Some people use a warm bowl to mix their sauce in. A better thing is an enameled plato of the shape of a «oup plate or use a warmed soup plate. Unless the butter is hard the plate will be warm enough if hot water ia run on it for a minute or two, and it is then wiped dry before putting the butter into it. Chop the butter first and then knead and \M>rk to a cream with a knife or a flat egg whii-k. Vanilla flavoring, a tea- spoonful for this amount, is always popular, but sometimes one-third lemon or orange to the vanilla is added. Mold into a mound or any ^llape you clioose. You may then sprinkle some nutmeg over it if you <h<)ose, as many like this flavoring in a j)uildiiig sauce. Set on ice to harden.

"Ho'W do the other members of the Cabinet feel I" "They agree with you, too," said the Cabinet member. "All except Lord Kitchener." "Then," said the other fellow, "why don't you do it?" The Cabinet man heaved a sigh. "1 assure you," said he, "that we have very little influence with Kitchener." That may seem to be an exag- gerated statement of conditions in tiie British Cabinet. But it is an absolutely tr\ithful one. Kitchener is the Cabinet. With certain limit ations, he is the House of Lords and the House oif Commons, and the Royal family. He is easily the most powerful man in England to- day â€" no exception whatever being noted to that statement. This is the explanation, writes Herbert Corey, an .\merican correspondent. The leaders of every party in England recognized that this war threatened the very life of the Em- pire. Britannia is fighting with her back against the wall. They did the very sensible and very extraor- dinary thing of selecting the biggest man they had in «tock to handle the war for England. Then they did the equally sensible and positively revolutionary thing of letting him handle it. Down to Brass TackH. Kitchener lias a distressing way of getting down to brass tacks in doing business. There was a Par- liamentary inquiry into certain failures to feed and clothe the new recruitsâ€" for while Parliament is obedient it is not muzzled. The fact was shown that rctpiisitions for necessary supplies were sliiifFled through half a <lozen hands before tliev were filled. It is not likely tiial Kitchener iiad known of the delay or the cause. He is not omnis- cient. He got reports by telephone of the revelations. Before the clam- oring on the floor had ended Kiti-h- ener had sent a telegram to every officer in cymimand at a recruiting station. "Buy what HU|)plies you need aiul send me the bill," was tiie purptirt of this telegram. "NeNer mind pre- vious rules. Get the stuff. I'll get you if you don't." There was one promising littl" scandal that went by-by right away. Kitchener isn't extravagant in liis use of Government moneyâ€" in one of his Soudan campaigns he offered to do fcr'I'.')00,(XX) what another sol- <iier had estimated would cost £',\.- f)0(i,(K)0, and then he turned back a good deal of the money -but just now he is not counting the cost. He is too bu.sy to fly-sjieck cost-sheets with audit marks. His suilx)rdin- ates are told to buy cheap when they can spare time- but that hours are worth any premium. Sent Illni Back <o Work. abroad are known. That his | achievement in raising a new army at home and "n feeding the old army in the field is of the highest order is admitted. Where Kitch- ener has incurred the most bitter criticism is in his management of the press. He is an absolute auto- crat. He has made a joke out of tliut freedom of the press of whish Anglo-Saxons have boasted â€" with this exception. Kitchener hasn't cared what edi- tors have said about him. But tlhey must not print tabooed news. The English papers â€" especially tbe Harmaworth group in London â€" have attacked the military censor- ship witli great bitterness. Nothing has been ."yaid on the American side of half the edge and weight of ven- om that is being said almost daily in England. Kitchener doesn't care. He is oblivious to public opinion. So Kitchener has muzzled the press in Uhis war. He has ruthless- ly suppressecf information which might be a weapon in the hands of the enemy or make trouble at home. He would noit let the story oif the sinking of the Audacious be told. He has not let the English publi<. know that Japan intervened at Great Britain's request, or that 'China has protested against the vio- lation of her neutrality by both English and Japanese troops. A long list of like actions by the cen- sor might be cited. It is important to get at Kitchener's viewpoint. He will not permit the publica- tion of anything which he, as a sol- dier thinks may add to tlie difficulty of his task. He is the sole judge. Where a doubt arises, he rules against the newspapersâ€" and lets 'em rave. But they can say anytJiing they choose about him.

Very (little bounty was earned by li.'C lead producers last year. A manufacturer of khaki called at the W'ar Office to ask for a commis- sion. In time he was ushered into Kit<ihener'8 office.

Kitchener's estimate when the war began was that it would last three years. A recent incident seems to show that he has not changed Ibis mind. A manufactur- er of certain gixnls was asked il he could not largely increase his out- put. "Not without doubling the capa- city of my plant," said he.

"Being a boy" meant very little to Louis Napoleon, for lie had it in his mind almost from the day he was born to be emperor of the French. In a UKiment of confidence, he said to his bosom friend. Baron d'Ani- bcs, who ill turn confided it to his diary, now published as "Intimate Memoirs of Nap<.)leon III" : "l have retained a very lively im- pression t)f an hour, about my se- venth year, when the idea occurred to mc f<ir the first time, and very clearly, that my destiny was not tlio same as that of other children; that it held something greater ami more serious. But 1 cannot tell whether it gave me a feeling of pride or tear- perhaps Ixith to.gether. "In any case, 1 had already illiis^ trious names and important events to look back upon in my past.

But liis belief in his destiny served Prince Lrouis one excellent turn : it made him a hard worker, deeply imbued with a sense of duty that in- creased with his years. The commandant of the fortre^ss where Louis Napoleon was kept a prisoner on account of bis preten- sions to the throne of France, was deeply impres.sed with his responsi- bilities, and thought it his duty to keep a careful watch on his prison- er. Fearing that the boy, in des- pair, miglit take it into his head tt> kill himself, he deprived him of every weapon that might serve his purposeâ€" knives, razors, and so on. One day the prince said to him with a smile : "Have no fear. I belong too much to tiie future to try to shirk the present." P»IN( ESS MARY'S OWN BOX. Was Handed to Prlvnte of Royal Munster FusilienH. When the Princess Mary's Christ- mas gifts for the British soldiers at the front were being packed, her Royal Highness went down to tlio warehouse at Deptford to watch the work, and placed a slip of paper in one of the brass boxes. On the slip were these wor<ls : "This box was packed by her Royal Highness the Princess Mary. The recipient should acknowledge its receipt to her Royal Highness ihe Princess Marv, Buckingham I'alnce." There was naturally great inter- est in seeing who the happy recipi- ent of the Royal message would bo. The <ither day the slip was return- ed to Buckingham Palace.

This is no ^mall accomplishment, as can be un- derstood if one remembers that the aeroplane is approximately a mile â- migh, and travelling at a speed sometimes e.xceeding a hundred miles an hour over an ever varying scene in which each small road and cart track resembles another. Tlie I'ses of the .\eroplune may be divided roughly under four 'iieads: The strategical ret\iunais- sance, the tactical reconnaissance, ihe directing of artillery and the dropping of bombs on the army. Tlie strategical reconnaissance has f<ir its object a complete survey over and beyond the enemy's Hues to remark any movement of troops or guns that is taking place and to note railway trains and supply col- umns and many other details of in- estimable value to the general staff. The tactical reconnaissance cov ers a smaller area, and in greater detail. The exact p^»sition of enemy trenches and guns is noted and marked on the map for the in- Toriimtion of btfth infantry and ar- tillery. I The direction of artillery fire is, perhaps, the most interesting of any task allotted to tlie airmen. The iuiators. having made arrange nients with the commander uf a bat- tery, rise to a consitlerable height, from which they can observe the burst i.if the shells on the enemy's j stances positions. They then signal. CH,)r- rectiug the range ami direction of the British guns by means of firing colored lights. Extremely success- ful results ha' e been obtained by this co-operation of gun and aero- plane. Bomb dropping is a duty that sometimes falls to the members of the flying corps, but obviously it, ia only now and .igain that they can obtain a suitable target. The ac- curate dropniug of bombs into a trench or on other small objects is (|uite impossible. When the machine has "got its height" it crosses the enemy's lines aii<l at once becomes the target for furious gun and rifle fire. The Ger- mans _possess a great number of anti-aircraft guns firing shrapnel shell. rhc "Archibald" (iuii. It is these guns that have been named "•â- Vrchilbald"' by the Royal Flying Corps. "Archibald" is very energeitic and often fires as many as fiitty or sixty shells at an aero- plane on one reconnaissance. Ow- ing to the noise of the engine, the airmen, perhaps luckily for them, cannot hear the whistle of the shell as it comes toward them. They are, however, fully aware of "Archi- bald," for again and again above the roar of the motor comes the wicked Ihiss of the shrapnel bullete after the shell has 'burst as tlhey shoot ipast the machine, missing it b>' a few feet or even by inches Frequently a bullet or a piece of shell will tear a hole in one of the planes. Tttie airmen, however, pay but lititle attention. The observer goes on taking notes, and now and again the pilot looks around to see exactly where "Archibald" -s bursting. Should the shell come unpleas- antly close for five or six times in succeission tihe pilot may perhaps dive two or three hundred feet to put the German gunners' range out. Ludkily it is only when flying against wind that '.â- Vrchibald" be- comes really dangerous. When fly- ing with the wind he merely ^'e- comes a .waster of ammunition and & source ivf amusement to his tar- get. Artillery fire at an object moving at ninety miles an hour 's bound to be eratic.

The name "water-gate," given to one of the gates of Jerusa- lem, is supposed to have been named froim this custom. In 2 Sam. 23. 16 we find David pouring out water to the Lord ; although he was famishing he would, not drink the water. Fasting was enjoined on the day of atonement, according to the la-w- of Moses. The day of atone- ment was on the tenth of the month of Tisri. That Samuel should have observed these two feasts as pre- paratory to his intercession with Jehovah is indicative of his deep concern over the seriousness of the situation. 7. The lords of the Philistines went up against Israel.â€" This means that the whole strength of the Phil- istines was called upon. Just as kings and emperors to-day will go to the front in order to encourage their soldiers, so the lords of the Philistines thought it necessary to be in the midst of the battle in order that the full fighting strength and determination of the soldiers could be secured. 8. The children of Israel said to Samuel. Cease not to cry unto Je- hovah our God for us. that he will save us out of the hand of the Phil- istines.- -The Israelites' fear of the Philistines was increased when they saw that the lords of the Philis- tines were taking part in the battle.

The cities which the Philis- tines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel. - Samuel con- quered the Philistines not only in driving them from the borders ol Israel, but by carrying the war into their own country and taking from the Philistines the cities which hau been taken by them fi\>ni Israel. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.- The Israelites and the .-trnorites made common cause against the Philistines-. 15.
