From Day to Day. 
GIVE THANKS. 
For wider sway aud vaster power, 
For courage high when dark clouds lower. 
For heroes great, who proudly died, 
And thus the old flag glorified, 
For faith <o follow duty’s star. 
For all we have and all we are, 
We lift our hearts, O God, to Thee, 
Author and end of liberty ! 
For obstacles placed in pur path. 
For flashes of Thy righteous wrath. 
For chastisement because of sin. 
For foes without and fears within, 
We humbly praise Thy mighty name, 
Who canst alone foul passions tame ! 
Free, equal loving all mankind. 
Submissive to Thy kingly mind. 
Touched, by the wail of misery. 
Proud for Thy suffering sons to die, 
We ask that we may ever be 
Clothed with a true humility ! 
Ah, what are wealth and pomp and pride— 
Thou Father of the Crucified— 
But snares to self-sufficient, souls. 
Whose only aims are earthly goals! 
Our boundless acres, wealth untold. 
Our smiling prairies, hills of gold. 
Our commerce whitening cv'ry sea- 
All these, O God, are gifts from Thee! 
For them we praise Thee—and we pray, 
On this our land’s Thanksgiving day. 
That wo may use them for the good 
of all who claim Thy Fatherhood! 
O keep us humble, true to Truth, 
Filled with the innocence of youth! 
May we ne’er trust in fleshly arm 
To save this land of Thine from harm ! 
'Tis righteousness alone is great— 
Make this the glory of our State! 
To do Thy will—be this our aim, 
O Thou who in the bush aflame 
Revealed Thyself to Moses’ sight 
On mighty Horeb’s God-crowned height! 
To-day we bow l>efore Thy throne, 
In fear of Thee—and Thee alone!

cold climates it can be drawn in at the 
knees to form knickerbockers, and 
made of flannelette or thin woolen it 
would give extra warmth with very lit¬ 
tle bulk. Years ago the early advocates 
of dress reform urged the use of these 
combination garments, long before knit¬

attention was paid to them until “gath¬ 
ers” were eliminated from fashionable 
skirts.

High boned stocks of silk, lace or net 
are as popular as ever this season, but 
they are not boned to stand up in a point 
behind the ears, as they were last year, 
being merely a moderate even height, 
finished at the top with a small net 
ruche, instead of the big frill of last 
season. As a rule there is a little pleat¬ 
ed jabot in front. Some of the smartest 
are black and white combinations; for 
example, the jabot of white net edged 
with a black net hem. Among tailored 
styles are stocks of tucked white Brus¬ 
sels net finished at the bottom with a 
narrow black satin band tied in a four- 
in-hand in front. Tucked white Brussels 
net really makes the most becoming 
stock one can wear, much more so as a 
rule than the fashionable Irish crochet 
either real or imitation, but this lace can 
be softened by a net ruche at the too. 
and is very popular. There is really no 
halfway fashion in neckwear; either a 
flat turn-down collar or a high stock is 
demanded.

In reckoning up our Thanksgiving 
blessings it is well to remember how 
many of our greatest trials never hap- *

Keeping Cider or Grape Juice Sweet. 
In answering F. H., page 933, you give 
a long laborious process of sterilizing 
cider or grape juice to keep sweet. There 
is no doubt but the process described 
will accomplish the end, but either can 
be so treated as to keep sweet indefinite¬ 
ly with a modicum of the labor or 
fuss. We have just put up 50 gallons of 
Niagara grape juice thc lame way we 
have followed for years, and have only 
one trouble in keeping it. It is too good 
to keep. Our process is to sort the 
grapes, taking out all imperfect and un¬ 
ripened ones, also the stems. We then 
break the grapes and press out the juice, 
which we strain through a couple of 
thicknesses of flannel. We then heat up 
to 160 degrees, stirring thoroughly, and 
keep at this temperature 15 minutes. We 
then put it into clean jugs or bottles, 
using corks that are new or have been 
thoroughly boiled, pressing them well 
home and tying in and immediately dip 
the top into melted paraffin. When cold 
we again dip cork into paraffin, and put 
away in a dark place where they will not 
fieeze. The main thing is to be sure 
bottles, jugs and corks are clean and the 
tops immediately dipped in the paraffin. 
To facilitate tying in the corks, I take 
No. 20 galvanized wire, turn two loops 
on same in such places as to bring one 
on each side of neck when thc* wire is 
put about the same and twisted tight. 
When ready to tie the cork in, all that 
is needed is to put each end of the cord 
through a loop and bring the cord over 
cork and tie the ends together. We have 1 
tried many kinds of grapes, for this pur¬ 
pose, but have found none equal to the 
Niagara, and any one used should be 
fully ripe. I don’t drink thc juice, but 
cat a large tumblerful at each meal 
with a teaspoon. It is simply good to 
take, and no danger need be apprehended 
from an overdose; try it.

Shaking Cream in Jar for Butter.— 
I saw a request for making butter from 
one cow, and the answers. If one has 
not an ice cream freezer just stir cream 
in a bowl with a wooden paddle. I have 
made five pounds of butter at a time 
without any trouble by stirring the cream! 
every time new was added. In Summer 
it was almost butter; have it warm in 
Winter; wash in water same tempera¬ 
ture as cream in Winter. We churn 
every two days in Summer. We have

pounds in a year, besides what cream 
and milk we used, yellow as gold. a. b.

Where do your rubbers wear out? Nine times out of ten it’s the heels that go first. 
That’s the reason we equip Gold Cross Brand Rubbers with “Samson” Heels. They 
are not an experiment. We have sold hundreds of thousands of pairs. Actual experience 
has shown us that our extra heavy, double thick Beacon Falls Samson Heel will prolong 
the life of a rubber shoe. When you buy a rubber shoe ask for the Gold Cross Brand 
with the “Samson” Heel. Take no other. 
Our success has brought many imitations, 
but they are only imitations and lack the k Th® “Lansing” 
features which have made the Samson 1 S tho Rubber
