Dear Sisters of the;Social Corner:— Those of us whose duty it,is to plan the cooking and baking for the house- hold often find it rather monotonous.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:—Happy ereetings to vou all. Isn't it glorious to see the sun? Keep in the sunlight. Nothing beautiful or sweet grows or ripens in the darkness. Never look on the dark side; take sunny views of evervthing. A sunny thought drives away shadows. Form a habit of throw ing off at night before going to bed, all the cares and anxieties of the day— everything which can possib mental wear and tear or deprive you of rest. Avoid excesses of all kinds; they are injurious. The long life must be a temperate, regular life. Avoid fear in all its varied forms of expression. It is the greatest enemy of the human race. Cultivate the spirit of content- ment. All discontent and dissatisfac- tion bring age furrows prematurely to the face. Don’t live to eat, but eat to live. Many of our ills are due to over- eating; to eating tbe wrong things; and to irregular eating. Don't allow yourself to think on vour birthday that you are a year older and so much nearer the end. Be truthful—nothing sullies the life so much as a lie. Pe true, be tru e true: and it dof the night, thou can any man. to thine follow a 't not be own self he day false to MOTHER HUBBARD.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER. “CANNED STUFF.” Dear Social Corner Sisters:—There is a great cry against “canned stuff’ by some people because it may be hLurtful and by others because it is expensive, and by others because its use shows laziness, but I have used it because all kinds of food is so high I try to get all I can for the money and I have never found a poor can. I al- ways take everything from the can just as soon as opened. 1'buy 2 cans of etring beans and 2 cans of peas (32 cents) and heat with a small piece of pork and with pota- toes, bread and dessert, it makes a dinner for six hearty eaters and there is_always some to spare. Then I buy 2 cans of lima beans and a can of corn (28 cents), serve the same way and have a good dinner for six. One can of salmon, with potatoes, bread and aessert, makes a dinner. ‘Two cans of corn (15 cents) with a lttle milk added when heated is a go0d breakfast, supper or lunch dish with a few. slces of steamed bread. I serve little meat with the canned vegetables and it does not take long to cook them—quite an item on a hot day. BPTA BARBER. . BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARIES.

He employed several good men who were supplied with the best, latest and mod- ern farming tools. His house was well furnished and he had recently remod- cled it in modern style. His wife and maid, like himself and men, were pro- vided with useful, needy and new im- plements to make their work as light and easy as possible. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were intel- lectual and well educated. Their tables and book shelves were filled with magazines, papers and books of a miscellaneous nature, which con- tained much useful information, and any one who wished to acquire knowl- edge, or to while away their time could peruse them. They intended to give their two soms a collese ecducation after they had finished their high school course if they continued well and prosperous. Mr. Brown was not a rich man; but his large bank account, which had been acquired by his own energy and sturdy character, proved his ability to increase the amount each year. Mrs, Brown and her husband man- aged their affairs economically, for she was a frugal housekeeper and he a thrifty farmer, and they felt that if they cared for, and captured the cents the dollars would multiply and take care of themselves. They were not mean or penurious, for they made their worlk as casy and practical as possible. Their table was provided with good and plenty of wholesome food. Their clothes were good and stylish but not showy and expensive. They took time r recreation and fed their minds each day by reading not only the daily news and current events, but other lit- erature during their leisure moments. Their aste did not induce them to live avagantly but comfortably, and in Il enjoyment of the many pleasures that their possessions procured for thém as a reward, for their dilizent the nd arents opinions. s | 3 H i ally the cgse, did not alw | The Jads were quite indus { trious, polite and good; but hike chi | dren in sencral wished to have the {own way and wanted the best of eve heir parents did not reserve | s and fruit of an inferior for home consumption, neither < Qid they retain the best, a plentiful supply of| thin 1 medium qu s of spite vig- | | saia The Mystery Behind Closed Doors When their father and the hired man, Amos, were at work at some dis- tance from the apple-house, the boys would, when at home, fill a couple of bags with apples and carry them to their hiding place. i After a few days the men missed the apples. The farmer had Amos watch by night for the thieves. The vigilant watching was of no avail for no one was scen taking the fruit, and yet the apples continued to disappear each day. A Amos spent much time in thought while watching for burglars, and one night he conceived a new idea, and im- mediately the next morning made preparations to perfect his plans =o that he would be able to find out if there was any truth in his surmises. He hired a young man to take his place for the day, then asked for' per- mission to go to visit his mother who lived thinty miles away. Mr. Brown gzranted his request, and took him to the depot, then he himself, ‘went to the city to transact some bus- inees which necessitated his absence from home the greater part of the day. Instead of taking the train as all the form supposed he did, Amos returned to the farm, and hid himself bekind some barrels in the apple house. He waited two hours after Grey and Par- nest had eaten their dinner before they visited the apple heap and began filling their bags with the assorted fruit. Amos stepped out and faced them, the boys screamed and started to rush from the building, but Amos stepped outside and partly closed the sliding door; he then pushed in from the out- side, while the boys were pushing out from within. Just at this moment Farmer Brown returned from the city, and _hearing voices and seeing Amos holding the door, he sprang from the buggy. took his horsewhip in his hand and hastened to the apple-house, his dog following closely at his he Amos stepped de, and the door opened and Mr. Brown and his sons confrontsd each other. The boys could not move or speak because they were taken unawares and were So astonished and eurprised to see their father whom they supposed to De in the city at this time. Before they could recover their scattered senses their father sent Amos on an errand, then he and his dog stepped in- side and the door closed after No listeners vere abonut to hear any | sound or movement from behind those closed doors, and nothing w: concerning what transp at time; but on the following day the two bovs were very s me.

DELICIOUS NOVELTIES. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few novelties which may please some of you: A delicious movelty in the manner of serving cottage cheese is to put the cheese throush a finely perforated ricer, so that it looks like a fluffy mass of small spaghetti. Place in a deep dish upon a mass of lettuce leaves, the edges of which just peep above the sides of the cheese like dainty frills of green, while the center of the cheese itself is covered with a layer of preserved strawberries. Did you ever try green peppers stuffeq with codfish flakes? They are all right. Prepare the peppers by cut- ting a slice from the stem ends, then cutting in halves and removing the seeds. Soak in cold water for half an hour and then parboil for 15 min- utes in two waters that have been well salted. Drain and fill with the following: Melt two tablespoons of butter, blend with two tablespoons of flour ‘and gradually add one scant cup of rich milk. Stir constantly un- til well thickened and the sauce bolls; add one can of fish flakes, one chopped hard-boiled egg and just be- fore its removal from the fire, add two - tablespoons of tomato catsup. Turn into the halved peppers, sprin- kle the tops with browned bread crumbs, dot with bits of butter and place in a hot oven for,10 minutes. Serve on rounds of hot buttered toast. Many delicious « variations can be made with,the,plain.omelet as a point of departure, Sardines broken up and mixed with lemon juice and meited butter,, anchovy p: 8, n.;tuspomtul mixed ' smooth with two tablespoons of melted butter; grated.cheese of any the nicest|ent boys could be found anywher hat W 1 the farm to ea th v were, for they realized as carried three en they must resard | B the darkest cor: } whieh he reg ! emain until it wa e | 1z business as an es. | to & 0 the cellar ed power, and which they must o in the stalk help to guard and sustain. i in rn where DIANA. | el | THINGS IT IS WELL TC KNOW. | HousEHOLD HINTS IN RHYME. ll Social ( 8] Sisters: Here | parafin will make your win- | L few ings it be well to | s nice and bright, | know what is more, upon them the o s » s will not alight, [ SpTorkesp millc fomst, fom Teooming | s fkoWbuigtitest febavor: raswel sl 1| in a covered y r. s that each per- slifne I bt Dt e Do | Iwoumt lead with turpentine. |2 _ | If_ink vou spill, without a doubt, | To clean chamois skins, soak them | Milk, used at once, will take it out. hen washir on a mat— Your fect will not ache as when stand- ing quite flat.

Then wash it, and see how those ink- spots will fly. stand, and do THE WAY TO SERVE MEATS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The following ways of cooking meats will be found satisfying: “Purely Cuban” way of Cocking a Steak: Procure a good piece of meat, rub it well on both sides with a raw onfon, from which a thick slice has been ‘cut; over it by spoons put the strained juice of a sour orange (no, lemon will not take its place). Allow it to stand and blend for two hours before cooking. Turn it over several times so the juice will penetrate all parts of the steak. Broil it in the regulation way. Season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika and Soft butter. Send to table on a very hot platter. Down there the broiling is done over charcoal, on astone bullt in the ground, but as our gas ranges have broiling ovens, they are an admirable substitute. Chicken Cutlets: One cup of chop- ped cooked chicken seasoned with one-half teaspoon of salt, one-fourth teaspoon of pepper, a few drops of onion juice and one teaspoon of lem- on juice. Make a sauce, using two tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon of fiour, one-half cup of cream and one egg: add this to ohicken, and cook all together three minutes. Cool, shape in the form of cutlets, roll in fine breadcrumbs, @ip in egg,“Toll in crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve kind, a cup of ‘cooked oysters finely minced, , chopped parsley, as well as any bits,of ham, minced meat, kidney, chicken, . liver, sausage, cooked bacon, all these additions are:worth while, A dellcate - change , from the plain kind is the omelet a la creme. For it make a cream sauce and mix_half a cup with the six-egg.omelet before cook- ing. ' Spread. the same’ amount ot cream_ sauce on half of the omelet be- fore folding it. - This sauce should be moderately thick, made with a cup of milk, and two tablespoons each of butter and flour. Best wishes for all L PR with a white mushroom sauce. Stewed Veal is easily managed. Use a brisket or knuckle of veal, cut into pleces of about an inch square, brown in a tablespoon of lard, which has been seasoned with pepper and salt. Ada two small potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters, two onions, two carrots, and when they have been in about 10 minutes add two pints of boiling hot water and let simmer an hour or more. A good deal in the success of a dish of sweetbreads depends on their treat- ment before they are cooked. They in cold water, and they should then be blanched by putting them in boil- ing water for five or ten minutes and then cooling them in cold water. Of course, it goes without saying thet the sweetbreads should be absolutely fresh when they are bought. To make veal and ham patties take two cups of cold minced veal, one- half cup of minced ham, one cup of veal gravy, one cup of milk, one-half cup of cracker crumbs, one beaten egg; stir together, line pattie shells with pie crust, brush them with melt- ed butter, and bake. FHeat the meat mixture to boiling point, fill the baked shells, and garnish with parsley. Beef Loaf: Cut as much underdone cold meat as is required. Put it through a mincing machine and mix ‘with fine bread crumbs half the quan- tity of the beef. Season with one tea- spoon chopped parsley, one-half ounce thyme, two ounces butter, half cup very good gravy or cream, a high sea- soning of nutnieg, sait, cayenne, mace and two eggs. Grease a mold, put in the mixture, bake about 45 minutes, turn out and send to table with plenty of brown gravy An oxceptional sauce for meat is made in the following manner: Take a large turnip, pare and grate it fine. To the grated turnip add a spoon of oil, also one of vinegar, a tea- spoon of sugar, teaspoon of salt, a generous sprinkling of pepper, a ta- blespcon of finely-cihcpped capers, a teaspoon of finely-chopped parsley and one red pepper, chopped. Mix all thoroughly, put in a glass dish and serve with cold meats or boiled beef or mutton. HANNAH WHO. RECIPES FOR CANNING GOOSE- BERRIES.

PAULA. MAKING THE MOST OF THE PORCH. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: There are various ways of making the most of the porch in the summer time. Two novelties which are especially nice for the living porch are a table scrap basket and a pillow rack. The table scrap basket consists of three four foct rods of bamboo, of some other light wood, placed at right angles to each other, forming the legs as well as the frame with a low- er shelf, set about four inches from the floor. Above the shelf at about the distance of a foot is placed an ordinary round hat box with a lid that works on hinges and this box, like the shelf, is covered with fancy chintz, coarse crash or tapestry. It may be as simple or as claborate as desired. The pillow rack which any clever amateur carpenter can make, is a dou- ble book-rack open at all sides and provided with shelves. You can have as many or as few shelves as you wish 50 as to hold two sofa pilows or eight- een. When the various members of the family get through with the pillows in the hamock they can return them to the porch, then there will be fewer pillows destroyed by rain. KNOW ALL. A HOME MADE FIRE EXTIN- GUISHER. Procure some flat bottles that hold one quart, or more, then make a So. lution composed of one gallon of wa- ter, one and one-half pounds sal-am- monia and three pounds salt; fill bot- tles three-quarters full, or a little more, cork, seal and then' tie a stout cord ‘around the neck of each bottle with a loop; hang in a handy place. In case of fire shake the bottle, then throw as near the fire as possible. This forms a gas that will smother the fire right out. By using this you may put out a small fire, or help ex- tinguish what might be a large one. 1 hope the chief of the fire depart- ment will read this and see if it is worthy of approval. This recipe came from a man in Boston. BETHELYN. A REFRESHING DRINK. Fixing malted ilk, add I table- spoon malted milk, 1 teaspoon of co- coa, flll up with hot milk.

In not a few cases the most attactive place in the growing town is the now building or theater where the “cinema” is shown.” In regard to prices of admission, Mr. Rei_writes that they are generally considerably higher than in this coun try. In Brazil, which is perhaps typi- cal of all the countries, the import duty on films is about $5.50 per pound; while for an average motion-picture machine a duty of $30 must be paid. To the above amounts must be added certain smaller taxes, stamps. brokers® fees, etc., all of which act as a check on more active importations. Ac- cordingly, the admission fees to the shows are higher than in the United States, 25 to 15 cents belng not an un- common charge. In a new motion- picture theater in Rosario, Arsentina, Mr. Reid says he paid 42 cents for a cket which was good for only an ordinary seat, a box seat in the same house being quoted at $1.27 in addi- tion to the general admission. In other cities the ordinary admission Is from 15 cents up, and nowhere was the price as low as 5 cents, so common in 0—1744 A SPLENDID DRESS IN TAILORED STYLE.

Have as Great a Hold on People There as Anywhere Else. of Almost everybody goes to the " in South America. They call them “cinemas’ down there—but they are “movies” just the same. It is one instance of abbreviation even among the Spanish-speaking pcople—the full- fledged name, ‘“‘cinematugrafo,” having proved too burdensome even for them. And as suggested, everyone takes them in—aristocrat and peon, rich and poor, young and old, all classes and kinds except the unfortunate blind. In the matter of popularity and char- acter of attendance, therefore, the “movie” has nothing on the “cinema,” but there are some few points of dif- ference in the way they are managed, differences which are entertalqg)y brought out in an article by William A. Reid in the current number of the Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Washington, D. C. For instance, he ‘writes: “In Rio de Janeiro the best motion pikcture itheaters do not follow the custom of allowing patrons to drop in and out at will. A film Is adver- tised to begin at a certain hour of the afternoon or evening; at the appointed time doors are closed, or in most cases @ heavy and highly decorated curtain is dropped, and the show in the audi- torium begins. A rather novel ar- rangement, also noted in other Bra- zilian cities, is_the waiting lobby im- mediately in front of the entrance proper. After purchasing a ticket the patron enters the lobby or corridor, takes a comfortable seat and waits until the termination of the first sec- tion of the play, the time of which may be a few minutes or half an hour. While waiting one may listen to the band of music, which may be heard equally well by those within the lobby or in the audlence. At times the crowds become congested, and all the lobby seats are occupied;- in such cases the ticket seller withholds fur- ther admissions and the swelling crowd of waiting patrons must re- main in the street until seats are available. “In most of the larger cities of South America the motion-picture theaters represent a considerablo out- lay of capital. If they have not been constructed especially for this class of business they are in most cases buildings that have been remodeled and modernized, and elegance and at- tractiveness are leading features. In recent years some of the finest play- houses have thrown open their doors for moving pictures, a fact that per- mits the humble citizens to get within the marble palaces of amusement that adorn most South American capitals. too, has made its way to the smaller towns and even to the Charles E. Hughes is for a nation by its best men instead of "delervinl! to be jm“;fl popular as in the great hamlet, where the amusement appears this country. One of the most practical uses to which the motion picture is applied in South America is the service at the Argentine Immigration Bureau in Buencs Aires. In normal times that country receives 1,000 immigrants per day. These people are kept for a week at Government expense at an immi- grant hotel, and during their sojourn a series of motion pictures not only entertains but instructs the newcom- ers in the agricultursl activities of the country, showing ' them glimpses of heme life on the vast pampas where they are soon to be located, and others, wise imparting general information’ they should have. Another innovation he found was where a leading church in the Argentine capital had installed a good moving picture outfit. It was operated at frequent intervals, show- ing malinly educational and religious subjects and “judging by the immense gathering of children clamoring for admission, which was free, the inno- vation was popular, and the voung minds were receiving lessons and up- 1ift stories that were never forgotten.” Starts a Balky Horse. The balky horse has the most sense and the confirmed runaway horse ‘the least sense of any horse, says a writer in Our Dumb Animals. The balky horse is not to be cured by beating and abuse. When a horse makes up his mind to balk he has no room in his mind for anything else. Whipping only increases Lis stulf< bornness, but there is a method Which goes to the cause of the trouble. 'With a single idea in his head, it was rea- soned that the best way to get the horse to mov¥e was to give him an- other idea—something else to think about. Horses and mules resent interfer- ence with their liberty to move their ears at will It was noticed that & horse never changes 'his course of ac- tion without moving his ears. It was then found that when a horse balked it annoyed him to have one ear pushed under the crown of the bridle so that he could not move it. And it was also found that if the ear was left there for about 20 minutes he was so annoyed that he forzot about his determination to balk. He shook his head, turned to one side and then the other, and made cvery effort to release the ear. This occupied his mind until when the driver ordered him to go he went. After b few min- utes the ear was released, and he went on as if he had forgotten all about balking. The Coal Supply.
