would show its real character as center
of population. London and New York
now have long start on all the other
cities of the first rank, and they are not
likely to be overtaken in this century.
In fact. they are pretty certain to keep
gaining on all their rivals. except, pos
sbly, Berlin. Paris. Vienna. ST. Peters
burg and Moscow, on the continent of
Europe. are growing at a moderate rate,
and in the United States Chicago and
Philadelphia have both passed the period
Of mushroom development.
There are now only ten cities in the
world with populations greater than
100000. Three of them are in the
United States. two are in Russia and
there is one each in England. France,
Germany, Austria and japan. Were Bos-

by 1880 will also probably include St

BERLIN NOW RANKS THIRD.
But London and New York Have
No Rivals in Size.

From the New York Tribune
The passage by the Prussian diet of
greater Berlin bill will lift the capital
of Prussia and the German empire to
the third rank among the cities OF the
world. Before its consolidation with it's
suburbs 1t stood sixth. London and New
York are still far ahead of It. but it has
passed Paris, Toxic and Chicago. The
newer Berlin will nave a population OF
about 3.500000-an increase of nearly 20
per cent over the population OF the oder
city. Paris has now about 100000 in
habitants. while Toxic, Chicago and vi
emma are little way over the 2.Ooo.s0
mark. The figures of the London census
of 1911 are not yet out. but trustworthy
estimates indicate that the total for the
British capital is now over 100000.
There are several Iondons. with varying
boundaries. but the population usually
credited to the worlds greatest city is
that of the territory covered by its
metropolitan and city police districts,
which extend fifteen miles in every direc-
ton from a center at Charing Cross.
New York city's population a year ago
was 4,166SS3. If its area extended fif-
teen miles in every direction from GEN.
trail point in Manhattan it would prob
ably have over 100000 inhabitants. But

LUELLA's CLUB IDEA.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner:-When The Bulletin came last Saturday I was very busy, but, of course. must stop just a few minutes to read the good letters of our Cor ner.
 l was 80 glad to see one from M Roena. Don't think for a moment of dropping out to make room for more as you mentioned in your letter. When The Corner is so full it will not hold us all we will take our turn. I a1- ways look for your letters; they have q familiar ring to them Also, Faye Verna's. If l am not mistaken in guessing I should say we have had many good times together in days gone by. and hope to meet again in the near future.
 Eudora: Your club plan is O. K Had been thinking of the same thine myself Only thought of N. B. $. c. Norwich Bulletin Social Corner). The idea came to me when n Norwich one day recently I passed several with some society pin or badge. I wondered if had passed any of the Sisters.
 Ma can you tell me what is the matter with my chickens? They grow fine until about five weeks old, all feathered out. but seem to drop dowr and die suddenly. Can find no lice o1 marks on them.
 Am in the midst of a big wash. SC must stop or it will not get out to dry. will send some recipes next time.

SHE REALIZES HOW IT SEEMS TO
 WIN.

Editor Social Corner: kindly ac- cept my thanks for the check you sent me 1 was very much surprised 10 find that I had won the Second Prize. 1t was a. very pleasant surprise, and know now how the other sisters feel who have won prizes. This is the sec ond one that I have won since the Social Corner started.
 I was much interested in the ex- perienee that one of the sisters had buying silverwHre on the mstaliment plan. I had a similar experience 9 few years ago. buying magazines l was to pay ten cents a copy until l received a certain number of copies, and then I could select from cata- Iogue the agent carried. l paid the agent nearly fifteen dollars in money and told him what I had selected. but I've never seen the agent since, nor the premium, either. No more install ment plan for me!
 If each sister who bought her things that way would stop and think how much more she had to pay, certainly one-third more, she would never do II after the first trial.
 Frank: I've canned rhubarb the way you've given in your recipe, number of years. and I find it keeps splendid I can peas, string beans, corn, squash and a gerat many kinds of fruits, and think it pays to do it, especially when things are high in the winter time
 Faye Verna: We have disappoint ments over our paper, too, Not once but often, Our carrier is very care less about delivering mail and leaving 1t in some other box; and a number ol times we have had mail left in our boz that should have been left mile back.

thing is just waking from night of Slumber.
 I stood one morning not long ago and watched the sun rise over the hills, and saw a deer go bounding across the fields; heard the birds sing ing sweetly; the air was filled with the perfume Of the flowers. and the grass was wet with the dews of heaven, and I thought, this is Nature in all her beauty.
 I think if we would all take just a few minutes in the early morning to see some of the beauties of Nature, We would find that our days work would be much easier done
 I wonder how many of the dear sisters are up early enough to see the sun rise2 Those of you who are not just get up a little earlier some morn ing and watch him come up over the hills. You will feel well paid for your trouble.
 I am up every morning at 4 o'clock, and I never get tired of standing in the door and watching for just a few minutes. The birds go flying here and there, and I know you would enjoy the sunrise for one morning. Just try it some morning before long and see if that days work is not done befire you know it.

TIMELY RECIPES FOR CANNING
 AND PRESERVING.

Dear Sisters:-As the time for can hing and preserving is here, l will send my way of doing such things, as I am considered quite an expert in that line of work.
 Rhubarb and Strawberry Preserve Take four pounds of rhubarb; cut It with skin on. and steam it in close covered kettle without adding water to it; hull two boxes of strawberries, make a syrup of two cups of boiling water and four cups of sugar. Let boil ten minutes, then add rhuBarb and strawberries to the boiling syrup. Boil ten minutes and seal while hot in steriliZed jars. Sometimes try pineapple in place of the strawberries. using the same recipe.
 Sliced Rhubarb-wash the rhubar,S cut in small pieces, then weigh it. To five pounds of rhubafb add four pounds of sugar, one pint of vinegar, two tablespoons each of cinnamon and cloves: cook slowly until thick. Seal in jelly glasses.
 This is the way I can my strawber- ries: 1 allow two baskets to 8. quart jar. Put one-haJf pound of sugar and two tablespoons of water on to boil until it begins to crystalline; put in the fruit and boil up one2. Have ster- ilized jars ready and fill iafh1cdaateiy.
 otF7WDeFry JAn1-Af1cw TOUT pOaH41S of sugar to eight pounds of berries. Cook the berries slowly for half an hour then add heated sugar; cook un- til it is the consistency for Jam. Skim off all the scum that arises; when done pit in jelly glasses.
 Preserved PineappIe-Remeve ths sf'in and all the eyes. Slice the appla if hah-inch slices and cut out the core; allow three quarters Of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit; put in a preserving kettle the fruit and su- gar stir well and stand in a cool place over night. Tn the morning bring to boil: cook slowly half an hour; skim: put into sterilzed jars and seal while hot.
 Rhubarh Marmaisde = Take seven pounds of rhubarb, washed and cut in small pieces; put in preserving ket- tie; add one teaspoon of salt, two oranges sliced thin, two lemons sliced pounds of sugar. and let stand over night; in the morning put kettle or stove and let come to boil; then get back on stove to simmer; skim it if scum arises; when all is cooked well and it is rich looking it may be put into jars and sealed. It is fine with meats. and we like 1t with bread and butter.
 If these help any one kindly report I may send more later. I have de- rived so much benefit from the Social Corner: it is g truly blessing to us. Best wishes to all.

TO THE SISTERS OF THE SOCIAL
 CORNER.

It is with pleasure that we this week print a letter from Robert Duane Bromley. writer of that pretty and ap- pealing poem, Where the Milk White Birches Grow" in which he reveals that his fad Is rose growing, and that he is willing to answer questions to assist members of The Corner to do more satisfactory work in this special line: and as he sees The Corner reg uIarly, he will not miss single in- quiry.
 Next week we shall print Social Corner story from Ruth. which is en- titled "A Conffd ence and a Confession. IL is story from real life and all who read it will recognize that it Is no dream.
 After this week we shall discontinue the Friendship Quotations" and for awhile print every other week Nature Quotations, which, we think, will prove entertaining and profitable.
 If any of the Sisters have any sug- zestions to make with reference to the conduct of The Corner they will bs thankfully received by the Editor.

TO KEEP TRACK OF THINGS.

Dear Friends of the Social Corner: The Bulletin asks for helpful letters. Some of the sweetest. finest women. whose daily life is given to the routine - the kitchen and the care of the house are handicapped by the habit of not having a place for things and putting everything in its place. The piled up chairs. wardrobes and burea us the hunting for missing articles.-all this is a constant. though it may be. unconscious wear on both the mental and physical strength.
 Many times after days work. with everything helter skelter have I dreamed the night following of work Ing on and on, only to find rooms get ting into more and more disorder "fIa bit bound ones feet may never wholly turn but there is a chance for r~ttfng the better Of this foe to rest and peace in the home.
 Have fewer chairs in the kitchen. Take five minutes every day before beginning the regular work to take off everything not fin use from the kitchen stove and have the floor about the stove swept. Take out bric-a brac from all the rooms Have dry goods boxes where clothing not in use can be put awav-every article in these boxes to he listed in book telling in which box this article may be found One friend of mine had three trunks brought down from the attic and searched them through, finding the missing article in the last trunk In addition to the list in the book. have list placed on the cover of the book. Wrap each wooden article or fur in newspaper, as that is sure protec- ton from moths
 Every day add one article to the list oY things that shall always be found In their place, especially wearing ap- parel. so in case of a hurry call for outdoor wraps no time will be lost in hunting.

you forget your other troubles and gives little variety from the old rut which is necessary to keep one young and healthy.
 My special hobby is Angora cats; another is collecting old dishes, furni ture. books, etc. I have an old fan with ladies and lambs ogI it; and looking glass in the ivory expect to mount it on either black satin or vel vet and frame it in black and gold. Won't that be lovely?
 But that's not what I started out to write about. I started to write about chickens as hobby. The city or village man, or woman. who has a place to keep chickens and does not do so is missing something that would occupy their spare time. besides gfv ing them a. lot of healthfui outdoor exercise A dozen hens are enough to keep one busy if well cared for.
 it is very interesting to watch the chickens grow, gather the eggs and know you are eating fresh ones: to have a chicken dinner occasionally, and feathers for sofa pillow Some times, if you sell eggs for matching, or birds. at a good price, that is eneour- aging.
 The Philo system has been tried by a great many people in cities and will lages with good results. But any old system is all right if it is a system. In the city there is a good deal of waste from the table, which makes a good variety. That is what chickens like and thrive on, and if you break a dish occasionally, break that up fine for grit: and when you mow the lawn that is another treat: also save the egg shells, dry them and break them up fine. All these things go good way toward keeping them. and cost ing very little. For a. city fowl, espe- cially if it is kept for hobby, it ch ha ka lyt
 The Houdans are one of the most beautiful varieties. They are French fowl. color white and black. The comb is double-leafed and a large top knot. They are great layers, have a square and massive body short legs and spirited carriage. The cocks weigh five to six pounds and the hens four to five pounds. They thrive in confine- ment as well as when on free range.
