"Quit you like men." That is what we eay to One other. Do we not go to the 'drunkard and ay: "Now, be a man?" Of course he is L man already. Even in his drunken- ness he is t humaio being, but, he is not -a man in the complete, meaning of the word. He has put an enemy into his mouth to eteal away his brains, He leao cabdicated, the privileges and dignity of toanhood.

Do not use- too many eggs, nor mix .too *stiff but roll them out as soft as can be handled and use a knife to lift them- from board. 13e sure not to bake them too much. V,When cold put them in a covered stone 'jar arid keep in a cool, dry cellar. In cooky making, even more than in ecake Making, only good materials should be used, with - no stinting- of eggs or butter. Use only pastry flour. Cookies ehoued be turned an a cloth until thor- oughly cooled and then stored in tight- ly closed receptacles. An apple placed in the far will aid in keeping th.em moist. .Most cookies should be mixed as soft RS they can he rolled and cut readily without sticking to the board, care al- ways being taken to Use As little flour' as possible in rolling them out as too much has a ,tendency to make them, hard, even more than mixing them a • little too stiff.

'rho three accounia of thts event differ in detail ire many respects. ° Matthew meridiem two blind men, While Mark and Luke speak ef only one. 4 Matthew and Mark, again, represent the miracle as taking piece vvlien Jesus was leaving Jericho, while Luke represents it as taking Place when he was approaching the city. Accord- ing to Matthew Jesus heals" the man with •a touch, according to Mark, with 4 word of comfort, and according to .Luke, witb a word of -command, It is Useless' to attempt to harmonize the three narratives in these points of de tail. The differences are such an we might naturally expect in three inde- nendenteeaccOunts of the same event/ given by -three different persons several decades after the even,t itself neel ',taken place. We have here a good example of the fact that divine inspiration in no ease rules out or destroys the human element, and it isoonly a narrow view of 'inspiretion and'hits effects which is concerned to reconcile these differ- ences, and make each of the three ac- counts tally word for word with the others: The fact, moreover, that Such differences occur in the gospel narrative is a strong argument In favor of the. authenticity of that narrative. Were the gospel stories concerning the Mira- • cles virciught by- Jesus the product of the imagination of men living at some later tinier or were they the cunningly . de- viseci • fables bf ingenious men, we might expect harmony In detail in the narratives of different writers whet to- gether conspired to deceive those for whom they wrote. ' With the attempts which have been Made to harmonize the three accounts 'of the healing of the blind mane or men, we need not co cern ourselves. The story of the visit of Jesus to the home of Zacchceus is pecu- liar. to Lime s narrative. ---o. Verse 35. As he drew nigh unto Ter- icho—From beyond Jordan to the east where for a short time he had been in retirement with his disciples. ." A certain blind man—Mirk recorde his name, which was Bartirireeus.• Begging—Blind beggars entitle; by the wayside are still a common sightain the Orient. • • . - 36. Inquired what this meant—The blind man's chance ,.for gain depended largely -Upon the nature and character of the crowd which was passing. 37. .Tesus of Nazareth—The -most.eone- mon title of out Lord among the people at this time. Iteliaci doubtless been given to him at first by the Pharisees and others of his enemies who wished to ridicule him. To the common people it *had _.now become a magical turn. 38. Jestie, thou Son of David—A clear indication that the blind man had come to believe in Jesus as the Messiah. 39. Rebuked him—Ilis outcry doubtless diverted the attention of the multitude from Jesus, and was likely to interrupt • the conversation in which he inight• be engaged. • Cried out the mere a great deal— Prompted by the convietion that Jesus was the Messiah. and teat this probably was his one chance to be heated of his blindness, the unfortunate man refus,es to be silent. 40. Jesus stood—StOpped, and gave at- tention. That urgent cry could not be a cry for alms simply, but betrayed a deeper longing and faith. , Commanded him to be brought— Mark records the change of attitude of the multitude toward the blind Man as soon as it was perceived that Jesus took notice of him. 41. What wilt thou—A question asked,' not for information, but to ,,ftst and 'draw out the faith of the man. . • 2. Zacchteus—Not mentioned else- where in the New Testameot. In the. Talinud mention is made of a Zacchinas who lived set Jericho and also of his son', the celebrated Rabbi joehanan. • • Chief, publican—A superior among the tax collectors having subordinate col- lectors under him. • 4. A sycamore tree—Lit. fig -mulberry. This tree, which is common in Pales- tine, was -related to both the fig and the mulberry, though. not identical with either. Its fruit resembles that of the fig tree: its leaf that of the mul- erry; hence the name. 5. Zacchteus, make hate, and come down. -We need not assume any mira- culous power in connection with Christ's recognition of Zacchteus, and, his call- ing him by name. When, however, we note how. thoroughly jeans understood the man's heart and life we must take into account the supernatural know- ledge whieh he possessed, and which was necessary for his works., , For to-day—Lit. this very .day.

A SAVING OF WASTE. • These are the waste materials from the turning lathes and fitting benches, and are valuable ap scrap to be melted down andeutilized for castings. Here again, the magnet used is an electroanagnet. That is to say, the meg- netism is induced by an electric current. When it has gathered up as much as it can conveniently carry, it is swung with its burden over the trolley; the current is broken or reversed, and, the mag- netic force ceasing , to operate, theeload i3 discharged into the truck, when the operation is repeated until the trolley is full. In 1896, the year of the great, cycle craze, in, the city of Rochester, N. le bicycle track W0r3 constructed, the top dressing being fine ashes. When the track was opened, a great number of complaints were received from its patrons because their tyres were con- stantly being punctured. The puncture was just a 'tiny round hole, but often as many as five or six would be found in one tyre after it had been over the track; nor was ally" ex- planation forthcoming until full inquir- ies had , been instituted.
