' wel^bred M\A doas, not think itteu teaidi its nwratai'or ^t it knows evoything. it mikj^tyak ita ntlier aod mother know everythingâ€" perhaps that »11 grown-np people know everything verv certainly it is sore that it does not. And it is always asking qaestions, and wanting to learn more. A second character of r^t •childhood is to be f aithf uL Perceiving that its father knows best what is good for it, a noble child trusts him wholly, gives him its liand, and will walk blindfold with him if he bids it. A third character of right child- hood is to be loving and generoos. Give a •little love to a child, and yon get a great deal iMhck. It loves everything near it when it is a right kind of child would give the best it has away, always, if you need it does not lay plans for getting everything in %^e house for itself, and delights in helping people â€" ^you cannot please it so much as by giving it a chance of being useful, in ever so Utile a way. And, because of all these characters, it is cheerful. Putting its trust in its father, it is creful for nothing bejng full of love to every creature, it is liappy always, whether in its play or its •duty. So, then, you have the child's char- acter in these four things â€" humility, faith, charity, and cheerfulness. Boziiig the Ears- Boxing the ears is a too common form of punishment practised by irritable and igno- rant persons, and it is almost always done in fits of sudden anger. I say done by irri- table and ignorant persons, because it seems to me that no person of any information on the subject would allow their passion to get the better of their judgment in such a mat- ter. The drum of the ear is of paper-like thinness it may and has been, in numbers of cases, ruptured by a single slap on the side of the head, incurable deafness result- ing. Says an eminent physician, " All strokes on the head of children with an angry hand are biutal and criminal." In the same connection he adds that " a gener- ous, wise and humane parent should allow a night to intervene between the commission of the fault on the part of a child and any decided punishment. The veriest theft {should be allowed time lest the law should be vindictive and wrathful. And shall a man or woman punish an unresisting child with ijngry inconsideration, with unreason- ing writh in the heart It is monstrous." Practical Becipes. Caramel Cake. â€" One-half cup of butter, one cup of sugar, two eggs, one-half cup of milk, one-half cup of flour, one teaspoonful of soda. We think that one and a half tea- spoonfuls of baking powder instead of soda makes the cake much better. Bake in three layers. Spread frosting between and on top •ct layers. Cold Lemon Pudding. â€" One-half box of gelatine soaked in four tablespoons of water for ten minutes and a pint of boiling \«fater, juice of two lemons, one cup of sugar; strain and set away to cool. When cold, stir in the whites of three well-beaten eggs. A thin boiled custard can be used to pour over this pudding, or thick, sweetened -cream. Fo'TATO Pancakes. â€" ^Grate a dozen me- slium-sized potatoes.after peeling them and â- washing thoroughly. Add the yolks of â- three eggs, a heaping teaspoonful of flour, and if they seem too dry, a 'little milk will do to thin them, with a large tablespoonful of salt, and, lastly, the -vhiies of three eggs beaten stifif, and thoroughly beaten in with the potatoes. Heat your griddle and put )utter and lard in equal proportions in it, ^nd fry the cakes in it until they are brown. Hake them a third larger than the ordinary pancake. Boiled Batter Ppdping. â€" This pudding iLs composed of flour, butter, eggs and milk. Cake three tablespoonfuls, put it in a basin and add sufficient milk to moisten it care- fully rub down all the lumps with a spoon, then pour in the remainder of the milk and stir in one ounce of butterj which must first have been melted. Keep beating the mix- ture, and three eggs and a pinch of salt, and when the batter is quite smooth either put it in a well-buttered basin with a floured cloth tied tightly down over it, and this into a vessel o! boiling water, movin£r the basin about to keep the flour from setting in any part, and boil for one and one quarter of an hour, or else boil in a floured cloth that has been wetted in hot water, and place in a vessel of hot water to boil; the pudding thus •covered will cook in a little less time than the other way. Serve with sweet sauce, Avine sauce, or with preserves or tart jam. This pudding should be brought to table quickly while it is light. Baked Shad. â€" Baked shad is a delicious ^ish for late spring and early summer, and may be prepared as follows Select a large -shad for the purpose, and let it have full, bright looking eyes, firm flesh and red gills, ^cale it, open it, and after cleaning wash it "well, and then place it in clean, salty water to lie a short time. Before cooking wipe it dry, rub it inside and out with a mixture of pepper and salt and fill it with a stuffing composed of the following, namely, fine "bread crumbs mixed with a finely mixed silver onion, some thyme leaves, rubbed ^mall, a little sweet majoram of summer sa- vory, and a lump of butter. Do not use too inuch thyme or summer savory, but just '«nough to give their delightful flavor to the 'dish. Sew up the openinp' with a strong thread, dredge the fish with flour, lay it in a pan with a little water in which is some Gutter, and place in the oven. Baste fre- -quently and bake one hour, and serve with parsley sauce. Three or four nurow strips ^of fat salt pork laid on top of the baking' fish is thought to improve its flavor.

To wash woolen bbmkets, or any ^wooloi article, proceed as follows have a suds ready by boiling up some good white soap, such as ivory soap, in soft water let it stand to cool below the boiling point» say till it is as hot as the hand can. bear, then put in the blankets and sluice them up and down repeatedly. Never rub any soap on the blanket, and do not rub them, as this will cause them to full up, thicken and shrink. A ilothes wringer is the best improvement upon hand labor for squeezing out the water. After rinsing in warm water squeeze as dry as possible, stretch lengthwise and dry in the open air if the weather is good if not, dry in a warm room, but not near the fire. Dust or mud or any soil of the kind should be shaken and beaten out or removed before the washing. To Clean Feather Pillows. â€" An excel- lent way to renew and cleanse feathers is to make a cheese-cloth pillow-case and empty all the feathers into it and sew up tfae^ open end next plunge the case of feathers into a tub of hot water and sluice them up and down. The water should have a little spirits of hartshorn or ammonia in it to soft- en and remove the dirt from the feathers. After drawing them up and down for a number of times, run them up and down in clean, cool, soft water, and then pin the bag by the four corners to two clothes-lines and let them remain for hours in the hot sun, turning them after the first two hours. Use either new pillow-cases of ticking, or wash and cleanse the ones used before. When the feathers are well sunned and dried, place them in their cheese-cloth case back in the Peking case. This process makes them soft, clean and light. BEMAEZABLE ACCIDENT. A Very Qneer Accident of a Small Train •with a Big One. " Talking about collisions and railroad ac- cidents," said the brakeinan, after putting a window up for a young lady passenger and failing to notice the old woman who wanted a similar service performed, "let me tell you of an accident I saw once down in Pennsylvania. There was a narrow gauge road down there, which used the track of the old Atlantic and Great Western broad gauge for seven mUes, of course running on its own rail, set right between the rails of the other road. The old Atlantic a ;d Great Western, you know, is now the Nypano, or New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, a part of the Erie system. Its gauge was six feet wide, and ^hat big cars they used to run on that road Why, they were like barns. Well, one night there was a collision be- tween a narrow gauge train and broad gauge train. Some mibtake about orders, I guess, it was. Anyhow, a narrow gauge passenger train dashed into the rear end of a broad gauge passenger train, and with the curi- ousest result ever you heard of. That little narrow gauge engine jast jumped right up into the the big cars of the other train and never stopped till it reached the tender be- hind the broad gauge locomotive. And what was the funniest thing about it, it drew the whole train after it, the little cars running right up the aisle of the big train and never hurting a passenger in either train, 'cept one feller what had his head outen a window of the narrow-gauge smok- ing car. He was pretty badly hurt. It was a mighty queer sight, let me tall you, one train inside another, and the passengers of each talking to each other as comfortable as you please. I was brakeman on the broad- gauge train, and as we was runnin' under orders to make Salamanaca by a certain minute, we went right along without stop- ping, taking the other train with us. The best joke of it all was that my conductor went through the narrow-gauge train and made all the passengers whack up cash fares." TJseM Hints. Do not let growing children wear shoes ~with high heels it is better for them to xrear none at all, or only such an increase of thickness as is seen at the heels of common- :aense flat-soled shoes. Wash children's feet once a day in pure "^pid water, as the largest poies of the sys- "tem are located in the soles of the feet, and •these pores discharge offensive refuse mat- aber, which, if not remoVed, is re-absorbed «gain. Clothe a child's lower limbs, and the feet ^especially, warmly. The fashion that â- orders very short frocks and thin under- •clothing is deadly and crneL Children's "Stockinn should be changed at least every ' «ther day, and sunned and aired'^daQy. The Tans:led Skein. BY A. K. T. I knew that they were lovers, Though their love was not confessed. And even by their own young heartR That love was scarcely jruessed. Like the first faint glow of morning. Like the coo of wooinjr dove, Was this joy thit sweetly thrilled them â€" The first awaking love. They were a handsome couple. He was a manly lad. And she was a wiosome maiden, Sweet-tempered, bright and glad. As they sat in the cott-tge parlor. The little maiden wrought So busy at her 'broidery frame â€" " So needlessly." he thought For, oh, he wished to talk to her, To speak a tender word That rang and choed through his heart But, shy as any bird. She flew away if he but looked Too ardently his love. What could he do, what could he say. Her shyness to remove And so he sUent sat and looked At her with wistful eves But if she noticed it at all. One only could surmise. But suddenly she turned to him â€" " Please hold this tangled skein â€" I'm out of blue." I went a/wayâ€" When I cune in again. The look of things had changed somewhat The work was laid aside "The lassie's pale, white lily cheeks Were with rcse blushes dyed. No more he silent looked at her. Bat with a meaninr plain He looked at me and langhiog said, " We ve wound the tangled skein." A THBILLDIO 8CEHE-, vw Some two hundred jonniia|st were presmt yesterday, says a Paris oc^reapmiden^ at th« Polies Bergere, where a '**»«* gmeni/^- hflftfsal was given of a sesjuce of magnetum fAich took place in a cage containing two ftle lionesses. Sailda and Sarah, and an im- mense lion, Romulus. The cage was placed ontbe stage, and the lion-tamer, Giaemnetti, havinir entered it be made tbe animals first perform in the usual way, but the great attraction was the entrance into the cage of M. de TOToy and Ms "subject," Mile Lucia. This subject is not more than twenty years of age, plump, and what may be called plain. She was dressed in white, and had her hair hanging loose over her shoulders. After presenting her to the spectators M. de Torcy told her to go into a cage placed against the one containing the lions and communicating with it by a door. He followed her in and made a few passes in front of her eyes. In a minute Lucia seemed tu be fast asleep. Opening the door leading into the lions' cage Bt de Torcy entered it, and in obedience to his order was followed by his subject. She walked straight up to the lions, which were kept in respect by Giocometti. Romulus seemed to be half asleep, Sarah appeared afraid, and only Saida kept on roaring. M. de Torcy then made Lucia kneel down in front of the lions. Her arms were stretched out towards them, and the expression of her countenance changed from that of as- tonishment to joy. Roused up by Giacometti, the lions now began rushing and bounding around Lucia, who remained motionless. 1 he lioness Saida was then made to stand on her hind paws. While Giacometti held her jaws wide open M. de Torcy ordered Lucia to stand up and walk up to the for- midable animal. The subject obeyed with the utmost composure. Two heavy arm- chairs were then put into the cage, and, assisted by the lion-tamer, M. de Torcy placed Lucia, who was now as rigidly stiff as a board, with her head resting on the back of one and her feet on the back of the other. This was the barrierover which the lions were made to j ump with the most for- midable roaring. • he gas of the establish- ment waa turned low, Bengal fires were lighted, and the lions, urged on by Giaco- metti's steel whip, roared louder as they continued to leap over this barrier of human flesh and blood. From the beginning to the end there was something terrible in seeinc; the young woman in a state of unconscious- ness place herself in what appeared imminent danger of being devoured, and the unplea- sant feeling was considerablyincreased when the last jump the lioness Sasda failed to clear Lucia, and sent her rolling to thet ground. She fell heavily but remained inert till M.de Torcy waked her up by blowing on het forehead. On opening her eyes Lucia appeared more astonished than frightenea in finding herself among the wild beasts. SOME PEEAZS OF NATUEE. A Fighting Parson- It is told of the late Rev. Dr. Granville Moody, the " fighting parson," that once ai Piqua, Ohio, where ne was preaching, he maide a patriotic remark that rather cut Mr. Frank McKinney, a local Democratic leader, and McKinney threatened to whip him. "Yon may get hurt if you try it," replied the minister. But McKinney wasn't uraid and attacked him on the public street. In a twinkle Dr. Moody grappled with hun, got his head "in chancery" and pounded him until he begged for mercy, when he let Uim go, sa^uur; "I told yon, Fnmk, I might hurt you. In the scuffle they tunbled over a boy an broke his leg. Mr. Moody at once took charge of the youngster, paid tbe sur- geon's bill, and more, and sent an account to McKinney for half tiie expenses, which the latter paid. The wife of Mr. Hey, of Americus, Ga wears a handsome breastpin which was made out of a petrified strawberry which grew on her husband's farm. The berry is beautifully colored, resembling a bright ruby, and is very hard. It weighs about two ounces and glistens in the light like a ball of fire. Mrs. Rosanna Dennis, of Tiffin, died of dropsy sevmteen years ago, and her body, which was disinterred the other day, was found to be thoroughly petrified, with the exception of the feet. It was so heavy that ten men were required to move it. a piece chipped from the body resembled flinty lime stone. Ara Soule, of Grant, Minn., noticed that one of his favorite hens had ceased laying AggB, but growing remarkbly large. Finally after attaining an astonishing size the hen died, and Mr. Soule was curious enough to hold a post-mortem examination. He cut the fowl open and was somewhat astonished when four well-developed spring chickens popped out and began strutting around the barnyard. He supposes that some trouble with the hen's organization had stopped the egress of the eggs and that the natural heat of her body incubated the chicken germs. The petrified body of a human being was found on the farm of Martin Edwards, near Windsor,in a ditch last week. The body is that of a short, fleshy person, and is suppos- ed to be that of an ancient monnd-buUder. It is very hard and looks exactly like soap- stone. The head is long and narrow, the forehead high and prominent, with high cheek-bones, square chin and a small neck. The body was broken off at the knees, the lower limbs being missing. Its total length to the knees, is two feet nine inches, and its weight is about 170 pounds. There is a sink-hole on the line of the Carthage and Adirondack Railroad, near Harrisville, N. Y., into which ton after ton of gravel has been dumped, but only to have it disappear from sight. A short time ago the railroad employees succeeded in filling it up to a level with the surrounding coun- try, but when a couple of cars were pushed over it they sank at once in eighteen feet of water and a brakeman narrowly escaped drowning. Altogether 300 carloads of gra- vel and any quantity of rubbish have been thrown into the hole, and the railroad people now think that it is bottomless. In Zapohtian, Mexico, two hunters recent- ly discovered a beautiful grotto 30 yards long and 130 wide. The grotto is formed of quartz and is adorned wiui the most beauti- ful stalactites and stalaomites, which glitter like pearls when the lieht of the torches falls upon them. The infiKrations have form- ed exquisite pillars and colonnades thirty yards in height. In the centre of the grotto are two artificial reservoirs filled with clear and very cold water. On the floor were found many petrified skulls and bones, which leads to the belief that tbe place was once used as' a temple for human sacrifice by the ancient Mexicans.
