Pebbles in the Pool

We all of us make our splashes
AS we fall in the lake of life,
And some come down with crashes
Like the sounds of savage strife.
And some of us droy so gently
That the splash is scarcely heard,
And one must take note intently
To see if the lake be stirred.
But whether we come down crashing
Or whether we softly strike,
The ending of all our splashing
Is in every case alike
For whether few waves we're making
Or whether the lake we fill,
In the end the waves cease breaking
And the lake lies calm and still.

HOME LIFE

loose mittens made from feeced can
ton flannel, fieecy side in. They ef-
fectually exclude the dust from the
hands and wrist when made sufficient
ly long to pull well up over the
sleeve.
One way of Kidding the house of
flies is to put into an atomizer, 5
cents worth of the oil of lavender
slightly diluted with hot water. Spray
1t freely into the air and not a fly
will remain on the premises. 1t also
leaves delicate violet fragrance that
Is delightful.
II a feather boa turns limp after a
walk on the beach or a drive through
the mist curl it as soon as you enter
the house by shaking it over the heat.
An excellent way to accomplish this
is to shake the boa over boiling water
in which salt has been generously dis
solved.
When wishing to make gems or
mullins in hurry for breakfast
grease the pans and place on the top
OF hot stove, which by the time the
gems or mullins are mixed will be
smoking hot. Place the mixture in
the pans and put on top CRATE of oven.
Have quick f1ashy fire and gems
will be ready in five minutes.
To make window glass opaque dis
solve tablespoonful of EPSON salts
in glass of beer or ale. The COM
bination is best effected by heating.
Wipe the mixture over the window
you wish to cover the crystals. 1t is
impossible to see through the lace
work. Greater opaquenness is gained
by increasing the quantity of salts.
Fly marks and general griminess
may be removed from gliding by dip
ping small piece of cotton wool in
gin, and with it rubbing gently over
the soiled parts. The cotton wool
should be squeezed before being ap-
piled to the gliding, for this must not
be made really wet, and any damp
on it should be dried by the fire as
soon as the marks have been re-
moved.

fill the cores with sugar. Make a
batter of three cupfuls of milk, three
ounces of flour and four eggs well
beaten. Pour over the apples and
bake until the fruit is DONE Serve

Stuffed Peppers

Cut the peppers in half, remove the
seeds with care, not touching the
sides with them, and lay the halved
shells in boiling water. Let them
get cold in the water, then drain dry
and set on ice until you are ready to
cook them. They should be firm and
in good shape. Stuff each half with
well seasoned mince of cold chicken
or lamb, made soft with gravy and
mixed with One-third as much boiled
rice, or bread crumbs, or cold cooked
green corn, as you have meat. Round
the forcemeat ON top; arrange the
shells in a bakedish, pour cupful OF
gravy about them and bake, covered
for half an hour, then brown lightly.
Peppers stuffed with cold fish are
nice. You may vary the recipe given
above by filling them with green corn,
boiled, cut from the cob and seasoned
with butter, pepper and salt.
They make a delicious vegetable
entree.

Love wore a threadbare dress of gray,
And toiled upon the road all day.
Love yielded pick and carried pack,
And bent to heavy loads the back.

A Hot Toast

After the wedding feast there was
to be some toasts. The bridegroom
had been put on for a toast and
though he previously protested, his
toast was called for. Intending to

arose, blushing deeply, and uncon-
sciously he placed his hand on the
shoulder of his bride and began:
