ARIJAH YEARNs FOR FLAKY PIE
 CRUST.

Editor Social Corner: I am Hard by nature and by name. I am, indeed, more wild than tame, for I don't think I can get into the Corner; but I am writing to see if Sister Cornerites can not learn my wife Keturah Ann how to make flaky piecrust. She is a model cook in many things. but such pesky piecrust I will not eat.
 told Keturah Ann I would buy her a silk dress if she would learn how to make flaky piecrust She will make the incest biscuits, if the cows don't gu cn strike, for she's got to have cream to wet them up with.
 Custards-you can't beat her, if she can get maple-sweet to sweeten them
 She puts grape juice in mince pies 1t gives them fine flavor that just suits my taste. She puts lemons in driedapple pies.

BON AMI WILL BE WELCOMED.

Editor Social Corner: May stran- ger to you, if not to the goodness of Social Corner, come in and have chat? have been fond of reading the interesting letters of the Corner. have been impressed very much by the sympathy and kindly greetings that have run through the heart and minds of so many. have noticed the promptness with which all requests have been responded to; and good cheer has reigned supreme. Would not dare attempt to write @ letter for pub lie reading, if I had not the assur- ance you would think kindly of the strangers letter and grant me a little place in the Corner.
 I was pleased with the Memorial day letter written by Fila Barber. l feel quite patriotic, as five of my family answered the call in '61. When I see the suit of blue. brass buttons, and the c. A R, badge, feel just like touching my hat. But the boys in blue of the present time cannot stand as straight and as erect as they did in '61. The span that has gone is tell ing on them, and the ranks are thin ming.

A Summer in Southern Minnesota
By Samantha

In another direction from the village were three chains of lakes, the chains being about one-half mile apart, and think there were six lakes in each chain. the outlet of one forming the inlet of another. As we learned of boarding place near one of these lakes we decided to stay there 8 few weeks before coming back east This house had been built by a rich EnglishInan at great expense. The front of the house was two stories high and faced the prairie. while toward the road and lake the roof sloped nearly to the ground, being built that way to escape going over in the high wind. We paid two dollars a week board, the menu consisting of plenty of fresh fish, wild geese, turkeys and prairie chickens. and graham gr1ddlecalkes with honey, etc.
 Quite a party were staying at this place for the hunting. The span of large horses would be titched up and ] we would drive through grass as high as the horses backs, the dogs going ahead until they found game, then waiting for the team to get near be l fore soaring the prairie chickens up | up, when the men would 7hoot them 1 from the wagon.
  and a half across. We had large rowboat that would seat twelve people I Cthen a girl of sixteen) learned to row it, and we could go out and in Q ] short tim0 catch a tubfull of pike perch and pickerei.
 One day the men wanted to go out OH the lake, shooting muskrats. So party of three men, a, lady, a little boy and myself, went out. l rowed, so the men could shoot; and they had a dog 10 swim out and bring back the game We were so interested we did not mo- tice the clouds until we heard thun- der; and as we were at the further side of the lake we started for home; it did not seem more than i've min utes before the rain came down In tor rents. It rafned so hard 1t was like a thick fog, and we could not seC where we were going. The boat wal filling. so while two men rowed the others dipped out water.
 I had worn a hat that did not wan to get wet. 80 when the storm began I put it under the seat and tried tC keep it dry; but it was not long be- fore I was using my favorfte hat tt dip water with. It Is evident that th' boat was rowed in circle, as we were out in that storm three hours, try ing to find the landing. After reach ing the house it took some time tt get dry and warm, and the rain ha( run down the tlling chtmneys anf filled the stoves. After the storm wa! over the men skinned their muskratI and stretched the skins. These pelt when dry brought only one cent apiece
 At that time corn was worth te1 cents a bushel and oats fifteen. Ha! sold for two dollars a ton. We meas ured heads of herds grass that wer' fifteen inches long.
 Taken all together we had a pleas ant summer, but, Taking the year al round, my dear" We decided we pre- ferred the climate of Connecticut.

KIND OF RELIGION WE WANT.

Dear Editor and Sisters Social Cor ner: We want religion that softens the step and tunes the voice to melody and ills the eyes with sunshine and checks the impatient exclamation and harsh rebuke; religion that is polite deferential to superiors, courteous to interiors and considerate to friends: a religion that goes into the family and keeps the husband from being cross when dinner is late, and keeps the wife from fretting when the husband tracks the newly washed floor with his mud dy boots, and makes the husband mindful of the scraper and the door mat; keeps the mother patient when the baby is cross. and projects the honeymoon into harvest moon, and makes the happy home like a fig tree, bearing in it's bosom at once the beau ty of the tender blossom and the glory of the ripening fruit
 We want a religion that shall inter pose between the ruts and gullies and rocks of the highway of life, and the sensitive souls that are travelling over them.
 Balsam Fir: Card was received and l feel l am in touch with you. May we know each other better by and by.

HOW A SILK QUILT WAS MADE

Editor of Social Corner and Sisters: I found my young friend in tears with flushed face and discontented. Her sister. who lived a short ways from her, had a real down satin quilt, and Alice did so want to keep up with her; said she had saved every penny she could and pay their bills.
 I knew that she worked hard. So I said, I will help you to have a quilt as pretty and nice as Agnes has, fl you wish. We bought two remnants oi sateen (one of wood shades and tiny pink pin stripe, with pale grsen small vine running down lengthwise). six and one-half yards The other was grass green with small white flowers and very dark green tiny stripe-seYen yards,

4 CURE FOR GROUP AND DIPH.
 TERRA.

Dear Editors of the Social Corner: I send you this recipe for the cure of diphtheria. It may be help to some one-it is so easily tried for croup.
 It originated with Dr. Delthill, who reported the discovery to the French Academy of Medicine.
 He found that the vapors arising from liquid tar and turpentine would dissolve the fibrinous exudations which choke up the throat and are so preva- lent in cases of croup and diphtheria His method is described as follows: l6ws:
 He pours equal parts of liquid tar and turpentine into a tin pan and sets fire to the mixture: a dense smoke arises which obscures the atmosphere in the room. The patient, says Dr. Dehhill, immediately seems to ex- perience relief, the choking and rac- ting stop, the patient falls into a pleasant slumber and seems to in- hale the smoke with pleasure
 The hbrinous membrane soon be- comes detached and the patient coughs up mierooicides. In the course of three days after the patient entirely recovers.

HOPEFUL NEWS ABOUT MARS.
Astronomer Reach Cancellation that

Frum the New York Telegraph.
The astronomers have about come 10
the conclusion that the planet Mars is un-
inhabited. At least. they have no evil
dence that It is inhabited. There is some
reinsurance in this. One does not like
to think of Mas as inhabited. One likes
to think of II as a place one can go TO
escape inhabitants. Every place in our
world IS inhabited. There Is a railroad
UP to the top OF Jungfrau. There are
several American bars on the higher de-
cliyities Of the Matterhorn. You cannot
go for a walk under the Atlantic without
running into divers and submarines. The
Pacific is almost equally crowded. The
air Is infested with aviators. and buzzes
forever with wireless messages. He who
seeks for a lodge in some vast wilder

ing. cannot find II on this globe. Even
