The plans for turning the desert regions of Mesopotamia into an agricultural paradise are being pushed by the Turkish government in spite orf ,its external troubles. The irrigation scheme, which origi- nated in the brain of Sir William Willcocks, will involve the expendi- ture of $150,000,000 before it is complete. The danswhich is to control the flood waters of the River Euphrates is under oonstruction by a British company, and the Turkish govern- ment is , now anxious to proceed with the initial'istages of the irriga- tion` works. The success of the plan will en- able enough grain to be grown to affect the cereal, markets of, •,the world. In ancient times the whole of the Euphrates • delta was irri- gated, and the rank growth of grain excited the wonder of Greek <tra- velers. According to the sometimes vera- cious Herodotus, the land - yielded three hundred -fold, and there is no doubt that at the time of the Greek historian's visa the delta was the chief granary of the world..

FROG THE ACOR TO THE OAK This Is God's Order, This Is Human History the World Over and the Ages Through g Matthew v., 17.—I came not to destroy but to fulfil. To acquire something more out of what we already have is the great principle enforced by evolution. Out of 'the chaos of the fire -mist is evolved the structure of the globe. In matter, in brute life; in social institutions, in government, in re'- ligion, the same method obtains. Here is the principle of continuity. The oak develops from the acorn, the harvest from the planted grain. Jesus t -he *great Teacher wrought by this method. He; developed His new kingdom out of the old, He did not destroy the Decalogue, but fulfilled it: He took the Samaritan woman's crude idea of worship at Mount Gerizim, and out of that evolved -'the larger thought of spiri- tual worship in every place.; The larger acquisitions of truth and character must always come from what we already have. This is God's order, never destroying the Past, but out of itevolving the greater' Present, THE MORE GLORIOUS NOW. All progress in truth ' must' be in' accord with this principle. The idea of • human 'liberty, slowly but continuously unfolds in the politi- cal history of .the world. is with spiritual truth. So it i i l r ath. ,All truths, including the truths of re- ligion, are germinal. A truth is not a diamond, but a seed.: A11 we ever know of God and the kingdoms of ap ritual truth must come from what we already have, A man should never destroy the. faith of his child'- ` d _ but out' a it ' ti'olve a larger hoc t£ 4 y�. 9 L. faith. - A new theology is safe only r it is evolved from the old.•, ids The same applies to character. A man ' is disgusted with himself wants to get away from himself. He cannot. He must carry up what he is to be a better manhood. His fol -- lies, mistakes and sins remain a part of his historic character. Out of the acorn comes.the oak. Jesus Christ stands before each of us say- ing:—``I came not to destroy you, but to fulfil you." To a man hope- less, discouraged, who would fain get away from his past and begin life all over again, JESUS CHRIST COMES, and taking his poor, bruised, bro- ken, sin cursed nature as it is, re- constructs it, renews it, redeems it, always making the new manhood out of the old. An eloquent preacher said :—"If Christ had spoken to farmers. in- stead of shepherds, I think, instead of picturing the love that sought the "wandering .sheep • and brought it into. the •fold, He,; would have wonderfully_pictured: the ; love that found the trampled grain,with all' its power of life, and buried it in the rich ground." ' So in Christian work God uses men as they are, and uses what they have. The. faithfulman brings his -little gift, utters, his feeble word, breathes his earnest prayer, and .God takes it &s the prophet took the woman's cruse of oil, and; multiplies ` it and augments' it in-' finitely.

The aubergine is smaller and more delicate than our eggplant, but much like it in appearance and fla- vor. The eggplant makes an excel- lent `substitute. Slice and peel this, after you have parboiled the egg- plant.

If your cellar is damp, as zt as apt to be in tinea early spring, pat a piece of unslake~d lime tit, it. It absorba the moist tarit and keeps the place sweet. Scratches on polished wood, not too deep, can be removed by rubbing gently with fine sandpaper and then with a mixture of olive oil and vinegar. To simmer is to boil slowly, if the liquor "throws up bubbles above its surface it is boiling at a. gallon, and will harden any meat that is cooking in it, if it seems difficult to clean the seams or stitching en white gloves, try rubbing with a soft brush dip- ped in the gasoline; this usually works like a charm. Pain stains that are dry and old may be removed from cotton or woollen goods with chloroform. It is a good plan to first cover the spot with olive oil or butter,. One woman who has a reputation for her cooking always adds just a pinch of baking powder to the crack- er—not bread --crumbs, in which she rolls the oysters before frying. One of the low stools; substantial- ly made and costing about twenty- five cents is a great help in the kit- chen or closet where there are high shelves' out of arm's r ach. 3 e If the has not access to the stove, she will find one of the alcohol irons of great help.

To prevent potatoes becoming black when cooked put them into cold water, and when brought to the boil squeeze lemon and juice in. They will then keep a good color and be of goad flavor.
