BY MRS. ]. II. FAIR
QUIET WAYS ARE BEST.

What's the use in worrying,
OF hurrying.
And scurrying,
Everybody furrying
And breaking up their rest?
When everyone is teaching us.
Preaching and beseeching us
To settle down and end the fuss;
For quiet ways are best
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers;
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fr agrance from each trimming cup.
There's ruin in the tempest's path,
There's ruin in voice of wrath,
And they alone are blest,
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.
Nothing's gained by worrying,
By hurrying
And scurrying.
With fretting and with fiurrying
The tempers often lost;
And in pursuit of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise,
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
IT'S better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they to raise fuss,
Or make themselves ridiculous
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength is always in reserve,
And nobly stands each test;
And every day and about,
By scenes within, and scenes without,
We can discern, with ne'er doubt,
That quiet ways are best.

Lake Helen, Fla.

The uncommon beauty of the place caught
the eye of wealthy visitors and Immediately
cottages began to spring up on shores of Lake
Helen. Queen Ann cottages, designed by Mace
dwellings vie with each other in beauty. They
are painted in delicate and pretty shades
grays, drabs, creams, etc.-with gables, towers,
balconies and other features in keeping with
their styles. In fact everything around Lake
Helen is ornamental. Even the shops and
stables are pretty enough to live in.

Useful Hints for our Readers.

Some time ago We gave nice recipe
for boiled batter pudding, and gave
our experience in using one pound bak-
ing powder cans to boil it in. We are
more than pleased with the result every
time, for they invariably slip out beauti-
fully into nice long rolls. and can then be
cut in round slices just the right r'size.
Eaten with rich sauce they are very,nice.
Since then we pack boiled hominy,
tightly in cans the same way to fry for
breakfast. After cutting in moderate
slices we dip them in beaten egg, then in
fine bread-crumts, previously dried and
kept on hand for that purpose then fry
in butter.
In preparing spiced beef to be eaten
cold for supper, We pack it hot in cans,
and when cold it is ready to cut into thin,
round slices. The dish looks much nicer
garnished with lettuce or celery tips
Somehow we havefound that "shapes"
of things will sharpen the appetite some
times. This is why triangular bits of
delicately buttered toast, with an egg
dropped carefully on each piece done just
to turn, will taste better than those
ill-shapen, ragged pieces put helter-skel-
ter on the table.
Nv
An attractive way to serve your pota-
toes is to mash sweet and Irish potatoes
separately, then place them alternately in
long rolls across your platter. Some per-
sons, after previously seasoning the po-
tatO, run it through a colander and then
place it in the oven to brown, but we like
the old fashioned way best OF heaping up
cone of mashed potato, with bits of
butter dented in at the top and running
down the sides in tiny golden streams
Do our readers know that baked ap-
pies, oat flakes and cream are delight
full combination? OF course you do, but
the difficulty you say is to get these three
good things at one and the same time.
As resource for the former, we bake our
bananas as We have them plenty just

The Hygiene of a Smile.

AAO AyS4OAC VI a. 0u14cs
When, in the midst OF LIES hurry and
worry, we meet smiling face, it seems a
perfect God send, and wesometimes think,
when seeing how much woe and suffering
there is in the world, that if we would
each of us, smile more, life would be so
much cas- er to live, for all of us; for a
sunny face sweetens both outside and in;
both the owner and the beholder. The
trouble with us is, that when we take the
pains to smile, We feel, as general thing,
that we are doing it solely for somebody
else's benefit, while, if We did but know
it, it is life and health and peace" to our
selves in many ways.
For one thing, it is morally impossible
to snarl at the same moment we smile;
for in spite of us, our voices will soften to
keep the smile company; neither can we
fret; and SO both snarling and fretting
have to go-and good radiance! Worry
ing, too, is perlorce, banished for an en-
tirely different set of muscles is brought
into play, those which make smile ut
terly refusing to be used in making people
unhappy. Snarling, fretting, worrying
the three evil genii that rule over thespir-
it's of men-how comforta able would be this
present life of ours, could they be once
utterly put to rout!
And they can be. Let us make this a
matter of duty, for smile is the hygiene
OF life, just as surely as sunshine and
fresh air. Ii you answer that you do not
feel like smiling, then all the more say,
smile; and my word for it, LIES affairs
will begin to mend with you from this
hour.
The magical change which the training
OF the muscles of the human countenance
in one particular direction will make upon
our habits of thought, even to involvinga
correction OF character, WHO can explain
Strange that melancholy mood of the
mind should go with downward curve
OF the mouth, while serene and equable
frameinvaliably accompanies an upward
one!
But so it is. Let us then make it the
real business of our lives tocultivate this
all-pOwerful upward curve!' Thus we
shall open the doorand let into our hearts
and lives the fair goddess Hygiea, and all
her goodly, well-favored train, love, Joy,
peace and the rest.
With these faces of ours, which have
been set for SO long in the frown of dis
content or the pucker of worry, it may be
a little hard at first to coax the unaccus-
toned muscles; but once we get theplys-
ical habit established, the nervous energy
will travel the same route over and over,
without thought or volition of ours and
whether reckOned as cause or as effect,
the victory will be worth the winning

Three Ways to Use a Can of Corn.

Mock OYSTER STEw.-To a quart of
boiling milk add one can of corn and let
it boil up once, then turn into a hottureen
wherein you have placed a goOdly lump
of butter, a trife OF salt and spirited
shake OF pepper. Serve very hot with
oyster crackers just heated through in
the oven
Corn CHowDER.-Have ready one cup
full of minced raw onions, three cupfuls of
pared and sliced potatoes which may lie
in cold water an hour before using, sew
eral crackers halved, and the contents of
a can of corn, which it is better to re-
move from the tin as soon as opened. In
the bottom of a suitable kettle place two
tablespoonful of butter and let it brown
with a sprinkling of the minced onions.
Remove it from the fire and place in lay
ers the potatoes, onions, corn and crack
ers, repeating the layers as long as the
material lasts. Cover with boiling water
from the teakettle and let it cook thirty
Or thirty-five minutes. Add cupful of
milk in which an egg has been beaten; let
it remain over the fire u minute longer,
but not boil lest the egg curdle, and
serve hot with more crackers crisped in
the oven at once.
CoRV OYSTERS to a can of corn
slightly chopped, two eggs, two teaspoon
fuls of salad oil, small cup of milk, a
liberal dust of pepper, a pinch Of salt, and
just -four enough to bind. Drop from a
tablespoon into boiling oil and fry quick
ly to golden brown, draining thorough
ly and transferring to hot dish. Eat at
once; the resemblance to. genuine fried
oysters is very marked.-Housewife.
