To Cook Bananas.—Few persons
realize the betteficial and nourish-
ing qualities of this fruit. As it dis-
agrees with same people, it has most
unjust13,- been conderaned as indi-
gestible and unwholesome. It is
the staple food of the South Ameri-
cans, however, and is given to their
babies as frequently as our hungry
yc,ungsters are given slices of bread
and butter. Bananas, if they are
unripe, may be used with advant-
age as a vegetable. Cut the fruit
in halves stew it for 25 minutes in
just a little -water, drain, cover with
a cream sauce such as you use for
cauliflower, and serve hot. The
ripe, fruit is a delicious garni,sh to
meat. Cut round slices from ripe
firm bananas, fry them -in butter,
and lay a few on the top and round

OARING FOR VEGETABLES.
If deteriorated vegetables are
brought into the kitehen no method
el handling will restore them to
firsleclass condition. Even good
clues will eot be at their best, un-
less they are properly eared for af-
ter being received.
It is, of course, useless to wash
then) with water which is itself
dangerous, and in any case where
the water supply is not considered
fe for drinking, boded water
6shaould be used for washing vege-
tables and fruit after the first
rough dirt has been renewed by hy-
drant water.
As to the method of washing ve-
getables, a few cautions are M or-
der. Sonic people never choose as-
paragus at table, unless it has been
prepared by some ohe who is care-
ful, as they do not wish to bite
down on sand, for the cleaning of
this vegetable requires conscience
as Well as care.
The bunch should be placed heads
down, in water for some 'hours, and
should be shaken bdck and forth to
diskdge the particles of earth.
Spinach is another vegetable
which requires the best cleansing to
free it from grit. After the roots
have been cut off it should be wash-
ed.in a number of waters and lifted
out of the pan each time in loose
handfuls before the water has been
drained off.
Celery and lettuce and other sal-
ad plants, because eaten raw, must
be washed with great care. They
should be searched leaf bY leaf for
insect life, washed in several wat-
ers and then wiped dry with a clean
cloth and put in a cold place to be-
come crisp. Otherwise, don't eat
A GRIM PROVISO.
A curious occupablon has sprung
up in Paris. Several doctors have
received a circular from a newly.
formed agency, which offers to find
patients for them. The fees are ra-
ther high. They vary from $20 to
$100. On receipt of the fee the
doctor is assured a list of 20 con-
sumptives, 20 epileptics, 20 people
suffering from cancer, and so forth.
He is then at liberty to call and
offer his services. The agency's cir-
cular declares that the lists of pa-
tients are -compiled from absolute-
ly certain sources and that the mon-
ey will be returned if there are
more than three mistakes in each
list This is rather a grim proviio

The sabbath day—The ,ventl
day, which was the Jewish Sabbath
The Outage of the Sabbath day frail
the seventh to the first day a
week did not collie about until afte
the resurreetton. It was essentiall
a Christian Sabbath, or "Lord's
Day" (Rev. 1. 10), After the resur-
rection the disciples began the elts-
tom of meeting each first day of the
week, itself the day of the resur-
rection, to celebrate that even
which to the disciplee was the great-
est of all Christian events. Natural-
ly the day itself became the great-
est of all Christian days, so that
gradually the observance of the sev-
enth day was abandoned, and that
of the first day became a fixed cus-
gtood up to read—The Law and
the ProphetS were read standing.
The reading was done by any or-
dinary member of the congregation,
even by boys under age.
Delivered unto him—I3y the haz-
zan, or attendant, verse 20.

17. The book—Or, roll. The reed-
ing of the roll necessitated the use
of both hands, the right unrolling,
and the left rolling up the parch-
ment. At the conclusion of the
readinn. the document was re -rolled
and thtsus made ready for use again.
This was done by "holding th,e roll
beneath the chin and turning with
both hands."
Found the place—Isaiah 61. 1, 2
and 58. 6. Possibly his own selec-
tion, but more likely the lesson
which the Jewish lectionary pre-
scribed for the day. It referred to
the future deliverance of the He-
brew exiles from Babylon "by the
Righteous Servant of Jehovah.
Jesus represents the prophecy to be
fulfilled in himself as Saviour.
18. Spirit of the Lord—Realized
by Jesus at his baptism. In Isaiah
these words aro spoken by the
Righteous Servant of Jehovah,
whom Jesus identifies with himself.
Anointed—A figure taken from
the practice of anointing kings and
prophets as they enter their respec-
tive offices, and smybolizing divine
appointment and authority.
Good tidings—Or, the gospel.
Proclaim release — The original
reference to the Babylonian aelles
is given a spiritual significance. It

tionalisna and legalism of the

CJIARTING THE
Mapping the Cameos of an Un-
known Ocean.
Just as once the adventurous
navigators of the high seas were
confront -ed with the ntysteries of
ocean tides tind currents, the avia-
tor is busy to -day studying the
more subtle problems of air cur-
rents. Some of the problems of
navigation this newly discovered
ocean are graphically set forth in
the Pall Mall Magazine in an arti-
cle on "The Highway of the Air."
"It is necessary that the air
should be studied, understockl, and
charted like the ocean," declares
the author, "and for immediate
purposes we must know chiefly the
lower atmosphere, the five or six
miles of it wherein aircraft travel.
Workaday flying and dirigible bal-
looning are carried on irt the first
6,000 feet of the atmosphere.
"During the past few years closer
attention has been given to the reg-
ular eurrents of tho atmosphere,
with a view particularly to aerial
navigation. The main Oerman a,ir
currents are now known and chart-
ed, and use of this knowledge is
constantly made by aeroplanists

ledge of these currents.

1,0\ D ON CITY OF LOST WOMEN
Over 1,000' Young 'Girls 3lissing in
Twelve Months.
London, England, is fast acquir-
inn. the reputation of being the eity
of°1ost women. Amazing statistics
in regard to the latter have just
been published by the Home Office,
but while these statistics are mea-
surably modified b3r the number of
lost women successfully traced by
the police, eertain papers maintain
that the statistins laok detail as
they do not furnish data concern-
ing the missing ones. Such as
natienality, circumstances of life,
etc,, or reveal in what circum-
stances those "traced" were found,
by NVItieh projects of law might be
drawn, if necessary, in order to
suppress the evil. But, be tha,t as
it may, here is the note issneci by
the, Home Office on -the subject:
"During the last twelve months
1,118 girls, between the ages of ten
and sixteen, were reported to the
Metropolitan Police, as missing. Of
these 1,102 were traced.
"Two thousand six hundred and
seventy-six women of all ages above
sixteen were reported as missing,
and 2,540 of them were t,raced.
"ln the case of the sixteen girls
and one hundred and thirty svo-
men who were not traced, their a,b-
