ever. There is certain age during which
it is fitted to be eaten, the same as with
butter or meat.
Between a month and half and six
months of age, good cheese should be at
it's best as to edible and digestive quail
ity. Ii made from pure milk and by the
modern cheddar process it ought to hold
a mild flavor between these limits Of
time.
Do not overload your stomach with
cheese just because it tastes good. Re-
member that it is essen TALLY meat food,
and as such, is rich in nitrogen and fat,
and so eat of it moderately at meal time,
SO it may assimilate in the stomach with
other victuals.
Caeese that "disagrees" with people is
often made from damaged milk, or is al.
fec ed by invisible mold penetrating it's
interstices, to which it is very suscepti-
BILE when kept in a damp atmosphere.
The variability in strength of rennet
used in manufacture, also affects the d.
gestive quality OF this dairy product.

Poor VS.. Rich Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those not taught to work. There are
thousands of them. Rich parents have
petted them, and they have been taught
to despise labor and in many cases to
ignore less fortunate girl who is out in
the world making a livelihood for herself.
therefore these poor creatures must de-
pend upon others for living, and are
perfectly helpless, says one
The most forlorn women belong to this
class. 1t is the duty OF parents to pro-
tect their daughters from this deplorable
condition. They do them great wrong
if they neglect it. Every daughter should

Salmon and potato balls.-Add to po-
tato that has been mashed with little
cream, one-t third of it's bulk OF canned
salmon. Mix we'll together, season with
a little salt and pepper and make into
small fat cakes; dip these in flour and
put them in the oven to brown on a we'll

Cheese.

The digestible quality of cheese always
varies with it's age. 1t is we'll known that
one can eat more OF it without ill effect
when new, or partly cured, than when
old. Although new cheese does not seem
as rich as when old. still there is Just as
much butter fat in it at one time as an
other. says we'll known authority on
the subject.
Cheese that Is so sharp OF taste as to
excOriate the mucous membrane of the
mouth, should really never be eaten, as
the lining of the stomach will be damaged
by it's presence there. This strong pun
gent flavor in cured cheese is due to an
unnatural ferment, caused by damaged
milk or improper making. Good cheese
ought to hold it's pleasant, nutty flavor
formany months without getting strong.
1t is Of this latter kind that We can eat
OF and not have it disagree with our stom.
achs, provided that in it's consumption it
goes to form a variety with other foods.
The weakest stomach should tolerate
good cheese as readily as good milk or
butter.
Cheese freshly cut is in the best condi-
tion to be eaten, both as to palatablity
and healthfulness. When exposed to the
air in small pieces, besides becoming dried
and unpalatable, it deteriorates in quail
ty from evaporation of moisture and rem
net principal. The truth is that vast
majority of people do not know how to
eat cheese, even after it has been properly
made. Cheese was not made to keep for

A HELPFUL CORNER.
For THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT,
THE CHILD POET.

| am always trying to understand
What the winds in the pines are saying,
AS up near the clouds so high and grand,
The branches green are swaying;
DO they talk to the sky, oh, mother?
Or do they talk to the earth?
And have they language for one another,
In words of sorrow and mirth?
Under the trees 1 live for hours,
To the sad sweet sounds listen.
And when the dew falls on the flowers
And the little stars all g:sten,
feel so sure, oh, mother,
That soon shall understand;
For we're all so close, the stars and trees,
The fow'rs and me- and the land.
The stars talk, too, but they say no words
Tho the flowers en- to know;
But neither of them could ever be heard,
While those solemn high winds blow.
It's like an organ, mother,
In the old pine woods so dim;
And think the angels played no other,
When stars sung that morning hymn.
| know God hears thro' the clouds so blue,
When the organ notes are swelling,
And the stars are looking brightly through
Sweet things to the blossoms telling;
Then low and soft-oh-mother!
SO low, and soft, and clear.
The words of the song come into my soul,
But will not come into my ear.
How still tbs now, there's scarce bree G,
But do you hear that signing
Like some poor wild bird in the trees,
Trying to sing while dying?
And, oh, just listen, mother,
| think it's spirits flown
Off on the strong brave winds of heav'n,
And that song is by Gods throne
If I'm never able to understand
What the winds in the pines are saying
Never repeat the words, to the grand
Old tune the organs playing,
| still can kneel there, mother,
Where my prayers l often say.
And the angels will be so close to me,
When he notes all die away.

The following recipes will answer nicely
at all times and are gathered in from an
exchange.
Stewed Oysters, Baltimore style, will
go straight to the heart OF a hungry
man. Take, as needed, three dozen large
oysters, drain and place in saucepan
with one ounce of good butter; cover the
pan and cook two minutes; season, add a
gill Of cream, a few drops of lemon juice,
half an ounce of butter, and little
minced parsley. AS soon as thoroughly
hot, send to table.
Turkey la Creole is fayOrite South
ern way OF serving this bird. Joint as
you would chicken dip in batter made
of equal parts OF beaten egg and milk;
roll in cracker dust, again in this batter,
and lastly, in cracker dust and fry in
equal parts OF very hot butter and lard.
The sauce for this is three ounces of butt
ter, two OF Hour. heated together, and
pint OF hot milk added slowly; season
with salt, pepper and minccd parsley. A
nice way OF serving potatoes with this is
to cut them into small balls, boil, drain
and pour melted butter over them, and
sprinkle with salt and pepper and minced
parsley.
A Plum Pudding is quickly made by
crumbling a pound can of pudding made
by a reliable firm, adding two cups of
bread crumbs soaked in milk, small cup
OF minced suet, three eggs beaten light,
half cup of sugar and a cup of stoned
raisins. Turn all these ingredients, after
mixing we'll, into a buttered mold and
boil three hours.
Sailed Peanuts.-A few quarts of pea
nuts shelled and sailed are good to have
on hand at Christmas. Allow table
spoonful of butter for each quart Of nuts
aud brown on shallow dishes in good
oven, watching carefully that they do not
scorch. Shake fine salt over thickly, and
throw them in coIander to cool
Parker House Rolls.-The very incest
rolls are made as follows: Pour a pint of
scalded milk over tablespoonfulea each OF
butter and lard and a teaspoonful each
of salt and sugar; when sufficiently cool
add cake of compressed yeast that has
been dissolved in half cup OF lukewarm
water and -four enough TO make thin
batter Do this at half past eight in the
morning dstand away until one o clock;
then knead in enough -four to make a.
soft dough. 1t must be as soft as can be
handled; stand in warm pIace until
half past four; roll out very thin, cut With
small, round cake cntter and foldI
over like a pocket book, putting but,
ter the size of d pea between the folds !
Set in warm place until half past five,

be taught to earn her own living. The
rich as we'll as the poor require this train
ing. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly
round-the rich ale likely to become poor,
and the poor rich. Skill added to labor
is no disadvantage to the rich, and is
Indispensable to the poor. WelI-to do
parents must educate their daughters to
work. No reform is more imperative
than this, and a girl who has been so
educated that she can assume any pO-
sition offered her, may count herself rich
for she has inherited that which can
never be taken from her. Our Florida
girls are apt to let this idea slip from
them and fall into lazy-like fashion of
letting things take their own course with
them which is very foolish. OF course
they are ambitious-when questioned as
to their future movements-but they fail
to bear in mind that now is the time for
preparation. Every girl ought and must
strive to make a success in life; aim for
one accomplishment any way and add to
this one as the circumstances and ad-
vantages will admit. Some can strive to
be model housekeepers nay we must say
al!-for that is position that is offered
to one and all but few there are who do
it successfully. Taking this one accom-
plishment as our talk for this time, We
would suggest that ourgirls, one and all,
wake up and find out what lies within
the power OF each one. Put it quickly in
to practice-don't say will tomorrow
begin now. Take the cares of the mother
from her, by way OF obtaining practical
knowledge Of the workings Of the home
learn from her experience, draw up plans
OF your own. original ones, putyour mind
to work, see how economical you can be-
Don't grumble when told to preform a
certain duty in the home, but fit your
self for hOusekeepers-but then don't
stop here-keep on-improve your mind
keep up with the current events of the
day, learn everything you can so that
when the time comes for you to enter
your little home you will be able to COM
prehend in it's broadest sense that the rich
est girl is the one who can prove herself
the most helpful in everything in the
home, and also in business affairs.

"GlkIND YOUR AKIN THE

Grind your AK in the morning, my boy

Beneath whose arm, on his backwoods

And then through maple, and ircnwood,

Your stroke reslstless shall drive,
Till the forest monarchs around YOU crash.
And their rugged fbers rive.
"Grind your Ak ere the sunrise shine,
With long and patient care,
And whet, with the oilstone sharp and

Till the edge will clip hair.
And what though you real o'er the stubs

With steady swing your stroke shall
