Old Fashioned Boys Life.

In his mastery address at the COM
m"ncemont of the Columbus High
schools Supt. Dyer of the Cincinnati
schools, drawing the picture between
the boys OF other days and now, said:
'"Thc boy of 4 generation ago had 10
cut the wood, today we turn on the
gas; lie used to drive the COW, today
We reach out and get the milk bottle
from the back porch; he used to run
to the grocery. now the grocer's
wagon stops at the door. The boy
has nothing to do and roams the
street. 1t is the business of our edu-
cational methods to supply physical
training in the elementary grades and
to instruct the boy in the arts Of mind
and hand"
This is q faithful and suggestive pic
ture. There was 4 great deal of
misunderstanding in the ''chores'
that the former boys had to attend
to. Chopping kindling, carrying in
coal. driving the COW to pasture, spad-
ing the garden, mailing a board on the
stable, feeding the chicllons--all had
their educational advantages, just as
definite and far-reaching as the
studies in school. They taught him
reliability, Judgment, responsibility,
the habit Of doing something useful
all greater matters in boys educa-
ton than ability to analyZe an ad-
verbal element or explain Why YOU in-
vert the 1ivisor
Ard right here is the trouble as
pointed cut by MIR. DyCr-therc is
nothing substituted for these aban-
Goncd duties except indifference, idle
ness. thouShtless habits and go-as-
YOU please. And this brings into the
foreground the duty of home, q duty
that seems as obsolete these days as
the old chores that once belonged 20
boydom.
When the schoolhouse and the home
are at lCggerheads-the school fight
ing for the boys upward step, and the
hGme laying carelessness, incidence
neglect in the Way-the outcome OF
the boy is a matter Of serious doubt
The home support Of boys school
life is the best guarantee Of his final
success.-Columbus Journal.

Some Delicious Fruit Desserts.

Huckleberry Pudding-This recipe
calls for two cupfuls of flour, one-half
cupful of granulated sugar, two
cupfuls of berries, one heaping tea
spoonful of baking powder, one-half
saltSpoOnful of salt, one teaspoon
full of butter, and milk to moisten. Mix
thoroughly the sugar, salt and baking
powder with the flour, then rub in a
teaspoonful of butter, and stir in
quickly enough milk to make a batter
which will drop from the spoon. Add
the berries we'll floured, and turn the
mixture into buttered quart pudding
mold. Boil or steam it for half all
hour.
Apple Richelieu-Take out the cores
of we'll favored apples and cut them
crosswise into halves, and then
simmer in sugar and water until
tender. Now set them aside to cool.
Arrange pieces of sliced blanched
almonds straight, and at regular in
tervals, on the fiat sides of the halved
apples. Sprinkle them with powdered
sugar and set in the oven minute
to brown the sugar. Place candied
cherries cut in halves upon the apples
between the almonds. When ready TO
serve put spoonsful of whipped
cream at intervals on a fiat dish and
place the cold apples upon the cream.
or serve the apples on individual
plates with a ring of cream around
each.
Green Gage Pudding-Buttar
quart granite ware basin Arrange
on the bottom a layer of green gage
plums, then fill the dish full of stale
bread cut into dice. Now beat two
eggs enough to break them, and mix
them with two cupfuls of milk. Pour
the egg and milk mixture slowly over
the bread with a spoon, so that the
bread will soak up the liquid. Set
the pudding dish in a pan of water
and bake in a moderate oven thirty
five minutes Let it stand for a
few minutes and then inTert it on a
dish and do not lift it off the tin for
a few minutes longer Serve with d
sauce made Of a cupful of the fruit
Juice from the can, with a heaping
| tablespoonful of sugar added and the
whole boiled until clear
Fig Pudding-Determine the weight
| of three eggs. and then take the same
| weight of butter, sugar, figs and
| breadcrumbs. Chop the figs, put a
little hot water on them and cook
| them to pulp. Crate the bread to
| very fine crumbs. Mix the sugar and
| butter together, add the yolks of the
eggs, then the figs and the crumbs.
and lastly the yolks of the eggs
whipped to a stiff froth. Turn the
mixture into covered quart mold and
steam for two and a half hours; or
put it into individual timbale molds,
set them in pan Of water cover

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
Number Wheel.

There was big frown right between
Winston's eyes and piece OF paper
lying on pudgy knee, with an arlth-
metic underneath. He was dong
sums!
He was six years old, and he could
beat Marjorie every time at tenpins'
but studying was different.
II just don't like these old fgures,
standing up here so still, and they
won't tell me a thing!"
Marjorie sat by with story-book.
She was twelve, and was Winstons
cousin, who had come with her
mamma from way down South. She
knew many funny games that Winston
had never known Now when she
heard the wall in the little boys voice,
she said, as she drew her chair up to
his:
"Oh, let's play number wheel!
"NoW," said Marjorie, 1--WE draw
circle tor the wheel, a little circle in
the middle for the hub, and then fill in
the spokes nine OF them. Next, IN
the spaces between the spokes, we put
in numbers, /, 2, 3, 4, 5, g. {, s. 9, skip
ping about SO they won't he in reSu-
lar order, and in the little hub we put
the big number, TO- Now, We're all
ready, except each of us needs a
tally-sheet with our names at the
top" she said
Winston was enthusiastic by this
time, and laboriously writing Edward
Winston Brown across the top Of his
sheet. while Marjorie Davis appeared
in neat little script at the top of
MarjOrie's sheet.
"Now," said Marjorie, "I'll play first
to show you how. See, [ hold my
percil, point down, way above the
wheel, squinch my eyes tight, Whirl
the pencil in teeny little circles for IL
rlinutc, and then come down with the
point on the circle-and | do hope I'll
get in theAhub on 10!" she almost
squealed, as she opened her eyes when
the pencil had landed; but it came
between the spokes, and she only got
4. The pencil made dot where She
put it down, so when it was lifted
they could see right where it went.
She put 4 down on her tally-sheet.
Then it was Winston's turn.
He ''squnched' up his eyes just as
Marjorie told him, and taking his pen
Gil, held it above the wheel, whirled it
ed it on the hub and got 10 the first
thing! Well he had to dance up and
down before he could put it on his
tHllv-Shcet.
llaycd twice each, and then
added them up, to see who had beat;
and it was funny, but the figures
seemed to tell Winston quicker than
| they ever had before just what two Of
them put together made, and by the
time they had played a few days they
| could each take ten turns before they
added up to see who beat, and Win
ston could add up the long row of
| figures almost as quickly as Marjorie
| could. then they put in bigger num-
| bers, making the hub 100.
| By the time Marjorie went home
Winston said adding up figures was
| just fun-"they tell you what they
| make soon's you look at them. Hur
rah for the old number wheel!''-

Perennial Sunfowers.

The perennial sunflowers need but
little recommendation with their abun-
dance of bright, golden yellow blossoms
and clean foliage. To insure success
how ever, it is necessary that thG
ground to receive the plants is proper
ly prepared beforehand. Thoroughly
we'll trench and loosen the soil, getting
the best on the top; dig in good stable
manure, as the roots of perennials
strike deeply. Spring is the best time
for dividing or planting, but avoid dc.
ing so when the ground is wet or sod
den. Good results are often optainef
by making large holes and then filling
with a light, open compost containing
a fair proportion of leaf mold and
sharp sand Given suitable conditions
most perennials will soon repay the
original small outlay an1 extra trouble
in planting correctly.

Darning Lace.

A few minutes with a lacemaker who
volunteered an explanation of some of
the most used stitches in lace work na-
been q real boon to one woman who
now has a family of girls. With he
trifling knowledge which she received,
although it is many years ago, she has
been able to mend broken mcshes and
rents i'll laces of yokes and cuffs and
other articles of wearing apparel, as
well as of household linens. so that
they can hardly be seen. Any woman
who has dabbled in Mexican drawn
work or in renaissance lace can bring
her knowledge to good account when
ever she finds herself in similar straits
Even valenciennes, with its very fine
mesh, can be mended with very fine
thread in an imitation of the mesh
which will escape ordinary observation
Irish crochet is not at all difficult to
repair nor its imitation. There is a
double lace knot which prevents the
thread from slipping which is needed
for any mesh and a picot such as is
characteristic of Irish lace needs only
a little ingenuity.

The Bridal Chest.

Every fall bride will want a box
to hold the articles of her trousseau
as they are gathered together Beau
tlful boxes of cedar may be purchased
for little. and are made in very con-
venient way. Instead of the lid lifting
up, as did the box Of great grandma
50 long ago, the front may be dropped
down, revealing two drawers to hold
the things, The box locks securely
and the effect is very neat.
Dark cedar boxes are ornamented
with the brides initials in German
letters of solid brass placed on the
false lid

In the dim past. nor holding back in fear
From what the future wells; but with d

So let the way wind UP the hill or down,
Ger rough or smooth, the journey will

And hope the roads last turn will be

Home made Picture Books.

The question how to amuse the little
folks who, going away for the Summer,
are deprived of many of the playthings
to which they are accustomed in their
own homes is puzzling one A clever
woman makes q practise of clipping
from the magazines any illustrations
which will interest the children. These
she cuts out carefully, and, arranging
them to the best possible advantage,
pastes them on sheets of paper cam
brio. These sheets are stitched
together in books, not too large to be
easily handled. These picture books
can find a place in the most crowded
trunk and will help to while away
many an hour on rainy day.

Out in the Fields.

The little cares that fretted me,
l lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The hunming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what may happen
l cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where i'll thoughts die and good are
bOrn,--
Out in the fields with God.

ART OF EXPRESSION.
Advantages of Girl Who Has Learned
Control Of Her Features

The girl who has learned the art of
controlling her features perfectly has
gained great advantage over other
members or her sex. AS she uses her
features so she may be described as
beautiful or plain, interesting or cam
monplace, refined or otherwise
\ perfectly placid countenance rare
y frightened by expression is too apt
to denote insipidity On the other
hand, there are women who glory in
the extremes Of expression Between
the two there is Il happy medium that
should be cultivated
common error into which many
girls fall is that of opening the mouth
wide and raising the brows-which by
the way, causes the forehead to wrin-
klc in manner that in time scores
permanent furrowS-in order to OK
press pleasure. Far more attractive is
the woman who smiles with Il slight
parting OF the lips, at the same time
raising the brows ever SO little.
10 knit the browS in marked diSap-
prevail IS extremely unbecominG, for
expressions of anger and scorn do not
sit we'll on wOman'S countcnancc
Disdain and contempt when expressed
at all may be Signified in Il minor de-
gree by allowing every feature of the
face to relax. The eyes and cyclidS will
