8101,91DES IN GERMANY.
,- Bos nd Girls Ending Their Lives
Opens a Problem,
recent euicide of a schoolboy
16 years at Frankfort -on -the-
in, coming after a aeries of such
ragedies, has once more raised the
question •of school examinations
and the too strenuous -upbringing of
youthful Germany.
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.
Still another cause xria,y be seen in
the precocious reading of philoso-
phy, which seems to have as strong
a hold icon young Germans in some
quarters as the "penny dreacIfuls"
in other countries.

Dainty Dishes.
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.

Has Turkey been sold? The fol-

Contsantinople to such effect that

multitude, the second pronoun re-

scribes.

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.

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.
This token was, perhaps, a ring
or some jewel known to the lord of
the castle, which would serve as a
guarantee for the sincerity of its
bearer. In a less artistic age the

tents himself with a slip of paste-
board whereon his name is printed

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.

ILL LUCK WITH POSSESSION
CERTAIN 'THINGS BRING DIS-
A.STER TO THE OWNERS.
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.
