Looking Through e Car Window
By MRS. J. B. REID

It does ones heart good to get up carry in the morning, between 5 and o'clock, and ride in on one of the suburban street cars.
 In the first place the air is so fresh and pure, the due sparkles on the lawns and the shrubbery is fresh and green some branches bending with bloom.
 But the best of all is a splendid array Of men and women mounting the cars on their way to their jobs. With few ex- captions you can see they carry their lunches for the noon hour with them, and often they carry a fresh-cut bouquet to express in more than words a memory of some courtesy-something that has been pleasant to them. These early riders ali seem to expect each other it is habit to ride together and they are in good humor as they jolt along
 As the car winds it's way to the city you catch glimpses of another set of men-possibly office men-who have gone out Tor exercise at game of tennis, ana are hurrying home for a breakfast with a fine appetite and in fine physical con dition for a good days work.
 When the car reaches the city and un- loads it's human burden among the slumberers, for here some folks seem asleep at so early an hour; one can easily realize how much of nature is life out of the life of people who sleep late, who take life leisurely and feel no need of stirring. These people are tired before the day is begun-they have had no in- yigorating influences-their blood does not circulate and they eat their morsel Of

breakfast as form, and wander to their offices as a matter of business.
 Sleeping late is fascinating habit, even if the dreams are not all good, but the habit of early rising seems to create q vim that stirs things, puts the people in a better humor, and gives a vigorous in- terest to their duties. A 10-cent car fare on an out-of-town ride and back again is well invested. It's a good time to peep over the fences into the back yards and gardens and see what the folks are do- ing. See the things growing and bud ding and blooming-it makes you want to example, and the right kind of example is what the world needs.
 The times demand action-intelligent energies Even the trees are putting forth their best and their branches are shading the smaller plants that they in turn may thrive and bear their fruits and graces. lt behooves the world to look around among the people for lessons of thrift, of good sense and happiness. These do not grow on our streets and avenues alone; they are strewn on the highways, often the byways, where the simple folk live. There you see life unaffected, clothed in natures habits and garlands; there you pluck the sprouts that grow out of the soil-the wild plants-they speak of the purity of the country, the wealth of the soil-it's joy to ride by and see them on the wayside Every little weed peepins through the sands of Mother Earth car ries message of resurrection. Some thing has been planted to give 1t birth thus the little good we do lives through our days-after we are no more they spring forth lasting tribute to our hay ing been.

Scrapple

T saw an inquiry with regard to scrap pie in your Corner and answer if. Phila- delphia scrapple, as l have always called it. is made this way in Philadelphia: Three large pork hooks boiled until ten der. Remove the outer skin and put through meat grinder. Have the liquid in which the meat was boiled boiling, and season with salt and pepper, also sage Then put in the ground meat, and while still boiling slowly add corn meal until it is like much for frying. Pour into mold which has been rinsed with cold water, to keep it from sticking. and when it is cold slice and fry in drippings to a nice brown. Fry slowly. l have tried using sausage in place of the hooks. but it is not nearly as good. Mother learned how to make 1t many years ago in Philadelphia. I have had the pleasure of sending copies of
 Faded Flowers to many correspondents. It is a pleasure to do what little I can for the Corner. ELIZABETH $. sts
