An Ancient Irish Custom.

Mr.. Moshers little Bibelot for April
contains Sea Magic and Running Wa
ter by Fiona Macleod. There is
strange power of recording the old
superstitions and sadness of the sea
in that wandering essay, as many
readers know. We quote her account
Of an ancient Irish custom handed
down from pagan days:
"a man and his three sons, on an is
land which / will speak Of only as
south and east of the Minch, went
secretly on the eve Of St Columba's
day year ago and took pail Of milk
from the hyres, and a jug of running
water of a welspriug. and a small
loaf Of bread from the oven, and
red fagot from the fire held in a cleft
stick. The Youngest son threw the fire
into the sea, crying, Here's fire for
you" And the other sons poured on
the black flood the surf white milk
and the rain gray water. crying,
Here's cool water for YOU and Here's
the kindly milk for your And the IA
ther threw the loaf Of bread on the
wave and cried, Peace to your hun

Fruit Fritters.

Fruit fritters are easily made and are
not surpassed for simple desserts. This
recipe for orange fritters is vouched
for by the Cooking Club magazine: One
cupful of sifted flour slightly sailed and
turned into a deep bowl. Make a hole
in the center and drop into 1t the yolk
of an egg which has been we'll beaten
with q teaspoonful of best salad oil.
Mix this to batter, adding water
enough to make the batter just stiff
enough not to run off the spoon. Beat
the white of the egg to stiff froth
and fold lightly in the batter. Drop
slices of orange into the balter, cover
we'll and slide them into hot fat. Fry
to a golden brown, remove with wire
spoon drain we'll and sprinkle with
powdered sugar. Bananas, peaches,
apricots or other firm fruits make
good fritters.

=RUlEBY LOVE-.
A Motto Every Mother should Use In
Governing Her Children.

Governing Her Children.
Many mothers might profit by max

The child heart is so susceptible to tie
influence of affection that it seems Il
wondrous pity that the budding soul
should be hindered by the stumbling
blocks Of severer methods as the little
life develops Love is the only power
that really conquers after all, Battles
won by force are but battles likely to
be fought over again. A rebellious
spirit overcome by love and kindness
Is conquest made permanent.
If a mother desires her child to do
a certain thing. why not, first OF all.
request him to do It, just tie same rs
you would ask it of any other person!
Do this kindly, but with the appear
ance Of one expecting the request to be
granted If the child refuses, explain
to him why you wish him to obey.
If he still draws back, appeal to his
conscience, for the average child Old
enough to understand what is wanted
of him has a conscience sufficiently de
veloped to do its work Say: "Surely
you wish to do what Is right. This is
right, and l expect it Of you" Wheth-
err the child obeys or not, this method
cannot fail to quicken his conscience
and set him to thinking,

Beeswax for smoothing sadiroEs

Wooden clothes should be washed in

A bit of orris root placed among

calicoes dissolve piece of alum the
