TOere are two ways of' preparing, green peppers tot the table as a vege- table. Select for this purpose sweet SpanieO peppers. Tais is a pepper . limiter 'te the old-fashioned, boll -nos- . ed toiler, aot it is ierger 'and milder in flavor. It is usect green, both to serve as a Muffed aegetable and for stuffed pickles or " mangoes." A simple: and Satiefentory way to 'prepare these pickles as a vegeteble, 30 to ohm& them in ,hot water and :let them simmer for about sten min - lutes. Drain them, .cut off the steins, • eut a dice out of the sten end, and t.scoop out the seeeli and amide of the i peppers. atuff . the peppers with good towage meat, or prepare a forcemeat ,qi leap aeel.and fat pmak,satianitout the :proportion of Ope-quarter pound of fat :slain pork and ' three-quartera of,A. a !pound of lean Neel ell ground togetha :•er.

A fair 'substitute 'for -a Spanieh sauce may Oe made a et good beef extract, well seasoned ;with vegetables. Pry two chopped slices of carrots, one of onion, a bay leaf, a stalk of celery, a sprig of parsley and one of thyme, all shopped together and well mixed. Fry with the vegetables a small. teaspoon- ful of ham; stir. in a tablespoonful of flour, and add gradually a pint of stock made from two tablespoonfuls of beef, mixed with boiling water. Lathe sauce simmer slowly for about an hour, and at the end of that time strain it, and . it is ready to serve around the peppers. The peppers may be boiled, stuffed or baked, and May be served without any sauce. Ctit off the stetas, and•take out the seeds and the inside. After this, pat the peppers ,in boiling water, and let them boil fifteen minutes. Eight good-sized sweet peppers will re- quire aboutt hree cupfuls of stuffing. Take a pint' of cooked meat, °hopped „fine; veal' or chicke,n is better 'than ,anything else for the purpose. A ,naixture of half roast chicken and half • veal is good; Add Oa the chopped meat ;a oupful of soft bread -crumbs. Moisten tthe whole with tt. cupful of stook or 'one of water. It wetter is used melt an it a teaspoonful of beef extract ; :season the fereemeat with an even teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of tpepper, half a teaspoonful of summer savory and of thyme, and half a tea- spoonfu.1 of ave. Do not replace the covers on the peppers, but sprinkle fine bread crumbs over them, at the end where the stuffing is exposed, and add bits of butter. Put the peppers on a buttered pan and let them bake about fifteen minutes, or until • well ibrowned. Serve these peppers with a ooast of 'beef, or with chicken.

All the old warieties of peppers , were fiery in quanta after they had ripened. Even: the -sweet mountain pepper becomes too hot for cOmfort after at turns red, and is awlays cooked when green. Some- times a dash of flavor is 'given by a single. pepper chopped -fine and added to a Piquant:stew or soup, and a sweet mountain pepper is chosen 'for this 1111111t1)0130.

Writing is supposed to have been but recently introduced in- to the Persian empire, and it is pro- bable that this. proelametion was is- sued in both Persia.n and Chatdean. copies of it were given to couriers who rode on fleet steeds from city to °ay to the' remotest points of the empire, 2. Here comes the proclamation; and it does not take away from its force to discover that its phraseology and form are Hebraic rather than Persian. What we have here is eviclently the Hebrew transcript' of the decree. • Taus saith Cyrus king of Persia.• With sOme similarity the famous Behistum in- :scription begins, "I am Darius the great king, the king of kings, the king of Persia... The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth. This sentence is remarkable in many ways.. "God of heaven" was a reeognized title of the Supreme Be- teg among the Persians, who, as we have already seen,. believed that the moral universe •was dual,and that there was. a °god of the infernal regions hard- ly less powerful than the heavenly god. "The Lord" here, as always when printed in small capitals, stands for Jehovah, the Hebrew name for the supa reme divinity; not Ormuzd, which name Cyrus would doubtless use in direct communication with his own people. A striking contrast is made between the God of heaven and • the kingdoms of the earth Which that god bestows upon his thosep ones. Such reverences as this, such disposition to refer to the inpreme God as the giver of earthily power, is usual in the royal proclamation of e'ersia, The pow- er that Cyrus Inherited was small compared with the majestic empire whicla God had built up for him "by.the conqueat of neighboring kingdoms. Cyrus is called, in Isa.45, tbe attriointed of Jehovah," and Is giv- en God's :promise to subdue nations; and open doors, and make rugged places plain before him, to destroy doors of brasi3 and bars of iron and bring forth the 'treasures of dakness and the bidder' riches of, secret places, so- that Cyrus may know that Jehovah :is rbe supreme God. He hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem. wh.at form this charge came we do not certainty know. It3a. 44.28 .quotes God aa eaying .of Cyrus, "He is my shepherd, and shell perform all my pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, Thou ehalt be built ; and to the tem- ple, Thy foundation shall be laid." The precise date of this remarkable sentence we cannot give, but, it is .generally assumed that it had been shown in writing to Cyrus, and that fie accepted it as a command. Cer- tainly without his support the temple could not at this time have been built. The phrase, whkh is in Judah, here and in verse 3, points to the small re- lative. importance of the ruined capi- 3. Who is there among yOut of all his people. That is, of all the wok- shipers of Jehovah.

Build the house of the Lord. God of Israel. The auth- orization and much of the treasure nee - emery to build the temple comes from Cyrus; the work and the responsibility for details rest neon the returning Jews. He is the God, which is in Jer- usalem. The Revised -Version omita the artiole before -God, as if Cyrus here vputhes for the divinity.of Jehovah% The Greek version, Septuagint, and the Latin, yulgate, do not throw this clause into parenthetic form, but make it read, "He is the Gad who Is in Xern- salern.v Hardly enough 'is known of Cyrus, apart from this brief record, to jostify a positive statement as to Whieh he intended to say, , 4.
