WISDOM AND MODERATION. That the Pauline idea? Eci, my friend, you arc wrong. When Paul said, "Let your moderation be known linto all ineu," he Was not, .111 Bishop Villiers once expressed it, "allieling to the gratification of our desires generally, but especially tem- pertince or self restraint in our re- lation to others, in our abstinence front anger and harshuess and venge- ance." Ile is saying, es the revised version translates the sentence, "Lot your forbearance or gentleness be known unto all men." To -day in - steed of preaching upon what you should eat and drink and wherewith you be clothed and how much exer- cise you should take I shall preach upon how you should smile and tall: and shako hands and forgive and lova, This sermonic theme is not how we should live, but how NVO should be willing to let others live. - Be patient, in the first place, even. with the irritating idiosyncrasiles and the offensive mannerisms that are found in ahnost every one with NVI10111 NVe come in contact. Be pa- tient with their peculiarities, especi- ally if they aro nonessentials in ref- erence to the honesty and noble char- acteristics of a man. 33e patient especially because wrong types of marked individuality, if harnessed in the right way, will often meen great success for us and for those whom it Is our privilege to influence, 1311 LENIENT WITII TITIl WEAK.

No Doors or Passages in a Typi- cal Dwelling. A Japanese house consists in the main of a post at each corner and a 14001. Tbe roof may or may not be covered Avith heavy channeled purpl- ish tiles—it makes little difference in the ion run whether It is or is not. for if it is not tiled the first typhoon that comes along reMOVeS it into somebody's garden anything' up to a quarter of a mile away, and if it is tiled heavily 'enough to resist the typhoon so much the worse for the' people unkiereetith it when the first genuine earthqUalte arrieces. But the odds are that it will be hunted down before either happens, as the 010,1010)050 1150 v.ory . cheap lamps and very fiery petio- leom and aro regular chil- dren about fires. Of coarse, some- thing else Is done to the four posts and the roof before they become a house In which births. marriages ancl deaths can take place. But really rommecably little 18 newswire,. Cross beams are naturally added to sup- port the weight of the roof, grooves axe made in the cross beams and in the platform raised a foot or two above the ground which conetitutes the floor. A. Japanese house is all on one floor genorally—in fact, 0210 might Say it is all one floor. Be- tween the grooves in the floor and the grooves in the ceoss beams are run shutters with paper panels to divide the houses into whatever number of rooms the owner ina,y choose, which depend:4 on the num- ber of bedrooms he may veggie°. Thoro are (10 doors or pose:Ages in a typical Japanese house.

Mix one-queuter cup of mild grated cheese and once! quarter cup of Roquefort cheese and male to a. paste. Stir in one-emlf lovel teaspoon of paprika and four tablespoons of cream. Beat sinoothi and the mixture will spread evenly between thin slices of white or gra- baan breo.d. Cream Puffs.—Almost every ope likes the delicate little calos known ris puffs or eclairs, but almost every one imagines that they are too din - cult for an amatear cook to at- tempt. Directions given for them in the reCip0 books ueually are for a great number, and sound like pro- fessional work. But the fo lowing makes a couple of dozen of small puffs, which may be baked in gem pans and then filled with whipped cream, custard or whatever is desir- ed. Boil together for one moment one cup of water, one -110.11 cup of butter and one clap of flour. Set away to cool, and then stir in, one ati a time, three eggs not beaten. Drop into the greased pans and bake. Surely there is 210 easder cake to make than this, and 210710 altrer to "turn put well." After baking, which most be done in a steady Oven, let Clain cool, oft a slot in tho side, and insert the filling as fancied.
