THE HOriE. ' eHfLDREN'S LUNCH BASKETS. Many wiveis who send their chtlclT«n to .school are obliged to put up luncb far them. Time and thought :ihould be given ill this work in order that whole- same ftxxl may be provided in as great » vnriety am possible. Much rich pas- . try should by all means be left out of the basket as a regular diet, but onoe in a while the children may have some rich pic and cake without injurious re- sults. The first thing to be considered is the receptacle in which the lunch is to be carried. Some sort of basket is best for this purpose. It will give sufficient ventilation to prevent that disagreeable odor which is certain to come from a lunch shut up in a tight pail. If it is necessary to use a pail, pierce a few holes in the cover to give ventilation. The plain Japanese napkins are cheap, and ara just the thing to use in the lunch basket. The bread should be light and sweat, at leant twelve hours old and not more than three days old. Cut it thin, and butter it generously. Rather give the child six thin dainty sandwiches, than two enormous, clumsy ODes. Avoid a great quantity of meat. Children who carry their lunches usu- ally eat less vegetables and more meat, too much of which, without vegetables is apt u> cau^ie eczema. Sandwiches are nice for lunch, and of these one can have many changes. Children are usually fond of nut sand- wiches. Chop walnut or hickory nut meats quite fine, season with salt and spread about one-half inch thick be- tween thin slices of buttered bread. Nuts are very nutritious, but without '•» "dditioo of salt are quite indiges- tible. Slices of cake crumble and dry out quickly. A better plan is to bake the duugh in small gem pans, and an attractive variety may be twd by ic- ing some with chocolate, others with white icing, and leaving some plain. These miniature cakes are delicious, too. if flavored with the grated rind of oranges or lemons. A couple of band- fuia of currants thrown into the cake batter will be much liked by the chil- dren, and grated cocoanut is delicious. If cocoanut ia used, huwever, less flour must be used. All kinds of cookies are nice, too. An occasional piece of pie will be anpreciated. Let it be of a kind that will not crush easily. Tarts ars more easily carried than pie, and are better for the children. Here is a re- »**•,# ^'*- "''"'la- which will keep ti quite a time : A scant cup of lard (warmed a little, but not melt- ed) and the white of one egg tborou^b- ly beaten ; one tablespoonfui of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of cold water, a pinch of salt, and flour suffioient to roll. If ot>tainable, put in a different kind of freeh or cooked fruit every daor. Now that the medical fraternity baa decided that apples contain more brain food than any other fruit or vegetable, let them be plentifully eaten. Nice, •ound apples baked with the peelings on are not easily mashed, and if a low glass, jar or tumbler with a cover can B procured, all kinds of jams, jellies or preserves may be carried without being overturned and spilled out. Sour or sweet pickles used sparingly are relished in the lunch basket ; but if the children are very young, pickles 'bould be sparingly used. a good childâ€" and one that would make a fine man or womanâ€" whom sbeFrii}n£ The child's physical wants must nev- er be n.eglected ; it must have amuse- ments vaAed and novel, but the good mother is its guide and directorâ€" not itj fllave.â€" IVIildred F. Smythe. THE ANGEL OP THE HOME. She does not make any fuss about it, nor ask to have a reporter at her elbow. But her sunny heart of self-forgetting love will not let her hands be at rest while there is any bit of helpful service she can render. If she can without ol>- servation slip the burnt roll or uuder- cruat on her plate it is done. If some oue must stay at hniue when there is a day's outing, she tells, with music in every tone, how glad she will be to be left quietly behind and have time all to herself to do ever so many things sblB has in mind. And none sUHpeot from word or tone how great the sac- rifice to give utp the pleasure. Her quick eye detects the oversight or neglect on the part of another, and she quickly hastens to remedy the mat- ter, careful that none shall know her hand has made up another's failure. Is a harsh round of judgment start- ed by some ill-advised criticism I She deftly and tenderly drops the gentlest, the sweetest possible word for the cri- ticized one, and switches the conversa- tion to other topics. Do we taot all recognize this " an- gel f" We call her mother, wife, sister. In the glory-land they will coll her Haint. SLAVISH MOTHERS. It la very possible for a good mother o have a very wiong conception of the duties of motherhood. To the woman who has been honored with the guardianship of children, there comes no duty more sacred nor of greater importance than the duties of motherhoodâ€" the care of her children. Her children and her eternal welfare must ever be her chief concern, and must necessarily monopolize the great- er portion of her thoughts, her energy ber interest and her affection. I say vhe greater portionâ€" not all ; and it is just here that many good women make the gravest error in the rearing of their children, an error that works in- justice to the coild, to the mother and to the race. A child that is allowed to monopolize too great a share or all, oif the mother's energy, is a ruined child. Ot a neglected child and an over-pampered child, the former has by far the greater chance for de- veloping into a sound maturity of body, mind and spirit. Tired mothers with the care of a large household on their shoulders, often allow themselves to I become slaves to the whiuis of their children, with never a moment's { rest from early dawn until late at | night after the babies have decided that they want to go to bed. All day long it IS a constant cry of "Mamma, 1 want thifl," "Mamma, give me that;" and instead of casting the child upon its own resources the weary woman leaves her work, her rest, or her guests to perform some absolutely needless service for the child. It is wearing on the mother, but that is not its worst feature ; it is posi- tive ruin to the disposition of the child. The children of such a mother grow into selfish, iinsatLsfied, restless youths, without a single trait ot sweet- ness in their disposition. They .soon come to look upon their mother us a. mere convenience â€" a tuachine Cor con- tributing to their personal comfortâ€" their personal slave- and thus the mother is robbed of the child's love ind respect, and the child is robbed of that most blessed of human virtues, true love and veneratiou of its mother. Again this petty, unnecessary work robs the mother of time and strength and inclination of duties uf muchRre.it- er importance. She is so engrossed with the whims and caprices of the child that she has no time nor thought for its greater needs. She begins by giv- ing great attention to the child's ex- pressed dealt es, and ends by giving at- tention to nothing oLse, so the over- pampered child itf a neglocted child. The pity ot it all is, that so often'it la such a good womanâ€" gentW and lov- ing who makea thia mistake, and such •ECONOMICAL RECIPES. Aiiple Turnovers,- Make good pastry, roll thin and out in pieces four inches square. Place a spoonful of seasoned apple sauce in the center of each square, fold two sides to ths center, glaze with milk, and bake in a quick oven fifteen to twenty minuter. Dark Chocolate Coke.â€" One cup of sugar creamed with butter the size of an egg. Add one beaten egg, one cup of milk, two scant cups of flour sifted with two teaspuonfiila of baking pow- der and one cup of grated choi;olate. Bake in two round tins or in a biscuit tin. Pat boiled frosting between lay- ers and over tbe top of the cake. Apple Fritters. â€" Make a batter with one cup of milk one teaspoouful of su- gar, two eggs, whites and yolka beat- en separately, two cups of flour sifted with two teaapoontuls of baking pow- der. Chop or cut fine four tart ap- ples, mix with the batter and fry in spoonfuls in hot fat. Serve with maple sirup or a sugar sirup made by boiling one cup of sijgar witiii one half cup of hot water. Beef Hash'.â€" Use twice ae much po- tato as meat. Chop the meat fine and the potato coarse ; season with salt and pepper. Put the hash into a spider, add one tablespoonfui of butter and two or throe tablo^nonfuia of rich milk. Cook slowly stirring often for half an hour then let a brown oruat form, fold like an omelet and serve very hot. Cream Cake. â€" Beat four eggs very ligltt. Add one oup of sugar, beat well; add one cup of flour sifted with one beaping teasjKmnful of baking powder and one third cup of milk. Bake in two round tins for 20 minuttui. When cold split and spread with a cream. Boil one pint of milk, add one cup of flour mixed with cold milk, two beaten eggs, one cup of sugar. Cook three or four minutes; when cool flavor with vanilla anil spread lietween the split cakes and sprinkle pulverized sugar over the top. This rule makes two cakes and will provide for two desserts. CORE FOR CORPULENCE. A Ijeaaea Jaanial Sajs Taralas Koaier aaalU la a Sare Care. Corpulence ia a subject concerning which the average doctor has many questions to answer. Hardly a day passes without the query : " Oh, doctor what shall I dot 1 ami growing so stout., '^ In reply to the oft-r^>eated question, one says " Carlsbad," another " Ride a wheel," while the third .suggests some nauseous compound or perhaps starva- tion!. 'J'he latter process is always a sure means of producing corpulency. Day after day elaborate accounts of new " treatments " for obesity are de- tailed in l>oth medical and lay journals. Some of these are not without their good points, while others are positively dan- gerous. At all events, the great ma- jority of the " cures " require such an amount of persistence and self-denial that the cases in which they prove Ijene- ficlal are not very numerous. S01M.KRSAULTS THIi LATEST CUBE. S'lau.sage and various uioveiueots when iwrformed in a systematic man- ner have always lieeii highly rated in the treatment of oliesity. Sweden (where mos.sage and the movemont curcM origluait'il) has l^een the home of the "cures" for many years. Tht^ London Graphic is responsible for a report of the lat«st remedy for cor- 1/Ujency. The remedy, which is simpli- city it.self, requires in the main that Ihc sufferer shall turn somersaults ; how many and how often the Graphic's re- port does not say, The principle may Ije a g(K)d one. To thoee, nowever, who contemplate an early trial of the remedy it may be well to point out an . element of danger.; that is, appendicitis, in the production of y/hich this new treatment may l>o an iin; iiant factor.

'I'hey act promptly upon the blou<l and nerves, and th'us drive diwase from the sys- tem. The following strong statements from i)»rsons who have been cured, prove their efficacy:â€" UELEASED FROlil RHEUMATLS-M. Mr. A.T. (rallant, of French Village P.E.I., writes: â€" "About the beginning of October, 1894, while I was digging potatoes, one wet chilly day, I contract- ed a very bad oold, and rheumatism shortly followed. For a time I paid but little attention to the pain iu my IXMly or the stiffness in my limbs. But in fhe course of a few weeks I was con- fined to the house. I now liegan to aj^ly rheumatic remedies which I con- tinued for cieveral weeks without any l>enefit resulting from their use. I then dropped them and gave myself into the hands of a doctor for treat- ment, and for nearly three months all that me<lical skill is capable of accom- plishing afforded no relief. My body was blistere<l and burned so that 1 could gel nc relief. My legs were stiff and helpless and I was as sore as a boil, my strength was entirely gone and 1 bad to be turned over by the use of sheets and blankets. I was da- ily growing weaker and my condition more serious. Hope of recovery had almost vanished, except that while there Is life there is hope. After three months of such torture I was induced to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills atrial. I gave up all other treatment and be- gan the use of the pills. Not a great many days had passed until there was a marked improvement in mv ronditloii and I continued the use of the pills until I was cured. I have ad good use of my limits as ever I bad ; my health is perfectly restored and it is all due to the wonderful power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which released me from (lain and have given me a new lease of life." DYSPEPSIA AND MVER TROUBLE CURED. Mr. Mark J. Kennedy, of Rldgetowii, says:â€" "I can coosoientiously re- commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to those who may l)e suffering from dys- pepsia or liver trouble. For years I .luffered from this romplioalion of trou- bles and so bad was this dyi^x^sia that 1 could not touch a morsel <if food of any kind. I often found it difficult to obtain sleep, and what little I did get ttl these times was often broken by horrid dreams. This ot course was the result of the dyspepsia. But in addi- tion to m}| discomfiture was added liv- er complaint. I was subject to dizzi- ness, I had a pain in the back and bloat- ing of the bowels and was imle, hag- gard an<l despondent. It will be read- ily .seen that I was in a bad condition. I kept doctoring and dosing my.'wlf without the .s'ightest l)enefit, and fin- ally gave up in disgust, feeling that I would have to live out nXj life in" this miserable condition. A friend sug- gested Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but so great was my disgust at medicine that I felt tempted to be profane. But my friend was persistent and in the end handed me a box ot pills, and Hook them more to please him than from any tbouitbt of lienetit. I took a sec- ond l)ox and to my astonishment I was deriving l)enetil from them. I con- tinue<l taking them and I am cured. Do vou wonder llierefore that I now consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ihe greatest medical discovery of t he 19th century, and will always recommend them. I urge tba«e who are suffering but may be as skeptical as I was to try thein and learn their virtue. SWOLLEN AND DROPSICAL-CUR- ED. . • Mrs. Altx. Ross, Broad Cove, N.
