THE RIVER TIME. 
Oh! a wonderful stream is the River 
Time, 
As it runs through the realm of tears. 
With a faultless rhythm, a musical rhyme. 
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime. 
As It blends with the ocean of years. 
How the Winters are drifting, like flashes 
of snow, 
And the Summers, like birds between, 
And the years in the sheaf—so they come 
and they go. 
On the river’s breast, with its ebb and its 
flow, 
As it glides in the shadow and sheen. 
There's a magical isle up the River Time, 
Where the softest of airs are playing; 
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical 
clime, 
And a song as sweet as a vesper chime, 
And the Junes with the roses are straying. 
And the name of this isle is the Long 
Ago, 
And we bury our treasures there; 
There are brows of bea'uty, and bosoms of 
snow; 
There are heaps of dust—oh, we love 
them so ! 
Chore arc trinkets and tresses of hair. 
There are fragments of song, that nobody 
sings, 
There are parts of an infant's prayer; 
There’s a lute unswept, and a harp without 
strings ; 
There are broken vows and pieces of rings, 
And the garments our loved used to wear. 
There are hands that are waved, when 
the fairy shore 
By the mirage is lifted in air; 
And we sometimes hear, through the 
turbulent roar. 
Sweet voices we hoard in the days gone 
before, 
When the wind down the river was fair. 
Oh, remembered for age be that blessed 
isle, 
All the day of our life till night: 
And when evening glows with its beautiful 
smile, 
And our eyes are closing in slumbers 
awhile. 
May that Greenwood of souls be in sight! 
—Benjamin Franklin Taylor (1819-1887).

A tear in an umbrella is best mended 
with a piece of adhesive plaster, mois¬ 
tened and pressed firmly under the hole, 
bringing the edges together so that the 
fabric is held in place. Such a mended 
place shows very little. A raincoat can 
be mended in the same way. We have 
heard of an ingenious woman mending 
a leaky water pipe with adhesive plaster, 
and thus controlling the leak until a 
plumber came. We have never had this 
experience, but we have successfully used 
silk courtplaster to mend the fount of an 
oil lamp, where a tiny but exasperating 
leak seemed beyond the power of solder.

The following recipe for peanut 
wafers is given by Fannie Merritt Far¬ 
mer in the WOman’s Home Companion: 
Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter and 
add gradually, while beating constantly, 
one-fourth of a cupful of sugar; then I 
add one egg well beaten. Mix and sift 
one-half cupful of flour, one teaspoonful 
of baking powder and one-fourth of a 
teaspoonful of salt. Add to first mixture, 
then add two tablespoonfuls of milk and 
one-half cupful of finely chopped pea¬ 
nuts. Drop from a teaspoon on an un¬ 
buttered sheet one inch apart and place 
one-half peanut on top of each. Bake in 
a moderate oven from twelve to fifteen j 
minutes. This recipe will make twenty- 
four cookies. One pint of peanuts when 
shelled should yield about one-half cup¬ 
ful.

As a result of the agitation against 
impure milk in this city, it has been 
found that some of the tenement-hoiVse 
mothers are disposed to eliminate milk 
from the family diet, giving the children 
tea and coffee instead. As a result of, 
this widespread feeling the Consumers’ 
Committee of the New York Milk 
Committee has issued a pamphlet in de¬ 
fense of milk. This leaflet is intended 
for distribution among tenement houses, 
and warns the mothers against giving tea 
and coffee in place of milk. “One quart 
of milk,” says- the pamphlet, “is about

We recently gave a tested recipe for 
apple snow, in which the raw apple was 
grated and beaten with white of egg. 
Another recipe, which avoids the trouble 
of grating the apple, calls for the use of 
apple sauce. The sauce is beaten well 
while warm and then passed through a 
sieve. When cold the stiffly beaten white 
of egg is added, one egg white to three- 
fourths cup of sweetened apple sauce, 
the whole well beaten till stiff and fla¬ 
vored with lemon or vanilla. As further 
encouragement to the Apple Consumers’ 
League, here is an excellent apple pud¬ 
ding: Pare and slice two quarts of tart 
apples. Stew with a cup of boiling water 
until they can be beaten smooth with a 
spoon. Add the yolks of four eggs, well 
beaten, one tablespoonful of lemon juice 
and sugar to taste. A tablespoonful of 
butter may be added. Mix thoroughly 
and bake half an hour in a hot oven. 
Whip the whites of eggs stiff with a 
tablespoonful of powdered sugar and one 
teaspoon ful of lemon juice. Spread this 
over the pudding and return to the oven 
to brown. 
Citron ; Dried Pears. 
Will you give* directions how to dry 
pears for Winter use, also how to sugar 
citron for cakes? Mas. j. h. a. 
Directions for preparing candied cit¬ 
ron melon are given on page 715, issue 
of July 9 last. This citron melon must 
not be confounded with the real citron 
peel of the grocers, which is fts superior 
in flavor. 
Pears may be peeled, cored, quartered, 
and then, like apples, spread upon trays 
and dried in the oven or upon wire 
trays above the range. A superior 
product is secured, however, by 
submerging the peeled and quartered 
fruit for five minutes in boiling 
water, then skimming out, and with¬ 
out allowing it to cool, spreading out 
and nutting at once in a moderately hot 
oven. The fruit is not cooked, nor gra¬ 
dually heated, but merely submerged in 
the boiling water for five minutes. It is 
then put in the oven for 12 hours, or as 
much longer as may be required. A 
French method, which results in dried 
pears of high quality, is as follows: 
Fine table pears are peeled, cored and 
quartered, then put in boiling sugar 
syrup for five minutes. They are then 
placed in a moderately warm oven for 
12 hours; they are then taken out, al¬ 
lowed to cool off, and replaced in the 
oven, which should be hotter than at 
first, until sufficiently dried.
