And yet how much those words betide!
How much of thought CT ten e.ness,
This short, II thank yOu," may express

Twill chill the heart like frozen rain;
Or, when indifference marks it's tone,
Turn loves sweet impulse into stone.
Be not afraid, my little one,
AS time goes on beneath the sun,
While marching in lifes motley ranks,
For all your blessings to "give thanks"
First, thank your God for life SO fair
For tender mercies great and rare,
Forhealth and strength, for home and friends
And loving care, that never ends.
Then thank the ones. whoeer they be.
That do kindness unto thee;
Twill cost you Ii tie, pain you less,
The sweet 81 thank you!" to express.

Preserved Green Ginger.

The subject OF growing ginger has been
agitated in the columns Of the AGRlCUL-
TURIsT at various times, and for the ben
eft OF OF those who have experimental in
the growing of the same we offer the fol-
lowing:
Select plump, smooth-looking ginger
root. Gnarled OR rough pieces are unfit
for use. Scrape them carefully, and as
the pieces are scraped throw them into
cold water. Weigh the roots and al ow
three and one-half pounds of root to four
pounds of sugar. Put the ginger root
over the fire in q large kettle of cold wa
ter. Let it boil steadily for about half
an hour. Then drain it out of this wa
ter, cool it in cold water and put it over
the fire again. Let it boil in this second
water until it is SO tender that it can be
easily pierced with a broom splint. Make
a syrup, using one quart of cold water.
Add the shells and whites OF two eggs.
Stir the syrup and eggs slowly over the
fire until it boils. As thescum rises, skim
it off, and when there is no scum remain
ing, remove the syrup from the fire and
strain it through a napkin. When it is
cold. cover the ginger with the syrup and
let it stand for two days. Then drain it

It Is Well to Remember

That fannels should always be washed
by themselves in suds prepared for
them; on no account be rubbed On the
board unless very dirty.
That the suds should be pleasantly
warm to the hands, not too hot, and no
hot or cold water be added while the
fannels are in the tub.
That they should be rinsed in clean
water Of the same temperature as the
washing suds, and as many waters used
as may be necessary to take all the soap
out, as the fanneIs will never be soft with
the soap left in them.
That they should never be blued.
That they should be pulled in shape be-
fore hanging; undershirts being hung
from the shoulders.
That they should never be hung out OF
doors in freezing weather, but quickly
dried before the fire, or better, over the
register and pressed as soon as dry
enough.

Graham Goodies.

A writer in Country Gentleman says,
whenever growing children demand bone
material and those OF various ages need
whatever will help to strengthen or build
up the teeth-Whenever indigestion and
dyspepsia with the comprehensive ills
threaten, and nutrition becomes diff
cult, some benefit may be gained from
the use of graham or whOle-Wheat -four.

wholesome, easily digested and tempting
in their intrinsic excellence, may be made
Of coarse -four, but it must be owned
that these are not very common. Sweet
dishes, attractive to children and agree
able and wholes ONE for everybody, may
induce some housekeepers to make more
fire quent use Of this valuable element in
the family diet.

Attractive Towels.

Florida housekeepers are always on
the alert for something new and original
and here is something worth noting in
towelry. The most enduring as we'll as
attractive are made of linen huckaback,
using yard and a quarter for each
towel, the width and quality suiting the
purchasers purse and taste, and after
hemstitching the ends either In white or
with a colored silk have stamped, or
mark in if handy with the pencil, the in
itial on one end and band in any con-
ventiOnal pattern On the other. En-
broider in any color to match the room.
Some very pretty ones can be made by
hemstitching the ends with white, in
double hemstitching, adding still another
row of the same about an inch and a.
half above the hem, and between this
feather stitch with coarse white crctchet
cotton. The initial can be outlined in
one end if preferred.
These towels have the advantage that
no care is needed in laundering them.
They can, if wanted as gift, be added
to by making wasl c'otbs to match, hem
stitching and working either two or
three letters across the corner. If firing
ing is preferred, that of course can easily
be substituted, although the hem will
wear much the longer. Yellow is about
the best color as far as the laundry work
goes, for unless great carelessness is
shown this color will remain until towels
are worn out.

For OF course he could blow the match

loses his head and a portion OF his cuti-

brings woe to everybody but the plumber.

MOLLIE'S PROBLEM.

There's lots OF things cannot understand,

Ones why the brown comes on my little name
Because the sun is hot up in the sky.

Instead OF pie and buildings full of plums.
can't see why baby always squirms,
Or why big boys are fraid of little sums.

Instead of tai king sense like you and me;
And why the sun don't shine when it is dark;
Instead of when it's light, cannot sc.
I wonder what it is makes children grow,
And why they have no wings like little flies

THESE lovely days are the days to
overhaul the winter apparel and get
overcoats, cloaks and all heavy under
clothing in order to don when the cold
winter days come. Do it now, for it
takes wonderful amount of courage to
move from the fire to hunt up needle,
thread and buttons to sew here and
there on overcoats in the rush of the
morning leaving.

off, boil it down again, and when it is
cold again, pour it back over the ginger.
Repeat the process third time, pouring
the syrup, this time boiling hot. over the
ginger root. After these successive boil
ings, the ginger root should be thorough
ly permeated with the sugar, and the
syrup should be boiled down thick and
itch, so that it will be just enough to
thoroughly cover the ginger. Ii the syr-
up is poured hot at first over the ginger,
it will shrink and will not take up the
sugar.

Comfort and Decoration.

The fact is, decoration may be good,
but comfort is always the most precious
element of home life. says the New York
Recorder. Some of the effort expended

in bed in the morning.
A Jug OF hot water, as matter OF
course, without effort, every morning

how many families have plush banners
till they can't rest, and never see drop
of hot water outside the general bath
room, except they make violent and I'M
seemingly excursions after it at strange
hours and in weird costumes.
The proper receptacle for it, by the
way, is not a Jug at all buta tin can with
a spout, handle and cover.
Why not, if you love to do things for
your house, have as many of these cans
made as there are bedrooms in your
house; have it done On the patterns Of
the cans that come with tin foot baths,
only about half the size. Have them
painted to match your rooms, ifyou love
a dainty finish to your arrangements.
All the worked notices and scripture
texts you can hang on the walls are not
so conducive to sweet piety on hot
night as pitcher Of icewater.
