HOMEMADE CANDIES.

Dear Social Corner Members: The youngest child will like to make a clove apple, such as his great-great- grandmother used as a sachet in bu- reau draws and linen closets, and as "a preventive against mildew and mold. Stick firm. ripe apple, without bruise or speck. as full of cloves, blossom end out, as possible. Set it in "a cool, airy place for a fortnight to dry. or even longer.
 Many people enjoy home made can '>dies better than those bought from the store. One reason is because they are pure.
 2 Sour Cream Candy: Cook three cup- ,'fuls of brown sugar and one cupfuI of sour cream until the syrup forms ball when dropped into cold water. ' Add Q piece of butter the size of a walnut, and one teaspoon of vanilla. Remove the mixture from the fire and beat 1t vigorously. Just before it is hard, add one cup of hickory nut meats. When 1t is partly cool cut into cubes.
 |" Fig Paste: Boil one pound of figs in two cups of water in covered saucepan, and be careful that the mass does not burn. When 1t is soft, -,press 1t through a rather coarse sieve Add three pounds of powdered sugar, pmix thoroughly, and cook in an un- covered double boiler until the mix -ture reaches the consistency of a smooth paste. Turn it into a dish, and set 1t aside to cool. When it is cold, cut it into small pieces, and on sa board dredged with confectioner's sugar, roll the pieces first into balls, .-then press the balls flat to make round ccakes, completely covered with sugar. sPack the cakes in boxes with plenty of sugar between the layers.
 Nut and Raisin- Dainty: Dissolve three cups of granulated sugar in one sCIln of milk and 1ef tha Yoixt-tra cnrno to boil. Add a piece of butter the size of a small egg. and cook with as little stirring as possible, until the syrup ropes when dropped from a Knife or spoon. When 1t reaches that point remove 1t from the fire, and stir half cup each of chopped nut meats lure until 1t begins to thicken, then pour 1t immediately into buttered pan. When 1t is cold. cut 1t into squores. The secret of success in ingredients carefully, Co avoid stir ring the mixture while 1t Is cooking as soon as you have added the the nuts and the raisins.
 :. Many people do not know that de- iicious candies can be made with our home-preserved fruits, such as:
 Tutti Fruitti crsam. Melt one pound of fondant in double boiler, add one teaspoon of vanilla or orange havor; then add one tablespoon of strawberry preserve, using only the berries, one tablespoon of preserved or candied pineapple, and one table, spoon each of peach and pear pre- serves. The addition also of a tea spoon each of candied orange and lemon peal will improve the mixture When partly cool pour into a mould

THE GLADIoLus AS A CUT FLOW.

Editor of The Social Corner: I can endorse all that L. H. K. said in praise of the gladiolus. Lemoine. the celebrat- ed French f1oriculturist first showed it's susceptibility to hybridizatien and brought out @ striking variety of bright coiored flowers; and MT, Grof. the Canadian began to experiment with !lt and brought out the Vigorous largs waxy looking blossoms of which America Is one of the best types.
 The gladiolus natures better in the house as a cut flower than any other and cut the moment the first bud opens it keeps in splendid form from ten days to two weeks, opening every flower. This makes it flrst-class as table fiower-second to no other bloom.
 Thore are hundreds of varieties and the flower has a growing Hist of admir-

the wound (the side of the wound to- wards the heart). Wash the wound with pure water: bring the parts to- gether as neatly as possible and band age.
 For a bruise: Paint with arnica, if the skin is broken apply cloths wrung out of hot water.
 In all cases send for doctor first, but there are times when you can't get a doctor. and you will find this more than a help.
 Frost bites: Rub the affected part with snow or ice; avoid sudden heat.

University Ofs Vermont Gains
Students.

A compilation of figures made at
the University of Vermont shows
that since the beginning of the col
lege year September 20, 1915, there
have been enrolled 997 students. Of
these students 81 or 81 per cent
were residents of Vermont. Of this
number 346 were students of the
summer school. The actual attend
ance at the summer school was 361,
but Is of these students had been
enrolled previously during the year
as students in some of the regular
departments of the University. The
number of summer school students
registered from Vermont was 81 or
Sc per cent.
When President Benton assumed
his duties five years ago, he expressed
the hope that the University might
have an enrolment of 1000 students.
During the past year this number
has been approached so closely that
his desire may be said to have beer
fulfilled.

Could we put stop to gossip by retuslhs to listen to it?
 This is a point on which I would like the opinion of the Cornerites? Not woman of you but has her Judgment on the subject. What would be your experi- ence among your friends if you refused to listen to unpleasant gossip that was brought to you?
 I do not mean that you should rebuff the talebearer unkindly. Possibly she would have no malice in her thoughts when she came to you with an account of the unhappy marriage relations of so and so, of the extravaganza of Mrs. Blank or the tendency to dissipation of MT. Blank, or lament upon the manner in which this or that neighbours children were al- lowed to run wild, or a tale of the care lessness of 8 certain young girl in her demeanor towards young men. If you snubbed her sharply, or even read her a lecture on the evils of gossip, she might close her lips to you, but she would carry her story somewhere else, where it would have @ more hospitable reception.
 Nevertheless, no matter how gently you TSlQSeu lO llStSil tO hCi ACPoi et OfSii n y NN tried to point out to her with supreme tact that 1t would be kinder to those in volved to keep quiet the details of their misdoings, am afraid that you would only wound her, make her feel you un- sympathetic and perhaps self-righteous and have no real effect in checking her disposition to talk about her neighbors. There is no doubt that no one wishes to be corrected when she is in possession of an interesting tale. She comes to you for sympathy, for wonder, for comment not for recti1cation or rebuke, no matter how kindly this Is administered
 So the conclusion to which have been forced, after all my deliberations, is that we cannot hope to do much more than follow the example set of old by the dwellers in Jerusalem, when each man kept the street clean in front of his own door. If we would set ourselves stead fastly not to gossip. to repeat no tales we hear that are not those of kindness, never to carry unpleasant comments from one person to another, never to spread un- savory reports we would do much to- wards checking gossip and introducing reign of kindly speech.
 always listen politely when some one brings me piece of gossip" said friend to me when I was telling her of my per plexity on this matter. I don't snub the teller, but let her talk herself out. Then remark that it is unfortunate such stories should get about, that regret the circumstances of which she has told and I change the subject, gently but de- cidedly If she tries to adhere to it. I say that know so little of the affair that don't feel in position to discuss it, and talk of something else. The plan gen erally works!"
 What do you think of it? And what do you do in like conditions?

 That's the worst of it; was Irever thought of putting in protest against the story until l bad heard all there was to tell It makes me ashamed of myself"
 ' Probably you would have listened just as intently if it had been q good re- port" suggested some one soothlngly.
 It wouldn't have been as interesting if it had been pleasant" put in another incisively. And at the eXclamations of protest she went on:
 Suppose l come in and tell you how happily our dear friend, Mrs. John Smith, lives with her husband; how they are most congenial and have the same friends and go everywhere together By the time I had talked about it for five minutes you would be swallowing yawns. But if l had a tale of how MT. Smith comes home drunk Saturday nights and chases his poor wife out into the snow, or beats her with his walking stick, you would all be crazy with excitement and want to know everything that happened and almost forced me to make up details if I didn't have any that were spicy enough"
 " That's true' remaked the first speaker. " The everyday matter of fact, agreeable happenings don't have many thrills about them.'
 Who was that Frenchman who said there was. something pleasant to us in learning of the misfortunes of our friends?" asked some one else.
 It was a nasty, cynical thing, don't care who said it." commented another. " All the same, there's degree of truth In it. We may not like to hear of other people, bad luck, but we want to know all about it.''

 regret to say that have not the ad- dress of Mrs G. M. M., but should think remedies enough have appeared on this page to sweep the country free of the pests. My own prophylactic is borax, mixed with red pepper. This may be mixed with wet soap and smeared on the under side of shelves. Cloves scattered about the Ashelve1 will sometimes drive ants away, since they seem to dislike strong, spicy odors. Have you followed all of these persistently? Once the ants are in the house they cannot be scattered in day and long siege is sometimes required before the premises are rid. of them. Begin in time next spring.
