Letter From Flat Rock School.

What wonderful meaning these
words have: Good morals" There
is no one who does not desire to be
admired; vanity or not it seems to
be natural. think myself it is too
bad to be all the time thinking and
not to try to make some return
for the benefits received, so | will
now rise up out of my little corner
of comfort and let you all know
I am country boy. I know what.
it is to farm and we boys who work
on the farm have much time we
should give to our great Creator,
the Father of all. He put each one
of Us here for great purpose. The
thing for us to do is to put our
minds to work and find what that
purpose is and by all means bring
ourselves up to it. So, fellow, let
us strive to get a good education
and live higher lives, keeping all
this in mind. Don't let US curse,
drink, gamble or visit places we
would not have mother or sister go.
Let US not quarrel. Be kind to the
loved ones at home, for they are our
dearest friends. Always honor your
parents. Decide on your vocation in
life and strive to walk worthy of
it. Sing sweet songs. A beautiful
song some times touches q tender
chord in hard heart. Always strive
to stay in the right path. Our work
will live after us. Then let US make
a record pure and bright that will
lead Others in the paths of right.
Well, fellow pupils, will not
worry you much longer but must
say to all back to SCHOOL, The
summer months have passed away
and fall is here. We turn our
thoughts back to school. Ding, dong,
the bell again is heard as it rings so
loud and clear. 1t brings to US the
thought that school time is here
again. Miss Scott is our teacher.
We all love her and she loves us.
She has no pet in her school rooms.
To our sorrow 80 many of our cous-
ins, aunts and brothers are to leave
us but some day we may greet them
again. | will close with all good
wishes to my fellow pupils through.
out the county.

it. Many mothers have passed nights

VALUABLE HINT ON SEWING
Little Tip That VIII Make Sewing Of
Lace Around Circular Piece Of
Cloth Easy.

For sewing lace around a circular
piece of cloth, some preparation Of
the lace is necessary. Here is one
woman's way: Roll the lace into a
tight roll and sew down the end with
few basting threads. Stand the roll
In shallow dish Of warm water just
dep enough to cover the edge that is
to be sewed on the goods; let it stand
In the water three or four minutes;
II left too long the water will soak
up and wet the whole roll, which is
not desired. When the edge for half
an inch or so (on wide lace) or as
deep as desired, Is well wet, take out
of the water and leave in the roll un-
til thoroughly dry. When 1t is dry
and unrolled the edge which was in
the water will have shrunk so the
lace will curve around and lend itself
readily to the round edge of the
goods, requiring no fulling on, az
otherwise would have to be done.

LentlI OmeIet.

Cook half gill of lentils in stock or
sailed water till tender and drain
them. Melt two tablespoonfuls of but.
ter in a saucepan, fry in it a peeled
minced shallot, put in the lentils. and
fry for few minutes. Moisten with
two or three tablespoonfuls of brown
sauce, season with pepper and salt
and keep hot.
Break six eggs into a basin, beat VI
well with two tablespoonfuls of milk
or cream, season with salt or pepper
and pour into an omelet pan contains
ing about two tablespoonfuls of butter
(hoD. Stir over the fire with fork
till the mixture begins to set Spread
the cooked lentils over the omelet and
fold in the sides 1t it take color, a
nice golden brown, and turn out care
fully into a hot dish. A little tomato
sauce may be poured round the base
of the dish if liked.

Economical sunnestlona.

The best and simplest way of test
ing silk is to cut off small piece of
the silk and burn 1t. If it burns out
quickly, leaving a cleaf, crisp, gray
ash, the silk is pure; but If it smoul.
ders and leaves a heavy reddish-brown
ash 1t has been treated with chemicals
and will not wear well.
If piece Of elastic is used to lace
up the back of the corsets, instead Of
the ordinary lace, wearers will find
great ease, as the elastic expands
freely with every movement of the
body, giving greater comfort. also
making them wear much longer.
When a dark serge suit or dress
has become shiny looking with wear
sponge it with hot vinegar and press
it in the usual way. No odor of vine
gar will remain, the shine will disap
pear and the articles will be much
improved in appearance. The vine
gar will leave no stain.

TO MAKE ENGLISH PANCAKES

mended When cooked, roll up the
pancake, sprinkle with sugar, and put
1t into the oven till the rest are cook

to tabe with cut lemon to squeeze

BROWNING AND SUFFRAGE.

Robert Browning was at one period
of his life an enthusiastic advocate
Of votes for women. 'sHe approved
of everything that had been done for
the higher instruction of women"
writes his biographer, Mrs. Snther-
land Orr, "and would, not very long
before his death, have supported
their admission to the franchise.
But he was SO much displeased by
the more recent action of some of
the lady advocates of women's rights
that, during the last year of his life,
after various notifications of opin-
ion, he frankly pledged himself to
the opposite view" At one time, it
appears, Browning contemplated
writing a play in support of the
movement. Had this design been
carried into effect, Miss Elizabeth
Robins would have been anticipated
by about twenty years.

WITH ONE HOOK AND EYE.

Some clever and practical dress
maker in Paris has invented a gown
made all in one and fastening with
one single hook and eye at the back
of the waist. This is one of the most
ingenious and interesting inventions
of the hour. The ordinary dressma-
ker inficts upon her clients a great
number of fastenings, whether hooks
or buttons or patent "clickers," a
capital word invented for them by a
mere man and Ineligible to every
woman.
But the new invention dispenses
with all but one strong fastening al
me back. One is into the gown in
half a moment, and out of it almost
as speedily. The gratitude Of wom-
en- all over the world is due to the
clever inventor.

STOCKING Holes.

Very often holes are worn in stock

of clinched tacks in the heels of shoes,
uncovered by worn lining, also the

worn. Cut a piece Of close-textured
goods the right shape and paste over
the roughness. A very good and cheap
paste is made by mixing little -four
