have no part and if they are in public library at all you will find them tucked away in far corner. there be- ing no call for them; but they are sweet and reStful and if trifle over drawn, as some claim, and the char acters too perfect for any human be- ing, that is fault on the good side.
 Josiah Aliens Wife is ever popular, as with her beloved "pardner'' by her side she goes on pleasure exertions" here and there-and if the truth was told many pleasure excursions are more an exertion and a weariness than pleasure: and who that has read Will Carleton's poems hasn't smiled over Elder Lambs Donation Party, where Fall things unappreciated found that night their true vocation in that museum of relics known as Elder Lambs Donation"
 Not so many years ago a donation party used to be the way of helping the parish gathered together and gave him all the things they didn't want themselves, and that he didn't want either, but had to accept with such grace as he could. Then they ate up most of the eatables they had brought him, and went home feeling well and happy in their minds that they had done 8 benevolent deed. and at the same time got rid of a lot of stuff that was in their way and of no use to them; and why they should imagine anyone else would want 1t either is more than could ever be told. any more than we can tell why our an cestors always saved up and stored away every old and worn out thing, and filled the att1cs. and storerooms and cubby holes full of them to stun ble over and gather cobwebs and dust.
 They always said Don't throw 1t away, it may come in handy some time." It never did come in handy and no one ever really expected it would; but the old New England habit of saw ing every thing was strong. Perhaps now we go too far the other way and throw away too much-the pendulum swings from one extreme to the other and many of us being limited for house room couldn't stow away all the cast offs and discarded treasures if we wanted to, so that gets Us out of the habit.
 To those of the sisters who are roofing cuttings and transplanting seedlings. I would say that I have bed, which has decayed for several years, till it is black and spongy. It dries out quickly and needs attention and watering often especially in the open air, but I haven't lost a slip or plant set in it yet and they are grow ing in a very short time; fine chip dirt is also very good. Slips and seed lings need a loose, light soil that the tender roots can penetrate. I have started hundred little gloxinfas started from seed last spring nearly large enough to transplant into pots, and any number of musk plants in bloom also raised from seed.

REASONABLE RECIPES.

THE HABIT OF READING.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: It seems to me that I have read in the Social Corner letters and articles on every other subject under the sun except on reading.
 Surely in the large number of sis ters there must be some who are as fond of books as am, although per hapS I am unusually so, as l can't re- member the time when I didn't devOur everything that came in my way that was at all appropriate for children or young people and perhaps a good deal that was not; but "all was fish that came to my net and reading matter was not as plenty and as easily ob- tained as it is now; and I am afraid that the young folks of today do not appreciate their privileges in this age of many libraries, and when maga- zines and books from the great pub fishing houses arrive at our doors so easily by the many and frequent mails.
 Years ago the arrival of the weekly paper was an event. Nobody in coun- try towns thought of taking a daily newspaper and it wouldn't have been of much use to them, as the news would have been two or three days old before they ever got 1t, and even now in some remote places the box for the rural delivery is placed at some distance from the houses and not always visited every day and as I know well J library, although I have driven from three to five miles sometimes to one, and in bad weather and travelling at that; and all towns don't have them, although think they are few-at least hope so; and when it has been more convenient to go to one in an adjoining town than to the one where I lived I went to that.
 I have been very thankful many times that I was born with love for reading, for it has passed off a great many sick and weary and lonely hours that otherwise would have hung heavily on my hands. Many tedious and wakeful hour have I beguiled with the calm and peaceful stories of Rosa Nonchette Carey. or travelled in inn agination through stretches of Eng lish and Scotch country as depicted Tn William Blacks Strange Adven- lures of a Phaeton, or followed the canals of England in his Strange Ad- ventures of 8 Houseboat, and so vivid are his descriptions of scenery that we can shut our eyes and see it all like a picture before us,

TIMELY RECIPES.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Sis ters: I am glad you had such a pleas ant time at South Coventry Lake. I wish I had been there. I had a picnic there once and had a fine time.
 l am sorry, but I cannot help the sister who asked about preparing smoked halibut. and also, what to do for feather pillows or cushions that smell as if they were heated.
 I am sending in a few recipes which may be useful this hot weather.
 rangeade-Impregnat few Jumps of loaf sugar with the oil of orange by rubbing into them as much as you can readily from the rind of four oranges. Roll as many oranges as you design to use squeeze the juice, al- lowing eight to one quart of water Throw the skins into a half pint of water as you squeeze them let them stand short time, press them a little, and add this water to the other juice. The very highest favored oranges should be selected; and if not found sour enough to impart an agreeable acid. lemon juice may be added, with the caution that it must not be used freely enough to impair the distinct flavor of the orange.
 The oil should only be slightly rub bed from the oranges. Allow about one-half pound of sugar to the quart of orangeade.
 Grandmother's Sweet Cream Cake This is an inexpensive and palatable cake, and the recipe has stood the test of three generations of use. Place in cup two eggs well beaten, fill it up with sweet cream; add one cup sugar and one cup of hot water and two cups flour in which is mixed two heaping teaspoons of baking powder.
 I would be very glad if the sisters would kindly send in recipe for mak- ing elderberry wine.

GERMAN SAUERKRAUT.

Social Corner Editor: This is how to cook sauerkraut the German way: Take three quarts from the barrel wash twice in cold water, slice five pieces fresh pork, two pounds; lay in kettle, put sauerkraut on top. cover well with cold water, some pepper, no salt, cook slowly. We put warm vine gar in after done a little.
 Another way for summer time: Wash and put in kettle. simmer on back of stove about an hour, fry four slices lean salt pork, after you have freshened it a little by placing in spider with cold water and boilin~ up. Throw water away. fry pork crisp, cut in tiny bits, put sauerkraut on top, cover tight, stirring often for half an hour till quite brown. Serve with pork on top-quick and nice. J. E. T.

have good rubbers, put on covers with the fastener over them; but do not put down the last fastening snap, put a little coarse hay on the bottom of wash boiler. I think it's ten one quart jars I set in row at one time put in cold water, say a fingers length or little less from tops of jars. Set on stove and boil good for three hours, then raise boiler cover and put down the fastning snap and boil slow a few minutes; set off boiler to cool and then set jars in a cool, dark place. The good point in this way, if not all used they keep!
 I have no trouble. When wanted for use I pour off the water and boil; in preparing one can season to liking with butter or cream, pepper and salt; or boil with a few slices of pork and potatoes.
 A dozen or two jars don't come amiss in the winter. I have some now of 1912 just as nice as right from the vines. Put old towels be- tween jars when boiling.
 I must close. You can't guess the time of night. 1 sign this.

TIMELY RECIPES FROM JANET.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Is not this trying weather on the milk? In spite of the fact that we place it inn medtately in the ice chest on receiving it, we many times find it turning sour by tea time.
 Do not throw it away, for many ex- cellent dishes can be prepared from it. If you have but pint, place it on the back of the stove until the whey and curd separate, drain through a cheese cloth bag, squeezing out all the whey, add to this little butter and salt and If you have it q little cream to moisten, form into small balls between the palms of the hands and place in ice chest to cool thoroughly. Arrange crisp lettuce leaves on dish: on this place your cheese balls with a few strips of sweet red peppers, dust your cheese with paprika, and you have dainty dish that well repays you for your trouble.
 Sour Milk Graham Gems-One tea cup sour milk, one egg. one-half tea spoon soda, one-half teaspoon salt, two tablespoons of sugar, one and one-half tablespoons of melted butter; add gra- ham flour sufficient to make a batter so thick that it will not run from the spoon.

 Sour Milk Cookies-One cup butter. two cups sugar, two thirds cup sour milk, two eggs, one lemon rind and juice. one teaspoon soda dissolved in two teaspoons cold water, flour to thicl1en. Roll out and bake in quick oven.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Ones: Though a long time I have been ab- sent from the Corner I have been one anxious boy to read Saturdays pa- per.

 Penuchi-Three cups of brown sugar, one half cup milk, and butter half the size of a hens egg.

A sERvlcEABLE FLOOR PAINT.

Dear Editor and Friends: It is long time since I have written, but I have been quietly sitting in The Corner en- toying the letters and stories every week. I have been pleased to be of some service to the Social Corner do- ings, and I thank the writers for the mention of me. The stories are all so interesting.
 It was pleasing to know about the real picnic, and I am glad it turned out so good.
 Someone inquired about a durable paint for floors quite a. while ago and I was waiting to hear what others had to say about it. but did not see any answer. so I will say someone I know used deck paint such as is used on the decks of boats, and 1t worked all right.
 At this season we can have
 Creamed Cabbage-Boi1 cabbage two hours, or till tender, in salted water. Drain, mince the cabbage and add a cup of milk; when hot. thicken with & little flour wet with cold milk; add pepper and butter. Kohl rabi and on- ions may be served the same way.

The Vanished Cares.

The little cares that fretted me lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea- Among the winds at play: Among the lowing of the herds, The rustling of the trees, Among the singing of the birds, The humming of the bees. The foolish fears of what may happen cast them all away Among the clover-scented grass, Among the new-mown hay; Among the husking of the corn, Where drowsy popies nod, Where Ill thoughts die and good are
 born,
 Out in fields with God.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: 1 wasn't intending to write again for some time. There is saying: "A wise head makes a. still tongue;" but after reading the reports from those who enjoyed themselves so immensely at the real Social Corner picnic, the display of yellow, and the intense fn- terest the Bulletin and Editor showed make a day which will be long re- nlembered as one of enjoyment and pleasure; and the written reports rom each member were so enjoyable. The interesting letters from Glenwood and M. Roena, of whom we haven't heard in a long time were fine.
