Getting Ready for Winter.

The first nipping frost which brings the
red to the children's cheeks and sends them
trooping to the kitchen FIRE in the early
morning brings many al anxious thought to
the hearts Of mothers with scanty means.
Wherewitha shall the little ones be clothed,
is the serious question. Before tho cold
weather fairly sets in is the time to overhaul
all the family resources in the way Of WOODEN
goods, and see what can be made available
for another season. Begin on the inside
first. am aware that this is the reverse
of the common practice. The winters hat
and coat aud overskirt and Aounced skirt are
generally considered the first essentials, but
the wise mother will pursue n different course
If the children are we'll fortified with warm
uuder.Aannels and wooden stockings, aud

Pretty hats with wavy feathers are very
nice in their order, but If they must be had
at the sacrifice Of substantial comfort, they
are poor exchange.
Taking Inventory.
To begin with, it is good plan to bring
out all the old stores Of old flannel and knit
goods, and lay them together. Even the

There is certain class Of people in this
world who are ever weary of work, weary of
Of life, and weary Of themselves. To such
each day is but another link in the long
chain Of human misery, and each word goes
to swell the thousand despairing notes Of
earthly sorrow. They are uneasy and dis
satisfied, aud spend their whole lives in the
gloomy valleys and among the dark shadows
Of unbelief doubt and dlstrust. There is
another class Of people whose lives are lives
of action and reality. Life to them is one
perpetual summertime Of JOY. Each day
is golden step leading onward and upward,
and each word note Of harmony in the
grand chords of earthly love.

steaming Food.

There are many kinds of food which are
usually baked or boiled that are very much
improved by steaming. The first article on
the list to mention is ..... ........r .
Brown Bread, ....-r ..
which we make after this manner. One cup
of rye meal, two cups Of corn meal, Ons cup
of sour milk, two cups Of sweet milk
iskimmed) one.half cup Of mOlasscs, and one
teaspoonful Of salt and one Of soda, dissolved
in half cup of warm water. Mix all to-
gether thoroughly aud pour into two quart
basin. Place in steamer over kettle OF
boiling water (be sure and keep the water
boiling all the while) aud steam three hours.
Then set in a moderately heated oven for
fifteen minutes. and you will have loaf of
bread as light and sweet as heart can wish
without one mouthful Of waste. A few
slices Of this bread warmed in the oven or
steamer, with fresh boiled eggs, or slices Of
cold meat make an excellent foundation for
breakfast, these cool mornings. The next
article that is much better steamed than
baked is an
Apple Pudding.
Mix the crust as for cream Of tartar bis
cult roll some OF it about one fourth Of an
inch thick and line a deep naPPy. Fill with
quarters Of good, ripe, sour apples, and
sprinkle little salt over them, aud season
with nutmeg. Cover with crust about al
thick as the under one, tuck it in we'll around
the edge, and steam two hours. SweeteneC
cream or maple honey are the necessary &C
compartments TO this delicious dessert On'
more article which is usually boiled, that il
our opinion is very much better steamed, Is
Indian Pudding.
Make a thin batter Of Indian meal AM
milk half sweet and half sour, add salt an'
soda according to the quantity. Stir 10
cupful Of dried raspberries, currants, o
