generally used and the stems and
leaves are found so disagreeable in

venting this is to steep a table-

Orange Flavored Tosyls.—The
Virginian housewife is famous for
her savory roast duck. This is due
to the orange flavor combined
with it, for she, instead of using
onion in her dressing, as is else-
where done, roasts one large or
several small oranges in the body
of the duck. The orangea are
washed and put in whole without
being peeled, then the dressing is
added. This plan may be adopted
with turkey and chicken with ex-
cellent results.
Individual Oyster Pie.—For each
pie take. a tin plate half the size
of an ordinary dinner plate, butter
it and cover the bottom with a puff
paste as for pies, lay in fire or six
select oysters, or enough to cover
the bottom, butter them and sea-

Shonla Not Allhw Her ilfi'retion to

Self-relianoc•is to -day recogniz-
ree as one of the greatest assets of
any young mean or young women.
JY gives them the confidence to do
things, to get there, to overcome
obstaolea in their way, while an-
other may be whining about hard
hick.
.And yet there aro many mothers
to -day who kill that self-reliance in
their children. They allow their af-
fection to persuade them into doing
things for the youngsters which the
latter should learn to do themselves
at the earnest possible ago. To
quote an everyday remark, "They
wait on therm hand and foot," rho
consequence being more often than
not that the youngsters grow up
selfish and inconsiderate,
The greatest injury la mother can
de to her son—or daughter Dither,
for the matter of that—is to allow
her affection for them to overrule
her eomtnon,sense. She must not
commit the error of tolerating their
bad hibits because she is so fond
of them. With the boy, these must
be eradicated while the child is
young and puny, at the same time
teaching him his proper positron ;
otherwise he will learn to respect
no one, and probably turn round
in later years and blame his mother
for her lax methods in bringing him
up.
There is also a certain type of
mother who seems to think her
daughter is always a child. Poor;
crushed creatures these young wo-
men are. They are not allowed to
choose their friends. The mother
sees to that, and the consequence
is that the girls are probably made
to consort with companions with
whom they have no taste in com-
mon. Such girls are taught to re-
gard all members of the opposite
eex with suspicion. The conse-
quence is that as the years go by
they find themselves being left on
the shelf on account of the fact
that prospective husbands have
been frightened away.
It is not suggested for a moment
that there should not be any safe-
guard, but there is a great deal
of difference between safeguarding
a, daughter in a proper manner and
absolutely refusing hot pleasures
of her own choosing. To deny a
girl the right to select a friend or
mix with members of the opposite'
sox, for instance, is extremely fool-
ish. How can any girl develop
mentally if she is not allowed to act
a little for herself ? The individual
bent of mind is stunted,: and one
can only expect the girl to -grow up
a sickly type of womanhood.
INTELLIGENCE OF THE FOX.

and False Dangers.
The intelligence of the fox is of.
ten shown by the way he refuses
to be headed when ho has made up
his mind as to the safe course to
take, says the London Globe. The
West Somerset have an excellent
fixture at Kilve, but it has one
drawback—the sea is not far off,
and foxes naturally often make for
the cliffs, a secure refuge. A fox
can be easily headed at times, but
that is nearly always when to be
seen would betray him to his ene-
mies the hounds -and give them an
advantage ; but when if he makes
his point the advantage is on his
side, then nothing will turn him.
To return to 'the West Somerset
at Kilve; they found a fox, and
time whipperin, seeing that the fox
meant to go to the cliffs if possible,
started to head him off. The ground
was open, and for half a mile' tee
whipperin and fox were taking par-
allel lines, the fox clearly meaning
to slip by and find a refuge in the
cliffs. The men turned the fox away
at last, but in a short time the
hounds lost him, and I believe he
got back after all.
Again the master ranged up some
of the field to prevent another fox
going back into a certain covert.

SIMPLE PLANS FOR REVIEW.
Our task to -day is to review in
an instructive manner the eleven
lessons • of the Fourth Quarter of
1909. We can hardly do this, how-
ever, without recalling their rela-
tion to the lessons of the+first, Sec-
ond and Third Quarters.
Our Fest Quarter's lessons
brought to our attention most of
the pivotal facts of the historyof
the infant church before the con-
version of Saul, and his ordination
as Paul the apostle to the Gentiles,
had opened the way for general
obedience to our Lord's command,
"Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every crea-
ture." The Golden Text of this
First Quarter, "They that .wore
scattered abroad went everywhere
preaching the word," is well .illus-
trated by the descent of the Holy
Spirit, .the; imprisonment of the
apostles, the martyrdom of Steph-
en, the introduction of the gospel
into Samaria, the stories of Philip
and the Ethiopian and of Aeneas
and Deices. The teacher cannot,
on this Sunday, well afford much
time to the First Quarter, but if its
general course can bo quickly re-
called to the minds of the pupils, it
will be of advantage as a founda-
tion for our lesson to -day.
Recall the Golden Text for the
Second Quarter, "With great pow-
er gave the apostles witness of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus"-
a statement which is well illustrat-
ed by the stories of. Peter's activi-
ties of the conversion of Saul of
Paul's first missionary journey and
the council at Jerusalem.
"So mightily growthe word of
God and prevailed". is the text
which unites in one of the series of
the Third Quarter. Paul is the
chief hero of them all. We com-
press his second missionary journey
into five lessons andhis third mis-
sionary journey into four.,,
Our Fourth .Quarter's lessons,
which we review to -day, begin with
the arrest of Paul (Lesson L) and
comprise the chief events of his icn-
prisommnent• the plot to kill him
(Lesson 'IL), his defense before
Governor Felix (Lesson III.) and
before Festus and Agrippa (Lesson.
IV.) -all. studied in October; the
voyage (Lesson V.), the shipwreck
(Lesson VI.), Paul's arrival in.
Rome (Lesson. VII.), his owe story
of his life (Lesson VIII.), his teach-
ings on •self-denial (Lesson IX.)—
all studied in November; and two
lessons studied in December ;. Paul
un the Grace of Giving (Lesson X.),
and Paul's .Last Words (Lesson
XI.) 'To -day's Review stand's as
Lesson XII., and Lesson XIII. as
a Christmas lesson. •
As we look. back over the eleven
lessons eve have already studied
the" fall naturally ..into three
lsous, of, oyes? end two and . two
essons resjieotively, me follows:
Lessons L-vrt, Paul a prisoner;
tenons TX. and X.. Paul's doc-
trines on self-donial and the grace
of giving; and Lessons VIII, and
EL, his own story of hie life, and
his last words.
Any niothod is good that will call
up with distinctness the scenes of
these lessons, but be sure that they
aro tied together In the minds of
the pupils by the thought of our
Golden Text, "I have fought a.
good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith."
A survey of the dates, and especi-
ally a survey of the geography* of
the lessons, is necessary toan in-
telligent review. It should not be
difficult for any teacher to interest
his class in tracing the journey of
Paul as a prisoner from Jerusalem
to Rome.
Show how the teachings of Les-
sons IX., X., and XI. are especi-
ally characteristic of Paul. As lies
been suggested' elsewhere, an in
eerosted class will derive profit from
a tabular, review made out in part'
during the session. Let a wide
sheet of paper be given to each pn-
nil, ;and memoranda of the lessons
be made during the lesson hour.
On the other hand, we should nev-
er forget that a successful review.
must always be begun beforehand,
Slips may be given to the pupils,.
or postal cards sent them, with
blanks for them to fill in.
FARM NOTES.
He who sells butter at common
prices made from milk produced
from common cows fed the common
way, will never rise to comfortable
circumstances, but lead a hard life
of toil all his days.
Begin shoring in time to be well
through with eveiything before
dark. • Many barns have been
burned -by neglect of this simple
rule. The farmer is entitled to his
evenings, and the hired plan will do
better work if he knows he is not
is bo kept until dark before be-
ginning to do chores.
11 does' not seem to be a good
practice to crpiyd.things on an un-
willing market. People get in the
habit of paying little for their sup-
plies, and it is all the harder after
awhile to get prices dip again. Bet-
ter let a lot of stuff go to waste,
rot on the ground or feed itto pigs
and other stock than demoralize the
market by flooding it with a lot of
stuff. to be sold at any price, even
below cost of production.
At the North Dakota 'experiment
station they made a trial for nine
months of the comparative value
of feeding oats and barley to three
horses and two mules. • In every
case of animals working in pairs
at the same work, the opo given
barley made less gain' or lost more
flesh, according to the work they
wore doing. When changed about,.
the result was the same. The one
that gained flesh on oats lost it on
barley. Beside this, if the barley
feed was continued long, the ani-
mal that had it would refuse to oat'
the barley, sometimes for several
.meals. The rough fodder was the
same, good timothy hay in all oases.
They, therefore, decided that bai-
ley was not as valuable food for
horses as oats' when fed in equal
weights.

BOMBS MAY MISCARRY.
Political criminals have learned
that the bomb is not nearly so reli-
able as the gum and assassination
by bomb, in a majority of cases, has
entirely failed. King Alfonso of
Spain has had two bombs thrown
at Ldps, and in a similar way the
deposed Sultan of Turkey escaped
without the slightest injury. Even
the very best infernal machines may
miscarry; hence such death -deal-
ing articles are out of favor with
assassins.
It was by pistol that the attempt
was made to kill our own Ring on
April 4th, 1900, by the Belgian Au-
arcliist Sipido. The miscreant fixed
at the Prince of Wales, as he was
then, just as the Royal train was
leaving the Nord Station, Brussels,
'on its way to Denmark_
ROYALTY AND BUILDINGS.
The numerous bomb outrages in
England made by the Irish dynami-
tards when they attempted to blow
up the Tower, the 'Houses of Par-
liament, the Nelson Column, and
other public properties were prac-
tically failures, as were all the
other attempts made at the time in
different parts of the country. Tho
last bomb outrage in England simp-
ly resulted in the Nihilist annihil-
ating himself near rho Greenwich
Observatory.
' It is the 'Russian Royal Family
which has been most marked out by
Anarchists. In 1880 an attempt was
made to wipe oat the whole of the
Royal Family, a cellar underneath
the Royal dining -room 6f the Win-
ter 'Palace, St, Petersburg, being
filled with 124 pounds of dynamite.
The explosion took place a few min-
utes.boo soon,' as the Loyast amily
were not in the room at the seime.
In this case the Royal dining-i•ooM
was not injured much, although
other portions of the palace were
blown to 'atoms, ten persons being
killed and fifty-three injured.
LAYING A MINE.
Some years ago an exceedingly
ingenious scheme to assassinate the
present Czar came to naught. It
was. known that the Czar and
Czarina would pass down the a ovy
Si'iat, Warsaw, at a given time: on
their way to the Royal Castle, and
the Anarchists made their prepara-
tions accordingly. They undermin-
e] a portion of the street, under
Which they laid dynamite bombs
whieh were connected with an elec-
tric battery at a. considerable dis-
tance from the place. A few hours
before the Royal procession start-
ed the excavated portions began to
fall in, and some masons communi-
cated with the authorities, A num-
ber of Anarchists were captured
in the mine itself, while over 100
persons were arrested in the town.
It 1902 a daring • .attempt -.was
made upon the life of the Czar and
the Kaiser while they were lunching
together on board the Royal yacht
Hohenzollern, when off Reval.: A
steam .launch canoe up, from which.
stepped a man who was attired in
tbe Russian uniform.
The imposttu•e was found out im-
mediately, however, and the would-
be assassin was arrested with a re-
volver in his hand. It wvas discov-
ered in this,, ease'tbat tido plot was

THE EXCEPTION,
In is home where the mother is
somewhat aggressive and the father
good-natured and peace-lovieg, a
child's estimate of home conditions
were tersely' expressed the other
day. While dressing, the toolbar

shoos and said, "I certainly ani
cries, oh 'shoes, I have worn theca
for four months. I don't lame:
what yon wonld do, John, if 1 wort
not. I am easy on everything."
Tho little girl looked up from her
dolls and remarked, "Except fa-
ther."
