dying couch —and legions of men and women who
hunger and thirst for the salvation of souls and the
betterment of the world. And in the great Com
mencement Day could we not picture a class of
graduates, white-robed and blood-washed, singing as
the poet sang:
“There is a jewel which no Indian mine can buy,
No chemic art can counterfeit;
It makes men rich in greatest poverty,
Makes water wine, turns wooden cups to gold,
The homely whistle to sweet music’s strain;
Seldom It comes to few from Heaven sent —
That much in little —all in naught —Content.”

KITCHEN TALKS.
A few days ago I was helping a neighbor—a young
housekeeper —with her work, she having a sick
mother and expecting company. I turned around
from washing potatoes in time to see her dump a
large panful of stale bread into the stove fire.
“Emmie,” I said, “that is sinful waste.” She laughed
and declared I was as bad as her old darky nurse,
who used to tell her that she would be sent back
after she died to hunt for the ashes of everything
eatable she had thrown into the fire, and she would
have to burn in the bad place nine days for every
grain of ashes.
“Well, I don’t go that far,” I answered, “but I
agree with the Old Mother Goose rhyme:
“ ‘He who has and throws away
Will live to want another day.’ ”
Stale bread, for instance. Soaked in milk, it makes
nice muffins, and it may form the staple for a num
ber of palatable desserts. Combined with milk, an
egg, a few chopped raisins and a little butter, it
makes a delicious pudding, and there is constant
need for bits of stale bread in making dressing for
fowls and cooking oysters and vegetables. If put in
a closed tin can, it may be kept for quite a while. I
have seen persons throw away cold potatoes, when
these may be mashed, seasoned with salt and pepper,
mixed with an egg and made into little cakes that
can be fried or baked. I have been asked to give
my recipe for spice cake. To make it, mix one egg,
one cup of sugar, half a cup of butter, one cup of

rich sour milk, one teaspoon each of soda, cinnamon,
clove and nutmeg, one cup of chopped raisins, two
scant cups of flour and a pinch of salt. Bake in a
moderate oven. Recently our town club met at my
home, unexpectedly to me, as it was not my time to
entertain it. I had nothing in the house in the way
of refreshments and could get nothing at the grocery
store but a box of figs and some little tea cakes. I
had a package of tapioca in the house. I put three
tablespoonfuls of it, with two cups of water and a
teaspoonful of butter, in my little white enameled
boiler and cooked it until it was clear, stirring con
stantly. Then I chopped the figs—there were about
half a pound—very fine and added a cup of water
and one of sugar. This was cooked until smooth
and thick, then taken from the stove and mixed
with the tapioca, adding half a teaspoon of vanilla
flavoring. It was served cold in sherbet glasses
with whipped cream on top, and it was pronounced
delicious. The little tea cakes were served with it.
I was delighted to see The Golden Age in its old
form again. The Household was fine. I hope many
readers will respond to the cordial invitation of the
Household Mother, Busy “B.” and the call of Tessa

A MODERN AND SENSIBLE USE OF TIME.
Sarah Henton, you are eternally right in your
“One reason why country farmer’s wives are not
happy.” Work, and worry over the work; this it is
which produces ill health, and no woman can be
happy when her liver is out of order. The remedy
is, do no unnecessary work; piece no quilts; do no
fancy work or fine tucking, and no mending and darn
ing that is not absolutely required. Take the bits
of time thus gained for recreation—a little walk
twice a day, the reading of a pleasant story, a visit
to an agreeable friend. I am going to tell you how
I save the time and eyesight that I used to waste
over darning stockings. Unless the stockings are
very good quality, I simply cut off the feet when the
toes and heels are worn out and sew up the bottoms
of the legs, which are always as good as new. When
worn with high shoes, nobody can even guess the
short cut that has been taken to make this stocking
wearable. Os course, this can’t be done with socks.
These must be darned. My husband always buys the
best foot covering and they wear nicely. I stain and
varnish my floors and save scrubbing. The floors

thus treated need only to be wiped off. I get dlar
mond dyes to stain and apply hot, but if the floors
are old or have been painted, the dye will not do.
They will need have a coat of paint. Rugs are now
so cheap and pretty that I do not knit any more out
of rags as I used to do. I have a good neighbor,
whose daughters knit rugs and counterpanes, and
poor dears have no time to read papers and mag
azines that would keep them abreast with the age,

HIS SEAL.
Since the Savior has called me and made me hie
child,
And turned me from pathways forbidden and wild,
I long to have all earth’s humanity feel
The imprint divine of the Savior’s seal;
I would have them all know that the pleasures of
earth
Are brief as the bloom that scarce outlines its birth;
That gain means too often a loss of our peace,
And sin weaves a chain from which there’s no
release.
Sensual pleasures which charm us, at last will dis
gust;
Gay comrades that tempt us prove traitors to trust.
Fame and gold promise falsely contentment and
weal;
Peace is found but in bearing the Savior’s seal.
Then, comrades together, let’s press on and win
Other souls from the bondage of self and of sin.
The help that we give, future years shall reveal
In the brightness that glows from the Savior’s seal.
Pendergrass, Ga.
