When one thirties of the time one must spend in company with one- self, without the aid of outsiders to comfort, instruct or amuse, it would •seem a wise thing to train our own minds to be good company. The person who can look forward with •pleasure to spending an evening a- lone is one who has mastered a lot of things which tend to ruffle one's peace, to which the one who dreads an hour alone is still in bondage. •,:lczets Just now wnei appetites aro a bit finicky, it is well to try some new re- cipes, the 'fight of something entire- ly new on the table will whet lagging appetites.

Dissolve the soda in the sour milk, add beaten eggs, hon- ey and sifted flour and salt. Drop by spoonfuls into deep, hot fat, tem- perature 360 degrees. Serve hot with coffee. It is well to train the mind to keep one in good company; to culti- vate ennoblingthoughts, not giving room to petty and ntiworthy ones• to form in early life the habit of reading so that there is ever at hand the means of entertainment second to none in the morid; to learn to think the best of everyone so that we may not ascribe mean and ignoble motives; to shun the fatal habit of looking regretfully back and to cul- tivate the habit of looking ever for- ward to better things in the future.

SOUNDS OF CHILD'S LAUGHTER All the bells of heaven may ring, All the births of heaven may sing, All the wells on earth may spring, All the winds on earth may bring All sweet sounds together; Sweeter far than all things heard, Hand of harper, tone of birch, Sound of wood; at sundown stirred, Welling water's winsome word, Wind in warm wan weather.
