at least seem of the important fact
tors concerned in high dessert quills
ity in apples:
First there met be a fairly large
sugar conthet. Even in the se -called
eebacid apples there is a good pen-
eentage of sugars. These vary cen-
siderably with different fruits, and
a single fruit may have several kinds
or types of sugars, but for the press
ent discussion we may class there a I
together an the total of them must
be high for high quality. -
In the escend place we have some
type of acid in the fruit. With apples,
peaches, cherries and some other
fruits it is malic acid alone, while in
cranberries we have both malic and
tartaric acid. And of course the ratio
,
between the acid and sugar contents
determine& whether the variety •is
,classed as serest, subacid or acid.
The third firtor in making up the
quality of a fruit is the essential oil,
as it is called. These oils are very
complicated and -variable in their
chemioal composition with different
fruits but agree in carrying, with
them the characteristic Aheor and
flavor of the feuit, the extract from
apples for example having in con-
teatrated form that delightful frag-
rance which one gets on entering a
storage house where fine apples are
being IssiPt.
• THREE ESSENTIAL FACTORS.
In the production of the actual
quality of an apple these three ac-
tors, sugars, acids and essential oils,
are all that we recognize it present
as entering into the case. But at
least one other factor is quite im-
portant in the impression one get...s
of the quality of an apple as it is

and a pleasant voice.
"I'm coming rightnin, as usual. I
see you are busy," and.a rolyepoly lit-

in the easiest chair. She looked at
Anne, at the ironing board and the
empty clothes rack, then at the large,
embroidered piece that Anne was
spreading on the hoard.
"You're never going to begin on

"Aunt Martha always says to do

piece from the board, folded it up arid
tucked it avell down in the Middle of
the pile. Then she unrolled" a plain
gingham apron and laid it- on the
board before the aetonished Anne.
"Let's try going at it in the Lord's
way," she aid calmly, "You will get
done sooner; and you will be obeying
Aunt ,Martha in spirit, if not in let-
ter. She means well, no doubt; but
sha' e got the wrong idea."
,"Why—what do you mean?" gasped
Anne, half shocked. -
"I ewers just this, dear Anne," re;

• an imposter and a blasphemer. His
Cross was regarded as the final dis-
proof of his claims; his resurrection
was believed to be a fiction of his dis-
ciples.. Consequently, St. Paul's logi-
cal method was twofold: (1) To show
from the Old Testament, from such
passages as Isaiah 53, Psalm 16,
Psalm 110, that the vicarious suffer-
ing and rising again of the Messiah
were foretold by the prophets and
psahnists; (2) To show that Jesus of
Nazareth was ,the Messiah. In this
sense Paul "opens and alleges" that
"it behoved the Christ -to suffer and
to rise again from the dead." . The
result of the preaching was only par-
tial among the Jews, but among the
"devout Greelisees that is, among the
interested religeoste inq'uirere above
referred to, the effect was notable.
Practically the whole of these Greeks
transferred themselves from Judaism
to the Christian mission.

V. 5. Jealous and incensed, the Jews
instigate a riot among the reckless
elements in the city populace, and col-
lecting a huge mob, besiege the house
of Jason, where Paul and Silas were
stayieg, demanding that the mission-
aries be surrendered.
Vs. 6-7. Foiled in this, they -seize
Jason and some others who had trans -
!erred their faith from Judaism to
Jesus Christ, and drag them before
the magistrates, protesting that Jason
had reeeived into his house certain
persone, Christian missionaries, who
were known to be revolutionaries or
disturbers a the vierld's peace, and
that the whole order a Christian be-
lievers was dangerous and hostile to
the decrees of Csesar, because they
proclaimed another king, Jesus by
name.
Vs. 8-10. This was a specious argu-
ment, and created. grave concern both
on the part of the credulous public
and on the part of the authorities.
Nevertheless, the latter considered it
enough in the meantime to exact
guarantees of good conduct from Ja-
son and the other Christians Involved
in the charge. The Chrietian com-
munity, however'considered the situ-
ation so serious that they resolved to
convey Paul and Silas for safety's
sake out of the dangerous area of
Thessalonico and on to the next im-
portant centre at Berea. Thus ended
the first Christian missfon to Thes-
salonica. A Christian Church had
been planted of which we -shall hear
more in our next lesson.
II. BETTER THINGS AT BEREA, 1142,
V. 10. At Berea, Paul and Silas
followed the same methods as at Thes-
sanonica, utilizing once again the Jew-
ieh synagogue as the centre of opera-
tion, and the Scriptures as their text-
book.
V. 11. The results were better than
at Theeealonica. The Jews of Berea
showed a frank open-minded willing-
ness' to consider the truth announced
by Paul. They came together daily
for • Scripture study and exposition,
giving their attention' Specially to the
Scriptere-proofs of Jesus which Pau:
laid before them. ,
V. 12. The result was a large con-
version of Jewish hearers. 'Po this

milided Greeks. wbo adhered to the

Pop -Overs That Pop.

"Why don't my pop -overs pop?"
The secret is' to have a quick' oven
and to have the pans hot. Place them
in the oven when starting to mix.
When ready, grease quickly, pour the
batter by spoonfuls into the double -
row gem pans while they are hot.
By the time the last spoonful is in
the first ones will be well risen. Iron
gem pans give the most satisfaction
as they retain the heat longer.

KITCHEN
COSMETICS
BY ANNA NIXON,
Beauty culture) in the kitchen1
Why pot? Too often the busy wife
Rua mothor permits her beauty to fade
years Wore there is any good roa,
son for it
"1 haven't time or money for cos-
metics or for treatment in beauty
ships," This is her excuse.
The answer is that she owl pursue
the culture �f beauty right in her
kitchen.
The value of kitehen calisthenica
with -broom and mop is generally 'me-
ognized. What the majority of women
have not learned is that many fruits,
vegetables and other staple kitchen
supplies are excellent substitutes for
expensive cosseetice.
This does not mean that the aver-
age woman can afford to dispense
entirely with certain toilet requisites
which- must be bought. A good cold
creme, vanishing cream, face powder,
and the like, are necessary to a well-
groomed appearance. But there are
many simple home remedies which are
just as valueble aids to a smooth,
cleer complexion as are the contents
of the • fascinating bottles and jars
which come frem the bea,uty shop.
Great-grandmother knew this. She
bathed her face and hands in mills.
She concocted paste e of honey, egg
white, oatmeal, and the like, long
before the modern clay pack was
thought of. And the prim young
Victorian grandmother of the modern
rouged miss was not above applying a
touch of. beet Juice to the-eheeks.
And if the 1)icturesque custom of
bathing her face in dew on May Day
fained as a charm in warding off
freckles, did grandmother despair?
Not she. She knew that nightly
applieations or buttermilk or other
sur milk, allowed to dry and to re-
inain on the nein overnight, would
fade the freckles.
The rerleeilnilk remedy is still in
use and is a safe and excellent one for
freebies. Some persons mix grated
horseradish root with the buttermilk
to hasten the process. Bat no one
with a sensitive i:1n or with a break
ie the skin should undertake so dras-
tic a, treatment. .1 luted lemon juice
is another remedy for freckles. .
Stains on the hands caused by pre-
paring fruits or vegetables, for the
table, by gardening, or like tasks, are
easily retrieved by applications of
tomato Or lemon juice. And rhubarb
Juice is especially good for this pur-
pose. Break a stalk of rhubarb, and
with the broken end scrub the hand
and finger nails just as you would use
a nail brash. It works like magic.
The pitcher from which the last
drop of cream apparently had been
drained for. the breakfast coffee will
Ain yield enough cream from the in-
ner surface for an application to the
lace.
It soothes and smooths a rough skin
and also whitens. Cream is excep-
tionally fine for keeping the lips
smooth and soft.
The eggshell from which the raw
contents have been removed will still
contain enough of the white for a
beauty mask which takes but a mo-
ment to apply and which dries in a
few minutes. Rub it into the skin
with the fingers, being carefulto cover
the face evenly.
It is a good plan to apply the cream
first, letting it remain on the face
half an hour. Then remove all sur-
plus cream gently with a eat cloth.
Apply the egg mask and let it remain
from five to fifteens minutes. This
period is an excellent time to do the
daily dusting. Remove the egg white
-with clear coal water. Then, if ice is
available, rub the face gently for a
half minute or so with a smooth bit
of ice.
To complete .this treatment, the re-
sults of which are equal to an expen-
sive hour er two spent in- a beauty
shop, apply an astringent. Cucumber
juice is a bland and very fine astrin-
gent for the face. It is said to have
whitenini properties also. Just rub
tbe cut surface of the vegetable over
the face.
The daily ice rub is a valuable aid
to beauty. A young woman whose
pink cheeks are the wonder and envy
of her friends gets her splendid conor
from the ice box instead .of from the
rouge jar.
Olive oil is another staple which
makes itself useful at the dressing
table. One woman of my acquain-
tance with a notably smooth skin at
an age when most skins begin to show
the wear of years, uses olive oil gen-
erously as e substitute for cleansing
cream end cold cream.

and ironing it after the second. Don't
