A Mothers Conclusions.

Much of the dreadfulness of boys
from six to sixteen is due to the fact
that in so very few homes a hoy can
be natural without disturbing every
thing ano everyone. But who ever
thinks of providing a place for the
boys in which to keep their treasures
undi-turbed, where they can make
all the noise they like? If a man
needs a den to relax in, and every
one seems to grant that he does
how much more does a growing boy 4!
Is it not dreadful to think of a live
boy in an deliberately furnished room,
and all the other members of the
family nagging him to keep still?
If mothers would give anything
like the!amount of study and pains to
their boys and the conditions which
will bring the best results, that thos g
do who succeed with house plants,
we might have growing boys instead
OF what we so often see, boys hard
and Indifferent to everyone. know
woman who thought best never to
show sympathy when her little boy
got hurt, and if he cried would ex-
claim, "You must be a man, not a
little cry baby" He soon stopped
looking for sympathy, poor little
fellow, and he does not know the
feeling toward any other living
creature, and 1 doubt if he ever can.
He was loving, tender child, but it

apt to "make havoc" as the other, il
such is their bent. Good Rousekeep-

THE SELECTION OF A LlFE-WORK,

Forcing young people into the first
situations that they can possibly fill.
regardless of aptness, is wrong that
is often irreparable. In many cases
society as whole is to blame, for
poverty knows no higher law, but
when parents able to do differently
thus ipconsiderately ruin their chill
dren's future, no condemnation can be
too strong.
l know number of young people
having marked ability in certain
lines, who are probably capable of
making great regulations, but who
are held back by parents who do not
happen to think it wise or prudent
for their children to strive to express
what the Creator has locked up
within them, and so they are
cramped and unhappy. 1t is serious
business, even for parent, to stife
God-given ambition, to dampen
divine aspiration. If decided talent
has been put into a child, a parent
should think many times before
taking the responsibility of counter
handing the Creators order.
Every child comes into the world
with sealed orders from the Infinite
hand, and even the fondest parent
cannot certainly read the secret
message written within that bit of
clay. The child has certain inalien-
able rights which even the parent has
no right to question or try to modify.
Selecting a life-work is serious
business. 1t should be done only
after careful study and test of apti-
tudes, fitness, and tastes, by both the
person choosing and those having
authority with him, unless his bent
speaks so loudly in his blood, and his
dominant faculties are so imperative
in their expression of choice that he
cannot mistake the calling for which
he is fitted. 1t is everything to a boy
or girl to get into just the right
place, where the highest and noblest
faculties will find healthy and de-
lightful exercise, instead of the low
est and meanest. To do the kind of
work for which one is fitted by
nature, and to do it to the best of
ones ability, is working along the
lines of ones strength, which in
creases with every well directed
effort.-Success.

THANKSGIVING SUGGESTIONS.

Cranberry Jelly-Add one cup OF
water to one quart of cranberries and
cook until the fruit is quite soft
strain through a jelly bag, add one
pound of graduated sugar, boil fifteen
minutes longer aud set in a cold
place until firm. This may be poured
into fancy mold or into dainty TO-
dividual molds. For the latter egg
cups do very nicely. A shallow
square or oblong enameled pan is
also very nice for molding cranberry
jelly, as it may then be easily cut into
blocks and piled log cabin fashion on
a glass; plate. The rich ruby trans
lucent squares form a eau'iful color
note on the Thanksgiving table.
Cranberry Sauce-Stew one quart
of cranoerries in one pint of water
until the skins burst, then add one
pint of graduated sugar, and simmer
for twenty minutes longer. This
may be nodded like jelly. The addi-
ton of small cup of water will make
delicious sauce for luncheon or tea.
Steamed Cranberry Pudding
Cream together one-half cup of
butter and one cup of sugar, add
gradually one cup of milk, and one
and one-half pints of -four in which
have been sifted three teaspoons of
baking powder and one teaspoon of
salt. Lastly, stir in two we'll beaten
eggs aud two cups of cranberries
dredged with flour. Turn into a but
tered mold, cover closely, and steam
two hours. Serve hot with sweet
sauce.
Potato and Bread Stufing-Pare
raw potatoes and cut in dice to the
amount of two cupfuls. Soak in cold
water over night. Drain and dry in a
| towel, and saute in hot lard to a pale
brown. Have ready an equal ouap-
| tity of stale bread cubes and saute
these in hot butter until crisp and
brown. Mix the two ingredients.
season with level teaspoon of salt.
a busting of paprika and a dessert
| spoon of sage pulverized.
Potato and Butternut Stuffing-M
together thoroughly one quart of
boiled, mashed, and sifted potato.
IWO quarts Vi SOU Or6dO crumbs, one
cup of butternut meats, blanched
and sliced very thin, a teaspoon of
poultry seasoning, the beaten yolks
of two eggs and half cup of cream.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pun pkin Custard-This is a de-
| hcious dessert to serve for the
Thanksgiving supper: pare and cut
sufficient pumpkin to make two quarts
OF blocks, and put them into a
steamer With one cup of water and
half a teaspoon of salt; steam until
perfectly tender. There should not
be a particle of water when the
pumpkin Is done. Press through a
sieve, add two tables poons of butter
and stand in the Ice box over night.
The mex morning add to the pump
kin pint of rich milk, three eggs
beaten with one cup of powdered
sugar, a teaspoon of powdered CHINA
mon and the grated rind and Juice OF
one lemon. Turn this mixture into
small custard cups, and bake in a
moderate oven for one hour. Sery G

Good Advertisement for an Employer.
A man who cannot treat bis en-
ployees so that they will always
regard him as a friend, no matter
whether they are working for him or
afterwards for themselves, has failed
somewhere. There is something
wrong when employees, who have
been long time with you, and have
left you, do not write to you or come
to see you, or ask your advice, or
speak we'll of you. You are losing
not only their respect and a great
deal of helpfulness from them, but a
| great deal of profitable advertising,
which you might have for your bust
ness. The best advertisement you
can have, even better than that of a
satisfied customer, is contented en-
ployees. Wherever they go, they
speak your praises, and tell what a
fine business yours is. This free ad
vertisiug by employees is worth, to
some concerns, small fortune every
year. On the other hand, adverse
free advertising by employees who
work for contemplate employers

Wexford, Ireland, June A. 1881, and
came to Savannah, Dec. g. 1851. He

In the Civil War he was a member
of the Irish Jasper Greens and before
the close of the war he was taken pris-

with several of his comrades, and was
taken to Fort Leavenworth. His suf-
ferings there were such as to impair
his health for years afterwards, and
finally resulted in paralysis in 1880.

though. The immediate cause of his
death was congestion of the lungs, the
result of a cold contracted a week ago.
