Dear Sisters: 1 will send you a cure for Gapes, Gapes are caused by worms in the windpipe of chicks be- tween 3ix ani eight weeks ol. Spray or sprinkle runs, houses, etc., with water in which has been put a little disinfectant. Do not feed on the ground. as they pick up the worms. Keep the place well disinfected. There are several remedies. One| gond one is to dip a feather that has been stripped within half an inch/ of the end in turpentine and insert it inte the windpipe, turn cnce and with- draw. Another is to give a piece of cam. phor about the size of a grain of wheat. o Still another easy way is the lime dust 1reatment: put chicks in a box over which place a thin cloth or bur- lap is stretched. and sprinkle slaked lime on the cloth. The chickens will sneeze and the worms come up. The worms should be burned. Give chicks plenty of fresh air, and don't use too much lime. If ;ou have sprouis on potatees, turnips, onions, etc., give them to the little chicks. A succession of lettuce is nice to plant for them. Waterford. NOT TOO BUSY TO WRITE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— May I step in at this hour to say that 1 was very much surprised to get a I agree with one of the sisters that said all might be sure of the fourth prize, which is a big prize, for are we net all put here to help one another along “the reugh road?” Dear Sisters: I thepe I may win that prize every time I write now. I am going to write to the young man, to the yeuth who 18 just leaving the home nest. 1 ask vou to take with yeu one motto: Never touch strong drink. Seme of you may say: Why, 'Mr. T. takes a drink now and then to Brace him up. Pr, C.——, the family dector, does, toe. 1’ think: and surely, father dees. Oh, no; he never gets drunk. and it don’'t make him| peor. He is a partner of a big store, or perhaps a presperous farmer.” That is just the peint.

Boys, why not tell him that you are standing up for Jesus; that you arc a soldier of the most honored army ever formed, and in that army you will march until you meet the Great Commander. But, alas! you don't: you are urged to rnin. Your first drink! What does it mean to you? It means sorrow and. disgrace. It leads to so many bad things, you must beware of liquor of all kinds. Some- times your path may be lonely, for there is always music and bright lights until you begin to realize that it is too late to turn back—the lights. go. out. May we all remember that when friends to whom we cling forsake: when writhes the heart that will not break; when sorrow ctlouds spread ovar our sky: when peace besets with wrath and strife: when foes arise to seek our life, along the path where dangers rife. May we walk safely with Thee; be Thou our friénd: on Thee alone can we depend. Lets's be a_ soldier brave and true; join that Master’s band and on him depend. MOTHER-IN-LAW'S FRIEND. REVIVED OLD MEMORIES. Dear Editor of the Social Corner:— Truahe Bromley’'s poemd on “The Milk ‘White Birches” is grand. I shall al- ways keep them. I. too, was brought up in the neighborhood of “The Milk White Birches.” T read the poem over and over. It brought back old mem- ories of a happy childhood home. Nou care. or worry, or fuss, in that dear old home with my lovely white-hair- ed old mother and dear father—God bless them both! Oh, if I could only go back in years and live over some of the happy days spent in and arouad the old schoolhouse and the Quinebeaug river! I hope Mr. Brom- ley will be. able to come once more to_the dear old home. Norwich. AUNT JULE. THE R§TURN OF THE BIRDS. Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corne: Do we fully realize how rich life is. how full it is of joy and pleasure? The robin's springtime song and his joyful glee through the whole long day surely will gladden our path- way. Last summer two little wild cana- ries came to our vard «nd built a home nest, and while the mother bird was busy hatching and caring for the little ones the male bird w~ul: sit and sing until I knew his little throat must ache. He seemed to enjoy my pres- ence and the pretty compliments T paid him; but one day I missed them and the sweet song they had sung, and I realized they had gene to their win- ter home. I have watched anxiously for my little pets, and only a few days ago they appeared. T heard a chirp- ing at the kitchen door, and there they were. They said to me, “How do you do? I know you are glad to see us.” I gave them a warm welcome, and was even more pleased to see them than T was the robin and the bluebird that came so much earlier. Did they know that I had been watching for them? B T e that were sent to me at a time when I needed something to cheer, to en- courage me? One can't be sad very long at this season, when we see beau- ty and loveliness everywhere—when we can enmjoy seeing the sun rise and set in all his glory., and the beautiful green grass, and the bright, cheerful flowers. Over my heart there steals a sweet peace, and I look up and “praise Him from whem all blessings come.” “Come birds and sweet flowers to this land of ours; We've ronm, and you're welcome and free, For you are God's smiles, troubles beguile, Come, be happy in field, shrub and tree.” you our May our lives be as beautiful as the birds and flowers, and a continued sunshine and a blessing to those around us.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— There is a great deal of satisfaction in baving our own canned goods, and having them put up the same day that they are gathered. . To Can Strawberries Without Cook- ng—Fill a can abeut three-fourths full of selected ripe strawherries which ‘have been hulled, washed and thor- WHERE oughly drained, and then peur over them a syrup made by boiling togeth- er for five minutes one and a half cups 6f sugar and one cup of vuwr Pour the syvrup over the fruit beiling hot and seal the cans. which should be standing in hot water at once, Screw { mornings seems to Alice Alden to be little short of sinning, when one should be especially thankful that God had given one the of living in a ‘world so full of unities; but how cfnehhdaltvhenflmtmoum- lflum of persistent little images (neatly labelled vain regrots, and sit- ting on the imaginary shelf with a lot of other images) constantly sieges one with sad memories of the Mfi and dark forebodings of the. fu- ure, “Ah! well, one could escape into the alwa; interesting out-of-doors.” So forcing a smile to her lips and don- ning ‘wraps, for it was rather cool this beautiful summer morning. Alice Alden descended into the kitchen, where Martha, dear, faithful Martha, | To .be discouraged on this of all|your - I ceiving a letter. The est old | mntér Miss Alden by this t.hm umt ‘the -nns which overspread her features - have been said by the Ldinrve to be due only to the pleasure of re- far writing caused Alice Alden to wonder, and as she reached the seclusion of ‘the shaded path she| hesitatingly drew forth the enclosed missive: “Dear Miss Alden,” it ran: “I am sura vou will be surprised to receive a letter from me; and I consider if a bit of good fortune to be enabled to write to you in this way. About twenty years ago, before I left my old home, at once both an inspiration and prac- {1 corresponded with you, but in the tical saint, was, it seemed more lively than ever, cheerfully doing her morn- ing work. “Soc you're goin’ fer a walk, Miss Alice? ~ Well, it sure is a beautifur mornia’ to be walkin’, an’ I hope the good Lord will be uter givin’ ye pleas- ant memories this day.” “Why, Martha; why should ene have pleasant memories today any more than any other day 2" “Why? Because,” stammered Mar- tha, “well, you see, Miss Alice, I sup- pose, bein’ as it's such a beautiful mornin’, T just couldn’t help wishin’ ye | pleasure. You, as has always done so much for others, don't ye be after thinkin’ you're fogettin® all those years you have lived the life of a teacher, given up all your time and sacrificing yourself. “Indeed, if I'm not mistaken, there's many a one as owes their successful to your startin’ ‘em rl‘ht when ngs was mostly against 'em.” ‘Oh, Martha, I don’t believe T've done a bit more than my share of helping, and anyway, what are we here in the world for If not to help those about us? If I were to make a guess 1 should say you were the one who has done the most helping: and I'm going to step into the store and bring yvou back some of yvour favorite tea as a tiny gift to show you my ap- preciation of your kind <ishes this morning. You have cheered me more than you realize.” “The dear, faithful old soul!” sighed Alice, as she joyously sniffed the fresh air; "she surely remembers it's my birthday today—thinks I have forgot- ten and is planning a lovely little sur- prise suppér for me. To think one could get blue, with such a faithful friend as Martha to live with, though true friends seem to leave one behind when ons has passed beyond the more active stege of the world's work.” In fact, disguise it as she would, the real- ity remained that Alice Alden was somewhat disappointed with life, though, as was natural for one witn her broad views of life, she feit that somehow the fault was her own. One of her keenest disappointments had been the gradual dropping off of the correspondence with her old pupils. For several years since leaving Pine- wood she had faithfullv kept on writ- ing, the occasional replies from dif- ferent ones becoming fewer and far- ther beiween, until at last the cor- respondence had cezsed altogether. She had hoped that the stress of cir- cumstances, such as illness or any one of many emergencies in life, had been the cause of her failure to write, yet at last she was forced to believe the cold, bare truth, that her pupils of other davs had forgotten her: and though the morning stop at the post office was kept up, why she hardly knew, for it was getting to be dis- tinctiy distasteful to hear: “Nothing but the newspaper, morning, Miss Alden!” Yet the thoughts of what the would be without' the pleasure reading the morning paper made her feel decidely more thankful, *“for,” she \thoueht, “there are many who cannot have that luxury.” So she cheerfully asked: “Any mail, master?” “Why, I'm sorry to say, Miss Alden, this day of this morming, Mr. Post- confusion of moving away your ad- dress was lost. Many times I have thought of vour splendid influence in the old days in Pinewood and would gladly have written to you, but all at- tempts at finding your address failed. I suppose you cannot realize the grate- fulnz2ss your former pupils feel toward vou. Recently upon coming back here from the west, to take up my residence on the old home place, I found that nearly all of my old schoolmates had located elsewhere—such changes do twenty years create! As I visited the old bovhod haunts, and especially (hg schoolhouse, the longings for friends of other days re- solved themeslves into a concrete form —“the suggestion of an old home week. Mentioning this matter to several of the townspeople, I found much enthu- siasm, and the unanimous opinion was that vou should be chosen the guest of honor; but all said your present ad- dress was not known, that in the many vears since vou had left Pinewood there had been so many changes that now no one here corresponded with you, and that the name of the town to which you had moved had been for- gotten. Now this was where I could be of material assistance. In the gensral cleaning and preparations incident to moving back to Pinewood, we looked over and destroved many letters writ- ten vears ago. Among them we found one of yours, written soon after leav- ing Pinewood: also a birthday book, in which you had written your name and a good wish for me. I do not need to tell you that said letter was full of kindly and thoughtful interest in your former pupils The whole fam- ily was delighted with the discévery and one of my bovs exclaimed: “Hurrah! Blessed be house clean- ing!” I immediately corresponded with all the vid schoolmates, through a circular letter, which I enclose. It is evident they are all delighted with the idea. You will see they have not forgotten that our little school here in Pinewood was called the best in the state. And how proud we all were of that fact! We realize now, as we did not fully ‘then, how much that enviable reputa- tion was due to your untiring interest in_us. ‘We have decided upon the first week in September, and already prepara- tions are being made for what many of the old residents declare will be the greatest celebration our little com- munity has ever known. Almost breathless with joy and sur- prise, Alice Alden read the enclose¢ letters, every one speaking of hér in- fiuence in the life of the writer, words of gratefulness that seemed to the re- fined gentleweman like letters of gold. Surely life-was a biessed opportunity. The years of sacrifice’ back there in Pinewood were years of golden pfom- ise, and now she was reaping the hap- py harvest. The jov of her experience was still shining in her face as she reached home, and to the faithful Martha, Alice Alden seemed like one who had had a beautiful vision. The two gentlewom- en ate their simple meal in grateful- ness, each with the satisfactionof havifig don well the work in life ‘ac- corded to them.

If the poet will only come back to Connecticut for our Social Corner picnic we will see that he has all the “johnny-cake and other geod things” that he wants. How many of the sisters are study_ ing birds these days? Bird-study in this town has been given quite an im- petus by Prof. Job's lecture last week. I heard one person say that birds are more plentiful this spring than usual. Whether there are more or less birds, certainly more notice is taken of them and of their songs. Can any of the sisters tell more than ten birds by sight, and more thar five by the song, alone? And how many encourage the birds to build or mest around our homes? Columbia. CORNFLOWER. THE ELUSIVE AGENT. Dear Sisteérs of the Social Corner:— Thought, wishes and desire expressed on paper are wonderful, and the letters we read Saturday are very interest- ing. I just want to tell some of my friends about a mistake T made on the installment plan, lest they err the same way. A young man comes to my door, wishes to sell some silver, and after trying half an hour or mors 10 make him understand that I had no use for it, it ended by his saying I could have the silver for $4, and when the agent calls pay him 26 cents a week. - The agent called, learned I had sil- ver put out by a Hartford firm, asked no other questions, but took his 26 cents and left. This continued until the $4 were paid. On the agent's return again I asked, “What are you here for now?” His answer was, “Fer money.” I told him that I owed him nothing. He contended that I still ewed him 38. I explained about the first young man and refused to pay more. The agent said he weuld inferm firm abeut the other young man and what he had done; also requesting that I hand over to, him a certain piece of silver to show the irm. The first man eft the 80 did the second. I wrote twice to the firm but received mo reply. A few days ago a new man called to collect on this silver. 1In the mean- time I had had this silver looked over by people who knew good plated silver, Then 1 told him he could have the silver, providing he would hand over $4.
