Some Practical Plans.

There is not a single state in the
union where better legislation for the
protection of childhood is not needed.
and where administrative difficulties
which the factory inspector, the truant
officer and the social worker encounter
cannot be met with the aid OF existing
resources through discussion and CO.
operation. If every woman's organiza-
ton would ask the local factory inspec-
tor. the school superintendent or teach
er and the settlement worker or parish
visitor. where any or all Of these
agencies exist, to give them some ac-
count of their work, new flood of light
would be thrown upon the child labor
problem.
The missionary spirit is also needed
Sometimes we come to realize the prob
lem at home somewhat better by rea-
son of & trip abroad. Let us help in
securing legislation for other communi-
ties and better enforcement of child la
Dor laws by helping those who have
harder difficulties TO meet than we have.
There are some cases-not so many, it
is true. as is usually supposed by those
who are timid about child labor legisla-
tion-where real poverty chains the child
to some occupation when it ought TO be
in school How many clubs. societies
churches and Sunday schools might es-
tablish a school scholarship in one Of our
larger cities, where the burdens of the
cost Of education and philanthropy are
already heavy. and by the expenditure

the burdens Of premature toll, and Sc

The Heart of a Friend.

"A broken friendship" says a writer
N an exchange, like china, may be re-
paired, but the break will always show"
And it is a bit of real truth and wisdom
Friendship is a precious thing-too pre-
clous treasure TO be carelessiy broken
or thrown away The world handles the
word friend" lightly; its real, true.
deeper meaning is forgotten. and the ac-
quaintance of an hour OF the chance
conner IS designated by the term which
n itself bears a wealth of meaning.
Your friend is the one who appreciates
you-your faults as well as Your virtues
who understands and sycpathizes with
your defeats and victories, your aims
and ideals, your joys and TEMPTATIONS
your hopes and disappOintments, as no
one else does or can. 1t is to your
friend to whom you turn for counsel
tor comfort, for praise; he may not be
as learned as some or as wise as others.
but 1t sutfices that he understands YOU.
and even his quiet listening gives
strength and renewed courage Blessed
is the man or woman into whose life
has come the beauty and power of such
4 friendship. Prize it we'll Do all in
your power to keep such a friendship
unbroken. Avoid the break. for when
it comes it can not be easily mended
and the Earring note mars the harmony
of the whole glorious symphony. 1t Is
not alone question of forgiveness: that
may be full and complete. 1t is the hurt
IN the heart that will not readily heal
and the confidence that will NOT fully
come back.

Mince Meal for the Winter.

The quantities given here are quite
sufficient to last nearly all winter for a
good-sized family. The suet in mince
pies should be chopped as finely as pos
sibe. One-third butter and two-thirds
suet give better flavor than suet alone.
The beef should be cooked all day until
perfectly tender, and the stock in which
1t is cooked reduced to a jelly-like CON
slstency. Cool over night and take off
the fat before mincing. Fruit Juices
even those that have begun to ferment,
may be used iii mince meat. as the al
cohol evaporates in the cooking
Allow to three pounds of chopped meat
six pounds of coarsely chopped apples,
two-thirds of a pound of butter. one and
one-third pounds of suet, four pounds of
sugar, four pounds of seeded raisins.
three pounds of currants washed and
dried, three pints of sweet cider, three
pints of boiled cider, one quart of stock.
six heaping teaspoOnfuls of cinnamon.
four tablespoonfuls of cloves, two table
spOOnfuls of salt, one pint of molasses.

shore

Far over purple seas
They wait, in sunny ease,
The balmy southern breeze
To brig them to their northern homes once

Why must the mowers die?
Poisoned they lie
In the cold tomb, needless of tears or rain.

They only sleep below
The soft white ermine SHOW
While winter winds shall blow,
To breathe and smile upon you soon again.
The sun has hid its rays
These many days;

The stormy clouds on high
Veil the same sunny sky
That soon, for spring is nigh.
Shall wake the summer into golden mirth.
Fair hope is dead and light
Is quenched in night
What sound can break the silence of de-
spair?
o. doubling heart!
The sky is overcast,
Yet stars shall rise at last,
Brighter for darkness past
And angel silver voices stir the air.
