Every relation to mankind. Of hate or
scorn or neglect, is full of vexation and
torment. There is nothing to do with
men hut to love them; to contemplate
their virtues with admiration. their
faults with pity and forgiveness. Task
all the ingenuity of your mind to devise
some other thing. but you can never
find it. To hate your adversary will
not help You; TO kill him will not help
you; nothing within the compass Of the
universe can help you but 10 love him.
But let that love flow out upon all
around you, and what could harm you
how many knot of mystery and mis-
understanding would be united by one
word spoken In simple and coniding
truth of heart How many solitary
place would be made glad if love were
there, and how many dark dwelling
would be filed with lightl-Orville

just turn from the world moment
and think of God. Do so especially
when you are anxious and worn with

been leading you on by making You be-

One OF the stay-at home white ribbon
sisters said "Now tell US about the good
things of the convention" The reply
was: 1.-The convention lasted throug d
three days and three evenings and i
would take all that time to tell all the
good things, for it was all good" How
ever, few points here and there may be
given as samples.
Tuesday morning brought a pouring
rain which lasted all day and part Of The
evening, Just giving time for the home
going OF the members before II COM
menced again, but nevertheless good
big company attended all the sessions.
The church was beautifully decorated
with evergreens, plants, bouquets and
white ribbons, W hiie the various county
banners occupied conspicuous positions in
front Of the galleries. Portraits of varl-
Gus temperance leaders were all about the
platform, the places OF honor being given
those OF Miss Willard and Neal Dow.
After the opening devotional service
the convention WAS formally opened by
Mrs. Stevens, and the roll call showed all
the general officers present besides thir-
teen county presidents and twenty four
superintendent Others came in later,
all the county presidents attending.
Mrs. Stevens address was listened to
with great interest. The rest OF he fore
noon was spent in listening to reports of
! superintendents and introducing visitors,
of whom there were many each day.
Ministers OF nearly all denominations,
teachers, lawyers and representatives OF
various temperance, religious and reform
atory associations weIe among the num-
! Der. Mr.. Halliday, OF the Sunday school
association, made a short visit and gave
some of his bright, pithy remarks.
| Tuesday afternoon reports were con-
/ tinued, and the evening was devoted 10
addresses Of welcome on behalf OF the
churches by Rev. Luther Freeman, OF the
| Chestnut street Methodist church, the
pastor of the entertaining church being
absent; the local union, by its president
Mrs. George 5. Hunt, response by Mrs
| Sarah Lord Cram, and the main feature
| of the session, the address OF Miss Anna
Gordon. Miss Ellie Littlefeld gave u
reading, and Miss sarah NJ. Hall sung
several fine selections during this and
the other sessions.
Wednesday morning the devotional
exercise WAS led by Miss Eliza beth p.
Gordon, Anna Gordon's sister, She re-
sembles her sister, and has a very win
ming and pleasant manner. Reports OF
| department work occupied most OF the
forenoon, followed by the memorial SER
vice, led by Mrs. K. {. Hall, OF Rockland
Wednesday afternoon after continued
reports, introductions, etc, came the y.
hour, one OF the most interesting OF all
the exescises. This was conducted by
NJ ISIS Lubelle Patrick in her usual happy
manner, and it was an inspiration to see
so many youthful faces, all lighted up
with enthusiasm in their work. There
were several short and very interesting
addresses, showing an amount of work
done in this department alone which
would go far to answer the oft-repeate ed

Some recipes appropriate to the season
may not come amiss here.
CRAB APPLE JELLY - Wash the fruit
clean, put in kettle, cover with water and
boil until thoroughly cooked. Then pour
1t into a sieve and let it drain. Do not
press it through. For each pint OF this
liquor allow one pound of sugar. Boil
from twenty minutes to half an hour.
APPLE JELLY - Cut the apples into
pieces, removing the cores. and put them in
a kettle with cold water sufficient to cover
them. Let them boil for an hour. Drain
through sieve; to every pint of liquor
allow three fourths pound of sugar. Boil
about three fourths of an hour. One
must use her own judgment in regard
both to boiling the apples and the jelly, as
soft apples would cook much quicker than
hard ones.
PRESERVED PEARs-One pound of fruit
to one pound of sugar. Pare of the peel
ing thin. Make a syrup of nearly one
cupful of water to one pound OF sugar
when clarified by boiling and SIX mining
put in the pears and stew gently until
clear. If large pears are used they mould
be quartered and cored. Some like the
juice of a lemon added TO the syrup A
toothpick is the most convenient thing
for testing the pears and removing them
from the syrup also, if you wish to boil
the juice down little more before plac
ing in jars.
CREAM OF TARTAR CAKEs-Try this
recipe for cream tartar cakes sometime;
To two cups of -four in which one teas
poonful of cream of tartar and a half
teaspoonfuI of soda has been sifted add a
large half cup of sugar and third of tea
spoonful OF salt, and mix with half a cup
OF sweet cream and enough sweet milk to
make dough about as stiff as biscuit;
add vanilla or nutmeg; roll out about
half as thick as biscuit and cut the same:
sprinkle little sugar on the top OF each,
and bake in rather quick oven. When
vanilla is used for flavoring, they are nice
with chocolate frosting.

responsibility of our column for few
weeks. W hen I know so many OF you are
taking vacations, attending meetings Of
interest, having change from the domestic
routine OF daily duties and gathering up
helpful ideas. hopeful courage and pleasant
memories for the future.
To keep N touch with the great world
and its reforms aud improvements, to look
upon new scenes and listen to new voices.
TO store up information and have broader
views OF life and its activities, all these
things help u to develop and keep US from

what they know now The Oldest of US

The young housewives, who once played

weeks when WEAKNESS and cares will make

do more for the health OF the children and
the rest Of the mothers than can be esti-
mated.
The chilly days of autumn remind the

But dress them warmly and see that their

Some Churning Suggestions.

Few, if any, really progressive
dairymen use any other form of
churn than the box or barrel type,
having no inside fixtures. At this
time of the year when cream is so
plentiful there is quite a tendency
on the part of users to fill these
churns too full. The cream is
churned by conclusion, that is, the
cream falling as the churn revolves,
hence the greater the amount of
cream in the churn the less the
amount Of concussion per revolution,
and the longer the time required
for the churning. Not only is a
longer time required, but test of
the buttermilk will show more
butter remaining in it when the
churn is s'overfilled than when only
a proper amount is placed in the
churn. A box or barrel churn
should never be filled more than
half full, and only one-third full is
better. Cream always swells some
during the first part ofthe churning
process and if the churn is filled
more than half full there will not
be the proper amount of conclusion.
If there is cream enough to fill the
churn more than half full time
would be gained by making two
churnings instead OF one with an
overhlled churn.
Very frequently the cream from
shallow pans has "leathery" con-
dition of its surface, which causes
clots in the cream which do not
break up in churning and appear in
the butter as white specks, some
times of considerable size. This
difficulty can be partially remedied
by stirring the cream occasionally
during the interval between skim
ming and churning, and can be
wholly overcome by passing the
cream through a coarse strainer as
it goes into the churn. These
white specks contain much caseir
which decomposes easily and thu:
causes the butter to become quickly
