Charity Sweetheart’s Letter. 
When the Summer season is at its 
height, and the display of fashion and 
idleness fills the hotel verandas, I some¬ 
times wonder why things are so un¬ 
evenly divided in this world. It looks as 
if wealth and culture had everything 
their own way, while such as me and 
mine are condemned to grub along with¬ 
out any of the helps to a higher life. 
And yet those who have advantages of¬ 
ten fail to realize how much is in their 
power, and for how much they arc re¬ 
sponsible. In fact, 1 have come to the 
conclusion that it is not worth while 
grasping after money at every turn and 
feel a little ashamed that I have done 
so, to the exclusion sometimes of better 
things. For the world is full of the 
makers and the spenders as we all know 
and the trouble is that so many of the 
spenders take it for granted and rather 
look down on the makers and the mak¬ 
ing. I haven’t tried to do anything in 
the way of pocket money so far this 
Summer, except to use up the milk in 
making “junket” for the hotels, as some 
of their boarders asked for it, and one 
of the proprietors came to me to sec if 
I could help him out. They take it over 
in milk cans, and keep it in the refrigera¬ 
tor, and it seems to supply a need. It 
is so simply made, so healthful, that it 
has been used here as a dessert, for 
the invalids and children, and requires 
good rich milk to give it the desired 
flavor. Scotch people looked at it with 
surprise and approval. One Summer 
visitor wondered to find it in use in 
America and said with a nod of a wise 
head that it was “guid for the bairns.” 
Prepared rennet can be bought at the 
drug store with directions on the bottle, 
but brother went to the butcher for 
some, as we required so much. 
We have had some trouble with Theo, 
caused by acidity of the stomach, that 
upset digestion, and think we have cured 
it with lime water, ft was prepared by 
putting a piece of unslakcd lime into a 
jar, and pouring over it slowly two gal¬ 
lons of hot water, stirring thoroughly 
several times a day. The next morning 
bottle carefully all that can be poured off 
in a clear limpid condition, and give a 
teaspoonful in a cup of milk. For cleans¬ 
ing small milk vessels or a baby’s nurs¬ 
ing bottle it is unequalled, sweetening 
and purifying without leaving any un¬ 
pleasant taste. 
1 wanted to cook some rice the other 
day so that the kernels would remain 
whole and made a very economical dis¬ 
covery that amused me. It was boiled 
for 20 minutes, using a small teacupful 
to a quart of water, then it was steamed 
for awhile after the water was poured 
off—staying without the lid on the back 
of the’ stove. It was washing day and 
1 found out just then that there was not 
any starch in the house for the colored 
clothes, so I put the water the rice had 
been boiled in into a tin dish, and set it 
on the stove for a few minutes, then used 
it, and found it made quite a good starch, 
clear and not lumpy. It would be better 
if we used more rice in Summer, espe¬ 
cially children, or anyone with a weak 
stomach. 
The boys are fired with enthusiasm 
for the great flying machines, and Grant 
asked me the other night if I didn’t 
think Orville and Wilbur Wright were 
as famous men as Watt and Stephenson, 
of whom they have read so much. 
"Just think,” said Cleveland, “they 
were only bicycle dealers in a town in 
Ohio, and now they are known all over 
the world.” 
I am not surprised at the boys, nor at 
their efforts to learn how an aeroplane 
is made, but when 1 heard two of them 
discussing the subject seriously as to 
whether there would be a chance to study 
airships if they went to college it set 
me thinking as to the influence of this 
new power upon the next generation. It 
is very wonderful indeed, and no one 
can be surprised that the subject takes 
bold of the boys’ imagination. They 
have been reading Kipling’s “With the 
Night Mail” lately, and Grant insisted 
that Kipling was a prophet for writing 
it. llien, the other Sunday night, Sher¬ 
man asked me if it was wicked to try 
to fly, and when 1 asked the reason for 
such a question he said that “if it was 
wrong to build the tower of Babel to 
reach up into the sky, maybe it wasn’t 
right to get up that way.”
