a pint of cream and heat to boiling
point, to which add the yolks of
four eggs, and stir until thick.
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

work Until I beg

I had never realized how closely
related our spiritual and our pbysi-
eal bodies are, -or that tired -out.

bors for

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."

ART ON EGG SHELLS.
•
Expert Puts Froin 4,000 to 5,000
.Cuts on Brittle Surface.
It does not seem possible that
the humble hen's egg can play any
part in art. 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.

More. 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.

They convey .nothing- of the-•- deep.

individual cases.
Loss of memory plays a very large°
pert, Doctors who have studied
this curious mental state have put
it down to the delirium of speed
which is ,such- a factor in modern
life. Under the great strainof ner-
vous tension the brain breaks down
temporarily and the mind becomes

,» The Craving for Adventure.
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 disappearance of Gri
maldi's brother was equally • mys
teriou,s. Grimaldi. was playing at

:Invalids there ere aplenty who'
have made good, but the ° modern
struggle for existence, to say noth-
ing of business success, calls for ro-
bust' health. Having good health,
do not squander it.
He must be alert, progressive;
quick` to grasp opportunities, deter
mined, ambitious and persevering.
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." Yoti have far
more -you have the key to success
in life.
