Patience in Friendship.


No, no, cannot take your offered hand.
l watch your eyes, and cannot understand
Why those sweet eyes agree with mine no more
As they have always seemed TO do before.
Our ways are separate now: You turned aside
We both have listened 10 the voice Of PRIDE
1t was heavy cloud that brought us this:
All, what a brittle thing friendship is!
Many glad and young and sunny year,
Fun OF friendship, holding naught of fear,
Have we been close companions but we may
Perchance each find u truer friend some day.
Yet shall miss your little gentle face,
Your ways and words so fun of Unborn grace
Your hand so strong 10 grasp, so soft to soothe--
Your voice with tones rich and low and smooth.
Thanks, thanks for all the comfort you have given
10 sweet, II seemed 10 come direct from heaven.
Hard Is i to believe that you are wrong,
whom have always thought so pure and strong.
! cannot be impatient oh, I would
BE very, very angry If / could
You grieye? With tears your lovely ewes are wet
IL breaks my heart to say goodbye, and yet
Dear give me once again your little hand:
trust you, though l cannot understand
Yes, you are free TO 60 your way, my friend,
And will trust and love you TO the end.

How TO Cook PoTAroEs. Care
should be taken to select from the
bins all alike in size, being sure to
allow them Just sufficient time to be-
come nicely crisp and brown at the
hour the remainder of the dinner is
ready. They should not be allowed in
the open oven one moment after
done, there to shrink, as if pro-
testing against delay; neither to be
sent To the table to wait five or ten
minutes the movements of some tardy
husband and children. Mashed pota-
toes, that are nicely pared, boiled and
dried, seasoned richly with salt, cream,
or milk and butter, are always good,
always nice, if smoothed down into the
dish with care, and prettily spotted with
pepper. The mashed potatoes left from
dinner makes fancy dish for break
fast, by making into little cakes or
patties, with the hand, and frying
brown in dripping or butter. The but
ter should be hot when the cakes are
put in.
The boiled potatoes, left from yester-
days dinner, are very good chopped
fine and warmed for breakfast in good
milk and butter with salt and pepper.
When you are boiling your tea-kettle
tonight you can boil half dozen good
sized potatoes, and when cold slice them
the long way, something less than a
quarter of an inch in thickness. In
the morning lay them one 10y one on
the griddle, TO slowly toast or brown in
good butter or fat, sailing them care
fully and evenly, after placing them in
a covered dish. Gentlemen always like
these with their coffee; and these or
the potato balls, are an addition TO the
tea-table when gentlemen are present.
Still another way 10 fry ls To pare the
potato round and round, like an apple,
until all is used. cooking slowly and
evenly in a covered "spider," until
brown.
In the spring, when the potatoes are
poor, difficulty is experienced in pre-
pairing them To relish, Pare and cnt
them half an inch in thickness, putting
10 boil in salt water until tender; then
pour off the water and put on cream,
good milk, seasoning and thickenlng
carefully with only little flour. For
those who have no milk, fresh boiling
water can be used with nearly AZ good
result.

soil by long continued growth and bear

and nearly fifty more trees, about the

The Correct Length of whimctrees.

A horse cannot draw as well with a
whiffietree twelve feet long as with one
two feet six inches in length, because
the line of draught is not in the proper
direction to be most effective. Nor can
two horses harnessed abreast draw well
with whifiletrees ten feet long, while
their heads are coupled close together,
because they must travel sideways more
or less, in which position no animal can
exert all his strength to the best advan-
tage in drawing load.
Horses draw best with the double
whiffletree just long enough to allow
them to stand close TO each other, hav-
ing the single whiffletrees attached
directly behind them, and just long
enough to meet in the middle When
the doubletree is very long, each horse
must draw more or less sideways if the
coupling lines and the neck-yoke are
not made long enough to allow them to
move directly forward without having
their heads turned toward each other.
In order to determine the correct length
of whiffletrees, let two horses stand side
byside with theirsides three inchesapsrt;
NIC CtllbiC Vi OHt
horse to the other on their backs. This
will give the length for a neck yoke, and
the correct length for the double Whit
fetree between the joints where the
single-trees are to be attached. When
a neck-yoke is only eighteen inches
long, and the double-tree OF the proper
length, horses will be required to move
more or less sideways. For the same
reason oxen often get in the habit of
hauling sideways, because the yoke is
too short. Neither oxen nor horses can
travel easily and freely when their heads
are turned toward and their butts from
each other.
Whiffietrees for blowing should be as
short as they can be made, without
bringing the traces against the legs of
the team. A very long double whiffie-
tree tends to make pillow take too wide
a furrow slice. If the clevis be adjusted
to take narrow furrow slice-when the
double-tree is too long-the pillow will
not run at all satisfactorily. The horse
in the furrow will not be able to walk
squarely in his place, because the line
of draught is such as to keep crowding
his hind feet out of the furrow ON the
plowed ground. The length of the
double whiffletree and the neck-yeke for
sleigh should be just as long as the
sleigh is wide from the centre of one
runner to the other.

edge, stitch a narrow bias band of Irons
dale cambria entirely around the cap.
This is designed TO hold the rubber
cord which draws the cap into shape
and size to fit the head. The edge may
be prettily finished by sewing ON a mar
row cotton trimming or lace, or it can
be hound with the cambria instead.
After inserting a rubberco between
the bias band and Chambrey and draw
ing 1t TO the size IF her head, the cap
ls completed by placing a tiny bow of
ribbon upon the left side in front, and
another with streamers at the back.
