S631d1144 Co'dela w Dressing. — One egg, o1 up of sugar, one tablespuoe of hour, one-half tea - Spoon of mustard, one-half teaspoon salt, clash et red pepper, one-half• cup each of water and vinegar. Put together in order given, 'beating the egg a little, then cook until it thickens, then cool. This makes enough dressing for two or three small eablbages, and one expert manager multiplies it by twenty- four to make enough to dress a popular cabbage relish for 200 peo- ple. Iib is a smooth and piquant dressing. Easy Coltislew Dressing. — Mesh the yolk of a hard •boiled egg with a quarter of a teaspoon of mustard, one tablespoon of sugar, and half a teaspoon of salt. 'When thoroughly mixed add enough vinegar to make it as :thin as desired. Several spoonfuls of milk or cream may be aidecl to it. It is a pretbty, 'sweet, and agreeable dressing for a small amount al cabbage. The .above amount is enough .for half a cab- bage. Cabbage Salad.—There is. no sal- ad dressing for cabbage that is finer than sour cream whipped up and seasoned with lemon juice or vine- gar, salt, and pepper to :taste, The strict• vegetarian uses the lemon juice always. A little shaved onion with a cabbage, one little one or several new ones, also seasons the salad well without being noticeable in an independent way. Some poo- ple like a salad or slaw seasoned instead with a half teaspoon of cel- ery seed. The cabbage must always be crisp, and if well crisped alter it has the finest flavor if scalded and then crisped in icewater. Shave it as finely as possible, .put it in a deep bowl with the onion if that is used, then pour immediately into a col- ander with fine holes and then put into icewater to crisp, leaving for at least an hour. A little sugar may be sprinkled on ib before adding a dressing. Radish flowers make about the ,prettiest decoration for cabbage salad, ;butt beet slices cot out in fancy shapes may be used and slices or shreds of •green or red pepper in season also are in favor. basin of wrnrtn water will give all that is needed. Sheets of tinfoil placed under doilies upon which glasses, pitchers or vases of water are set will pre- vent the dampness from soaking blu•ough and staining polished tattles, When baking bread or using the oven for other .purposes, remember that ib is an economy of fuel if vege- talbles are cooked in covered dishes, in the oven at the same time, ]:fain spots 00 cloth need nob be regarded 'hopelessly. Wipe ofd: the waw of the nap with a silk hand- lcerehieI or very soft ?brush. If this be done quickly, no marks will re- main. Both vinegar and lemon juice have a remarkable action on the fibre of beef, and if a piece of steak is allowed to remain for several Hours covered, with either, ib will lose much of its toughness. Should an extra polish be requir- ed on an old grate, firsb rub the bars with a :piece of lemon, after which they will take ?black lead bet- ter and polish more easily. Allow ewhbage water to get quite cold before pouring out, You will find it will leave no unpleasant smell behind, as it does when it is poured away hot. Brown boots and •shoes that have stains and spots on them may be renovated by rubbing them with a piece of flannel dipped in methy- labed spirits, leaving them to dry before polishing. Lettuce, parsley and .all other green things may be kept delicious- ly fresh if first washed in cold wa- ter, shaken and alien packed in a tin pail that has .e. very tight cover, so that the air may nab penetrate to them, and set in a cool place. If you choose young, tender flekl corn can it exactly as you can sweet corn, and add enough sugar in the preparation of the table to season it, you will find ib equal to sweet corn. When eooking field corn for the table add a teaspoon- ful of sugar to the kettle in which the corn is boiling and yon cannot tell it from sugar corn. Vegetables with a strong flavor, like cabbage, onions and turnips, should. be cooked in a large amount of water and kept :boiling rapidly. 'Such vegetables will improve with the addition o'f a bit of soda. The soda helps to soften the fibre of these vegetables, and when the wa- ter is to be. all poured off no appre- ciwble trace of the soda remains. A useful gift for anew baby that will be sure to be appreciated by baby's mother is a set of muslin bonnet strings, with •a tiny gilt safety pin attadhed tothe end of each to pin it to the little hood un- der the 'trimmings. Baby's )bonnet strings have such a way of getting stringy and ,wet alter a short time of wear that these'are much dain- tier than silk or satin Mies sewed to the hood, as they can be put on freshly done up, and look clean and crisp. They are just strips of mus- lin very daintily hemmed. The Kaiser. Marinated Red Cabbage. — Re- move outer imperfect leaves, wash, and cut up.a red cabbage fineas for cold slaw. Put it into a safety glaz- ed earthenware dish, powder with fine salt, and leave it in a cool place for two days, stirring it se- veral times in order that the salt may thoroughly penetrate the cab- bage. It can be prepared in a shouter time by using more salt. Enough liquid may the drawn out, if there is a considerable quantity of owubbage, so that it will need to be drained off, but ordinarily a reasonable amount of salt will simply make the cabbage sticky. Next slice one onion or several into the bottom of the earthenware dish, tie up some whole pepper, a. 'clove or two, and 'whatever spices you choose in a bit of cheesecloth, then cover the whole with either cold or boiling vinegar and leave standing for twenty-four hours, when it is ready for use. The pickled and red colored onion in this will be greatly relished as an appetizer, so it is. well to be generous with onion. It may be served separately. Instead of onion or with it may be added a tiny bit of garlic. German Endive.—lb is a great pity to waste bbe green part of the German er curdy endive or chicory, since ib makes most excellent and palatable greens of as .great value medicinally as dandelions, to which it is related. It is worth buying if it is entirely green, without any blanched centre. Three heads, which may often' be secured for 10 cents, will sunnly 'both a saladfor one meal and some greens for an- other, or a cooked salad for from four to six people. so it is much more economical thanhead lettuce and far more wholesome. Cook the green part in plenty of water for ben ox fifteen minutes, es until ten- - der; drain, dhop in a chopping bowl., then heat up with butter and other seasoning's; or combine with a little chipped meat, meat stock, and seasoning's, and :bake in the oven as a Port of loaf or spudding (the Italian bucldno).

Matt. 26. 47-68. Golden Text, Isa. 53.7. • Verse 57. Where the scribes and the elders were gathered together —The 'Sanhedrin did not meet at night. But the scribes and elders were not going to take any chances on losing Jesus. As soon as they send their officers to • apprehend Jesusthey themselves go to •their aseemibly place to hurry through as quickly as possible hie condemna- tion and execution. The world was asleep. They could :act quietly with no fear of the populace inter- ceding in Jesus's !behalf. 58, Peter was more courageous than the other disciples, but there was a great deal of caution in his courage. He followed hien afar off, near enough to see where he was taken, ,but far enough not to get into any personal danger. He want- ed to see the end. This doubtless was an honest curiosity. He felt that all was up with Jesus as soon as the officers led him away by force. There was nothing Peter could do. He intended, however, to see what was done to Jesus. 59. ,Souughb false ;witness — It 'was evident to the leaders of the Jews that they had no evidence against Jesus. There' was none for his ar- rest to say nothing of his execu- tion. One would expeot to see the chief .priests sitting quietly to hear the evidence which the accusers .of Jesus would have to present against him ; for they were a court Of law sitting as judges. However, not only they, but the whole coun- cil, sought ,false witness against Jesus. Imagine these men stepping down' from their high places and without dignity going about among the spectators trying to secure evi- dence against Jesus. As they brib- ed Judas to betray Jesus, they would not stop ab paying for any kind of incriminating evidence. 60, 61. They found it nob, though many false 'witnesses came — None were able to falsify plausibly. Afterward, when the chief priests and elders and all the council were at their wits end to find some sort of evidence against Jesus, casae two and said, How long they had to be labored with to trurm> up testimony and what inducements were made them we do nob know. But the temptation to imagine The worab is great. 61. This man said --The most the two false 'witnesses could adduec seas a suppoeed etabement, which even the high priest and scribes saw immediately was nob material or relevant. They also saw„ doubt- less, that the destruction of the temple and ibs rebuilding in three days 'had a spiritual as well as a facbual interpretation, and that if they pressed this testimony against Jesus, and he shoubcl say he had re• ference to the spiritual temple, he would thereby make complete an- swer to the charge and clear him- self, 69. Jesus sew the .predicament of the high priesb, :Che latter stood up, Ho could not remain seated. He must make something oiit of this testimony or the crowd would see his discomfiture. Answerest thou nothing ?Little hope Was: to make Jesus incriminate 'himself. What is ib which these • witness against thee1--He knew that the testimony Will CH 'TWIN? An Englishman Eulogizes the Irish Peasant Lover, adTephet Iiearaxeainn gisatlndradcutriosindly Nano tonguet•ean equal his in varied and pw,tureeque denumenciatlon of an enemy; none can ;so irresistibly wheedle a eweisbheart. True, the' English of en earlier generation, crude and tongue-tied lovers who never kissed the Blarney stone, were wont to proclaim the Irish- man as fickle as he was fascinating. But that ancient calumny scarcely survives to -day; it is an English- man, Mr. E. K. Oakley, who in a recent article an "Irish Court ships,' eulogizes appreciatingly the superiority of the Irish peasant lover, with his play of wit and fan- cy, in comparison with the stolid stupidity of the English rustic wooer, or the cheap sophistication of the cockney'Arry and'Arriet. Even in the disconcerting mo- ment of rejection, the Irishman re- tires with grace --sometimes with a grace that terns defeat to victory. Through a hawthorn hedge in May, Mr. Oakley had 'the eavesdropper's guilty pleasure of overhearing an idyl in the lane on the farther side. Maureen had evidently just said ne to Shaun. "(Visine, thin, if it must be it must, and if ye won't ye won't," he mourned, "'but, och, Maureen +acushla, why wasn't ye born twins, so that I cud have bad the half of ye?" • "And if it's twine I was, ye cud that," conceded Maureen, sympa- thetically, "for river wud the one of me be giving ye the go-by, ex- eipt for Ti'msy Flaherty that's com- ing back the week with expecta- tions, as well ye know." - "Tahrue for ye, thin, it's on'y the half of twins ye are 1" sighed Shaun. "'Twos by the will of hivin, and ye'd nothin' to do wid the mabther; but, Maureen, asthore, tis yersilf and not hivin has the deciding which twin ye'll be.L'ave Timsy expict his expictations fr'sn tether wan, and thin Pave yersilf spake a worrd to me, wid the sound there'd be in it if Timsy was out of it intirely." "It wid still be no,"protested Maureen, but not very strenuously. "No, l'ave it be, and as many more noes of the same pattherzn as ye can lay yer •swate tongue to," agreed Shaun, "for 'tis 'a man wid square ears on him wud 'be .able to be sure they was not yes. I am roti" His ingenuity and persistency had their reward, and the eavesdreipper escaped during the ecstatic flurry consequent upon Maureen's surren- der. "I could not regret the experi- ence," Mr. Oakley concludes, "but I felt myself treated not quite fair- ly by a fate that confided so much, yet withheld the rest. I never learned how complaisant or other- wise Shaun's rival proved in the matter of transferring his `expiota- tione' to the non-existent twin. Poor Timsy 1" was worthless. His question, 'how- ever, might lead the onlookers to place some weight upon the charge made against Jesus. 03. But Jesus held his peace — There was no reason why Jesus should speak, The high ,priest knew this as well. as Jesus, He, there- fore, turns to Jesus with a question which had nothing whatever to do with tale testimony of the false wit- ness. I adjure: thee by the living God It was not lawful for the Jew to take an oath, But the extremity of the 'high priest was great. That thou tell us -whebher thou art the 'Christ, the Son of God It was on this charge that Jesus was, to be executed. As no testimony could be trumped up on this point, the high priest himself takes the in- itiative 64. Thou 'hast said --These words indicate an affirmation of the high priesb's question ej ..T,het;e was no need for Jests to'say anybhing fur- ther. B'u't lie did not want to leave anyone in doubt as to his claims. Therefore he adds, nevertheless (al- though you have stated the fact) I (also) say'unto you, Henceforth ye shall see (me) the' Son of znan sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 65. (tent his garments—The plu- ral is used in the original text be- cause •according to the eabbinical rule all of the garments, the nether as well as the upper, were to be torn. This was the proper sign fax holy men to show that they were shocked at (blasphemy. He habh spoken blasphemy—Note now that the evidence which is to .be used against Jesus comes from the mis- interpretation by the high priest of the 'words Jesus spoke. Well might he say, What further need have we of witnesses? 'These words indicate that all of the false wit nesses, even the two who caane at last, could bring nothing valid against Jesus.. There was still fur- ther need of witnesses. But now that there was opportunity bo mis- construe Jesus's words and turn them back upon himself, the leaders could discontinue their •search for witnesses. What a relief this must have been for them l 66. What think ye? -01 course the high -priest would 'turn to the crowd. He would play upon the sympabhiee, and arouse the pre- judices of the onlookers. But one is warr.aeted in asking; Was' the crowd or bhe :Sanhedrin to try and condemn Jesus? They answered and said, He is worthy of death — The high priest could safely eountt on the crowd, He had humored ib and touched its vanity by his direct question. The penalt of blasphemy was death (Lev. 24. 16) and also of being a false prophet (Dent. 18.90). 67. Then did they spit in his face -How often are prisoners treated with indignity! Buffet hinn—:Stiiuek him onthe neck with the hollow of the hand to make a noise. :Smote him means they strnck hien in the face. The leaders of the church doubtless felt safe when they had the crowd with ?them. They were perfectly ready, it seems, to let Jesus he subjected to all sorts of raillery and indignity. 3i Willis—"Pnbting a pin in apes•• son's chair is an old jukce•" Wal- latce-•-"Yes; 'blit it hasn't lost: its point yet !" i' another tallcin Walter found his utem g to. a, portly •lady, ,, Walter, said Ma, his a, "this is your ,great aunt.

The city is full of women who force their lips to a patriotism their souls reject.
