THE VASE oF coAL.

Those who gre competent to judge tell us that the average householder doesn't know how to run a furnace or a steam heater and because of this shis winter-or seven million dollars worth
 eve are indicted of not half of us knowing how to properly shake the grate. and evidence of this is the good coal in the ashes which has no ex- euse for being there Fresh coal and big clinkers in the ash pit show these experts who violently break up the fire instead of shaking out the ashes gem tly and taking out of the ash pit an almost imaginable powder. which is the evidence of the grate shakers effi- ciency.
 "These experts call attention to the fact that the fire should be shaken down only once in 24 hours. usually at night at the last firing, and that the check to the fire should be by the cold-air draught box. not by the open front door. or the partially raised covers of a range The effect of the cool the iron of the boiler over the fire pot and to chill the top of the stove. hence new firing is made 1ec- essary and some delay caused in re- newing the heat lost in this way, Closed stoves and furnaces with the roId-air or back draueht open, is the economical way of running fires
 "A Norwich man who has followed the plan feels sure 1t saved him two tons of coal the first winter: and he does i. now as a duty. for 1t pays him well. If little knowledge and a lit tie care will save the average family man 20 per cent. of his fuel bill, he ought not to be long in correcting hfs erroneous ideas of how to run a | range, furnace. or steam heater."

TAUGHT TO MAKE THE BEST OF
 EVERYTHING.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I enjoy your lettere.
 Many thanks to Interested Reader for nice calendar. It hangs by my dressing case, a daily reminder of passing time and of age progressing, seems to say employ the moments as the hours pass by
 My house of clay feels the infirmities of age; the spirit of the soul that dwells within is young, bright and active, in hopes of the future was never taught to have the best of ev- erything, but to make the best of everything have, and to share it with others who had not; and as I read the pages of the Social Corner from week to week my prayerful thoughts arise for unity and peace to dwell with the Editor and his numerous Social Corner family
 l am glad to welcome the younger members. As the oNler ones pass away they look to them to keep the good ship sailing in the Social Corner.

a palace to Arthur. The cellar was |clean and dry.
 Arthur gathered fuel from across the road and his mother soon had com her funds Mrs Curtis found she had sf6.00 of her prize left. besides her $6 salary and Arthurs 50 cents paper profits. so she felt sure of comfort for some time to come. After lunch she called at the Brown home and found rfed son and his family. and after telling them something of her story was assured of their sympathy and help if needed Mrs. Brown sold her oil for her lamps and gave milk, but ter and potatoes for a start. Arthur could attend school with the Brown children and MT. Brown would do her marketing in the village and there would be no trouble in getting to the church Sundays
 Mrs. Curtis hurried home to un- pack and air bed linen and quilts, hang white curtains at the windows, and also to find house dresses and kitchen aprons that had been her mothers.
 Life took on new meaning as the weeks went by. but 1t was with gen. uine relief that she read of the arrest and sentence of three years in prison of Dan Curtis for assault
 I MT. Brown wrote to the warden of the prison and later visited the same and succeeded in having an earnest talk with the man who said he had not got friend either on earth or in Heaven, and never had one except his wife before she found him out After that there was a card each holiday and an occasional letter tc cheer him (but never a mention of his wife or son) until his punishment end ed one winter day and he was handed a ticket and letter of directions il he wanted work and friends
 Mr. Brown was at the station and as they came in sight of the large farm colony he turned onto a cross road and stopped at a cottage. There was fire in the air-tight stove, plants in the windows, cheap But pretty pie lures on the walls. cot on the cush-

BROWN BEES WAY OF PREPAR-
 ING CHICKENS.

Social Corner Sisters: May Brown Bee join your ranks once more? l hear occasionally of your gatherings and I wish I might be near enough to come, too; and to know each one of you personally.
 I received the calendar, and l thank Interested Reader for it, though l don't think deserve to be remembered. The Cuban hut is very interesting and pie turesque in the picture, but for a per manent home should prefer Maine like our delightful summers-one never experiences uncomfortable heat here. Our trees are mostly fir and in winter they take the baroness and bleakness from the landscape, which a leahesS tree cannot. So many seem to have the impression that Maine is a cold. snow-bound place, and that by the time we get shoveled out from our last spring snow. the fall snows begin. We have much less snow here on the island than on the mainland.
 I am sending a few recipes which I hope some of you will try. This is my favorite way of cooking chicken:
 l wonder if any of you use toothpicks and white string to close the openings in roast chicken instead of the usual thread and needle method? It requires about four or five toothpicks placed horizontally across the opening so that the ends pierce through the flesh on both sides. Place string over the two points of first toothpitck, cross. Rut thread over the second points, cross, and continue until the last one is reached, then tie. When string is re- moved. simply pull out toothpicks-
 chiekent Friesasee-Cut up chicken as for boiling. Wipe each piece, sprinkle with salt and pepper, roll in flour and brown in butter. Remove to saucepan, cover with boiling water which has first been poured into fry ing pan. Simmer until tender Take out chicken and arrange on platter. Reduce stock to one pint to be used for sauce.
 Melt one tablespoon of butter. add two tablespoons flour, one-hah tea spoon of celery salt, one-fourth tea broth and one teaspoon lemon juice, gradually, and cook until smooth;s add one cup sca1ded cream to mixture and pour slowly over one well beaten egg; stir well. Pour hot sauce over chicken.
 Mexican carameIs-Put one cup of white sugar into pan and melt When melted add one cup milk. Stir until smooth; add one cup white sugar, one cup brown sugar: cook until soft ball stage; beat, adding vanilla and butter the size of a walnut, and one cup of chopped walnut meats.
 Fudge cake-One and one-half scant cups of sugar, one-ha1f scaEt cup but ter, two eggs. one and one-half squares of chocolate, one-half cup milk, one and three-fourths cups of flour, two teaspoons cream of tartar, one tea spoon soda. two teaspoons vanilla and one-hah cup boiling water, added last. Bake in three layers.

 Dear Editor and Sisters of the Cor ner:-A new conner hopes she will be welcome.
 Nothing is so beautiful to me as a window full of plants and blossoms. If your plants look sick1y, give them a little plant food; and a teaspoonful of ammonia in a pail of water when you water them. This will make the leaves nice and green
 To get rid of the little white worms that get in the flower pots, I kill the little flies on the outside of the pots. have ridden my flowers of the lit tie pest for several years.
 As for palms they want a good hght-but no hot sun; and they must be taken from the jardinier when watered and thoroughly drained be- fore replacing that there be no mois- ture in the jardinier. Once in while shower them. A bit of plant food now and then helps.
 Cigar stubs broken in small frag- ments have an excellent effect on a rubber plant.
