"RECoLLECTIONS."

High on the mountain shivered and
croucned,
In the silenc> after the cannon's roar,
For the enemy now was sacking the
town,
But the brave fight was wagering ~
fierce as before.
Many years have passed. but I re.
member well,
The dreadful slaughter. the roar and
the smoke,
The soldiers were fighting so bravely
Before through their lines the enemy
broke.
Again on the hillside I stand and gaxe,
ON the tiny village that cluster around
The little cathedral that stood even
thea,
But now. there reigns piece profound.
Memories ccme OF long,
Memories so sweet and memories sad,
OF time when the sun seemed to
CLEAN so bright,
And birds sang and all things seemed
SO glad.
The cathedral bell sounds on the
breeze,
And the people flock at the sound Of
the bell,
And as the throng hurry on their way.
] join them. with sadness my heart
seems to swell.
And / think Of the time when I went
to. school,
The last sad morning. when the mag

out of glass jars.
Last year was my first attempt to
can asparagus. l did not lose a jar
prepared it by breaking into tender
lengths. washing well to remove sand
or grit, and boiling in an open kettle
for ten minutes to blanch it. l poured
this water off, packed it in jars, TAX
ing care to arrange it so as to look
as attractive as possible, filled the jars
to the brim with water, added one
teaspoon of salt to each quart, put
the jars in a large boiler and boiled
for three days-one hour each day.
l cooked lima beans, string beans and
mixed vegetables the same length OF
time and did not loose jar. Canning
by this method steriliza-
tion-is not so much trouble as it
seems. Putting up few jars each
day means a full shelf at the end of
the season. The vessel takes up but
little room on the range, SO It does
not interfere with the preparation of
dinner and the same fuel does it all
