| Show IT sphere by one of tho the sox sex W the food we eat after the dish of mush for breakfast comes usually a hot roll a slice of toast or a hot biscuit any scientist will tell you that hot breaden bread in any form has no business to go into the stomach of any human being but it does go and if people will have some kind of warm bread do see that they have that which is least harmful A piece of half brown or graham bread toasted with a meager amount of butter or better still a few spoonfuls of hot cream poured over it is better than most of the hot bread dishes if hot rolls must be had set a sponge of half white flour and half graham flour the night before mould slightly the next morning and with a little butter on the top and bottom of them set to rise about ten minutes and then bake evenly and quickly let these standa stand a few minutes before they are set upon the table and if they are not covered with butter in a melted state they will not be so indigestible as other hot rolls hot fine flour rolls or biscuit are really not fit for any ones stomach and will ruin the digestion of an ostrich if graham is used used there is some chance for the mass being penetrated by the gastric juice e which cannot occur in white aur au flour 0 pancakes are often used and if made of buckwheat are not hard to digest but I 1 enter my protest against the self rising buckwheat sold in pak pack ages for like all other breads raised with baking powder they require a stronger digestion than human beings possess if buckwheat is set in in a sponge over night just as you would set white flour sponge and then baked in pancake the next morning there will be small difficult ty in eating or digesting them one morning it is is well to make hot bread biscuit of your sponge and the next m morning or nin have either cream toast hot buk buckwheat w lt cakes or what is better than either some good old fashioned johnnycake this is made in the following way three fourths of a quart of corn com meal with one fourth quart of white flour sift into this an even t teaspoonful poon of soda measured after the easla so soda has been mashed and to this add a pint of buttermilk not too sour if the buttermilk is very sour add a little more soda some people add a couple of eggs and even a spoonful of molasses it if you cannot get sour milk or butter mil milouse mif kuse cream off tarter or bakin baking g powder w and sweet milk the hatter batter sho should uld be put into thin layers as the cake wants to be thin when baked the tins should be very well greased with butter graham gems used to be very popular and if well made are good you can use a sponge of the graham set over night or can make them according to the receipt given for johnny cake if your sour milk is very thick it takes a little more to wet up the batter if you use sweet milk it does not take quite so much as it does of the sour A little experience will easily show one just how to manage these things butter for these hot breads sh should ou id be used very sparingly sparingly for melted butter is next to in indigestible digesti le indeed it merel merely y pass passes es through the stomach stomach unaltered by the gastric juices honey is much better for us and genuine maple syrup is better than either if you can only get the genuine maple the clothes we wear except for street wear skirts and basques are not seen at all nearly all the house and party dresses are made upon a princess lining and the outside is modified to suit the taste if these linings are cut quite large enough and are not too heavily boned and are then worn without corsets there is little danger of any compression or restriction even the much admired empire styles are all made up by eastern dressmakers upon a close princess fitted lining soft materials are a necessity in the making up of these sho short rt wai full flowing yet clinging skirts A heavier stiff material would make such a dress very inartistic the fashion plates have more and more ore of the fanlike fan like effect at the bottom of the skirt and some women will feel blue over the apparent prospects in spite of what any one can say well if this american nation of women can go back to anything so unlovely and so silly as hoops atter alter the resolute and untiring ri n g labors of those bright women the dress reformers then my opinion of the american woman will fall considerably below zero A ruffle at the bottom of the skirt is becoming almost a necessity for the street or calling costume in this territory there are very few women who have haver more nore than three styles of dress the new and best dress which is a combination of the street and evening dress the second best which is the former best dress made and trimmed over and one good serviceable house or work dress I 1 would caution all women against the untidy habit of taking an old fine dress to wear about the kitchen nothing looks more dreary or slovenly than a grimy and shabby fine dress if n you cannot make over your worn out fine dress for your little girl and feel that you must use it up in the kitchen then let me beg of you to rip every scrap of trimming off sponge the skirt and if make up a plain basque out of the pieces left from the skirt trimming or get a bit of new cloth for a blouse or basque and let your dress come into the kitchen with the plainest of appearance as befits its use and present position there is another thing I 1 want to sa say y and I 1 am constrained to believe that it will apply more to the poor among us than the well to do when you have a best dress take it off the minute you enter your own door unless indeed you have a grand visitor who must be thus honored if you go to lo meeting in your best dress no matter if if the material of the dress be but cheap cashmere or homemade home made woolen if it is your fow best dress when you come home rom from meeting dont go to work to get dinner in it thinking it too much trouble to change it for your old one take the time change it and with a generous apron go on and get your dinner if it is s conference time and you want to go back ack to meeting it is only a minute to change your dress and the grease spot which might have lodged upon the front breadth of your new dress is not there because of your five minutes trouble I 1 have seen poor women wear their very best dress at the wash tub and then go to meeting in a wrapper because the best dress was all spotted up and the cheap wrapper 1 per ha happened ened to be new this is one ot of the things that helps to keep people always poor out our Child children rev my dear mother of a large family do you ever go to the primary association no I 1 thought you would say no do you ever go my sister without children no you do not go who does only the officers of that particular association now this is not as it should be we you and 1 I for I 1 am as faulty in this respect as any one could be ought to go to the primary association once in in a while if only to encourage the children and their faithful teachers I 1 have been to these associations indeed I 1 was once an officer myself and while I 1 labored in that capacity I 1 learned a great man many things I 1 learned one thing that wit with the very best intentions in the world the most of the officers in the society had not the least idea how to amuse or entertain children that is the ones with whom I 1 came in contact suppose you my dear sister are an officer in that association I 1 know what your heart would cry out oh let me be filled with wisdom tc to discharge my duties aright that is the one blessed heartfelt cry throughout zion oh let me as a mother as wife EM as officer of this or that association have race and wisdom given me that I 1 may my duties aright what a beautiful chorus to ascend into the ears of the lord of aoth it does ascendant ascend and it reaches and touches his mighty heart androu and you and I 1 will find that our paths will grow smoother and our hearts lighter as these new days come to us but there are some things to be lear learned jl and just now I 1 want to call all of my sisters who are also my dear friends laboring in the primary association to come and chat with me for a few minutes to you who have learned all the lessons of school and college I 1 am not now appealing it is to the good sister who has been called to her position from the kitchen and the house bouse duties there L is one word which if I 1 could I 1 would say sax to 10 you ou in in big enough tones to re main forever rever upon your heart I 1 would ask the printer to put these words in the bi biggest g est type he has only that would not heip help you perhaps to remember it but this one injunction is the one around which all others cling you must interest the children there is no way so certain so sure of success in this as in telling stories make up your mind that whatever principle you want to put before your little ones you will frame it in some kind of a story if you cannot think of one which has really happened make u up one what tell telf the children a story which is i s not true remember the es essence selice of truth is in the tErin principle ciple underlying the story n not ot in the e incidents or mere details of the story do you think the stories of the savior were all true to be sure they might well have been but I 1 am strongly of the opinion that he arranged his incidents to suit his own mind and to illustrate the moral which was to be taught here is your example you can do no better than to follow this illustrious example songs ten tell stories and so if we only understood them does every star and flower ever every y created form of life has its own beautiful and deeply interesting story let children fi find nd out the morals themselves dont be too anxious to point them out if the moral exists it will teach its own lesson lessor then ask questions all the time every very few moments ask questions in the midst of your story stop and ask questions these Thes etwo two rules must form your whole lesson tell a story and ask plenty of questions god bless you then and go ahead our ailments COLDS of all the ills that flesh is heir to the most common and the least understood is a cold it if you yo meet a person on the street at this time of year and neither he nor any of his family is afflicted with a cold you may set it down that he is either too sensible or too boor poor to clog up the stomach with bad and in digesti ble food I 1 am quite 1111 aware that most people imagine a cold is caused by a draught or by wet feet it reminds me of the story told by pres jos F smith he met an old lady who was hobbling alone lon the street and asked after her health she replied that she was very bad with the rheumatics ah yes said the gentleman the rheumatism is very bad so it is so it is said the old lady shaking her head bead but rheumatics is worse thus with with so many people if they have sat for hours in in a closed closed meeting tousand house or at home with a dozen or at a thousand foul breaths contaminating the shut in air and then if one breath of pure air strikes them on the chest they are quite ready to exclaim the foul air is bad but the pure draught is worse I 1 wonder when our people will accept the teach ggs of such men as dr seymour B young youn dr heber heber john richards dr Tal talmae TaK mje nage dr taylor dr R B pratt avd other sand will learn to breathe pure air ah and give their stomachs as much dance chance as needful to digest the unhealthful quantities of food forced into them by we silly mortals well but suppose you have the cold then I 1 can say nothing better than I 1 said mid some oine weeks ago fast for one day take two or three injections of warm water drink nothing but pure water wate r whether cool or warm and rest your cold or your childrens will soon disappear it if the children need P physic b g give ive them a little senna or a homemade home made macie pill it if you must give medicine cine there is is nothing better than hot lemon water either for for a cold or a cough try it drink two or three lemons through the day in ag a glass lassof of hot water A dessert spoonful of charcoal and a thorough injection of warm water several hours atter after is good I 1 heard beard pres geo Q cannon say that he was subject to periodical headaches and that abat you know is of much the same nature as these so called colds he said aid he always kept a bit of dried wormwood in his pocket and whenever he felt the least symptom of headache he took a glass of cold water mind cold water sprinkled a littleox litt leof the dried herb on it enough to cover the top of the glass covered it and after it had stood some hours he drank the tea thus formed this was all he usually needed in the way of medicine there is one young and highly vigorous man of in my acquaintance who does daily the work oi of three leq men and whose beautiful complexion is a marvel of white and pink ink purity I 1 once asked him how he dept kept so well he never staid away from his office for sickness not even when the grip was around oh he said he tried to keep the word of wisdom this consisted in eating even in in the winter season very little meat little or no pastry and from a seven breakfast to a seven dinner he ate but an apple or an orange if he wanted to fast he took twenty four or forty eight hours for it he took daily baths in cold water ancl regular exercise in the open air no wonder monder he is handsome physically and vigorous mentally physical culture among the nations which have made the study of physical culture of first importance the germans may be said to rank first the common school is called the gymnasium and no studies are taken without accompanying exercises of some sort they have apparatus indeed most all our vaulting and leaping e exercises excises come from this nation li light g lit weights are used and wands for special work A great portion of their work consists that is is the class work in dancing steps these with wand and light dumb bells form the class work all ot of these exercises are done to ryth bryth mic music and nothing could be e prettier than a large class performing these graceful and intricate movements bars and horses form much of their heavy and special work here men aprin sprin spring jump climb swing and perform with a all I 1 the strength and grace possible here ere is where much of our trapeze P performances ifor originate although the japanese likewise have this art carried to perfection fec tion the german asserts that strength is not the principal aim of physical culture but grace an agility he discards the precise and clockwork movements of the swede and is ha happy in the results he generally attains E expression except the general expression of graceful movements is unknown to him and unknown to him also is the lighter and more ethereal grace of his neighbor the frenchman the french so long the exponents of emotion by expression have at last reduced their arbri tary teachings to an exact science this has been done through the studies and inspiration of one man whose name was delsarte he asserted that men and women had been corrupted from the highest and purest forms of expression as understood by the ancient greeks and he spent his whole life in studying the principles of the lost science it is not the uncultivated and unthinking savage who can express the h high iad h and holy emotions of pure passion an and pure devotion but the savage can best express the emotions which betray his own untutored nature to the haunts of poverty and vice to the salons ot of the cultured and elegant went this man in his attempt to find what had been so long lost the emotions ol of love of fear of hatred of anger and of de despair s pair were studied through their ablest exponents and the secrets of unrepressed nature were gradually unfolded to this student like froebel in another line of study his work was marvellous |
