Reading Matter Wanted.

have been an invalid for many years, alone and with life's shadows thick about me. I have felt so cheered by reading of these willing helpers that I thought I would write and ask if any of them have Spiritualistic literature, either pamphlets or papers, to spare. If so perhaps they would be good enough to pass them along to my address. You might mention mI wish and say that in happy lives it is scarcely possible to understand what this would mean to me even if the papers were worn and old. There is nothing of the kind in the public library here and luxuries Any articles on Spiritualsm will be most welcome. There is a sen- tence in the Church of England com munion service which you good people might adopt for motto: Turn not thy face from any poor and the face of the Lord will not be turned from thee.'
 L. c. C."
 So many different kinds of belief are numbered among the Cornerites that have little doubt that Spiritualistic read ing may be found to cheer this lonely soul. The verse she gives us is beautiful and seems especially appropriate to those many generous Cornerites who are all the time on the lookout to relieve neces- sity. Unfortunately for l.. c. G. she does not give any address save that of the hospital in which she abides and the name of small town. I hope she will see this and send word of enlightenment.

"I come to see if the Corner can assist me. have learned the gentle art of making rose beads from it. and now would be glad if some kind contributor of ways and means of doing things would send formula for making rose jars and pillows and also way of making oil or altar of roses at home in small way. would much appreciate if any one could give directions for one or all of these.
 "S. J. B." Directions for making rose jars have appeared so frequently in this Corner that in the present pressure of letters we do not feel that we can spare space for re- beating it. But have no doubt there are Cornerites who can give information on this and on other points concerning which inquiry Is made and shall be happy to send S. J. B.'s name and address to any one who can help her out with the for mulas she desires.

 APPLE SAUCE PIE.
 For thisthe pie crust must be baked sep arately. The best plan is to spread it over the inverted pie plate and put this Into the oven until the crust is a delicate brown. The tin should have been well sreased first, so that the crust can be re- moved, carefully. lest 1t should break. and placed in the bottom of the tin.
 For filling there should be well sea- soned apple sauce which has been put through vegetable press after cooking and beaten light with an egg beater. This is put Into the crust whipped cream spread over the top. and all served cold.

An Mpalid and Poor.

"I am an invalid and poor. I have myself and two children to take care of and I would so like to have something to do that would help. I cannot resist the temptation to write and ask for some clothes to make over, things that some one does not need or that the children have outgrown. I could make them over and dye them and I believe could sell some of them, such as I could not use I am sick so much that I cannot do a great deal and get so tired watching the children work. So if any one could help me I would be grateful and I would try to pay postage on anything that was sent me. MRS. F. D."
 I have had to draw the line strictly about asking for clothing, but this let ter appeals to me. as I hope it may to others The sick mother who longs to help her children touches me and I trust there may be a kindly response to her Joff

No Longer an Hpalid.

Since that time have im- proved greatly in health and am no longer an invalid. though am not yet quite able to work. At present I am on'a camping tour. and get all the fresh air possible to get anywhere. It will afford me great pleasure to write M. G, any experiences I have had during nearly two years of chasing the cure, and when get well and strong again I want to become Corner ite in real earnest and do something worth while. G. S."
 It is qualification to get such an ap- preciative letter as this and to find the writer SO eager to be of assistance to others. The letter he sent to be for warded to M. G. was directed and posted at once The record of this correspond ent Is like that of many others who have been helped by the Corner. am glad to print his acknowledgements of the kind nesses he has received.

Requests for Quill Pieces.

Three more appeals of like nature have come to me in this weeks mail. and I group them here together:
 "I see in the Helping Hand that woman offers silk scraps that she would like to give to some old lady to piece Into silk quilt. There is an old lady with lie who wants pieces badly. and he does such neat work that it is pleasure to see it. MRS. G. L." "I saw the offer of NJ.

Alum for Bedbugs.

With reference to the letter of E. J. K. let me say that have found strong solution of alum and water, boiled five minutes and applied to cracks while scalding hot. effective, as bedbugs can not stand alum.

 The best remedy can suggest is tho addition of borax to the water in which you wash your clothes. This will whiten the garments and will not injure them. Has any other housekeeper a sugges- tion to make which may be of value? I am sure the advice about the alum for bedbugs will be welcome
