The Finished Beverage—In the
making there are just three essen-
tials, very simple ones and easy to
attain, and too often they are all ne-

water, a jumping boil; watch the
tea -kettle as.a cat watches a mouse
hole and when it "surges wildly" as
the Orientals say, jump for it!
Second, use an earthenware, porce-
lain or china pot—not metal, and pre-
heat it by rinsing in hot water.
Third, pour on the water (one cup

stew of bitterness and unwholesome-

Its fragrance is gone, its delicacy has
fled, and the whole party is completely
spoiled, for either health or pleasure.

In severe weather every mother

keep the baby's hands from pushing
down the ewers and getting almost
blue with the cold. We can put stock-

little sleepers with feet in them and
thus protect his lower limbs, but those
lively pink fingers are a problem. A
very simple solution for this is to
take his old white cotton stockings,
which he will not wear in cold weath-
er and which would very likely be too
small for hien next summer, cut out
the feet and stitch across firmly on
the machine. These snake nice elastic
mittens that can be pulled up over

In such a way that he cannot pull

The Little House.
So tiny seemed the little house,
Scarce room for bed and board;
Yet here were love and happiness
In heaping measure poured.
But now too large the little house,
For one has gone away,
And through the high and empty
rooms
The joyless echoes stray.
Still ever round the little house
The sweetest memories cling
Of laughing face and dancing feet,
That made our hearts to sing.
Oh, Father, keep the little house;
Bring balm and tender care;
May seniles again of happiness
In Thy good time be there.

APPLE LOLLIPOPS.
When children tire of the custom-
ary and wholesome apple which forms
a part of the noontime lunch, give
them a delightful surprise by putting
in a candy -coated one.
Make a syrup of one pound of gran-
ulated sugar, one tablespoonful of
vinegar and two cupfuls of water.
Boil this till it spins a thread, but do
not stir or it will get sugary. Add a
little red cake coloring if you have it
on hand. Insert thin sticks about four j
inches long in the stem ends of bright,
red apples. Next dip the apples into
the hot syrup, holding them by the'
sticks; then set them on waxed paper
to cool. You have 'transformed com-1
mon apples into lollipops, which will
make an instant appeal to the imag-
ination and palate.
If yellow apples are used drop •a
bit of butter color into the syrup and
pretty golden glazed apples will be
the result.
