This exnectation. 1t rather seems
oa tbdnoh John Ruskin spoke
pp when he doubted
that people would>turn their arith-
metie to roguery, and their litera-
ture to lust. For GeVer IN tHe
worlds history was arithmetic
turned to roguery as it IS TO day,
and never was the Dissemination
of "yellow" journalism ahu Ia. ~,
written works of fiction so Miue
spread. Never were papers dew,
ed to the cult of delicate indecen'
CIV, and novels to venal armors
and clandestine erotics read by
youth as they are today.
Obviously, this concerns the
schools directly. Were school
children taught how to read and
what to read, to know good books
from bad, and were as wise and
careful attempts made to incul-
cate taste for good literature by
teachers who themselves knew
and loved books, n different state
of affairs might obtain. Lltera'
ture il, all it's branches would be
touched upon, and an insight
gained upon such abstruse sub,
feet as Political Economy ano
Sociology, which would serve the
child well in mature years. 1t Is
plainly seen that only in a wise
reading can one become acquaint'
ted with the relations which things
and ideas bear to each other anc
to themselves; in other words IL
an acquaintance with physica
and mental laws. According to 1
H. Buckle in History of Civil
cation, Literature, being the
store house wherein the accumu
lated knowledge of mankind II
kept, each child must be supplied
for it's life's work with key anc
plan. The key wherewith thu
door may be opened, is the mere
knowledge of how to read, anC
the plan, working idea of wha
to read. The child must b'
taught how to find the writer ant
work it requires. even as, accord
ing to John Ruskin, the gooC
housewife can lay her hand upol
the spices she needs.
That knowledge of Literature
should take precedence of certain
other studies, say of Latin His
tory for instance, no one who ha
read Herbert Spencer's Essay OF
Education can doubt. Histor,
rs studied, gives no conception o
the real social progress of an
particular peoples, being merely
''mass of unorganizable fact,

The custom which now obtains, Of
sending homemade bonbon candies
and other CONNECTIONS as Christmas re-
membranes where good taste would
not sanction more substantial gift,
grows in popularity each year. and
candy-making has become as much a
feature of the holiday preparations as
the distinctive cooking.
Each innovation creates a necessity.
In this instance it comes in the shape
of demand for pretty, yet inexpens-
i've, receptacles for the conveyance of
Christmas sweets. Many pleasing con-
ceits in the way of baskets, Cinderella
slippers, Christmas stockings and the
like may be bought for the purpose,
though for daintiness nothing takes the
place of a pretty box. Another point
in favor of the box is, that it may be
easily and cheaply made at home by
the person of ordinary skill, and may
be as simple or elaborate as desired.
The only materials required for box
making are several sheets of Bristol
board Or water color paper of the
rough variety, a bottle of mucilage,
and few yards of marrow ribbon.
When filling the boxes, pains should
be taken to make everything pertain
ing to them as dainty as possible, that
the gift may appeal to the eye as we'll
as to the palate. Boxes with lids
should be lined with oiled paper over
a lace paper dolly, generous border

SOME INDIAN SANCTITIEs.


Farrow says that Indians dislike
making a night attack because of their
belief that if killed in the dark they
will be blind in the next world When
they claim lineal descent from a bear,
wolf or other animal, they never kill
that animal. Indians have no family
names. Boys are men at Is; girls
marry at II. Murder is punished by
some relative of the deceased killing
the murderer. All other crimes have
their prices fixed in ponies. An Indian
can ride any horse twice as far as
white man, and can sit gracefully on
horseback when so drunk that he can
not stand up. He will ride his horse
until the beast falls from exhaustion,
and then will complacently sit upon it.
He always mounts or dismounss on the
right side. Indians have no regular
time for their meals, but eat whenever
hungry. The men, women and chill
dren seldom eat together.

of the lace showing over the edges.
Pack the candy in layers, with oiled
paper between and over the top layer.
Fold over the border of lace, close the
lid and tie with pretty ribbon.
If the boxes are made without lids,
use fringed tissue paper of some deli
cate shade for the outside lining.
When the box is filled, the fringe
should be arranged to simulate COW
er, Or it may hang gracefully over the
edges and cover of lace paper be
spread over the top and held in place
by ribbon.
When packing boxes similar to the
cylindrical shape shown in the illus
tration, each piece of candy should be
first wrapped in oiled paper and then
in fringed tissue paper and the ends
prettily twisted.
If the Christmas candy is intended
for use Oh the home table instead of a
gift, serve in pretty bonbon dishes.
French Bonbons. Before attempt
ing this variety of sweets, it is impera-
tive that one master the art of making
fondant which is the basis of all French
candies. With this knowledge as a
stock-in- trade. the possible changes and
combinations are almost limitless; with
out it, nothing can be done.
There are two popular ways of max
ing fondant; but as both produce, prac-
tically, the same results, which shall be
used is a matter of choice.

egg add an equal quantity of ice water

A Frenchman on his return to Paris
after a weeks stay with an English
commercial friend in London, sat down
to inscribe a letter to thank his host
for his kind hospitality. Possessing
but scant knowledge of the English
language. it entailed some effort on his
part to frame suitable letter. He
managed, however, to convey what he
wished to say with considerable salts
faction to himself 1t only needed the
usual finishing sentence, and the
Frenchman was wont to wind up his
social letter with the French phrase,
May the Lord preserve you and } our
family for all eternity.
Failing for the moment to recall the
English definition of the French word
meaning preserve he sought the aid
Of dictionary. He there discovered
that the word meant pickle, so with
pride he concluded his missive with
the parting words:
MAY the Lord pickle you and your
family to all eternity. '-Philadelphia

HlCCOUGH.

The ordinary snuff tobacco, according
to Russian medical authority, is an
excellent means for cutting short hic-
cough. The common remedies failing
to exercise any controlling influence in
an attack of extremely obstinate hic-
cough, the physician decided to give a
test to this old-fashioned popular
means. making the patient thoroughly
snuff into his nose pinch of the powder
until the appearance of lively sneezing.
From the first the effect was truly bril-
liant, the hiccough subsiding as if by
magic.

AMERICAN GOODS ARE

Johannesburg, Transvaal, July 10
At a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce today called to receive the Bit

said they had received similar offers.
This freight Is not remuneratiye, but

SECOND GAM e.

The second game started out well
and for the first three innings there
were promises Of very fine contest.
However. the rains came and the winds
blew and there was a sad letting down
on all hands, the Punahous leading in
this.
One of the mistakes of the day was
made by Punahou when they persisted
in keeping Williamson in the box when
the Males we're batting him all over
the field. Another mistake was made
by Soper who tried to play too many
positions at one time. In fact. the
Punahous cannot play very good los
ing game as was evidenced by a num-
Der of plays at second and third.
The details of the game are very har-
rowing. 1t was a losing game for the
Punahous from the beginning but, OF
course, much of this must be attributed
to the miserable condition of tho
grounds caused by the steady down
pour of rain. At one time, the umpire
was forced to call the game. This was
in the midst of the last half OF the
fifth inning.
Try as hard as the Punahous would,
they could not make more than six
runs. scoring only in the fourth, sixth
and eighth innings. The Males pulled
out with l6 runs. The tale of woe is to
be found in the following summary:
