Cotton Method of Canning.

having a number of pickle jars, bought
some good cotton batting. cut piece
of pasteboard to fit on top of the jars, to
prevent the fluid from getting in the cot

it and tie securely with twine, and have
not lost single jar and have kept them
a year. There is no virtue in the paste
board. only to prevent the fluid from
being absorbed by the cotton I then
used cotton on some of the self-sealing
jars. prefer the cotton method to the

and then add three eggs beaten very light;
set the basin or little pail in which you
have this in another of boiling water stir

LIVER HAsH.-Liver hash is delicate and
appetising, and nice as a change from
the liver and bacon known to all cooks.
Boil the liver until thoroughly tender
there must not beeve a suspicion of hard
ness about it-then mince it finely with
a chOpping-knife. Heat the mince very
hot in sauce of butter and Drowned
flour. The seasoning is pepper salt, and
dash of lemon or a little piquant sauce,
such as mushroom catsup.

hind them; perhaps they never will realize
ituntil they too are stranded upon thebar-
rem shores of age and enforced idleness.
And until that time comes they will never
know with what pathetic eagerness the
letter which cost them, perhaps, an hours
sacrifice of time or pleasure, is read by
the lonely old parents. If they only could
realize it, even in a small measure, they
would more often be willing to make the
effort, which indeed ough not to beconsid-
cred a sacrifice, but a happy privilege.
Many, might say most. of the readers
of this paper are far from the homes of
their youth, and to these | need not
speak of the comfort ofletters from hOme
they realize it all too keenly, but may
ask: "Do YOU not remember some lonely
perhaps sorrOwing friend whom youha
neglected, and who need the cheer of a
"good, long letter. from you? Perhaps
you may not possess a ready pen-yOu
remember the man who learned to write
by holding the pen in his teeth, having
lost the use of both hands and feet-and
certainly being possessed of two hands
and warm heart, you may send some
message that the recipient seeing may
take heart again"
When brothers and sisters are numer-
Gus and widely scattered, and business
and work pressing, the weekly, fortnight
ly or even monthly letter to each may be
almost impossible. But one family solved
the problem of hearing from each other
every week in this manner: Each one
writes a general family letter to ''mOther'
once a week. If there is ANYTHING of a
confidential nature to be said it is writ
ten upon separate sheet, for the parents
eyes alone After reading the family letter.
the parents send it to the Oldest son or
daughter who in turn send it to the next
and SO on until the youngest is reached.
The next week the letter is sent to the
second son or daughter first, who again
sends it on it's ways the letter always re-
naming permanently with the one who
completed the circle. Tn this way each
member of the family has letter from
every other member at least once a week
without having to write more than one
himself. Such system does not prevent
the brothers and sisters from writing di-
rectly to each other if they wish; and
while it could not be a serious tax upon
anyone, it would surely prevent that sad
drifting apart and consequently growing
indifference that is almost sure to result
selfish absorption of it's members in their
individual affairs CARRIE

A Neglected virtue-Letter Writing.

We are pleased to receive this week the
following valuable and suggestive article
from new contributor. We publish it
entire.-ED III. DEPT
1t is rot the aim of the preset article to
lay down rules for the proper construc-
tiOn of letters. In the present age of free
schools there is no excuse for bad gram
mar, incorrect spelling or illeg-ible chirog-
raphy, excepting willful neglect orstupid-
ity. Some one has truthfully said that
''tO be well favored man is gift of for
tune, but to read and write come by ma
ture." Interesting letter writer's are born,
not made. But any one who isnot hope
lesslv stupid, can, with the aid of die
tionary, good pen, black ink and sheet
of plain white paper, produce readable
letter.
Many people. however, ''hate to write
letters" and the letters of such are gen
orally very poor reading. They usually
begin after their fashion: 'I received
your very welcome letter and was glad to
hear from you once more, had begun to
think you had forgotten all about me.
you must excuse me for not writing
sooner, etc." Then a page or two OF
generalities and request to mot
wait as long as did"-and ''I car t think
of anything more to say now, Love to
ALL" Such a letter is better than none at
all, and is priced by the recipient as an
expression of good will; but with how
much more eager interest do we read the
one that plunges into the midst of things
without preliminary excuse or specula-
tiOn; gives an item of news or witty re-
mark upon some subject that your for
NAL friend would consider too trifing to
put into a letter; without a thought OF
simply covering the four pages of paper
with words that will pass for letter, and
so discharge a disagreeable duty. If we
care enough for friend to write him, we
owe it to him ais well as to our selfrespect,
to send him letter that he can not only
read without difficulty, but that will in
terest, and if possible, amuse him.
1t is never good taste or kindness to
write of our own troubles, excepting in
family letters, or even then to greater
extent than is necessary. Everyone has
troubles and worries enough of his own
to bear, without the additional weight of
others; and there are few thing more de-
pressing than dOIeful letter. Let our
letters, rather, be messengers of hope and
good cheer. Sad and lonely indeed must
be the heart that never quickens with
hope at sound of the postman's step or
the whistle of the mail train. Even the
impersonal newspaper or magazine may
remind one that there is some one in the
great world who has given him sufficient
thought to write his name-even for pay.
The writing of letters to friends and
acquaintances is matter of pleasure or
convenience; but between parents and
children, brothers and sisters it becomes a
moral oblig cation which no one can slight
with impunity. 1t is hard for the young,
going away into the hurry and absorption
of schools, business or housekeeping, to
realize the loneliness and desolation lett be-
