the only fraternal order, but the best.
When the local courts invited you to
come here tonight you may have
thought their motive selfish one,
but has it not occurred to you that it
was generosity that prompted them.
We Foresters of America have a good
thing and we feel that we ought not
to hide our light under a bushel."
The speaker next gave few inter-

instituted about the tenth century.

Choosing an OCCUPATION.

Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson,
the veteran abolitionist, soldier, lecturer
and writer, has a golden word of advice
for young men in Success:
THE danger. of being too changeable is
especially apt to predominant in a coun-
try like ours, where things are more in a
state OF fluX, less fixed and settled than in
older countries, and where there are
more opportunities to branch out into
new fields. In England, for instance, if
one starts in some particular line, it is
very difficult to get out of it, but here it
is comparatively easy matter
Il should. therefore, say to young peo-
pie: Beware of the temptation to persist
in following an occupation or profession,
merely because you have started in that,
when once you find that you are utterly
unadapted to it; and still more beware of
the temptation to fly from one thing to
another, to be constantly Huctuating in
your choice, for this will surely lead to
failure and disappointment-an iucom-

GAMES FOR EVERYBODY.

For the amusement Of a company
where people of all ages and tastes are
gathered together, games of one sort or
another are almost necessity.
It is always, better to prepare ones
self beforehand for such occasions as
this. Two or three games are usually
enough to amuse company for several
hours, but these should be carefully
planned and all the necessary accessories
provided. ....,~.-..
Two funny games that are somewhat
similar are the Peanut" and the ''Po-
tato" games. -,
/ In the peanut game each member is
nuts and case-knife. At given signal
each one takes his knife, picks up as
many of his peanuts as he can on his
blade, and carries them across the room,
depositing them on plate set for the
purpose. Then he goes back and repeats
the operation, and continues until he gets
them all transported. If any: drop on
picked up in the same way. The one
who first succeeds in transferring his
pile from one place to the other gets a:

them to her plate. The one who first

TO COOK APPIES

Not one woman in thousand knows
how to bake apples properly. Whey
must be served hot, because d cold baked
apple is to the stomach just like big.
comfortable piece of lead. An apple
baked today is unfit to serve tomorrow.
Their cooking requires basting and watch
ing as carefully as that of meat. Whole
apples should be baked in the skin. The
skin is practically indestructible, and
next to it is the best fiavoring. There is
no particular harm in eating the skin,
and it often does good work.
A simple dessert enjoyed by the chill
dren consists of apples cored, and each
cavity filled with sugar, nutmeg, bit of
butter and two or three raisins. Add one
cupful Of hot water and bake in a slow
oven. This may be varied occasionally
by placing meringue on the top of each
apple when done, and cooking in slow
oven for seven minutes longer. Serve
