A Problem.

My little home is neat and bright, My little wife is charming, And nothing in our quiet life. Would seem to be alarming: But can no kind adviser give The aid for which I'm looking: I'm sure I shall a victim fall
 To DoIlyss love of cooking. She's tries each new recipe,
 When will the list be ended? And brings me something every day Which she declares is splendid! I kiss the pretty little cook, And try to look delighted. sTwould almost break her tender heart To see her dishes slighted. ghe'u say: Dear John. I'm sure you'll

She shook her pretty head and laughed, And made the frank confession: Indeed, I don't sir, all good cooks Just use their own discretion! "Of course. you can't expect, my dear, That luck will ever vary, The best of cooks will sometimes fail, And all things go contrary. I always keep the main idea; But where would be the pleasure If one must be forever tied
 To dresome weights and measure?" And now the mystery is solved Will someone please advise me What can be done to remedy The state of things that tires me? For I must eat what Dolly cooks Because I just adore her. Although she won't abide by rules And weights and measure bore heri

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: When you wish to cut neat squares of butter. wrap the knife blade in a piece of paraffin paper.
 A drop of sIycerine on pure linen will make the cloth transparent. If the material is adu1terated with cotton the transparent effect will not result from the glycerine test. Real linen wrinkles easily It should feel soft. heavy, smooth and 1eathery.
 Get a sample of silk at a store Take it home and burn it in a dish or pan, saving the ashes as it forms after the blaze dies away. If the ash is soft and only a small quantity left, the silk is pure. If the ash is harsh and gritty, it has been adulterated with metals. as possible; this makes them sweet and free from germs.
 Use wide nnouthed glass jars for rice and cereals that you do not buy a package of; paper bags soon tear and dust and insects enter unchallenged.
 If corned beef is to be served cold, allow it to cool in the liquor in which it was boiled.
 Tn heating the oven, the draughts should be closed when the coal is well started.
 The unpleasant taste of castor oil can be avoided by putting orange juice in the bottom of the glass, then very = of the glass and adding orange juice on top.
 Don't throw broken gas mantIes away; the material is excellent for cleaning gold and silver jewelry. Lay it on a piece of channels leather and rub briskly; a brilliant polish will result.
 Light colored suede gloves can be freshened in this way: Stuff the gloves with soft paper, then pour some spirits of turpentine into a saucer and apply little of this to them with a clean rag. Keep on rubbing and turning the rag until they are quite clean. Then hang the gloves up to dry.
 To extinguish flames from petroleum, pour milk over them and they will be put out immediately, for the milk forms an emulsion with the oil and prevents the fire from spreading.
 If you have old white crochet shirt waist buttons, sew them to the ends of your lingerie ribbons to keep them from slipping through the beading.
 Bands of linen for baking dishes, ecal1oped or cross stitched in some simple design, are good gift idea.
 To keep q merinsue from falling, dust the beaten whites of eggs with powdered sugar, then shake a little cornstarch over it. beat Squckfy again and spread on the pie.
 Kind regards to all

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
Awax With Your sadness.

Away with your sadness, Let care jog along, And innocent gladness Still measure your song. Why burden with sorrow Our few heeting days, With thoughts of tomorrow? Be happy always. If trials o'ertake you, Yield not to despair; Till courage forsakes you Each pain you can bear. There is one road to pleasure Which ever repays; -.Zould'st find out the treasurer Be happy always. Ne'er think the Creator Intended the face Should wear in each feature A sorrowful trace. Then mar not it's beauty, 'Tis he that obeys, Who holds this duty Be happy always.
