The history Of our country is a record
Of the successes Of poor boys who
seemed to be hopelessly shut Off from
books, culture and education, except
that of the most meager kind-from al
most every opportunity for mental de
velopment. The youthful Franklins,
Lincolns, Hamlltons, Garhelds, Grants
and Claytons-those who become presi-
dents, lawyers, statesmen, soldiers, ora
tors, merchants, educators, journalists,
inventors, giants in every department
Of life-how they stand out from the
pages of history, those poor boys, an IN
spiratiOn for all time to those who are
born to fight their way up to their own
loaf!
The yS6th who is reared in luxuri-
GUS home, who from the moment of his
birth is waited on 10y an army of serv-
ants, pampered and INDUCED by over
fond parents and deprived Of every in
centiye to develop himself mentally or
physically, although commonly regard
ed as one 20 be envied, is more to be
pitied than the poorest most humbly
born boy or girl In the land Unless he
is gifted with an unusual mind he is in
danger OF becoming degenerate, a par.
asite, creature who lives on the Ia.

atrophy from disuse.--Success.

Ham naked In Cider.

A ham baked in cider is delicious.
Choose a good lean ham Of about eight
pounds. Wash thoroughly and over the
feshy side sprinkle little chopped
onion. a little Glove and allspice, a
teaspOonful Of cinnamon and a half
teaspoonful Of ground ginger. Make
-four and water into q paste as thick
as dough and cover the ham. Put
skin side down In a roasting pan, ill
up with cider, cook slowly for three
hours, bastlng every ten minutes.
When done. take or the paste and the
rind. An hour before it Is wanted FOR
the table return to the baking pan.

with beaten egg, sprinkle generously
with chopped parsley and breadcrumbs
and let it heat through In the oven. A
gravy can be made by boiling down
the cider in which the ham was first
roasted.
