In the case under notice the boy, a son of .a well-to-do and very hon- orable family of Magdeburg, stele $176 and then disappeared. The pollee were asked to arrest him, as already he had shown himself an exceedingly headstrong -character. For a week no trace of him could be found. Finally . he was discovered dead in a hotel in Frankfort, having &sot hinsaelf in the head. More recently still, iti Berlin, the --eon of a hostler, only 13, hanged himself in the eahlar, having been - sharply /molded by his stepmother for not being able to give an asa • count et a penny piece that accielen- ta,lly fell from his overcoat pocket. ipt• At all events, that was the expla- nation given to the authorities, and , which_ was accepted for want of a - better. Last week, a,gain, a boy of 14 years shot himself in bed after showing extraordinary deliberation and invention in fixing up the ap- paratus by means of which he die- , . eharged the Distal. These were three of the more re- arkable eases. One may also re- member a -case of double suicide in vrhieh two eohool children, a boy 1; and a girl, ended their lives, ard ' many almost inexplicable oases of the suicide of young servant girls. • Indeed, a casual glance at the sui- cide list e might lead one to believe that in Germany suicide is more common under 20 than in adult , I,d ages. r_ eo The general rea,sons are not very p clear. Sdtool examinations and the strenuous rogramme of the Ger- man schools have undoubtedly been • a factor in some eases. It is even •said that the education syetena which has certainly done so much • toward the greatness of modern .Ctermany is one that ultimately "sends the weak ones to the wall.' Perhaps a greeter factor is the psy- 'ohological upheaval coming in the wake of a oommercial rise of great rapidity. Parents who were brought up with Spartan simplicity now find themselves able to bring -up their ehildren in the lap of lux- ury. Indeed, there is possibly a tendenty toward too, much luxury. • The mode of living of -a, part of the Gletman race is thought to have produced a vein of degeneration.

Nat Brett/I.—One egg, one cup - fill of white sugar, A pinch of salt, a awful of Sweet milk, three cup- fule of flour sifted with four tea- spoonfuls of baking poweter, one cupful of nut meats worleed in at the last. Put into loaf tins, let stand for twenty minutes, and bake for three-quarters of an hour. Brown Betty.—Put into a greased pudding dish a layer of peeled and chopped apples, sprinkle tightly with granulated sugar, bits of but- ter, a few drops of lemon juice, and a little ground cinnamon and grated nutmeg. Then dust the whole light- ly' with a powdering of cracker crumbs. Put in more apples, and proceed as before. When the dish is full, have the top layer -of fine crumbs, (let thickly with bits of but- ter, and' bak-e for from half to three- quarters of an hour. Serve in the dish which it was baked,. with a hard sauce. Tomato and Tapioca soup. — A can of tomatoes, run through a sieve; a ten cent can of beef tea; half a cup of pearl tapioca, soaked two hours in a little cold water; two teaspoonfuls of onion juice; a tea- spoonful of white sugar; a salt - spoonful of salt; a teaspoonful of elippped sweet herbs, and paprika to taste. Put ingredients over the fire (leaving out the tapioca) to heat and bring slowly to the boil. Keep thie up for five minutes and stir in the soaked tapioca. Simmer five nainutes more and serve. Any good stock you happen to have raa.y be - substituted for the oanned soup to flavor the above.' Fruit Cake.—Oream together a cupful of sugar and half a cupful of butter. Add two eggs, a cupful of • molasses, and half a cupful of strong cold coffee in which dissolve a scant teaspoonful of baking soda. Three cupfuls of sifted flour, one cupful of raisins, figs, and dates cut fine and mixed; one cupful of washed and dried currants, a quar- ter pound of citron minced fine, a quarter pound of blanched and shredded almonds, and a teaspoon- ful of mixed pulverized cinnamon, cloves, mave, nutmeg, and ginger. Favor with the strained juice of a lemon. Bake in a moderate oven one hour in a mold or pan lined with buttered paper. This cake will keep sweet and soft for several months if put into a tin box with a, cover. Line the box with Waaed paper. Stuffed Pork Tenderloins.—Split pork tenderloins almost through; make a stuffing as for fowls, using bread crumbs, a seasoning of salt, pepper, a little thyme and grated onion and two tablespoonfuls of melteCI butter. Spread a thick layer of this over one of the loins and place the second on top of this ; tie firmly together in several places. Put a little butter or dripping in- to a frying pan and when it is hot, brown the meat nicely in it on all side. Then add two cupfuls of boiling water and cook over a slow fire for thirty 'minutes. The meat should be covered after adding the water. A little browned flour may he stirred in after the meat is taken out, arid this will make a delicious gravy. Cooking it in the frying pan saves the trouble of heating the oven when the meat is the only thing to be roasted for dinner. One has in this a good and economical dish. It is equally good sliced cold for luncheon. White Bread.—Chop into quart of wheat flour a tablespoonful of but- ter or other shortening, add a quart of lukewarm water, a, tablespoonful 'of sugar, and a half yeast cake dis- solved in a gill of lukewarm water. Beat hard for fifteen minutes, cover the sponge and see aside to rise for six hours (or until light) in a warm • room where it will not get chilled. Sift into another receptacle two quarts of flour sifted with a table- spoonful of salt. Make a hollow in the center of this flour and work in- to it gradually the risen sponge or batter. When the dough is just stiff enough to handle easily, transfer it to a floured board and knead for at least ten minutes. Cover and set to rise as before until twice its pre- sent size. When light, knead again for ten minutes, make into loaves, put these in pans, and set to rise for an hour, or until they are a third larger than at first. Be sure that the oven is at a good steady heat, put the leaves in cover with brown paper for the 'first three- quarters of an hour of baking. Then encover and brown for fifteen min- utes more. Hints to the Cook. • Care of the Stove. ---Before pol- ishing the stove, wash it with vine- gar. This removes all grease, leav- irg the surface smooth, and keeps the blacking from burning off so quickly, saving much time mid le- bor. A little sugar added te the blacking 7.8 a good thing to try. To Chow the Nickel en Stoves , t fliDd Ilanges.—Take 'woolen eiotn, wipe the soot from the bottom of the teakettle and with this rub the there is greese or ether dirt, !trot remove this with a damp ()loth rubbed well with soap. Wheu food burns, quickly seize the kettle or pan frora the range and ot into a larger pan eontain- ing old water, This will ause the :atom to escape from the outside, instead of passing upward through the food, li,ernove to another yea- ee1 and continue cooking; if care.ful not to disturb the burnt part there will be no taint or odor to be de- tected by the moat critical person. Salt sprinkled on any substanee burning on the stove will stop the Dolling lileat.—When boiling meat of any kind, add a tablespoonful of vinegar to the water when first put I over the fire, This make the meat I tender, without leaving any flavor 1 of the `vinegar. To Soften Tough Meat. -- Brush ever with oil (or butter) and vine- gar, using one part of viuegar to two parts of oil or butter, and let stand for a few hours. This is of- ten done in tropical countries. A little vinegar served in the platter with the steak adds to the flavor of tb.e meat. To Improve Griddle Cakes. — A teaspoonful of brown sugar or mo- lasses added, to the griddle cake batter makes it brown better and more easily. Substitute for Cream (good on fruit)—Beat together the whites of two egg, a level tablespoonful of sugar, tablespoonful of corn- starch and butter the size of a nut. Stir in one half cup of cold meat and beat very hard. Put a cup of cold milk over the fire ; when it boils draw the dish to a cooler part of the range and pour in the egg mixture. Simmer till the milk thickens and when cold strain. Care in Serving Food. Scrupulous neatness should al- ways be -observed in keeping, hand- ling and serving food. If ever cleanliness is des -ire -hie, it must be in the things WO eat, and every care should be taken to insure it for the sake of health as well as of so- ciety. Cleanliness in tlas connection means not only absence of visible dirt, but freedom from undesirable bacteria and other minute organ- isms, and from worms and other parasites. If food, raw or cooked, is kept itt dirty places, peddled from dirty carts, prepared in dirty rooms and in dirty dishes, or exposed to foul air, disease germs and other offensive and dangerous substances can easily get in. Food and drink may, in fact, be very dangerous purveyors of dis- ease. The bacteria of typhoid fev- er sometimes find their way into drinking water, and those of ty- phoid and scarlet fevers and diph- theria into milk, and bring sickness and death to large numbers of peo- ple. Oysters which are taken from t'he salt water where -they grow and "floated" for a short time in brack- ish water near ,the- mouth of a stream have been known to be in- fected by typhoid fever germs brought sinto the stream by the sew- age from houses. Celery or lettuce grown in soil containing typhoid germs has been thought to convey this disease. —d• TURKEY BETRAYED, IS STORY. Ring Ferdinand Bought Military • Secrets of 1nemy.

Amazed.—Perhaps at the sucklen- nessiOnd -opportuneness of his ap pearance. H. What question ye with them7 —The words are addressed to the multitude, the second pronoun re- ferring to the disciples. Jesus en- • tirely ignores the presence of the scribes. 17. Dumb—Speechless. A . . . spirit—Compare introduc- tory paragraph above. 18. Wheresoever it taketh him— The epileptic fits to which the boy I was subjeet were often of great vio- 1 lence and came upon him at unex- pected times and without warniug. They were not able—The inability of the disciples to effect a cure was evidently a sore disappointment to the distressed father. This disap- pointment is reflected in his words addressed to Jesus. 19. Answereth thera--The father of the afflicted boy had responded to the question of Jesus addressed to thes multitude, "What question ye with them 2" (the disciples). The man's eomplaint against the dis- ciples brings forth the exclamation of Jesus, 0 faithless generation how long shall I be -with you —Words referring apparently to the dis- ciples, whose lack of faith seems to have been the obstacle in the way of their performing a cure. • 20.

To destroy hirn—The violent seizures soraetimes took the form of suicidal frenzy. Certain customs in vogue at the present day, such as shaking hands or offering the- left arm to a lady are of eonside,rable antiquity. It is said that Phoenicians, introduced the former habit into Britain, and that upon the shores of Mounts Bay -many a bargain in tin between eas- tern nierchantand Cornishman was ratified by this method of clasping hands. Certain ether customs no less widely observed have come down to as from a later period, says the London Globe, and yet one suffi- ciently remote. In Mediaeval times he who shook hands, whether in sal- utation or as a defensive measure— retaining the setord hand, while some treaty was being arranged— must needs strip off • his steel gauntlet. So at the present time men pull off their right glove before shaking hands -with a lady. The wearing of glove or• gauntlet, indeed, at one period was something of a challenge in itself; thus no men wore gloves in the presence of royalty, an ab- sence which indicated also absence of hostile intent. Still a man offers a lady his left arm, a practice -which recalls times when escort was by no means solely a matter of politeness, but when, in order to guard against sudden attack, it was necessary to have the sword arm free. Still when a stranger calls for the first time, he sends in his card, partly, no doubt, in order that his name and pee/Able business may be made clear, but partly, also, be- cause in olden days he who desired entrance to palace of castle must send some token as warrant of peaceful intent.

You always eared more for your old pipe than you did for ine, But if thou oanst do anything— The man's faith in the ultimate recovery of his son had been se- verely tested. It, however, rises anew to meet the challenge of Jesus. 23. If thou canst !—The emphasis is on the pronoun. -Jesus takes up the father's own words and places the burden of responsibility upon him. The possibility of a cure hinges upon his ability to believe. All things are possible—The ques- tion of ability turns on the question of faith. In other words, Jesus would have the father realize the universal truth • that faith recogniz- es no insurmountable obstacles, no surrender to disappointing experi- ences. 24. Cried out, and said --Some ancient manuscripts add "with tears." The father realizes that the words of Jesus throw him back in the first instance upon himself and upon his own spiritual and mental attitude. toward the power of Jesus, the exercise of which he implores. Help thou my unbelief --True faith is not inconsistent with a con- sciousness of its own infirmity. • 25. A multitude came running to- gether—Out of idle curiosity, such as was always dietasteful to Jesus. He therefore hastens to heal the unfortunate lad, the last obstaele to whose cure had been removed with the strengthening of the fa- ther's faith. Come out of him, and enter no more into him—The second word of com.mand may well have been added for the father's sake, who, in view of the periodical nature of the ail- ment, might easily hair‘ been tempted to dieubt the permanency of the euro. 26.

Misfortunes Have Gomel° Proprie- tors of Mummy, Idol and Image. That certain things bring sure disaster to their owners is firmly believed in by many people. Take the ease of a Mr. Apperly, a young artist. A little over three years ago ho bought a, small West African idol or ju-ju. Before this, says Pearson's Weekly, for years in succession he had had his pictures hung in the Royal Academy. He has not had a, picture in the Aca- demy since he bought the idoL just after Mr. Apperly bought it his house was burgled and all his wife's jewellery stolen. A week or two later an outbreak of fixe ae- currech Next year his wile had a serious illne.ss, and the artist had a run of bad luele and disappoint- ment. Be loaned the "ju-ju" to a friend, who returned it hurriedly in a fortnight. During that time he lot heavily over a business deal, his wife, a most careful woman, scalded herself on two oecasions, his neigh - hers bought a puppy the day after the idol -came, and the result was a mob- stoned his windows in mistake for those of the puppy -owner. Fin- ally he had a severs attaek of rheu- matism. No wonder Ile Returned the Idol. Still more extraordinary was the ease of the mummy of the high priestess of Amen -Ra, now in the British Museum. This priestess be- longed to the royal family of Egypt. A party ef four young English- men secured the mummy about thirty years ago in Egypt. One of the young men was crippled before they left the country, and another was shot shortly before reaehieg England. A third died suddenly, and the fourth fellewed him after losing a large fottune. The sister ef the last hastily pre- eenteel the mummy to the museum.

Another ill -luck bringer that was thrown out of the house and given to the museum. was a carved teak- wood image ef Buddha. It was stolen from a Buddhist temple in Lower Burma by a sea. captain. When the ship carrying ib was near Liverpool a fire broke out on board. The crew threw the image overboard, believing the idol was responsible, and they reached port in safety. The image was washed ashore in • Wales and claimed by its owner, the captain. Soon afterwards he died. His daughter% kept the Buddha in their house for several years, dur- ing which time it gave rise to con- tinual trouble. Oeie of them died suddenly though perfectly healthy. Then it was given to the museum. An Indian idol is said to have been responsible for the assassina- tion of President Carnet of France. It belonged to one of the rulers of India, and there was a tradition that the idol bestowed power with one hand and Death With The Other. Ruler after ruler who possessed the idol was assassinated. When Great Britain conquered India the idol, 'then in the possession of a ra- jah, who lost his life fighting against the British, fell into humbler hands. It continued to bring evil fortune in its train, however, - Among its possessors who died suddenly before it reached Presi- dent Carnet were a major of British -cavalry, a Brahmin princess, a rich money lender and an old dealer in antiquities.
