The bottom crusts ot fruit pies will not become sodden it, after having lin- ed your dish with paste, the latter is brushed over with a beaten egg and allowed to stand for a few minutes before putting In the fruit. Eggs for poaching should be put in boiling water for a few seconds be- for cracking the shells. This prevents the yolks from breaking. A piece of blotting paper cut to the shape ot the salt-cellar and placed in the bottom will prevent salt from be- coming damp and lumpy. When cleaning brasses, first mois- ten your cloth with paraffin. This will result in more brilliant and lasting polish. A little coarse sugar stirred into soup that has been made too salty will render it more palatable. If any odd pieces of material left over after making a frock are washed each time the frock is washed, they will not look so odd if used later on for repairing the garment. Potato water is excellent for remov- ing tea or coffee stains from linen. •> The worst ot nie is known, and I can say that I am better thau the fame I bear. â€" ScliiUcf.

Golden Text: And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be receiv- ed up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. â€" Luke 9: 51. A.NAI.YSIS t. The Deepening Shadow, Mark 10: 32-34. II. The Selfish Request, Marck 10: 35-40. III. The Road to Greatness, Mark 10: 41-45. Introduction â€" Mark 9. 30 records the real beginning of the last journey to Jerusalem, although definite men- tion of it is not made until Chapter 10: 32. It would appear that during his brief visit to Capernaum (vs. 9-33) the .Master made preparations for his great adventure. We shall find later that a large number of bis galilean friends were gathered in Jerusalem to support him during those last fateful days. He must have given some ink- ling ot his plan to those whom he could trust. He would go to the capi- tal ot his nation for the Passover feast. What he expected would hap- pen there his utterances and even hia demeanor made Increasingly clear. I. The Deepening Shadow, Mark 10: 32-34. Jesus and his little compary travel- ed slowly. For him the territory through which they were passing (Mark 10:1) was new ground, but here it was that John the Baptist had labored not long before. Many people were, therefore, ready for his message. He himself was possessed by the feel- ing that his time was short, and that whatever he would say must be said now. Mark gives a vivid glimps.. of our Lord as he makes his way toward Jerusalem. We see "the striking figure of the Master walking alone in front, the wonder-stricken disciples behind, and still farther in the rear, a group ot terrifled adherents." (See Revised Version.) Then taking his disciples apart from the crowd, he tried once more to pre- pare them for what lay before them. Not once, but again and again, he tried to warn them. All his own deep instincts had told him from the first that only by suffering could he fulfil his appointed task. He was going to Jerusalem with the clear presentiment that he was going to his death. The details of the predictions (vs. 33, 34) may have been filled in from later knowledge, but our Ix)rd was already suffering the agony of Jerusalem and Calvary. II. The Selfish Request. Mark 10: 35-40. While our Lord's mind was thus filled with the thought of what ho must soon endure, his disciples were still cherishing the old dream â€" a glo- rious earthly kingdom. James and John decided to "put in their names" early, vs. 35-37. Probably before that forward Peter would speak for himself! Perhaps they were jeal- ous of Peter after the incident of Matt. 16: 18. At any rate, he was not with them when they came to Jesus. Matthew, evidently wishing to save the reputation ot the two brothers, in- troduces the mother to make the re- quest. Matt. 20: 20. 21. How little they understood what an answer to their prayer involved! Pati- ently and pityingly the Master replied: "Ye know not what ye ask. Can you share my cup and my baptism?" v. 38. He meant, could th'y share his suf- ferings? See Mark 14: 36 and Luke 12: 50. The Greek word translated "bastim" was used in common talk to mean "flooded" in the sense of "overwhelmed with calamities." They, poor fellows, ambitious yet so loyal, thinking only ot the "chief places" ahead, replied, "We are able." "Yes," thought the Master, sensing their real loyalty, 'Y^e shall indeed share my cup and baptism." But the place nearest Christ is not given as an earthly monarch bestows favors. Our spiritual king knows only "spiritual" nearness. The place of pre-eminence is won only by likeness to him. It is "prepared" (v. 40) only for those who quality. III. The Road to Greatness. Mark 10: 41-46. The ten were displeased (y. 41) not because the brothers were so sordidly ambitious, but because they had tried to take an unfair advantage ot them- selves. They all had "great expecta- tions." Such was the mood ot the disciples on the very eve ot their Mas- ter's sacrifice. Once more he tried to teach them. They had a wrong view of "great- ness". Among the Gentile nations around them, the standing ot the kings and princess was determined by the size ot their establishments. Their â- greatness " was measured by Ihe num- ber ot people who served them. He who gave orders to the greatest num- ber and took orders from none was, to tho.se cpircssod anj subj ot Jews. lUi» Vfry pcrsoniflcation of greatness. lu the Christian community, how- ever, there must be no such standard of greatness. Uir! the Master, with prophetic Insight, envision the day when his church would be corrupted with that sumu notion of greatness? Said he, the great man among you la not ha who can afford to have many servants attending him, but he who himself delights to be uf service to other*. The quality that couuts in the Christian community is not position, but personality; not salary, but soul. The more a man is prepared to do for the sake of others, the greater he becomftsâ€" in soul. The highest tribute that one can pay to a friend is to say, "He is a great soul." "I myself," continued Jeaus, "have come among you, not to be served, but to serve, and give my lite a ransom for many." The primary Idea in ran- som seems to be that ot rescue from some danger or some enemy. The whole life of Jesus vlth its service, its suffering, and finally its humiliating ending, was the ransom he offered for the sins of many. By that offering he was destined to rescue mankind from the pojver of sin. "Ye shall tall his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins." Breathing Spring In Every Line By HELEN WILLI/- MS. Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished With Er-yj Pattern Alternating Diet Produces Pink Eggs If Elxperiments Prove Satisfac- fory Hens Will Lay Dif- ferent Hued Eggs Chicago. â€" Egg whites have gone pink â€" and so have chickens. The pink egg "white" and pink chick are scien tific facts and the results of contrfJ- led feeding experiments in the labor- atories of a chicken feed concern here. And, if further experioients being conducted by L. G. Neal, head of the feed house's educational department, Dan Schaaf, and their aseistants trim out as expt.'cte<i, the .ens wall be lay- ing eggs with blue "white" and hatch- ing blue chicks. The>' hi.ve proven, they said, that by controlled feeding it is possible to produce eggs uniform in size, tasl«», color of white and yolk, and vitnmi'.i content the year through. In addition, they have achieved eggs wth "white" a deep pink and yolks varying in color from lemon to deep yellow. .\ cross-section of Dne hard-ljoiled egg showed a pink "white" and a yellow yolk with rings of deep red. Neal said an egg is 12 days' work ivT a hen, for the yolk, wher. laid, has that many rings. It is possible, he said, by alternating the hen's diet, ;o color red as many of those rings as desired. Imagine the dilemma of a white hen laying eggs with pink "white." Her chicks will have pink fluff. The combinations of grai.r and mash feedings are laboratory secrets, Neal said. Fashion Tips Monkey fur and fox fur are used la- vishly on formal ensembles. Lynx Is used for trimming on tweeds.

Dark brown is alhed to ra.spberry- plnk, grey, beige and blue in many en- sembles. Belts are made from plaited string, metal, knitted silk and leather appU- qued with chromium. Ordinary house flannel is used for blouses and tor coats worn with beach suits and beach shorts. Heavy silk makes wide-skirted pet- ticoats beneath frocks ot organdie or tarlatan. Feather ruffles are still popular for evening wear, and are dyed the same color as the frocks they accompany. There is much variety in coat lengths. They may be just to the waist, to the hips, or three-quarter length. When two different colors are used for a coat and dress revers ot the same' color as the dress, put a smart finish to the coat. Scarves made ot several different colors put together like bunting are gay additions to summer sports clothes and cruising ensembles. Hen Knows Her Home WiUiamsport, Md.â€" Mrs. Ross Downs saw a hen in a poultry dealer's crate. She said it had been stolen from her. The dealer said he paid 35 cents for It and demanded proof. "Turu her loose. " Mrs. Downs sug- geste to a policeman. Ht did and with the Interested parties trailing, the hen went straight- away to the rear of the Downs home where she resumed her duties on a nest of setting eggs. Long velvet coats accompany dressy afternoon frocks. ^ "White" on Moths Ultraviolet Butterflies and moths, as seen by each other, are very different from the way they appear to human be- ings, because they see ultraviolet ra- diations and refiectlons beyond the range of the eye of man. Dr. Frank E. LutJi, ot the American Museum of Natural History, has demonstrated this by taking photographs of butter- flies, moths and flowers In which only the ultraviolet patterns were risible. It was found, for Instance, that all patches and spots on butterfles and moths which appear to be Chinese â- white to the human eye were in re- ality a deep ultraviolet in rue. Other white shades were also found to be ultraviolet when seen by the Insects. â€" Popular Mechanics. EAT OYSTERS "CLEAN." "What is the best way to eat ojsters?" asked the Prince of Wales recently wh.-n seven-year-old oysters fresh from thoir native beds were laid before him, at an oyster farm, "should >'ou take vinegar or red pepper, or both?" he asked. The manager re- plied: "Never, sir. The best -w-ay Is to 'eat them clean." Then you get the true soa-water flavor.'' Stammer Is Sign Child Is Spoiled Thumb Sucking and Stutter Are Marks of Pamper- ing, Speech Confer- ence Told New York. â€" A stammering child U a spoiled child and can be cured only through patental discipliue, in the op Inion of Dr. Frank Pearcy, New York psychologist, before the final assem- bly of the Eastern Public Speaking Conference, which closed its twenty- fourth annual conventiou. Dr. Poacy was one of three to lecture on speech disorders. "A child stutters and stammers for the same rea.son he cries for hours at a time, whimpers, is finicky about his food or sucks his thumb," said Dr Peacy. "He simply wants attention. He wants to be sympathized with, to be noticed. And when parents pamper him he stops thinking about his own misfortunes and is content until they leave him alone once more." Stuttering in childhood is tar eas ier to control than in adolescence 01 later lite, said Dr. D. Pearcy. Witb a baby, it is possible to correct anj such speech disorder by ignoring it; the«grown man or woman is confront ed with a basic defect in personality coupled with the tentacles of habit "Many people can talk perfectly at home, but And themselves utterly in capable ot e-xpression among coispara tive strangers," he sad. "Shock, 01 what we call stage-fright, should no! affect a normal person In such a waj as to render him utterly unaVUe t( speak. Yet, with many who have beet allowed to grow up in an atmospheru of pseudo-sympathy, the consciousnesi of habit gives them an inferiority out^ look which prevents articulation." The cure for stammering lies in control of behaviour, rather than in an attempt to change the mechanism or physical basis of speech through special exercises or medical attention he said. Dr. Leo K. Kallea led a discussion on occupational disorders of the voIc« which were caused, in the main, ha said, by overstraining, or Ignorance ol the principles ot declamation. "Teachers, preachers, lawyers and lecturers who do not pay particulai attention to their vocal apparatus soon And themselves the victims of chroni( phouesthesia, which renders then mute. The commanding voice is usu- ally one octave higher than the speak ing voice. This the actor or the tea cher too often forget. He hurts hii throat much as the boy who tries tt sing soprano long after his voice hai changed." Mrs. Lou Kennedy of Brooklyn Col lege, told of the dlflaculties encount ered by lexicographers in finding ths pure pronunciation of a word which lias become mutilated geographically "Our only hope for purer speech is through national radio hookupi which will distribute into every Am . erican dialect the element ot pure Eng lish," she said. 'This can best b« accomplished with children, for th« entire creation of a child's atyle la speech takes place before the age ol five. At this age its personality ii crystalized."
