Good lard is much better than
butter for basting roasted meat and
lir frying.
Bread will cut thinner and in
more even slices if you turn the
loaf upside down.
To maotlx an iron, plunge it
while hot into solei water with a
little soap in it.
Enealyptus oil will remove grease
including machine oil, from any
fabric without injury.
A very good way to singe chick-
ens is to hold them over a saucer
of alcohol. There is no soot left
then en the flesh.
Muslin tubing makes pilbow cases
which are very little trouble, either
to make or to launder. They
should be left open at 'both ends
Varnished paint 'can be kept
bright by soaking in water for some
time a brag filled with flaxseed, and
then using it as a cloth to clean the
paint.
Stains on flannels may be remov-
ed by applying yolks of eggs end
glycerine in equal quantities.
Leave it for half an hour and then
wash out.
Fish, when prepared for frying,
,should be laid on a board and
dredged with flour or meal mixed

THS SOi,<DA! SCHDDI STUDY
INTERNA'TIONAL LESSON,
AUGUST 0.
Lesson VI. The Barren I'ig Tree and
the Defiled Temple, Mark 11.
12-33. Coshes Text,
Matt. 7. 20.
Verse 12, On the morrow—On
Monday morning, the day following
the triumphal entry. During this
last week ib was the custom of Jesus
to spend the night at Bethany and
return during the day to Jerusa-
lem.
Bethany—See preceding lesson.
13. A fig tree . . having leaves
—Though this was earlier in the
year than one would naturally ex-
pect to find figs on the trees, the
fact that the leaves were out would
suggest that there might be fruit,
since in fig trees the fruit, which is
in reality modified blossom, appears
before the leaves.
It was not the season of figs—
The early variety of figs .appeared
in June, the later erop in August,
The time indicated in our lesson
was about April.
14. If this incident stood alone, if
we knew nothing else about the
character of Jesus, we should be
inclined _to think his act petulant.
His words would seem to have been
spoken because he was irritated
and disappointed. Why should one
curse a tree.l But we knew enough
of the life of Jesus to cause us to
seek a further explanation. The
true meaning of any man's words
is to be found, not in his isolated
sentences, but in a study of all his
teachings. The meaning of oneact
of any person can be rightly un-
derstood only when compared with
his acts in general. Moreover, Jesus
Jer. 7. 11, in which the prophet
speaks of the desecration of the
temple beeause of the character of
the people who used it, Here, it is
not the ;people primarily, but the
wrong use of the temple, which is
oondemned. Jesus evidently ob-
jected to having the house of prayer
need as .a place for personal gain.
But lair trading could not be tatt-
ed "robbery," -and before using so
strong a word Jesus must have not-
iced that these traders were greedy
and unscrupulous and that they
sought to enrich themselves by tak-
ing an unfair advantage of those
who came from a. distance to wor-
ship in the temple.
18 The chief priests and the
scribes—These were the authorities
who had sold to the traders the
right to carry on their business in
the temple court. Since the words
of Jesus were a rebuke to them. as
well as to the traders, they resented
this invasion of their established
rights. -They also constituted the
main body of the Sanhedrin, and
therefore sought how they might
destroy Jesus.
They feared him—Because the
multitude stood in awe at the pow-
er of Jesue and the authority of his
teaching.
19. We learn from Matthew that
he went to Bethany.
20. As they passed by in the
morning—Returning to Jerusalem.
22. Jesus answering—Replying to
the wonder expressed in Peter's
remark.
Saith unto them, Have faith in
God—The thoughts of Jesus seem
here to take a different turn from
what we ,expect, and .these words,
with those following on forgiveness
as a condition of answer to .prayer
(verse 25), may be given here as the
substance of a longer conversation
of which we are not given the full
setting, If indirect reply to Peter's
remark Jesus explained that faith
in God was the source of his mirac-
ulous power over the fig tree, then,

EXPEDIENCE OF A TORNADO
FREAKISH TRICKS W'HIC'H IT
PERFORMED.
if a shell had exploded at the win-
dub. The naiee broke the spell
which chained her to the epot, and
with my sisters and a servant girl
she ran from the house,
All that I have described could
not have occupied more than ten
or fifteen seconds, The street was
only 00 feet wide, and 1 was but
halfway across when the report
came -from the cottage. At the same
moment 1 discovered that the
course of the tornado had changed,
and that it was sweeping in a
north-eastern direction through
what is known as Firble's Addition
to the city. Fibles Addition is built
up chiefly with frame 'houses, one
or two stories in height, .which are
occupied mainly by students, labor-
ers and small merchants. A. large
brick house stands just southeast of
the addition and to the east of the
storm path, while the North Mis-
souri state normal school building
is just beyond the western limit. I
knew that at this hour nearly all
the people would be at home at sup-
per and the tornado would burst on
them without a moment's warning.
A great crushing feeling of horror
and grief supplanted the awful
dread that only a moment before
had stilled my heart.
Shouting to my wife that we were
safe and directing her to telephone
for surgeons, I ran east in the di-
rection of the tornado. It had now
grown to such gigantic proportions
that it seemed to extend :from the
zenith to the farthest limit of the
eastern horizon. When it struck
the densely populated part of the
city the continual crashing and
tearing of houses was added to that
of incessant rumbling and roaring,
making an awful sound, which
swelled in volume until the earth
trembled beneath our feet.. The air
was filled with flying debris. Doors,
shutters, roofs and even whole
houses were sent soaring .and whirl-
ing to a height of 300 or 400 feet. I
saw the wheel of a wagon or car-
riage flying np into the storm cloud.
Ons house was lifted upward to a
height of more than 100 feet, when
it seemed to explode into

the devastating tornadoes that of-
ten sweep American soil. About
0.30 on the afternoon of April 27,
1899, I left my house at Kirkville,
Mo., to post some letters. The day
had been rather remarkable, alter-
nating between suffocating' heat and
chilliness of early spring. Dense
dark clouds occasionally rolled
across the saffron sky. ,and showers
of rain alternated with bursts of
sunshine, while -the winds had been
capricious, at times 'blowing in
gusts and gales, to be followed by
a dead calm. It needed no baro-
meter to indicate -an impending tit-
mospherio disturbance, for every-
one could feel it.
At the time I started from my
house a gentle shower was falling,
and I took my umbrella with me. As
I stepped from the west door of the
veranda a continuous roaring off to
the southward burst on my ears,
and, my house ' being on high ground
I had an excellent view in that di-
rection.
In the southwest, at the extreme
limit of my vision, hang a lowering

peals of thunder issued. Just be-

dust and smoke, taming apparently
toward me with an incessant and
steadily increasing roar. The first
appearance was that of a huge lo-
comotive emitting black smoke and
steam, and coming at a tremendous
speed. The tornado seemed sudden-
ly to tear itself loose from the black
storm aloud and to advance at an
increased speed rotating from right
to left.
I quickly entered the house, call-
ing to my wife and children to fiy
for their •lives. My youngest daugh-
ter, aged sixteen, had gone to the
second story to secure some win-
dows,. and evidently alarmed ,at my
call, was for a- moment dumfounded
with :fear. Bounding np the stair-
way I met her coming down, and
my wife took her and our eldest
daughter into the yard west of the
house, where they sought safety be-
hind some cedars,
Having placed them in what I
thought the most secure place avail-
able, I once more turned my atten-
tion -to the 'storm, which I found
much nearer. The great funnel -
shaped cloud, expanding and ex-
tending up into the vault of heaven,
seemed to extend over the entire
eastern horizon. It was a dark,
steamy clued, from which were
emitted evanescent flashes of elec-
tric light.
My next.oare was for my mother
and two sisters, one of whom was
blind. Their: cottage is on the same
street, just opposite my own house.
As I started across the street
I shouted to a neighbor, who, with
his wife and child, stook motionless
on his veranda, calling to them to
fly for their lives. By this time the
tornado leas near and its roar so
lend that my voice could not be
heard, though they saw my frantic
gestures,
In the west wing of my mother's
cottage. were north and south win-
dows, and I could see her standing
quietly at the south window, gazing
in awe and silence upon the fearful
phenomenon, so terrible in its
splendor that she was spellhound
and incapable el motion,

which went soaring, whirling and
mingling with the other debris.
The wind two :blocks away as it
crossed our street pulled down a
cedar tree in my front lawn and a
huge large plate.glass of the hone
adjoining was' burst outward by
pressure of the air within and shat-
tered into a 'hundred fragments.
During the few seconds that the tor-
nado took in crossing our street no
one was in sight and I continued
my flight toward the scenes of discs
ter without meeting or seeing any-
one.
On it swept in its unswerving
northeast course, a great black
monster obscuring the eastern sky,
a raging, baleful thing; a hateful,
devouring demon, tearing up houses
to their foundation stones, roaring,
rumbling, crashing, thundering in
its awful rage, the most terrifying
spectacle man ever gazed upon until
it swept out ee sight, leaving a path
of smoking ruins in its wake.
About 30 minutes after the torna-
do had swept over the city a black,
angry cloud rose in the west and
spread over the entire city- delug-
ing it with a downpour of rain,
while the wind blew such a gale that
many of our younger assistants be-

The name Cytel is connected with

Kell, whence comes the name Kel-

the opinion that the original Kel-

been ennobled. Prominent among
these is Stewart, or Stuart, which
