N. s. Take Notice.

Editor Social Corner: They say a woman likes to have the last word. Granted, I do! I have expostulated-I should not care to say how many times because my husband did not clean our old horse off. The said horse is al
 lowed to run this time of year, after he gets his master home at night, where he willard the first act Old Doc does is to lay down in the middle of the road and fill himself full of dirt. There is plenty of dust. No one need lack for that article at the present time. My husband called me out to the barn Saturday evening late He had a vacuum cleaner and tied the horse up short, made me stand on one part while he used the other. The poor old horse. I must stop and wipe my eyes. It makes me laugh now so that a cartoonist might get some fun ny lines by looking at me. Well, when that drea dful man said he guessed that would, or ought to satisfy me, the horse I don't believe would have known himself he certainly did look slick; but I think the moral. if one is need ed, is to let your good natured husba nd alone. or take the consequences.

Little Thinas 1t is We'll to Know.

Editor Social Corner: The house wife who knows how to do things by measure instead of weight saves much time. The scales and the steel goods are all right to keep the grocer straight. but for despatch at the mix ing table. measures borne in mind are immediate aids The sisters of the Corner should remember these: A pint of water or of milk or any other liquid of the same specific gravity makes one pound.
 Likewise two and half scant cup fuis of butter, three even cupfuls of Indian meal. four even cupfuls of dry flour, two cupfuls of chopped beef or veal. ten eggs of ordinary size-each of these named quantities and num- bers makes Q pound in weight.
 One heaping tablespoonful of grant, lated sugar two heaping tablespoon fuls of dried flour, two heapfng table spoonfuls of powdered sugar and two heaping tablespoonfuls of ground cof- fee-each of these makes one ounce.
 A coffee cupful of fine crumbs represents four ounces; very dry ann powdered suet is the same weight: 2 heaping coffee cupful of brown sugar weighs half d pound: one of seeded raisins and one of cleaned entrants stands for the same.

thought that he must have had a spell of the "blues."
 But our autumn days are not all melancholy days nor are they the saddest of all the days that mark the the year. True some of the sweet voices of the summer are hushed. The birds which chirPed at our windows or sang in the tree-top are gone. The blossoms of the vintage and the flowers Of the garden are died away, or their beauty faded. But the season of ma turity has come, and instead of the blossom the fruit is here. and the hus- bandmen are gathering the harvest of their seeding. The reward Of their labor. And we ought to remember with gratitude the giver of every good and perfect gift, for the seed time and the harvest and rejoice that he has given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater
 Let us be greatful and join our voices in words of praise this autumn season for the rich blessings with which He has crowned our days, and in stead of thinking of these beautiful days as sad and melancholy ones. let us Praise God from whom all bless ings fOw,' and turn our attention to window gardening. To me the tu- berous begonia takes the place of all others and if I could have but one plant is would be a begonia. have one in my window now with eight per feet flowers and seven buds some of them as large as a tea cup and double as a carnation. Lovers of flowers try them.

Leprosy is said by some to have been introduced into England by the Nor mans, but hospitals for lepers were in existence before the battle of Hast ings. Leprosy has been practically ab- sent from England since Elizabeth's reign. The leper windows to be seen in ancient churches still attest the grip which the disease once had on Eng land, lepers being severely separated from the rest of the community, a sep aration which extended even to eccle- siastical matters.

Doll Parties.

Editor Social Corner: It will not be long before the little children will have to spend most of their time in the house and some way will have to be devised to entertain them. and mothers who want to get up little social times for the juveniles may like to have a doll party for them. The children in- vited should bring their dolls and play taa-parties, calls, drives and the like. Then have seats for the dolls beside their respective owners and tiny table ware for them Put the dolles to sleep after the refreshments are discussed and let their mothers play Hunt the Slipper Hide and Seek" Ring Around the Rosey," Fuss in the Cor ner," and other of the games that never grow old, but serve generation after genera ton.
 It increases the work a little but it always pays to entertain the chil- dren once in while.

The Boy and the German Carp.

Editor Social Corner: Jack the Hunters letter on hunting in the So- cial Corner reminded me of the boy and the German carp. On a farm in the rural districts there Were two ponds. and boy asked his father If he could have them to try his luck in raising German carp. His request was granted and he stocked one of the ponds with the fish and 10 his sur prise i'll two years the water WAS so thick with fish they could not swim, so he raised the gate and let them have free access 10 both ponds. and thought there would be no more trouble rom the nsh but in the next sea son both ponds We're full of hungry fish. On the side hill near the ponds was planted to potatoes and the boy and his father went down to the field one morning to see if the potatoes were ready to dig: and To. and behold the field was covered with German carp which hrd rooted out the entire crop of potatoes and had deyoured mansS bushels.

Patience Candy.

Take three cupsful of granulated sugar; one tablespoonful butter; one half cupful walnuts or oceans. Melt one cupful of sugar in an iron sauce pan. stirring constantly until it is the consistency of mola sses.

An Unfired Nut Confection,

Take four ounces almonds and four ounces of seedless raisins or figs. Mix the fruit and nuts in the chopping bowl and chop to separate the fruit and mince the large pieces. When this is well mixed run it through the flaker twice. Take care to run the flaker so coarse that the oil is not pressed out of the nuts which can be noticed on the flakes as they emerge. Put the f1aked dough on a bread board and roll it to one-half inch thickness and then cut 1t into suitable squares as you would caramels. It is then ready to serve, or it can be wrapped into wax papers to keep for some time, If you have not got a nut f1aker, use the ordinary meat chopper.

 timentaI school ma'am gush over kindly" Nature. Nature seems to us sometimes kind and sometimes un- l1ind.-and quite as often one as the other. Probably she is neither in fact, but just straight forward and evenly just. Nevertheless, she isn't all step-mother. There is something that wakens or ought to waken any mans finer sense in the glowing and gorgeous spectacle which she is even now spreading across the forested hills We don't have any such coIors in our woods" said a farmer-friend from Nebraska. the other day. as he looked with hungry eyes up to my mountains, where the oaks and the naples and every common bush was "afame with God" There is some thing almost motherly in the way in which the great trees are shaking down their acorns and their chestnuts for the squirrels. and spreading their blanket of warm, dry leaves over the tender yearling growths of the under brush Why, just to live as we farmers may amid the glory of these perfect October days and full-moOned nights is in itself an education in the finer qualities of being. We are close to the heart of things, not only in short vacations but all the tine,-the whole year round. It is our own fault if we absorb from our surroundings only their qualities of harshness and severi- ty. it is just as easy to soak up gentleness and tranquility.
