a girl has as much right to a clean,
moral husband as a man has to a
pure wife. If I were a woman I would
marry such a man or remain single all
my life. Women complain that they
are classed with idiots, lunatics and
criminals in the matter of civic rights,
but it is very much their fault that
they are not more highly esteemed.
They do not command proper respect
for their good sense and judgment—
that is, the majority do not. But
look out, men! They are fast realiz
ing their worth to the community, and
they will all eventually demand their
rights and get them.”
These ideas coincide with mine ex
actly.

A SWEET WOMAN.
There is a young woman in our town
who is*a model of sweet womanhood.
She is pretty and graceful, with eyes
gray as an April cloud and soft hair
of chestnut brown. Her pure white
brow is never disfigured by a frown
Her daily duties are not a few, but
she performs them with such ease and
cheerfulness that you forget they are
work.
Though the day be dark and dreary,
she keeps a smile close behind her
red lips, and every now and then, it
breaks out like spring sunshine. Her
home is on a farm, and she dearly
likes to see the growing and the har
vesting of the farm products—and the
cattle in the pastures. She is a helper
there and also in the village store
which belongs to her “folks.” When
she is needed there she is an efficient
and gracious saleswoman, understand
ing weights and measures as if train
ed to this work. She has beautiful
gifts. She writes well and has often
written for publication; she sings
sweetly and plays with skill and grace.
She is social in her tastes and draws
friends about her; though she is far too
busy in her home to give much of
her time to social enjoyment.
Now, friends, would you not like to
have in your home so sweet a com
rade and helper as this? I assure you
it is a great happiness.

RACE SUICIDE.
How is the race to be improved if
our best, naturally conscientious peo
ple commit race suicide? Should not
we, the women of this our glorious
country meet our problems in a more
courageous, womanly spirit? Until our
girls are taught the responsibility of
married life before, not after, mar
riage, there will be plenty for the di
vorce courts to do—for without a pro
per knowledge, how can they be as
sisted by their reason in making a
choice? And, more important, until
our boys are taught right principles
and above all, a sacred regard for all
the powers God has given them, and
their mission as fathers of the com
ing generation, by their mother, in
stead of by some thoughtless crowd
of men and chance evil companions,
we will have the white slave traffic,
not only among the lower classes and
foreign element, but invading what
would be the cream of society. We
mothers must realize our responsibil
ity, trying always to remember that
great fact in psychology, that “tracks
made on the brain can never be en
tirely erased,” and we must see that
the right tracks in our children’s
brains are the deepest; therefore, rule
their lives. I agree that in this age
children must have a good education
and people should have no larger
family than they can properly sup
port and educate, notwithstanding the
world’s greatest have sprung almost
invariably from some poor family.
But a man or woman has tasted but
half of life who has not assumed the
sacred duty of parenthood and those
who have a sense of right and a desire
to improve conditions should be par
ents and study to be the best of par
ents, that in the generations to come
all these evils may be wiped out by
the preponderance of good.

SOME CAKE HINTS.
As round layer cakes do not cut well,
it is best to bake in square tins. A
sponge cake tin, 8 by 4 inches, is a
good one for a small cake. If a larger
cake is wanted use a common baking
.tin and cut the cake in two pieces to
form the two layers. If the sides are
iced the cut edges will not show. If
cake tins are floured instead of greas
ed they will never get the rancid odor
that is sometimes so objectionable
when tins have been used for some
time. The tins with separate bot
toms are especially nice, as they leave
no possibility of sticking and torn
cakes. A thin knife is run around
the sides of the cake when it is taken
from the oven and it is then set on a
bowl or other dish and the side rim of
the tin pressed down away from the
cake. After cooling the knife may be
run between the cake and the tin bot
tom, if necessary. Cake tins should
be carefully washed in warm Pearline
suds and a small brush used to clean
the corners, then rinsed in clear, hot
water and dried on a clean towel.
Nothing is more disgusting than cake
or baking tins with bits of the cake
clinging to the inside after they have
been put through the dish pan and are
said to be washed. One cannot avoid
thinking of the dirty dish water that
has soaked into those bits of cake
and been dried to flavor the next cake.
Ugh! Do wash the cake tins clean
next time or see that the servant does
it properly. R. E. M.

A REFINED HOME.
It is, of course, impossible for farm
ers and working men to make them
selves and the homes as neat and
orderly and elegant as the homes of
those who are rich and have nothing
to do but to spend their money, but
this is no reason why any home should
lack in the essentials of true refine
ment. Neatness and orderliness are
the first requirements for a refined
home and with these present what
ever else may be lacking any home
will have some degree of refinement.
If to these can be added books and
papers and the right kind of hospital
ity the refining elements of the home
are largely increased. The right kind
of a home is not only refined itself,
but is refining in its influence upon
the inmates and he is a brute who will
not yield to the refining influence of
a good home. For the entire house
hold there should be provided facil
ities for personal cleanliness which
should include both the inner and out
er man and all of the necessary neces
sities of refined manners and appear
ance can be provided in the average
home just as effectively as in the
homes of the rich—Wesleyan Meth
odist.
CONSOMME FOR FAMILY USE.

any portion of roasted fowl, two
pounds of lean veal, some roast beef
bones and two pounds of soup beef,

Boil slowly, skim well, add a carrot,
a turnip, two leeks, an onion and half
a turnip. Cover closely and let sim
mer for hours, then remove all fat
and strain through a wet cloth.
