Flag etiquette is, in fact, strict- ly observed by captains of vessels, fen by its means they are able to act in a courteous and polite man- ner towards one another when on the high seas. For instance, when two liners belonging to the same covners sight each other at sea they hoist flags immediately, and in pas- sing the junior captain always clips his ensign to the senior captain. Then, again, according to that nau- tical authority, the editor of the "Shipping Gazette," if two liners belonging to different owners pass each other at sea, and the captains happen to be acquainted, the mas- ter who realizes that he is the jun- ior invariably dips to the ether ship, TRAMP STEAMERS AND LINERS. LAND." The great names in history view- ed from this point of view are great rocks of safety, refreshment and inspiration in a toiling, struggling world, Serene and immovable, like giant peaks, they live their lives in a higher atmosphere, in the midst of petty, self-seeking, mean, ambi- eious and cringing selfishness of their day. In their presence moral distinctions, which in the hazy at- mosphere in which most of us live become obscure and bluuted, grow clear and plain. Tho grace of God can make us rocks of influence in the midst of circles in which we live. Consider St. Peter, the "man of rock," whose name Simon was changed to Peter (which in the Greek means rock). Originally vacillating, un- stable and impulsive in disposi. tion, Christ saw in him qualities that were noble and rocklike and rained him what through his grace he would become, Peter, the "man el rock." So with all of us. We can overcome faults and failings in our lives ; there can be developed in use new graces and virtues un- known to us, so that standing four square and immovable is the midst el the untoward infleences of this world, we, too, may be rocks of re- fuge, encouragement And inspira- tion, casting a shadow of blessed influence upon multitudes in this weary world.

See Lesson 11I. of this Quarter. Three mis- sionaries had come there from Philippi, two of them torn and bruised by terrible flagellation at Philippi, emerging :'rom the lowest dungeon of a prison, their whole aspect bespeaking "their poverty, their sufferings, their earthly in- significance. A famine, says Farrar, "was raging in the Roman empire, and the commonest necessaries of life had risen to six times their proper value." These poor per- secuted wanderers supported them- selves by weaving black goat's hair into tent cloth. Here they preached a few weeks, founded a church, and were driven away by persecution. 2. Paul longed to visit them again, and made three vain at- tempts to do so, from Berera, from Athens, from Corinth. He felt their need of training and of more knowledge of the truth, of comfort, of guidance. 3. Timothy had just come back from Thossaltnica, and had brought a report concerning the church, giving a favorable account in gen- era), But two facts were made known by him. On was that they were suffering severe persecutions from both Jews and Gentiles; the other that they were discouraged and frenblcd by the death of some b. fn, e the scams' conning of the Lord Jesus. 4. The Epistle is very personal and i eeospertive breathing a spirit great, and noble, and practical 1 The same is true of life. Every young person should know definite- ly and decidedly where be wants to go, what he wants to become, what is his ideal. 23. And the very God of peace. [letter as R.V., "the God of peace himself," the God who brings peace—peace with himself, through sins forgiven, and natures in har- mony with his; peace in the soul, peace of conscience, the peace of trust in God our Father; peace of righteousness, for it is only when righteousness is "as the waves of the sea" that "peace can flow like a river" ; peace with nature and providence; peace with our fellow- men.

So mach when you are in- clined to look upon gelatin as only a "luny food used for decorative you oan that r remember t c eros u P , p well afford to serve . it. Aspio is gelatin' made of the meat stock, One oan make a great variety of vegetable aspics. Boil the vege- tablee (bno or several), as carrots, beets, celery, peas, string and lima beaus, aapara,gus, and when cold out diem into dice, slices, or fancy shapes. They can be arranged' in layers and covered with the aspic, letting eaeh layer hardeu e little before arranging the next, When covered with the aspic set away to harden. Chicken, tongue, and other meat aspics are delicious.' With a little experiment, one can become expert in decorating a mold with designs of hard boiled eggs and vegetables, arranging the slices of chicken or meat attractively and covered with the aspic, so the dish will come on the cable exceedingly pretty. Leftover Meats Attractively Served.—When one has just a few shoes each of chicken, ham,,and tongue, and wishes to serve these, an attractive dish can be made by garnishing the platter with little equates or molds or aspic hard boil- ed eggs, shoes of beet pickle, and a border of parsley or cress. Every- thing here is good;and nutritious. Aspic dishes are just as suitable for the company luncheon and Sunday night supper as they are for the family meal. Since the stock, which is made by boiling the bones and lest desirable pieces of meat, and the gelatin used—if thickening is necessary—are inexpensive, aspic dishes are to be prepared the even- ing before or early in the morning and set in the ice box to cool. Witlt one "hearty" vegetable, at baked stuffed potato or escalloped corn, a vegetable salad, and fresh fruit, a meal is satisfying and easily pre - peed. Cold boiled fish are delicious when covered with jellied Mayon naise and decorated with one of these: Pickles, beets, hard boiled eggs, capers, water cress; nastur- tiums ms, lemon points, and so on. One formula Inc jellied mayon- naise for fish is: Add one and one half tablespoonfuls of gelatin which has been soaked for an hour and a half to a cupful of clear beef or chicken stock which has been heated. When this has cooled, stir into it a half cupful of olive oil, a tablespoonful of vinegar or lemon juice, salt, pepper, and the beaten yolk of an egg. SEASONABLE SALADS. Cabbage Salad.—Take the ' ten- der white center from a head of cab- bage. Shred fine and crisp in ice water. Make a cooked dressing of three egg yolks, three tablespoon- fuls of butter, five of tarragon vine- gar, one teasr��rn,onful of grated horse -radish arAthe same amount of mixed mustard and a good pinch of salt. Cook over hot water until ereannery; when cold add an equal portion of whipped cream and stir through one pint of the shredded cabbage well drained, one cupful of chopped peanuts, and half a cupful of diced pickled beats. Fill the cabbage shell and garnish with celery plumes and circles of beets. Sally Joy Brown Salad.—Ingredi- ants—One largo head of lettuce, two small grape rruit, one-quarter of a pound of shelled pecans, one- quarter of a pound of black wal- nuts. Take outer leaves from let- tuce head and place whole under cold water faneet drip until leaves are all thoroughly washed and opened. Divide the grape fruit into its natural sections carefully. With a sharp knife a alit seed side of each section and burn contents inside out. This method retains sections whole and conserves juices. Run nuts through meat grinder, finely set. Arrange grape fruit sections into open lettuce petals, and sprinkle ground nuts over all liber- ally. Set on ice until thoroughly chilled and serve with following dressing: One teaspoonful of salt; one teaspoonful of paprika, a dash of black pepper, one-half cupful of green olive oil, one-half cupful of vinegar, one-half cupful of Italian vermouth, Mix salt, pepper, pap- rika, and oil until smooth; add vinegar and vermouth and shake un- til thoroughly blended. other substances which would them - COLD DISHES FOR WAII1VI DAYS Emancipation from ;serving hot, Ilkley meals should bo the house. wife's declaration Of independence during the summer months.. If her fancily has not 'yet leaeued that ,summer should be mother's vaca- tion time, too, let them begin "lee - sons et once, When possible it is good to follow the custom of women in smaller towns and serve the hot meal ee noon, and a cold suppose generally with creamed potatoes and tea biscuits as the bot "dish. Cold sliced meat, salted, and fresh fruit complete this sensible menu. Many housewives have their famil- ies trained to eat cold rice or mush and rnlik,•ar merely a dish of berries or other fresh fruit and cake for the evening meal. This plan is more difficult for the city or suburban housewife, whose men folks eat a hasty luncheon at noon and depend on a hearty dinner at night. Many Women ro induce their husbands to take a. chop or steak with their noon meal and eat lighter food at night, Some allow for this extra heavy meal at noon out of the household allowance, so the hus- sbiandve. s cannot object on account of the heavy meal being too expen- The cliches which custom has made us serve hot, but which can be served cold and made just as tasty, are legion. It is popular and sen- sible to substitute fresh fruits for a first course instead of hot soup— fresh berries, mixture of fruits sweetened and kept on ice for an hour or two before serving, pine- apple, orange, banana, and melons. With a big spoon "eggs" may be scooped from the pink pulp of the watermelon. The effect of those pink eggs on a bed'of ice or grape leaves, as a first course, with pink flowers in the center of the table, is pretty. Colcl Soups Thickened with Gola- tin.—When you get the habit of serving cold soups you will never set a dish of hot soup before your family in dog days. The colcl soups are really aspic, made of soup stock and vegetables, just as you make any soup and thickened with enough gelatin to give them the proper con- sistency. Cold soup is served in cups. Chicken comes first in popu- larity, then tomato, then beef stock. Of coarse in preparing soup to be served you must be particular to have it well seasoned, for you wish your family to like it instantly. Parsley, celery, and bay leaves give chicken soup a good flavor, and a bit of red pepper adds piquancy. Red pepper is used to excess in hot countries to stimulate the stomach and liver, but a bit used occasion- ally is an addition to any dish and not necessarily overstimulating. The water in which vegetables are boiled and the creamed vegetables left over may be converted into sum- mer soups, croatn soups, by the ad- dition of milk and soup stock thick- ened. - When the vegetables are used, as spinach, celery, asparagus, peas, beans, or any vegetable pulp, it is first boiled until tender, then rub- bed through a fine sieve and added to the milk and soup stock in the proportion of two cupfuls of vege- table pulp to one quart of soup stock or milk, or hall stock and half inilk. Sante Rule Applies to All.—By using this rule for cream of spin- ach, soup can be made from any vegetables. Boil the spinach until tender, drain, chop, and rub ut through a sieve. .Add two cupfuls of the pulp to one quart of milk or stock or hall parts of each, Put on the fire and thicken with one table- spoonful of buttei and two table- spoonfuls of flour. Season with salt and pepper. It is mare richer by adding a half cupful of cream and beaten with an egg whip. Cream of tomato is one of the popular summer soups. The tomato and the milk aro heated separately, the latter be- ing cooked and strained. A bit, of soda is added to the tomato and it is stirred into the milk, not vice verse, Season with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. City house- wives buy the tomato soup in cans and snake cream of tomato with that. This soup served in cupswith whipped cream and an English wale nut on top is a dainty first course at luncheon. Onion song is popular with the French and Italians. To prepare this put two ounces of but- ter in a saucepan and when melted add a tablespoonful of flour, stir and when it begins to turn yellow, add four or five anions sliced. Stir until fried, add one quart of broth and let boil about fifteen minutes, Mash through a colander, put bock on the fire, give one boil, salt and pepper to taste. Ilave a slice of bend or bits of toasted bread (croutons) in the soup tureen, Italians serve grated cheese with onion soap. This is the national soup. Gelatin the Summer Ally.—Gola- tin is the housewife's best ally in summer. Ty Dec ai<I she can evolve delicious cold dishes. Scientists do not understand jest, what part gels. In the ease of a British liner sighting a foreign liner there is no definite practice, but, as a rule, the commanders of foreign liners courteously dip to any large Brit- ish liner they meet on the high seas. tt is just a matter of courtesy, and often the commander of a British vessel will run up his ensign first. A certain code of etiquette ex- ists, too, between the tramp steam- er and the liner. If a tramp steam- er approaches a liner, it is not cus- tomary for. the latter to hoist her flags unless the tramp takes the first step. Then, as soon as it is seen that the cargo boat has 'boist- eel her flags, the liner responds. Mail and passenger liners, for in- stance, when passing aloug the coast of Portugal, may sight dozens :f cargo steamers, and, naturally enough, will not show their flags unless the tramp does first. But if a dozen or more cargo boats hoist- ed their flags to the liner, the let- ter would be expected to acknow- ledge then. INTERNATIONAL SIGNALLING. In the case of mon-o'-war, all merchant ships, tramps, or liners dip their ensign, whether British eat foreign. Signalling between British warships and merchant ships has received a good deal of attention during recent years, and both naval officers and mercantile officers welcome an opportunity of signalling to each other. In fact, commanders of liners rarely sight men -o' -war at sea that do not have their colors flying as soon as the liner is in sight. It is nearly half a century ago since the system of sea signalling called the "International Cocle of Signals" was compiled in conse- quence of action taken by the Brit- ish Board of Trade, and adopted by nearly all the commercial na- tions of the world. The system con- sists of eighteen flags and a code pennant. In using and interpreting these signals it is, of course, nec- essary to be in possession of the signal -code book, in which the meanings attached to the flags and combinations of the flags are print- ed. Each nation, however, prints its own copy of the signal book in its own language, and thus two ships totally ignorant of each other's language may converse by means of these flags. fatherly spirit breathes in every lino." .+i. If it seems strange that such a letter could be written to e church founded by Paul Ioss than a year before, implying "the wonderful maturity of this infant church, when we compare it with the slow progress of modern missions we must remember that the first churn members were Jews and re- ligious proselytes, long trained in the religion of the true God," Morcnver, many of the Greeks were relt.ivated and thoughtful people, stem through the gospel had been enlightened by f:ha Holy Spirit.

Like iudividuals, the nations of the earth have nicknames. Some are appropriate, some are not. Englishmen, for instance, are called "John Bull." That's all right, because they have "the pluck of the brute.' A Scotsman is "Sandy" ; an Oirishnan "Pad- dy" ---from his national patron saint St. Patrick ; while an ancient nur- sery rhyme proclaims that "Taffy was a Welshman." The French- man calls himself "Jacques Bon; homme"—Good Fellow; and Cou- sin Michel is the nickname by which the German is known to Continent- al nations; Mynbeer Closh--nn ab- breviation of Nicholas—is the name applied to Hollanders; the Switzer rejoices in the appellation of Colin Tampon, And we all know Uncle Sam, SURE ENOUGH.

Presented by a Traveller to the Landon Zoo. Bryan Leighton, who has just re- turned to England from the High- lands • of Colombia, brought with him and presented to the London Zoo a bird -catching spider. He says of it: "The spider lives in holes in the ground or in trees, and cap- tures its victims by springing on them. Besides birds, it eats the smaller mammals, and has been known to attack and kill a scorpion. The specimen I have just present- ed to the Zoo is, I believe, the first of its kind to be brought alive to BRILLIANT PROCESSION.
