HOW TO BRo1L AND ROAST BIRDS.

The directions for broiling are the
same for all small birds. Bear in
mind, however, that for the extreme
ly small ones very hot, bright fire
is needed, as the birds should be only
Drowned /; consequently, the time re-
quired for broiling them is very brief.
SINCE and wipe the birds, then split
down the middle of the back, remove
the contents, pound the birds lightly,
to fatten the breastbone, and wipe
thoroughly with damp, clean towel,
taking care that everything is remov-
ed and the birds left perfectly clean
for cooking season with salt and
pepper, rub thickly with soft butter
and dredge with -four. For squads
or quail about ten minutes are re-
quired for broiling. Smaller birds
require less time.
To roast birds, draw and wash
quickly, wipe dry, season with salt
and pepper, and put a thin slice of
pork on the breast; put the birds in
a shallow pan in hot oven, and bake
for fifteen or twenty minutes. Part
ridges require forty minutes. Serve
on toast with currant jelly and with
bread sauce, which is made in the
following way: One pint of milk,
one half cupful of fine bread crumbs,
two tablespoonful of chopped onion,
one tablespoonful of butter, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one-half salt
spoonful of white pepper, two-thirds
of a cupful of coarse bread crumbs,
and another teaspoonful of butter.

CALIsTHENICs FOR GIRLS.

What is the best form of exercise
Tor girl? is a question often asked.
One thing certain. 1t should be
such as will develop alike all parts of
the body If the chest is hollow it
must be expanded and the lungs in
creased in size. If the shoulders are
rounded they must be exercised until
they acquire the proper degrees of
fiatness. If the arms are thin the
muscles must be developed and
strengthened.
Thus it is plain that there can be
no one best form of exercise. To at
tempt to train a girls mind by fore
ing her to follow single line of
study, as Latin or mathematics, for
example, would be no greater folly
than to try to develop her physically
by the practice of single form of ex-
Srelse, as walking or swinging In
In physical culture, the first thing
to ascertain is the capacity of the
lungs. How often do you draw
full breath? When standing with
the arms and hands extended before
you and after taking a full inspira-
ton, can you touch the hands behind
the back without the desire to cough?
Can you touch the back of the hands
in this position, or make the elbows
meet without assistance?

DON'T LOOK FOR THE FLAWS.

Don't look for flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has hint of the light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding
1t is better far to hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs every way
To the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste curse on the universe;
Remember it lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your puny form,
But bend, let it fly DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole life long
And the sooner you know it the better.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle,
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan,
As the water shapes into the vessel.
Ella Wheeler WiLcor.

THE cow AND HER DOCTOR.

1t is believed that in all cases pup
pies are born blind. A millionaire
dog fancier has two that were not
only born blind, but have remained
so. He values them at $500 each.
At first it was decided to send them to
veterinary surgeon for treatment.
The matter was discussed pro and
con. The veterinary" it was sug-
gested, treats only horses and cows
he knows nothing of dogs. Singu-
larly enough, Notwithstanding there
are dogs a plenty worth $40, 900 each,
we have no famous dog doctors. 1t
is still more strange that we have
many horses that are valued at from
10000 to SIS, 900, and have never
had great veterinary surgeon.
There are COWS in the herd of Nor
ton, Rockefeller, Twombly and Have
meyer worth $780, 900 each, but we
have no celebrated COW doctors. Last
year one of these animals was taken
with collie, and an ordinary, every
day physician was sent for. He cur
ed the COW, and his fee was $500.
Such is a statement going the rounds
of the papers. We do not believe
that portion which asserts we have no
great veterinary surgeons. This
country of late years has established
fine veterinary colleges, and their
graduates compare favorably with
those of the regular medical schools.
The old-time COW doctor is no more.
His successor is one of good training
and treats his brute patients with
knowledge and science. Passing this,
we again wish to show the value of
having rich men taking an interest in
farming and the raising of the best
stock. Every place we are seeing
the effect of experiments made by
men who can afford the expense. A
$40, 900 COW is not kept for special
and unproductive delight. Her pro-
geny at length becomes the property
of the poor man at large, and in time
the whole land is improved. Again,
such a high-priced COW me'zes the
veterinary a necessity. The more
valuable animals become the more
competent the COW, horse and dog
physician.

AssA1Is G1vERs OF WEALTH.

There are men today who are
giving their millions to endow col
leges and Libraries whose wealth has
been obtained in direct contradiction
to the Golden Rule and the princi-
pies taught by Christ.
This was one of the striking asser-
tons made by the Rev. DIR. James M.
Buckley editor ofthe Methodist Chris
tan Ad0onate, in a sermon t the
First Congregational Church, in
Montclair, N. j., recently.
The subject of his address was
Trade Unions, and the Dangers that
Confront the Republic" DR.. Buck
ley has been personally investigating
many strikes, and has studied the
questions of trade unions. He said

change in the relations of labor and
capital. It seems as if both have
thrown Christian conduct and COM
mon sense to the winds.
Things have been going from bad
to worse and labor unions have now
assumed so arrogant an attitude that
a great crash is almost inevitable.
You have only to read the history of
Rome, changing names and dates, to
see what this country is coming to.
Instead of trying to settle the
vexed questions of capital and labor
along Christian lines you have great
organized selfshness.
The greatest and most arrogant
trust is the Labor Trust. 1t is dom
ineered and oficered by irresponsible
walking delegates, who pursue pol
icy of rule or ruin. Conditions in
great centres of population are only
growing worse, the number of poor is
on the increase, and we are getting in
immigrants, not as formerly the An
glo-Saxons and Germans, but mostly
those from Southern Europe, Italy
and Bohemia, who readily lend them
selves to the most reckless of trade 4
unions.
''It is a time for thoughtful men to
face the future with earnest prayer,
for it is time so try mems souls. A
trade union is all right until it en-
croaches upon personal liberty and
then it must be checked.

and many rich women who have
horses and carriages and are appar-
emily leaders of fashion will be
brought to want. History repeats it.
self and we can not SOW the wind and
hope to escape from reaping the whirl-
wind.
''The only solution of these great
labor problems is in the practical ap-
plication of Christian principles. The
rich man must regard the poor man
as his brother, and the latter must s.
serve the rich with faithfulness, dill
gence and sincerity. 4
I'VE can not expect the walking
delegate or even the President of the
United States to settle these questions
of capital and labor. Nor can politi-
clans improve the situation. We must
apply the simple truths of Christiani-
ty and act on them at once or face
the de1uge.

suffering will be terrible"

EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE.

Every man to his trade means
plainly enough" said Prof. Won Jog
gleby, "that one should not try to do
work to which he hasn't been train
ed this applys, of course, as we'll
to the learned with regard to work
with which they are not familiar as
to the unlearned with regard to things
of which they are ignorant but,
long as I have been acquainted with
this sayings significance, am, nev-
ertheless all the time discovering new
evidences of the universality of it's
scope. For instance
"True as 1 knew the old saying to
be, should really have thought that
1 could hang out clothes to dry, on a
clothesline, without any previous
training that anybody could hang
out clothes that all there was to do
in this was to hang them out. But
now I know different.
"From my study windows in my
new home I command a view of a
range of back yards, in which every
Monday morning, if the day is propi-
tious, and on sundry other days
through the week with lesser wash
ings, clothes are hung out to dry.
Now, what do the washers do? Just
bring the things out and hang them
on the line, as I would have done?
Never
''But every time before hanging
out anything suitable preparation is
made for it. The laundress or other
servant who is doing this work ap-
pears with cloth which she throws
over the line and over which she then
clasps her fingers; and then, holding
the cloth on it thus, she walks down
the yard rubbing the line with it,
wiping the line free of dust.
ga simple thing? Why, very
But 1 never knew anything about
wiping off the line, l never heard OF
such thing till 1 saw it done, in the
manner described, from my study
window. If I had had any clothes to
hang out l should have just hung
them out, never doubling, as I said,
that l could do it as we'll as anybody,
and as result 1 should have had, on
every piece 1 put out, a fine dirt
streak where it had rested on the
dusty line. But the washer knew
how.
(Which leads me to say-though
for that matter I have felt this way
as long as 1 can remember-that the
older grow the more respect / feel
for every craftsman and for every
laborer, in whatever work engaged.
There may be things that 1 do that
they couldn't, but l know that there
are many things that they do, includ-
ing work in even the most common
place occupations, that I couldn't
touch at all.
There's an art in every trade"

He was an Englishman, and al

Try it, not once, but often. If
you cannot accomplish the feat at
first, keep at it until you can do so,
and you will find that the lungs are
expanding and the rounded shoulders
becoming Strengthened.
With the lungs demanding more
air, the blood will become better oxy-
genated, the eyes will grow brighter,
the cheeks ruddier and the brain
clearer.
Standing erect, swing the body
around from the hips till your face is
where the back of your head was.
Then swing first around to one side
and then to the other in this way
twelve times, and then let the body
hang limp from the waist, the arms
hanging dead and motionless.
Whirl the head around, letting it
hang over at the neck as it were
broken. Hang it backward, then in
front, then to each side, and finally
straighten the head, stretch the neck
high and relax. These exercises
make waist lines trim and the head
and throat supple.
Then come the arms. Stretch
them and strain in all direction, up
and out and down. Whirl them like
mill wheel, stretch them to the
back, clasp them to the front and
over the head and pull hard. Lock
them together behind the waist.
The fingers must be exercised next.
Thrust them out stiff and hard, strain
ing them with force and at arms
length Then close them into tight
fist and bend them up and down over
and over again. Shake them until
they are limp and dead and relaxed.
The girl who is able to go through
with these movements easily and
gracefully will become in time as
plant as blade of grace.
The same position must be main
tained during these exercises-the
back straight, but with the definite
curving in of the small of the back,
the abdomen fattened and the chest
thrown out.
The correct standing position gives
an erectness of figure and good poise
of the head. She who wishes to pre-
serve the slimness and contour of her
figure must begin by learning to stand
we'll and to hold the body erect when
seated. Always preserve erectness
and poise until it becomes second ma
ture.
The figure is kept youthful in this
way, because muscles are made firm
and strong.
"IT STRIKES me that Brimken de-
serves a great deal of credit"
"He never impressed me as brainy
man"
''That's just the point. When a
man with so little brains as Brimken
has managed to be so prosperous, I
can't help feeling that he must pos
sess some great and mysterious su-
periority."
