follows: Melt three large table-
Espoonfuls butter and rub into it
three are teaspoonfuls flour, gra-

Spoons minced parsley. Butter
scallop shells, fill with farce and
sprinkle on top of each shell one
teaepoon buttered breadcrumbs.
Plase in warm oven to brown.
This amount makes eight shells.
Shrimps, erabmeat, and salmon
may be used in the same manner,
making a delicioee dainty for
Sunday night supper or a luncheon,
as it may be prepared hours before
needed and then warmed in oven
before serving.
FISH.
Salt Mackerel.—Salt mackerel is
less popular than it should be be-
cause most people ha,ve not cook-
ed it the way to bring out its best
points. Here is a way to make it
the best Sunday breakfast dish in
the worlel: Select a good, firth
mackerel. Soak it over night in
icy cold water, flesh side down. In
the morning melt in the frying pan
a heaping tablespoon of butter.
Put in the mackerel, fry one side,
turn carefully, keeping the fish
whole. Lift out onto a hot dish
and pour in the pan a pint of thick
sour cream. Let it boil up well,
stirring it thoroughly, and pour it
over fish. The salt of the fish takes
out all the sour of the cream and
makes a delicious gravy. Serve
with hot buttered toast.
Snlreon Patties.—One egg, one
cup sweet milk one can of salmon
(remove bones), one and one-half
cups cracker crumbs rolled fine.
Season with pepper and ealt, to
taste. Drop in tablespoons in hot
frying pan in butter or meat fry-
ings_
Beefstead with Oysters—Broil a
sirloin or tenderloie steak; season;
take a, quart of oysters and drain
off the liquor; put into stewpan
with half a cupful of butter—less
butter if you have a little cream
to add. Salt and pepper to sea-
son it. When this comes to a boil
pour over the steak on the platter.
Serve very hot.
Potato Pie.—Cut up left over
meats into about one-half inch
eclualies arid put into a balung dish
-with left over gravy; if one has IM
gravy use a little stock and season
to taste; boil and inash potat-oes or
use left over potatoes, and cever
as crust for the meat. It is not
necessary to Ilse milk or butter in
mashing potatoes. Run a fork
lengthwise to make grooved top and
take until browned in a moderate-'
hot oven.
Mock Cherry Pie.—One cup chop -
el cranberries, half cup chopped
aisins, half cup colic' water, one
up sugar, one teaspoon melted
Utter, one teaspoon vanilla one
tableepoon flour; bake between
ruste.

If a polished knitting needle is
dipped into a pail of milk and with-
drawn, to be held upright, some
of the milk will adhere to the needle

To touch up an old and faded
rug, get dyes of the various colors
in the rug and a number of camel's

ter the rug has been well cleaned,
paint the dyes on where they are
needed.
Often there is a little cliffigulty
in turning cakes, especially ginger-
bread, out of the tip. This difficul-
ty may be overcome by greasing
and dredging a little flour over the
tin before adding the mixture.
Then, after taking it from, the oe'en,
stand the tin on a damp cloth for
a minute or two before removing
the cake.

IX.—Elijah Meets Ahab in iNa-

Golden Text, Luke 12. 15.
Verse Jezreel—A eity in the
territory ef Issachar, It occupied
an attractive and strong position,
being shut in on the. south by Mount
Gilboa and buttressed on the north
by high cliffs. It is famous mostly
as the place where Ahab and Jeze-
bel hilt their -magnificent resi-
dence. This 'palace, as we learn
i
eel other parte of the Kings,
stood op, the eastern side Of the
eity. Te guard against sudden le-
sion there was a tower which leelel

The unique thing about the
palace was the house inlaid with
ivory. There were other inalie

etliing besides sentimental sta-
sons desiring to keep the in-
teritance of his fathers. The vine
yard (2) would no doubt prove a
ue addition to the gaedens of
Ahab, with which he wiehed to en
ich his possessions at Jezreel, But
tbee were sacred consideratIODS
why Naboth eoold not yield tt to
another, even bis king., for any
price. It was an unwritten custom
(Num. 36) that property should de-
scend in the same tribe and house.
This ancient law was a guarantee
of the liberties of the people, At
some time, possibly before this, but
MOTO ile1y alter, this custom eame
to be written into the statutes of
the nation. .

some fond desire. Little won-
der that jezebel eaxoe upon him
and rebuked his peevishness with
tiso words, Dost tuou now govern
. Israel? Ci). words which the
Septuagint has fittingly rendered,
"Do you play at being king in this
way'?" Jenebel had qualities mine
masculine, as well as more -malic-
ious, than her husband. Besides,
she was a Phoenician, with pro-
nounced foreign views as to the per-
gatives of kings, and she did not
'mile, therefore, to form a plot
• the possession of the vineyard
of Naboth the jezreelite,
8-10. Notice the insolence of her
writing letters in the king's name,
and putting his seal upon them,
and of proclairaine a fast so as to
deceive the people hate believing
soine public calamity had befallen,
besides the added touch of venom in
her setting the innocent victim OD
high, in a. conspicuous place. Surely
Ahab had weakly abdicated his pow-
er in Terael, when such corruption
.e practiced by an idolatrous
. The climax was reached
when the base fellows, in response
to the orders of a fawning local tri-
bunal of elders, were hired to per-
jure themselves by accusing the
guileless Naboth of blasphemy.
13. Stoned him to death -- This
was, of course, in keeping with the
law,- that blasphemy should perish
by stoning outside the city.
15. Arise, take possession — Ac-
cording to the custom, the sons of
Naboth would perish with bion,
leaving no heir to his possessions,
whereupon the property would re-
vert to the king (compare 2 Kings
9 26, and 2 Sam. 16. 3, 4).
16. Ahab rose up to go down—It
seems likely he was in his capital at
Samaria, twenty miles from jez-
reel. He made the journey in his
chariot, accompanied by two war-
rior -youth, Jehu and Bidkar, to
whese later testimony we are -in-
debted for some of the details (2
Kings 9. 25,, 36). The Septuagint
says that Ahab greeted the news of
N,aboth's death with violent mani-
Testa,tions of grief. But he, no
doubt, went to claim his new pos-
sessions with ardor.
17. Elijah the Tishbite—The last
glimpse we had of him was as he
strode off from the fields followed.
by Elish.a, son of Shaphat. Six
years had passed. Was Elijah all
this time in retirement some -where

20. Hasthou found me .. . ?—
How much this whole situation' re
minds us et the fate of gnarly a
worldling. Ahab as just about
to glut himself with the ill-gottee
fruits of his sin. And now, as if the
shadow of ,sorne lurking fear had
been trasformed into life, there
stands before him the dreaded- ser-

had basely thrust away for the sake
of a degrading alliance. The man

What the Reeetit Nee Year Honors
Cost the Reeiehnitet
Should the exigericies, of the po-
litical situation erieg about the
creation of five hundred aew Peers
a nice little sum would be added
to Britaires revenue in the way of
fees. Indeed, it has been suggest-
ed at times that the Chancellor of
he Exchequer, wneo endeavoring
to make up a defieit ss the budget,
might do worse than folloy the ex-
ample of James I., who, when des-
peratelY liaed up, created, on ,the
soggestion of the Earl ef Salisbury,

baronet eosta only *500, payable to
the Board a Inland Revenue, There
were nine baronets in the list of
New Year's honors and six Privy
Councillors, twenty -Ave knights,
nineteen recipients of eolooial

A.frican honors, and fifteen reeipi-
euts o1 Indian honors, each of \Omit
will have to pay $150, The Inlaud
Revenue authorities will thil3 r
ceive $10,950 alt her.
These amounts do not includeth
stamp duty incurred in taking on
a coat of arnis, nor the charges co
the Herald's College for the using
of letters patent For designing z
coat of arms and granting letters
patent for its use the Heralds' C'el-
lege eharge $338. Assuming that
the eighty-eight recipients of hon-
ors all decide to taxe out letters pat-
ent to the right of arrooria.1 bear-
ings, the whole cost of the NeNV
Year's honors will be over $50,000.
The absetwe of any peerages in
the new honors list makes a. don-
eiderable difference to this form of
revenue, for a duke hes to pay $1,-
750, a marquess $1,500, an earl $1,-
250, a. viscount $1,000, and a baron
$750. Then, again, the Knighthood
of the Garter entails $1,000 in fees.
It natty be remembered that Lord
Roberts objected to paying a bill
Lor $3,750, which was presented to
him after accepting an earldom in
1901, and eornplained still more
when he found that his acceptance
of the Garter entailed a Vital ex-
penditure of close upon $5,000.
Even this, however, was not quite
melt a coetly distinction as being
made a Scottish baronet in the time
of Charles I., who compelled every
man so honored te pay $15,000. As
a set-off to this heavy fee the pat-
ents 'down to 1639 included' a grant
of specified land in Nova Scotia. Un-
fortunately this grant did not prove
of much advantage, for long before
1638 the colony had passed into the
hands of the French.
PAGEANT AT CORONATION.
Precedent of 1902 Will be Followed
as Closely as Possible.
The arrangements for the Royal
pageant associated with the corona-
tion of King George V. are so far
complete .that one can- now form
some- idea of the comprehensive-
ness of the scheme. The precedent
of 1902 is to be followed as far as
possible. The line of procession
will be the same, so that the pro-
gress of Royalties will be witness-
ed by the millions of East and South
London, as well as by the more se-
lect inhabitants and visitors to the
West End. There will be a grand
naval review at Spithead, and pro-
bably a militarY review. As the
over -seas dominions of the Empire
will be vell represented, and the
great and small powers of the
world, the people will once more
have a unique and powerful illus-
tration of what the British Empire
signifies. When it is ,considered -
that the varied units that make up
the British Empire have been wel-
ded together by a generous applica-
tion of the prinexples of justice,
self-government and religious and
politicalliberty, citizens of the Brit-
ish Empire may well indulge in the
festivity of prospect of this great
fact being represented once more
in the metropolis of the world in a
way that will strengthen the strong
bonds that alreadi hold thein.

Over $000,000 was rapidly collect-
ed and dispatched to Italy, Ger-
many tanning next, with 8400,000,
and France with $300,000. News-
papers all over the country opened
their columns for the receipt of
money from their readers, and tho
appeal thus made was not in vain.
FAMOUS FAMINE RECORDS.
In 1878 the Mansion House open-
ed a fund for the great Lunen. fam-
ine. In response to the appeal of
the Lord Mayor, the huge stun ,of
$3,450,000 was extracted from the
pockets of the nation. In 1897 an-
other fund was organized to aid the
Hindus over two and a half mil-
lion being sent to India. Alto-
gether England has sent $10,000,-
000 in one way and another to re-
lieve our fellow -subjects in India.
Such figures are a splendid tribute
to the generosity of the British
public.
During the Boer war, however,
Britain really rose to the occasion,
and showed what she was capable
of ein emergencies. The Mansion
House left all its glorious records
far behind when it raised $5,659,-
200 for the Transvaal war fund. In
mOditied to this $8.50,000 was given
to the for the Transvaal refu-
gees and $58e,000 for the C.•L V.'s.
That was the Mansion House alone
and when it is recalled that there
were three other funds of a simi-
lar kind in existence at that time
one is astonished at the capacity of
John Bull's pockets. Altogether
nearly, $20,000,000 was subscribed
during the days of the war. Bri-
tain paid generonsly for the mag-
nificent help that her soldiers and
sailors gave her.
AN UNPOPULAR APPEAL.
The greatest individual sum ever
given to a fund, apart from the
permanent charitable organize,
tions, was the 8125,000 given by Sir
Thomas Lipton to the poorest of the
poor London jubilee dinner fund in
1897.
Practically only once has the
British public refused to give, and
give handsomely. On April 13th,
1882, the Lord Mayor of London
announced that he wished to re-
ceive funds to help the unemployed
to emigrate. In twelve days enly
a few paltry pounds were collected'
and, as a result, the Lord Mayor
was compelled to close the fund
and to return the few amounts that
had been sent. '
The British public are, as a rule,
however, only too willing ebo sub-
scribe and the names cif a few
funds will show how wide are their
sympathies: Princess Alice disas-
ter, Hungarian floods of 1879, relief
of persecuted Russian Jews, Ice-
land famine, Egypt cholera, Gore
don memorial, Ottawa fire of 1901
and the St. Vincent volcanic cau-
tion of 1902.

PROVIDE AGAINST STORK.
Not all Englishmen approve of
large families. Those who do not
sometimes get insured against such
a calamity. Some get insured that
they will not have a child. Some
get insurance that they will net
have twies. Some men, naturally.
pessimistic, want insurance against,
triplets. The two latter kinds of,
insurance are often taken out after
the stork has announced that he is,
about to make. a visit.
Before such poligies 'are- issued
Lloyds gets reliable data 'on the
number of double or treble, births
on each side of the house. And the
premium is large or sniall accord-
ingly. In one year four wise Eng-
lish families who had reason to
think the stork might deal bounte-
ously with them took .policies
against triplets. In, each case there
was a history of triplets on one side
or the other -of the house., Only One
family had th,ens. And the' insur-
ance was considerable eneugh to

fine boys.
