Duty of Children to Parents Father Stapleton has well statol the duties of children towards their Parents in the following words ' There are few things more evident to natural reason than the obligation children are under to assist their parents when necessity knocas at their door, and finding their unable to meet its harsh demands, preswith the goad of misery ses them and want. Cld age is weak and has to lean on strength and youth for support ; like childhood, it is helpAccidentally misfortune may less. render a parent dependent and needy. In such contingencies, it is not for neighbours, friends or relatives to come in and lend a helping hand ; this duty devolves on the offsPriug, on them first and them alone. " Charity' is not alone to prescribe this office of piety. A stronger law than charity. has a claim in the matter, and this is the law of justice. Justice demands a " quid pro quo," it exacts a just compensation for services rendered. Even though there be no agreement between parents and offsPring, and the former gave without a thought of return, nature re:

Not even engagements contracted before God hold against the duty of relieving parental distress and want, for vows are of counsel end must yield to the dictates of natural and divine law. o Of course the gravity of this obligation is proportionate to tile stress of necessity under which parents labour. To c oistitute a mortal it is not necessary sin of neglect, that a Parent be in the extreme of Privation and beggary. It is not easy to dray the line between slight and grievous offending in this matter, hot if some young men and oonsen examined their conscience as carefully as their new spring suits would find material and hats, for confession the avowal of which might be necessary to confessional integrity'. " It has become the fashion with certain of the rising generation, after 'draining the family exchequer for some sixteen or eighteen years, to emancipate themselves as soon as their wages cover the cost of li"inz with a little surplus. The., nay they their hoard, that is to say, stand towards their parents as stranger would, and forgetting the debt their younger years have piles. up against them. they hand over a miserable pittance just enough to cover the expenses of bed and board. This might, and possibly does, make them 'feel big,' but that feeling is a false one, and the 'bigness ' experienced is certainly not in their moral worth ; in many cases such conduct is a Prevarication against the law of This applies with equal force God. :
to young women whose vanity overrides the claims of charity and justice, and who are said to 'put all their earnings on their backs,' while eat the bread that another they earns. " Frequentl., children leave home and leave all their obligations to their parents behind them at home. Their letters are rare, enclosed :Aleques are rarer. They like to keep the old folks informed of the fact that it costs a good deal to live away from home. They sometimes come home on a visit ; hut these are Visits and visitors, even if they do stay quite a while, do not Pay hoard.

Broiling Fowl To broil fowl for the sick, which is considered one of the lightest and most digestible modes of dressing, it must be cut in halves-divided down the middle-some butter rubbed upon it, and a little Pepper, but the salt is not to be Pot on until it has been turned for the last time. The inner side must be first done, which glove the upper to heat thoroughly it is then turned, a little salt sprinkled over it, and in a few minutes it is cooked. The gridiron ought to be well rubbed with lard or dripping before the fowl is put on. Some prefer half roasting the fowl first, in which case it ought first to be cut in qoarters, then, roasted, then broiled. If a young chicken, it must not he roasted, hut altogether done on the broiling -iron. ;

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. The office boo was doing
it grand,
tilted back in a chair, with his feet crossed on the editor's table, and rolling a large cigarette in his mouth with evident joy and satisfaction, when a florid faced commercial tra-
veller bustled in, and asked " Is the Proprietor in ? " The boy took no notice of him. " I say, boy, did you hear what I say, is the proprietor in ? " Whereupon the boy, looking at him with a contemptuous look went on smoking. " Are you deaf and dumb, or what is the matter with you ? " thundered the traveller, now thoroughly irritated. " Is the Boss in ? " The boy, answered in a contemptuous manner " I can hear you all right, but I ask you, now, does it look like it ? " :
