Tea Rusks.â€" In one pitt of new milk dissolve one jeast cake; add three eggs, one cup of sugar, and two ounces of butter, with enough flour to roll out; let rise; when very light mould Into small cakes and set to rise bake in a quick oven when done cover the.top with 6ugar dissolved m milk. .: „ â- " -- â- *' â€" ' Rice Snow Ballsâ€" Boil ore half pint of rice until soft, in a quart of water add one-half teaspoonfnl of salt. Make boiled custard of the yelks of 3 egga, 1 pint of sweet milk and one teaspoonful of oorr- Btarch fl*vor with lemon. Pot the rice in small cups, and when perfectly cold put the rice balls in a dish, pour over the cus- tard and serve. Good Vinegae.â€" Molasses, one quart yeast, one pint warm rain water, three gallons. Bat into a jug or keg and tie a piece of gauz3 over the bung to keep out flisB and let in air. In hot weather set in sun; in cold weathsr set it by the stove in three weeks you will have good vinegar. Whea part of this has been used fill up with the same prepara- tion. Delicate Spoxge Biscuit.â€" Take a half pound of flour, three-fourths pounds sifted sugar. Bsat the whites cf six eggs by them- selves, add the beaten yolks and toss thetn together. Put in them a little grated lemon peel, then the sugar, aud flirt well with an egs V. iiiik. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon, and put the mixture in small patty- pans to bake, Tvith sifted sugar to glaze, sprinkled over the top. Cold Slaw.â€" An excellent dish for hot weather. Cut the cabbage very fine. For a quart of cabbage take the yolks of three egga, beat ihem well one and one half cup of vinegar; two large spoonfuls of sugar, one cup of thick cream, a teaspoDnful of mustard, salt and pepper. Mix this with the eggs. When hot add the cabbage cover and stew until it is thoroughly hot. Let it cool before bringing to the table. Save Bread Crumbs. â€" With a little care every part of the bread can be utilized. All the odda and ends of crusts should be spread evenly on a pan and allowed to dry in a warm oven. When quite dry put them in a small bag made of ticking or canvas and pound them fine with a mallet. Sift them and put them in empty fruit cans. They will keep for months, and can be used for breading meats, fish, croquettes, omelettes and making dressing for fowls. Oil of bays (huile de laurier) is extensively used in Switzerland by butchers to keep their shops free from flies, and after a coat of this oil has been applied to the walls none of these troublesome pests venture to put in an appearance. This remedy has been tried and found eflfectual in the south of France in preserving gilt frames, chandeliers etc. from becoming soiled. It is even remarked that flies soon avoid the rooms where this application has been employed. Chicken Rissoles. â€" Take cold baked chicken left from dinner, free the meat from the bones and chop fine. Rub a little dried bread into fine crumbs, and to thu add any heated liquor of chicken or hot water, and moisten the bree^d thoroughly. To a pint bowl-full of crumbs and meatâ€" the propor- tion may be ais necessity makes it â€" allow 1 teaspoonful of salt, 1 of pepper, 1 of si(t3d sage, and 1 heaping teaspoonful of butter. Make into little cakes, dust with flour, and fry to a light brown. Corn Starch Pie. â€" Put one pint of sweet milk on the stove and when boiiinc hot stir into it the yolks of two eegs and oite table- spoonful corn starch after faavicg Stirred them smoothly put in a little cold milk stir briskly when it has boiled remove from the fire, add one heaping tableppocnful white sugar and one tablespoonf ul It man extract. Stir well and then pour this custard into a baked pie crust. B^at the two whites to a stiff froth and add two heaping tablespoon- fuls white sugar spread over the pies, put in the oven and brown the frcsting delicate- ly. Set away to cool the colder it is the nicer. aome one else do and aU the way up from earliest infancy, human beings are creatures of imitation. Hence the truth of the oft re- peated assertion that children become just what their parents see fit to make them. Consciously or unconscionaly, an example is constantly being enacted sore to be followed by the little folks, and a bad or pernicious example will be copied quite as readily as a good t-nd beneficial one. reroperance speak- ers are fond of repeating the Uttle incident of a boy, who, on sitting down with his father to dinner at a hotel, was asked by the waiter what he would have to drink, and replied, " Whatever father has." Any suspicion that hU father could order anything harm- ful never entered the boy's mind. But the power of example is by no means confined to children or young people. Men and women are constantly influencing one another in various and countless ways. An amusing story has been told in print of a lady who, taking tea with a neighbor one night re- " How nice your ginger-bread looks and taites; I used to have it for supper quite regularly, but at last decided that it was a needless expense with my large family, so as a matter of economy I stepped making it â- ' " Well," replied her hostess, " I've often thought of that, for our family is quite as large as yours, but as all seemed to enjoy the ginger-bread so much when supper time came, I have kept on making it." The next night when the family of the lady who had invited, gathered about the tea table, there was a plate of beautiful, tempting ginger-bread. To the remarks of satisfaction, which were expressed, she re- plied " Well, I find our neighbor over the way thinks she can afford to have ginger-bread for supper, and if she can, I don't see why we can't also." But at the neighbor's over the way, there was no ginger- bread on the table when the family assembled for the evening meal. To the dissatisfied looks and words, to which the look gave rise, the mother replied " Well, Mrs. So-and-So across the street- baa no ginger-bread for supper, as she thinks it a needless expense, and if it is st;ch for her I am sure it must be for us also." V hether this particular case is true or not there are myriads of like cases transpiring in very truth every day. Our words and deeds are indeed like the pebble droped into the pond, their influence is felt to the uttermost bound of the senaicive surface, until there can be no estimate of the amount of icflaence wielded either for good or for ill, neither can there be any recall. As to personal rasponsibility in the matter of influence, that query has been met and as- Ewered away back in the early chapters of the Bible. When one man dared to ask " Am I my brother's keeper " the stern voice of A TEIFLING MISTAia It was a very busy day at Storrs Jack- son's. All the country onstomers had come in to make their purchases for the week, whith they always did on Saturdays, rain or shine. The five over-worked clerks were rushing here and there striving to be in half a dozen places at onoe, and old Storrs him self, smiling and obsequious, was bowing in th3 carriage customers, and giving a more familiar greeting to the plainly dressed people who were not likely to run up a long bill. " Just look at old Storrs bowing and scraping to Mrs. Walton," Tom Jarvis whicpared to one of his fellow clerks. " Wonder if he won't have a crick in his fat back to-night." " Oh, he's bowing to the hundred- dollar bill he expects to get out of her," the other answered. "She talks big about her in- difference to expense, but all the same she holds on to her money with a tight grip. Those newly rich people always do. But I'll bet the Boss is more than a match for her." Mrs. Walton, a stout, vulgar, pretentious woman, sailed into the store with her head thrown back, and what she considered a haughty carriage. She had been wealthy a very short time â€" ^not long enough to forget the value of the dimes, which were scarce enough in her days of poverty, and to keep a sharp lookout over them, but yet striv- ing to impress others with her indifference to expense. Parsimony and ostentation waged a perpetual battle in her mind. ** I do hope you're goin' to wait on me yourself, Mr. Storrs," siie said loftily. " The last time I was here I had a stupid fellow who didn't know real valenshun lace from imitation." She did not add that she was ignorant of the difference herself, until one of the other clerks pointed out the mis- take. "Yes, sir, that's just what he did. I never wear any but the real thing, and I don't care what it costs." '• Oh, of course, of course. Madam," Mr. Storrs answered, obs'qnioualy. "A lady of your fortune wouldn't be seen with that cheap stuff on you. Most people oan't afford the price of real laces, so we're obliged to keep all kinds on hand. You shall have the best clerk in the establishment to-day. I only wish it was in my power to wait on you myself, but I am compelled to give my personal supervision to a large country order. Here, you," â€" to one of the cjiah boys,^" tall Mr. Allen to come here im- mediately. I don't care whether he's busy or not, I want him." In a few moments a bright, intelligent- looking lad of about eighteen hurried up. " Here, Mr. Allen, I want yon to wait on Mrs. Walton. Show her the best qualities of our goods. Those handsome lace fichus, and the velvet mantle we opened to-day. It will suit your figure to perfection. Madam None but a stately, queenly person ought to wear that style of mantle." Henry Allen checked a smile as he glanced at the portly figure of the lady. She spoke to him in a peremptory tone, as Mr. Storrs bowed himself off: " Yon needn't show me no velvet mantles, young man. I got mine from Toronto, and it cost me one hundred dollars. I reckon I want to see them new silks Mr. Storra said yon have got Yon're mighty young, seems to me, to God replied that that brother's blood was crying to him from the ground. Elude and evade the question now, as to the importance of our example over others as we may, the solemn fact of there being a great responsi- bility in this respect, of which we ought at least to be aware, will face each one of as sooner or later. Many a conscientious man and woman has refrained from participation in pleasures, or engagements they felt con- vinced would be powerless to harm them, for ..„:_„ fear of the influence they might exert over I J^r "r.^i^^^ %^J^l others, were their example followed. Uow many thousands have been led to the Saviour and into church through the example of others, only the judgment day will reveal. Alas I that there moat be a reverse aide to thb oonaideratioD, that there must be those who will have to realize then, that through their lax, indifferent example, tbere^ were those who regarded religion as an unimpor- tant, meaningless thing I It often needs but a word spoken in season to open the eyes wide, and to stir the heart to a sense of the deepiealitiesandresponsibilitiosrestingupon each one of the Lord's true followers. In following the best and highest example ever known, that of our Pattern and Redeemer, our o^n example will become worthy of imi- tation, and the irflnence we exert will be for good. Home lioflaeiice- 1* a mother does not lay aside her courtesy with her company drees, if a father is as re- fined in speech when the door has closed after the euest as he was when they convers- ed together, the child will learn to be habit- ually xolite and modest. For good manners are better taught by example than by pre- cept. The wcman who wrote the " Practical Thoughts of a Mother," says she has often noticed that girls who have gro?ra up in retirement and simplicity, have shown when placed in the great world, such elegant tact, and behavior as to astonish high-born ladies. " Where has the little one learned it " exclaims some one of them. " She behaves lilre a queen and my daughter, who has teen educated in Paris, only just look at her 1 there she stands and turns her back to that lady how improper I" The mother dops not reflect that her daughter has been taught many rules of behavior, but retains very few. But " the little one" has imbibed courtesy with the air of her home. Her mother has taught her few rules of politeness, but has set an ex- ample of high-bred courtesy. The girl has acquired so unconsciously the art of polite behavior that she feds what is and what ia not "good form." In her home she has never known a word, a look, an act that differs from Ae acts, words and looks used in polite society. When she first stepped from her father's house into an assembly room where well- bred people had gathered, she simply transferred herseU to a larger but not differ- ent sphere. Her requests are entreaties, favors are returned by thanks, little acts of service are done quietly as a matter of course, and a spirt of kindness and consideration ia aaao dated with all ahe aaya and doea beoanae her father and mother were kind, polite, conaiderate at home. If her mother aud anything to her daugh- ter aa she waa leaving the houae to go to the fint party, it waa aimply, " Behave juat aa if yon were at home." Bub no mother can be thna laoonio, in whose home good behavior and tacr are not aaaociated with the everr-day life of tho family. Example aad Lifiaence The first thing a cfaQd attempts to do is Frirges, which for some years have been neglected as trimmings, have again been taken into fashionable favor. Herbertâ€"" Really, Miss Edith, 1 am very sorry I kissed you. I didn't think what I was doing. It is a sort of temporary in- sanity in our family." Miss Edith (pity- ingly) â€" «« If you ever feel any more such at- tacks coming on you had better come right heie where your infirmity is known, and we will take care of you." It is a matter for great thankfulness that the crop all over Canada is turning out far belter than was at one time supposed possi- ble. The croakers or the schemers have as usual been at work and have for the time succeeded in making people believe that the lookout was blue. The truth, however, is now coming out, and it is evident that more money will as a general thing come into the farmers' pockets than for years past. Some, of course, have suffered, and will not be able to rejoice. But these will be few com- pared with those who will sell a great deal and get most encouraging prices for all they dispose of. This is much to be rejoiced in. Nobody can be glad that the European crops have fallen ao far abort of an average. At the aame time when auch ia the fact it is a matter for thankful- ness that Canadian farmers can ao far supply the deficiency and in this way do both themselves and their neighboora a good turn. It is eapecially gratifying to know that the damage done by froat in the North West has not been nearly ao great as was at firati atated. The froat strack very capriciously, aome farma being laid entirely desolate whUe others not far off were scarcely touched. Upon the whole, however, it ia on good grounds expected that after supplying aU local wants for food and seed there will be eleven millions of bnahela for export and that wilih the enhanced prices going meana a great amotmt of money Drought into the oonntry. There can now be no longer any doubt abont the surpassing richneaa of the aoil in the Noith West. The depredators of the country, whatever their motives, liave now to be suent and a bright conrae of proaperity ia, hnmanly apeaking, in atore for the great lonelamd. Canadians scarcely realize what a wide fair land they have reoeived as an heritage. It is only by degrees that the facts in all their fofawM and magaitode are being aaoertidned, and that people are wakoiing up to aometting lil:e a knowledge of the TasCBSSs and Tariety of resonroea to be metwttb in the Dominion. So be it. There are happf homes for many additional millions between Ospe Breton and Taneonver Idud, ud Qnadians are alsaoet inraiiamy so m eth ing it has aeen J not gring to f wd their M^aBtagw »way, in. know much abont the quality of goods," ahe added, with a suspicious look. " I have been clerking ever since I waa twelve yeara old. Madam," he anawered, respectfully. "Be yon any relation of old William Allen, who died round here three years ago " was the next qaestton. A hot flash crept up into the bay's face, and hia voice faltered, a little aa he answer- ed, "I am his son, madam." Would he never get over the shame of being his father's son Would his years of hard nrork and strict honesty never outweigh the chance circumstance of his birth Be cauee his father had been a drunkard, and only by a lucky accident had escaped con- vict ion for forcing his employer's naine, was he, innocent, to bear through life the burthen of at other's sin? Henry Allen's eyes were cast down, but he could /eel the woman's contemptuous look, and her tone was more arrogant than usual when she spoke " I wish you'd hurry with those silks, young miLU, and don't you go to ehow me any that -ain't all silk. You can't cheat me in goods. I'm up to all ycnr trade triofaa. Does old Storrs allow yon a percent- age on the goods yon sell, or pay you a salary " " He gives his clerks a regular salary," waa the answer. " Well, then, it ain't so much to your profit to cheat as if your living depended on it," with a coarse laugh. " When I hear of a clerk getting a percentage, I keep my eyes open, I tell yon. I don't like those dingy-colored ailka. Show me some- thing brighter." " But these browna and graya are very handsome and fashionable, madam," remon- strated Henry Allen. "They're coo grave for me. I'm not a Quaker." Henry, looking at her brickdnat-colored akin and shapeless figure, thought that the gravest oolora were needed to tone down aach marked imperfectiona, but it waa hia businesa to aell to hia onatomera, and not to cultivate their taste. After a deal of tosaing and turning over the gooda, pulling them to see if they were strong, pleating tiiem to aee if they cracked, Mra. Wsdton chose a bright shades of manve, the very shade to ahow off her defecta of dbmplexion and figure, bnt ahe waa jubilant over it until it came to paying the bilL Then she haggled over the price, and it waa useless for Henry to remind her that he was not the owner of the atore, and oonld not deduct from the atated price. " Here I've gone and bought laoea, and embroideriea, tatd a ailk dreaa, run np a bill of over a hundred dollara, and yon won't take a cent off 1 It'a juat a awindle, that'a what it ia bnt when people have money, everybody takea a turn at cheating them. Well, I Buppoae I've got to pay." She felt in her aatohcl for her pocket- book, bnt changed color when die fonnd it waa not there. « rm sue I not it n^ saitdMl," alie said, nmvaaiUjr. " Bnt no, I remember when I was lookin' at them lace fichoos yonder, I took it ont and pnt it ont on the oonntor." •• Yonll be snre to find it thwe, then," said Henry, aidi^ to tiie next au^ntif* '*Ko one has^tonAed these laces slue 1. shewed them to yon." The co«inter waa piled wit Uow Mid embroideries. Piece aftiv pieoe wsi fiftedl bnt no poobat hook was TisiU«. M y Walton's broad face grew reader and redder aa the aearoh progreaaed. " I can a wear on a stack of Bibles I laid it right here, young man," ahe cried in a shrill, angry voice. ' I was lookin' at this here valenshun fiohoo, and I laid my pocket- bock under it. There waa three hundred dollars in it, and it's got to be found." " What is the matter, Mrs. Walton t" said Mr. Storrs, who had hurried up, hear- ing her raised, angry voice. "Matter enough I reckon. I'm willin' to spend my money freely, but I ain't goin' to lose three hundred dollars in bank noted. I laid my pocket-book right here, and it's gone." " Has any one been to thdb counter since you left it. Mr. Allen " asked Mr. Storrs sternly. The young man was pale with indignation at the woman's tone and looks, but he answered quietly "No one, sir. We only left the laces a few minutes ago, and I think it possible Mrs. Waltcn is mistaken as to the place she left her pocket-book." "I tell yon, Mr. Storrs, I put it ri^bt here," she cried, vehemently. "I never forget where I lay my money. It's my opinion yon needn't look further than that young Allen to find it. I oan't understand what you meant by takin' him as a clerk after all his father's disgrace. I'm goin' home now, but I want you to understand I ain't goin' to lose that money quietly. " ' The whole place shall ba searched, Madm," Mr. Storrs said, nervously rubbing his hands. "I'm confident if it has been left here, it will be found." " I guess if you go the right way to work," with a contemptuous look at Henry, "You'll be pretty apt to find it." She swept away, her head higher than usual, and Mr. Storrs turned furiously upon the young man, who stood pale and silent before him. I " Come to my office, sir, and we'll inves- tigate this mat'er," he said. "Now, hand over that money without a word," he Baid, when they reached there. j "VVhy, do you believe I stole it, Mr. j Storrs " he cried. I swear to you I never! saw the pocket-book. I don't believe she i ever brought it to the store. Surely, sure- ' ly, knowing me as well as you do, you can- i not really think I would commit such a crime 1" "Ho V do I know when bad bloud is going I to crop out?" his employer answered, bru^- i ally. "I ran a risk in taking you on, and now I'm going to suffer for it. You've got to be searched, sir, and to avoid scandal in my establisiawnent, I'll do it myself, instead of sending for a policeman. You needn't resist " "Resist I" the unhappy boy drew himself up proudly. I would have insisted upon a search even if you had not proposed it." He said no more. In tie agony of his humiliation he uttered no protest, made no assertions of innocence, but when the una- vailing search was over, he said to ' hia employer "I hope, sir, you are satisfied 1" "Satisfied I no, I'm not. You haven't got the money on your person, but perhaps yon dropped it somewhere in the store when yon were suspected. You'll stay in here while I have the place searched." For hours Henry Allan sat there, his fac« buried in his hands. He knew that the mere anspicion Of the theft was quite suffi- cient to ruin him in theoommnnity where he lived, and hia father ha dsinned. He thonght of his mother and little ai»ter, and how he would be forced to leave them to make a living among atrangers, and another home for them, for they could not live without him. But could he do it? Would not this base suspicion cling to him like a leprosy The terrible, burthen of an inheritance of shame seemed to crush out all hope and strength from his sore young heart, and yet he bad tried so hard to do right I The entranoe of Mr. Storrs roused him, and he looked up enquiringly. " No, the money has not been found," his employer said harshly, " and I don't say you took it. Dare say the woman dropped it in the street I But all the same, Allan, I can't keep you here. It would ruin my business, and she's got an awful tongue, and would go abont saying all kinds of things about my establishment, where I keep thieves as clerks. It was a cruel ordeal for Henry Allen to carry the bad news to his mother. She met it as good mothers do M over the world, thank God for them I She felt it acutely, but she spoke cheerfully and hopefully, dwelling on his innocence, and trying lo make him feel that only a sense of guilt should crush a man, and humiliate him be- fore his fellow-men. She succeeded, and it was with a brave heart Hanry turned his back on his old home, and went to seek em- ployment in a city in another proven iie. About a month after the occurrence I have related, Mrs. Walton drove up to the establishment of Storra Jackson, and, seeing Mr. Storra in the door- way, beckoned him t} her. He went with a sinking heart, believing that she was going to annoy him about her missing money. Perhaps to avoid a scandal, he would be forced to pay it. But to hia aurpriae. ahe turned a gracious and smiling countenance to him. "Got in your fa'l gooda, Mr. Storrs?" ahe called out " I haven't been here for an age, have I Why, I do believe the last time was when I made such a fuss about my pocket-book 1 Would you believe it," with alond laugh, " the very first thing my eyes lighted on when I sot home waa the pocket- book, lyiu' on my dressins- table. I thought of sending you word, but then it wm a tiiflin' mistake, yon know. You'd hear it all in good' time." Even old Storra felt a movement of right- eoua indignation. "Not anoha trifling miatake. Madam. It haa cost me my very beat clerk, and driven him out of the place. It waa hard on him and hu mother, you see." " Oh, well 1" with another laugh, "you're rich enough to hire aa many clerks aa yon want, and I gneaa it'a beat old Allen's aon ahonld leave here, anyway. He didn't take my pocket book that time, bnt I reckon he waan't too good for it. Come, show me yonr fineat oaahmeres." I am happy to say that old Storrs called on Mrs. AUea tliat evening, and rdatad the oonTersation. "Not that! ever believed he had taken the woman's monw," he aidd, " bnt I dare say he will be glad to hear it is found. Ton can write to Uhii that, I'm willing to take him back.' " He wyi ikoi retmi," Mrs. ARvd nAi: onietly. " He haa » good ritnation, muU dm t think he will be willing to mn the risk of another snoh ' trifling mistake.'
