OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
theroadthroughthewood
The woods were dark and the night
was black
And only an owl could see the track:
et the cheery driver made his way
Through the great pine woods as if
’twere day.
I asked him. “How do you manage to
to see?
The road and the forest are one to me.”
“To me as well,” he replied, “and I
Can only drive by the path in the sky. ”
I looked above, where the tree-tops tall
Rose from the road like an ebon wall,
And lo! a beautiful starry lane
Wound as the road wound and made
it plain.
And since, when the path of my life
is drear
And all is blackness and doubt and fear
When the horrors of midnight are here
below,
And I see not a step of the way to go,
Then, ah! then T can look on high,
And walk on earth by the path in the
sky.

Watermelon Rind Preserves.
Selec £ a melon having the white
part thick and firm. Cut out all
red part, peel off green rind, leav
ing only the white meat. This
you will cut into small blocks and
soax in alum water for twelve
hours. Take out of alum water,
wash thoroughly in plain water
and boil in ginger tea until ten
der. Strain it out of tea and set
aside. Then take the ginger tea,
add one pound of sugar for every
pound of rind and cook to a syr
up, adding stick cinnamon to
taste. Drop the rind back into
syrup and cook from one hour to
one hour and a half. Put up in
jars, allowing cinnamon and gin
ger to go in jars with citron. The
ginger tea is made by taking
enough water to cover the rind
and adding ginger to taste.
If you have more rind than you
want to make up right away, put
it away in salt water until you
need it. When you want more
citron, drain salt water from rind,
wash thoroughly, soak in alum
water, and make according to
above directions.
This citron is deliciously good
and is always ready for use.
Nothing is better in black fruit
cake. It makes a filling for white
fruit cake that is a toothsome de
light and sandwiches of it melt
in your mouth.
When your citron is gone do
not throw away the left over
syrup. Add a small quantity of
vinegar to it, drop in white mus
tard seed, celery seed and onion
to taste. Buy some plain cucum
ber pickle, slice each cucumber
and put into syrup. Heat the
whole mixture and seal in jars.
For a very little time and money
you will have as delicious pickle
as you have ever eaten.
