IndlanavoUt Journal Tostex-Mother to Woodehuck. It was the smallest woodcbuck I Bad ever seen, not much larger thau i large rat. Its head and shoulders were so large in proportion to tba body as to give It a comical look. It could not walk about yet, and had never before been above ground. Every moment or two it would whistia cheerily, as tbe old one does when tafe In Its deu and the farm doz Is fiercely baying outside. We took tha youngster home, and my little boy was delighted over tbe prospect of a Ume woodehuck. We captured them all, and tht oung family was again united. How these poor half-famished creatures did lay hold of tbe spoon when they got a taste of tbe milk! One could Dot help laughing. Their little shin ing black paws were so handy and so imootb; they seemed as if incased in kid gloves. They throve well upt n milk, and then upon milk and clover. But after the novelty of the thing had worn off, the boy found he bad encumbered himself with serious duties in assuming the position of fuster-mother to this larg family; so he gave tbem ail away but one, the first one captured, which had outstripped all the others in growth. This 6oon became a very amusing pet, but it always protested when handled, and always objected to con finement I should mention that the cat hao. a kitten about tha age of the chuck, and as she had more milk than the kitten could dispose of, the chuck, when wo flr-t got him, was often placed in the nest with the kitten, and was regarded by the cat as ten derly as her own, and allowed to nurse freely. Thus a friendship gprang, up between the kitten and the woodchuck which iasted as long as the latter lived. They would p!ay together precisely like two kittens; clinch and tumble about and roll upon the gra;3 in a very amusing vrtj. Finally tha wowh'buek took up his abode under the floor of the kitchen and gradually relapsed into a half-wild state. Ho would permit no familiarities from any one save the kitten, but each day they would . have a turn or two at their old gams of rough-and-tumble. The chuck was now over half-grown, and pro cured his own living. One day the dog, who had all along looked upon him with a jealous eye, encountered bim too far from cover, and his career ended then and there. Cen tury. Advice to Ten hers. Learn to think. The way you get knowledge is more important than the knowledge you got The mental activity is the important thing. The teacher, of all tho people in tha world, should bo a good thinker. By this is uot meant a logician, nor a metaphysician, but a gemilu? thinker, clear, discriminating, keen, vigorous. Learn how to teach. This is a spe cial art. No training for anything else is the best training for teaching. Tho principles are of greatest, impoitance. Select a few, or have them selected for you, and study them until they are to you what the a, b, c's are, i. e., the perl fectly familiar material for the bui d ing up of all wisdom and wit needed for teaching, as tbe letters form all the hundreds of thousands of words In the laneuae. Establish a method for the doing of everything that is to be, or that is liable to be, rep atcdly done. Your methods should only change with the necessities of occa sions. Jmcrit devices continually. Tni vourseirtojjo a Dnius in the art of frustrating wiia?you wisn to make plala. Let your aim re to teach every child to know, to think, to do and be all that is possible for him uuder existing conditions. Train yourself iu the art of self-control under vary ing conditions and in emergencies. Cuitlvato patienca perpetually, es pecially with children. Train your self t bear and forbear wlih cbildron of all ages in their relation to you and to ehc'i ether. Acquire a habit of prompt, cheerful obedience in yourself, since whoever best obey3 best sec.ircs obedience. Make the best of everything, since many of the failures in teaching come from inabil ity to ad apt one's self to tho varying conditions of school administration or social peculiarities.

SOMETHI.NO of a woman. I.V AMES CLEMEN'T AMBROS8. Many of the suggestions to women, if taken, should be added to, then panned on to men. And with a "wo man" in the caption, of course the brotherhood will not miss thin. What xhould a woman be? The best she kuows how, and a stndent of tha how. Opportunities are not accidents; bnt, like the fruit of the vice, hang be neath foliage need looking for, feel ing after. Nono so frail or poor she may not have charjee for excellence uuto others made to order made to fit her band; however small. And what a woman can do, tbe good man can try. And what mates a woman good looking? The cosmetics dashed npon the surface by a soul too large for self too large to be caged. Tha hand of a kind set is an artists in frenti tints; BDd the foreign memory of it sees no wrinkles. Kecognized sympathy with human sorrow took off the mask of I 'aiucess from the roughest features of the century, disclosing -'there the beanty of nobility. Senator "Xbad' Stevens onco oon d noted to the White Houso an old German woman seeking a reprieve for her soldier boy, conrt-martialed to be shot. Mr. Lincoln said: "Army offi cers complain that I am interfering with discipline." The senator said nothing, and Mr. Lincoln pat a mo ment looking at the old mother, then turned and wrote the reprieve. Pass ing out behind the Fenator, tne woman mnttered to herself, and he aflked: ''What's the matter, madam?" "Oh, sor, folks did a big lie so 'bout Lr. Linitkam; they tolo me he were homely like old hedge fence, when he are the most handsomest man I ever seen." Yes, kindness is the most flattering artist we can sit for a fictnre to. Onr memory of mother's face is full of tender words, little pats of kindness, nightly vigils ronnd our measled conch, great reprieves from punishment de served: aud we think not on ter trem bling hand in age, her feeble footstep and wribkled brow at ber lust visit home only remember the handsomest woman we ever saw. Perhaps the old rabli was rit?ht, that "Ood could not be everywhere, aud so made mothers." At any rate, not one that secondeth hu motion weareth an ngly look. Form, the soft outline in flesh, is not the lE.'Aoitre of beauty to thinking eyes, indeed, there is no finer physi cal mouliung than the fatted calf, the well ewed lamb in grejsn pasture", the blooded colt whose dam gives all sum mer to his toilet, we call them "beau ties," but we meuo they are fino an imals. And tho girl whoso only ambi tion is to be fanltlessly "groomed" will hardly come to bo worth uioro. Why, yon never know whether a fao is bandcome till you've read tho story written there; and you can soon tell whether it ia out of the nickel library or the hand-book of tho best home and tbe only heaven. Bobes sro "pretiy" when their habitat borders on tbe washbowl, with pink and pinafore tbeir aDUci; but ihey do not belong to the flora of beanty. Charles Augustas, in tbe crecn singe, thinks if he thinks at all that Clara Bell is almost divine; but commonly it is "divine foolish rees" which only tho sun of experience will tan to common sense. Girls are morally nice, fair, attractive many of them- especially if studying to culti vate all their gifts; their mother; should be beautiful beanty takes time time with a beautiful purpose attached. The fad of the press is to say things by courtesy called fnnny about "maidens of many summers," thongh less perhaps now that the maidens are eliminating from ed tonal inkstundH so many mescaline minds that have worked themselves empty; object lessons are tho bent school-masters again&t prejudice. Why, I know lots of "old maids" his tory will fall in love with; a class in creasing by choice, affectionately wedded to a good pnrpeso, tho honey moon never sotting, and their brains adding mental l.nso and hope to the world, even coaching posterity bett -r than some mothers. A symptom of higher social life it is, that sozno wo men help thetrjKelves. not let out the job to a wooden man or the leather punch-bowl. To have companioned with man it not always the sign royal of woman's pood luck or great wisdom. Man, however, is a good companion, when a good man and the woman is good. lSut tho spirit on guard at tho portal to Hnppy Land will not ask the womaDly soul whether sho had a hus band, thongh he mny admit some be came they hail, reciting that "these are they which have come ont of (,reat tribulation."

There is a woman worth a second look; I sometimes politely turn and tnko it, and would circuit tho square to get her "good-morumg" somothiag to flavor all the day snd livo aa aroma in memory. Sho ii neither g:vy nor gloomy; never riisbint, never familiar, jet always nppronchablu; never loud of speech nor afrr.id to S euk, always a timely word; never dror-sy, never dowdy you don't remember whnt sho had on; not whit fashion calls "a bcanty,"yet a boautiful face, an inspira tion to purest respect for womankind; not young, not old, yet the morning Ibht in her home, the evening i-tur in hur community; the prond ore humble beforo her, and tho humble proudly look up to her; she reigns by the divine right of helping others to reign, and her subjects novcr ask why they obey. Now, hers is a heanty the brnsh can not copy; it h:.H ripened amid the vines of dorolion to a redeeming purpoBe, touching homo with hcavoc, bringing buck the wnuderinj, kiudliug the cold heurtb, feeding tho h'i!yry, visiting the sick novcr visttod woh, coaxing tho cnrclevs to do likew ise, breathing gos pel into government in a word, fol lowing Christ. This is why the soul witbiu bales tbe outer woman with the fuce of glad tidings and the adoration of good men.

One would suppose that a liar was very easy to define. Tbe dictionary says that it is "a person who know ingly utters a falsehood with intention to dec-ire." Yet it is a well known fact, that the untruthful person does not necessarily deceive, where as tbe uncompromising honest character often unmeaningly does so. Sometimes one who is most decidedly unreliable, and one who can har!ly speak without fal sifying the subject, yet scarcely suc ceeds in fooling even tbe most obtuse. Give "a dog a bad name" is a very old proverb, and works in another way, for vice-versa a "Jog with a good name" carries conviction to all. Hence if information is re quired as to bow to attain this very doubtful accomplishment of lying, we would say: First of all cultivate a good memory for otherwise yonr nar rative will be folLoL cortriixtion", and wQ.to iiie person who tuns con ducts himself. His fate is sealed, and no after explanations can join the two ends of tbe story. The truth, the absolute truth at times, is the only way to bear off a bare faced lie when the occasion de mands. One unnecessary fabrication, and yon are storing up witnesses against yonrself and when at last dis covered the work of years will be de stroyed. He who is deficient in the want of sense, as well aa morals, fools no one, for Le often forgets what be has said from day to day, and his talk is a mass of absurd inconsistencies. Now the morbidly truthful person deceives sometimes, not only others but himself as well, aad in his intense desire to give every fact, lie unwit tingly passes over the principal points, and enlarges on others, thus putting too much emphasis on nnimpoitaut thing, and leaving momet.tons mntter in the background, and he afterwards to his horror finds that he has con veyed wrong improipit .

These forms of bread are much liked for teas aud snppers, and some of the larger acrts, into the composition of which egas enter, are favorite break fast and luncheon di-hes. If attention is paid to one point there never need be a failure in making them, either with baking-powder of with cream of tartar and sod.; baking-powder is a judicious mixture of cream of tartar and soda, or their chemical equivalents, with some fariuaceone vehicle. When these two ingredients are moistened with water, milk, eggs, or any liquid, carbonic gas is liberated, which, forc ing its way up through the dough, makes it full of little holes; in other words, makes it light, therefore the dough mnst be baked befoie the gas escapes from it; the baking of the dough so far hardens its textnre or subtttance that tbe holes or air cells are fixed in it, and in this way it is mi le light; this fact regulates the lightness of any dough made with either of these chemioul agents, and shows the n'--oe-sity for getting the dough into the oven as soon as possible after it is mixed. Tbe gas is produced by tbe reaction of the acid of the cream of tar tar npon the alkali of the soda; for this reason ti e crem of tartar may Le dis penstd with when sour milk is used to moisten the dough, the natural acid of the milk replacing it; the addition of soda as a corrective of tbe acidity of griddle-cakes or soured bread-dough is based upon tbe same condition; so, also, is the use of soda with some forms of molasses where there is present enough natural acid to cause a foaming condi tion when soda is mixed with it; if dough moistened with it while it is still foaming is baked at one?, it will be light. The lightness produced in breadjjud. cukes by tht naiJ-efeSfffa its baseiTchielly Dpon'tLe quantity of air which is in corporated with the substance of the ggs, or with tbe dough or batter, by long-continued beatinc:. The same result ol lightness would follow if a dough or butter made simply of flour, salt ana water were beaten until foam ing, and then baked at once; this is the principle upon which Graham Oems are made without using either eggs or bakiug powder. It is tbe air mixed with snow that makes batters light when newly fallen snow is added ' to tbem; two tablespoonluls will take the pla e of an e g if the bitter is baked aa soon as tbe snow is added to it.

Stobt told iw thb Seattle Journal, Mabch, 1892: -"A ship was lviDg;at ! tlie warl st Astoria wsiuug lor iuo ice to break. Tbe sailors from lack of anything to do idly watched the crows that surrounded the ship lookiog for bits of food. Tbey could not get tbe scraps out of the water but stood on the blocks of ice hoping that tbey might drift near enough for tHem to catch them. A flock of tea gulls flew about screaming flapping tbeir wings, snatching tbe food from the water and soon we notioed a sort of understanding between the crows and tbe gulls, the latter would put the food tbey took from the water on the floating ice near the starring crows and tbe men looked and wondered to see dumb creatures helping each other in their sore dtresa and pondered on the language of those creatures that we arrogantly call dumb."
