THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: There is nothing more interesting and import ant than the training of tl.C children. Eut parents usually start about it with wrong ideas and in the wrong way, not realizing tha. the young child is just q person With all the in stincts of habit, patie1ce. love, hon. esty, etc. aad with al, the opposite qualities of mind. too; and that the habits which we have permitted him to form.
 He is little foreigner, anxious to learn our language and customs. Use him politely and help Tim to learn the ways and wishes of grownups, but don't punish and scold him because he does not understand, or because being chilG he 'did not think"
 Re will learn many things from our motions and actions aid looks of pleasure or disapproval long before he can understand our words. rights of others. This is mothers, These are baby's playthings He will soon learn softly" for all fragile 1 things, or not to handle them much.
 The baby should be just pleasant member of the family, not general nuisance, as some are trained into | the habit of teing.
 Any way that seems to make him selfish or cross and impatient is wrong. Try other ways until you find the right one for that child and age.
 You will not have much trouble witf an older chtid if he has been proper lv taught when small to respect the rights of others, as: Tt is not manly, or it is not womanly to do that" is all you need to say to rem'nd him. Many children arc never taught tt think and to reason at every question in fair minded. reasonable manner This is why we meet ar,ti suffer iron so many unreasonable men and wo rlen. who are governed by prejudice Impulse and personal feelings, insteat of by thoughtful and c1reIul consid eration.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I know. you will all be surprised to hear for me. We'll I am surprising my self.
 Do you know chopped prunes are good substitute for raisins?
 When combining milk and tomatoes in cooking, you will avoid curdling if you dissolve a pinch of soda in the milk before blending the two.
 Cake without butter requires quick oven; with butter, a mod crate oven.
 If you boil rice in water for 10 min utes before making a rice pudding, less milk is needed.
 A whole egg well beaten and placed in the soup tureen will give body to d soup when the stock is a little thin; pour the hot soup into the egg grad ually and stir. To remove seeds from cranberries before cooking, cut them in halves place in 9 Colander and let the cold | water run through them steadily for a | minute of two. When boiling sweet potatoes, have 1 the water bubbling hard when they are | dropped in so that they will not be i soggy.
 Table salt and cream of tartar, equal 1 parts, will remove rust strins. Wet 1 the sponge and spread mixture or 1 thickly, then place material in the sun
 Finely powdered starch applied tc the hands after washing will prevent chapping.
 When baking potatoes, grease then first with little butter, and wher cooked they will be beautifully brown ed and crisp, with the glazed appear ance that makes them so appetizing. 1 Two tablespoons of powdered sugal | to the white of one egg makes a goo( meringue.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I read with much interest Aun. Mary's let ter relating her experience in fighting the fire which came so rear destroying her home.
 1 am firm believer in prayer, for The Father has said: "If ye shall ask anything in Ny name I will do it' He also says: "Not sparrow falleth to the ground without the Fathers mo- tee" I believe He wants us to bring all our perplexities and tc;aIs to Him however small. and He will help us bear them.
 Life is made up of snal! things and many times we find the seemingly small troubles harder to hear than the greater ones. r tell iI!rns all my cares and whatever troubles come to me He gladly with me shares" Some one has asked for a recipe for Eincerbread and molasscs cookies. will send mine. also one for quick laX- CT cake:

 When the tables and everything was nicely arranged, chaAS placed, coffee and tea breWed, and the Sisters all given & hearty welcome. and every thing seemed in good order, the Sis ters all having arrived and formed around the long tables, singing before seating themselves Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow Aunt
