Th'- best recipe I know for canning . h -t-ries is the following: Pit the cher- ri, s ;ind iut withall their juice into n .i.rcpla in-lined kettle, together with . o:,.-fourlh their weight in sugar and l .!,.- i upful of water to each quart of 1,-Triop. Cook them twenty minutes ; o; more, then put. into the cans while lini!ii;g hot and seal at once. If kept j:, m cool, dark place they will keep p.-rfcctly for several years. "Whn us-;. us-;. jnjr these for pies the juice may be tir;iined off to flavor sauces, etc.," but if thickened with a tablespoonful of r,"uv to each pie, it may be used in the pj. p. making them a little less solid ih.ui wh-n the fruit alone is used, but in. parting the flavor of the cherry. For pickling cherries try this one: T;.kc three pounds of sugar and one pi:;t of vinegar to every seven pounds of cherries. Boil the sugar and vine-i vine-i .cht together until clear, and skim. Put in iis many cherries as the -liquid will " cover nicely, scald and skim out. Put ; in another layer, and so on until all :( are done. To the remaining syrup ; H.id a tablespoonful each of whole j e;, , ves. cinnarrflm and . allspice, tied in ii cloth. Boil fifteen or twenty minutes: J pour over the fruit, which Tias been put into bottles, and .seal. Sweet j pickles- will keep quite a "while without i sealing if tightly covered, but it is best ' t i seal at once, and thus retain the pe- ,1 Miliar cherry flavor. LOVE AND DUTY. n sweet companionship I fared Through many long, delightful days f "With Love and Duty: then we came I i Unto the parting of the ways. f I And with a sinking heart I saw Love gaily choose the path that led Through verdant fields,, by sunny streams , Where lilies blossomed white and red. r . 5 While Duty with relentless mien ; Pressed on a narrow, cheerless way, Ai d in his steps, with .faltering feet, 1 journeyed many a weary day. ' And life for me was steeped in pain, And loneliness of heart was mine, Until I found in Duty's way Contentment sweet and jos divine. f And then one day across my way The olden glory dawned once "more; And lo: all radiant and. serene.

It is a sign of-weak of-weak character to give way to useless complaints., . A" lady,- a-client of the celebrated Aaron Burr, once said to him, when threatened with the loss of her estate: "Oh I. can never bear it. To be reduced to poverty will kill me." "No, it won't," replied Burr; "people don't die so easily." "Yes, but it will," she replied, wringing wring-ing her hands; "I shall die; I know I shall." "'Well, then, madam, at least die game." he. answered. Burr had. seen .trouble Enough, too, to know what he was talking about. EXAMPLE. To have your child truthful, be truthful. To have him temperate, be temperate, temper-ate, in all things. To have him kind to others, be yourself your-self kind to others. Prescribe beautiful amusements and so far as you can take part in them. : Prove to him by your life that a good name is to be chosen before great riches.- - Teach him that riches are not to be desniscfl hnt should never he cot bv doing harm to others: that, when acquired, ac-quired, should be treated as a trust, not a? a hoard. . r To have him honest, present to him in yourself a living example of -honesty. The chief part- of a child's knowledge comes through observation. Acts mean more to him than speech. Philadelphia Inquirer. ' THE BEST PART OF LIFE.j Fom 50 to 70 ought to be the Test part of a man's life. Af.cr 50 he is capable of more mental work, and sometinmes even of more physical work than before. His judgments are truer, his experience had taught him a great many things he can never learn in college, and if he is wise enough to conduct himself safely beyond the period pe-riod of prostratic irritation, the best part of his life is before him. Everything Every-thing conspires to make a man more useful, and happy, and contented. Freed "from the tortures of ambition, and the scorchmgs of lust and greed, the years between the ages of "0 and 70 are the golden days of his whole life. LETTERS OF INTRODUCTION.

As they are", left unsealed and delivered in person, it is embarrassing for the caller to deliver them. The lejjer should Fimply introduce intro-duce the bearer, state that he is a friend, and that any courtesy or entertainment enter-tainment shown him will be greatly appreciated. -.. : . j "GETTING RID OF THE BLUES." I Half the time people say they have. ' the "blues." all they need is to go out and get a breath of fresh air. People who have "blues" stay in houses too much, they do not exercise enough, aird they eat too much. The body is clogged wjtii a surplus of food, the lungs are ; vitiated with bad air, and the whole machinery of the body is working at low gauge. The motor wheels of the machinery drag and run heavy. This physical condition is reflected upon the mental faculties, and they become torpid and sluggish and everything every-thing takes on a depressed "blue" look. All the little worries, troubles and perplexities per-plexities are magnified, and the world seems a dismal, desolate place indeed, and the poor blue person is enveloped in a fog of misery and despair. He thinks the whole world Is topsy-turvy, and -all the elements are combining to make him wretched, that everybody Id just as mean as he feels. And yet all the while this whole worldfui of misery is centered right within himself. Outside the sun Is sinning, the birds "are singing, the grass is growing, the skies are radiantly radi-antly "blue," and the hiiis are tipped with a roseate hue.. People everywhere are going to and fro about their affairs af-fairs with sympathy in their hearts and kindliness in their eyes. The world is running over with joy, and the people In it are not as bad as they seem. What the "blue"' individual needs is to get outdoors, and absorb some of the happiness that is going to waste. He has been absorbing all sorts of indigestible in-digestible food and vitiated air until his bodv has rebelled. What he needs to do is to let up a little on eating, skip a meal, or fast for a da.v or two, take a long, briek walk, breathe in great draughts of pure oxygen, drink plenty of water. Tnis will help to eliminate the poison from the body that has been making things "blue." The machinery will commence to run easier, the wheels will quit dragging, and begin to move merrily round and round, humming a little tune that will quie the fretted nerves. The fog will clear away,, and the mind will become active, alert and fcuovant. andthe dark, deep blue wiil begin to lighten into a pale blue, and then a little pink tint will creep in, and flnallv everything will be rose color, and the whole world and everybody In It will be beautiful and goo donee more. Yes, the world is all light The trouble trou-ble is all within your own little self. You have overfed the body, or given St bad air, or deprived it of its needed reft. You may be sure when you feel "blue" you have done something or omitted to do something that was required re-quired lo keep your body in perfect working order.. One ought to feel ashamed to say that he has the blues," for it is really an admission that he has btffcn mistreating his body. So, if you ever get the "blues," do not tell anyone, but just quit eating for a while, and go outdoors, and run, and walk, and breathe until you get rid of them, and then do not do the wrong thing any more.

Through mists of rain, the old familiar famil-iar place The valley, hill and plain; And over all an unforgotten face Through mis'ts of rain. II. The sad. sweet smile the tender, pitying pity-ing eyes I shall not see again: ' Tear-shadowed memories in ghostly Guise Through mists of rain. III. The voice that thrilled me with Love's sweet unrest Its pleasure and its pain; A lock of hair Love laid upon my breast Through mists of . rain. IV. O summer gardens, lost to all delight Dim hills, and flowerless plain. It may be that she looks Love's way tonight Through mists of rain. Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. |
