food prepared and given; in fact, what do 
you know of the physical and moral train¬ 
ing of the little being that God has placed 
into your keeping if you leave it to the care 
of the hireling nurse? 1 know there are 
•exceptions, but when I speak of the masses 
of German, Irish, and negro nurses, I 
speak advisedly when I say that they are 
wholly unfit for their duties. 
Household pets ! In what can they equal, or 
approach, the child treasure—God’s greatest 
gift? Everything sinks into insignificance 
beside that, though I have seen a mother 
consign her child to the nursery and the 
nurse while she came to the dinner-table 
and placed her poodle dog on a chair at her 
side. Insist by example and teaching that 
good manners are the commodities of every¬ 
day life. Isay, emphatically, have your chil¬ 
dren so obedient at home that it will be the 
delight of your friends to have them ac¬ 
company you when you visit them. A 
thorough mother will first study her child 
(she will not study the nurse until after¬ 
wards). And then, if compelled to employ 
a nurse, she can judge correctly what is re¬ 
quired. Then, with constant oversight and 
frequent presence, there will be few fruit¬ 
less after regrets. henry old comer. 
T HE “Mail & Express” says that it is 
very difficult to tell the truth under 
“fashionable” circumstances. 
TIMELY. 
H AVE you ever tried musk-melon 
sauce? It is rich and delicious. 
Remove the seeds and skins and cut in 
small, square pieces. Cover with sweet 
cream, add a litt le sugar, and serve at once. 
Watch the little ones as the nights grow 
cool and take care that they do not begin 
to “curl up in bed.” Does not the habit of 
sleeping “ all in a heap ” cause round 
shoulders and sunken chests? Will some 
writer for our splendid “ Domestic Econ¬ 
omy Department,” give us a few ideas on 
this subject? 
baked transcendents. 
Choose those of the same size with stems. 
Wash, remove the “ blossoms,” stand with 
stems up. Pour a little boiling water into 
the dish, and sprinkle on them a few spoon¬ 
fuls of sugar. Bake in a rather quick oven. 
Nice for dinner with meat dishes. 
Try some dried ones, this year, too. 
Quarter and core them. With a darning- 
needle string them on white cord, and hang 
near the kitchen fire. They make good 
pies, having a pleasant, peculiar flavor. 
Will some one, please, tell me how to make 
jelly from these little apples? 1 have tried, 
but without success. I should like the in¬ 
formation soon. MRS. LEVI H.NILES.
