At last II take my pen in hand to inform
you" that I have thoughtimany times this
winter Of writing for the column, but. well.
what is the use to say why / did not get paper
and pen together
The hard winter is over and the grip gone
for this year, I hope. How many have been
looking forward TO just such days as this.
April l6 aud hoping for the return OF strength
and energy. AUNT Mary" her John and s.
J. Y. were among the grip victims, aud S. J.
Y.'s latest affection is lameness which seems
like siatica.
/ spent most of the winter in a Maine city
where did not mind the bad weather and
travelling as much as though had been at
home. enjoyed the privilege OF attending
church and Sunday school, lectures and
social gatherings, and always hearing and
seeing something new. Attended w. c. T.
U. meeting (this for "Deil"l and heard the
State president, Mrs. Quimby, whom had
known when living in the town next to :,er
home town. Also enjoyed a temperance
lecture by Mrs. Livingstone, Of Bangor. who
is noted for her orstory.
Wish could write out some of my .sun-
rise Impressions. Don't think ever had so
many beauties Of nature to look out upon on
awakening as had from my third story win
dow. The window faced south, SO could not
see the suns orb, but cid enjoy seeing the
beautifully tinted eastern sky. the effect OF
light and shade caused by trees and snow.
the broken sky line, etc. The whole picture
was not wonderful Of itself. bnt to look
out through an open window. from a
| comfortable bed. by just propping MP the
pillow bit, was an experience which seemed

look across to street with an unobstructed
view Of several rods, and see men hurrying
hither and thither to their days work. and as
| the hour grew later. "the women also" And
| so many times thought of something Aunt
Madge said to me at one Of the reunions. We
were speaking OF her daughter going tout to
| make a home of her own, and how much she
should miss her, but she said something like
| this:
..weli, that is what we bring them up for. to
| 60 out into the world to do the worlds work.
| Some day when have to write for theicslumn
| think I shall write on the World'sl work.
Don't think she has ever written sat length
| on the subject, but believe she didlsay some
| thing on it once. Well, used to think out
| quite lengthy sermons on the worlds wonk',
| and of being OF use in the world, while watch
1 ing so many hurryiDg on to = busy day,
many Of them carrying dinner box pail,
| most of them going toward the city, while
| some were going to the wooden mill near by.
| You see was not doing much Of the worlds
work, and that is why had.so muchItin.e for
| meditation.
| Have bnen interested in Indigestion talks
this winter, for we are all sure TO have tronble
sooner or ister. 1t is true that "vhat Ii one

| Let me suggest two simple remedies for .
| nauseated stomach. Dissolve a seant tea
| spoonful Of soda in half glass OF water and
take q teaspoonfui every ten minutes. This
may be followed by. light nourishment, per-

| the stomachc can be settled with meal water.
| Pour two cups OF hot water mot boiling) over
q tablespoon Of meal and let settle. Pour OF
the water and put in as much salt as is palata-
BILE, and drink = portion Of it, and if that re-
| mains quiet. repeat in fifteen minutes.
| Now we will say the patient is sufficiently
| recovered to have orange. Boil ose for
| FIVE minutes and see bow easily it is skinned
I
| best when fat on my back was to have the
whole orange cut thin across the sections.
| Now we will have egg toast. Drop an
| egg in about half cup of hot milk till the
| white is set and pour all q slice OF hot
| toast. You will ind this easier than drop
ping the egg in water, and very nice unless the
| boiled milk is Objectionable.
Now III give you few birthdays, and then
! see what portion of the worlds work awaits
me. Do you have Aunt Maria's on January
| 1872 Lyall April IA, Aunt Mary April "a, S. J.
