A Thanksgiving Poem 
The sun hath shed its kindly light.. 
Our harvesting is gladly o'er. 
Our fields have felt no killing blight. 
Our bins are filled with goodly store. 
From pestilence, fire, flood and sword 
We have been spared by Thy decree, 
And now with humble hearts, O Lord, 
We come to pay our thanks to Thee. 
We feel that had our merits been 
The measure of Thy gifts to us, 
We erring children, born of sin. 
Might not now be rejoicing thus. 
No deed of ours hath brought us grace; 
When Thou wert nigh our sight was 
dull. 
We hid in trembling from Thy face, 
But thou, O God, wert merciful. 
Thy mighty hand o’er all the land 
Hath still been open to bestow 
Those blessings which our wants demand 
From heaven, whence all blessings flow. 
Thou hast, with ever watchful eye, 
Looked down on us with holy care, 
And from Thy storehouse in the sky 
Hast scattered plenty everywhere. 
Then lift we up our songs of praise 
To Thee, O Father, good and kind; 
To Thee we consecrate our days; 
Be Thine the temple of each mind. 
With incense sweet our thanks ascend; 
Before Thy works our powers pall; 
Though we should strive years without 
end, 
We could not. thank Thee for them all. 
—PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR.

The following recipe for fudge is given 
by a friend who says it is exceptionally 
good: One cup evaporated milk (not 
condensed) ; two squares chocolate, 1 lb. 
confectioners’ sugar, two tablespoons 
marshmallow whip, one teaspoon vanilla, 
butter the size of a large walnut. Scrape 
or break up the chocolate; put milk, 
chocolate, sugar and marshmallow on to 
cook. Stir and cook till it reaches the 
ball stage, then stir in the butter and 
vanilla, remove from fire, and stir as it 
cools until the right texture to turn into 
buttered pan. It does not become very 
hard, but makes a rich, mellow fudge.

Numerous letters from those who cro¬ 
chet and knit for city firms show that 
there is plenty of such work now and 
that though prices paid are small they 
are sufficient to make the work worth 
while. It is necessary, of course, to 
follow the pattern accurately, and to 
keep the work clean. Correspondents 
tell us that they are paid $1 to $1.10 
per dozen pairs for babies’ bootees, and 
$3 a dozen for one style in babies’ capes. 
The firms giving out work inquire as to 
the worker’s reliability, and usually send 
material without, a deposit, and pay 
postage both ways. There is so much 
work for women in the cities now that 
dealers in these goods must go farther 
afield, and country women have a better 
chance at the work. Many women take 
pleasure in doing it, and the little extra 
money is always welcome.

The following method for taking heat 
stains from polished wood is given in the 
Scientific American Cyclopedia of For¬ 
mulas : Fold a- sheet of blotting paper to 
four thicknesses, cover the place with it. 
and put a hot smoothing iron thereon. 
Have at hand some folded bits of flannel, 
also heated. As soon as the iron has 
made the surface of the wood quite warm 
remove the iron and paper and go over 
the spot with a, piece of paraffin, rubbing 
it hard enough to leave a coating of the 
substance. Then rub ■with one of the 
hot pieces of flannel, and continue the 
rubbing, using freshly warmed flannel 
until the spot is removed. It may be 
necessary to repeat the operation. If 
not deeply marked, a good rubbing with 
furniture polish will often remove the 
stain, and this should be sufficient for the 
lighter marks. Rubbing with sweet oil, 
followed by a polish, is also advised, or 
holding a hot iron a few inches above the 
Wood, and then polishing.

Apple Week is Nov. 1-6, and every¬ 
one is asked to eat apples everywhere. 
As an extra inducement, try Canadian 
apple pudding, made as follows: One 
quart sour apples, one-half cup of sugar, 
one-fourth cup of water, a pinch of 
grated nutmeg. Bake these ingredients 
together twenty minutes in a deep pud¬ 
ding dish; then pour over the apples the 
following batter: One cup of flour, one 
tablespoon sugar, one-fourth teaspoon 
salt, one beaten egg, two tablespoons 
of soft butter. Return to the oven, in¬ 
crease the heat and bake for twenty min¬ 
utes more.. Serve with maple sauce 
made as follows: Add to one thoroughly 
beaten egg one cup of grated maple sugar, 
one cup of whipped cream, one-half tea¬ 
spoon of vanilla. In Vermont, where 
this recipe was obtained, a bowl of

Will 
citron? 
Preserved Citron 
you give recipes for 
preserving 
E. R. 
Peel the citron, remove the seeds, cut 
in strips, and weigh. Add 1 ib. of sugar 
to each pound of citron, and let it stand 
over night in a large bowl, as it makes 
a good deal of syrup. Put on stove, and 
lot boil slowly, adding a little green gin¬ 
ger root, or preserved Canton ginger. 
When nearly cooked add one thinly sliced 
lemon for each 3 lbs. of citron. Cook 
until the fruit is transparent and syrup 
thick, then seal. This is much richer 
than where the syrup is made with water. 
If desired, however, a syrup may be 
made, 1 lb. of sugar to each pound of 
fruit, and one cup of water to the pound 
of sugar. Bring syrup to the boil, then 
add the pared and cored fruit, and cook 
as above. 
Green Tomatoes Pickled 
Half bushel of green tomatoes; slice, 
sprinkle with salt in layers over night 
In the morning drain, put three cups of 
vinegar, three cups brown sugar, one oz. 
stick cinnamon and one oz cloves in a 
preserving kettle, boil five minutes, pour 
over tomatoes, cook slowly, put in jars 
when tender. mbs. m. e. p.
