to do now is to breed the sows
tor early fall litters and during the sum-
mer grow roots, fodder corn and if DOS
sible put up clover III good form, with
good late fall pasturage, rape for in
stance, and the pigs can be cheaply and
prohtably wintered. 1t is better to util-
ne the sows in this way than to lose
their services for a whole year.
Losses i'll narrowing and the present
apparent supply of hogs on the market
as compared with former years at the
to care for the pigs that did survive and
grow them into the best hogs possible.
TOR prices can hardly fail to be better in
the fall than they have been for some
time past In fact, it nearly ALWAYS
happens that reduced production follows
quickly upon n year of low prices, as
the past one has been, resulting in an
advance of price. If this happens upon
general principles it is much more likely
TO where there has been as large a loss
~ ~: narrowing as there seems to have been
this spring. Take care of the pigs.
The killing of clover last winter was
a serious calamity to hog-growers. The
clover pasture is such an important ad-
Junct to swine husbandry and to the
cheap production of pork that to be de.
prived of it is a grave misfortune. There
is nothing to be grown this season that
will supply the same amount of nitro
.senous food element so .cheaply as clover
but sorghum, rape and corn will furnish
pasturage that will at little cost supply
to a great extent the absent clover. Pigs
we'll pastured i'll the summer make the
earliest and lowest cost pork in the fall

The Sweetest Story,

The prettiest child story that have
seen lately is in French. "A mother tells
her little girl that because she has been
naughty she will not kiss her for a week.
Before two days have gone by the child s
lips hunger so for her mothers kiss that
she begs her not to punish her any more.
The mother says: mo, my dear; I told
you that should not kiss you, and I
must keep my word But, mamma,
mamma says the little girl, would it
be breaking your word if you should kiss
me just once toni ght when I'm asleep?'
