Mtn Old
flints for the Coining Season,
'i 'ith the advent of the first fruits
preparations should be made fur
putting up the winter's store. A
ailed ketble kept fur this purpose
rahouid be kept in every well regu-
lated kitchen; and if much preserv-
ing is dune one large and one small
kettle will ha useful. They should
be either heavy granite •or, better
shill, enameled iron ware. An en-
ameled •spoon; dipper and wide
necked funnel tc fit over necks of
glass jars complete the set. Other
utensils such as banvls, saucepans,
etc., will be found in every kitchen.
Fun' jellies 'provide a good bag of
loosely woven double cheese cloth
with a ]coop ,sewed in top and a
.strung hook put in some convenient
place so bag .can hang free to drip :
:also' have plenty of paraffin on hand
to send :the ,jam and jelly giassets and
new rubbers for tele 'necks of the
glass jars for canning.
Always remembe4' to Have all
glasses and other utensils strictly
clean and sterilized by immersion
in a kettle of water which is then
:slowly brought to the boiling point
•and;'builed at least 'ten minutes.
For jams and jellies glasses need
net be hot, but in canning, glasses,
covers, and fruit must be thorough-
ly ;heated, then sealed while jar
stands in a pan of hot water, and
rubbers must be carefully adjusted
before filling in the fruit ; the latter
should be poured in to overflowing
to exclude air.
(Keep these d re•ctions in your
scrap book and proportions fur the
different kinds of fruit will be given
from time to time.)
Method of Canning. in Very Small
Quantities. - Cook the required
amount of water, sugar and prepar-
ed fruit in a small kettle until the
-fruit is tender, then fill into the
hot sterilized jars an•c seal.
Jtetttod of Canning. -Boil sugar
and weber as a syrup 'for ten min-
utes, taking off any .scum 'thatenay
rise. Place the prepared fruit in
sterilized jape, fill with some of the
syrup and set the covers on, but do
nut :,crew down. Now place a false
traitwn made of slats or an even
layer ofexceleior in the bottom of
a 1•arge kettle or wash -boiler, and
en line place the jars '00pee/ do not
touch one another. Fill kettle al -
meet to neck of jars wlbh,wareu wa-
ter, then baring to boiling point. For
small Fruits twenty minutes will be
enough, but large or hard fruit
must boil longer. Have a fat pan
with a few 'inches of hot water at
hart:!. also some more hot sy'r'up;
now lift out one jar at a time and
set in pan of hot water and fill in
enough syrup to ove•rtlow, then ad -
lust the rubbers :and clean covers.
which must be in hot water ; screw
down tightly, wipe jar carefully and
set on folded towel to cool.

Useful Riots.
To make a. heavy .sewing table

This makes a very heavy cushion
that can be need' as a weight.
It is a wise thing to raise some
okra elnrl dr,}' the Vdh. They will
keep indphn,4ely, and there is, no
better flavor for [scraps and bouil-

After washing laceeurt•ains lay a

I•b is well when bleaching a piece
of lace or linen to placeit in soapy

AN ARCTIC VISITOR.
Capt. Tjpai MhIckel5ea's Adventure
Wilt a Bear.
Established in winter quarters in
Gr'eenlan'd, Capt'. 7' j'n'ar Mikkelsen
and his companion. had an advem-
tlu'e with a bear, which Captain
Mikkclse'n des'caibes in "Loeb im the,,
Arctic:" He wa.s chopping wood
on the floor of the house when an
exclamation from Iversen caused
him. to look up, and he found him-
Self oonfrontang a bear which was
not more than twenty paces off.
I :spring back ;]hastily, \vvbh e, sort
of mental •snatpelhot of a big, white,
furry lump with shining teeth 'and
flashing eyes, gliding silently and
swiftly toward qua.
In a moment we have shut and
bolted the glow, and Iversen putts
his bark 'against it to farther bar
the entra'n'ce against our unwea-
00mhe guest. We are aunt -exactly
prepared. ;Everson has • but one
shot in his gun, and mine is empty;'
bout weapon's are frozen, and ib is
doubtful if we can get tem, thawed
i
n time. Bruin, however, OV , ,fias no
sportsmanlike scruples, about wait-
ing until we tare ready; he is hum,
gry, and evidently deternnined to
break in,
A mighty thump of his heavy paw
settles the mantes. Iversen is flung
lla•if across the r om,nt and upset the.
caboose, 'with pots, pans, dinner
and all, ']`rue ne'x't moment he is
on his feet again, at my .side, with
his rifle in his hemd,
i1 e glance at each other without
speaking. There in the doorway,
tv-bit his forepaws on the threshold,
is the bear, sharing in, open-
mouthed and dribbling in astonish-
ment at the strange cave he. has
broken -into, Never have I seen
511011 utter consternation in the
eyes of any beast. -
A sharp, click breaks the oilskin;
silence as Iversen 006105 his gun.
The nett moment the cabin is filled
with •a tremendous r001,
My eyes are fixed • on the bear,
His great white chest shl\•alis at the
shot, a few drops of blued appear,
but still stands utero 1n ehe
doorway, as if petrified with ars
tc*nishn:ent, , ll`lheoi eueld•e•nly he"de
tidos to retreat, rusts a. few etep-e,

Text, Meek _ 9
. 17.
Verse 9. And -he snake also this
parable -A form of introduction
used frequently by Luke, and char-
acterietio of his style. In this chap-
ter, els in others in the Gospel of
Luke, certain 'parables have been
b'rough't together which have no
close connection in thought and
were spoken at different times and
in different places. This parable
itas no evident conneotion with the
one which precedes it (verses 1-8)
or with ,the nar'ra'tive which follows
(venses 15-80).
Who 'trusted in themselves that
they were righteous-tllad they
trusted in God rather than in them-
selves, this 'trust would have led
'them to 'a recognition of stile shal-
lowness of their own formal piety.
And set all others at nought, -
The word is a strong one, meaning
"utterly deepised," or "treated as
of no account," These. Pharisees
were probably so situated that it
was easy for 'them to keep thelet-
ter of the law. •tlllj:e Talmud speaks
of those "who iinplore you to men-
tion some more deities trhieh they
might perform." They believed
that they alone were righteous, and
had to [sympathy kvith those who,
heoause they were less fortunately
situated, were unable to observe
with so ;great exactness all She laws
and ceremonies connected with the
Jewish religion.
10. Two men went -'.Rhe temple
stood on Mount Moiiah, soil; ,would
be necessary to go illi inky the 'tem-
:' Hut
pro to pray. An incident cab as
the one referred le might easily
have occurred at one of the usual
hones of prayer.. •
The one a Pharisee -The Phari-
sees•were a religious party among
the Jets whose leading ,eharacteris
ties was their scrupulous observ-
ance of the law, They also •observed
many :traditions handed :down from
their ancestors, and theme were
even more binding tharn The com-
mandments of 'the written law
(iblark 7:8), The written law -had to
beexplained in accordance, with
tradition, avhich was the noi•ni of
all life, national, social, and it1
divid cal. Time, [to :them, religiti•n
consisted 111 tine scrurate know'li dge.
tend scrupulous observance of daw
and tradition,
And the 'other a 'publican -- The
publicans were 'elle Tonal Jewish
tax collectors' for the Roman gov-
eemneel t. ttihey* were despised
among the Jews because of their
pnpatuotic"cotiduct in 'serving a
fo•re,ign power, and for their dis-
honcsty in extonbing mclre {than the
required amount -of taxes.
11. The Pharisee :',toad. -•It was
ciat'ontar;i for the -Jews bo stand
when blley prayed (see 1 Sam. 1.20;
Mark 1'1.25). 'Tio words, of Jestls
seemed to. indicate .than this Phari-
see, 'how'evel•, sought oat a , (Mil
spinous place to steed.
And prayed• 11115 with 111011elf
The Pharisee really dress 110 pray-
er. He asks God for nothing, and
merely uses the farm of ,thanks-
giving. He addresses this words to
God, but is all the time thinking
about himself. He oongrabulates
himself because of his goodness and
congratulates •God on having each
a faithful 'servant.
I ,thank thee, that I am not as
the rest of men -Ile puts everybody
else in a class below 'himself. Con-
trast with these the words of St.
Paul in 1 Cor. 15. 9, 10.
12. The Pharisee thinks himself
superior to other men, not only in
what he abstains from, but in what
he does.
I fast twice in the week -The Mo-
saic law enjoined •bet on feet in
the yea -r, the Day of Atonement.
During the exile it become custom-
ary to observe four yearly fasts in
memory of national calamities, the
one in the fourth :month, commemo-
rated ;the capture of Jerusalem;
that of the fifth month., the destruc-
tion of the city and temple; of ehe
seventh moo tlh, the murder of Ge-
daliarlt (9 Kings 25. 25; Jer. 41. 1) ;
that of the ttenth the beginning of
the siege ger. 52. 4). Occasionally
apeai:al sash's were ordered in sea -
00110 of drought and 'other public
calamities, and these fasts were al-
ways held on Mondays and Thurs-
days, Thursday being the day on
which Moses was supposed to have
ascended the mount and Monday
the day of Inc return. go it came
about that some of the people fast-
ed on Mondays and Thursdays all
theyearround.
I give tithes of all that I get -
Tithes were required on some
things, but nob on everything (see
Matt. 23. 23). Here the Pharisee
boasts of doing more than he was
required.
13. The publican, standing afar
off from .the Pharisee .would not
lf'ft up so much as his eyes unto
(heave:n. Contrast this humble man-
ner with that of the over -confident,
even familiar 'attitude 0.1 -the
]?Ihar'isee.
Smote his breast -Continued to
smite it hisearnestness.
A sinner -Better, "the sinter."
His load of guilt- seems so .heave'
that 'he 'singles himself out as the.
chief of sinners. (Compare 1 Tim.
1. 15.)
14. Justified-• C'ounted as rig+hte•

Bather than the other -While
this does not expressly state that
the Pharisee :vas not justified, the
whole parable would .lead usto
think that rte was not retarded as

Every one that, exalt•eth himself

Some of these may'bave been Gali-

heard of Jesus, and was willing to
brave the criticism of the crowd in
order to see him. His desire may
have been, first of :all, prompted by
curiosity, bu't•-he seems to have had
an honest heart,' and in this in-
stance, as in •many others, our
Lord's friendly intercourse- with
publicans and sinners was justified
by its results.

cliaeus's personal'charaetel', merely

of his occupation. Christ's friendly
actions so outraged their sense of
propriety that they all murmured.

Says the Daily Mail. It simply means
that we havebeenenjoying a period of
sustained prosperity. Heavy drinking
and gond trade go together, and a wave
of sobriety is often only anoiber way
or saying ,a. wove of commercial depres-
sion, -
It sounds, and it is, appalling enaugh
that we should be spending on drink a
sunt equal to taus-afths of 1710 entire
national revenue: that a working class
family should be estimated to waste
nearly one-sixth of its income oft liquor
and that the anneal expendLture, 1f we

Prince Alexandtee of Teek as 0,
brother of the Queen's is, Of course,
the Kings; brother-in-law, but he is
s'e•e4111d i)C05in, once remi0Ved'.11 to his
Majesty, who 'himself stands in that
relation :tu his own urnsort, Prin-
oess Alexander is not only Queen
Mary's sister-in-law, but . she its
also her second cousin once re-
moved, and she is [dee King's first
cousin its well as his sister-in-law
by marriage. The King has already
i created his wife's eldest brother,
the Duke of Teck, a "Highness;"
instead of a `Serene Bighness,"
Iwhichis the courtesy title borne by
the other members of the Teck fare-
ily. And it is probable, that the
same favor will be ahown to Prince
Alexander, Moreover, it is likely
.hat he will be made a Peer of tete
realm- -probably 31 Duke, as the
number 4.f Dukes at present is be-
low its normal strength. Princess
Alexander is, of .course, a' "Royal
Highness."
The late Duke of Teck, father of
the present Duke and of Prince
IAlexander, was a "Highness,"
while his wife and their another, the
t sister of the. late Duke of C'am-
Ibridge, was a '`.Royal Highness."
1 Many people thought that Queen
IVictoria should have made the late
( Duke a "Royal Highness," but
I (whether oovreotly or nut), it was
fairly generally imagined that
( Queen Victoria was not too pleased
at the vast popularity of the lata
1 Duchess of Teck--''jo-ily Mary," as
she was known to the British pub-
lit and su was indisposed to du her
husband this honor.

be presumed trat she brought her
husband a. •nice little sum by way of
dowry, But Prince Alexander when
he married sweet Princess Alice of
Albatnd, married a maiden of Royal
blood, but one who is .not likely to
have been too well dowered. It has
often been rumored in Amerman
papels that Queen Mary makes
Princess Alexander an allowance to
enablehim to live in a style befit -
1 ting her brother, and he occupies
apartments assigned to Mini by his
IMajesty at Windsor.

It is believed in Great Brittain
that there is a settled policy that

Governor-General, will not' be suf-

that Arura,tlh will succeed to Arnu-

of C'onnaught•, before his own ap-
pointment, expressed the hope.tho.t
he would one day see, in each of the

the King's many sons are old
