AN INDUSTRIOUS WOMAN.
Mrs. Abbie Condor Has Built III

One of the brightest examples Of In
three P's-push, perseverance and pros
perlty-may be found in Mrs. ABR
'ondon, OF Penohscot, who for years hal
been carrying on a large and prosperou.
business. Her life adds briiliauf

are not behind their rivals of the oppo.

Thirty-three years AGO Mrs. Condor
started the knitting business at the Ba,
on small scale. She was the pioneer il
this business i'll eastern Maine, il not IL

had no special training in business line
She was a bright scholar, with a fair dis

sources, pluck that fights its way through
and over difficulties, push that neve

that acts like a ceasless lever on tn,

She went to Boston and applied t
Pratt d Co. for yarn to manufacture into
mttens. AT first they gave her no en-

which gladly offered her 500 pounds as
starter. But not liking the appearance
! OF this firm, as the members were for.
eigners, she returned to Pratt Il Co. anl
! again asked for yarn. Mr. Pratt finally
| concluded to let her have fifty pounds OF
trial. She took it home with her.
The next thing to do was 10 find some
body to knit. Here she found the hard
est part OF her new business. Twenty
five cents pair for knitting mittens wa,

possible to get her small stock OF fit

and found one family OF girls willing t.

Hard are Thy lessons, Lord, to learn;
Heavy our cross. nor are we strong,
And oft with weary hearts we turn
To Thee and ask. How long. how long?
How long must we with every day
Wake TO fresh nowledge of our grief
And from the heart 8 dumb sorrow pray
To Thee for quick reliefP
Deep are the waters, and our bark
Flies, rudderless, before the gale.
The pilot seems to sleep and dark
Is the long night and torn the sail
o Lord hold out Thy beacon light
Bid Thou the hungry waves be still
And guide our storm stressed boat Alright
According to Thy will
For well We know whatever life
May bring before our course Is run,
Whether IN sorrow. Joy or strife,
IL Is Thy will, not ours, be done.

INDIAN MEAL.

There are so many nice dishes that can
be made with little Indian meal, an egg
or two, and some milk, that it is a wonder
that SO little of this wholesome article is
used in the average family. Here is one,
which may have been printed before, but
is original with the writer and worth re-
peating.
Dew DRoPs-1 egg, tablespoonful OF
sour milk with a pinch of soda, just
enough to sweeten it, l cup of sweet milk,
l heeped teaspoonful sugar, even tea
spoonful salt, Y cup corn meal, d cup
flour scant measure, beat well, bake in
gem pans, i'll quick oven; serve very
hot. This makes one gem pan full
GRIDDLE CAKEs-A nice gridde cake is
heaped tablespoonfuis corn meal, y tea
spoonful salt. Have grIddle or spider
well buttered, pour in all of The mixture,
and let it cook slowly till brown on one
side, turn and brown on the other, serve
not, with butter unlimited.
JOHNNY CAKEs-Johnny cakes are rel
ished by almost every one, but every
housewife has different rule. The
foundation of all OF them may be summed
up in the Old rhyme:
Two parts of corn neal one of -four,
Two parts sweet milk, one of sour;
and all egg for each cup of milk is good
rule.
Corn meal is not as good mixed with
much sour milk as with nearly all sweet
milk, as the soda required to correct the
acid makes he cake dry and sawdusty.
HAsTY PUDDING is another appetlzihg
dish when made as it should be. Have
tue water boillng, not merely hot, salt to
taste; a teas spoonful of salt to a quart of
water would be All average quantity,
sprinkle the meal i'll very slowly, stirring
constantly and keep it boiling all the
time till well thickened, then set it back
to steam through few minutes. Serve
with milk, syrup or butter and molasses
with a dash of vinegar,
"And what they could not eat that night,
The queen next morning fried"
with syrup or without.
BAKED INDIAN PUDDING is an old
fashioned dish that is always liked.
Here is good recipe: Scald " quarts
milk, stir in Y cup meal, l egg, l tea
spoon salt, Is cup molasses, add two or
three tart apples quartered. No spice is
needed, but il one likes caraway, tea
spoonful improves it.
Any of these recipes can be varied as tc
seasoning to suit indivio ual tastes, but
one thing is essential, to serve hot.

THE MOST WHOLESOME MEALS.
Mrs. ROarer Tells the Best Food for
Different Times of Day,

In Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. S. T.
Roarer writes at length to show that
Americans eat too much meat, but says
she does not want to be understood as
condemning meat entirely. Individually,
she uses all with the exception of pork

close OF the day.

can best be accomplished on a breakfast

were the famous trinity Of Thebes.
among whom possibly Chonsu was the
most prominent, especially in the period
from the 2fst to the 10Th dynasty. This
god was the "Thaumatnrgus" Of the
Egyptians. He it was that expelled the
devils out of man and beast and cured
all sorts Of ailments by means of mit-
aclas
Concerning this god there Is a legend
that on one occasion the daughters Of
the king Of Eekhten having become pos
sessed Of devils the king sent. for Chon-
su to come and cure her. This the god
did. but the king was pleased with
him that he refused To let him return to
Egypt. whereupon the god changed HIM
self into a hawk and flew away into
Egypt by night. The festivals of
Chonsu We're very elaborate. and a large
number Of priests and priestesses We're

This deity Is always represented with
the head Of hippopotamus surmounted
