(ltd bless you, Leslie darling! Two fair years Have dropped their perfumed petals at your feet. God guide you safely through this vale of tears And keep you ever good, and pure, and sweet ! Punishment. “Johnny, you bad boy ! Come in here, right away. Just. look at that boy, Mrs. Smith! You may well hang you head and be ashamed ! Don't scowl a me that way, sir! There! Go into that, corner until you can look pleasant 1" Now, I ask anybody, is it in human nature, or any other kind of nature, to "look pleasant " under such circumstances as these‘.’ And was Johnny really “asham- ed ” when he hung his head? Not-a bit- of it. I fear if Johnny were asked to define his feelings, he would State in most un~ inistakable terms that he was “mad,” which in children’s parlance stands for any degree of resentment or anger they may happen to feel. “ Not long ago, murder was committed by 5 young man, and the atrocity of the crime was increased by the fact that. the young murderer had borne in his mind for. years, a resentment for punishment given by the murdered man (his Childhood's teacher), treatment, even though the words be spoken by a mother. The mother who thus ad- dresses her child commits two grave errors, â€"â€"onc, that of rcproving her child before a third party ; the second, that of setting him an example of ugly toxic and manner. for following which, she immediately punishes him by sending him in the corner, till he “can look pleasant.” “Look pleasant l” “'onld you look pleasant, think you, if someone whohad un- disputed authority over you should hold you up to the scorn and ridicule of those whose opinion you valued? ' Simply be *ausc childhood is a time of short memories for many things, is no reason that the first sting should not be bitter, or that all resentment should be immediately forgotten. If childhood is the time for short memories, it is also the time for unusual sensitivcness, and a reproof that arouses anger instead of Contrition dot-s infinitely more harm than good. letter that a child be never rcproved than that its punishments be such as to cause it to cherish resentment. The factis, childrcnarc much more reason- able beings than die average parent realizes, and at a much carlicragc than usually im- agined, begin to exercise those reasoning powers which God has implanted in all. What, then, is the first mental process after such a scene as the forct'oing ‘1 “John- ny” feels that his mother and her neighbor are evolving some amusement at his expense. He. can but feel that his mother is likewise venting a certain feeling of anger on him. The idea of his mother feeling sorry that he is a “bad boy" never enters his head, and indeed, it- is to be doubted if it even cntors hers either, as it is but too often tl at this sentiment is no factor in the case. Children are punished a great deal too much, and reasoned with a great. deal too little. How is a child to distinguish between real right. and wrong. when the same punish- ment is meted out for a. torn dress as for a lie? “hen the sonic little words are used in reproof for a broken cup and a broken com- mandment ‘3 Indeed. if parents would carefully sift out- ‘thc punislnncnis which they administer for 'their own satisfaction, from thosc they ‘d- minister for the child‘s good, entirely L’ll! ii- nating the former, punishment would be much reduced, harmony ‘.'.'onld be much gi‘cater. and we should have a better. more thoughtful, mote rcsprmsiblc set of children, and t-hc coining gcncration would be an im. proveincnt. it ‘n The Art of Jelly-Makinn‘. The fruits most crmmonly uscd arc strawv berries. currants, apples. peaches. crab- upples, nuinccs and rasplun‘rics. Of these crab-apples and quinccs jelly most easily : strawberries and rasplwrrics arc the hardest to manage. The reason for t'. is lies in the pee In. which is the jcllying principle of fruits. When the fruit is in the green state it has about the same chemical composition as the leaf. and has then a constitu ‘i:'. call- ed pcctosc, \‘iiich is insolublc. As it ripcns. 1y a kind of fermentation this pcctu-w bc- comcs pectin. a soluble substant c of u gelatinous charm-t 'r.

In a wet season fruits of all kindsubsorb more u:0l>tt‘.1’c. {lien-fun: are harder to jelly. This would be csi‘vccially so with fruits containing a large amount of water in the first place. such as strawbou ics. A jelly cannot be madc- ot' cherxics with- out the addition of gelatiuc. for too large a pcrccntagc of tlnir conqcfition is‘ water. The first step in making it lly is. ofcoursc. the gathering or buying «it the fruit.

Neither should the fruit be gath- ered immediately after a rain. These are little things. bu they are quite csscntial to uccrss. We now come to the second sup. the making. The usual rule is :0 use a pound of sugar to a pint of juice. The ways of ex- tractiu ' the juice of the fruits are so simple and we 1 known that they need. scarcely be mentioned here. This precaution, however. must be insisted upon in the making («femur jelly-the jelly must be attained through a I while the student vas a little boy. Of course it is all specially atrocious and yet it is to be doubted if a child treated in the way spoken of above, ever entirely for- gives (and certainly never forgets) such perfectly clean flannel. bag, without 8 nea~ ing. In the kind of sugar to use one ndsa variety of opinions, but experience and ob servation lead me to decide that. white granu- lated sugar is by all means the-best. The cheaper sugars leave an unpleasant taste, and their sweetening power is not so great. t is rather difficult in the larger cities, in these degenerate days, to find no: only un- adulterated but uncolorcd sugar. I might be supposed that. at least whit-3 sugar, after the trials it has been subjcrtcd to in order to make it white, could be sold without coloring, but dealers claim that the colored is preferred to the uncolored, so indigo, a' vegetable dye. is used to give it the proper sellalle line. This dye is iitsoluble in water, and often has much to do in keeping jel- lies cloudy. 'The sugar is used not only to give the desired flavor and sweetness. but as a prescxw‘ative. The fruit juin‘; alone would soon spoil, but with the admixture of sugar and properly kept, never. Fruit at the right stage of maturity will jelly, after the proper amount of cooking.without tue addi- tion of sugar, so that the sugar is not. added to giv the required solidity. The juice must be boiled in a porcelain-lined kettle to pcrmit‘the evaporation of the water before the sugar is-added. If this fact» of e ‘apor- ation is kept in mind, after a very little 5:}:- pcrience, a person anxious to succeed will have few drawbacks. \Vith the more wat- ery fruits, in a wet season, and With very ripe fruits, a longer boiling must take place. Too long boiling destroys the gelatinous capability of the pectin, and the fruit» will never jelly, so a happy medium must be found. Twenty minutes is the usual time of boiling before the sugar is added, but it. varies with different fruits. As I am only to give suggestions, I cannot give rules, which can be found it! mos: good cook: books. The porcelain-lined kettle, 'or its equi- ‘alcnt, is an absolute necessity, for healtli’s sake.

Occasionally the local columns of the papers published in the min- ing districts contain an item concerning the digging out of a “ hefty lump" of the precious metal, but. the examples of concentrated wealth are no: what they used to be. One of the last. discovered nuggets was dug out a few weeks ago in the Spring Gulch Creek, above Reddinc, in Shasta county Cal., by two men while washing gravel. The lump was irregu- lar in shape, being about for. ‘ inches long‘by two in diameter, and yielded a trifle over $500 worth of pure metal. ‘ The Prescott loariu- of a recent date pre- sentedits readers with a cut of the. face. bust. and outlines of apretty well-developed lump of gold that laid been found in Big Bug dist ct by a Mexican named Jesus Sazueta.
