LET THE SUNLIGHT IN.
Let ia the goVeu sunlight,
Ye, open ido the door,
And gloom will quickly vanish-'
Life's brightness come once more,
Brink in the healthy ntctar,
That God doth give to thee
The bracing air of hracn
The life so pure and free.
Throw every window open,
And tadncss will depart ;
The sky will smile upon you,
And beautify tho heart.
Let in the golden sunlight
When you are md with pain,
And bliss will come to cheer you,
Your heart will entile again;
The darkest clouds v. ill vanish,
Fair rainbows span the sky,
And sunless hours will leave you
When happiness is inch.
Then open wide the window,
And healthful vigor win
If you would be contented,
Just let the sunshine in.
Let in the cold en sunlight!
Its priceless wealth untold
Will bring you many pleasures,
And warm the heart that's cold
How many suffer anguish,
And paths of glo m pursue.
Who close Life's windows ever,
And keep no light in view,
But if they would be happy,
And priceless blessings win,
With life, and health end vigor,
Just let tho tunshine in.
WHAT WOMEN CAM DOI
It is only of late years that it lias bc
comocven permissible for them to have
any ambition other than, to "nirtlce
some good man a -wife," as a wnish
friend puts it. An aim or career in lifo
for her was not to bo thought of for an
instant nnd so many yet seem not to
have the one nor to know that they may
pursue tho other. Still less do they
realize the "ought" in tho matter, nor
consider that as they would despite a
brother who sat down at home and waited
for somebody to come along and marry
him, amusing himself mcanwhilo with a
littlo music, or "fancy work" wood-
carving, repousse work, painting or what
not so is a similar course on their part
likewiso despicable.
Usually it is not tho fault of the girls
at all, but of their parents, or education.
As soon as a boy gels out of skirts and
into knickerbockers his admiiing mam
ma and proud papa, as well as all the
rest of his friends and relatives, begin to
speculate on "what Tom is going to
mako?" If ho lilcos to amuse himself
by hacking tho furniture with his small
tools, or taking the clock to pieces "to
slice wheels go wound," then tho afore
said retinue of relathes, always eagerly
watching for indications of the budding
and burgeoning of future greatness,
decide that Tom will bo an inventor. If
he shows a fondness for dissecting flies,
mice and "other small deer," then Tom
is surely destinod to bo a surgeon, and
k on through all tho professions and
trades. Whatever Tom's predilection
may be, however, it is suro to be coddled
and encouraged, his toys and books
selected and his education conducted
with a view to tho desired end. Hut a
gill oh! well, a girl is always oxpeeted
to play with her dolls, keep her frock
clean, and that's about all. Nobody
trios to find out what she's good for.
Sho may liko tools as well as her brother,
but if ho takes his ho makes a row,
which is usually quelled by tho mother's
"My dear, those aro not nico play thiugb
for you. Don't bo a rudo little girl."
When such a girl grows up what is
(hero for her to do but drexs and visit
and gossip, and with no work to develop
lody and brain, grow weak and vapid at
last in both ways. Oh, fathers and moth
ers pray you watch Sifioas well as Tom,
and if sho shows indications of watiug
to. bo a doctor or a lawyer or an editor,
help and encourage licr as you do him.
Try- to assist her to finding an aim in life,
and let her bo something and do some
thing liko her brother. "Hut she will
"marry probably." Well, if so, there is
no loss, but rather so much tho hotter
for all conccrnod. "Careors" for women,
if they rooltitionizc tho homo relations
at nil, will chango things for good and
not for ovil. A woman with an in
dependent work in lifo will not marry
for a homo or because sho has nothing
elso to do, but because her lovo is strong
enough to dominato her ambition and
nil the rest of hor being.
Congress will adjourn as soon as the
Senate can paag appropriation bill.

CHOICE RECIPES.
Soft Soap for Kiosk Burns. A free
application of soft soap to a flesh burn
almost instantly removes the fire from
the flesh, acconling to a medical man
who had been burned repeatedly himeelf.
If the injury is voiy severe, as soon as
tho pain ceases apply linseed oil anil
then dust over with fine Hour. When
this last covoiing dries hard repeat tho
oil and Hour, dresin until n good coat
ing is obtained. When the hitter dries
allow it to stand until it cra"ks and falls
.off, as it will do in a day or two, and a
new skin will be found to have formed
where the skin was burned.
How to Preserve Eggs. Eggs may bo
preserved by covering them with a little
oil or butter, or with a thin coating ol
collodion dissolved in either; but the
most common method of pioservingthem
is by putting them, when quite fres-h.
into milk of lime, maue from recently
burnt lime, rejectfiig thoeo which do not
readily sink in the hrno wntr or which
are cracked. The preservative action i
no doubt due to the formation of carbon
ate of lime within the poies of tho shell,
whereby tho exclusion of atmospheric
oxygen is secured, borne time ago w lien
a sacristy was pulled down m Italy, eggs
quite fresh weie found embedded in the
mortar, which bad, perhaps, existed for
three hundred years. This proves the
antiseptic power of lime.
Baked Milk for Consumptives.
"Baked milk is an admirable food for
consumptive people and for most invalids.
It is made in this manner: Put a quart
of good milk into a stono jar; cover with
writing paper, tied down. Leavo in a
moderately hot oven for eight or ten
hours, till it has the consistenco ot cream.
The amount of nourishment to be dor.vo I
frrm it is marvellous." It most closely
resembles condensed milk, and does not
differ much from a milk-rico pudding,
tho rice being a nice and indigestible
addition. This reminds us to tay to
many anxious inquirers that tho perfect
cure for the most invelerato habit of
constipation is simply to live on wheaten
groats and any kind of fruit. Wo have
never known a case which ihis diet failed
to cure.
Telephones. To make a good and
serviceable telephone, good from one
farm house to another, only lequires
enough wire and two cigar boxe", and
make a holo about half an men in
diameter in the center of tho lxittom of
each, and then placo one in each of the
houses you wish to connect ; then get live
pounds of common iron stove pine wire
and mako a loop in one end, and put it
through tho holo of your cigar box and
fasten it with a nail ; and draw it tight
to tho other box, supporting it when
nccossary with a stout cord. Yon can
easily run your lino into the house by
boring n hole through tho glass. Sup
port your boxes with slats nailed across
tho window and your telephone is com
plete. Tho writer has one that is 200
yards long and costs forty-five cents, that
will carry music whon the organ is play
ed unity feet away inanothoroomr.
To Cure a Cold: Tlio following is a
cood rocino for a cold. One pint of
applo vinegar and three well-beaten eggs
and a quarter of a pound of w hite-sugar;
bottle for use. Uoto, three tablespoon fills
overv three hours or moro if necessary,
I have known this to euro two cases that
wore thought to bo consumptives.
To give starch a nico polish take white
gum arabic one ounce to a pint of water,
keep it in a bottle and pour in two or
three- table spoonsfuls in your starch.
Some ladies use salt and tallow, somo
coal oil, and somoa pioccof sperm candle.

OUR LETTER BOX.
This week we shall uso all tho letters,
and that will leave tho box entirely emp
ty. Only onco befoio has that hap
pened. Aunt Hetty had thought that
the wet rainy days we havo had for a
little time past would give a chance for
the little friends to remember the Home
Circle. But tho berries are too plonty ;
then tho cheny trees havo all been full
of fruit this year, and full of boys and
girls too ; tho robins havo had a feast too.
Wo love to watch them snatch tho cher
ries off and fly away with them to oat
in peaceful onjoyment. Wo must not
grudge thnm a share for they dig enough
of those bad grub worms that aro so de
structive this year, to pay for nil they
steal. Wo saw the robins feeding a nest
ful of littlo onos with grub worms a few
weeks ago. The nest was close by the
window, and thoso little birds kept
Mother Kobin at work all day. It was
wonderful to see tho number of times
sho flew to the nest with bugs and
and worms ; sometimes she would havo a
long anglo worm ; it was funny to soe
her pull ono out of tho ground, pulling
away for dear life, then flying up with it
curling about her head and feet. Wo
found a young littlcbumming biid dead
nftor the rain storm ; it was so small
not larger than a burublo bee; it had
bright feathers; we put it in a box with
somo cotton to keep it nico and sent it
to Prof. O. B. Johnson, at Seattle, W. T.
lie will probably stuff it and prepare it
to that it will bo an object of interei-t
and beauty. Any one finding any curi
ous bird or insect must send it to him if
possible, for the benofitof science.
Annie writes again after a long si
lence. Wo don't want our littlo friends
to forget us or tho lottcr box. There
are so many nico things to write about
when ono lives in tho country. Thero
aro the birds and animals, their curious
ways and intelligence; then thero are
friends to tell about, and tho mountain
camping trips, too, that can bo mado in
teresting for others to hoar about.
Ulysses sends a capital letter, which
all will read with interest. Ho camo
fiom good old Vermont, which is a long
way from Gardiner, Oregon. I guess
Ulysses will lie a ciedit to his name, and
wo should be glad to coino and claim re
lationship with a chance for a boat-ride
too, and a eight of a boar trap. The
skins ought to ho kept of (hone animals,
for they mako handsoino rugs; wo havo
a largo Bkin of u panther which covers
a largo rocking chair, making it the
handsomest and most comfortable one
in the houc. Wo want to hear fiom
our piotieer boy again.
I.oren seems to bo a brother of I 'lya
ses and to have plenty of enterprise and
pluck. Poll is lucky to have m good a
master, for wo ate ulwny suro an animal
has kind treatment when it shows intel
ligence or has cunning tricks. It would
bo bard for a cat to bo lost. Wo have
known of a cat being carried across a
river and then coming homo agnin, and
of their boing carried in a covered bas
ket for miles and would bo homo again
in a few hours. Somo peop!n think an
imals navn instinct that directs them to
wards home. Cats havo great locality,
they prefer to ulay where they aro
raised, oven if tho family move away.
No doubt Poll was glad to see Loron.
Wo forgot to speak of that littlo yoko of
ttccrs which Ulysr-cs drive about. A
well broken yoko of cattlo mako a goal
team, and aro not so difficult fo care for
tut a span of horses.
Tho uoyi) ate in the majority this time.
Hero comes another boy 'a letter, f'liarlio
has been silent for a long time, but it ia
better Into than never. Those turkey
will make plenty of work for tome onr
to tako care of; but turkeys do best to
let them choose their own nests and
raise better broods if let alone to hide
away as they choose. Tho littlo ones
aro more difficult to raise than chickens,
and will not bear much handling so if
possible let the old mother turkey nlono
to use her own judgment, only watching
that there is plonty of feed around when
she comes up to the honso. Dutch
cheese is good for thom with pepper in
it; some hard boiled egg mined in tho
feed for the little ones when first hatched
is most excellent. A few eggs used in
this way will pay better than to send off
to tho store. Thoso animal shows are a
benefit to children, but thoso circus
shows are not so good. It gives children
an idea of other countiics to sco animals
that come from abroad, and parents must
not refuse to let children go to a good
animal show.
After all we will Veep one letter back
for next week, so Amanda will see hers
then.
