In the morn of the holy Sabbath, 1 likeé in the church to see The dear little chiliren clustered, Worshipping there with me, 1 am sure that the gentle pastor, Whose words are like summer dew, I= cheered as he gazes over The dear little heads in the pew, Faces earnest and thoughtful, Innocent, grave and sweet; They look in the congregation Like lllies among the wheat. And I think that the tendar Master, Whose mercies are ever new, Has a special benediction For the dear little heads in the pew‘l Clear in the hymns resounding To the organ’s swelling chord, Mingle the fresh voung voices, Eager to praise the Lord. And I trust that the rising anthem Has a meaning deep and true, The thought and the music blended, For the dear little heads in the pew. they hear When Shepherd,” Or “Suffer the babes to come,” They are glad that the loving Jesus Has given the lambs a_hame, A place of their own with his people, He cares for me and for you, But close in His arms He gathers The dear little heads in the pew. “The Lord is my 8o I love in the great assembly On the Sabbath morn, to see The dear little children clustered, And worshipping there with me; For 1 know that my precious Saviour, Whose mercies are ever new, HBas a special benediction For the dear little heads in the pew. —Margaret E.

WE HOPE the picnickners at Cov- entry lake will write the Social Cor- mer ‘all about it from their point of view for the entertainment of the lerge number who from the short no- tice or other reasons were unable to attend. THE FIRST SOCIAL CORNER PICNIC came off at Coventry lake on July 17th and was very much enjoyed by all who partictpated. There is no law against the holding of another in some other section by those who feel that it was not central enough and was not easily reached.

Bee or Billle might pull one off at Pleasure beach. anywhere else; and every other active member who has the get- together spirit can get combination when they feel like it. The Bulletin is agreeably related to all such merry making. CHARLOTTE, the Bachelor, writes: Wil you kindly ask the sisters, through your column’s for a recipe for cooking smoked halibut, that I may learn how to prepare same.” We have no doubt there will be a prompt re- sponse, M.

First a_mass meeting of Social Cor- ner members was held in one of the Editor’s rooms. Ready, Falry God- mother, Married and Happy and the Tditor were to be head committee, to have a general oversight of all others: It was decided to have the wedding in ‘the new church in the pretty little vil- lagze where the bride lived. A Min- Ister’'s Daughter was to secure the services of a clergyman and Dreamer was asked to play the wedding march. Ma, Pa, Jane Ann, J. K. T., Nat and | Biddy were appointed a committee to | look after the eatables and they were cautioned to provide a generous lot for most of the people would have to come a good ways and would be hun- | 8Ty, excepting, of course, the bride and groom.

In came the wedding procession as follows: First came_the ushers whe were Frank, Billle, Jim, Joseph Dee, J. B. T. and Merry Farmer's Boy. Fol- lowing them came the three little girls of Dreamer, with the three little boys of Queen Bess, each carrying a large basket of Crimson Ramblers. Next the bridesmaids, who were W. H. S Sweet Sixteen, A Minister’s Daughter, Elizabeth, Gladness and Sunshine. Ruth and Papa's Boy came next as maid of honor and best man. They were followed by the bride and groom. The bride wore a beautiful silk dress with an overdress of white sillk tat- tin, made by the Social Corner sisters Who are experts at that work. After the ceremony all proceeded to Samantha’s house, where a grand and sumptuous dinner was served. (Nat killed and roasted three pair of his Hittle critters.) B ‘After dinner the bride and groom left in an airship for South Windham, Me., where they will probably see Frozen and then they will go to Springfield, Mass., to see Ready’s new home. It was such a success that all the voung girls declared that when they got married they were going to hav the Social Corner friends plan thei weddins: All Social Corner members who couldn't attend received & Dpiece of the wedding cake.

THE WAR ON THE FLY, Dear Sisters and friemds of the So- cial Corner: After reading the swat | the fiy articles one might easily force himself to believe little or no effort had been put forth heretofore to re- lieve suffering humanity during the | | | i persecutions of thaat pernicious and persistent pest, the house fly; and | that for the first time in human his- tory the purpose is his ulthmate ex- | tinction. The warfare on the fly has been going on not only for years, but | for centuries, and the future holds out no hopeful promise of either an | early or a lasting peace. One peculiarity about the house | fy is that he appears to be an accom- | paniment not a product of civili- | zation. Every new home erected and | accupied adds to and enlarges his do- | main in spite of screens, fly traps, fly | poisons and_ fly pap: He asserts | that right of entry and possession and | once in he industriously devotes him- self to his mission as a persecutor and pest. There are those who tell us, just as scientists are now telling us, that there are good microbes as well as bad | microbes, that there a good and useful purpose back of all created life, at if we were only able to dis- r it we would find the house fly, mosquito, the potato bug, and other bugs that sometimes invade our beds at night had each a mis- to perform, which in the last sis will make for the peace, com- and lasting happiness of We would like to believe but after passing through the uncommion human experience af in the past of fighting { | 1 y .mosquitoes and other | all night, and rising in the morning unrested, ill-natured, irrita I ble and out of humor with o Ives and the rest of mankind, we are very apt to say a long word with a short meaning. While the fly is a persecutor and a | pest so far as interfering with physi- cal comfort is concerned, for that reason if no other, that merits the warfare that has been, is being, and | will be made upon him. The real reason for thé vigorous crusade now | being carried on against him lies in the fact that serious menace to human h uch as he is n spreading in- not only a bus: | feetio 15 disease, but is th t cause of many serious and a ases with which | medic: has to contend. In fighting the fly human ingenuity been put to a severe test. > are patent poisons, patent traps almost without number ha The nd fly pape used every day in the United States and through their use alone quantities of flies are slaughtered every twenty- four hour: The Social Corner, July 12th, creates a great interest.

Social Corner Editor and Here are some recipes that nk might be of use to you, and |1 hope you will try them. | Pineapple Cores—Don't throw away the core of pineapples, put on the | stove, boil until they are in condition | to strain juice with fine bag. This | will make a fine syrup and it is a part of the pineapple generally thrown away, A Gold and Silver Dessert—Coolk the juice of one lemon in three-fourths of a cup of sugar till ciear, using more sugar if the lemon is extra sour. Then add one pint of boiling water and thicken with two tablespoons of corn- starch. When-this has become color- less and no starchy taste remains, pour slowly over the stiffy beaten whites' of two esgs, Whipping ~con- | stantly that the boiling mixture may cook the froth and hold it stiff. Pour |into the froth, or into separate cups, and set in the ice . ehest, Make & Dboiled custard, using the yelks of the eggs with milk, ete. Chill this alse, At time of serving turn eut the meuld or the cup-sized upen a pretty dish, moulds each on a china saucer, and pour custard dreund, If a' candied cherry be placed en the tep ef eaeh- hot months of the summer from the | huckleberries and a sniff of | white mound it is very decorative. The white part will be light-textured and tasty, and should be just stiff enough to hold its shape. Sugar - Cookies—Two cups of sugar two eggs, one cup of sour cream, a large half-cup of shortening, salt and | flavoring to taste, a level teaspoonful | of soda and a heaping one of baking | powder. Pickled Beets—For immediate use | the beets are boiled until tender with- out peeling or breaking the sKin, merely washing them and removing the tops, which, however, should not be cut level with the skin, about an inch in length being left on. This is so that the juice may be retained, to | keep the dark red color. When tender the beets are peeled, left whole if small, but cut Into slices if large; seasoned with pepper and salt, and covered with cold vinegar; horse- radish may be added if convenient, and this is considered to keep the beets free from mold or fermentation longer. Such beets are only meant for im- | mediate consumption; they may be pickled for future use as follows: Select small new beets, and boil un- til tender; peel the skins off as soon |as they are cool enough to handle, also cut off top asd tail and pack in fruit jars; set aside and prepare your | vinegar. ‘Tt will net be necessary to | heat the beets over again. Put as | much vinegar over the fire as will be required to cover the beets; when this comes to a boil add a little sugar, ac- cording to taste. Let the vinegar boil | five minutes longer; pour over the | beets piping hot and seal. A small piece of horseradish put into each jar will keep the white scum from form- ing on the top of the vinegar. Beet Sweet Pickle—Boil till - tender, | then skin, and cut into slices or strips. Put in glass jars rather loosely, so that each piece will be surrounded by | the pickle. To two quarts of vinegar add four pounds of brown sugar, ‘and | when these are in the kettle, add a | scant half teaspoonful of pulverized jalum. Use a porcelain lined kettle for this liquid, and bring the contents to |a boll. Skin carefully, and then add !(o it a small cheesecloth bag contain- ing a teaspoonful each of whole pep- percorns, allspice and cloves. Bofl again, and add a little cayenne pepper and salt. Fill the jars to overfiowing with this liquid, and set aside over |night. The next morning drain the beets, and bring the syrup again to a hard boil. Pour this again into the Ijars of beets, doing so while it is scald- |ing hot, and filling each jar to over- ifiowlng, Seal tmmediately, MOUNTAIN LAUREL East Norwich, N. Y. AN INFALLABLE REMEDY FOR | ANTS. | Dear Editor and Social Conerites:— I will say to one who wishes to rid her house of black ants, use tartar emetic mixed with sugar, sprinkled freely in their Tun ways, and in sweet- |ened water wherever they gather. Caution must be used where there are children as it is poisonous. This is | an_infallible remedy for the pests. I wonder how many of the sisters living in the country make buttermilk cheese. Let the milk stand until thick, | then pour boiling water on it stirring briskly until it sparates, which will be in a few moments; let it settle until | the whey is clear, then drain and sea- son. This is so quickly made, and is | S0 delicious, I wish othéers would try and report. It is considered as nutri- tious, pound for pound as lean beef | steak. It is very nice eaten with milk or cream as a breakfast food. A favorite dish with me is puffed rice and eggs. Saute the rice in but- ter, add two tablespoons of milk, for | each egg, scramble lightly, | serve. A nice supper dis! TESTED RECPIES. Editor and Social Corner Sisters: T have tried the recipe for mock angel cake, so will send it again: | ) | Mock Angel Cake—One cup sugar, |1 1-2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt; sift five | times then add I cup beiling milk and beat; flavor and last add the stiffiy | beaten whites of 2 eggs; bake in an | angel cake tin. Ginger Snaps—One cup sugar, 1 cup molasses, 2-3 cup shortening, level teaspoon salaratus, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-2 cup water, flour to mix; roll thin and bake. Ginger Cookies—One cup sugar, 1 cup molasses, 1 cup shortening, salt, 2-3 cup cold water, 2 tablespoons vin- |egar, 1 tablespoon saleratus, ginger {and vanilla, flour to mix as soft as can | be handled.

TIMELY INSTRUCTIONS. Dear Editor and Social Corner Mem- hers: At this esason of the year, when there are so many fatalities frem drowning, sunstroke, etc., it is well to have a few simple printed rules oné can refer to at a moment's notice, in case of accident. It would be well to tack these rules up in the medicine closet, or, what is ' better still, paste them in a conspicu- ous place in your scrapbook, where they can be easily found. My scrapbook usually accompanies me when 1 go away for the summer, and I have had occasions to refer to it “many times, and oft. | Help in case of accidents: 1 Drowning—Loosen elothing if any. Empty lungs of water by laying body | ! on its stomach and raising it by the middle, so that the head hangs down. Jerk the body a few times. Pull the tongue forward by using handkerchief. Imitate motion of respiration, alter- nately compressing and expanding the lower ribs about twenty times a min- ute. Alternately Traising and lower- ing the arms from the sides, up above the head, will stimulate action of the lungs. Tet it be done gently, but per- sistently. Apply warmth and friction to tha extremities. Ry holding the tongue forward, clos- ing the nostrils and pressing the “Adam’s apple” back (so as to slose entrance to the stomach) direct infla- tion may be tried. Take a deep breath and breathe it forcibly into the mouth of the patient; compress the chest to expel the air, and repeat the operation. Do Not Give Up!—FPcople have been saved after hours of patient, vigorous effort. ‘When breathing begins get the pa- | tient into & warm bed, give warm drinks, or spirits in teaspconfuls, fresh air and have it quiet. Sunstroke—Loosen clothing; et patient into the shade and apply ice- cold water to his head. Lightning—Dash cold water over a person struck. Cinders inthe Eye—Roll soft paper up like a lamplighter and wet the tip to remove cinder, or use a medicine dropper to draw it out. Rub the other eye. Venomous Insect Bites—Apply weak ammonia, salt water, or iodine. Mad Dog or Snake Bites—Tie cord tight above wound; suck the wound and cauterize with caustic or white hot iron at once. Fainting—Place flat on the back; al- low fresh air and sprinkle with water. Burns and Scalds—Cover with bi- carbonate of soda and lay wet cloths over it, also whites of eggs and olive oll; also peroxide of hydrogen, Fire in a Building—Crawl on the floor. The clearest alr is the lowest in a room. Cover the head with a wool- en cloth, wet if possible. Don't get excited. Fire from Kerosene—Don't use water, it will spread the flames. Dirt, sand, flour or bicarbonate of soda is the best exthguisher or smother with woolen or carpet. Il Aline, 1st, accept my apology for unconsciously adopting her name? I feel that I should change my name at once. This is the third time, 5o I trust it 48 final. Hereafter call me “Enid,” please. BNID.

I have experi- VELVET. mented considerably with different kinds of food and have found that | whole wheat well boiled—six hours at least—is one of the best, and most palatable dishes. I usually have it for both morning and evening meals, about three-quarters of a cupful. Eat- en with 2 little cream or good dairy or peanut butter, it is delicious and nutritious. With' wheat at its pres- ent price (about 90 cents a bushel) 5 cents would more than purchase | enough to supply two meals a day for a week, even for a laboring man. Bolled corn’ makes a good change and is even cheaper than wheat. As to meat, I find 1 get the best results for the least outlay from round steak cooked as follows: I put it through the meat chopper, form into {little cakes, and flour them well. It | keeps in the juice. Having rendered out some suet, have it sizzling hot, lay in the cakes, and cover tight. When nicely browned turn. When the meat is a gray color all through it is done. Season with salt and pepper and but- ter, This is appetizing and nutritious. Here is another way to use round steak, which is palatable and econom- ical, the amount, of course, to be gov- erned by the size of the family. Have the steak cut about two Inches thick and with the edge of a plate pound all the flour into it that will go on both sides, Put it in a pan and cover with sliced raw potatoes and onions, Pour in enough boiling water to come well up to the top of the meat cover and cook In the oven until the meat is tender, 1 use nelther tea nor coffee, but drink lots of water and buttermilk when it can be got.

NEWEST VEILING NOTES. Milady who keeps up on her vells must have neat meshes and conserva- tive patterns well separated, in order to be chic at the present moment. Hexagon and craguele meshes are very good, but whatever the character of the mesh or the design, it must be definitely neat and dainty in effect, to pe really smart. The vogue for this type of velling Is necessitated because :t its suitability for small and medium ats. Shetland effect, both plain and fancy, are also in good taste. SMOKER'S STAND. A decidedly new and decorative smoker's stand was seen recently in one of the larger stores, made of whits. enamel with brass trimmings. The same stand may be obtained in eno- noid also, but in the white finish it is particularly appropriate for the sum- mer cottage or bungalow. The top off the stand is equipped with a match- box holder, a cigar rest and an ash . cup. Beneath these, on the lower por- tion of the stand, is a cigar holder ‘with brass lining. .
