Even when you are merely using up left -overs, it sets you off as a clever cook. A souffle's not so hard to achieve, either, once you get the idea. • Try a potato souffle, done with cheese. We had it one evening with broiled lamb chops, stewed tomatoes, and cottage pudding with maple sauce. * * +r. Bake Long and Slowly Fora souffle, whites and yolks of eggs must be beaten separately, the yolks with a rotary beater until thick and lemon colored and the whites on d platter with a wire whisk until stiff. It's just as necessary to beat the yolks thoroughly, as the whites. Be sure to fold the whites into the yolk mixture carefully. The fluffy texture of the finished souffle de; pends upon this folding which pre. vents the breaking of the air bubbles in the egg whites. Long slow baking is one of the secrets of souffle making, too. Forty to fifty minutes in an average bak- ing dish should be allowed for bak- ing at a temperature of 350 degrees F. When firm to the touch the .souffle is done. * Potato Cheese Souffle Two cups mashed potatoes, 1 cup grated cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1-3 cup milks, 2 eggs, % tea- spoon salt, — teaspoon white pep- per, 3S teaspoon mustard. Mix grated cheese thoroughly with potato. Add milli: and melted butter and seasonings and beat with a slotted spoon until smooth. Add yolks of eggs well beaten (until thick and lemon colored) and fold in whites beaten until stiff. Turn into a well buttered baking dish and bake forty minutes in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) Serve from baking dish. This fish souffle makes a delicious luncheon served with a 'creamed vegetable or Hollandaise sauce. * * * Fish Souffle One cup flaked 6,4,_2..eggc,-.3.• cup soft stale bred crumbs, % cup cream, ?t: teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ? teaspoon pepper. Force fish through a coarse sieve or ricer. Combine cream and crumbs and cook, stirring constantly for five minutes. Add salt, pepper and parsley. Sprinkle lemon juice over fish and add to cooked crumbs. Add well beaten yolks of eggs and fold in whites beaten until stiff. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake forty minutes in a moderate oven, Serve from baking dish, TRY THESE Corn flakes and other ready -to -eat cereals are familiar to every house- wife, for they have become the most distinctive feature of the breakfast table. The fact that they can play a welcome and appetizing part in both the other two meals of the day is not, however, so widely recognized as it should be. During the dog days, few luncheon dishes will be found more refreshing than a bowl of corn flakes and milk with sliced, fresh fruits—and none is more easily or quickly prepared. The sante combination makes an ideal supper dish for the children, supply- ing an abundance of essential vita- mirs and mineral salts. The prepared cereals are also in- valuable as an ingredient for many .delicious cakes, cookies and other delicacies. To them, the crispy flavor of the cereals give an appeal that proves irresistable to family and guests.

Add vanilla. Drop on a 'Well 'greased baking sheet. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pans from oven, place a damp towel and remove macaroons immediately with a spatula or sharp knife. If macaro- ons become hardened to pan, they may be put in the oven for a few minutes to soften. A standard meas- uring tablespoon which has a round bowl may be used for shaping the macaroons, MAKING COPPICE One needs no particular charm, words or fussy gadgets to make a good cup of coffee, but one must use freshly roasted, freshly ground cof- fee of a pleasing blend and have an immaculately clean pot in which to make it. It is advisable to purchase coffee in small quantities, such as a week's supply at a time. And once it is in the home it should be kept in a tightly covered container to exclude air and retain the flavor. There are three methods by which coffee may be made: Drip or fil- tered; percolated; and boiled, and with each use enough coffee to make it sufficiently strong. The drip method is preferred by many because there is not the pos- sibility of "over -cooking" what with the boiling water only coming in contact with the measured coffee once. The. beans are finely ground for the drip method, and the water used must be madly boiling.

AIlow to stand 2 to 3 minutes before pouring and a beautifully clear cup should be the result. If cold water is used in the pump style of percolator, it will take 15 minutes for the first four cups and the one additional minute for each cup. Boiled coffee requires a coarser grind than does percolated. Mix the ground coffee with a little cold water, put in the pot and measure in the remainder of the water. Bring to a vigorous boil and cook for two minutes, Allow to settle, add 2 tab- lespoons cold water and strain. Many people like to add a little egg white or egg -shell.

Henrietta began life in the humble way on a farm in the neigh- berhood of Dublin. But a bird of her ability was bound to get on, and now she is a favored inmate at the Gasnevin Agricultural College, Dub- lin. Henrietta looks like a Rhode 'Island Red, but, as they say at the `college, you can't tell a hook by its r. Hewever, shortly they will more, for then some of the erieus eggs are going to hatch. ,Cynics remarks that in Chile there ' a breed of hen which lays blue egg's as a matter of course without getting any of the limelight attach- ing,. to Henrietta.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan were the heaviest exporters of barley, rye, wheat, oats, hay and straw to -the United States in that period, with Alberta and British Columbia sharing to a small extent. Figures were as follows: Barley, 265,87 bushels; rye, 1,136 bushels; wheat, 1,061,504 bushels; oats, 50,- 942 bushels; hay, 41,109 tons, and straw, 56,220 tons.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIMI; ---Moses, born in 1571 B.C., lived to be one hundred and twenty years of ago, and died, consequently, in 1451 B.C, The particular passage of this le,son falls in the year 1491 I3. C. PLACE—On Ift. Sinai, probably on Jebel Mouse. "And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which Jehovah bath spoken will we do" How easy, it was to take such a vow as this in the midst of the awful majestic splendor that had accompanied the giving of the law on Sinai! When the tremendous emotions of this occa- sion had passed away, Israel became guilty of breaking all the command- ments, "And Mozes wrote all the words of Jehovah." The origin of the first portion of Holy Scripture that ever existed as such, whatever earlier writings may now or afterwards have been incorporated in the Pentateuch. "And rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Cf. 17: 15; 20: 24. "And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt - offerings, and sacrificed peace -offer- ings of oxen unto Jehovah." There were yet no priests and there was as yet no provision for a sin offer- ing. "And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled ou the altar." Blood represents the life of an ani- mal and wherever it is offered in sacrifice in the Old Testament, it is so offered as a substitute for the life of man, which life man has for- feited by his sin, sin always being, in God's sight, punishable by death. "And he took the book of the cov- enant." Apparently the laws recor- ded in the previous four chapters. "And read in the audience of the people: andthey said, All that Je- hovah bath spoken will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the return in tho clouds of heaven (Mat 24: 30; 20: 04), "And the glory of Jehovah abode upon Mount Sinai,' and the cloud cov, erect it six days; and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. "And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah. was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel." The glory that was centred in that innermost shrine was perceived by the people; we may suppose much softened tai their vision by the envelope of cloud as the shining face of the reflection of it was afterwards covered with a veil; "And Moes entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mount; and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights." Moses) is called the lawgiver to the very close of his life (Dent, 43: 21), and a prophet, many centuries later, by Hosea (12: 13). No lawgiver of any age or any nation ever communicated to a people .such a code of funda- mental legislation as did Moses to Israel during the days that followed his communion with God on Mount Sinai, The Oriole's Nest (Calgary Herald) The oriole's nest is among the: most interesting in avian architec- ture.

"And Jehovah said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them. And Moses rose up, and Joshua, his min- ister; and Moses went up into the Mount of God. And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoso- ever bath a cause, let him come near unto them. From these words, what would seem to be the thought of Moses as he began bis ascent of the mountain? Why did not the invita- tion extend to all of the seventy. eid- ers? Dogs God speak with greater in- timacy to some servants of his than to others, and if so, why? "And Moses went up into the mount and the cloud covered the mount. Clouds first appear in God's covenant concerning the rainbow (Gen. 9: 13- 16). . The next time we hear of a cloud is when God leads the children of Israel by a pillar of cloud by day (Ex. 13; 21, 22; 14: 10, 20, 24). Later. a cloud rested, as it were, in the holy of holies (I, Kings 8: 10, 11). The Lord Jesus was received up into hea- ven in a cloud (Acts 1: 9), and will tact with civilization affords them. Sitting ' sentinel while the eggs are being hatched and jealously guard- ing his young fancily, the male oriole is equally striking in plumage or timbre of song. A cloak and cap of glossy black falls from head to tail while white spots and edgings trim his black wings.
