Thicken the gravy with a little flotir, cooked in butter, if. neces sary, and serve. Tomato Sauce.--Cook one and one-half cups of tomato with a slice of onion and eight whole cloves ten minutes and strain. Soften two tablespoons of butter ' and "blend with it one tablespoon of flour, one- half teaspoon of salt and one-eighth. teaspoon of pepper. Add the strain- ed tomato and cook five minutes. If there is not enough strained toma- to, add enough water to make 'a cupfal; Shirred Eggs With Tomato.-- Put, onehalf teaspoon of. butter in each ramekin or shirring dish; when melted add four tablespoons x of strained tomato and a few drops _ of onion juice and salt and pepper. " Drop into each dish a fresh egg and sprinkle over it a spoonful of grat- ed cheese. Bake until the white egg is set and the cheese is melted. Nut and Checse Roast.--One cup of cheese broken in small bits, one cup of English walnut meats, one cup. of soft breadcrumbs, two ta- blespoons of chopped onion, one ta- blespoon of butter, juice of one-half lemon, one egg and salt and pep- per. Cook the onion until tender in the butter and a little water. Mix the cheese, mits, and bread- crumbs, all the seasonings and the beaten egg. Add the onion. Pour into a battered shallow baking tin and bake twenty minutes in an oven hot enough to brown it. "Blue Ribbon" Doughnuts.--In- to one coffee cup of sugar beat two eggs and a dessertspoon of melted butter. Bift two heaping teaspoons of baking powder, one-fifth tea- spoon of soda and a half teaspoon of salt into a quart of flour and stir this with a coffee cup of sweet milk into the creamed sugar and eggs. Add a grating of nutmeg and a lit- tle more flour to roll easily. Cut and fry in balls. Cutter should be about size of ordinary napkin ring and the dough about one and one- half inches thick. A small hole ehould be made in the dough with thumb and finger. This closes when fried. The fat should be so hot that a match will light when drawn across it. Roll cakes in powdered sugar when cold. Make three and one-half dozen. Lemon Butter.--Wash, dry, then grate the yellow rind from one fine lemon into a small agate saucepan. To it add half a pint of fine granu- lated sugar, one fresh egg, a pinch of salt and a dessertspoonful of butter, five tablespoons of cold wa- ter and the strained juice of one lemon. Over a slow fire dissolve these ingredients, then simmer the mixture until as thick as molasses. Stir constantly. Remove the pan from the fire when the right consist- ency is attained. Pour into a glass dish or large tumbler. It is ready to serve soon as cold, with plain uniced cake, bread or crackers, Sour oranges may be used in exact- ly the same way with satisfactory results, but sweet ones will not an- swer at all. Onion Soup.--Cut six medium sized onions in slices and cook in one-third of a cup of butter or but- terine two minutes. Add two ta- blespoonfuls of flour, stir until well mixed. Add one and one-half cups of boiling water and cook until the onions are soft, about twenty min- utes. Rub through a strainer and add three cups of milk and one cup of cream, or one quart of milk and two tablespoons of butter; add salt and pepper to taste and two slices of gtale bread cut one-fourth inch thick. Serve with grated cheese sprinkled over the top. This is a good soup to serve with a light din- ner or for lunch, as it is almost a complete meal in itself." For din- aer for a family it may be served followed by a salad and dessert, and - frequently serve the salad with the Cookies.

Mice.--Apart from cats and traps, if oil of peppermint is squirted about and into their holes, the mice will depart elsewhere. Not .de- stroyed, you see, only banished. Slugs, the amateur gardener's pest, can be exterminated - by col- lection. Cut a turnip in slices, and place it about the flower- beds in the evening. Go out later, and col- lect for destruction the dozens - of slugs on the slices. A cabbage-leaf smeared with dripping--not salted --is even better. Repeat occasion- ally during the slug season. Fleas.--There are advertised pow- ders which are quite effective, but a certain method of banishing these little pests is to boil an ounce of quassia in' water, add that to a bucket of warm water, and then on '"'burning-out" day scrub all the woodwork in the 'bed-room with carbolic soap and the quassia wa- ter. There will be no more fleas. RC, 'Are You Donald?" Dr. Norman Macleod, before his visit to India, called on am old Highland woman in Glasgow. ¢ When you go to India,"' she said, "you'll be scein' my Donal' that went away to sail to India ten years ago, and never wrote the scrape of a pen to his mother since." "But, Katie,"' said tho doctor, "India is a very big place, and how can I expect to find him?' ~ 'Oh, but you'll just be askin' for Donal'. What: for no?" 8» to please the old lady the doctor prom- ised to ask for Donald, and eonsei- entiously he kept his word, At vari- ous ports he made inquiry among British ships, although it seemed to him very much like' looking for a needle in a bale of hay.' But it is the unexpected that happens. As Dr. Macleod's steamer went up the Hooghli, an outward-bound vessel passed close by. Over the bulwarks of this vessel was leaning a sailor, and to him the doctor, moved by some sudden impulse, shouted out-- "Are you Donald Mactavish 7' To his intense surprise, the man answered, "Yes."" Macleod had only time to shout--"You're to write to your mother!' as the ves- sels drew apart. amazing meeting was that the old woman received a penitent letter | from her long-neglectedful son.

The Prodigal Son (Tem- perance Lesson)--Luke 15. 11-32. Golden Text, Luke 15.18. Verse 11. And he said--This intro- duction separates the parable from the two preceding, and we cannot be sure it was Spoken on the same occasion. However that may be, the connection in thought must be recognized by all those 'who read these parables; and-it' could" not have a more fitting position than the one in which Luke has placed it. 12. The younger . . . said, Give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me--The portion of the younger would be half of what the elder received, that is, -one- third of the estate, if the father had but two sons (Deut. 21. 17). : The younger .son's demand for his por- tion during the lifetime of his fa- ther was unusual, were not! unheard of in the East. And he divided unto them his living--The father gives the elder son his portion also, but he remains at home. 3 13. Not many days after, the younger son gathered his posses- sions together. He' had already made his plans; now he carried them out. Selling the land and turning everything into money. 'he. takes his leave, apparently not to return. Wasted his- substance with riot- ous living--The youth knew nothing | of the labor and self-denial with which the property had been ac- quired, and being away from - the restraing of home and of those who'| knew him, he squandered the money | as thoughtlessly as he had acquired it. 14. Began to be i in want--His as- sociates in his 'riotous living) were not the kind of friends 'wh would stand by him when his money was gone and he needed-asistance: 15. 'Went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country --From the luxurious quarters in, which he had doubtless lived and entertained, he is thrust out ; earn his food as best. he may. Ha "ing no one to aid or recommend him, he must 'attach himself like bond servant to'a foreigner, ve 1 sent him to feed swine--to a. most odious task and an Jhio radia | peo but such cases were regarded much: as tramps are regarded in our country, their po- sition being inferior to that of : household slaves. 18. Against heaven--That is, against God. The prodigal knew that misconduct tow parents was a sin utterly displ aging to God. 19. Make me as one of thine hir- ed servants--His penitence is real. He asks this as a favor. It is so much better than hig present posi- tion. 20. He arose--He acts upon his resolution at once. He makes his sonfessiod and offers no excuse. ile he was yet afar off, his athe? saw him--Was able to * re- soguize his son 'even though cloth- in filthy rags. . wip moved with compassion and ran and fell on his neck, and Kkiss- ed him--The father's welcome is given before the 'son has spoken a word. The father,does not know in what spirit he has come; it is enough that he hag returned. 21, The son makes his confession as he had planned, but the father's forgiveness is so complete and his generosity so great that the son cannot meet it with a proposal to be made a hired servant.- ~29. The father said to his servants He speaks no word of reproof to the prodigal. Doubtless "he recog- nizes the fact that the son has seen his own folly and learned his lesson. Bring forth quickly the best robe --A long stately robe worn on cere- monial occasions. Put a ring on his hand--Perhaps a signet rin »which gave the wear: er some authority in- the house. Shoes on his feet--Sandals, as were worn by free' 'men. ~ Blaves | went barefoot. 23, Bring the fatted calf. Doubts less one being reserved for an ap- proaching feast. But to the father this occasion is of far greater im- portance than the feast. The remainder of the parable should 'not be overlooked either in private study or in class discussion, The attitude of the elder son to- ward the returning prodigal i is in sharp contrast with the ' generous forgiveness of the father. : "Glass Cooking Utensils.

Trial Reveals Pitiful Condition of | Russian Who Won Henors, a pitiful story of a country's in- was told "in the District | ki Court at St. Petersburg last week: when a volunteer soldier Pimenoff, who received the highest | ! order of Bt.

His only som | was killed in battle, and when Pi- menoff returned from the front he found himself without means of subsistence. 'Many other maimed 'knights of St. George were im the same plight, and in order to draw atten- tion to their destitute state, Pime- noff wrote a pamphlet called "From the Diary of an Arthurian," in which he described how they were to beg for food, which he said, was a disgrace to the Russian uniform. Considering the pity and indig-| nation excited in St. Petersburg and other cities by the appearance of theee starving cripples, it is hardly surprising that Pimenoff has been acq Neanly "all the witnesses for the tinction "for valor."
