Take it off the fire and add a little sprinkling of salt and pepper. Pour over the asparagus and bread and serve hot. Olandese Sanee.-A sauce which the clever cook may use in many other ways, as well at in serving asparagus is made as follows: Rub four ounces of butter to a creath in -a saucepan or bowl. Add four yolks.:. of eggs and beat wellto- gether ; o-gether; then add one teaspoonful of salt and juice of half a. lemon, 'a pinch of cayenne and one cupful of hot, water poured in by degrees. Mix well and .put. in a double boiler (or set saucepan in poi of boiling water). Stir until the' saucebe- comes of the consistency of .thick cream, being careful not to let it boil. Take off the fire and continue to stir for some minutes. "Oland- ese" sauce ought to be quite smooth and creamy. Asparagus (Italian fashion) —1 Break some asparagus into pieces; boil soft, andlirain the water, take' a little oil, water and vinegar and let it boil, then season with pep -1 per and salt. Pour in the aspara- ' gus and thicken with the whites of eggs. Green peas, cooked as above,1 are also very good; but lettuce, cut small, may be added and two or three onions, according to taste, omitting the eggs. Asparagus on Toast.—Cut off the bottom of the stalks of a bunch of asparagus to make them even, and put in a pan of cold water till near dinner time, Put the bunch in boiling water, in which a pinch of soda has been dissolved. Boil al quarter of an hour, then drain andl serve en buttered toast; placing the l white ends of the asparagus on the. toast. Pour one tablespoonful of smelted butter over the green. heads in the dish. -- Mita Asparagus. -Many people prefer asparagus served plain. For this, it is. only necessary to put the heads and softer parts of the stalk, either the whole or cut in inch long pieces, into boiling water, in which salt has been dissolved. Boil un- til soft, as previously stated, and serve with butter. Necessity of Rest. Years ago I discovered it was a spiritual as well as a physical ne- cessity to have intervals of rest. throughout the day -rest even from the companionship of those I loved the most dearly, writes a mo- ther. My body so often became overtired from pressure of work that falls to the lot of every mo- ther ; my nervus sympathized as every good neighbor should, and my spirits ran at low ebb. But that ambitious brain—not always as wise a neighbor as my nerves said : "Go on 1 Go on 1 There are a dozen things to be done. yet1" and I obeyed my poor, foolish brain until my whole body and nerves became slaves to an imperious master. At last they revolted. They made my brain understand. that its servants were not doing as good work, .nor as much, under the whiplash of injustice, and it wise- ly changed its method. "Rest every little while," it now said. "You will work with new zeal. You will do more, and you will love your work. Your children will catcla. your happy Mood just as before they caught your weary fretfulness." Since then I make it a part of my religion to lie down on my back in a quiet room when I , began to feel tired, and -to relax every muscle and close my eyes (and my mind if possible) to all outward things. It is a wonderful' tonic! It never fails to give me a new spiri- tual uplift. My loved ones seem more lovely to me, my home more attractive, and I an always glad of Life and the blessed privilege of work Until I beg an this practice g I had never realized how closely related our spiritual and our pbysi- eal bodies are, -or that tired -out. muscles and nerves are poor neigh- bors for eigh-bors'for the spirit.

MORE THAN EVER. Increased Capacity for Mental Labor. Many former tea and coffee drink- ers who have mental -work to per- form, day after day, have found a better. capacity and greater endur- ance by using Postum instead of tea and coffee. A Western woman writes: "I had drank coffee for about twenty years, and finally had what the doctor called "coffee heart." I was nervous and extremely de- spondent; had little mental or physical strength left, had kidney trouble and constipation." (Tea is just as harmful because it"con- tains caffeine,' the same drug found in coffee.) "The first noticeable benefit de- rived from the change from coffee to Postum was the natural action et the kidneys and bowels. In two weeks my be art action was greatly improved and my nerves steady. "Then I became despondent, and the desire to be active again show- ed proof of renewed physical and mental strength. "I am steadily gaining in physi- cal strength and brain power. I formerly did mental work and had' to give it up on` aceount of coffee, but since using Pestum'I am doing hard mental labor with less fa- tigue than a-tigue;than ever°before."

The fact, however, that it is the most fragile sub- stance obtainable and, the most dif- ficult thing imaginable to handle induced Henry C. Mahoney, • of Brighton, England, to , set about carving the surface of a hen's egg. His first ' experiments were com- plete failures, and the only one to benefit was, the tradesman who supplied him with,, the eggs. . "The first I managed to do_suc- cessfully." he said; "was sent to King Edward VII. It was, I' be- lieve, the first one of its kind in existence. "When I' have' selected an egg I hold- it up to a , very strong light to• make -sure its free from straw, and 'uteri ":I draw the -Hitend& de^` sign on paper. "This I' repeat until I have com- mitted it to memory, because. it: is not practicable to sketch the' whole design on the shell; as it is neces- sary to wash it a good many times during the ptogress of the work. "If it were held in the hand in the ordinary' way the heat of the blood would have a detrimental ef- fect on the shell, so I keep a cold cloth round it. - "The only tool I use is an en- graver's square, specially temper- ed and .sharpened,, with a long V-shaped end. This I have to sharp- en after every few strokes, be- cause the edge is quickly dulled by the. brittle surface of the shell." A beautiful example of his art, to which he was , giving the final touches, contained the monogram and cypher of ifing George V. sur- mounted- by the Royal Crown, and: bore the words: "Long Live the King. Crowned. June, 1911,". in 'a scroll. The jewels cut in the crown re- quired very great care. They were so close to each- other that a breath of wind through a tube would have shivered the whole shell into a thousand fragments. It was a remarkable piece of work, similar to this, and bearing the Prince of, Wale's feathers and the motto,. "Ich -Dien" that Mr. Mahoney sent to King George ':V. before he succeeded to the throne. There was an interesting sequel; Mr. Mahoney was surprised one day. by a visit from an emissary, who had obviously called with the. purpose of testing the genuineness of the carving on` the eggshell that had reached Marlborough House, He inspected everything in the workshop', especially the chisel used in the delicate work. The caller: was apparently more than satisfied, and the end of it was that the Prince of Wales purchased the carved shell.

People "Went Down" On the 'Eitanio "-Titan Were On Board. Since the year 1907 Scotland Yard returns show that altogether 170,- 472 people have been reported ?amiss- ing in the Metropolitan , (London, England) Police area. Of' this num- ber 167,212 have been aceounted for, spine either returning voluntar- ily to their relatives or being res,; tered to them by the police. But the most remarkable thing about these figures is the fact that 3,260 people have absolutely vanished. Their stories may never be known. It is as though the population of a village had entirely disappeared in the short space of six years. In 1911 28,958 persons were re - Ported missing,. Of ` these 10,416 were discovered by the police -and 18,075 returned on• their'' own 'ac- count or were traced : through:the effort of friends and . relatives.

The public has been alarmed of late at the number of young girls who have figured among the report- ed missing. In a proportion of these cases there may be real cause for apprehension. But the police are satisfied that in the majority the disappearnce is intentional, be- ing the outcome of a craving on the part of the modern young girl for adventure. These adventures are naturally surrounded with , grave dangers for those .who take part ;ii them. But mere often than not the missing are discovered and placed in the care of their relatives. In order to avoid very just admonition the culprit often resorts to invent- ing an abditciox '., .... ,. Neitheees tats an entirely modern f eatere. Early in the eighteenth century a girl named Elizabeth Canning dis- appeared from her home and evad- ed all efforts to discover her. She returned after a month, Her story Was that the gipsies had stolen her: For this certain. gipsies in the dis- trict were brought to trial, and two of them were sentenced to death. After further investigations pend- ing the execution they werere- prieved and Elizabeth herself was .charged with perjury. She was found guilty ' and sentenced to transportation for. a period ofse ven years. It was suggested. then that the girl fabricated the story in order to avert piinisbment. • There . Seems little doubt that neurotic 1 young girls of to -day who leave home in a state of hysteria resort to a similar plan to avert parental wrath. Sick of Formality. An interesting' case of past years, in which boredom with' the conven- tialitie.s of society caused a man to vanish was that of Waring, -ieho figured in a poem of. Robert Brown- ing, 'entitled "What's Become of Waring 1" Waring was a great fig- ure' in the social life of the wtime. One day he was absent from his usual haunts. He ;was never heard of nor seen by friends for some twenty years. Then a friend dis- covered; him by chance abroad, and Waring explained that he had sine=' ply become sick to death of the re- strictions which social etiquette and formality placed upon his move - menta. An M.P. Who Vanished. Another celebrated disappear ance of the past was that of Mr. Jasper Pyne, 117:P. for West Water- -ford, who .took" a ticket for Ireland and was never seen or heard of again.

The ' quality of stick-to-itiveness counts more than brilliancy when making good is in order. He must be able to make friends, and keep them, even when his 'in- terests clash with theirs. It takes a big man to be popular and success- ful at the same time. It is a despic- able nature that works his friends; a weak one that allows friends to work him. He must live within 'his means— well within. "If," as Franklin tells us, ",you' know how to spend .boss than you get, you have the phi- losopher's stone."
