Combatlreness
Domestic contusion, even in the best
rtgulated families, may be confidently ex
pected when the parents go out and leaye
the elder child, or children, to take care of
the younger. To quote the expression of
an American humorist, the question arises,
Why is this thus?" Why does rebellion
almost universally arise against the dele
gated authority of the eldest son or daugh
ter who is appointed for the time ' head
of the house." Is it entirely owing to the
innate combatireness of the younger fry?
or is it not rather quite as much the con
sequence of the disagreeable manner in
which the older assert their reign? If the
absent parents could only see the airs
which their juvenile lieutenants put on,
and hear the tone in which they command
or prohibit, threaten or denounce, cer
tainly the younger "rebels" would not be
Warned Hnaualifledl v. They usually have
some reason in their resistance. And next
comes the Question, where and how do
children learn to " domineer" and lord it
over those who are momently put in their
charge? Where did they acquire the tone
and the manner which would be ridicu
lous if they were not hateful t What copy
do they follow and exagerate? Children
are universally imitators. And it may
reasonably be suspected that many of
them do not require to go from home to
learn how to make the assertion of au
thority disagreeable. Children cannot be
exDected to understand the force of power
when exerted with gentleness of
manner. But their elders might
be supposed, having graduated
from childhood and advanced to the
relation of parents, to know enough of
both conditions to comprehend the bear
ing of each. Yet it is wonderful how lit
tle practical use is made, in after years, of
the experiences of childhood, much ate
toets and sentimentalists like to talk of
childhood's memories." What people
usually remember is not very definite,
neither is it alwavs very pleasant. .Viewed
rom the child's side, there is a great deal
of injustice done to -children. Would
it not be well for parents sometimes to
try to recall what was the reason why, as
children, they were, if not disobedient,
at least ungracious? Firmness is indis
pensable but even the rocks are covered
with moss. And since firmness is so
necessary, it is the part of wisdom not to
seek or invent unnecessary causes for its
exhibition, or to make issues when they
can be avoided. In other words, there
is prudence in leaving some minor mat
ters entirely to the choice and free action
of the children themselves. Those who
are followed by continued injunctions, as
if they had no mind and discretion of
their own, are weakened rather than
strengthened by constant watching. They
are so persistently led that they cannot
walk alone, except by starting off in some
erratic direction which is all the mote
enjoyable because it has not been
recommended by authority. And if only
it has a flavor of presumed disobedience
the average human infant finds that fla
vor pleasant and piquant rather than oth
erwise. Whoever has authority to exert.
whether that of a parent over children, a
teacher over pupils, or an official over
men, will meet deference and cheerful
compliance if he has the tact to rule
without parading his authority in an of-
iensive manner! cases sometimes arise
when only rude force will answer. Bu
these instances are exceptional ; and the
man or woman ot quiet, calm demeanor
will generally accomplish much more
than the person of opposite character. Def
erence to pleasantly-exerted authority
requires no sacrifice of independence.
Children who rebel against each other,
in the case supposed above, are only re
hearsing the parts they may perform when

school room and the nursery foreshadow

costs nothing, is worth everything.

Ah!
The "independent" newspapers have
been tremendously sold. When the news
of the Arkansas troubles first came, it was
understood that Brooks, who took pos
session of the Governor's office by force,
was a rebel and a deadly enemy of the
colored people and of the President. This
not from any late or private information,
but on general principles, it being under
stood that he was the Liberal candidate
for Governor, while Baxter ran on the
Republican ticket.- Thereupon a shout
was made for Brooks. He had been de
prived of his office by fraud. " It is ad
mitted on all sides," said one of these un
prejudiced journals, " that, if a fair count
of the votes had been had, Brooks would
have been elected by a handsome majori
ty, and perhaps this has something to do
with the satisfaction expressed by so
large a portion of the citizen at the amp
d' etat of Brooks!" This was
the language of an " independ
ent" journal on Friday. But by
later dispatches it was discovered that
Brooks was friendly to the colored people
and the President, and that, although he
had run as a Greeley man, he was not dis
tasteful to the great body of Republicans.
Thereupon this "independent" newspa
per discourses as follows in its Satur
day's issue-. "Brooks, once the choice of
tho people, is so no longer. lie is
the choice of the Senegambians and carpet-baggers."
"Mr. Grant, with
the decree of the Arkansas Circuit Court
in his pocket," will " enforce the decision
of the courts, and, as a necessary conse
quence, sustain his ancient carpet-bag an
tagonist and his present carpet-bag hench
man, Brooks, upon the throne of Arkan
iat." There is both stability and consis
tency for you! What could more striking
ly portray the power of the " independent"
press than these two selections. On Fri
day that feathery weapon was seized, and
it wrote down Brooks as the choice of
the people. On Saturday " Brooks, once
the choice ot the people," was so " no
longer." All this in the short space of
twenty-four hours! The voice of the
State of Arkansas is changed by a clever
journalist in a day, and what the people
said was white on Friday was most un
mistakably black on Saturday. More:
On Friday great "satisfaction was ex
pressed by a large portion of the citizens"
at Brooks' success. On Saturday there
were none but the " iSenegambians and
carpetbaggers" to do him honor! Be

Sweden by Candle-Light.
The Swedish summer is very short, and
the year has hardly any spring or autumn.
Jiut the summer days are verv long, and
the sun, after setting, sinks only a few de
grees under the horizon, filling the whole
space during the night with a mystical
luminousness which makes even the pig
sty romantic. At midnight you can walk
in the garden and read a letter from your
mother. And how singular the letter is?
Every word in it has a new meaning and
so has every object around you. The street,
the houses, the old church, the river, the
hills all look so strange, and yet they all
look as if you had never before seen their
true shape and never betore understood
their true meaning. The houses do not
press the ground with their weight; they
float in the air like pictures. The river
does not push its waves forth through
melancholy fall from one pebble to
another; it only turns its hands rapidly

Swedenborg's idea of spiritual bodies was
by no means a grotesque notion. It was
one of the most natural and most beautiful
illusions the human imagination ever gave
birth to. It was a genuine child of the
Swedish summer night. The clattering
and the hammering and all the noises of
the town are asleep. The splash of the
water falling down the cataract in the
birch wood is transformed into a sweet
melody, whose subdued notes swing in
the air, now sounding near to 3'our ear
and now echoing far off. But this, as all
individual sounds, the chirping of the
insect in the trees, the clap of your steps
on the rocky path, the crackling of the
paper in your hand, is soon hushed by
the deep stillness which from the terrace
with the lonely lake and the somber pine
forests draws nearer and nearer till it
covers all the world with silence. Only
one individual sound can be distinguished,
one single drip of water falling into a
silver basin, one single note struck on the
deepest string of an instrument. It is the
echo of the first cataract, a hundred miles
distant, far off among the mountains.
Distance seems here merged into infinity
and time into eternity. Clemens Petersen,

The Royal Road to Marriage.
Here is a good story which has not
yet found ita way into print, but for the
truth of which I can vouch. Lord George
Gordon, a young man of four-and-twenty,
wishing to marry a certain young lady,
went quite recently to ask the permission
of his lather, the Duke of Argyle. The
Duke, a pompous little man, replied in
effect, "My son, since our house has been
honored by being united with the Royal
family, I have thought it right to delegate
a decision on all such matters to your
elder brother, the Marquis of Lome. Go,
therefore, and consult him." The Marquis
of Lorne, on being applied to, said : " My
dear brother, in a case of importance like
this I should think it right to ask the
decision of the Queen, the head of the
Royal family, into which I have married."
The Queen, on the matter being laid be
fore her, declared that since her terrible
bereavement she had been in the habit of
taking no steps without consulting the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg, the brother ot her
deceased husband. To the Duke, then,
tne matter was relerred, and from him a
letter was received, telling his dear sister-in-law
that recent political events had in
duced him to do nothing, even as to the
giving advice, without the express con
currence of the Emperor William, before
whom he had laid the matter. The
Emperor William wrote a long letter, de
claring that though he was surrounded
by counselors there was only one who
had on all occasions proved himself cor
rect, loyal and faithful, and without whose
advice he (the -Lmperor) would give no
decision. Therefore he had referred the
matter to his faithful Minister, Prince
Bismarck.
And it is narrated that when Prince
Bismarck was made acquainted with the
subject he roared out, "Good Heavens,
what a fuss about nothing! Let the boy
marry whom he pleases, so long as she is
young and pretty." London Cor. N. Y.

water on the oils, then add four gallons
of cold water, three pints of molasses
and one pint of yeast. Let it stand for

Custard Omelet. Two cups of milk,
one tablespoonlul or butter, lour eggs.
Put the butter and milk in a pan and
whilst it is heatine beat up the eggs.
When the milk is hot stir in the eggs ;
keep stirring till it thickens, and send it
to the table immediately. Try it; it is
delicious.
Boiled Icing. Beat the whites of
four eggs to a stiff froth ; boil to a thick
syrup one pound of white sugar in one
teacup of water; when nearly cold beat

To Cleanse Tapestry Carpets. Beat
and sweep them thoroughly, remove all
crease spots with ox-gall mixed with
water, put on with a scrubbing Drusn
then wipe the whole carpet with a mop
or cloth wrune from a weak solution of
ox-gall in warm water. This removes the
dust and brightens all the colors.
Cocoanut Cake and Icing. One
cup of butter, three of sugar, one of sour
milk, lour ot nour, one tcaspooniui 01
soda, two of cream tartar, five eggs, one
cocoanut grated ; put half in the dough
and half for the icing. For icing use
half a pound of pulverized sugar to
whitesoftwo eggs; sprinkle the cocoa-
nut over the top of the cake.
Cold Custard. Take one-tourta ot a
calPs rennet, wash it well, cut it in
pieces and put it into a decanter with a
pint of jrrape wine. In a day or two it
will be lit for use. To one pint of "milk
add a teaspoonful of the wine. Sweeten
the milk and flavor it with vanilla, rose
water or lemon. Warm it a little and add
the wine, stirring it slightly. Pour it im
mediately into cups or glasses, and in a
few minutes it will become a custard. It
makes a firmer curd to put in the wine,
omitting the sugar. It may be eaten
with sugar and cream.
Stewed Rhubarb. Wash and peel
the rhubarb stems and cut into pieces not
far from three-fourths of an inch square
Place in a porcelain-lmed sauce
pan, and fill the pan nearly
full of cold water. Let it boil up
once, and then drain off the water and
set it aside. Then put in water again
enough to nearly fill .the pan and
stew until the rhubarb is tender. Sweeten
to the taste and serve warm or cold for
breakfast, dinner or supper. Rhubarb
stewed in this manner requires less sugar
than if the first water were not turned on,
and it will be quite tart enough to be
agreeable.
A preliminary examination of coffee
for admixture is best made by gently
strewing the powder upon the surface of
cold water. The oil contained in coffee
prevents the particles from being readily
netted by the water, thus causing them
to float. Chicory, burnt sugar, etc. , con
tain no oil, and tneir caramel is very
quickly extracted by the water, with pro
duction of a brown color, while the
particles themselves rapidly sink to the
bottom of the water. On stirring the
liquid, coffee becomes tolerably uniform
ly diffused without sensibly coloring the
water, while chicory and other sweet roots
quickly give a dark brown, turbid infus
ion. Roasted cereals do not give so dis
tinct a color.
Grassing a Slope. A steep slope may
be grassed over without sodding by first
smoothing the surface and then mixing a
tougn paste or mortar ot clay, loam, and
horse manure with sufficient water. The
erass seed, which should be a mixture of
Kentucky blue grass and white clover,
should be thickly but evenly scattered up
on the moist surface of this plaster as it is
spread upon the bank. The plaster should
oe at least one or two inches thick, anrt a
thin layer should be laid over the seed. The
surface should be kept moist, and a light
dressing 01 some active fertilizer would
help the growth. In a lew weeks the
growing erass should be cut, and should
be kept short at all times until a thick
sod is formed. Keystone, in JV. Y. Trib

How is compressed yeast made? One
mode of preparation is a3 follows : Pre
viously malted barley and rye are ground

temperature of 65 to 75; after a few
hours the saccharine liquid is decanted
from the drugs, and the clear liquid
brought into a state of fermentation by
the aid of seme yeast. The fermentation
becomes very strong, and by the force of
the carbonic acid which is evolved the
yeast globules are carried to the surface
ot the liquid, and, forming a thick scum.

and rubbish that the view into the interior
was nearly shut out, so I removed them
with the purpose of cleaning them, leav

safe. On replacing the glass, since many
ants were running over the perpendicular

the fingers ot the machine, and they have
this advantage over the human hand, that
they have a finger for every note. The
top of the machine is about one foot in

Fires on Farms.
Putting a lock on the stable door after
the horse is stolen has been practiced so
long that it finds a place in the catalogue
of wise old sayings. Getting a fire engine
after the village has burned up is another
quite common practice. As only children
once burned fear fire, so, as a rule, only
those who have been burned out once
prepare safeguards against fires, or have
any conveniences in ease of emergency.
Owing to the care of farmers and the fact
that they ordinarily own the houses they
live in, fewer fires originate in farm
buildings than in those situated in towns.
Still the number of instances where the
fire makes a clean sweep is much greater
in the cotmtry than in the city. This is
due to the fact that from the nature of
things a public fire department cannot
be maintained in the country, and to the
additional fact that there are few or
no private facilities for putting out fires.
1 ne instances are rare where there are
ladders that can reach the roof of the
house, or any that can be adjusted to the
roof, over which water can be carried.
Few farm houses are supplied with chem
ical fire extinguishers, hose or force
pump. The instances are rare where
there is a suitable supply of buckets in
which to carry sufficient water to extin'
guish even an incipient fire. The supply
of water is often at an inconvenient dis
tance, having to be drawn from a deep
well or dipped from a spring. In other
cases it is inconveniently near the burn
ing building, in a cistern under or beside
it, so that the heat of the fire will prevent
approach. It is not wonderful then that
a fire once started increases till the build
ing and its contents are consumed. An
other unfavorable circumstance is, that
during a large portion of the year the
' men folks" are liable to be away from
the house at work in the field, and no one
at home but women and children.

Bronchitis.
This is an irritation or inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. Itarises Troma cold settled in
the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from se
vere use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the larynx and
glottis, which are the organs of the voice, and,
extending downward, produces hoarseness
coughing and spitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. It is chiefly danger
ous from its tendency to spread into the lungs
and terminate in consumption. It is in the
cure of severe and obstinate ca-es of this diS'
case that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
cry has achieved unparalleled success and
won the loudest praise from all who hare
used it.

A Word in Season. Health is a bless

its fullness. 1 hose endowed by nature
with robust frames and vigorous consti
tutions should be careful not to trifle with
them.
Wrhen we enter the seasons of periodic
fevers the increased heat of the sun de-
velopes a miasma which pervades the air.
The evil is inextinguishable; our duty to
guard against it is imperative! fortu

provides a cure and preventive. DR.
Walker's California Vinegar Bit
ters are endowed with rare prophylactic
or disease-preventing powers, and, as "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure," should be taken in the full vigor
of health, so as to fortify the system
against the assault of summer disease, and
thus secure, by their life-giving, strengthen
ing, restorative and antiseptic virtues, a
defense against atmospJieric poison. 38

plain case of old-fashioned drunk."
