THERE LS NO DEATH. 
There is no death ! The stars go down 
To rise upon some fairer shore; 
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown 
They shine forevermore. 
There is no death ! The dust we tread 
Shall change beneath the Summer showers 
To golden grain or mellowed fruit. 
Or rainbow-tinted flowers. 
The granite rocks disorganize. 
And feed the hungry moss they hear; 
The forest leaves drink daily life. 
From out the viewless air. 
There is no death ! The leaves may fall. 
And flowers may fade and pass away; 
They only wait through wintry hours 
The coming of the May. 
There is no death! An angel form 
Walks o'er the earth in silent tread; 
Tie bears our best loved things away; 
And then we call them “dead." 
He leaves our hearts all desolate. 
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers: 
Transplanted into bliss, they now 
Adorn immortal bowers. 
The bird-like voice whose joyous tones 
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife 
Sings now an everlasting song, 
Around the tree of life. 
Where'er he sees a smile too bright 
Or heart too pure for taint or vice, 
He bears it to that world of light. 
To dwell in Paradise. 
Pom unto that undying life. 
They leave ns but to come again: 
With joy we welcome them the same— 
Except their sin and pain. 
And ever near us, though unseen, 
The near immortal spirits tread; 
For all the boundless universe 
Is life—there are no dead. 
—Edward Pulwer-Lytton (1803-1878).

Among new Fall waists, cheviot, heavy 
linen, poplinette. albatross, wash flannel 
and nun’s veiling are the prevailing ma¬ 
terials. The heavy vestings popular two 
or three years ago seem to have disap¬ 
peared. They were handsome, but heavy, 
and burdensome in the washtub, though 
most of them washed well. Readymade, 
cheviot or linen waists cost $2 to $3.50; 
wash flannel $3.50 to $5; veiling and 
albatross, embroidered or otherwise hand¬ 
somely trimmed, $0 to $8. A plain waist 
of white albatross, in simple tailor style 
with gilt or silver buttons, is inexpensive 
if made at home, and quite dressy; the 
same material, made after a girlish model 
buttoned down the back, is very desirable 
for a young girl, and will be very conven¬ 
ient when remodeling an outgrown frock. 
* 
During September there are usually 
many opportunities to buy Winter bed¬ 
ding cheaper than at other seasons, as 
most large city stores are holding sales. 
Old-fashioned patchwork quilts are now 
often used as bedspreads, to harmonize 
with Colonial furniture, but woolen 
blankets and light comfortables are cer¬ 
tainly more desirable to sleep under, be¬ 
cause they give warmth without weight. 
Cotton-filled comfortables of silkaline cost 
from 90 cents up; sateen-covered from 
$1.25 up. Next come those of sateen 
filled with down, costing from $4.50 to $7; 
silk with down filling cost $8 to $25, size 
0 x 6 feet. Wool-filled quilts, which are 
very warm and light, cost from $7.50 to 
$18.75; they are 72 x 7S inches; the 
covers being satin or brocade. 
* 
Farmhouse apples form a dessert that 
is respectfully offered to the members of 
the Apple Consumers’ League. Peel and 
core tart apples, fill the space from which 
the cores were taken with seeded raisins, 
bits of shredded citron, sugar and a little 
lemon peel; stand them in a baking pan, 
pour over them half a cup of water and 
dust with about two tablespoonfuls of 
granulated sugar. Bake in a slow oven 
until perfectly tender, then sprinkle bread 
crumbs over the top; dust again with 
sugar, and leave them in the oven for 10 
minutes. While they are baking mix a 
tablespoonful of flour with a half cup 
sugar; pour over half a pint of boiling 
water, and boil a moment; take from the 
fire, and pour slowly over one well-beaten 
egg; add the juice of half a lemon. Pour 
over the apples and serve warm. 
* 
A dainty little fancy apron is of fine 
white dotted swiss having ah embroidered 
border to edge the ruffle, and an em¬ 
broidered band at its head. Sometimes 
this embroidery consists of daisies made 
by working the rays around a series of 
the dots in the fabric; sometimes the dots 
are connected by fancy stitches, the dots 
themselves being decorated with French 
knots. For an inexpensive fine apron, 
nothing is prettier than fine lawn, edged 
with a ruffle trimmed with lace. A 
ruffle always adds daintiness to a fine 
apron, whether lace-edged or not. We 
have seen lately a number of fine aprons 
made with the old-fashioned Vandyke 
tucks, which have been revived among 
new fancy work. Six half-inch tucks arc 
made, close together, but not overlapping, 
and then marked off in large Vandykes, 
from top to bottom. The tucks are care¬ 
fully cut through along these lines, and 
then on the lower section the tucks are 
cut through at one-inch intervals. Then 
each little section has the rough edges 
folded under and carefully stitched into 
place, thus forming even little Vandykes, 
while the alternating section is of plain 
tucks. We have seen flounces for white 
skirts trimmed in this way, but the work 
seems too much for a busy person. 
* 
For quince sweet pickles, Modern 
Housekeeping advises ripe, yellow quinces 
of fine flavor. Scrub with a small vege¬ 
table brush to remove the down, wipe dry 
and cut out any spots or decayed portions. 
Slice, without paring, into rounds a fourth 
of an inch thick, leaving in both core and 
seeds, unless- imperfect, then weigh. Put 
the fruit, a thin layer at a time, in a 
steamer or colander over boiling water, 
cover closely and steam until it is per¬ 
fectly tender, then place in a stone jar. 
Make the syrup of four pounds of sugar, 
a pint of vinegar of medium strength, a 
pint of the water over which the fruit was 
steamed, an ounce of stick cinnamon, a 
heaping tablespoonful of allspice berries 
and a level tablespoonful of whole cloves 
to seven pounds of the fruit. Pour over 
the fruit, cover securely and stand in a 
cool place over night. The next morning 
drain off the syrup, boil for 10 minutes 
with the spice bag, skim and pour again 
boiling hot over the fruit. Continue this 
process for three successive mornings. 
The last morning add the fruit to the 
syrup and spices and boil gently until 
heated through, then skim out and put 
into the crock. Continue to boil the 
syrup until it is as thick as molasses. If, 
after the second boiling, it does not seem 
spiced sufficiently, add more spices tied 
in a fresh bag. When the syrup is done, 
reheat the quinces in it, then fill into self- 
ealing glass jars as in canning.

There is nothing like a gentle re- 
ninder to call a man’s attention to dere- 
ictions of duty, like the case thus de¬ 
scribed in the Youth’s Companion: 
“I tell you,” said Captain Waters, “a 
man needs a kind of a reminder, now and 
then, to keep him from getting careless, 
and 1 notice the ways of Providence are 
such that he most always gets it." 
“Who’ve you got in mind now ?" asked 
Captain Saunders, who, having no partic¬ 
ular or pressing business on hand, was 
helping his old friend watch the craft in 
the bay. 
“I was thinking of Isaac, my cousin, 
over to Har’ich,” said Captain Waters. 
“His wife has been telling him from 
morning till night for the last month that 
he’d ought to fix a loose board on the 
shed floor, and lie's kep a putting oil and 
a-putting off, and now, yesterday, he got 
bis reminder.” 
"Fall over the board?’ inquired Captain 
Saunders. 
“No, not exactly that,” said Captain 
W-aters, "but what happened was that 
Isaac was coming down from the shed 
chamber with an old cane-seat chair, and 
he tripped on it someway, fell down the 
last three steps, broke his wrist and 
sprained his ankle, and smashed the chair 
to pieces. Then, when he ’lighted, he 
fetched up on that loose board, and it 
sprung up and took him. kerwallop, right 
in the face, good and plenty.” 
“This morning 1 was over there, and he 
was in bed, all bandaged up and pretty 
low in his mind; but he told me lie saw 
the justice o’ the whole thing—while Jane 
was out o’ the room.” 
Ceiling Registers. 
We had one put in last Fall, and it is a 
help toward keeping the upper room more 
comfortable. We bought a second-hand 
register, one of the kind used with a hot¬ 
air furnace. One can sometimes get 
these for half price at a plumber’s, when 
people have changed from hot air to hot 
water or steam heaters. We had a tin 
box made, without bottom or cover, of 
course, the top being of the right size for 
the register to set in. The lower edge 
of the box has an inch flange, to be fitted 
up to the ceiling. The depth of the box 
was the same as the distance between the 
ceiling and the floor above. The box was 
fastened to the edges of the boards, where 
the hole had been cut in the floor, with 
small nails, and then the register set in 
the top. In our case the upper room was 
large and unfinished, so it could not be 
really heated by this register, but it could 
be tempered. Care must be taken not to 
have things steaming on the stove below, 
for the warm, steamy air coming up into 
the cold air above make's the upper room 
very damp and chilly. I find the register 
an excellent ventilator. There is a con¬ 
stant current of air rising through the 
opening, and if the windows are open the 
lower room can be quite thoroughly aired.
