The Belfast Clam Bakes.

The shores about Belfast bay are pre-emi-
nently the home of the clam in it's most lus-
cious form. In addition to the extensive bust
ness these CLAIMS give to many fishermen,
they also are source of much enjoyment to
pleasure seekers. Scarcely a pleasant day
during the summer and at present but what
there were clam bake parties along the
shores on both sides of the harbor. The
smoke from the numerous fires built in
rocky ovens arise by dozens upon many oc-
casions. Men, women and children, place
them on fiat rock over the fire, cover with
rock weed and soon the pleasing fumes of
the cooking clans would fill the air. 1t is
very interesting to see women dig CLAIMS,
especially when the CLAIMS get mad and throw
water. Probably H. J. Locke, the jeweler,
and George W. Burgess, the printer, of Bel
fast have enjoyed more clam bakes than any
other two gentlemen in the vicinity. Ban

Squirrel Town.

Where the oak trees tall and stately
Stretch great branches to the sky,
Where the green leaves toss and t1utter,
AS the summer days go by,
Dwell a crowd of little people
Ever racing, up and down
Bright eyes glancing, gray tails whisking-
This is known as Squirrel Town.
Bless me, what rush and hustle,
AS the happy hours speed by!
Chitter, chatter-chatter, chitter,
Underneath the azure sky.
Laughs the brook to hear the clamor;
Chirps the sparrow gay and brown;
NV elcome! Welcome, every body
jolly place, this Squirrel Town
Honey-b bees the fields are roaming;
Daisies nod, and lilies bow;
Soon Jack Frost,-the saucy fellow
Hurrying, will come, / know.
Crimson leaves will light the woodland
And the nuts come pattering down;
Winter stores they all must gather
Busy place then, Squirrel Town.
Blowing, clustering, sweeps the north wind
See! The snow is flying fast.
flushed the brook, and hushed the sparrow
For the summer time is past.
Yet these merry little fellows
Do not fear old Winters frown;

The Best Ice Cream.

Good, pure cream, ripe fruit, or the
be st canned fruit in winter, and granulat-
ed sugar. make a perfect ice cream, -
writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in the October
Ladies' Home journal. ''Good ice cream
cannot be made without a good freezer
one working easily with side crank and
a double revolving dasher. Scald half of
the cream and dissolve in it the sugar.
This will prevent the cream from churn-
ing to butter. When raw cream is frozen
it has frothy, snowy taste; the taste of
the tlavoring is not prominent, and it is
neither smooth nor velvety in appearance.
After the mixture is prepared, before
turning it into the freezing can, see that
the latter is in good order. Adjust the
dasher, fasten on the crank and give it a
turn to see that all is right. Remove it
for moment, pour in the mixture and
re- adjust. A four quart freezer will re-
quire twenty pounds of ice and one quart
of coarse rock salt Put a layer of salt in
the bottom of the tub, then layer of ice
about three inches in depth, another layer
of salt, another of ice, and so on to the
top of the can. Turn the crank slowly
and steadily until it begins to require
force. If the can is properly packed the
cream will require from fifteen to twenty
minutes to freeze. Cream frozen too quick
ly is not smooth. The length of time re-
quired depends entirely upon the packing,
not upon the freezer. The more salt is
used the less time will be required for
freezing; the more quickly the ice melts
the more quickly will the heat be drawn
from the cream. Water ices require more
time for freezing ice creams. -

Treat Your Child Fairly.
*Presented

The health of our children is a stubborn
question. Some children seem to thrive
under every adverse condition. Others with
every care are sckly and weak and nothing
seems TO help them. They are frail, puny,
constantly aiing.
Take your child to the great specialist in
childrens diseases, DR.. Greene, of Nervura
fame, 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass, or
write to him and give the little one the bene-
fit of the best advice. No charge whatever
is made for such consultation or advice,
whether you call write. The success of
this world famous doctor in treating child
rens disease is phenomenal, and your child
should have this chance to be strong and
well. Everybody admires healthy children,
and no one has done 50 much to make
children healthy as this specialist. Your
child is entitled to health and DR.. Greene's
advice and treatment will build up and
strengthen the weak constitution.

After Vacation.

Before they had arithmetic,
Or telescopes, or chalk,
Or black boards, maps and copy books
When they could only talk:
Before Columbus came to show
The world geography,
What did they teach the little boys
Who went to school like me?
There was MT any grammar then,
They could MT read or spell,
For books were not invented yet
| think't was just as we'll.
There were not any rows of dates,
Or laws, or wars, or kings,
Or generals, or victories,
Or any of those things.
There could MT have been much to learn
There was MT much to know.
T was nice to be a little boy
Ten thousand year ago.
For history had not begun,
The world was very new,
And in the schools, don't see what
The children had to do.
Now, always there is more to learn
How history does grow =
And every day they find new things
They think we ought to know.
And if it must go on like this
I'm glad live to-day,
For boys ten thousand years from now
Will not have time to play!

The proper Diet for School Children

"a schoolgirl of ten years. writes Mrs.
S. +. Rorer in the October Ladies' Home
Journal, ''should have good, easily digest
ed, nutritious food: Well cooked, steel-cut
oats for breakfast, sub acid fruits and
soft boiled eggs. If she carries her lunch
a cup custard, fruit and chopped meat sand
wiches made from either beef, mutton OF
chicken will answer. No pork or veal,
no sweets or fried foods should be given
children. Apples, either baked or raw, be-
tween meals are good. For the evening
meal give nutritious cream soup, then a
red meat, either beef or mutton, roasted,
boiled or broiled; lettuce salad, contain
ing light French dressing made with oil
and few drops of lemon juice; some
simple dessert, such as rice pudding, cup
custard, tapioca or baked apples.

Going Back to School.

"A merry tramp OF little feet,
just hear the sweet vibration;
The children over all the land
Have had a long vacation,
And back again they haste to take
In school the dear old places,
10 measure out the days by rule,
With fair, unshadowed face.
They troop along the city streets,
Grave eyes grow young that see them,
And wistful hearts from every blight
vi sin and pain would free them.
Athwart the dusty ways of change,
With watts of flowers and grasses,
AS if to music sweet and strange,
The brilliant army passes.
Along the quiet country roads,
By purple asters bordered,
At nine O'clock and half-past three,
The gay reviews are ordered
And childish voices, clear and shrill.
Amaze the peeping thrushes, =
The wrens and the orioles,
Housekeeping in the bushes.
We older people like to watch
Our little lads and asses,
AS sturdily they set to work
In sober ranks and classes;
Such happy brows are overbent
To con the pictured pages,
Such earnest wills are wrestling with
The story of the ages.
And sometimes, signing as we gaze
So fast the BARNS are growing
We think of darker skies to come
For these, so glad and glowing.
Fain would we keep the children still
Brown-checked and blithe and ruddy,
With nothing harder in their lives
Than days of task and study.
But God our Fathers wiser love,
Prepares them for the evil
This army yet shall wage the war
With world and flesh and devil.
God bless them in the coming years.
And guard the waiting places
Which, by and by, He'll bid them fill
His smile upon their faces,
Mrs. M. E. Sangster.
