CLEAN TOPICS IN THE HOME. We reai many articles about cleanli- A«u. How to keep thi$ kiluhen clean, the consequence of uncleanlineaa in the (Ush-waabing and many other changes upon that virtue that lies next to goU- lineea, but comparatively little upon cleanliness of the tongue. In too many homes that member is accorded a liberty in filthiuess which would not be tolerated in any other depart- ment. The father comes home and tells stories the impure meaning of which ia obscured by a veil of ambiguity. The children, those small pitchers with great ears, wonder what father meant and why mother laughed and they are not slow to find out. They in turn do as father does, and repeat among themselves the vulgar joke, or the openly vile language they hear in the home, and so the edifymg circle spreads out and out into society. I wonder if any one can nieu.sure the vaat influence upon society at large which th.i8^ habit of impurity .-^t home exerts I We cannot expect our children to be better men and women than we are, in the natural order of things. If we by our example set the moral standard of purity on a low plane, how can we ex- pect that our young people will have nigh views of morality and honor I I wish that every young couple who found a kome might build there an altar to purity. Begin right, dear young people. Let your conversation be such that no one need blush to bear it. You will be surprised to learn how quickly you will acquire the habit of leaving objectionable words, phrases and topics out ol your conversation. You wUl be surprised. .:oo, to find bow quickly this sort of talk wUl offend you in others. The first years of married life, when reverence and respect for each other ia in the ascendant, is the best time to form this habit of pure speech. You can hardly measure your influence in that respect. I have in mind a young bride who upon ber marriage went to live with her husband's people. In her own home she had never heard the evil Jest, the vile story rehearsed, but in her new home tongues were not guard- ed. She was young and too timid to re- prove, outright, but her silence alone told its story, and in less than a year all had learned without open diacuA- eion that she and her husband did not relish impurity, and such conversation has been dropped in the family. The man in business has an oppor- tunity to throw bis influence on the side of purity. There are men who, to judge from thoir conversiition, are not fit for a pure woman to associate with. Such men has ever the story. Ihe unclean reference or jest to repeat, but the pure man has it in his power to reprove such, if not in woriis, by hia silence, which is eloquent. I know one who has had his forgiveness o.'jked by unclean men for intruding vilenetsa upon him. and yet he did not reprove by a spoken word. Let us have clean homes, dear friends. If the fountain is sweet, the wat<'rs will be sweet also and not only our own shall be Ijenefitted, but all who shall come under their influence.â€" Mrs. F. M. Howard in Housekeeper. TOO CAREFUL OF BABY. There are few things that cannot be carried to excew, however excellent they may be, in themselves considered. Even a baby may be fussed over, and fidgeted over, and token care of, and coddled, till it ia in danger of growing up a, weakling, U it grows up at all. On this point a corriwpondent wriius a few sensible paragraphs. "When my first child was born," said ilra. A., "I had the usual young mother's oraze for a daintily kept baby. The layette was one of those gorgeumi gift affairs, with frocks which Victoria I am sure, would have thought much too fine tor the royal childrenâ€" besides every conceivable fantasie in which the most luxurious-minded infant could by any possibility be attired. I used to afloat over the sachet-scented, exquisite little belongings, and the moment I was up and about after baby's birth I began to play doll with my small daughter, decking her out in first one thing and then another. '. "I had one of those fussy French nujsee, immaculate as a new pin ; and between us we scrubbed and polished up that poor baby until it's a marvel it didn't fade away before our eyes. After a bath in almond meal-softeued water, with plenty of Lubin and sweet- smelling talcum, she did look a darling in her sheer, beribbuiied draperies, and I, foolish mother, never noticed her lan- guor and waxen skin. "I did take notice that her hair wouldn't grow ; that worried me, for, no matter how becomingly dressed, a child with a billiard-ljall style of coif- fure does not realize the fondest dreams of the maternal heart. I sewed dolls' crimps in her bonnets, which was all very well for outings, but inadequate for home, so finally I called in the doc- tor. "He was a grumpy person, very curt and not over-civil at times. 'Bathed too much,' he said, briefly. 'Look it her skinâ€" all the life wiialied out of it. Tixj much care given that chilil. L(>t her get dirty and stay dirty. Nothing let- ter for children than judicious neglect." "It was a new idea and 1 wenl to work at it. Very shortly we went to our country place, an<l 1 noticed tho farmers' babie« who ato almost any kind of country foo<l, sat in puddles and went bare-buadeil whether tne rain fell or the sun scorched. They were in- evitable victims of future dyspepsia, but the fact remained that, ae babies, they were sturdy and rosy, and mine wasn't ; and I concluded to try judicious neglect. "I invested in gingham pinafores and stout shoes, dujuuwd a load of clean sand at t he side door, and inaugturaled a perpetual feast of uiud-pies. Pauline wa.s instructed not to say 'Don'l, save in extreme moments, and baby tiegan to live the life of a young animal loft to the betieficient care of sunshine and fresh air, undistiubed save at regular intervals tor food and sleep. "I bought chickens that she might feed them, igiot doves and other pets about the place, finding that animals gave interest but no overstimulus to the baby nerves. In short, I never had my wax dolly again ; but in the autumn I carried home a blooming sturdy lit- tle maid whose splendid spirits and per- fect health more than compensated tor occasional mud stains and torn pina- foroB." CANNING FRtJIT. Always use porcelain pans for boiling the fruit. Always use granulated sugar, best quality. Fruit should be fresh and ripe. Fruit should be first washed and picked over carefully. Use a wooden spoon in stirring. When the jars are to tw filled set them on a cloth placed on the bot- tom of a pan. and pour boiling water in two or three inches deep and they will not cr-ick. Fruit should be sealed hot. It should be sealed as tightly aa pos- sible so as to exclude all air. It should be kept in a cool, dark place. It should be watched frequently for the first two months or so, to see that it does not work. If it is inclined to work turn it out at once into the kettle and give it a good boiling, and seal again. Three-quarters of a pound of sugar to the pound of fruit is, to my mind, the best proportion, aa it does not then destroy the fruit flavor. A pound of sugar to a pound of fruit may be ujed. but it is too much for the ordinary berries, and should only be used where a fruit is particularly tart. Fruit should be boiled not less than half an hourâ€" good hard boiling, con- stantly stirring. In making jams, or putting up fruit in any way, do not attempt to econo- mize time but give it your entire at- tention. EARACHE IN CHILDREN. Yet earache frequently attacica in- fants aa well aa older children â€" even the little ones, who are never taken out except when securely wrapped, and they often suffer unrelieved because they can not make the mother understand where the pain lies. It may be suspected when a child is seized with a sudden and severe fit of crying, for which there ia no viaiblc reason, that tne pain ia in the ear, especially if certain symp- toms follow: The pain may suddenly subside and the crying cease, but the head will be restless and be tossed from side to aide, and the child will com- plain if the ear is touched. After a time, worn out with crying and pain, the little sufferer will fall asleep, and in the morning it will probably be dis- covered that the ear has been running. Something must be done or another night's pain will be the consequence. Heat is the best remedy, and a warm poultice should be applied behind the ear, after which it will lie warmed, dry the skin and rub in a little camphorated oil or worm laudanum. UNGRACIOUS. Givers who bestow their benefactions in such a way aa to attract the most attention are entitled to credit, not be- cause they give In that way, but because they give. But if they heard all that is said of their gifts they would pro- Itably not be ao well pleased with them- selves aa they sometimes are. The story ia told that a certain very miserly man, who, during the greater part of his life, had never Iwen known to give anyihing either publicly or priv- ately, at last bedtowed a chime of bells on a church in the town where he lived. "What do yuu suppose he did that for ?" some one a^keil. Oh, some one else answered, he did it so that he could bear the ruig of his money I SAW THE BATTLE. â- ode IM Miles and WlreU ('oar I'alantam All WlIkU Thirty Hourt. The greatest feat ever performed by a war correspondent was that of Arch- ibald Forbes in the Servian War of 1870. The nearest telegraph station, Semlin, was distant 120 miles from the scene of the battle, and the available riding nags were of the worst possible description. Aa soon as iVlr. Forbes knew the result of the battle, he rode off at a gallop, an<l all night long he kept at it, changing horses every lo miles, and forcing them on at the top of their speed.

He had wit- neffied the l>attle, wbicn had lasted G hours, ridden 120 miles, and written mid dispatched to the Daily News a telegraphic messiige. four columns in length, all in the space of 3U hours. TAKE A VACATION. This may not strike some of our treads ers as a subject with which the prac- tical farmer has anything to do, but we assure such that the most praciicaL successful farmer ia the ono who takea an occasional day off â€" even prolongs the day to a week on ten days some- times. Too many farmers seem to think assimilable by the soil in the shape of ammonia, nitrades, and the amide like matters of humus. The rate of disintegration, as well as that of nitrification, depends in part upon the chemical and physical char- acter of the soil, and partly upon the temperature and meteorological condi- tions. Moreover, the soil lying in rough in- terfurrijws has been subjected to the action of frost: it is in its upper layers so broken up and divided in aJl direc- tions by the powerful expansion of the water when converted into ice, as to be reduced to the condition of the great- est possible fineness, recognized and so mucn desired by the farmer under the that the thing to do is to dig with main brute force from early morning j term mellowness It has consequently attained that de- gree of pulverization and porosity which, with an adequate degree of moia- till late at night with no let up for three hundred and twelve days a year, and chasing round all day Sunday be- sides. Such men have a faint idea of the good things they miss in life. The farmer's life at best has days of hard toil that are sometimes long, but to make every day a long, hard one is not doing one's best. i ture, affords a solid standing ground for the young plant, while at the same time I enough air for the development of the I germ can penetrate the surface â- oil, and in the upper layers nutritive material I for the young plant dissolved by the moisture of winter is always present.

One does not have to go to the seashore or to a mountain retreat to have an outing; does not necessarOy have to take a train or a wheel. A good time of rest may be obtained by the change to be had in a trip by wag- on over the country from the home farm as a center. Writijig of such a trip, Webb Donnell expresses our idea when he says : Take a w^agon and the farm team, put in a supply of eatables for both man and beast, make provision tor camping out at night, and make a trip through the country as far aa your time and in- clination lead. "Think of the jolly dinners cooked by the roadside and the pleasure of a search each night for a place to cam^li Then, too, one would have a contmual interest in the sight of farm after farm, with its stock and its me- thods of work. Some of these farms you may have heard of because of some peculiar excellence, and you will want to visit them as you go along. "Such a drive can be made the means of great pleasure and much practical good, and when the horses turn in at the old place again I'm quite sure they will brinjg home a load of ^leople great- ly benefited by the experience. When you get home from this or some other \ outing begin to plan straightway for the outing of next year.. You can't think what pleasure the anticipation and planning will give every memlwr of the family. It will lighten the whole year's labor. We take things too seriously; we don't relax enough. Sup- pose a oit of such recreation does cost something t W'hat are we in this world forJ I greatly question the idea that it is to make mere working ma- chines of ourselves. Besides, one can work so much better after a rest of this sort and he will soon more than make up the cost." S\VTSS CHEESE.
