Jewish law required that all leavened bread and calces should be removed from the tonne during the period of the Pass- over. The first day was the 14th of the month Nisan, and evetnld have been the same as Thursday, April the sixth, of the year 30 A.D. Jesus had, evidently, secret disciples in Jerusalem, and not even the twelve who were with Him knew where He purposed to eat the Passover supper. It (nay hav',e been that He kept this matter' lin IIis owls hands and made this private arrangement because IIe suspected the treachery of Judas, and feared that Judas would bring His enemies there. He wished to have these last hours of uninterrupted fel- lowship with Hie disciples. "He sendetdt two." Judas was not ono of the two. For the moment he was baffled.

The method of killing ]logs practiced on most farms is first to stun the hogs with a shot in the head from a rifle of small calibre, and then to stick them. Some stun the animals by hit- ting them in the head wlth an axe or othee heavy, 'blunt instrument, and then stick them. o To stick a hog, use a narrow, straight -bladed knife, about eight ,inches long. Point the knife directly toward the root of the tail and hold it in a line with the backbone, so that the shoulders will not be mutilated. Thrust the knife six or eight inches deep directly in front of the breast- bone, turn the knife and withdraw. Avoid •sticleing the heart, otherwise the blood will not be pumped out of the arteries. Turn the hog on his side to bleed. After the hog has bled he is ready for scalding. Use either a barrel or a vat. hoist the hog by hand or by means of :block and tackle. If the hand method is used, place the barrel firmly in position, slanting at an angle of about forty-five degrees, aghinst a law platform. If block and tackle are used a tripod or scaffold must be built for the block and tackle to work on above the barrel; or it may be attach- ed to a limb of a tree. When block and tackle are used the barrel need not be in a slanting position. After putting a hog hook in the lower jaw and putting the hog on the platform, slide the animal into the barrel, rear end first. Iieep the car- cass moving up and down in the water; do not let it rest against the rides of the barrel or vat. Pull the carcass out of the water occasionally to air, and to try the hair; when the hair and scurf slip easily from the surface the hog is ready for scraping. Get through with the scraping as rapidly as possible when scalding is complete. Place the hog on the lone table or platform against which the scalding barrel leans. Remove the hair and scurf, beginning with head and legs first, as the hair .on these parts cools quickest. Go over the parts with a common hell scraper or some other fairly dull instrument; follow by shaving with a sharp knife. If any hair should not yield, cover the part with a piece of gunny sack and pour hot water over it. When the hair is off hang the hog up with the head dawn; and scrape the carcass clean. To hang the hog, a three or four - inch shit is made in the skin of each body, the wide poured out of His slued hind leg, jus't•he'low the hock, uncover - blood.

But one coir! winter night he was aide to get away, and after supper Nancy said: "Oh, Feather, let's play parchecsi to -eight." "All right, I'd like to," Father re- plied, "if Mother will play, too." So Nancy ran for her pareheesi beard and soon Father, Mother and Nancy were having a fine game. All at mute they heard a loud "clung!" It was the big hell in the living ream, which always rang when there WOO a fire. Father jumped up and hurried for mat at and hat. When the firemen reached the fire they found that a house was burning. A crowd soon gathered and some one cried, "There is a little girl up- stairs!" Father Bryant called out, "I will get her!"

There are two reasons freezing, and ends in the spring when for the success of quackery; one is the nights are 710 longer cool enough. the desire to obtain money easily, and the other is due to the superstition which exists in the minds of a great many people regarding medicine. When one thinks he is ill and does not get relief from a regular doctor, who many times, perhaps, does not give enough encouragement, he finds the quack always ready to guarantee a cure. Naturally the promise brings encouragement and the patient takes the bait, This is perhaps satisfactory so far as the patient is concerned if no serious trouble exists, but when a person is really ill a great deal of damage can be done through improper treatment or through the lack of pro- per treatment, In many cases the only chance of checking the ravages of a serious malady may be entirely lost. In almost all other cases the aver- age person places his confidence in one whom he knows to have latbwledgo of the thing for which he wishes advice.

The preferred temperatures range from as low as zero to as high as 40 deg. F., ideal weather being about freezing. Hogs usually are butchered when from eight to twelve months of age, and when they weigh from 200 to 300 pounds. When butchered especially for meat, hogs that are not too fat are preferred; but when for lard, the fatter the better. Hogs butchered early in the fall more often are only moderately fat, while those butchered in Midwinter are well fattened. Jesus sought quiet and retirement reject Him.

The Loath of Life became sub- ject tett fur us. .o are com- manded to reproduce a scene con- ceived by God himself. Ilow can we paint that glorious deed when we have only our own sitrlul selves to put into it end the common bread and drink with which we fee,] our bodies? Can you conceive of a father who, after his daughter Ins :admired a beau- tiful Sunset, hands her a pot of tar and a coarse blush and tells her to paint the sunset on her Lauyas? It would be ridiculous and foolish to give such -a command. But, turning from the pot of tar, the father presents his daughter with a supply of varied and perfect colors and tells her again to paint the sun- set that they have just seen. She does not laugh now, or refuse, but takes the colors and begins her work, and enhtn it is fhni=bed she calls her father to view it. He is greatly pleased, and praises her. "But 1tepeelally," he says, "I am phrased to think that such a wonder- ful picture could have come from the block tar that seemed worthless and l see beside the sunset." "But, father," eays the girl, "I did not use the rot of tar. I used the wonderful colors that you gave me afterwards." "Yes,," he replied, "hut the chemist made all those colors from the black tar. His skill turned the tar into the colors; so with the tar you have made the sunset." Thus we, as God's children, are asked to paint the pict'ltre of the wonderful sunset of the Sun of Right- eousness, when after a brilliant day of shining for the world Ile sank in a burst of glory to rest for the short night before reappearing again, How ,impassible a task! Although we might picture with our sinful dives the be- trayal of Judas or the denial by Peter, to portray the crucifixion of Jesus, the most impressive picture the world has ever known, is impossible. But now the great Chemist of Souls by His divine touch turns these bodies and souls into children of God, the very brothers and sisters of Christ Himself, With Christ living and showing in them so that they can say, "It is no longer I that live, but Christ who liveth-lin me." Now, it is possible to show, though imperfectly, something of the glory and the beauty of the picture, and to draw men to Him who is the Light o men, But it is not only in observing the sacrament that we are to picture Christ for our fellow men. It is more often in everyclay life. Is there some- what of the glory revealed even in you, or .is the Sunset of Christ for men hidden by a cloud? • Potatoes mash smoothly and quickly if hot milk is added instead of cold. It's as well to remember that .we have to regret the things we didn't say. Just one time of neglecting to cleanse the tubes of the milking ma- chine may rest the milk of the entire dairy for that clay, and more, if we permit the carelessness to continue. No man ever ought to get a milking machine, unless he is determined to ke.ep the pails, teat -:nm and tubes absolutely clean. Good fish is • often spoilt in prepare- tion; fish to be boiled _hould be placed in w8111 water, not hot, with the ex, option of salmon, which should go into water nearly boiling to peeserve the color.

Such .small additions taiceawey the insipid Carte attached to much boiled fish. Heigh-ho: 1.. r the swirling snow, The Till,,, facet and 13 (40ry blow!
