'whether he gets 'em or not. It Boesn’t Pay in the Long Run to be Greedy (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) There isn't much doubt about it, that we are all born selfish. Babies and wyoung children are always greedy little things. The baby wants everything! weithin reach, primarily to eat, but, if that instinct is fully satisfied, baby wants it, just the same. Wants it to throw away or break, if for no other purpose. And wants it for himself, Qdoesn't want anybody else to haveany- ghing: toys, candy, green appleshatch- ts or hot flatirons—all are peremptor- %y demanded by His Small Ma; A wnd he must have 'em if you want to avoid a riot. Very often, it'may be noted in passing, you have the riot St. Paul owns up that, when he was a child, he acted like one, as we all do; “But,” he goes on, ‘“when I became.a man 1 put away childish thing: That's where St. Paul gives us a hunch and sets us an example.

And the simple, sorrowful truth is that a whole lot of us have not yet arrived at manhood and womanhood 4n this matter of greed and selfishness. ‘We are still in the childish state where we want everything within reach— and a few hundred things that are out | of reach. “What do I get out of this?” That is the question which too many of us always ask first, when confront- ed with any new proposition. If there isn’t “anything it it” for us we lose interest very promptly. Worse than that we begin to nose around sus- piciously to ses who is going to get| @ lttle “honest graft” out of it.

But there wasn’t any special use in petting mad over the greed of some ©liticiana in some other dtate. These New York swine couldn't have got into the legislature unless the people had elected them.

It is the only law which childhood seems to know, But it isn't the only law which governs real manhood. Another law is that other folks must live, too, and have the right to get fo'r" themselves wherewith to live. “Me and “mine” are among the first words the baby learns. He is the center and circumference of his own little world. But manhood learns that the ind vidual is only one drop in the oceaf, and that the ocean is not only bigger but v more important than any single drop in it. If growing man- hood is accompanied, also, by growing sense it learns that the only safety for the individual is in the welfare of the mass. The single drop in the hugh, smooth ocean roller is reason- ably sure to keep wet as long as it When it starts out by itself to be a solitary, self-centered, down-looking drop of spray high on the cliff, it mighty soon dries up and stops being anything. | keep a saying of Elbert Hibbard's in one corner ny looking- “Those who never do any mo than they get paid for, never get paid for any more than they do.” But what shall be said of those who do less than they are paid for and then grumble because they are not paid more? Brethren, putiing it on the very lowest ground of materialistic expediencey, it doesn’t pay in the long run, to be greedy. We may get a lit- tle, temporarily, but we are dead-sure to lose eventually something of more value than anything our greed can get us. What time is it, please?” asked the junior partner in a big es- tablishment. The busy clerk up at the clock fromn his work and an- swered: “Two minutes of twelve, sir.” The junior partner smiled and passed on into the office. Next day, when the clerk was called in and given a better position at higher pay, he ceased to wonder why he had been asked the question. Every other em- ploye in room, at the time it was asked, had been elther washing hands or brushing hair or dusting clothes, or in some like way getting ready to “bolt” for the street, the minute the noon whistle blew. This particular clerk had been more intent on doing the work he was paid to do than on watching the clock to see how early it would be safe to shirk. “Live and let live" 't a bad mot- to. I believe in getting all that's com- ing to me, but, by George, I don't want what's justly coming to the other fellow! He has as good right to what's his as I have to what's mine, 1 I have a right to be just as as med of myself if I try to gobble up a part of his share as I have to get mad at him when he tries to capture mine a from me. We farmers aren’t all saints in this respect. I about like the rest -no worse, perhaps, but suspect we're of the bunch, not much better. It t only among politicians and business men that we find greed and graft and the desire to “beat”’ some one else. I know farmers,—and I'll bet u do, too—,who will study for weeks and lie awake o'nights to think up ways to get some unfair advantage over their neigh- bors. Like all other vices, easier to denounce this in other it is to cure it in ourselves. Never- theless, that salf-curing process is vastly the more practicable and use- ful. Moreover, it is a task which lies at our own doors and we can take it in and tend to it without having to hitch up and drive to town. It wasn’t a nice word, that which The Great Master applied to those who, with beams in their own eyes, es- sayed to remove the notes from others’ optics. But I guess it was about the right word.

A good audience greeted the boy preacher, Willie Haigh, 13 years old, of Boston, in the Seventh-day Baptist church Saturday morning. William Lawton of Providence, where the boy formerly resided, Superintendent of the Randall street mission, where he was converted, accompanied him and gave 4 short address. Taking for his sub- ject verses selected from John 15th chapter this boy gave a plain state- ment of Chrigtian truth calculated to { touch the hearts of all his hearers. One of the most admirable chacteris- tics of the boy’s preaching was that he did not aspire to appear a man but was content to bear his message in a boyish manner. He is probably the youngest preacher on this continent if not in the world. Sale of Taylor Estate. Lewis F.

The Proper Use of Water. Editor Social Corner: The use of water is a simple thing, and yet it is doubtful if one woman in a dozen realizes the disadvantage of using old boiled water in making tea and cof- fee, or for other purposes instead of fresh water boiled. It s longer to heat up water to the boiling point that has been boiled than water from the faucet, and when it has been heated it lacks quality and is at the bottom of most poor tea and coffee brews. Those’ who have practiced drinking hot water hefore breakfast and just before retiring as a means of keeping the stomach and bowels rigi§t, know the value of fresh water healjed. and come to make a distinction ®etween hot water and water that has been scorched. This is a knowledge of wa- ter that the majority of water users seldom attain to. The water that stands in the kettle on a hot stove and has water from the faucet added from day to day is simply an abomina- tion and is at the bottom of many kitchen failures, for it lacks life. Tea or coffee made from fresh water just boiled is so superior to that made from old boiled water that the contrast in the flavor is most striking. Any old thing will do, is too often - the rule of a kitchen, and this is the kitch- en where things are not done well and about which there is most com- plaint. Knowledge is power in the kitchen as well as elsewhere, and wa- ter that is water should be recognized there for its merits as well as other things in constant use. Central Village. Fried Green Tomatoes. Editor Social Corner: 1 am so glad that there is at last a Social Corner where we can all talk to each other informally. I wonder if any of the sisters have ever fried green tomatoes? Slice the tomatoes and set aside in salted wa-#¢ ter an hour before frying. Roll in meal, salt and pepper, and fry. We think they are delicious. 1 read the article about the daugh- ter's bedroom and enjoyed it very much. It has helped me, too. When I feel like not making my bed or not sweeping my room. I remember that my room shows my character and then I do it. If any of the sisters have a sure receipt to take out grass stains I would like to hear it. DOROTHY. Norwich Town Muliein for Deafness. Editor Social Corner: Smoking dried mullein is one of the best remedies for catarrhal deafness. The Ileaves ghould be gathéred and dried; then broken up so as to be of the proper size to pack a pipe, just the same as tobacco, A fresh clay pipe is best for this purpose. The oil is made to reach the inner ear by holding the nostrils shut with the fingers after REBECCA. each puff and gently forcing the air into the eal This will c y the smoke along with it. 1 presume the is vaporized and goes along with smoke. This should reach the inner ear, perhaps not at first, but it will after a short time. The doctor who prescribed the remedy claims, however, that it is best to gather the leaves and prepare them oneself if possible. The taste and smell, if T Temember rightly, are rather disa- greeable, but it has a soothing, heal- ing effect on the ears and the entire nasal passages. Mullein may be bought in packages for about ten cents at any drug store in the shape of a small hard cake which should be broken up. This will keep one supplied for apbout two weeks. ¥t is such handy and simple reme- dies as this that it is well to know apout, JANE. Norwich. Salt for Use of the Eyes. Editor Socjal Corner: The use of salt water on the eyves is simple and safe. It is apparent that brine is not called for. T think a tablespoon of salt to a pint of warm water is suf- ficient. The water should not be made so salt it cannot be drunk. T use it cool and in winter sometimes use it tepid. 1If the eves are highly inflamed it might be well to bathe them with hot water—as hot as can comfortably be borne, and follow with a cool salt water bath. Sait strengtheus the eves and it is beneficial when tlfe eves are watery or blurry. It does a well eye no harm. Ellen can regulate the strength and the condition of the wa- ter for herself.

Three Useful Recipes. Editor Social Corner: I find that the Social Corner is a help in various ways. The sisters have sent in some very nice recipes and 1 have been the gainer thereby.

Maple Caramel Nut Cake.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of lukewarm water, three cup- fuls of wpastr flour, one cupful of chopped English walnut wmeats, whites of four eggs, two rounding teaspoons of baking powder: beat the butter to a eveam and gradually add the sugar. beating well. To this slowly pour in | will remember, toa the water; then sift in the flour, a little at a time, beating well, reserv- ing one-half cupful of the flour to mix with the nuts, which now mix into the batter; beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and add the last thing with the baking powder. Grease well a long, shallow pan or line with greased paper; pour in the batter and bake in a moderate oven for 30 min- utes or until done. Much depends on the depth and size of the pan. Cover with maple caramel and English wal- nuts. When_ ready to serve, cut ip squares, a nut in the center of each square, Dixie Cake—Two-thirds cup of but- ter, two cups sugar, two-thirds cup of sweet milk, two cups flour, one cup cornstarch, two teaspoons baking pow- der and the well beaten whites of 6 eggs. Mix in order written and bake in four layers. Make a plain bofled icing and divide in four parts. To one part add one-half cup each of chopped citron and blanched almonds; to second part pulp of one orange. Put through a sieve and add one-half cup grated cocoanut. To third part two tablespoons grated chocolate, one-half cup hickory mesats and one-half cup fige, both chopped fine. Put on the first, second and third layers as writ- ten, using on top the plain boiled icing. Sisters who indulge in a little fancy cooking will find these most satisfac- tory. CHARLOTTE.

LIKED WIT OF ARTEMUS WARD! Londoners for a Wonder Apprsclated: Work of Great American Humorist. On the occasion of Artemus Ward's professional visit to London, which oo~ curred not long before his death, J. B. Preston Muddock says in his book, “Pages from an Adventurous Life," that the American humorist's adver- tisements of his “show” were as full of funny surprises as the lectures themselves. One that tickled the gen- eral public was this: Artemus Ward Delivered Lectures - Before All the Crowned Heads of Euw rope Ever Thought of Deliver- ing Lectures. And an excerpt from his lecturs om “Drawing,” is quoted by Mr. Muddock as a particularly delightful bit. “I haven't distinguished myszlf as an artist,” Ward said, in his inimitable way, “bSut havé always beer mixed up in art.

Tomatoes act directly on the liver; oniens, garlic, leeks, shallots, etc., stimulate the circulation and pro- mote digestion; among tbe most nutritious of vegeta- bles, containing more muscle forming food than wheat: lettuce and celery both have a good effect upon nerves—the former is latter a tonic; corn meal is a strength- ener. I use it in making yeast, to make our own yeast cakes as follows: Bring to a boil one quart of fresh buttermilk, stir in enough white corn meal to make thick like gruel; let boil up well, ra- move from fire and cool; and sat in a warm place to rise. In two hours it should be light—then thicken with corn meal. make into cakes and dry thoroughly. No salt, sugar, hops nor flour in these cakes. This is so easy to make and good, too.
