Tiny Enqiish Church.

The smallest church in England q,
Fairfield, Romney Marsh, was visited
recently by the archbishop Of Canter
bury. The building, an ancient one, is
isolated in a meadow surrounded by
water. The six painted box pews were
filed with visitors. The primate
preached from a high pulpit, and his
head nearly touched the oak beams.

THE MAKING OF FRUIT BUTTER

Editor and Social Sisters: Someone has asked how to make apple butter. Apples are plenty and if one has the time and patience the following is good-an old-tiu1em rule:
 Apple Butter.-One gallon of boiled cider, half bushel of tart, juicy ap- pies, use GreeningS, Baldwins, or any kind that will cook tender quickly. If you cannot buy bottled cider, procure some sweet cider, fresh from the press, and boil it down in a. porcelain kettle to half the quantity Quarter the ap- pies, remove. the skins and cores, and cut in small pieces, cook the apples in the boiling cider, putting in as many as the cider will cover. When the apples are soft, skim them out and add more until all are cooked. Then mash them as soft as possible, and put all together again in the cider, cook very slowly until thick like marnalade. Stir often with a large wooden spoon Or smooth fiat stick, being very careful not to let them burn or stick to the kettle.
 New England housekeepers used to have 6 paddle or stick expressly for stirring fruit butter. An easy way to make this delicious old-time dish is to put 1t into stone jars or enameled ware and cook in the oven when you can have a slow fire for a long time. If you wish the apple butter to have a spicy flavor, you may allow one tea spoonful each of cinnamon, grated

WHAT IS THE VIRTUE OF FAST
 ING?

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: have been interested in what has been said upon fasting for health by The Crank and other writers in The Corner. and I have noticed some of our devout sisters have been inclined to roke fun at abstinence. If fasting is ridiculous, I wonder why fasting and prayer are so often spoken of in the scriptures; or if fasting two or three weeks causes person to be regarded as a crank what these people think the Saviour lasted forty days for, or for nearly six weeks.
 It seems to me when the scriptures couple fasting and prayer, fasting has something to do with spirituality as well as prayer, and that it should be the desire of those who are seeking for truth to know what the relation of fasting to prayer is. ~
 There is no getting away from the fact if we believe the scriptures that there is virtue in fasting and if we do not know what it is. why shouldn't we be in earnest to find out?
 Those who have lasted tell us it not only reduced their flesh, but increased their comfort by overcoming their physical infirmities; that 1t gives a consciousness of power never before possessed.
 If I remember alright Dreamer told us about the true hunger which comes in the mouth and the false appetite which gnaws at the. stomach, discOv- cred by fasting. It seems to me it is knowing ourselves as never before to be able to recognize the Saviour Hunger, from the Destroyer, Appetite!
 It was a part of, the early Christians S code to fast as well as pray: but ap petite has so lenamored JUS that we scout at mans old benefactor and we stuff our stomachs and cloud our minds.
 tty to cultivate an open mind and to be capable of recognizing every thing that is good. No tribe or sect or class has a monopoly of the truth truth is truth, whatever it's source
 believe moderation in all things opens the mind for knowledge of many things.

GIRLS CLUB ROOM.

When the Girls club fitted up their room there had to be great deal of planning as there were only ten work ing girls and they could only afford 10 cents @ week dues. There was a room with steam heat they could have for S1 a-week in the home with a mothedly woman if they could man age to furnish it. They had been a club for a year. meeting at the diff ferent homes, but now they wanted a room of their own. Each had paid $2.50 to join and the dues had amount ed to $52. a total of s54.50. which the treasurer had deposited in her fathers safe each week as it was paid.
 An art square 6x9 feet, cost $1.75; three green window shades at "A cents, 72 cents, and muslin curtains for three windows at 3Sc each were $1.14 more. A table with a drawer and shelf was S25O and a little tabarette cost 3S cents. A tiny stove for making cuff fee, etc, cost SIPS. A little folding table was SS centts. A handsome book case. that would also hold china, etc, cost S6.98; eight plain kitchen chairs at 73c cost $5.S4 and four porch rock CTS at 9Sc, s3.e2.

VARIOUS WAYS TO SERVE
 OYSTERS,

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: As my first letter did not reach the waste basket, thought Il would make another attempt. as the oyster season has begun. I herewith send a few recipes for the same.
 Fried Oysters-Take large oysters from their own liquor into a thickfy folded napkin to dry them; then make hot an ounce each of butter and lard, in a thick bottom frying pan: season the oysters with pepper and salt; then dip each one into egg and cracker crumbs rolled fine, until it will take Up no more; place them in the hot turning them on both sides by sliding a broad -biaded knife under them. Serve them crisp and hot.
 Dry Oyster Stew--Take six to twelve large oysters and cook them in half a pint of their own liquor; season with butter and white pepper, cook for five minutes, stirring constantly; serve In hot bowls.
 Boston Fry-Prepare the oysters in egg batter and fine cracker meal; fry in butter over slow fire for about ten minutes: cover the hollow of hot platter with tomato sauce; place the oysters in 1t, but not covering; gar nish with chopped parsley sprinlkled over the oysters.
 Small Oyster Pies-For each pie take a tin plate half the size of an ordinary dinner plate. Butter 1t and cover the bottom with a puff paste. as for pies; lay on it five or six select oysters, or enough to cover the bottom; butter them and season with a little salt, a plenty of white pepper and spread over this an egg batter and cover with a crust of the paste, making small open ings in it with a fork; bake in a hot oven fifteen to twenty minutes, or un- til the top is nicely drowned.

DAMS AUTO RIDES.

Dear Social Editor: Mother Ship tons old prophecy about carriages
 without horses shall ride" I have been
 testing for many days. I have always
 been averse to these horseless carriag-
 es, for I had been jolted and jared in the, few rides I had taken and was afraid of them as of a mad bull lodging and running backwards if saw one in my vicinity; but now be- hold me- As brave as Julius Caesar! Instead of running away, I. run right
 into the arms of the big seven pas- senger auto, and we spin along the roads-not raising clouds of dust and not joy riding, but travelling with
 moderate speed, enabling us to see all around us, and also to be seen. The roads. are fine, the hills and valleys of Old Berkshire are beautiful, with their
 maple trees taking on the colors of
 the Rainbow-we pass through many
 noted towns-from Hinsdale the old
 Home town we pass to Dalton, where
 the government mills are located, which manufacture our bank note paper; such
 fine buildings and nice green lawns must be a source of delight to every employe.
 When a child always had a feeling of loneliness in passing through, as though I was at the end of the world fine public buildings and beautiful homes-and much of 1t due Ex-Sen- ator w. Murray Crane, who believed in building up instead of tearing down; on through Cheshire and Berkshire Adams and North Adams, great cot ton manufacturing towns-until we near the western end of the four mile Hoosac tunnel, and at the foot of Hoosac mountain-our steed is getting high minded, and seeing the new road being built, the Mohawk Trail" he chuckles, and starts to climb the noun tain-up and up, and around and around, now and then looking down to see the road we had just passed over some distance below on the moun- tain-side-on and on,. and up and up we go until we are between groups of laborers resting on the hillside under the shade of the trees and eating their lunch. Straightway we develop an ap- petite, and so under the trees we camp and away go sandwiches, eggs cake, fruit and grape juice-we are, or were good Templars, and are mindful of our temperance pledge-not wine or cider so our conscience is easy in regard to quenching our thirst with grape juice.
 On we go. and are soon at the sum- init of Hoosac mountain, and to our surprise the land Is quite level, vege- tables and grain growing, apple trees, some domestic animals, and some farmers at a distance. We wonder now they manage during the winter. Why! It must be a days journey to go down the mountain-then how about going up the mountain? That is problem too deep for me to solve
 We quickly descend the mountain. and are at the eastern portal of Hocsac tunnel, where a few short weeks ago I rode through behind the
