All the small happenings that you hold so Lightly. I hold so dear. Are you still busy in your garden daily? What are you reading now? What do you sew? • And do you him your little songs as gaily As long ago? Are the larks singing now at dawn's awakening, In the green meadow where wild pansies grow In clusters, free for any traveller's taking? .Tell me such things as these, my heart is breaking Dear, just to know. —Maud Stewart, Saco Letter writing is a fine art and very few indeed have mastered it. No, I'm not one of the few! In fact, I'm a very indifferent correspondent and when I do bring myself to write letters and then react then over I :feel that they are pretty poor stuff. But even at that the members of my family seen: glad to receive then:, But I have received letters, would be glad to receive them oftener, which I have considered masterpieces of the Ietter-writing art, o,td have wished I could achieve something of the same quality. But it is probably a gift. Well, what I really mean is, only I said a minute ago it was an art, that you have to have some natural talent of expressing• yourself and then yen cultivate it to the best of your ability. But I have always considered that to be a good correspondent, answer- ing letters promptly, intelligently and interestingly, was a very sweet and gracious thing, and l have a friend in mind whose letters are always n delight, Wo do not carry on regular correspondence as both have many y duties devolving upon us, but ex change letters three or four times a year When she writes she tells me all about the friends with whom she communicates; about their health, their hopes, fears and ambitions, as she knows I am interested, and after reading a letter I feel as I had vis- ited that community, in which I lived for years, and had met many of nam old-time associates. She has a keen sense of humor and a very kind heart, so that even 1; she pokes a wee bit of fun at a mut, nal friend's peculiarities it is kindly fun. Indeed, I would be happy to know that no worse things were said of me, ever. And so -that correspon- dent gives genuine pleasure every time she puts pen to paper. But while it is not possible to ev- eryone to be the perfect correspon- dent—as I'm more and more inclined to think it a gift—still it is possible, if one is thinking of the other party, to make oneself a satisfactory eons respondent. Tell the things you feel you would like to know 'if the pose, tions were reversed. If you do that you'll finch that you are recounting a lot of trifling things, perhaps, but that is what the one absent from home or from the community wishes to know. And avoid as much as posy Bible telling sad or disquieting things, I do not mean that if one is seriousin ill and the other party has a right to know that you should suppress that, It is extraordinary circumstances which justify one member of a fain. ily in keeping from another the true state of health of one in whom both are equally interested. 'But if you should have some minor ailment, a5 a headache, or a fit of indigestion :brought on by injudicious eating, or are over tired, do not inflict this upon your correspondent. If you cannot write without mentioning it, wait un. til you can. Do riottell financioj troubles which will in time mend themselves, do not tell about the quar- rels of neighbors, unless they are always occurring and you make a joke of thein.

Summer diarr- hoea is one of the most fatal condi- ; tions which attacks young children; • it brings death to over five thousand ' iLlanadian babies each year. ':Most of the cases and deaths oectir during the months of August and September, and this is the reason Why, at -this 'time, we wish to urge ' inion the parents of babies the need fbr •stioh extra tare as will protect 'their ehildren. • The. most important point in 'this •-care has to do with 'the milk which the child receives 'If 'the baby' is breast-fed, there, is no -danger in so far as his milk -needs are concerned, For the child who is using cows' ' milk, it is absoluetlyessential that the milk be pure and clean. In warm weather there is a greater chance' of -.contamination; there are flies and -other insects, which may earry filth • -to unprotected milk, and germs mul, tiply rapidly in warm. milk. It may be said that no raw milk is a 'safe milk, at least for young chil- dren, and that it should be either pasteurised or boiled before using. This heating . destroys the germs which may have entered the milli and which, alth'ougli they may not .cause disease in the adult, may and ,:often do set up a 'diarrhoea in 'the baby. 4Vlilk, 'after 'it has been prepared, must be kept cold and Covered until it is used. There is no object in securing pure milk unless it is kept pure until It is used. Babies should 'drink plenty, of cool unsweetened water. On hot days the baby 'needs more water and so he should be given more opportunities to drink. When the weather is very hot, the baby needs little or no clothing . He is made comfortable by cool baths, and should be kept in the cooler shade during the heat of the day. ' Summer diarrhoea should never; be neglected. Promlit treatment would save. 'the -lives 'of many babies who now' die. Because so ' many cases o.eeur, -parents are apt to think that summer diarrhoea. is not serious; they try 'the remedies that someone suggests and, in the meantime, the strength of the baby goes and it too 'late to do anything for.him. We do net wish to be alarmist's, but it is difficult for us. to forget the five thousand babies .who die each year from summer diarrhoea, and that is why we say to. parents, Beware and Take Carel Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation; 184 College Street, Toren. t'o, will be answered personally by letter. anent looks much more serious than if, made by spoken word,, with aocom, panying explanatory looks. Plan to make your correspondent happier as. he or she reads your letter, and you wi11 be apt to write cheerfully and happily: And, this is very impor- tant, if your correspondent has asked, for any information be sure and give it. Answer any question asked, tell the news whichyou know your cor- respondent will be pleased to hear and write cheerfully and you wiII have gone a long way towards being a perfect correspondent., REBEKAAHI, ass Summer Menus Here are some suggestions for in- teresting dishes that will aid you when you wish to.entertain.

Canning Hints (Experimental Farms Note) The canning season opens in early May at the Dominion Experimental Station, Morden. Asparagus conies first. This with other non-acid vege- tables as peas and beans, should have one teaspoonful of lemon juke added to the quart par to prevent develop- ment of botulins. Small beets may be canned for vegetables by packing in sterilized jars after blanching fifteen minutes and skinning, then to 1 quart add! 1 teaspoon, salt, 1. teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon vinegar, then fill to over. flowing with boiling water and pro- cess one hour. Tomato juice, one of the newer home -canned products, depends large- ly on the choice of mildly acid ripe tomatoes for its fine flavor, and upon the despatch in handling for its nu, tritive value. Stem and core the to- matoes, slightly crush, and bring almost to the boil, season to taste and seal in bottles or jars, and pro- eess two minutes for bottles and five minutes for jars, •Strawberries retain their color, and remain distributed in jars when can ned by the overnight method. Sim, mer for five minutes in sprup (3 cups sugar to 2 cups water) leaving ,un- covered overnight. In the morning pack in jars and process eight min- utes. Outstanding among the new jellies has been that made from Prunus To mentosa, or Nanking Cherry, wbili the underriipe Compass Cherry, makes an excellent product, as also does rhubarb if used at the very first of the season. White Currants and gooseberry rank high for standard tart jellies, and Hibernal apple and Dcigo crab for mild jelly, the latter being colorful. In jam making, among the hybrid Plums the- Red Wing variety stands highest while Kaga and Henske else give popular apricot -flavored jam. If commercial pectin is used in their preparation,' more of the natural tra- m and color is retained. The hybrid plums are best canned in the open kettle until the spins are tender: The Rosilla crab apple, peek, ed and cooked in: the jar is a. high duality product- of smooth texture, suggesting canned pears..

AN OLD INDIAN CUSTOM Iinden the towering peaks of "Fail, ing Rocks" mountain range, near Hazelton, B.C., of native graveyard is a blend of paganism and the new faith, Though many Indians have been Christianized, complete minia- ture houses have been built overt many of tlib graves. Clothes and be- lengings of the departed are placed inside. In one skirts, shoes, corsets and mirror, brush and comb are lung on the walls. In another an enlarged portrait stands against a trunk filled with garments and toilet articles. Over chiefs' graves stone poems symbolical of their clan are carved. Food is placed in the houses -al- most daily. It is invariably carried away by wild animals, such as squir, rels and rabbits, but the Indians ex- plain the spirits get the food through the wild life. Daisy Queen Jewel, a mature Hol- stein cow, bred and owned by Richard Claike, Atwood, Ont., has just com- pleted a taction period in the 305 day division of the R.O.P. with a total yield of 16,118 lbs. milk containing '701.25 lbs. butter. She was milked twice daily for the full year. "GLOOMY DEAN" DEFENDS AGE The retiring Gloomy Dean of St. Paul's, Dean Inge, wvho'recently said: "I do not t hink that this is an irre- Iigious age. In two places which I know well --:the two great universi, ties it seems to me that there is more keenness about religion, mare real earnestness now than when I was young." He also said the Bible was antiquated and should be re- written in a modern language. "We Cannot expect a workingman whose education has been a smatter- ing of purely modern subjects, and whose main interests are in problems of work and wages and politics, 10 feel himself at hone with either the Bible or the Prayer Book. "They are not written in his lan- guage. "We need a great constructive lab- or of Christian theology which shall make the faith intelligible and satis- fying to those whose education has been of the modern type. "The modern man wants to be a real Christian, He wants to hear, the real Gospel of Christ from the pulpit But he must hear it in the tongue in which he was born, and not in the tongue of 1,500 years ago."

THIS MODEST CORNER IS DEDICATED: TO THE POETS Here They-Wil'1 Sing You Their Songs -Sometimes Gay, Sometimes Sad— But Always Helpful and, Ins piring. LINES Composed a few miles above Tin, tern Abbey, on revisiting the banks of the Wye During a tour. Five years have past; five summers, with the length Of five long winters! and 'again I hear These waters, rolling from their r mountain springs With a soft inland murmur.—Once again Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs, That on a wild secluded scene impress Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect The landscape with the quiet of the sky. The day is come when I again repose here, under this dark sycamore, and view - These plots of cottage ground, these orchard -tufts, Which at this season, with their un- ripe fruits, Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves 'Mid groves and copses. Once again I see These hedge -rows, hardly hedge- rows, little lines Of sportive wood run wild: these pas- toral farms, Green to the very door; and wreaths of stroke Sent up, in silence, from among the trees! With some uncertain notice, as might seem Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods, Or of some hermit's cave, where by his fire The Hermit sits alone. These beauteous forms, Through a long absence, have not been to me As is a landscape to a blind man's eye: But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din Of towns and cities, I have owed to them In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Pelt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing even into any purer mind With tranquil restoration:—feelings too Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps, As have no slight or trivial influence On that best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust, To them I may have owed another gift, Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood, In which the burthen of the mystery, In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible world, Is lightened:—that serene and tiles - sed mood i In which the affections gently lead us on,—' Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of ley, We see into the life .of things. If this Be but a vain belief, yet, oh! how oft In darkness and amid the many shapes Of joyous daylight; when the fretful stir Unprofitable, and the fever of the word, Rave hung upon the beatings of my heart—, How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee, 0 sylvan Wye! thou wanderer thro' the woods, How often has my spirit turned to thee!: And now, with gleams of haif-ex- tinguished thought, 'With many recognitions dim and faint And somewhat of a sad .perplexity, The picture of themind revives a- gain: While here I stand, not only withthe 501150 Of present pleasure, but with pleas- ing thoughts That in this moment there is life and food , For future years. And so I dere bo hope, Though changed; no doubt, from wldal I was when fi I came along these roe ' I bonded o'er the sides 01 the deep rivers, fir hills; when Mee a mountains, by the and the lonely Wherever nature led: more like a man Flying from something that he , dreaded than one Who sought the thing he Ioved, For 'nature then (The coarser pleasures of my boyish days, And their glad animal movements all gone by) To me was all in all. I carnet paint What then I was. The sounding cataract Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock, The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood, Their colours and their forms, were then to me An appetite: a feeling and a love, That ,had no need of a remoter charm, By thought supplied, nor any interest Unborrowed from the eye,—That time is past, And all its aching joys are now no more, And all its dizzy-apttn•es. Not for this Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur; oth- er gifts • Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, Abundant• recompense. Por I have learned To look on nature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes The still sad music of humanity. Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue, And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy 01 elevated thoughts; a sense sub- lime Of something far more deeply inter- fused, Whose dwelling is the light of set. ting suns, And the round ocean and the living air, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man; A notion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things. There. fora am I still A lover of the meadows and trte woods, And mountains; and of all that we behold Front this green earth; of all the mighty world Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create, And what perceive; well pleased to recognize In nature and the Language of the sense, The anchor of my purest thoughts, to nurse, - The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Of all my moral being. • Nor perchance, If I were not thus taught, should I the more Suffer my genial spirits to decay: For thou art with me here upon the banks Of this fair river; thou my dearest Friend, My dear, dear Friend; and in thy voice I catch Tho language of my former heart, and react 112y former pleasures in the shooting lights Of thy wild eyes. Oh! yet a little while May I behold in thee what I was once my dear, dear Sister! and this pray- er .1 make, Inowing that Nature never did be- tray The .heart' that loved her; 'tis her privilege, Through all the years -of this our life to lead From joy to, joy; for she catt so in- form The mind that is within us, so. im. press With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, Nor greetings where no kindness iso nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall e'er prevail against us, or dis- turb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold If full of blessings. Therefore lel the moon Shine on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty mountain -winds be free To blow against thee: and, in after years, When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy memory be as a dwelling -place For all sweet sounds and harmonies; ell, then, If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief., Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts Of tender joy ti'ilt thou remember me, And these my exhortations! Nor, per- . chance -- If I should be where I no more can hear Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams Of past existence—wilt thou then forget That on the banks of this delightful stream We stood together; and that I, so long A worshipper 'ef Nature, hither came Unwearied in that service: rather say With warmer love—oatl with far deeper zeal Of holier love. Nor wilt thou then forget, That after many wanderings, many years Of absence, these steep woods and lofty cliffs, And this green pastoral landscape, were to me More dear, both for themselves and for thy sake!
