CHAMPION COOKS liSE ONLY
FINE INGREDIENTS ' .
Flavor/and Texture Most Important
/ . ’ yin Prize Winning
Just now when fresh," ri^pe fruit is
" dn the market; . ambitious
cook&Tare making, up their jars of
” . fruit; for winter use and for; exhibi
tions and contests? About half the
battle in really good cooking;, is in
knowing what the finished ‘product
‘ • should be like — to recognize per
fection. —
Champion cooks have.-found that
flavox* and texture are most import
ant. In judging, jelly, for instance, 75
out of 100 is given for flavor and-
' texture. This flavor is, of course, the
zestful tang bf the fresh, fully-ripe
.....fruit and jelly of perfect texture
holds its shape when turned out of
" a glass, yet quivers When the plate
. ' on which it rests, is moved.
Many cooks will produce a jelly
that sets,,\but which .slumps "with a
weary lurt/n when it is turned out of
the jar. An even greater .number . of
Cooks never achieve a really flavor-
some, jelly.. Year after yeai’ they
boil under-ripe fruit arid'. sugar, for a
long time to concentrate,, enough
pectin to get a jelly, and while,
under-ripe ^Truit has ihore pectin
■“~T-”tha'n-t’he*'“betd^^

HOUSEHOLD USES FOR SALT
, At this "time of the year garden-
I Ing is the favourite outdoor sport of
I tnany /families. A. little, salt goes a
long way in the.successful cultivat-
. ion of a flower or vegetable garden,
It does afiy garden good to give it
_ very light applications of salt, about'
once ounce for every square yard.
Such vegetables as beets,’ asparagus
and -onions, and flowering plants
' Buch as sabbatia, grow better for a.
. pinch of .salt.
SUMMER HODGE PODGE___ _

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
TIME. — David, was born in 1092
B.C., and died at the, age of seventy,
* -in—1-022—BvC.-The-passage-in—I—Sa-m-u—
el falls probably about 1068 B.C.;
.B.C.,, when the .-.time of Saul’s death
was about 1063 B.C,. '
PLACE. "— 'The life of David'is"
identified at various periods with a,
great many , places'in Palestine. His
second sparing- of Saul 'took place at
Hachilah, abou,t 20 miles*, noi-th of!
Jerusalem, The "report .of Saul’s
death comes to him while he is at the
city of Zizlag, the exact identifica
tion of which i3 not known.. ”
“And David arose.” He was hiding
in- the wilderness of Zfph. “And' came
ed; and David beheld the place
,where Saul lay,jan„d.. Abnerdthe_jpn_pf.
Ner, the captain of his shots,:” See
I Sam. 14:50,. 51; 20:25;- 2& Sam.
-Qhapg-^^TSy-^A-nd-Sau-Way—Witkin-the-
place of the wagons, and the people
were encampeflzfbundi about him.”
“Then answered David- and said to
Ahimelech the Hittite.” Not mention
ed elsewhere. Uriah was. also, a Hit
tie. “And to Abishai the son of
Zeruiah, brother of Joab,, sayibg.”:
“The first mention of-D^avid’s-^va'liantr
ed as a sceptre, and Was the symbol
of royalty. The king held it in his.
hand when he sat in .council (22:6),
or in'his house (19',:9); it was kept
by his side when he , sat“ at table
(£0:33-)“;-- stuck in the ground by'his
pillow |s.he slept in camp (26:7).—

the people lay round about him. ■ 0
. “Then said Abishai to David, God
•hath delivered up thine' enemy .into
thine hand, this day: nqw therefore
“letrm'e' Smite'-hini, I pray , thee, with
"the spear to the earth, at one strtoke,
and" I will jnot smite .him the second
time.” A . natural -desire, on the part
of Abishai, in such a* time of pur
suit,. and with the odds s> greatly in
favor of Saul.
“And David .said to Abishai^.. De-'
stroy him. not; for who can put forth-
his- ha-nd .against. Jehovahls anointed,,
and be guiltless?”. The divine provi
dence thus' gives David ...opportunity
not fo slay his enemy, but rather- to
.conquer him. by. a . new kindness.
• “And David' said, ' As-' Jehovah
44vet-h7J,-Jehovah---wi-H—smite-hinr.'”-A"s*

tauch his life. “Or his day shall
come to die;” i.e., he may die a na-
~turat ~de*athl-“Or h:g"§Mll“T6 dowiHm"
to battle, and perish.”,
“Jehovah forbid that I should put
forth my hand against Jehovah’s an
ointed.” The- grace we specially 'com
mend is that of waiting for God’s
time.. Alas! into how many sins, and
.even crimes; have men been betrayed
“How are the mighty fallen in the
midst of. the .battle!” (Ps. 42:5, 11;
43:6; 107:8, 15, '21, 31). “Jonathan is
slain upon thy high places.” The Hebo*
of a hundred fights’, slain at last in
those mountain strongholds of his
country which he had once won and
defended so successfully .(1 Sain.

• “I am distressed for thee, my
brother Jonathan, very pleasant hast,
thou been unto me: thy love to me
was wonderful, passing the love of
women.” This ■ may ,be. supposed ’to
.include both the love of the bride
for her husband ..and the.„l’ove of the
mother for her son. They that love
- one an other p'e;rf e.cktl y are made one

■ “How .-.are. the mjgh-ty fallen, and
the weapons of war perished!”. The
-w-eap o ns—-of—-wa-r-r-ar-e—th e—her-oes-of-

The terrible capacity for destruct-/5
iveness which the white'ant possess-*,
es" was recently, again’illustrated aii
Darwin, Northern Australia, Short:
circuits had constantly severed the
.telephone s6rvice? and it was found'
that* white ants had eaten through1
cement., an inch thickness of earth
enware, a thick" -coating of yaselinf
and . arsenic, a -quarter-inch lead
cable,, and the insulation of the tele
phone wires! . “ 1
Yet. in. Burma this very destruct
iveness is turned to account. Sandal-; •
wood," is one of the country’s most -.-,
' precious assets, but the? hard and
fragrant; heart wood atone has value.l
As the tree grows, the valuable1
heart is overlaid by a soft-and worth
less layer, forming eventually two-1
thirds 6$ the trunk. ' ': i‘
It is here the . the white ant comes f
to man’s aid. When .the tree is fdlL|
ed ahd cut. into lengths' it is gllowedl
to lie, and at once the hnta get busy
on the soft wood, which is sappy, and
sweet enough to attract them first.
In a few weeks they deliver the
heart free of all ■ the worthless sap
wood.. .
