stgales will blow through anything. In large houses, with the stoverooms on the southside, keeping warm isless difficult. Prob-ably much of thetime a country sit-ting-room is toowarm, rather thantoo cold. The inhab-itants feel obliged tohave a contrast withthe frost outside, andin many farmhousesthe air in the littlesitting-room is keptfairly baked. Theinmates would thinkthemselves seriouslychilly in a coal-firetemperature of sev-enty degrees. A wood fire in a sheet-iron stove sends out a trulyblistering heat if it is attended to ; but if continuous attentionis not given, it fluctuates. It may amount to about the sameas being cooked in an oven one half-hour ; and inside of thenext half-hour the fire goes down till the cold creeps in at thecracks, and you begin to shiver. That reminds you to putsome wood in the stove, and set the cooking process in opera-tion again. The New England winter is felt most in those households wherethe stock of sawed wood is allowed to run low, and the women

I. WINTKR LIFE « -,-, IN NEW ENGLAND folks are obliged to resort to constant appeal to the men to getenough to keep the fires going, or are compelled to saw it them-selves. Take a real country town right through, and there are agood many farmers who do not keep up their wood supply as theyshould, and some of them are short of wood the year around.This state of affairs is called by the more forehanded neighbors shiftlessness. Sometimes there is not only a lack of sawedwood, but the whole woodpile is allowed to get depleted almost tothe last stick. The farmer is then obliged to resort to the woodsfor a new supply ; and the housewife has to burn green wood,which is her especial detestation. She can only make the bestof it ; and that best is to always keep a supply of green sticksunder the stove or in the o\en drying, while they await theirturn to become a part of the fire. The drying wood gives theroom a peculiar and not unpleasant odor. Winter woik is not so arduous or long continued a

he solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before shall chase His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments, and shall come And make their bed with thee. As the long train Of ages glides away, the sons of men— The youth in lifes green spring, and he who goes In the full strength of years, matron and maid, And the sweet babe, and the gray-headed man— Shall one by one be gathered to thy side, By those, who in their turn shall follow them. So live that when thy summons comes to joinThe innumerable caravan that movesTo that mysterious realm, where each shall takeHis chamber in the silent halls of death,Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothedBy an unfaltering trust, approach thy graveLike one who wraps the drapery of his couchAbout him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

The Childrens Hot Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Bom February 27, 1807; Died March1882) Between the dark and the daylight,When the light is beginning to lower. Comes a pause in the days occupationsThat is known as the Childrens Hour. I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feet,The sound of a door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight,Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice and laughing Allegra,And Edith with golden hair. A whisper, and then a silence; Yet I know by their merry eyes,They are plotting and planning together To take me by surprise. A sudden rush from the stairway,A sudden raid from the hall! By three doors left unguardedThey enter my castle wall! They climb up into my turret, Oer the arms and back of my chair: If I try to escape, they surround me;They seem to be everywhere. They almost devour me with kisses,Their arms about me entwine, Till I think of the Bishop of BingenIn his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine. Page Ninety-

More vintage cookin’: Huevos con Queso
Image by litlnemo
This is from a 1908 recipe in the book Mexican Cooking by Gebhardt Chili Powder Company, possibly the first Mexican-American cookbook.
It’s basically eggs, cheese, onions, and chili powder, cooked up and eaten on fried tortilla strips. (I used chips instead.) Pretty tasty, but not as spicy as it could have been, I think.
This is another recipe that will be in Resurrected Recipes once I get it written up.
