 Try to make this the keynote of the room and go on to have the wall painted or papered, the furniture mended or recov- cred, and encourage him to do all of this he can for himself.

 What of the girl? Generally she is an easier proposition to handle than the boy. She will tell you she Is interested In no end of things" Decide which one of these will give her most pleasure and profit and talk 1t over with her. Perhaps she wishes to learn some kind of needle work or handicraft. like hammering brass or work ing in leather or wood carving.
 Possibly she may care for domestic pur- suits and crave a scientific knowledge of something connected with home economies. Or she may be just girl " and wish for social enjoyments more than anything else dancing classes, good times with the boys anu tue SlilS, anu aii NiiN uAtSAHJ SS natural to young people.
 Discuss these things with her in one of the quiet hours you and she should often have together and don't laugh at her schemes and cravings. If she confesses her aspirations towards benevolent work and her longing to go into settlement, take the subject as seriously as she does and let her talk herself out to you and rid her system of the pressure upon it. The fact that she yearns for these things now is no sign that she will want them year hence. but the thought that she may be preparing for them will help her over the hardness of concluded vacation and renewed routine.

What such an interest may be will depend upon the age and sex of the young peop!e, but the mother love that always sharpens your wits where your children s welfare is concerned will help you to find out a way.

Honey Cake.

II noticed some weeks ago request for a recipe for honey cake, and l have not seen a reply. Therefore l take the liberty and give myself the pleasure of contrib uting the inclosed. which took down from the lips of the eminent cook Mrs Anna Scott of Philadelphia, and have altered very slightly for my own use. The cakes are nice when baked.
 Honey Cake.-Three cups of four sifted twice with two teaspoonfuls of baking pow der. one-half of a cup of white sugar. and the same of milk; one-fourth of a cup of butter. one egg. and a cupful of strained honey.
 Rub and beat the butter and sugar to a cream, stir and beat into this the milk and beaten egg. Do this gradually, whip ping light as you proceed. Now add the honey in like manner and when you have a light. smooth batter. work in the flour with wooden spoon. There should be flour enough to enable you to make the ingre- dents into a soft dough, sufficiently con sistent to be rolled into sheet a little over a quarter of an inch thick. Cut into shapes with your biscuit cutter and bake for eighteen minutes. Keep the pan cov- cred with thick paper for the first half of the time. The cakes should be light and puffy. We call them '. Honev Cookies" and like them.
