A Talk to Mothers- I think telling to children, mere babes, the wonderful story of perpetuation, has been overdrawn in many instances. The child of less than three years, who is sup- posed to comprehend how her new brother happened to be present, may have heard the story, just as her mythical brothers and ers- ters are told things in imagination. A safe way is to cultivate common sense. A wise mother notes the dawn of understanding in her child,.according with the age where a knowledge of certain facts becomes neces- sary, and is an unfailing mentor in time of need. Children are much influenced by surround- ings, and sometimes they make them pre- cocious beyond their years. To such, a helping hand must constantly be held out. The silent child often escapes observation in the thirst for information. But in every case the watchful mother, if she be blest with common sense, will know the right method to pursue. A mother may talk to her boys as well as her girls, and the need for her counsel is usually greater with the sons. She can eas- ily give them all the necessary, information and warn them of all that they should avoid. My boy Chet, now taller than I, and I am not dumpy, comes to me as naturally with his confidences, as does my little Grace. He comes from force of habit, form- ed early in life, when I sympathized with him over every childish misfortune. I remember with what a heartache I kiss- 1 ed my children, and sent them, or took them, for their first day at school. How vividly I realized,that there began the first [severance'of the strong cord of home influ- . ence ; that thereafter I must fight with the world for my own. Yet it is better for the child, having the world to face sometime, that he be educat- ed among his fellows, and early prove his claim to recognition or oblivion, as the world’s opinion goes. He who holds his best good at heart cannot do less than con- stantly watch lest he fall. 5 iThe travail of birth is the least of child- bearing. The child is borne upon our hearts till we are laid to rest. -- [Monnie Moore. Den’ts for Husbands. Don’t hang around the kitchen offering advice and suggestions to your wife in re- gard to her work. You have no more busi- ness in her kitchen than she in your office or countingroom. Don’t be so very, very saving of your praises of your wife. Be just as recklessly extravagant in this direction ashyou choose. No danger of bankrupting your stock of affection, or hers either, by such a. course. Don’t compare her to other women to her disadvantage, and don’t speak of her fail- ' ings to any other person on the earth. Men who talk about their wives deserve, and re- ceive, the contempt of all respectable per- sons. Don’t reserve all your sullen pouting spells for your own fireside. Distribute some of your hatefulness around the other places, where others will tell you just what they think of you for such unchristianlikc conduct. Don’t tell her how she ought to dress her children or herself, and don’t forget to tell her when you see her looking prettier than usual. “ And don’t forget certain little promises and solemn vows you made to her on your knees in the days of your. courtship and at the marriage altar. They are registered on high and you may some day be reminded of them to your infinite sorrow. ._.._ Salads. There is nothing more appetizing in spring and summer than a. well-made salad. It need not be elaborate, involving a great amount of time in its preparation ; often 9. simple one proves quite as tempting. There is a long list of “green things growing” which may be converted into salads, as lettuce, cucumbers, asparagus, onions, beets, celery, dandelions and water- cress, besides fruit, eggs, meats, and all cooked vegetables. In fact, the list would he‘shorter if one mentioned those articles of food 'which may not be used in that way. If one does not wish to make a regular dressing, the salad may be seasoned with salt, pepper, celery salt, mustard or any way preferred, then moistened with vine- gar and melted butter. Salads should be served the day they are prepared, but many salad dressings may be bottled and kept for weeks. The fol- lowing is recommended : Bor'ann SALAD Dnnssmo.â€"â€"Beat yolks of eight- eggs, add to them a cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful each of salt, mus- tard and black pepper, alittle cayenne, and half a cupful of cream ; mix thoroughly ; bring to a boil 8. pint and a half of vinegar; add one cupful of butter, let come to a boil, pour upon the mixture, stir well and when cold put into bottles. ' Set in a cool place f 3% Sankaâ€"String young beans, break I vinegar makes it finer. CHICKEN Saranâ€"Cut the meat from u. roasted chicken, chop with a few stalks of celery or sprigs of parsley, salt, white pepper, and pour over it a few spoonfuls of vinegar and oil. Let this stand two or three hours, then place it on a plate or salad dish in the midst of fresh lettuce or parsley leaves, and pour over it a salad dresing. Various Recipes- PRESSED BEERâ€"Chop fine two pounds of beef and one pound of lean, fresh pork. Add one cup cracker crumbs, one beaten egg, salt, pepper, and sage if liked. Steam three hours, and leave in the dish over- night. This is nice fcr anyone carrying cold dinners, as well as for home lunches. Po'r'rnn HAMâ€"When the ham is nearly finished cut off all the meat and chop as fine as possible; add pepper, mace, cloves, etc., and a little melted butter. Pack tightly in a jar and pouralittle melted but- ter over the top. SCALLornn Omensâ€"Peel and boil a. few onions in salt and water till tender. Pick the onions to pieces and put a layer in the bottom of abuttered dish, then a layer of crackers and so on till the dish is full. Haven layer of crackers on top; season well, fill up the dish with milk, and bake a nice brown. HYGIENIC COFFEE.â€"â€"-TWO quarts of wheat bran, one cupful of molasses, white of one egg ; to be well mixed, and browned in the oven until of a dark brown color, stirring often to prevent scorching. SUGAr‘i’CooxIEs.â€",Two cupfuls of sugar, two eggs, one-half cupful of butter, one- half cupful of fried meat gravy cr drip- pings, one-half cupful of sweet cream, one- half teaspoonful of soda. Before baking, dip the top of each cocky in the white of egg, then in granulated sugar. The white of the egg is not to be beaten. LAYER CAKn.â€"-One cupful of powdered sugar, half a cupful of butter, three-fourths cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, three eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, flavoring; Cream the butter and sugar, add the well-beaten yolks of eggs, the milk 3 with the flavoring, the flour into which the jbaking powder has been sifted, and last, jtbe stiffly beaten whites. Stir lightly. This makes three thick layers. STEAMED Punmxc.â€"â€"Two eggs, one cup- ful of sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, three cups of flour, one cup of fruit if I liked ; steam two hours. Serve with cream and sugar. I put in raisins unless I l...ve fresh fruit. I’oon MAN’S Penmanâ€"Peel and slice a layer of apples in the bottom of adish, then a layer of breadcrumbs that have been soft- ened in water. Repeat this until the dish is full, sweetening the apples every time. Finish with a layer of bread and dot with hits of butter. Fill up with water and bake. Serve while warm with cream and sugar. j A Goon PLAiN PCDDING.â€"One cupful of sour milk, a pinch of salt, one-half teaspoon- in] of soda, one cupful dried berriesâ€"sliced green apples are goodâ€"and cornmeal to make a batter as thick as for Johnny cake. 1 Steam half an hour and eat with sweetened cream. I find a round cake tin with a center tube an excellent dish in which to steam puddings. MOTHER’S BREAD.â€"Puttwo quarts of flour into a pan, and pour boiling water over it until nearly all the flour is wet. Stir the flour while pouring on the water. Add one pint of cold water, and beat well. Let it stand until lukewarm, then add one cup of potato yeast, butter the size of an egg and half a teaspoonful of soda, and flour to make a stiff dough. Turn it out on the moulding board and work in more flour by slashing it with a sharp knife. Slash, add flour and knead until the dough is stiff and smooth. You cannot get too much flour into it. Let it stand until morning, then knead it down without removing it from the pan. After breakfast, turn it out on the board, and knead it for ten minutes, then put it back and let it rise as much as possible without smelling like wine, and make it into lravss. When the loaves are light they should be put into a hot oven which is allowed to cool gradually until the bread is done. Bread made in this way will keep fresh 3. long time. A GOOD SOAP RECIPEâ€"Four pounds of soap out fine, one pound of sal soda, two ounces each of turpentine and borax, two and one-half gallons of rain water. Cook Try it in a saucer. When cooling pour in one ounce.of coal oil, and stir in half a tea- spoonful of fine salt. Frills of Fashion-4 Short shoulder capes of lace will be worn. Galloons and ribbons are the most stylish trimmings. _All skirts are cut with apronounced flare at. the bottom. Dark blue cheviot with a lining of plaid silk is a good choice for an ulster. All‘new skirts are wide but are smooth at the top and flare outward at the foot. Nine gored and seven gored skirts with bias seams are among the latest fashion. Tailor made dresses should have as plain sleeves as the present fashion will allow. A very short cape either in one rufl'le with a ruched top or with a flat collar is stylish. leg, pufi' or elongated puff are made to droop. The semi-circular flounce lined with crin- ohne is used in making over dresses that are too narrow. Hair cloth, linen canvas, grass linen and crinolinc are used for stiffening skirts ; hair cloth is used for heavy dresses. Sprinkle with. All sleeves whether out like the mutton-l l‘OWS. Cut out the waist of a dress first and then the skirt, or plan for the waist first for that can not be scrimped. If the cloth falls short the sleeves may be made of con- trasting material. To face the bottom ofa basque, haste the facing on and then stitch the bottom. Turn the facing up and baste again, then press before it is felled down. This will keep the facing from drawing. Flounces will be greatly used this sum- mer. A new method of trimming is a fold of velvet at the lower edge of a skirt then a fold of silk and finally a fold. of the dress material. There should be a two-inch space between the folds and if the arrange- ment is repeated making six folds it will be yet more stylish. ‘ For a work dress make a plain skirt four to five yards in width ; then finish the bottom with a deep hem or a six-inch ruffle. Make a shirt waist with three box plaits both back and front, shirt sleeves, a roll- ing collar and cuffs and wear with it a leather belt. Pearl bottons are used on wash dresses ; if trimming is added let it be an embroidered collar and cuffs. Do not make a wash dress to fit tightly. _______.â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" The Story of the Ice Are- There cannot be any doubt that after man had become a denizen of the earth, a great physical change came over the north- ern hemisphere. The climate which had previously been so mild that evergreen trees flourished within ten or twelve de- grees of the North Pole, now became so severe that vast sheets of snow and ice covered the North of Europe and crept southward beyond the south coast of Ire- land. almost as far as the southern shores of England, and across the Baltic into Frace and Germany. This Arctic trans- formation was not an episode that lasted merely a. few seasons, and leftthe landto resume thereafter its ancient aspect. \Vith varicusvsuccessivo fluctuations it must have endured for many thousands of years. \Vhen it began to disappear it probably faded away as slowly and imperceptibly as it had advanced, and when it finally van- ished it left Europe and North America. profoundly changed in the character alike of their scenery and of their inhabitants. The rugged rocky contours of earlier times were ground smooth and polished by the march of the ice across them, while the lower grounds were buried under wide and thick sheets of clay, gravel, and sand, left behind by the melting ice. The varied and abundant flora which had spread so for within the Arctic circle was driven away into more southern and less ungcnial climes. But most- memorable of all was the extirpation of the prominent large animals which, before the advent of thelmand was never. in Gregg Britain, as its ice, had roamed over Europe. The lions, hynenas, wild horses, hippopotami, and other creatures either became entirely ex- tinct or were driven into the Mediterranean basin and into Africa. In their place came northern formsâ€"the rein-(leer, glutton, musk ox, woolly rhinoceros, and mam- moth. Such a marvellous transformation in cli- mate, in scenery, in vegetation and in in- habitants, within what was after all but a brief portion of geological time though it may have involved no sudden or violent convulsion, is surely entitled to rank as a catastrophe in the history of the globe. It was probably brought about mainly, if not entirely, by the operation of forces external to the earth. No similar calamity having bc‘ellen the continents within the time dur- ing which man has been recording his ex- perience, the Ice Age might be cited as a contradiction to the doctrine of uniformity. and yet it manifestly arrived as part of the established order of Nature. Whether or not we grant that other ice ages preceded the last great one, we must admit that the conditions under which it arose, so far as we know them, might conceivably have oc- curred before, and may occur again. The various agencies called into play by the ex- tensive refrigeration of the northern hemis- phere were not different from those with which we are familiar. Snow fell and glac- iers crept as they do V to-day. Ice scored and polished rocks exactly as it still does among the Alps and in Norway. There was nothing abnormal in the phenomena save the scale on which they were manifest- ed. And thus, taking a broad View of the whole subject, we recognize the catastrophe, while at the same time we see in its progress the operation of those same natural pro- cesses which we know to be integral parts of the machinery whereby the surface oi the earth is continually transformedâ€"[Sh A. Geikie. The Spider's Enemy. A writer gives an interesting account 0 the curious habits of the ichneumon-fly of Ceylon, ‘he natural enemy of the spider. This insect is green in color, and in form resembles a. wasp, with a marvelously thin waist. It makes its nest of well-worked clay, and then goes out on a hunting expe- dition. Its victims are invariably spiders of various kinds, but all/are subject to the same mode of treatment. A scientific sting injects some poison, which efl'ectually para- lyzes the luck less spider, who is then carried off to the nest and there fastened with a dab of moist clay. Another and another victim is brought to this chamber of horrors. Then the prescient mother ichneumon-fly proceeds to deposit her eggs one in the body of each spider, which can just move its legs in avague aim- less manner, but can offer no resistance. This done the fly returns to her work as a. mason. She prepares more clay and builds up the entrance to this ghastly cell. Then she commences a new cell, which she fur- nishes in like manner, and closes ; then she adds yet another cell, and so proceeds until her store of eggs are all provided for, and her task in life being accomplished, she dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch at leisure. In due time these horrid little maggots come to life and find themselves cradl- ed in a larder of fresh meat. Each poor spider is still alive and his juices afford nutriment for the ichneumon-grub till it is ready to pass into its chrysalis stage, thence to emerge as a winged fly, fully prepared to carry out the traditions of its ancestors with regard to spiders, and to fulfill the purpose for which they have been created, according to ichneumon belief. .4, Two base-ball clubs, composed entirely of young ladies, have been formed in East Lake, Ala.

In 1759 he had taken part in another attack on Quebec, and was not far from General \Volfe when that hero fell victorious, and closed his eyes with the knowledge that his great venture had been successful. Montgomery died under very similar cir- cumstances, except for the shadow of de- feat. After this disaster Arnold arranged his forces so as to prevent any supplies being received in the city, and the garrison had to endure great rivations. Colonel Mac- lean shared in al the hardships of his men, and his own courage and determination seemed to inspire ’every one. Arnold got tired of the seeming endlessness of the siege aft-er awhile. and commenced active hostilities, but the Quebec forces went more than a match for him, and after sev- eral repulses the American soldiers were withdrawn and Arnold re-crossed the St. Lawrence.

In no part of the world, says the Scottish prowess the Cape, to the continent of Europe, and land soldiers accomplished for the British empire in Canada. And yet, in a great measure, it was their loyality, bravery, endurance and daring that preserved that great Colonial empire to the British flag. In the histories of the Dominion such com- mands as those of Fraser’s Highlanders, and such names as Peter Hunter, Simon Fra ser, John Murray, William Drummond and a host of others, figure largely and honor ably; but to the general reader, we fear they have no significance. The time will come, however, when the services to Britain of these heroes will be everywhere fully recognized. ’ In most American histories where the Highland soldiers who fought in' Canada or the States in early times are mentioned they are referred to in a general sort of way, just as they speak of the Hessians. On only a few occasions do they descend to details and inform us exactly to what par- ticular regiment THE TROOPS term of service was passed in America, and almost entirely in Canada, and as its his- tory is but little known, it may not be amiss to devote this article to describing in out- line its career.
