of the toDgue which communicates 
directly with the nerve centers of the 
brain. When the brain center is in¬ 
active, it may be stimulated by pulling 
the tongue. It is inactive in cases of 
suffocation. 
If a baby does not breathe properly 
when born, if the tongue is systemat¬ 
ically pulled a few minutes, the baby 
will begin, of its own accord, to attempt 
to breathe. Pulling the tongue also 
helps by clearing the throat. In cases 
of drowning, it has been discovered 
that pulling on the tongue 10 or 15 
times a minute acts as a more certain 
and powerful stimulus than any of the 
old methods, such as rolling the subject 
on a barrel, hanging him upside down 
from the meat-hook, or “ pumping” him 
with his arms, or blowing into his 
lungs. _

HICKORY-NUT MACAROONS. 
N response to our request for a re¬ 
cipe for hickory-nut macaroons, we 
have received a number of replies, from 
which we select the following as differ¬ 
ing from others, and also recommended 
as having been tried and found success¬ 
ful : 
Two cupfuls of finely-chopped hickory- 
nut meats, two eggs, four tablespoon¬ 
fuls of sifted flour, one cupful of sifted, 
pulverized sugar; flavor with almond 
extract. Beat the eggs very light, beat¬ 
ing in the flour slowly, then the sugar 
by spoonfuls. Add the meats last. Bake 
on buttered paper in a slow oven. 
MRS. C1IAS. STRICKLAND. 
One cupful of chopped nuts, one cup¬ 
ful of pulverized sugar, one egg (yolk 
and white beaten separately), one table¬ 
spoonful of flour. Mix the nuts and 
sugar, then the yolk, then the white, and 
lastly the flour. Accuracy is very essen¬ 
tial in measuring these ingredients. 
MRS. G. T. ANDREWS. 
Beat the whites of five eggs to a stiff 
froth ; then add one pound of pulverized 
sugar, one pound of kernels chopped, 
and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Drop 
half tablespoonfuls of the batter on a 
sheetiron pan, and bake in a quick oven. 
MRS. J. B. MOSTELLER. 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “ Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best — A&v. 
PRINTED PATCHWORK. 
Remember thou a debtor art 
To every man by want distressed, 
And he may claim the rightful part 
In every good with which thou’rt blessed. 
And if to-day a golden stream 
Of comforts through thy life is flowing, 
Should hungry eyes unheeded gleam 
In on thy board with plenty glowing? 
Scare not from thee the frightened dove; 
Think of the gleaner in thy mowing, 
And the last vineyard clusters why remove? 
—Raymond II. Stearns. 
_Phillips Brooks : “ It is in its con¬ 
tact with the healthy relations of human 
life that religion keeps its own true 
healthiness.” 
-Dr. Frank H. Hamilton: “Girls 
need health as much—nay, more than 
boys. They can only obtain it as boys 
do, by running, tumbling—by all sorts 
of innocent vagrancy. At least once a 
day, girls should have their halters 
taken off, the bars let down, and be 
turned loose like young colts.” 
... .New York Ledger : “ Every young 
life has a right to an intellectual en¬ 
vironment. What fresh air is to the 
plant, the domestic atmosphere is to the 
child, and in proportion to its over¬ 
whelming importance is the emphasis of 
the obligation. The home must be 
not alone the shelter of the body, but 
the cradle of the mind.” 
-Mme. Loukmanoff : “Children are 
always indifferent to suffering, because 
they lack imagination and sympathy. 
They do not hesitate to tell a cripple 
that he is deformed, a shabbily dressed 
person that he is poor. This is truth¬ 
fulness, but not of the virtuous kind. 
So, when men tell the truth, they do so 
out of cruelty and recklessness, not 
stopping to reflect on the pain caused 
thereby.” _ 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
Tomato Soup. —We use tomato soup, 
in hot weather, in the place of the more 
heating potato soup. Boil a pint of 
peeled and sliced tomatoes until tender, 
salt, and add a tablespoonful of flour 
rubbed smooth in a pint of water. Boil 
until it thickens, add a lump of butter, 
and serve. Sometimes we use more 
flour, and in place of the butter, add a 
pint of rich, sweet milk. A small 
onion is sometimes cooked with the 
tomatoes, making a little change in the 
flavor. Serve with crackers or bis¬ 
cuits split and browned in the oven, or 
thin slices of toasted bread. r. 
Don’t Be Opinionated. —There is 
nothing in this world I dread more than 
becoming opinionated, says the House¬ 
keeper, and living to hear my friends 
say : “ Oh, don’t dispute with her ! Of 
course, she is wrong, but you could 
never convince her of that fact. Remem¬ 
ber, she is old, and we must make allow¬ 
ances for her.” That is what is said, by 
kind-hearted relatives and friends, of 
more than two-thirds of the aged people 
now living. Is it an indication of a 
necessary characteristic of old age ? I 
don’t believe it. It seems to me that, if 
young women would watch themselves, 
with a view to fighting against it, they 
might be open to conviction on all mat¬ 
ters of importance, as long as their think¬ 
ing faculties are spared. To have your 
statements doubted, to be obliged to 
prove them, and to learn that you are 
mistaken and must begin to look at the 
matter from an entirely different point 
of view, is the best sort of discipline for 
the mind that is to be kept active as long 
as life lasts. Think of it in this light 
the next time you are inclined to become 
angry when a statement you have made 
is disputed. The time to be really angry 
is when you discover that a statement of 
yours has been accepted in silence, sim¬ 
ply because you happen to make it. 
I know women who congratulate them¬ 
selves that whatever they say is never 
disputed by any member of their fami¬ 
lies. To me such a condition of affairs 
would be almost an insult. I am older 
than they, but not yet old enough to 
have my statements accepted in silence 
on account of my age, and I should feel 
that I was considered either too ill-tem¬ 
pered to discuss the question pleasantly 
631 
or profitably, or so weak-brained that it 
would not be possible for me to see the 
matter in any other light than that in 
which it had first presented itself.

Holes in Your Health, 
What does that mean ? Sup¬ 
pose you are taking in money 
all day, and drop it into a 
pocket with holes ; you will 
find yourself a loser instead of 
a gainer by the day’s business. 
Same with your health. You 
eat and drink and sleep, yet 
lose instead of gain strength. 
There’s a hole in your health. 
Some blood disease, probably,
