Break each egg on the edge of the eup just enough to crack the middle of the shell, so the white will flow out, but not hard enough to break into the yolk. Let the white run into the cup and keep the yolk in the half shell until all the white is drained off. Be careful riot to break the yolkus the small- st portion of it in the whiteWill prevent them from frothing.

Bake from forty to fifty min- utes in a moderate oven. Add one cup of currants and you have a nice currant cake, or half a cup of dates 'cut fine rid flavored, and you have a date eake. Color one cupful of the dough with spices, cinnamon, all- spice, Old mace, or with grated -chocolate and you have a Leopard -cake, By using a cupful of butter it is the same as White Mountain Cake.

A cork soaked in. oil makes a good substitute for a glass stopper, Canned er fresh rhubarb is a fine substitute for fruit for the pudding, Try a little baking soda, and hot water when cleaning kitchen uten- sils. If your pancake batter is too thin try using stale bread crumbs as a thickener. Flowerpot stains reay be removed from window sills with fine wood ashes.

When leather armchairs look shabby they should be wiped with a soft cloth moistened with olive oil. Wooden breadboards.are-kept in better condition by rubbing them with sand than by simply using soap. Green blinds that have become, faded may be renewed by rubbing them with a, rag saturated with linseed oil.

Versa 8, A great woman --The prevailing idea of greatness was of a person who as independently' •rich (1 Sam. 25. 2), and 'who had the power that goes ao frequently with wealth. This same Shunem was made famous testthe abode of the beautiful maideet ,„who' is the heroine of Solomon's • Song, and • who may be identified with Abishag, the nurse of David'aeold age.

This was a holy man -fl. .seeens nnlikely that Elijah, would have availed himself ef such eomforts as were offered in this luxurious home, but the impression made' by 2lisha was not diminiehed because he had an eminently sociaVnature -and gave it free play. At any rate, the pro- posal made to her husband by the woman (10) was not umisval, even in a land overflowing with hospit- ality. The little chamber, limit with walls, abeVe the roof, so as to give easy and private access from the, outside (and furnished after the style of Oriental rooms), must have afforded the prophet many hours of refreshment, 12. Gebazi--Throughout his long pnblic eareer Elisha was attended by his servant, who oeupied much the same position as he himself held in relation to Elijah. he. $tood before him --It is 41if- ficult, for its to imagine the rever- ence with which she would come in- to the presence of one whom she considered a representative of God, or the reserve which Elisha, in the dignity of his position, would ex- ercise, so downtrodden was the con- dition of womankind in those days (compare Jesus and the Samaritan woman, John 4. 27). So Elislut speaks to her through his mouth- piece, Gehazi (13), and, careful not to offend his benefactor by any sug- gestion of money equivalent for her pains, he proposes that he might give expression to his grati- tude by speaking a word in her be- half to the king, or using his court influence with the captain of the hot, But, dwelling as she did, among her own friends, she felt no need of royal or military protec- tion. So she went away, only to be recalled on Gehaziis, suggestion that the great sorrow of her life was, that she had no child, and was growing old (14, 15). 16. Do not lie -The promise that in the spring of the year following she should have a child her very own was too good to be believed on light evidence. 19. My head -It is likely the child had suffered from sunstroke: 21. Laid him on the bed of the man of God -What Elisha had al- ready done for her was sufficient to make her 'believe in his power to do even greater things. 23. Wilt, thou go to-dayl-The husband is not thinking of the dead •child, but of some religious festival connected with the new moon or the sabbath, over which the prophet might be called upon to preside Nevertheless, upon her assuring him that all was well, he has the ass prepared (24)..- The servant • would attend her for 'protection, running by her side the entire six- teen miles to Carmen,. 25. The man of God saw her - From his retreat, in the hills he could look down the road and see her while she was yet afar off. Ile at once divined that sornething was amiss. , But the womaq net relin- quishing the hope which she cher- ished, out of an anxious heart ex- claimed, It is well (26), '27. Thrust her away-Gehazi con- sidered in a breacji of etiquette, but his master saw that she acted in great extremity, and put his ser- vant aside. , 29. He said to Gahazi-He did not need to hear the words which the, woman seemed reluctant to speak, that her son was dead. He bade his servant gather up the loose folds'of his garment,' and to pause for DO SailltatiOnS, lest, his progress should be impeded. But the moth- er is not satisfied to have the staff and its master s,epassated, for where he is there is power. So with the sternal', Elisha follows his servant, who meets 'them on the way with the news -that, the child has not re- -ived .. , . 32 The child was dead -There is • , Left n� such doubt in this story as mssome others in the Bible, as to e: the person was actually 3 -25. -Notice the earnest solic- itude displayed by Ensile.

PROVIDING FOR WORRPEOPLE Invalidity Insurance Will Not Con. Met With Old Age, Pensions. The English people-a:h,e beginning to realize the vast importance of the British Goveromentts scheme of invalidity insuranee, which is 11°W beiegt eagerly elscuased in. every factory and workshop, mine and quarry, in the servants hall of Lon- don mansions, and humble farm kit- chens„ The invalidity insurance, as proposed by tee Government, is quite a thing apart from oh). age Peneiona and unemployment insur- ance. There is no idea of ehanging the basis, of old age pensions as at present administered. invalidity inanranceeis an extension only. Old age pensions of $1,25 a week will still be granted on a non-contribu- tory basis to qualified persons over the age of seventy. For this reason the insurance scheme will come to an end at stifenty, and there will be no over -lapping. Contributions to invalidity insurance will begin at an age not lower than sixteen years and not higher than eighteen years, Again, invalidity Inenr*SoO is quite distinet from unemployment insur- ance as outlined by the Beard of Trade. Unemployment insurance is intended for men and women who are able and willing to work but cannot find a job. Invalidity in- surance is meant for men and wo- men who are debarred from work- ing through continued ill -health, Unemployment insurance mill be ornpulsory only for the building, ship -building and engineering trades -that is, for two and a half million workers. Invalidity insur- ance will be compulsory and 1.111iVeTr* sal for all persona between the ages at sixteen or eighteen and severity whose ineeine is loss than $800 Po year. Unemploynient insurance supplements the work of trade un- ions; invalidity insurance supple- ments the work' of friendly societ- ies. The details of the invalidity insurance are still secret, On Nov- ember 4th Mr. Lloyd George hand- ed 41, draft of it to Mr. Barnes the Grand Master of the Manehster Unity of Oddfellows, The docu- ments were, however, communicat- ed on Cabinet terms, and Mr. Barnes was forbidden to make them Public. Contributions to the scheme will, as in the ease of unemploy- ment insurance, be derived from the worker'the state and the em- ployer, The amount of the combin- ed contribution is unknown and the proportions to be paid by the three parties respectively is also not known. Conjecture has set one- half for the employer, and one-half for the state. wIro WAS BOSS? Once on a time, runs a modern fable, a youth' about to embark on the sea of matrimony, went to his father and said "Father, who should be boss, or my wife?" The old mae smiled and said: - "Here are one hundred hens and a. team Of horses. Hitch up the hors -es put the hens into the wag- on, and wherever you find a man and his wife dwelline°stop and make inquiry as to who is the boss. Wher- ever you find a woman running things, leave a hen. If you come th a place where a man is in con- trol, giire him one of the horses." After ninety-nine hens had been disposed of, he came to a house and Made the usual inquiry. "P.m boss o' this farm," said the 5o the wife' wa,s called and she affirmed her husband's assertion. • "Take whichever horgeyou wept," was the boy's reply.
