A Little Patience- When the children ask too many ques- tions, or insist on knowing everything, do be patient. If they are awkward and hard to teach, be patient. They Will learn every- thing and will not need to ask, all too soon. Remember that children are like travelers in a strange country, they thirst for knowl- ' edge about their surroundings, and you, Who are a native of many years, should be - courteous enough to be kind. When little l ï¬ngers are awkward, or small brains slow to i grasp the thing you wish to teach, remem- ber that children are all left 'handcd, so to speak. Think how you would have to try and try again before getting a. thing right, if you were left-handed. Be patient with the children, for nothing is so restful in a quiet house as a noisy boy or girl ; nothing is so ornamental in a prim, orderly mansion as ii. mischievous, busy ï¬ngered baby, and nothing so gay and merry in a troubled a home as a sweet little child. A Child’s Playmates.- One of a mother’s most difï¬cult lessons is that she cannot keep her children under a glass case. Association with other children is inevitable _: so is the good thus learned, where there are no single women in the elder branch. About the House- Two large screws put into the wall some two inches apart makes a very good broom holder. Hang the broom, handle down- wards. Nails may be used instead of screws. A yard and a half square of coarse table linen will answer for a’brcad cloth. Keep a. good supply of thesie in order that they may always be sweet and clean, and never use them for other purposes. then buying a wall paper avoid getting the ï¬gure too small, and thus destroying the “ character" of your room. Those ex- perienced in decoration are very prompt to give the go-bye to a weak. looking paper. Make your home orderly and tidy ; have place for everything and everything in its place. Do not allow chairs, tables and floor to be strewn with wearing apparel. There is nothing more disgusting to a man than to ï¬nd his house always having the appearance of a recent cyclone. Most all house keepers use the half doz- en made holders to take things out of the oven, but one house keeper thinks half ‘50 is “he 8"“. A write†in the Jennessmn old apron hungat the side or tucked Miller Monthly says : It is hard for her, 1 under the apron string is much more con- venient than the ordinary holder and much when wee VVillie’s vocabulary is enlarged l by bad words which must be patiently um i taught him; when next~to~tlic-youngest ,' comes sobbing home because a playmatei . had insinuated that “ mamma doesn’t lo ve l him now that she has another baby†when i a struggle is foreshadowed by Nellie’s gig- = gling announcement that one of the neigh- bor’s boys is her “beam†when family law | is deï¬ed because the children down the ' street do or don’t. have to do thus and so. l All this. and more, must be endured by ' the Wise motherwho realizes that her en- compassing love can no more provide that they shall come out of daily contact with other children totally unharmed than that they shall pass through all life without scars on body, mind or soul. All she can do is to fortify them as best she can and send them out into the world to take the risk of the posmble ill for the sake of the indispens- able bencfit. ' F or The Mothers- It is paradoxically true that the way to i make children appreciate their home is for l them to leave it now and then. “ It limbers 2 out my mind,†was the reason one little girl , gave for her fondness for visiting around = among her relatives, and she was right. I The model mother does not expect- old heads on young shoulders ; sliemiiigles with ' her children and sympathizes with their ' plans, hopes, and fears. She opens up to her children the higher and more ennobling channels of thought ; she gives them ideals E from her own pure and lofty character. I A baby’s mind is easily drawn from an object, and after telling it that it must not have a. thing draw its attention to some- I ‘ thing else. .Keep a child busy and it won’t get into mischief. Never allow a chill to' have a thing you have refused it ; but be careful in refusing it that you do it in such ' a way as not to arouse opposition and temper. Sick headache is very apt to occur in school children from leaning forward over books, from imperfect digestion or from too l little exercise in the open air, and not in- I frequently from a combination of these un- hygienic conditions. A child who suffers, from sick-headaches should be promptly relieved from such unwholesome influences. As a. toilet accessory borax is very useful, cleansing thoroughly the skin and hair. For this purpose dissolve one-half teaspoonfull in a quart of water. It is also recommend- ed for use in'washing out a baby’s mouth, keeping it fresh and sweet and preventing the infliction of a sore mouth. It is a per- fect antiseptic and disinfectant, and mixed l with glycerine or honey it is useful in throat | diseases. One wise woman, who crosred the conti- nent with two children of six and eight, took a quantity of cardboard, a scissors and lead pencil, and while she cut the card board into small squares the little folks printed letters on them in large Roman caps, . making a number of each letter. Then from these letters they 'formed words and sentences, and instead of annoying their fellow travelers, I saw a digniï¬ed dominie, a brave general and a sunny-faced prima donna all helping the little fellows to play a game of words. Proper Form in Cards. For husband and wife to have eacha separate visiting card. For a lady to leave her husband’s cards and those oflier sons and daughters in mak- ing the ï¬rst call of the season. For a lady to leave her husband’s cards, as well as her own, after a. dinner party. For aliidy to leave two cards in calling upon a mother with several grown-up daughtersâ€"one for the mother and one for the daughters. When calling for the ï¬rst time upon sev- eral ladies, who are not mothers and daugh- ters, to leave a card for each. For a lady, if admitted to make a call, to more eay to keep clean and one does not care if it is covered on both sides with apple juice. A notable housewife says of ~washing Monday: My own experience is that the house is up in arms after Sunday ; nearly everything that is eatable has gone, as all good food goes. I take Monday for putting the house to rights and for mending. I mend every garment that needs it before it goes into the wash. You have no idea what a difference it makes in the wear of things. The rubbing and starchiug always enlarges a rent if one has started. \Vliatever else you hoard, do not include in the list old medicine-bottles. The cost of these when perfectly new is trifling, and the futility cf saving them against a possible errand to the cliemist’s is very apparent. Nor should tacks taken up when you re- move carpet-s from the floor for the annual or semi-annual shaking be put aside for a second use. A new paper of tacks should be used whenever a carpet is relaid. The destructive carpet moth and other predrtciousfoes have greatly disc'ouraged the practice of economizing by keeping perish- able goods for that seven years’ turning in which everything is supposed to become available for new uses. The Country Gentle- man. says ready-made clothing for men,wom- en and children is threatening to abolish the once indispensable “ piece-bag,†and end those stores of scraps from which so many quilts, rugs and rag-carpets were evolved in patient continuity. ‘Puttine: Down Fruit Without Sugar- Mrs. C. D. Baker, ‘vVliecling, W. Va. writes: I have just used the last of the fruit that I put up last summer, I did not heat orseal the fruit, just put it up cold. Get fresh fruit, wash it clean, put in common 3 or 4 gallon earthen jars and press it down what you can without injuring it. Take ~‘Zoz. Comp. Ex. Salyx, you can get it from any druggist, dissolve it in 4 gallons boiling water, when cool pour on enough to cover the fruit. The Salyx prevents fermentation and the water keeps the air from the fruit. I put tip 20 gal. strawberries, 20 gal. rasp- berries, 41) gal. peaches and 17 gal. grapes and did not lose it gallon. Every jar kept perfectly fresh. The fruit looked and tast- ed just as it (lid when picked. I keep boarders and they all thought my fruit the nicest they ever ate, being much ï¬ner than canned fruit. I think it strange that every one does not put up fruit in this way as itis certainly elegant and so cheap and healthy. The Weekly Menu: Corn Dodgers.-â€"Mix a teaspmntul each of sugar and salt with a quart of granulated corn meal, and scald with boiling water until a. paste is formed sufficiently stiff to retain its shape without spreading when placed upon the griddle. Mould with the hands into cakes three or four inches in diameter and half an inch in thickness, put a bit of butterabout the size of a pea where each cake is to be placed upon the griddle, and as soon as melted lay the cake upon it. Fill the griddle in this manner with cakes, and when they are brown on the lower side place a small bit of butter on each of them, turn over, and gently press as close to the griddle as possible with a knife or cake paddle. After being turned on the griddle and browned nicely on both sides, the cakes can be transferred to a baking pan and finished in a hot oven, or if more convenient they can be baked entirely on a.- griddle or pan in the oven. Such dodgers can be baked in 30 or 40 min- utes, but are sweeter and nicer when baked it longer time. The heat under the griddle or-pan should be moderate so as not to scorch the dodgers, and they may be turned several times, if, necessary, to brown them sufficiently.

After adding the lemon juice strain and pour into a mold and put it in ii. cold place till ready to use. Tutti Frutti Cake. -â€"Beat to a cream half acup of fresh butter and two cups of pow- «lercd sugar, to which add the well-beaten yolks of four eggs, 3. cup of sweet milk, a tablespoonful of cold water, the well-beaten whites of two eggs, and last of all three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, gifted with an extra half cup of flour. Bake in jelly -cake tins in a hot oven, being careful to them. have the tins well greased and slightly warmed before pouring the batter into \Vhen cold, spread between each layer of cake the following mixture : The Well-beaten whites of two eggs, enough pulverized sugar to make a soft icing, a teaspoonful of vanila. extract, half a cup- fnl of. the best raisins carefully stoned and chopped fine, two tablespooufuls of currants, well washed, dried and picked, and an equal quantity of orange marmalade. This quantity will make two good-sized layer cakes. - Casserole of Potatoesâ€"Form an oval pile of mashed potato on a dish, make a hole in the centre of the size desired ; brush the surface ‘wilh beaten egg, and set- in the oven until nicely browned. Fill the hole with stewed tomatoes macaroni or with any kind of stew.

Bake in layers, divide the batter, baking half of it plain in two pans, to the other half add one tablespoonful of brown- ed allspice, one-half tablespoonful of ground cinnamon, one-half pound each of citron, raisins and currants, all chopped ï¬ne. Put the layers together with boiled icing. For the icing boil ï¬ve cups of granulated sugar and one cup of water until it ropes in water; then take it from the ï¬re and pour on the whites of three eggs beaten to a stid" froth. Beat a moment or two and then put between the layers, and on the top of the cake. This is a delicious supper cake. Stewed Potatoes.â€"-Slice cold boiled po- tatoes ; salt to taste ; dredge a little flour on them and half cover them with rich milk. Let them cook three or four minutes brisk. ly, and, just before sending to the table, stir in a generous piece of butter. RBVOLTING MURDERS BY OHll‘lBSB. Two Swedish Missionaries Beaten To Death and Their Bridles Thrown out For Dogs To Eat. A Vancouver, B. 0., special says :â€"-The steamship Empress of India has arrived with news of the murder of the two Swedish missionaries by Chinese fanatics at Sing Pu. Revs. \Vikholm and Johnson, the mission- aries, arrived in Sing Pu last April and were the only missionaries there. Sing Pu is an important market place northeast of Hankow and contains about 30,000 inhabitants. They made no converts, but on the con- trary their lives were in danger almost from the start. They were warned by servants that they would be killed on July 1, but took no precautions, except to send a letter to a. magistrate demanding protec- tion. Early in the morning of July 1 their house was surrounded by a mob composed of loafers, tradesmen and scholars, who clam- oredwfor their blood. Stones were thrown at the house and the windows battered in until the missionaries could no longer re- main indoors. They attempted to escape over the roofs of houses, but were followed by tlie'mob. Finally they could go no further and dropped into the street into the hands of the mob. Their sufferings were short. Wikholm’s skull was smashed with an ax and Mr. Johnson’s was speedily beaten out of all resemblance to human shape by bam- boo rods aud iron bars. The bodies were stripped naked, subjected to revolting mutilations and left on the street for dogs to eat. The mob then looted and burned the missionaries’ house. Two missionaries from Haukow in company with a mandarin and soldiers left for Sing Pu on July 4 to investi- gate the matter and i'ccover the bodies. TERRIFIO EXPLOSION IN CANTON. A Powder .lllugnzlnc “lows llpâ€"lliuillrcils of Victims. Hong Kong newspapers give details of a terriï¬c powder explosion at the Govern- ment powder magazine at Canton on June {24, which killed many, injured over 300 people, and wrecked 400 houses. About 5 P. M. the inhabitants of the Sam Unli dis- trict, in which the magazine stands, were startled by a tremendous report, which was heard over a large area and was followed by an enormous volume of smoke, quite darkening the sky. Very quickly it was known for and Wide that a terrible calamity had occurred, and although the extent has not yet been ascertained, it is feared that the loss is very serious. Every village in the neighborhood was completely wrecked and in a village on the- opposite side of the stream which divided it from the factory several hundred houses were shattered. The total number of houses destroyed is approximated at 400, and although no idea. has been formed of the loss of life it must be considerable. The catastrophe originated from a cook- house near the magazine, which caught ï¬re and rapidly spread to the powder house. On hearing the explosion the inhabitants rushed out in great alarm, and further pro- claimed the disaster by thc beating of gongs and drums urging the villagers to run into the ï¬elds for their lives.

Centuries agoâ€"before the white men had penetrated into the lands of the Klamith, Pueblo and other Indian tribes of the west â€"wood friction was the method employed by the north American Indians. The same manner of kindling ï¬res can be observed among many of, them to-day. No other method is employed by the Eskimos and. other northern uncivilized people, and later than 1888 wood friction was used to kindle the ï¬re at the white dog feast by the New York Iroquois Indians and the Onondaga Iroquois of Canada. The operatiou of ignit- ing tinder by wood friction is varied, but in every instance it is peculiarly ingenious. The most primitive form of apparatus con- sists of two pieces of wood, one of some dry, loose-grained timber, which is the piece to be operated upon, and thelother, or spindle, of hard wood, which must be very dry. The ï¬rst piece is: laid flat on the ground close to the tinder which is to be ignited, and a small hole is cut in the floor to receive the wood powder as it is ground from the loose- grained wood. The hard wood spindle is TO KEEP A SHOBLAOE TIED. moved by a Twlst or the Wrist. A public benefactor has arisen and, though that heretofore the last thing shcelaces have Every male reader has more than once fallen on the sidewalk to tie a shoelace. Every reader of that sex has frequently stoppedâ€"â€" perhaps it has happened in the middle of a declaration of loveâ€"while his fair compan- ion has put a foot on a near-by garden rail- ing and stooped over to tie ‘.‘ that provok- ing shoelace.†Every such reader has him- self been haltedâ€"and perhaps missed the 1““ "all" out Of town on a“ Saturday night" and having ï¬rst pressed the paint against then taken bet“ can the palms of thephaiids, . _. â€"in order to catch up the flying ends of his shoelaces, whose tric-trac on the-pave- ment warned him that if he did not tie them up he might trip on one of them and break a limb. Every militiaman has more than once spoiled the effect of a march and dropped out of line in order to tie a. refractory shoelace in the glitter while the battalion swept by. In short it has seemed as though nothing could be devised to take the place of shoelaces, and as if no way could be found for keeping them secure- ly tied. . This young shoe clerk has found the way â€"-at least he has been making the way publicly knownâ€"so that hereafter men and women may buy shoes with the conscious- ness that they can pursue their chosen the other piece of wood it is twirled rapid- ly, causing a ‘ GRADIIALLY INCREASING FRICTION and grinding outa little heap of wood pow- der which falls into the hole referred to. This generates a great deal of heat, and. ï¬nally the little heap of wood dust begins to smoulder, and in a little time enough heat is evolved to produceignition by spon- taneous combustion. Flame is never pro- duced by this operation. The wood or coal must be brought into contact with the tin- der and cautiously fanned into a blaze. Another form is called the “pump or Weighted drill,†and Mr. Hough, in the re- port of the National museum, says that this. apparatus is used “in only two localities. in the world" for making ï¬resâ€"viz, among: the Chukchis, of Siberia, and the Iroquois- Indians of New York and Canada. The apparatus is very ingeniously constructed... It consists of a piece of soft or loose-grained wood, as in the ï¬rst case, and the “ pump’†or spindle. The spindle is made of well- seasoned elm or other hard wood. It is usually about two feet long and has a kind of a fly wheel about three inches from the bottom. A crosspiece of wood with a hole in the centre large enough for the spindle to pass through easily is then adjusted as the “ pump" ban ile. end of this handle are cords, which are Attached to each , Yowlion ,Wil’houb frequelll’ and annoxing yfastened to the top of the spindle and twist- interruptions that constitute a horrible I ed around it in such a manner that moving slavery to their Shoelaces. This clerk shows that all that is necessary is to tie a double bowknot in the same way that everybody (lees, completing the operation up to the very last point of drawing the knot tight against the shoe. Before doing that and ï¬nishing the job he brings in his clinching and perfecting touch. It is done by merely bending one of the loops of the bow under the knot, and then pulling the knot tight by taking hold of each loop and pulling. The illustration shows all that is new in the clever unloosable knot. W hen the reader ties his shoelaces and has the bow- knot completed he will notice a space or the handle up and down will CAUSE IT TO nEvomn RAPIDLY in alternate directions, thus creating a maximum amount of friction at the point of contact with the loose-grained wood. This was the kind of apparatus used by the Iroquois Indians at the white dog feast of 1888. The natives of the East Indies and ofAustralia used another method for obtain- ing ignition by means of wood friction. “ Their method is by “ sawing.†A V- sliapcd notch is ï¬rst cut lengthwise in a. piece of bambooâ€"almost penetrating it. Then another piece of bamboo or other hard opening between the laces where they come’ wood is shaped like the blade of a. knife, up from the slice to meet at the knot. Into and through that space he must put one of the loop ends of the knot. He merely takes hold of one loop, bends it under the knot, pushes it through the opening be- tween the knot and the. shoe, and then pulls the knot tight by pulling on the two loops in the old fashioned way. If he does Y that not all the powers of darkness nor all the cussedness of inanimate things will ever be able to make that; shoelace come untied, until he wants it to. When he wants to untie it he will do so as easily as he ever untied any shoelace. A pull on the tag end of the laces and the thing is done. TOLD BY TRAVELLBRS. Mr. Parker-son, or New Orleans, in Town â€"â€"-A Mexican Statesman. Mr. \V. S. Parkerson, the gentleman Who became famous last year because of the prominent part he took . in the Maï¬a in- cidents at New Orleans, is a guest at the Rossin house. Mr. Parkerson did not care to discuss the propriety of his action last year when he counselled the lynching of the Italians who were charged with the murder of the chief of police. He said, however, that he was quite certain in his own mind as to the guilt of all the men who had met death at the hands of the outraged citizens. They had not been found guilty because the jury had been in- timidated and bribed. Two men who had bribed the jury had been since convicted of their crime and sent to prison. “ I do not place much conï¬dence in the jury system, anyhow," continued Mr. Parkerson, “ it has been a great failure in our country and in England. Now take that Mrs. Maybrick case. I believe that woman to be quite innocent and yet she was found guilty. The jury did exactly what the judge told them in that case. The judge charged strongly against the prison- er and they found her guilty. Juries are very unreliable.†In this connection it might be mentioned that the late N. G. Bigelow, Q. 0., once said that the only things to be compared to ajury for uncertainty were a horse race and a woman’s affection. somrsnrxd IN CANADA. Mr. l’arkerson said that he had been in- terviewed so often with reference to the trou- ble~at New Orleans that he had grown tired of the whole question and had decided to come up north to Canada and have a quiet time at Owen Sound, where he was in the habit of spending his vacation. He is a lawyer by profession and has the reputa- tion of being one of the most skilled at the bar of Louisiana. In the state the civil laws are founded upon the code Napoleon and not upon the English common law as. i: all other states of the union. The French was the ofï¬cial language of the courts, but was rapidly dying out in practice. Both the English language and text books were fast gaining the upper hand. The laws, how- ever remained unchanged. Uiider thtse laws “ community rights†were preserved.
