• Hougeliold Hints.
Soup should always be simmered,
not boiled.
• Allow nearly three hours for
roasting a ten -pound turkey.
To crisp eelery, let it he in inc
water two hours before serving.
• Sponge black goods thoroughly
with alcohol to take away a dusty
mok. •'
Keep a calendar with pencil at-
• tached, in the kitchen for house-
• keeping accounts.
Never leave canned food in the
tins after opening. • Reinove im-
mediately.
Instead of Italieof better, cubes
with fluted edges are a pleasant
change.
• Don't put simple milk puddings
in a very hot oven, or the milk will
curdle. •
Unless a turkey is very young, it
should be steamed tar an hour be-
fore roasting.
• Fat for frying should be boiling
before the article • tos be fried is
dropped into it:
When chestnuts are in season,
they are a delicious addition
(boiled) to a simple salad. •.
One of the economies of a well-
run kitchen is a biscuit and dough-

• Pour olive oil •into the bottle if
you open a large bottle of olives—
it will preserve the flavor.
• Never leave the furnice ashes
uncovered after sifting. Sprinkle
with water and leave tightly cov-
ered.
When• boiling
vegetables, never
let them stop 'honing until they are
done, or they will be soggy and
heavy.
Never expose an opal to heat, or
it will crack. Clean it with cold

DOT VEILS ENRICH OCULISTS.
Closely Woven Network Also Is
• Cause of Eye Troubles.
"Every dot in a woman's veil is
worth a sovereign to the oculist,"
an old English member of the pro-
fession declares, "and there is no
doubt that the modern veil, with its
intricate figuring and bold designs,
is far more harmful than the old;
time veil, which was either plain
or adorned with small spots.
"A closely, woven network offers
a considerable barrier to evapora-
tion and the surrounding of the
skin of the face with material which
hinders the proper ventilation of
the eyes and skiu prodnoes a certain
amount of trouble. Thus all condi-
tioas of eczema, er skin irritation
which women oomplain of are due
to the heated oondition of the eye
brought about by the veil.
"Associated with the watering
there is redness of the eyes and a
curious over -sensitiveness to light.
Again a veil which is twisted tight-
ly under the ehin. compresses the
veins of the face, and this intensi-
fies any tendency to skin irritation,
and ma,y account by impeding the
circulation for woman's chief dread
in life—a red nese.
"Always in the autumn on, ocu-
list gets a certain number of cases,
principally of young people, who
find that they oarmot read or write
in a dim light. That is due to the
exha,usting of the eye with -too moth
light, Young people nee only go
about without head covering, but
they read on the beech for long per-
iods in full sunlight, with the result
that, they get what is known as ac-
quired night bliudness,"

ivhich is obviously intended to be

word "about" indicates.
Peter, and Janne, and John
The selected group of disciples,
ionizing an inner circle within the
larger company, and selected on
severe,' other occasions to be the
exclusive companwee of Jesus at
crucial moments in his ministry.
A high mountain—Luke uses the
definite article "the," while in 2
Peter a 18 the scene (if the trans-
figuration is refetred to as "the

pare introductory paragraph above,

word, has it, altered. Jesus him-
self refers to what happened as
vision (Matt, 17. 9), However we
may explain the event, it was clear-
ly a revelation of reality and no
mere mockery of the senses.
3. Glistering — An exceptional
'word, net occurring again in the
New Testament, though used else-
where in describing the flashing of
burnished braes or gold.
As no fuller on earth ean whiten
them—The fuller'art seems to
have consisted in "washing the ma-
terial with some preparation of
lye, beating or rubbing it, and ex-
posing it to the rays of the sun,"
The oka,ning and bleaching involv-
ed in this process achieved exeep-
Urinal results in the whitening of
the cloth, as remains of ancient
Egyptian linen testify.
4. Elijah with Moses—Usually re-
garded as representing the two
great stages of Old Testament re-
velation, prophecy and legislation.
Itt reality, however, Moses was as
much of a prophet as Elijah, while
Elijah was constantly insisting up-
on the requirements of Jehovah's
law.
Talking with Jesus—Concerning
his impending decease at Jerusa-
lem (compare Luke 9. 31).
5. Peter answereth—All three
synoptists epresent Peter as the
spokesman of the apostolic group.
His action under the cireurastatiees

ardent,. and impulsive nature.
Rabbi—A eustomary title by
which a pupil addressed his teacher.
Three tabernacles—Or, *booths.
These an the slopes of Mouat Her..
moe could easily be made from
branches of trees. Peter is wholly
unselfish and forgetful of the needs
of botla himself and his two com-
panions, thinking only of the Mas-
ter and his distinguished visitants.
6. Knew not what to answer—
The overwhelming impression of
the vision seemed to demand some
word in response. Its marvelous
nature, however, was eonducive to
awe and fear rather than to sober
reflective thought.
7. There came a cloud—Peter's
well -meant but only half coherent
proposal is not answered, except in
the progress of events incident to
the divine manifestation as a
whole; of this the overshadowing
cloud and the voice out of the cloud
were a part.
Hear ye him—Not Moses and the
prophets, but Jesus, is hereafter to
be their guide and authority.
8. They saw no one any mare,
save Jesus only—The actual depar-
ture el Moses and Elijah it was not
given the disciples to witness.
9. As they were coining down—
According to Luken apparently an
the morning hallowing the trans-
figuration.,
Save when—The time of the re-
surrection is left indefinite and con-
tingent.
10. Kept the saying --Obeyed his
command to tell no man, though
among themselves the strange
words of Jesus concerning his resur-
rection from the dead, togeiher
with the event itself, was a matter
of frequent conversation and guess
11. And they asked him --A fur-
ther difficulty presents itself to
their thinking. According to the
teaching of the scribes, the advent
of the Messiah was to be preceded
by the reappearance oe Elijah; but
here was an appearance of Elijah
after the Messinh'e advent; con-
cerning whiela Jesus had charged
them to say nothing.

work of John the Baptist, who cense

NO ROYA.L ROAD IN FOG.
Torches Preeeded Edward VII.
Tramping Home One Night.
Reeently the King had the exper-
ience of driving home from the thea-
tre with torchbearers tramping in
front, The incident recalls the
most curious sight in a pretty Tar-
ie,d London life wrote a London
correspondent.
Groping down St. James Street
early one foggy night about the
middle of King Edward's reign, I
was surprised by a great glare of
torches, and there emerged silently
frem the fog a number of men, like
footmen, bearing torches and be -
bind them a group of gentlemen in
cloaks surrounding some one walk-
ing heavily in the middle, and an-
other body of torchbearers brought
up the rear.
The personage in the middle was
revealed by the torches as King
Edward, and the party moved slow-
ly- and silently dewn the street
along the Mall to Buckingham Pal-
ace. The King had been dining
with Mrs. George Keppel in Port-
man Square. It was a curious
sight to see and made one think of
