GOOD INTENTIONS.

What wonderful things we have planned
Love,
What beautiful things we have done,
What fields we have titled, what gifts
we have willed.
In the light of another years sum-
When we think of it all, we are baffled,
There's so much that never comes
true;
Because, Love, instead of our doing,
We're always just meaning to do.
The friends we are wanting to help,
Love,
They struggle alone and forlorn,
By trial and suffering vanquished,
Perchance by temptation o'erborne;
But the lift, and the touch, and the
greeting
That well might have aided them
through
The perilous strait of ill-fortune,
They miss-we're but meaning to do.
We dream of a fountain of knowledge,
We loiter along on its brink,
And toy with the crystalline waters,
Forever just meaning to drink.
Night falls and our tasks are unfinished,
Too late our lost chances we rue,
Dear Love, while our comrades were do
ing,
We only were MEANING TO DO.

tumble Making.

tumble making is almost lost art.
While there still are women IN the coun-
try who keep up the traditional methods
OF the Colonial housewives of making
these delicious cakes, there are few, if
any, women in the cities who know any
thing about it. 1t really is little trouble
to make them at home.
Put a good sized cup of nice butter in
large earthen bowl; add two of the
same cupfuls of granulated sugar, and
beat the butter and sugar with a large
silver forx or spoon until the mixture is
like q thick cream. Add four fresh eggs
and beat the ingredients together to a
foam; add little grated nutmeg or
grated lemon peel, string it We'll with
the mixture; then add cupful of sweet
milk, blending it we'll with the other
ingredients. Next stir in six cupfuls of
sfted -four, in which three heaping
tablespoonful of baking powder have
been mixed. This will form a light
dough, which must be put in the middle
of well-foured holding board
Take two large baking pans and dust
some flour inside of them. Now quickly
and lightly roll out the dough to a thin
paste, not more than quarter of an
inch thick. Have a ring cutter, which,
when it cuts, leaves hole in the middle
of each cake. With a thin, broad cake
turner lift each ring separately, laying
aside the round piece from the middle.
Now take a soft brush or a feather
and dip it lightly in the beaten white of
an egg and varnish the top of each ring
with the egg Sprinkle over this lit
tie fine graduated sugar; place the pan
in a rather quick oven and bake until
the cakes are delicate brown. Jumbes
must not be baked dark brown. Much
judgment is required, as they may in
some ovens take ten minutes and in
Others fifteen.
While your first pan of jumbles is bak'
ing roll out, cut and fill the other pan
with them, just as you did the first
Then they will be ready to put in the
oven when the first painful is done. Re
peat this process until the dough is al
used up.
Whea the jumbles are thoroughly
cold blow off the -four which aaheres tt
the cakes and put them away in stone
crock. This can be done at any time
the day they have been baked.
The entire work of making and bak
ing these iumbles will not take an hour
The materials used will not cost over 8;
cents, but you will have fifty times the
amount of enjoyment out of them.

Cows Wear Spectacles.
From the New York Journal.

Cattle with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year. The COWS subsist
on the tufts of grass which crop above
the snow, and the rays of the sun on the
snow are so dazzling as to cause blind
ness.
To obviate the calamity it occurred to
a kind hearted man to protect the cows
eyes in the same way as those of human
beings, and he manufactured smoke
colored spectacles which could be safely
worn by cattle. These spectacles are
now worn by upward of 10000 head of
cattle.

IF during the next twenty-five years
Great Britain loses her trade as rapid

ed her primaey as tie greatest of the

the same industrial progress is held by
the United States as has marked the
closing years OF the present century,
the United States will lead the world in
