idea of these inventors seems to be that
the prejudices against corn among many
races is due entirely to the risks attend
ing the orthodox method of eating it, The
new-fangled corn hooks make the opera
ton so simple that novice can master it
in one lesson. When they are employed
the fingers do not touch the ear at all.
Instea it is safely impaled like a beetle
on a pin and so all danger to- the cloth
ing eye and surrounding public is re-
moved.
Despite the apparent refinement of this
device we are unable to approve it. To
get the true flavor of green corn one
must eat it in the manner followed for
centuries by those epicurean Eastern
shoremen who are the acknowledged RAJ
phaels of the art. If the fingers do not
touch it how can one get the full meas
ure of its electrical warmth? With a steel
prong piercing its vii ais how can it APP
peal to the Imagination? With all danger
of its sudden flight removed where is its
old romance? Away with all such me-
chanical impediments to poetic eating! As
well kiss pretty girl through sieve!-

Preserving Fruit Jelly Making

Next to good fresh, firm fruit, one
should have proper utensils, says the
Indiana Farmer if she would make a
complete success of the work. Iron or tin
vessels should never be used, as the acid
of the fruit mixing with the metal causes
discoloration, and gives metallic state
to the jelly or preserves The kettle
should be porceain-lined or enameled
silver plated knives should be used fol-
pairing, and wooden spoons should be
used for stirring.
An acid fruit is best for making Jelly
and underripe fruit is preferable to over
ripe fruit Keep covered and cook slowly
Never stir the juice, but simply set il
back from the fire a minute or two at q
time, and the jelly will be clearer and finer
than when it is stirred. The necessity fol
sterilized jars and tumblers ought to be
too well known to need repetition, but the
best method known is given, Put the
jars or tumblers, the rubbers and covers
into cold water, and heat gradually to the
boiling point, then boil steadily ffteer
minutes. The jars or glasses must remain
in the boiling water, and be taken out one
at time, as they are to be filed.
TO strain the juice use a checseclotl
bag, and do not squeeze or press if yol
want bright clear Jelly.

This is the day of clubs, and clubs,
and more clubs, but Pm sure you'll agree
with me that the most novel organza-
ton vet formed is the Harmony Club,
of New York, for which E. H. Fallows, a
lawyer and so of Bishop Samuel Fall
lows, of Chicago has just asked approval
for its Incorporation. These are some of
its objects.
To harmonic people with themselves,
their surroundings, and each other
To prove the efficient value of a smile
and song in every day life.
To invo igate, formulate and demon
strate the scient fife laws of happino IS.
To maint ain brotherhood of individ-
uals where sympathy is the only bond.
To impart the principles of self-help
as the highest form of all ruism.
To conduct schools, reading rooms,
meeting places and social centers through
out the United States and England
1t may sound silly to you, or imprac-
teal or visionary, but there seems, to
me, to be grain of sense and several
grains of since rity in those sentences.

Forcing tomatoes

Tests at the experiment stations show
tkat nitrate of soda is superior to both
barnyard manure and mineral fertilizers
for forcing the growth of tomatoes and
that nitrate of soda is only slightly less
effective than the complete fertilizers.
These results however do not apply in
the case of poor soils or upon heavy
clays.

WOMAN S COLUMN
THE VALUE OF A SMILE

Don't Let People Know OF All Your Trou-
bles The Harmony Club Formed in
New York.
You never can tell how your mood
affects that of your neighbor But Ger
tain il is, that if you go shopping wi h
a frown a yard wide upon your brow
the girls who wait upon your wan S, the
clerks in the markets and the people on
the streets are going to feel that depres-
sion Some of those men and women are
carrying about as heavy load as they
can bear, some such kind of burden as
would have made you limp and squeal
long ago. Have you any right to lend
the last straw that brings courage to the
breaking point? If you preside over your
breakfast table with frown and dish
out the oatmeal with an air that sours
the cream, you add a share to the bur
den of each member of your family. Is
that fair? Have you right to lend
trouble to those who have a plenty?
Why must you fight all your battles in
your face?
Don't tell your neighbor thart you
have the grumps. She may have called
to get your sympathy because her Jelly
woldn't "jell'' and if you're "blue" too,
she goes home more downhearted than
ever and again you've transgressed. If
your shoes pinch (twould be common
sense to take 'em Off and your head
aches, your day goes wrong and you feel
as depressed as anything, don't tell the
story in every line of your face that he
who runs may read. 1t isn't pre- ~
tale. Smile at the policeman on the
corner, smile at the mail carrier who
doesn't bring you that letter you've been
writing smile at the clerk who tells YOU
that the silk you want so much is sold
out and that the management has de-
cided to buy no more of that kind, and
the less you feel like smiling, smile the
harder
The less you "let on to the world
at large that you have a pain and are
down at the mouth and the more you
make people think you're happier than
anything so much you've done toward
the establishment of the Kingdom of
Laughter upon earth. And, as a clergy
man once said, "when man laughs,
a hearty, wholesome laugh, l have great
hopes for his soul.
Take Emerson to heart.
