Nothing is =0 beautiful to me as a window full of plants and blossoms. 1 your plants look sickly, give them a little plant food; and a teaspoonful of ammonia in a pail of water when you water them. This will make the Jeaves nice and green. To get rid of the little white worms that' get in the flower pots, I kill the little flies on the outside of the pots. 1 have ridden my flowers of the lit- tle pest for several years.

On the second morning she left the train ‘and_went to a grocery store, where =hé filled the extension case with the articles of food needed for ended at a cross-road a half mile from home. As she approached the house for the first time in twelve long vears, she noted” the pasture and meadow which had furnished feed for the cows in the past and which had sincepaid the neighbor for his care of the place; the tiny house with slopling roof; the tiny cow shed; a hen' house and 1 e woodshed by the door, mear Back of the house was the garden with its row of currant bushes and rhubarb. There were a few apple trees scattered around, while a cher- ry tree shared the front yard with a lilace and some old fashioned roses. On theopposite side of the road was the tangled wood lot that had been out to furnish money for her mother's sickness and death, and the little fam- fly cemetery where slept her parents and grandparents, and two or three little ones. She unlocked the front door and thi went into the tiny hall with narrow stairs Jeading to”the loft, and a door on the right opening with the living room. There was the rag car- pet, four wooden chairs and two rock- ers, with calico cushions, and backs, a fall-leaf table with a red felt cov- ef and a lamp in the center, an alir- tight stove, a calico covered home- magde couch and sn old-time desk. On the wall was a set of book-shelves and pictures of Washington and Lincoln. On_a lttle stand was the family Bible and a work basket, and on the narrow shelf stood the old clock and a pair of china vases. Everything showed that Neighbor Brown and his good wife had been faithful to their trust. Back of this room was the bed- room, also carpeted with rag carpet, with a four-foot bedstead with straw and feather ticks( pillow; an old-time bureau; a wash stand with bowl and pitcher: and a little stand and a split- hottomed chair. Beside the bedroom door was the kitchen with an old-fashioned cook- stove, a square table covered with oll cloth and four split chairs. On the high shelf was a small lamp. In the corner cupboard was the dishes and in the small “lean-to” at the back W!ls the little sink room and a pan- .!Tp stalrs was a space filled with chests and boxes and a. small room with home-made rugs, a—bed, wash- stand and bureau, which looked like light part, dark part, alternately.

The Cuban hut is very interesting and pic- turesque in the picture, but for a per- manent home I should prefer Maine. I like our delightful summers—one never experiences uncomfortable heat here. Our trees are mostly fir and in winter they take the ess and bleakness from the landscape, which a leafless tree cannot. So many seem to have the impression that Maine is & cold, snow-bound place, and that by the time we get shoveled out from our last spring snow, the fall snows begin. We have much jess snow here on the island than on the mainland. 1 am sending a few recipes which I hope some of you will try. This is my fayorite way of cooking chicken: ] wonder if any of you use toothpicks and white string to close the openings in roast chicken insiead of the usual and needle method? It requires nbout four or five toothpicks placed horizontally across the opening so that the ‘ends pl.m through the flesh on both sl Place string over the two Polnta of first hathpicl. eross. daut thread over the second points, and continue untll the last one is reached, then tie.
