I am thankful for tho Interest tho Homo Circle has taken In this subject for I fear it Is by a great many uiidi-rmtvd bocauso it docs not seem to tako hold on tho moral and eter nal welbboing. Hut does it not? Aro wo not placed In this world to work to advanco tho canton! tltn KiMvomcr'i kingdom byrcalacr vlco; to bo producers Instead of consumers, thankfully adding our mito to the great sum total of tho world's happiness! Can this bo ' ilono while tho mind is alworbed In nursing a focblo and sickly body! Is it not the duty of every ono who has children to mo every avail able moans to incrcasu their knowledgo so tlioy may be enabled to avoid thoso serious ."nistako that havo lievu mado through ignor nnco air-icting not only the general health but deteriorating thu tono of mind and morals in , tho whole after life? It is considered mat ter of course that tho child will grow accord ing to constitutional tendencies and that so much attention to rule of health will only make tho subject of them whimsical and fas tidious, yet by a duo regard of tho laws of physical organization aro not evil constitution al tendencies often checked, liko tho skillful gardener watching over tho tender plant that it may come up to a vigorous maturity? Tho system from tho beginning is a complete sys tem.

Young persons cannot under stand the danger of violating Nature's l.iws until they feel tho penalty.

This department has languished but wo in tend after this to have each week something of interest in this lino. Wo saw a lady quite recently tryjvg to kill littlowhllo worms that infested a box of sprouting tomato plants. A weak tolutiou of limo water brought them to tho surface immediately in a dying condition. A very littlo cayenno pepper Is ricoiiitncndcd. Earth that is to bo used In potting flowers should bo baked to kill such parasites. Soot from a chimney if applied in a liquid form will have a wonderful cilect upon plants that aro hopelessly deteriorated. It is lino for roses. Cirliollo acid, ten drops to a pint ot water, will alto kill white worms. Wo want somo of our friends to try a sweet potato for foliago in a hanging basket. No ono who is not fa miliar with tho vino would suspect that it was not a foreign pi ir.c. I'lauts need to bo re-potted onco or twico n year. When tho roots becomo matted they should Iks taken out and the roots trimmed out, putting frrsli earth carefully aliout the plants again. Cnrc must lie taken that they aro not too soon ex posed again to the light till the roots shall havu had n chance to start again, n littlo gravel or charcoal must bo put in tho bottom of tho pot. Cuttingi aro often e.tdly started in water. Fill a small bottlo with waim water, remove tho lower leaves (but tcavo a bud at tho Ikuo) put in tho water and hang up by a string in tho window and soon tho tiny routs will ap pear. Oleanders, heliotropes, verbenas, roios and fuchsias will start readily; as soon as the roots aro an inch lout' they must Ira planted, or, tlio bottle might bo filled with dirt ami after a littlo break tho bottlo and plant, He gouias are a foliago plant and are now much thought of, wo propagate them, and its a sin gular way to do, pick a leaf with a stm, put it in a glsss of water so that tho leaf will rest on tlio top of tho water; after a time, if kept in a warm room, there will appear little, tiny leaves from the center of the old leaf ami roots will come from tho end of tlio stem and from tho leaf too. It is interesting to watch the process. They mutt Ira planted in soil af ter tho leaves appear, or wo should lint fill up tlio glM with soiL Bmoked Mutton Hams. Tho following wo givo to our readers, know, ing that mutton hams aro very nice. Cros used to put them up and smoke them, they wero oven liettcr than venison ns they were not so dry and hard. It makes a nice varie ty to havo dried meat iu tho house, making an excellent breakfast dish a littlo of the meat goes a long way wo shave oirasthiu as pnssib'e, cook for a moment In a littlo water, thou add plenty of milk or cream, somo butttr and Hour for tliiekenii.g. It should be murcd over bread or biscuit, making a dainty dish that ono can gctupquickly, A few cgu's beaten up in tho gr ivy is nice. Somo frizzle tho meat in a little butter first beforo making tho groi cither way is delicious. Dried beef is used iu this way and is an economical way to uso up stalo bread, lor who ever saw children who did not like Kr.ivy! Choose fat young mutton. Hub it thor oughly with a mixture iu the proportion of ono part sugar to two of salt, and half an ounco of saltpetre and tho same quantity of black pepper to a pound of tho mixture. I'laco tho meat iu a covered vessel and turn and beat it twice a day for three consecutive days. Tho fourth day wipe tho scum from tho meat, wash it with strong vinegar, and again rub It with the mixture. The day after beat and turn it; repeat these alternate oper ations for ten days, lieiiii careful to reiii'ive tho scum licforo each rubbing, ami to turn the meat every time. After this it mutt be smoked for ten days. To Ira mod tho same as smoked venikou or dried bref. Tn pickle without smoking them, rub the hams with a mixture of sugar, popper and saltpetre, allowing four ounces of the former and an ounco each of thu two latter to every twelve pounds, and a pound and a quarter of salt to tho' same quantity. After the meat is thoroughly rubbed, cover It with the salt and turn and neat It every day as beforo directed. At tho end of a week add a tcscupful of vine gar to the brine and coutinuo tho turning and boating. Aftor three weeks take it from the brine, wash It with fair water, then with strong vinegar and hang up in a cool cellar for a week or less according to the weathor. It should lie soaked iu cold water about an hour before boiling. Au old cook look says that hams protected by wrapping, can be kept packed in a barrel full of charcoal broken pretty small, and even claims that tainted meat cau bo restored, However doubtful that last statement may b, it seems quite possible that good meat can be so kept for a few days in warm weather. References ai to Responsibility. The llritish Court of Appeals has just de cided a point as general interest as to the re sponsibility attaching to persons who per mit reference to be made to them respecting the financial position of others. The plain tiff in the case had certain property to let, and A wishing to become his tenant, gave 11 a a reference. On being applied to by the plaintiff, II replied that he knew A to bo in a good and reapoutible.positioii, and able to meet the responsibility of the undertaking. A, accordingly was accepted as a ten ant, but a few months afterward he left without paying any rent and taking the futures with him. An action waa then brought by the plaintiff against 11 for a false and fraudulent representation as to his posi tion, and iu the course of the case it transpir ed that H, when he replied favorably aa to A's position, had no actual knowledge a to the means of the latter beyond this, that he lad no more than 100, and had failed twice lra fore. In these circumstances the Court of Appeals, reversing the decision of Vice Chan cellor ISacon, have held 11 liable for the loss sustained by the plaintiff. On the part of 11 the Master of the 1 tolls said there was, doubtless, no fraudulent Inten tion in the sense of moral turpi tude, but there waa legal fraud, which consist ed not in the defendant's saying that he believed the matter to bo true, or that he had reason so to believe it, but in asserting positi vely his knowledge of that which he did not know. The defendant hail made an untrue representation, and must accordingly suffer for it.

Domes and minarets and towers, Turrets which can kiss the sky, Grottos cool, and leafy bowers Clad in buds that never die, These and lieautics twico as fair, Deck my castles In the air. Flecks of clouds all bright and troldcn Hover round their shadowy walls; Strains and voices, sweet and olden, Echo through thesn spectral halls, Many an angel lingers where Float my castles iu the air. But when I approach them nearer And their beauties fair would claip, Neither moro distinct or clearer, Ever they elude tuy grasp, And I turn in sad despair From my castles in the air. OUR LETTER BOX By limo means somu of tho letters this week have n ilato which show that they ought to have been printed beforo this, but it's better lato than never. Anuiu is one wIiojo letter has laid by so long, slio must writo again, for she dues well for n little girl eight years old. Another Annio twelvoyrars old writes from thosanio place, a nlco letter too. Minnie Longsaysit is her first lottcr, and we mutt compliment her on It, and on tho way she helps her mother. Amos beats all tho boys for ho has been coon hunting, which must havo lxn great fun for tho boys but not for thr coons thoso eoons aro great rascals and must bo killed, yet ono can't help but feel sorry for them, they nro only trying to get a living iu thclrownway. Hubywrites'acarcful, neat letter and says slio feels that all tho lioy ami girls who writo for this column aro almost friends, which Is quite truo with us all. Wil lie and Etta a brother and sister writo togeth er and we think Willio must be a great com fort to his mother by being so otteutivo to her comfort. Etta has thrco quilts, which shows industry in a girl eleven year old, then cookiug dinner nil by herself on that dreadful day, called wash day, when ovcrylrady feels cross and tired. Fanny has plenty of pets, she must tell us about "tlicir smartness some day, for if one is observing animals will bo found to exhibit much shrewdness and many funny tricks which they seem to loirn by ex perience and obxorviijjoii, sometimes showing reasoning power. A little girl nwny off in Illinois says sho has been enjoying all your letters, and writes to tell you so. Mlunlo May has a pet deer, besides many other, it is to Ira hoi ed that she finds time to take good cue of them all. KUiu tells how shu washes dishoi. Wu I'iOiild not lis afraid to cat on them if she keeps up to lior rule. "Mother" always knows tho best niul nicest wny of do ing the dishes and every little girl should Ira willing to givo up her own way ami follow mother's though it may Iran littlo moro troub lesome Tliero is no ono thing that needs to Ira dnno with cleanliness and caro than keep ing tho dishes shining and clean, it is very disagrecablo to handle greasy cups and plates so they should always first bo washed in hot soapy water then havo clear hot water poured over them beforo wiping is' not nice to wipe them out of soapy water. Mary writes n short but nlco little letter and seem to have tried to do it well. George tells how he helps and does the chores for his mother, George It, writes a splendid newsy letter and oilem us au Indian pestlo which wu would value very' much and we will provido somo way to get it after a while.

Tho strongest desiro of tho boy is to be como a man. ISow, tlio first evidence ol innit- hood. Tho flint serious step made in life, is the wearing of trousers. The first pair of tniwser i nil event desir ed by tho father mid drendo 1 by tho mother. To tho mother it is tho beginning of tho end. Sho looks with moist eyes 011 tho littlo petti coat forever abandoned, and sty to hertelfi 1 havu lost my baby; my reign is ended, nnd nlasl how soon. Ho will have new tastes, new desires; ho is 110 more mines his individu ality asserts itself, ho is amucliody, ho is n lxiy, Tho father, on tho contrary, Is charmed. Ho laiighcs in his sleeve as hu looks nt the louder calves which emerge from thu truwten . Ho feel tho littlo boy ro clearly outlined 1111 dcr the new garments, mid say to himtelfi "How well he is formed, tho jolly littlo dog ho will havo my broad shoulders and sturdy tegs, how strongly ho stands." Ho would liko to see hi 111 in Itoota, nnd it would not tako much to mnku him buy him n pair 0 spurs. For the first time he sect himself re fleeted in his little boy. He looks at him at at a nocture hung in n new light, nnd for tin first time, too, ho finds iu excessively agree;. hie to call him "my son." A for thu baby himself ho is intoxicated, glorious, triumphant, but all tho tamo a little embarrassed by his arms and legs, and if we might hint it without otfeusu, very like a young goose which has lawn plucked at the approach of varm weather. The greatest annoyance of tho poor little man is his past. How many grown men Imvc been annoyed iu the same manner. Ho feels deeply that trowser luvolvuubl'gations that he mutt taku on new ways, new gesture; if possible a new tone of voico. Ho even begin to ape the way of his father, who perceiving it, i not one whit displeased. He essays masculine gestures, and this stiugglu Iwtweeii his latent babyhood and his woud-lio man hood gives him tho most comical air in tin world. Ills petticoat follow him persistently ami almost enrage him. Game Law, but Journsi, Thu game law came iu force a few day ago, making it puuishablu by lino to tako, pur-mo or destroy the different kind of ducks.giouse, pheasant and quails. Tho penalty is $3 for each bird killed, and pot hunters and boys should liesr in mind that there is a sport men's club at this place, one ot whoso object ia tho preservation of game during thu close kosou. Any one detected violating the laws will Ira prosecuted to tho full extent. Ducks are all ready nestling, while grouse, pheasants and quail will commence laying and Incubat lug iutide of a couple of ,vcek, and hunter should surely give the bird a abort rot of four months to replete their yearly diminish ing number.
