Cock until thorough- ly done, reducing the heat of the oven after the first 15 minutes and basting ie time to time with salt- ed wat Breaded Veal Chops.--The | best way to cook breaded veal chops is to put them in the oven in a covered pan for 15 minutes, Then remove them and dip them in beaten egg and very fine bread crumbs. -Have ready a skillet in which there is hot bacon fat and cook the chops in this until they are brown and tender, turn? i several times. Remove from the skillet to a rack in the oven for a few moments. Into the 'skillet pour a cupful of strained tomato' juice, stir rapidly over the fire, sea- son with salt, pepper and paprika, and strain over the chops. Veal Cutlet with Brown Gravy.-- Melt about a tablespoonful of lard or drippings in a skillet, and when it is cde hot, put in a veal cut- let which has been wiped ry Turn two or three times until it is seared on both sides. Then add a eupful of hot water to the pan, cover and simmer gently for half an hour. At the end of this time the cutlet should be very tender. Re- move it toa hot platter and thicken the liquid in the pan. If it has di- minished, add more hot water. Sea- son with salt and peper and pour it ever the meat. Sprinkle a little very finely minced parsley over it. Veal Sweetbreads.-- Mix two well- beaten eggs with half a cupful of bread crumbs and then add half a some onf 2AT. eupful, scant, of milk and a third of a cupful of flour. Chop two ounces of salt pork, very fat, with a pound of veal, and season it with salt and pepper. Mix the meat with the bread mixture, and: when the whole is well mingled, form it into seven or eight little balls. Put them into a baking pan and over them pour two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and half a cupful of chicken stock. Cover and bake for about an hour.

The gravy of this dish is delicious and the flavor of the meat combina- tion is sure to appeal. ' When Eggs Are Searee. With eggs soaring, there seems little redress for the housewife but to economize in their use. She must use some. It would not be wise to take them from the diet en- tirely, even to cut down expenses.

It takes a little fore- thought and p! anning to give gocd, nourishing meals with few eggs, | bu t it can be cone. After a little 'egg fasting" the family will ap- preciate them all t'.s more and eat them with a little keener relish. When eggs are omitted to a large extent frem the det, more meat must be supplied; but the cheaper cuts will answer as well as the more expensive ones. When eggs are high, although yeur recipe may call for two eggs, just use one. For instance, in ma king waffles use only one. It will be eaough, al- though you may be accustemed to using two. The focd value will not e so high, but the result wil! be mulatable. Probably the never notice the differ- ence. Whenever making croquettes, dil- ute the eggs with water, and it will go much further. Use only one egg in making hermits. Suet puddings, which require no eggs, are, nevertheless, rich and colder months. They are heavy y desserts, but we are able to digest them. Never serve them with pork ; otherwise, they can be used to great advantage in the diet, both from an economical and dietetic standpoint. Useful Hints. The best results on the loaf as a whole, in ia both flavor and texture, are secured by the use of two teaspoonfuls of sugar'per loaf. Fresh fish properly cooked never creates illness, and is one of the most valuable and economical food preducts brought to our markets. Some. small cranberries have a much better flavor than the large ones, and on some varieties the skins are so thin they almost mash through the wire strainer.

But the eleven--The statement of the number. shows that all of the remaining disciples wete true and full of faith. Unto the mountain-where Jesus ain is not known. Probably the. one in which Jesus had declared himself to his disciples before he went to Jerusalem.. Doubtless it was a known rendezvous, and for the disciples needed no closer desig- nation, 17. And when they saw him--He was still some distance away; as the next verse says, He ican to em So. ed him at ps were not so sure doubted. But when Jesus had come among them no further expressions of doubt were made. Nearness to Jesus dispels doubt. 18. Saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth--As some of the disciples appeared doubtful at first, Jesus. gave them a sign of recognition. by repeating to them what they had heard him say before. He was not boastful of this pewer. It was statement for the assurance of the e It was doubly assuring to them now as he came from the dead, and was in the nature of a password which would nutiontents his identity. 19. Go ye therefore--As Jesus had communicate this to his Fora. hing there was only one thing to do-- spread this power over the whole world. Baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit--All the peculiar and special Jewish rites by which with the church was to xe secured are tacitly negatived by Jesus when he emphasizes baptism 20. Teaching them--Not orthodox opinion, but right living. No opin-| ¢ lon or ereed- can be orthodox if it constrain men to observe all things whatsceterewhich Jesus commanded lo, IT am with vou always, even unto the end of the world-- The "'teaching" was to be eontinu- ous (present participle) and Jesus was to be with his disciples forever. Hence an ever-renewed power to teach right ving (and to practice it) was to come from the continual presence of the Master. Hence also the power of the gospel and its wer ie wide _burpose. These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you--Much of Jesus's teaching while he was yet with them was in- comptehensible to them. Now he calls their attention to what he said to show them how it conformed to all that the law, the prophets, and the Pea'ms said of him. 45. Then opened he their mind; that 'they might understand the seriptures--With the concrete back- ground cf his death and resurree- tion Jesus could talk with a great deal more particularity and clear- ness than he was able to do before. Now the disciples could understand him from an entirely different point of view, 47. Unto all the nations, .begin- ning from Jerusalem--The purport of the Scriptures from the begin- ning was that the Christ message was to be without reference to race and world-wide. Repentance and remission of strs were to be* the cardinal points of h's teaching.

The highest spot of dhe city is not more than fifteen feet above the sea. The weather is severe--bitter frosts in winter and scourging heat in sum- mer. For six montis each year the Neva is frozen solidly. An old icanadl has it that after Peter the Great chose the site of Petrograd, he noticed a heavy ring abeve the trunk of tree. He turned to one of the Finnish fisher- men who stocd nen r, and ". him to explain the meaning of i hat," replied the ficherman, is the spot to which the floods of the Neva reached last spring.'

In 1712, the fleeds were so severe that Peter the Great nearly Jost his life. Thousands of people died, and the city was nearly destroyed. Peter, however, was undismayed by the misfortune, and urged on the work more eagerly than ever. Every building had to be construct- ed in a manner suited to the dig- nity, or a national pcr and St. Petersburg 'was proclaimed the capital of Russia. Notwithstanding the beauty of the city, the people for many years could not aéecustom themselves to regard it as the capital. By cen- turies of. tradition they had come to look on Mescow as the only capital Russia ever could possess t is an int eresting fact that none of Russia's poets have ever epoken of the city as anything but Petro- grad.
