If you've anything good to say of a man, Don’t Wwait till he's laid to rest, | For the eulogy spoken when. hearts are broken an empty thing at best. the blighted flower now drooping lonely Would perfume the mountain side, If the sun’s glad ray had but shone i 5 oday And the pretty bud espied. If you've any alms to give to the poor, Don't wait till you hear the cry Of wan distress in this wilderness, Lest the one forsaken die. Oh, hearken to poverty's sad lament! Be swift her wants to allay; Don’t spurn God’s poor from the fa- voured door, As you hope for mercy one day. Bon't wait for another to bear the burden 2 Of sorrow’s irksome load; Let your hand extend to a stricken friend As he totters adown life's road. And if you've anything good to say of a man, Don’t wait till he’s laid to rest; Per the evlogy spoken when hearts @re broken Is an empty thing at best. ANSWERS AND INQUIRIES.

There are many ways of preparing salmon. We like this way very much: To one can of salmon we add four crackers, reduce the same with the meat cutter, add one egg, season, and form into cakes after rolling in a little meal fry in a littie butter. I thought of the Social Corner pic- nic ail day while Dobbing and I spent the day in the hay fleld, and it was pleasant to attend the very pleas- ant gathering i my mind, as I did the one at Gardner Lake, June l14th. I think it would be very pleasant if the next one could be held somewhers lose 1o the trolley line. With best wishes to all from JIM. Yantic. SPRING CHICKEN PICKS BERRIES. i The other morning I was awakened at, an early hour by a strange noise and upon investigation 1 found a peor spring chicken; she was weeping for she had lost her way and between her sobs I made out her story. She had started out to pick huckle- berries but had started up the wrong hill and hadn't discovered her mis- take until she reached my home. She told me she had picked twenty aquarts | of huckleberries this season and would like to pick as many more. 1 2aid, “My dear, what are you go- ing to do with all those berries?” Such a determined look came over her face as she fairly snapped at m “Ples for the Socfal Corner picnic. She said at Coventry picnic they had everything one could think of to eat. She was determined not to be outdone and she Was sure no one else would think of takdng berry ples. I took my pencil and paper and sat down to figure how manv pies that amount of berries would make.

AUSTRALIAN EEES OR YEAST SEED, Dear Social Corner: Sometime ago one of the sisters requested informa- tion. regarding Australian or Califor~ mia “Dees.” To begin with the “bees” &re not bees at all, they are of veget- able origin and are a epecies of fungi such as grows on decayed . trees, Two years ago in a little town wheps T.was ding, these Dees were the “rage,” and 1, tos, got some of them, but as & Aoctor stated the prodyct was quite as bad as any alesholic liquor, 1| gaye mine away, Following are the rules for ireafing the bees and for using the “heney,” 6r wine, as it is seme times called, ¢ First when you get your hees wesh and. rinse in thanks to the | Rather | is fit for use and .should be drained off th'e bees and bottled. The. bees should then be washed in cold water and divided into - equal amounts; then proceed as at first, In two.weeks they usually increase to twice /the amount which was put in the jar first, The, liquor is a stimulant and enough of it will produce the same effect as any’other alcholic drink. is /true; The usual way of using it as a me- dicine is a wine-glass before meals and and at bed time, Many, many, years ago those bees ‘were used to form yeast, GOLDEN ROD, TIMELY TESTED RECIPES, T)e%r Editor and Members of the So- cial Corner: I suppose you have found it very hot this month.

Present scenes are not ‘what I like, and I cannot build on the future, so my mind - J ‘back to the past and many times some thought or remem! drives away trifling vexations and dis- quiet ~ which: tidually harrass ‘and pe: on. N My chief pleasures are my letters and books. When low in spirits, when feeling poorly, I read 4 little. 1 do think 1t alleviates pain. It certainly | fils up what would otherwise be a lonely hour. I like to think of others and the characters fo me seem real. I.think one can get something from each book they read. I like what some call a perfect characfer. We can pattern af- ter such ones, and try as hard as we can we fall short. Then the characters that are not what they should be; we ghuuld strive our hardest not to imi- ate. We cannot always choose the friends we would, and those we know, who perhaps could help us, we cannot have with us when we most need them. Books and magazines we can have and choose just what we wish because nearly every town now boasts of a library; so we can choose books con- taining useful informatign, bright ac- counts of travel, witty arguments of questions of the day, the interesting and amusing novel. Then there are the books that contain some things that are true, so helpfully beautiful that they appeal to one with renewed force each time you read them. The knowledge that the authors share with us brings sunshine, peace and tran- quility to the heart of the reader. The person whose mind is thus stored has something to fall back upon if one is shut in for a time, and alse has acquired a taste for reading and { can take up book or paper and amuse and interest oneself, then rest and at intervals resume reading. I wish sometimes gomeone would call. I feel I must talk with someons, 1 take up a book to meet my need and feel refreshed and well enter- tained. If Iola has not read the account of the donation party in one of the chap- ters in Jest and Earnest, by E. P. Roe, she will be much -amused, interested and thankful that that donation ended by being a real help to the pastor, even if the good deed was suggested by a frivolous fashlonable lady who was usually careless of the needs of others, Can anyone tell me how to dry | sweet corn, and if it is equal to the | canned corn? DIANA, CRIMSON RAMBLER CHATS A LITTLE. Dear Social Cornerites, one and all: I really must write again, although I had not intended to this week. Peggy Anne: I think it would be just fun if a good crowd of the Cor- nerites could find you out in good ear- nest and parade right up to your house with bells on and floating yel- low ribbons to that Social Corner lawn party Aug. 18. I for one would really enjoy it. You have spoken about lit- tie Peggy; in one of your next letters please tell The Corner folks how old she is. 1 love little children and think a home is very lonely without the pres- ence of the little tots; they really are troublesome comforts, but then we were all children once ourselves. Silver Bell: .So you enjoyed my let- ter, did you Thanks! You see, I have accepted your invitation to write again. I am glad you liked it and I'll try to please you again some time in the near future. Sister Ready: Your pretty card re- ceived; many thanks for same. Shall you try to visit the New London county fair? If so, I should like to meet vou there. I shall try, if nothing happens, to be there the second day. I think it would be a grand thing if we could only have another picnic be. fore cold weather sets in, and perha; many more of the Sisters might be able to attend. I did not see the arti- cle in the paper where it had - been really decided on, and was much sur- prised when I read the account in The Bulletin where it really had taken place. Reuben’s Wife: I read with much interest of your wonderful family; are they all young? It seems as though they must be, else they weould quarrel and fight, for as the old saying is only “birds of a feather flock together.” I agree with you in thinking as you do about everybody going to the fair. It would be well for the Sisters to wear their yellow ribbons. I think a good many of the Sisters will be apt to find out who is who if they do. Is there any particular shade of yel- I don’t recollect seeing it spoken o fby the Sisters. I for my part pre- fer orange to any other shade. Theoda: Shall you be at the fair? If so, 1 shall be looking for you. but presume it will be hard to find you there, for among so many there will be many wearing smiles. I can't wear a Crimson Rambler now, for they are things of the past, unless you can make one out of paper for me. Ha! Ha! How about it? Lucy Acorn: What has become of vou? Will you, If so, please come.up to me and make vourself known. If T am there I shall be dressed in dark blue. CRIMSON RAMBLER. A CHEERY LETTER FROM BLACK PANSY. Dear I ditor and Sisters: First through having company, then sick- ness, 1 have been unable to write since the pien None the less T have thought of vou all many times. Now, if anyone is ever in two minds about going to the next picnic, let this letter decide you to go. I mever met such a cordial crowd in my life. | My only regret was I was so late. Truly they are all Social Sisters, Biddy deserves a world of thanks, and I think we all ought to give the Editor our best efforts at letters as a slight token of our appreciation of kindne: Theoda: Your postal and kindness duly appreciated. My company came that day so I couldn’t have attended the picnic. Many thanks all the same. Shall return card soon. Auntie: I shall certainly look for- ward to seeinz you again soon. Hope my face doesn’'t worry you any more, T ave laughed a good many times over.that. Wish you were still at the old place.

What he needed was a helpmeet. ' Rodney Humphrey couldn’t say whether he thought a helpmeet was necessery in his world or not. He did not seem to be infatuated ,with Jessie, and some of her disgusted friends used to say they believed she popped the question, for Rod did not have en- eygy enough to do anything. Sam Humphrey, the father of Rod- ney, as well as his wife were thorough- ly discouraged with the actlons, or lack of actions, of their only son. They frankly told Jessie Jones ' she was throwing herself away, that they had no means of relieving her if she came to want, and that the progpect so dis- tressing to them ought to inspire fear in_her. It didn’t. Jessie told them Rodney was slow to catch the real spirit ot life, and that his play period was not over. That when he did make a start he would surprise all who knew him. This faith in Rod made the town laugh and his own parents shake their heads. No one had faith in him but Jessle, and that is how he came to playfully call her his prize, They were quietly married one day at the parson’s, for they had no mon- ey to make a wedding, and they went into two rooms to live without reallyy knowing how they were going to be sure for long of thelr daily bread, and when Jessie praved the Leord daily “Glive us this day eour daily bread,” ¢ “I wish I could see 1 ain, but Jjust )| manifested her faith in God and in her mate, and did what litile she could to keep a lunch on thé {able, The world had necver astonished Rodney much, but the regard and faith of his little wife did. One day | after sitting down to a meagre meal With Jessle, he sald: ‘Jes, they say God helps those who help selevs, and if we get on in the W somebody has got to hustle besides yo . ‘here is a good deal more to you, Rod, than folks think. You have thought of nothing but play- Feu now will think of work, and that in%a way will be play for both you and I, for we shall both find joy in the fruits of your labor.” : “Where do you suppose I can get a job?” said Rodney. “I have never act- ed as if I wanted work in my life, and have laughed at every one who sug- gesteed such a jthing.” ~ “I'll tell you,” replied Jessie; “step Up to the president of the shoe fac- tory and ask him if he can give you any kind of employment—thaf, vou will txillgi any work and any pay to begin Rodney wandered off to the shoe factory with a faint heart, and, enter- ing President Sherliff’s office, he ad- daessefl him just as Jessie dhad advis- e The president said: “Your only rep- utation is for laziness. You are a good looker, and perhaps a poor doer. I made up my mind if you ever asked me for a job I would not turn you down. You look as though you might make a good salesman. 1 am going to give vou a percentage on your sales and ee what you can do selling shoes. Rodney pressed President Sherliff's hand as he never pressed a man’s hand before, and from his heart sald: “Thank you, sir! I will try nbt te disappoint you! I mean to make good.” Nobedy belleved In Rodney-—no one congratulated him upon his geod pros- pects; no one sald they hoped he would succeed except Jessie, whosald; “The tide has turned 1 yeur life, Red, and those who laugh at you teday will praise You next year. Rodney/proved te have a magnetie temperament and he soon showed that he could sell shoes, for within a year he was Suerliff's topnotch - salesman, and Jessie's prophecy proved to be true. Rodney Humphrey was cutting a new figure, His wifs and his parénts were proud of him, and the wonderful change in his life led all who had de- rided him to praise him. But it Is not always safe to marry undsr such circumstances. . them- EXCELLENT MEAT SANDWICHES. Dear Hditor and Social Corner Sis- ters: Herewith I send a few tested recipes: Deviled Ham Sandwiches—In mak- ing deviled ham sandwiches first mix the deviled ham with melted butter and a little lemon juice, or add a little | mayonnaise. Both slices of bread should be ¢overed with the paste. Butterscotch—One-half cup of vine- gar, one cup of sugar, one small piece of butter mix and; boil one-half hour. Very good, as I have tried this recipe. Ham Sandwiches—Ham sandwiches are much improved by having a few leaves of fine watercress laid over the meat. The same may be done with roast beef, lamb’ or mutton sand- wiches. P. 8.—Have been reading all the let- ters in The Corner, but have not writ- ten, so thought I would send a few recipes. I would /have liked to have been at the picnig, but it was too far away. What has become of Estella, Mug- gins and Observer of Canterbury? Your S. C, Sister, C. OF CANTERBURY, TIMELY CANDY RECIPES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Tt is the time for birthday parties and lawn parties, so I thought some of the Sisters might like some candy recipes. I never saw a recipe for Marshmallows before and I wish you would try it. It is easy, but it is tiresome to beat it. It is as follows: ' Marshmallows—One-half box granu- lated gelatine, three-fourths cup cold water (scant), three-fourths cup boil- ing water (scant), two level cups of sugar, flavoring, pinch of salt.- Suakl gelatine in cold water; cook sugar | with water only until it is dissolved; | pour over the gelatine, add flavoring | and salt, and let stand until lukewarm. | Beat with an egg beater, then with a | spoon, until stiff enough to spread in a sheet. Pour into pans dusted thick- Iy with powdered sugar to which a lit- | tle cornstarch has been added. This | is to prevent the sugar from lumping. ' ‘When chilled, turn on to a marble' slab or cold platter and cut in cubes. | Roll in_the sugar mixture and they | are ready for serving. i Molasses Kisses—One level cup su-\ gar, two level tablespoons cornstarch, | two cups molasses, one-eighth tea- spoon soda. Mix the sugar and corn- starch thorodghly and ‘then beat in | the molasses. When w ell blended | heat slowly, stirring almost constantly to prevent burning. When the mix- ture forms a.hard ball when tried in | cold water, remove from fire, add the soda and pour into a buttered pan. Cool and pull until light straw color. Then cut and wrap in wax paper. Vanilla Caramels—Two level cups coffee”C brown sugar, two-thirds cup cream, one-half cup corn syrup, one cup chopped nuts, one teaspoon vanil- la. Boll the sugar, cream and corn syrup without stirring until it forms a hard ball when tried in cold water. Just before removing from fire add nuts and vanilla and pour at once into a buttered tin. Do net stir caramels. When cold, remove from pan in one sheet and cut the caramels with a sharp knife. Wrap in wax paper. ‘With best wishes. BROWN BEAUTY. A FINE SPONGE CAKE.

Dear Social "Corner Sisters: I am only small block of ice, but I cost my mistress ten cents and if you treat me kindly I will serve you well. Wrap me in blankets, or even old newspapers, for this hot weather quickly laps my life away, Keep my little house neat and clean, for those pesky little ants in- vade my home and destroy the foods that I am supposed to protect. A little powdered Borax or char- coal will be all that is required to keep it clean and sweet after a wash of soda and water, once or twice a week, I will cool the atmosphere of the | sick room and lower the temperature of a fevered child, besides making many delicacies for the table. Have you ever tried to make Apple Water Ice? Hére are the directions: Take 1 quart of stewed apples, sweet- en with a pint and a half of syrup, add the juice of two lemons and freeze as you would ice cream. A simple syrup for sweetening lces is made by Jjboiling 10 ounces of wa- ter with 1 Ib. of granulated suger, set both water and sugar over the fire until the latter dissolves, which will be about the time the mixture reaches the boiling point. Then bottle and set away for use; if properly made, will keep indefinitely, Lemon lce—Make @ very rich and sweet lemonade and frecze it in tne usual way. When it is nearly frozen add the well beaten whites of 2 eggs; stir thoroughly so that the eggs may be well beaten in, and pack in Ice until needed. JANET. GOOD SUMMER RELISHES. Dear Social Cormer: It is quite a while since I ventured to write the Social Corner. I have thought every time that the Saturday Bulletin came I should surely write for the next week, but the days would go by and I did not get to it. €ompany most of the time, and a good sized family keep one busy all the time. I always like to have my friends come, so don't mind it, when I feel well. Aunty No, 1: Have heard of your being in our city several times. Hope You won't pass me by next time you come. How would like to have heiped you pick those berries! Biddy: Wag sorry not to have at- tended the Social Corner picnic, but family cares prevented. I know they all had a fine time with such an ideal hostess. Bee: Here ig the way I canned pine- apples this year, and we think it very nice, and it makes the pineapples go farther: Chop equal parts pineapple and rhubarb: mix and to each pint of the mixture allow one cup of gran- ulated sugar. Cook well and seal while het. I want to tell the Sisters how T can corn, and I think if they try it they won't want to go back to the old way of cooking it three hours. Mine keeps beautifully: Nine cups of cor 1-2 cup salt, 1 cup granulated sugar; mix and stand for 15 minutes; cook 1-2 hour and seal while hot. Here are some more recipes that are to be relied upon as always good: Green Tomato Mincemeat.: Chop fine four quarts of green tomatoes, drain, cover with cold water, let come to a boil, and scald for 30 minutes and drain well. Add two pounds of brown sugar, one pound of seeded raisings, one-half pound of chopped citron, one large half cup of finely chopped suet, one tablespoon’ of salt and one-half cup vinegar. Stir well together and cook until thick, when cold add one teaspoon each of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well and keep without sealing. Pepper Hash—Twelve onions, 12 zreen peppers, 12 red peppers, chop fine; pour hoiling water and let stand five minutes, drain 3 pints vinegar; 4 tablespoong galt; 2 cups sugar. Bring to bolling point; add chopped mixture, and boll 5 minutes. Let stand until cold and then seal. The sweet peppers are best. Sisters: The next time you are iron- ing and scorch anything, just sponge the spot with Peroxide, and see how quickly it will disappear, It works never had, occasion to use it on col- ored clothes, Peggy Ann: Should like to come to your pienle, but am afraid you are too far away. You certainly have an ideal spot for a picnic, Hope you will all have a good time, Polly Peppermint: Why don't you hunt me up some time when you come Bhould love to sea you any time, Don't forget Aunty 19Lh of this manth, With best wishes to all 2 RLIZA JANE, London County, HOME PRODUCTS.

A Midsummer’s Dream The girl had idled away the whole beautiful summer under the advice of her pnysician, selecting a _secluded nook among the famous Berkshire| Hills for her retreat. She knew the rest was imperative, for the long siege | at the art school had told upon her | nerves and the desire to get back to her beloved brush was so strong that she was quite willing to_do all she could to aid the prescribed treatment.
