The Jews were always eapeci ally exposed to persecution, and as the mob would be likely to snake no distinction between Jews and Christians, particularly as Paul was a Jew, they put forward a promin- ent Jew named Alexander to de- fend then!. Possibly he was Alex- ander, the coppersmith, of 2 Tim. 4 : 11, who "did Paul much evil. ' But Alexander only excited th(' mob still more. 33.

Take one small tender leaf of new cabbage, two or three find lettuce leaves, half a dozen pitted olives, two or three sprigs of parsley, some sprays of watercress, chop rather fine and dress with oil, vino - gar, pepper and salt in the usual proportions. and add, if you like, a bit of horseradish. Baked Cucumbers. --Peel good- sized green cucumbers. To each six allow ono pint of finely chop- ped meat, to which add a table- spoonful of onion juice, one tea- spoonful of salt, and a salt -spoon- ful of pepper. Put this into the spaces from which you have taken tho seeds. Pat cucumbers together, tie or fasten tlsein with skewers, and stand there in a pan. Put in the pan a teaspoonful of salt, one chopped onion, two peeled and chopped tomatoes, and half a cup- ful of water. Baste every ten minutes. Strain sauce in pan when cucumbers are done and pour over them. Serve at once. The crooked neck squash may bo stuffed and baked the same. SEASONABLE DISHES. Pineapple Layer Cake.—Use any good recipe fur layer cake and bake in three large tins. Put between each layer the grated pineapple and ice with plain icing, flavored '.itn n little lemon juice. Tho pineapple by itself makes a rich, moist fiil- ling and should not bo allowed to stand more than a few hours before serving. If the cake is to be kept longer some of the plain frosting should be stirred into the pineap- ple before the cake is put together. String Beans and Cheese --String one quart of green beans. Cut in small pieces and boil in salt water till done. Drain and then put them iu a saucepan with one large cup of grated parmesan cheese (other cheese will do), tablespoonful but- ter, small cup of niilk, rather largo dash of cayenne pepper, and cook five minutes, etirrri:g constantly. Serve while hot. Wax beans are good cooked this way. Sweet Potatoes.- Cut cold boiled sweet potatoes lengthwise. Put a layer pointed part un the rim of a stone soup plate. Sprinkle granulated sugar and cinnamon on the potatoes and dot with small pieces of butter Do this to each layer. In the middle put a trashed sweet potato and cross it each way to look like the centre of a sun- flower. Put sugar, cinnamon, anti butter on top. Bake in oven until brown. Serve in same dish. Scalloped Potatoes.—I'arbnil a quart of sliced potatoes. l'ut a layer of these potatf es in a bak- ing dish, sprinkle with salt, pep- per, grated cream cheese, and chop• ped pinrentoes. Add a few small pieces of butter. Continue this process until the potatoes are used up. fear over all about a cupful of milk. Bake in the oven until brown. Rich Fruit Sandwiches. — Grind in the food chopper one cupful of raisins, ono cupful of figs, one cup- ful of dates, and one cupful of pecans or English walnuts. Grind with the finest knife and put through a second time after nix- ing all well together. The result is a rich fruit and nut paste which will keep for a long time in a cool place and uiay be used for sweet sandwiches either on white or whole wheat bread. Children will prefer these sandwiches to cake. Almond acd Preserved Ginger. -- Mix three tablespoonfuls of finely chopped blanched almonds, two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped preserved ginger, and one and one- half tablespoonfuls of orange juice. Spread on unsalted wafters or on thin slices of gingerbread. Marshmallow and Pecan. — Chop [csur tablespoonfuls of pecan ker- nels moderately find and cut six- teen marshmallows in pieces with scissors and add to the almonds. Place in a double boiler and heat over hot water, stirring constant- ly until the marshmallows begin to spread, then use at once on thin slices of white bread. Egg and Sardine Sandwiches. — To two hard boiled eggs add six boned sardines. Mash all together and season with mustard, a few drops of moat sauce if liked, cay- enne and salt and forte into a smooth paste by adding either may- onnaise or b•„led salad dressing. Spread un rather thick slices of white broad and serve without a top piece. !)ate and Nut Sandwiches -- Chop fine one-half a cupful of dates and add half a cupful of rich cream• Mix smoothly and add ono -half cup- ful of chopped English walnut meats. Keep in a cool place until needed. then spread on thin slices of whole wheat or white bread. Pimento Sandwiches. ---On thin rounds of steamed bruwn bread spread a little butter, then a layer of Neufchatel cheese, then a layer of chopped pimento. Cover with another buttered round of brown bread. ceived the notice of the fire within a minute or two afterwards. The duke would immediately get his fire engine under way and dash off to the scene of the conflagration, invariably stopping at Marlbor- ough House to pick up his future king, and, on reaching the fire and reporting to Captain Shaw, prince and duke were placed in a posi- tion to render valuable service. In the years dating from 1804 to 1876, when the prince went out to India, he must have attended not merely scores, but even hundreds of fires in London, with the late Duke of Sutherland as part and parcel of the crew of the ducal fire engine, and acquired in this way a good deal of experience, besides win- ding a considerable amount of po- pularity. People of the present generation, title, have only known King Edward as a somewhat stately monarch of portly presence and extremely de- liberate in his movements. are to e great extent ignorant of the fact that in his younger days he was a /singularly dashing and plucky fire fighter, who has several rescues to his credit, and who was quite an adept in sprinting up and down fire ladders and iu manoeuvring the Inose. It needed the brief mention of the King, in his address to the fire brigade last week, that he had been an amateur fireman himself in times gone by to recall his record in this particular.

IMPROVED POULTII'E. In place of using hot water use but water in which boric acid has been dissolved. The best plan is to take rather more than the quan- tity of water you know will be re- quired and to dii.solve in this as much boric acid as it would take up. Then mix just as you would if using simple water. The easiest way of dissolving boric acid is to put it into a dry vessel and pour e n it about a teaspoonful of water, working the peed'sr into a soft mass while slowly adding more water. Poultices so made help to keep the parts to which they are applied quite wholesome. They are anti- septic and se kill the germs of dis- ease.
