If cut in rings or sliced they can be used as sauce or made into frnit salad, but for shortcakes or cake filling, as well as for ices or pad- ding: and sauce, the grated or ground pineapple is usually pre- ferred and more economical, as a very little is often sufficient owing to the concentrated form, To Cub in Rings,—Seleet very fine flavored fruit and cut into ,thin slices, .then pare each sliee and re- move sere with au apple armee; be sure to use glass jars with very wide necks so rings will slip in without breaking: e- tre Cuter :Dice or Strips, -Cut in rattier thick slices, 'then pare and remove core and cut in small cubes or strips.

Beat in as much very hob water or leave them web very long. Use old ,stocking tops for cloths wibh Which to handle hot pans and dishes while cooking. Boiling hot starch poured over fresh iodine stains will remove them from cotton goods. To get rid of ants in the pantry, mix cayenne pepper and borax and dust around where they are. When storing carpets or rugs roll them up with alum and moth balls enfolded, and they will be safe. A. few drops of parafCiu added to shoe blacking will impart a good polish to damp shoes and also help preserve leather. Time will be saved if a frying pan or griddle is wiped with a piece of. newspaper to remove the surplus grease before it is washed. A nice sandwich may be made from chopped dates. Chop dates with English walnuts and spread mixture between thin slices of but- tered bread. A small white marble in the, pot in which rice is cooked will elim- inate 'the necessity 'of stirring, as it will roll around and prevent the rico from sticking, An ,excellent grease eradicator cam be easily made by mixing two ounces ofammonia, one ounce of eastile soap shavings, one quart of salt water and one teaspoonful' al saltpeter. When baking biscuits roll the dough out thin, double and then cut oat as usual and when baked biscuits will hill apart wibhout mat- ting kir breaking, and so be more appetizing.

Many Ways in Which a Collier May Meet Death in the Bowels of the Earth. Not a day passes without soave terrible accident in the coal -mines of ;this .country; in fact, the amhu- lances attached to our great pits are constantly in requisition. There is no braver class, of men than Mils Hers, and day after day there are suoh deeds of heroism performed as exceeded any carried out on the battlefield, says London Answers. The heroism of the collier is some- thing So usual that it is unknown to the bulk of individuals. It is con- sidered merely everyday conduct by the men themselves. Now and then a great calamity at some mine will bring vividly before .the public the danger of au miner's calling. It is when mute wives and trying children await in vain for the re- turn of bread -winners, and see but blackened fragments of what once were men brought out of thti anne, that public sympathy is aroused. Yet the fact is that such great dis- asters are comparatively rare, while not a day passes without some snralier disaster. Hearing the Inaudible. The perils which the miner alas to face are moot commonly other than explosions, In fact, some 00 per cent, of ,the fatal accidents that oe- cur-are caused by the falls of roofs and sides. It is comparatively com- mon for a man, or a number of men, to be entombed alive. Sometinl,es the :anon may be dug out in ,time—sometimes not. It not infrequently happens that the man may be rescued only for a aeoond fall to bury him, Colliers have .a marvellously' ole= voloped cense. of hearring. Their ears to them are far more than .to the ordinary individttal, As years' pass on, they can hepar sounds which are utterly inaudible to most peo- ple. '.l'here in the black darkness, which is made more horrible by the faint flicker of the lamps, their lives depend upon et, keen sense of hear- ing. While at ,work they hear .a taint crackling, a sign that the roek. above them is giving way, This is a warning that they mast leave im-. madi'ately, or be buried alive um, der a heavy fall.

Immediately the fall has taken place, however, there will be no lack of volunteers for the work of digging out the'im- prieoned man, No Titnugh1 01' Themselves.Themselves.Themselves.Tons of •coal, earth, and rubbish will be quickly shifted h order to. reach the prieoner. If this can be done, the next thing is to haw away the beams which pin him to - the ground, while ame stimulant may be given to the man in order to keep the flicker of life in him. Then, after some hours, ha will be lifted. out and carried away in the ambulance to the nearest infirmary. It is such a mammon •occurrence For a miner to be entombed that it scarcely excites remark even when his nates, in their endeavors to save him, suffer a similar fate. De- spite the d•onger, the survivors will work away, to. a man, without any thought that they themselves many meet ,the same horrible, lingering death. In most instances an explosion is caused, not by gas, but by the very fine coal -dust. Even a spark may ignite this dust, in which case the explosion will rush along, gather- ing strength from every particle of dust that remains. Strangely enough, the "shots" used for blast- ing purposes very rarely cause an explosion. This is possibly due to the fact that the vicinity is well watered to keep down the dust. All the same it is a terrible fact that in a four -foot .seam during the last half century the number' of deaths have amounted to 1,000 from explosions from the dust. The pub- lic only hears of the great disasters, knowing nothing of those explosions which may kill only two or three men, though in the course of a year these mount up terribly. ManyManyFatal Accidents. Few people fare aware of the num- ber of fatal accidents which take place by men being run over in the pit. For some reason a horse with its loud may take fright. There is then no hope for the man in the narrow roadway who cannot crawl into one of the shelter places; the running miner may stumble, either being run over directly -or crushed against the sides. There are innumerable ways in which a collier may meet his.end in tate bowels of the earth. While us- ing his pick he may strike a, "pock- et" of metal, sending out a stream of :sparks which ignite the coal dust, and so cause a minor explosion. If electricity is employed, eamething may go wrong with the insulation, and so cause another little explo- sion. A man may even meet his death by reeeiving the fiill force of the electric current as he steps into some pool of water near a faulty part of the electric mechanism It is not uncommon for a man to be drowned by a sudden inrush of wwa- ter.It is quite a coronion occurrence for a, miner to lose hie life by' firing shots which blast the material. One common form of fatality is for a single shot, say, of a couple, not to fire properly. The man, thinking that both shots have gone off, will return to the fuse .too quickly, and then will meet with an awful death. In Countless Ways. The collier may even be last. His lamp may • go eat, and he, taking the wrong 'turning, get into some abandoned portion of the mine, he may wander for days until his strength is spent. Deep below in the impenetrable larlcnees, the miner rains practically every danger that 0 man. runs. on the surface, while, in addition, he must face many others. He may be run over, drowned, suffocated, crushed to death, or blown to pieces. But, no matter what may' happen, his gallant fellows are ever willing to risk their lives even on the most forlorn ebance of aiding him. 1NJ'i ItN.i7'l011AL LESSON, y Lesson 11;- -Gres Olean TheOuh Sea. vies. Mark 10. 32-45. Golden a Vernet 32. And they were on the way, g ting up to JerusalemeeThe greater number of lotion pasev.ges we have studied thus far this year deal with incidents which occurred and lessons which were ;.riven dur- ing Christ's last journey from Gali- leo to Jerusalem. The route was circuitous and duobticss occupied several nlgritlls. Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed --Jesus mingled so freely with his disciples that on this oeeasion, when he walked apart from them and did not communicate his'thuughte, they were surprised and were unable to explain 'his. manner. No doubt his mind was occupied with things which he knew they could eat clearly under- stand, and with which they would probably riot be in ryrnpathy, They that followed were afraid Others of the company, besides the disciples, were awed by Jesus's demeanor, and though they follow- ed him, they did it with fear. He, took again the twelve—Beeom- ing aware of the effect on ,the disci - pies produced by the strangeness of his manner, Jesus again joined the company of the disciples ,and began to share with them his thoughts re- garding the crisis awaiting them at Jerusalem Matthew says that he took the disciples .apart, that is, away from the rest of the followers. 33. This is the third time that Jesus had announced his passion to the clisciples. -The details as given here and in verse 34 corrertpond so closely to the events which later took place, that it is possible the writer recorded his later clear un- derstanding of the import of what Jesus said, rather than the impres- sion ana,cle when the words were spoken. St. Luke says, "They perceived what he said." If we suppose Jesus to have spoken at the time in veiled prophecy, we can better understand the inconsiderate demand made by Janke and John. The chief priests and the scribes —Representing the Sanhedrin, or the governing council of the Jews. Before this council were tried the more important cases coming under the Jewish law. Shall deliver him unto the Gen- tiles—This had not been mentioned in the earlier predictions of the death of Jesus, The Doman law diel not permit the Jews to execute a death sentence it reserved to it- self this right. •34, Scourging—with a whip of many lashes—was an invariable ac- companiment of crucifixion. Jesus would naturally expect to be mock- ed, because his claim to be a Icing would excite the ridicule of the sal- dier and the unfriendl' e,o le • s b } p ,p , but this prediction as a whole seems to •rest on something more than ordinary foresight, since no one could know definitely what the Ro- man governor woukl do, and the definite time of the resurrection was, of bourse, a revelation. 35. James and John, the sons of Zebedee—In Mark 1. 19 and Matt. 4, 51 we -learn that these brothers were fishermen, that, they were mending their nets in their boat on the Sea of Galilee when Jesus had called them, and that irhey had left their father and the hired servants and followed flim. They had been partners with Simon and Andrew, who were called at about the sante time. Their mother was named Sa- lome (see Matt. 27. 56; Mark 15. 40). She was one of the wsimen who followed Jesus in Galilee and ministered to him of their substance (Mark 15, 41), and many think she was a sister of the mother of Je- sus. Comparing the two references above with John 19, 95, "his mother's sister" is generally taken to mean Salome. Saint John's omission of the name of hie own mother is similar to the indirect way in which Ise refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." If the supposition that Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Salome, the mother.' of Janos and John; were sisters is correct, then Jesus aid these brothers would be cousins, and this relationship may have seemecl to therm to justify their 're quest for [special recognitionin his kingdom. It also helps its to under- stand how their mother could come to Jesus with a similar eegues't (Matt, 20. 21), The fast that Jesus, while on the cross, commended his mother to. John supports the theory' that they were related, We would that thou ,trhouldest de for tis whatsoever we shall ass: of thee --This demand seems :most in- considerate, especially since Semis had just spoken of his approaching: trial and suffering. It ehow;s that his teaching cnsdd not lna.ve been cleerly eompr• h-tpcled. 1hse disciples Ay have taken 11Gelahy r,hri.x t secede about the �'� 10, WA , twelve tdirone �a t, {,tit 4 t1 ( - ) 33.

In the reign of Francis I. of France, gtiiekness of wit was often more promptly rewarded than ac- tual merit. The monk, Regniee Maines, did net lack merit, but, he owed his first advancement, never- thele,ss, to a clever retort, Francis, who was very fond of the game of tennis, was playing - match one day with Mosinns. The .monk finally ended tho Hard-fought' game with a brilliant stroke. The King was somewhat out of humor on account of hie defeat. "Remarleable," ]le exclaimed, sar- castically, "to think that such et stroke should be made by a mere monk I" " 13ut sire," replied the monk, who 'airs itik Buick with iia" wib Ste lta was'with his, racket, ''it is your majesty'e own fault that the ttsoicc was not made by an abbot." A week later Mainus received ;Itis appointment 'as abbot al 13'eaitileu, • i di'ielc 4 - This is a frgura•tive ex presIdee, referring' to '`a man' pur limn in life," :as w]'ai the ileal ist soy, " My cup rlunneth ove•r.'

To he baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with --Another figurative expression conveying thesame drought, with the ,added thought of the overwhelming power of the eadamity awaiting them, - 09, Though understanding no little' of the nueaningof Christ's questious, James and John replied, We ars. able, and Jesus took thein .at theirword. He knew that they would have to Share his sufferings, and notwithstanding their inability to comprehend his teaching, their shortc•umings and their faults, Jesus believed they would come out vic- torious, ia torious, and he did net discourage them, but treated them as men worthy of respect. What a. towel' 1f .strength it must, have been to them later, when the dark hours came, to remember the confidence that Jesus had bad in them 40. Places of honor in Christ kingdom aro to be attained, not given away. They have been pre- pared for those who are fitted for them, and inflate:nce counts for nothing. 41. The ten - . began to be moved with indignation—James and John were introducing political method for their own advancement. The ten naturally -resented this, 42. Jesus called them to him— He had been speaking to James and Jelin only. Hearing the objections on the part of the other disciples, he called them to explain to all the twelve the broad principles upon which greatness in sus kingdom rests. Lord it over them—The rulers are lords or masters, and the people become their servants to do their will and to minister to their plea- sure. 43. But it is not so among you— In Christ's kingdom greatness is not won by competition and self- assertion, but by working for the common good; by making a state of society in which the strong help to bear the burdens of the weak, and the welfare of every individual is considered important. Minister—One who serves, though this word does not indicate his re- lation to the person whom he selves, 44. Servant—That ie, bondser- vant, one who is under obligation or holds a personal relation to those whom he serves. This posi- tion in Christ's kingdom is higher than the position of minister, who does nob bold the personal relation- ship. ' 45. For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister—The Son of man is not ex- empt from the rule stated. "His kingship is also that of service, and net that of lordship." To give his life a ransom Inc many —Christ's life is the price by which men become free. This was true of his life in a sense in which it is not true of other lives, though the world has not been without its heroes and hei"oines, especially on the mission fields, who have given their lives that others alight live fuller, truer lives, s. m' ]TRANCE'S BIRTH RATE.
