Exeter Advocate, 1906-5-10, Page 2NOTES AND COMMENTS
The new columns of the press, of the
Whole civilized world are replete with
tonvineing ervidence of the fact that the
greatest lesson of the San Francisco
catastrophe has been instinctively felt
and acted upon. •That lesson is. the
sondes*, the brotherhood of man, The
dire calaniities of nature are calculated
to give man an'actite sense of his insig-
nificance and helplessness in the pre-
sence of eleniental force. Seientisls es -
biotite the loss of life from earthquakes
and attendant disturbances during the
last nineteen eenturie.s at about 2,000-
000 persons, while the loss of wealth is
beyond computation. But who can esti-
nate the amount of moral ana social
bencflt which the pity and sympathy
and generosity excited by the visitations
have permanently yielded to mankind?
We cannot control nature; we can but
adapt ourselves to her laws and condi-
tions. 13ut we ean do infinitely more
than we have yet done to banish Un-
necessary suffering from society, to
equelize opportunities and to base our
institutions on the principle of human
equality and fraternity. Seers and
ethical teachers of all ages have dwelt
upon the ennobling effect of sorrow, the
wholesomeness of the discipline that
lies in trial and suffering. If private
bereavement can do much to make one
more thoughtful, gentler, kinder,
worthier of the humanity in us, how
much niore impressive and lasting
should be the humanizing influence of a
calamity that cruelly affects several
hundmo thousand men, women and
children. The spontaneous relief con-
tributions ana offers that are pouring in
from every quarter will give courage
and strength to the stricken San Fran-
ciscaria, but they may prove, at bottom.
even more blessed to those that make
them than to those that receive them,
The modernizer of Mexico is Porfirio
Diaz. salad a quarter of a century ago
was a loosely linked federation he has
transformed into one of The strongest
and most highly centralized govern-
ments in the world. The great power
that has been placed in the hands of
this remarkable ruler he has wisely
used in a paternal spirit for the good of
all classes of Mexican citizens. Rail-
ways and telegraphs penetrating every
part of the republic; rapid transit, popu-
lar education, and a strict vigilance
exercised over the states have trans-
figured Mexico. The elimination of the
professional politician and the dema-
gogue, and the enlistment of every mart
of energy and intelligence have assisted
in the modernization. Lawyers of emi-
nence, bankers, educators, engineers
have been* sought out and utilized.
The lightning flashes of the human
body, the electric currents that flow
through the nervous system are being
measured by Herr Einthoven of Ger-
many. He has invented an extremely
sensitive galvanometer, whereby he has
measured the electricity of the human
body. The instrument, which can mea-
sure the millionth part of an ampere,
consists of a silvered quartz. fiber
stretched between the poles of a strong
electro -magnet. When the faintest cur-
rent passes through this fiber it moves
in the direction of the lines of the mag-
netic field, and the movement can be
detected and directly measured by a
microscope, or it can be recorded
through photography. The new instru-
ment may be used to study the current
of electricity that flows through the
human nerves. The action of the heart
has already been measured by Lipp-
mann's electro -capillary instrument. It
is well known that the muscular con-
tractions in the beating of the heart
produce variations in the electric resis-
tance of this organ; this was determined
by Weller in 1808. Einthoven claims
now to have detected electrie waves
which correspond to the beating of the
heart, and proved that the electric phe-
nomena vary with every beat. The
waves are similar in form to those of
the cardiograph, invented by file late
Prof. Marcy, and were detected by the
use or ,photography. Perbaps after a
-airline Herr Einthoven will be photo-
graphing the winnings of a fretful baby.

iv. 23.
The soul hungers for companionship
and cannot live witheth it. When any-
one is inclined to tvithdraw from the
society of ids fellow men, when he
shuns his family, :Mends and the world,
we feel that he is becoming abnormal.
There lurks a feeling in tbe human.
breast that attaches us to a pet animal,
a favorite flower or landscape, that
Makes us prefer' one being to another;
that tills us with pity for the suffering
and the weak, with admiration for the
hero, with love for home, our neighbor-
hood, our city, our country. Sentiment
miles the greater part of our lives, It
conditions our thoughts and actions,
makes the difference between one per-
son and another, creates interest and
entehusiasm for one person and one
cause in preference to another. What is
this mysterious element of the soul? Is
it • magnetism, personality, charm,
amiability? Is it, perhaps, 'divinity,
seeking expression through man?
Sentiment, truly, is everything. It
paints the best pictures, writes the best
books and plays. It gives that "touch
of human nature that makes all the
world kin."
THE BUSY THRONG,
hurrying on in the mad rush of ambi-
tion, stops for a moment to comfort a
crying babe that has lost its Wily or to
ant some ,poor blind man tottering help-
lessly. Napoleon stopped in his march
to battle to turn over a turtle that was
struggling on its back on the. roadside.

master minds of the world have been
born of great love orintense hate.
Moses, the shepherd, becomes a re-
deemer of men at sight of tee burning

The expense of the heart. Mental cul-
ture has repressed the emotions so long
that the heart has become atrophied.
Business is reduced to a cold science of
supply and demand. Polities is a
scramble for office and spoils. Society
is a series of formal entrances and
exits. Groups are formed to be broken
up, friendships • cemented to. be dis-
solved, marriages contracted to be
severed,
FIRE ONLY CAN WELD STEEL.
So only the fire of love can weld hearts.
Only the flame of human eentiment can
drive out the various activities (it mo-
dern life and selfish coldness that chills
every endeavor. •
But sentiment cannot be taught. It is
spread not through precept, but through
the contagion of example. The water
sheds of a country are on the hills or
mountain tops. There the waters di-
vide and flow thence down to the val-
leys below.
The homes are the first sources of
right living. Influences that there are
generated pervade the various members.
Tbe great men and -women of a coun-
try are its moral water sheds. If the
great leaders of the nation will cherish
the senliment that makes for h love of
the true, the beautiful and the good; if
they will listen to • the feeling that
prompts man to love his fellow men, to
do justice and humbly bow before God,
then that sentiment will distill through
the various layers of .society, will trans-
form politics and business with the
wand of love, into centres of activity
for the conunon welfare, and so regen-
erate society as to bring nearer the day
of universal brotherhood.

SOME DAINTY RECIPES.
Chicken Patties.—Have read/ six or
more patty -cases of puff pastry. Put
half a pint of white sauce in a sauce-
pan, add to it six ounces of chopped
chicken, two ounces of chopped ham,
and three or four chopped. mushrooms.
Stir these over the Ike till they are hot
'through. Well beat the yolks of two
eggs, add to them two tablespoonfuls
ofcream or milk, then a.dd these to Me
mixture. Stir it over the fire for a min-
ute or ttvo to cook the egg, but, on no
account let it boil, or the egg will cur-
dle. Season the mixture nicely. Fill in
the patty -cases carefully—they should
first be heated through in the oven—
put on the little tops, arrange the pat-
ties on a lace paper, and garnish with
nice sprigs of watercress.
Baked Eggs.—Butter a French fire-
proof china baking dish, liberally and
pour a layer of tomato puree (or catsup)
into it; then break one new -laid egg at
a time into a small cup, and carefully
slip it into the dish until the required
number have been put in. Season the
eggs with salt, pepper, awl nutmeg.
Hominy WaMes.—Acld one pint cf
cooked hominy to a batter made of two
cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful baking
powder, one and one-fourth cupfuls
milk, one tablespoonful melted butter,
one-half teaspoonful salt, three eggs
beaten separately. Run through a
coarse sieve and bake in hot, greased
waffle iron.
To roast almonds.—No better way to
roast almonds for salting has been dis-
covered than putting them in a corn -
popper over a hot fire.
Omelet with Green Peas.—Beat six
eggs lightly, the whites and yolks sepa-
rately; then mix lightly together and
elir in ee cupful of cold couirecl green
peas. Season with salt and pepper, and
turn into a buttered omelet pan. Fold
when set and seree 'with a garnish of
crisped lettuce.
Salt rising bread is n.ol, difficult to
make. Put into a two -quart pitcher a
pint of hot water, and stir in a scant
half -tablespoonful of salt. Let it cool,
than add. three-quarters of a pint of
flour. Mix well, and set the pitcher in
an outer vessel of water of the same
temperature as that used in mixing.
Let it stand where the temperature of
the water in the outer vessel will not,
change until the batter has risen to
twice its original bulk. Tbis tvill be in
from five to eight hours, and during
that time the batter must be stirred once
or twice. At the end of the time add a
sponge made of two and one-half quarts
of flour and one quart of hot water. 'If
a little more flour is necessary to make
a soft dough IL may be added. Mix
well and leave in a warm place to rise.
When light, forrn into two loaves, keep-
ing the dough as son as it can be
handled. Lay the loaves in buttered
tins,large enough to permit them to
swell, and after they have risen once,
priek with a fork and bake,
Vienna Rolls.—The real Vienna roll
with the fine crusty finish, whichcan
be bought in an large cities, is linpos-
sible to make in the home kitchen.
While the recipe foe propertions, etc,
can be given, me peculiarly line, crisp
crustiness is attained by the use of
superheated steam dining baking. At
a certain step of baking This steam is
inieelell into theepteS1 frren a tube con -
sleeted the boilers keg at it high
pressure; the resifit is a glaze and Ilnieh
Ileit no ordinary oven can imitate.
Also bakers who make these rolls a
spreally havo on hand al, least fi dozen
different kinds of choice flours of var-
ious kinds of mullings, mid from two in
111010 va Hellas are 11seri, according to
the special formula of the bakery. The
best Imitation we 'women can imam -
pasts in our kitchens is as follows
To one pint or luketvarna water add'
one tablespoonful of salt, one scant tea-
spoonful of sugar (to replace the natural
sweetness of the wheat) and one yeast
cake dissolved in a few spoonfuls of
ttie water. Add sifted bread flour to
make zi thick batter; beat hard, cover
and set aside in a warm place until
very light and spongy. Now add more
flour to make a dough, which is neither
very soft nor very stiff; take out on the
board and knead until elastic, and vel-
vety to the touch, using no more flour
than is absolutely necessary to keep the
dough from adhering to the board. Re-
turn to the bowl, cover, and keep warm
until the dough has doubled in size. lf
not exposed to chill or drafts this 'will
not take more than two or three hours,
as the .amount of yeast used is consi-
derable. Mold into rolls, using fine
while cornmeal on the board instead of
flour. Place several inches apart on
pans sprinkled with the meal instead of
greasing (however, if you find the dangle
persistently adherent, the pans may be
very slightly greased; in bakeries the
rolls are laid on the brick floor of the
oven). Brush the tops with water, cover
and let rise. Slash each roll three times
with a 1mile having a keen, thin blade;
brush again with water and bake in a
quick oven.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Coffee and tea stains, if rubbed with
butter and afterwards washed in hot
soapsuds, will come out, leaving the
table linen quite white and fresh.
To Renovate Leather.—Take two parts
of linseed oil and one part of vinegar,
shake well together. Pour a very little
on a clean flannel, rub well into the
leather, and polish with soft dusters till
every vestige of oil is removed. This
gives it an appearance as good as new.
A Home -Made Barometer.—A simple
barometer that crin be made for oneself,
and which, though old, may be new to
some, is made as follows: Two drams
°fie camphor, half -dram of pure salt -
pelt e, half -dram of muriate of ammonia,
and 2oz. oft proof spirits, in a glass tube
or narrow phial, will make a very good
weather guide. In dry weather the solu-
tion will remain clear. ein The approach
of change minute stars will rise up in
the liquid, while stormy weather will be
indicated by the very disturbed condi-
tion of the chemical combination.
When Cleaning Saucepans. -11 you
use cleaning powders for saucepans; be
sure to wash out the pan afterwards
with cold water. The best way of clean-
ing saucepans is to use plenty of hot
water and a rough cloth. For greasy
saucepans use dry kitchen salt.
Bad odors.—To remove bad odors
from a room, burn a piece of dried
orange. peel on a hot shovel or old tin.
The odor will disappear, leaving a plea-
sant one ill its place. Burned coffee is

to reason that soup is going to infirm the
varnish and the finish, On a farm where
there is plenty of milk, a cloth tvrung
out of skim milk is The best means of
taking up the dust, and brightening the
linoleum, Where milk is scarce, or
needed for food, use lukewarm water,
to which has been added half a cupful
of kerosene oil or some good furniture
polish. Wring the cloth rather dry
from this, and go over the linoleum
after sweeping, and it will be quite new
and bright, and the finish uninjured.

and linoleum as -though it were a bare
floor; it is dusty rather than dirty,
since everything remains on the top, and
for this reason a clean cloth slightly
damp is all that is necessary.".

LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Note.—The text of the Revised Version

Studies.
Stilling the Tempest. The group of
parables spoken by Jesus on that mem-
orable day at the seaside near Caper-
naum is reported in part only by each
of the synoptic evangelists. Matthew
reports seven of the group, omitting'
the parable of the growth of the seed
recorded only in Mark. Mark ecords,
in addition to the one just mentioned,
the parable of the sower and the parable
of the mustard seed, both of which, in
addition to the parable of the leaven,
are,, recorded also in Luke. Mark, in
verse 33 of the fourth chapter, at the
conclusion of his record of this day's
-teaching by the seaside, adds "And with
many such parables spoke he the word
unto them." We are left in doubt, how-
ever, as to. whether Mark refers in. these
words simply to. those parables recorded
in Matthew but not recorded by him-
self, or whether we are to assume that
Jesus at that time spoke still other par-
ables not recorded by any evangelist.
When at last the busy day was .ended
Jesus suggested to his disciples that they
cross over to the other side of the lake.
This they did without even wailing to
the city or to pease for rest and refresh-
ment.. In their -passage over ,they en-
counter a, great storm, so great that the
sinking of their little craft seemed im-
minent. But, worn outby his day's
labor, Jesus slept aealmly in the midst
of the storm, until finally he anxious
disciples awakened him and pleaded
with•him to rescue them from the peril
in which they stood. A single word of
calm command to wind and sea and all
was still. Mark records the gentle re-
buke of Jesus to his disciples for their
fearfulness and closes his account of
the wonderful event with the words
"And they feared exceedingly, and said
one to another, Who then is this,. that
even the wind and the sea obey him?"
At this point in Mark's narrative our
preeent lesson begins:
Verse 1. To the other side --To the
eastern shore of the lake about opposite
Capernaum.
Gerasenes—Ancient manuscripts differ
in the spelling of the proper name here
used, though the preferred readieg in
this narrative of Mark, and also in that
of Luke, seems to be the oneadopted
by the Revised Version. Most of the
ancient manuscripts of Matthew's gos-
pel, however, read Gadarenes, as do
also some manuscripts of Mark and•
Luke. (Comp. Authorized Version and
Revised Version of Matt. 8, 28; Mark
5. 1; and Luke 8. 26).
Gersa, or Kersa, from which comes
the proper noun: Gerasenes, was a city
on the east side and almost half way
down from. the northern extremity of
the sea of Galilee, a little more than a
mile from the shore. The shore at this
point is very narrow, a steep Slope lead-
ing almost abruptly from the high table-
land to the water's edge. A small heap
of ruins .at the foot of the slope bears
the same name as the ruins of the city
on the table -land above. Gadara, on the
other hand, was a city six miles south-
east of the sea of Galilee, and south of
the Yarmule, or Hierornax gorge, in
ancient times a city of great importance
and one of the principal cities of the.
Decapolis (Comp. Ver. 20.) Since Ga -
dare was doubtless much better known
thanaGersa. It is quite possible that the
name Gadarenes was later substituted
Lor the very. similar though less familiar
name Gerasenes, the change first being
made by some copyist outside of Pelee -
tine who knew of (Mara but not of
Gersa. When we remember how Oen
the manuscripts of our gospels were
copied and recopied during the many
centuries preceding the Invention of
printing the wonder is that more copy-

MAN'S WEAKER HALF.
One Side ot His Body Always Stronger
Than the Other..
The popular belief is that the left sid'e
is weaker than the right, and, as in all
popular beliefs, there i$ anuch truthein
this. In most cases. says the Grand
Magazine, the right arm is decidedly
stronger than the left, the bones are
larger and the muscles more vigorous.
When we come to consider the lower
limbs, however, we find a precisely op-
posite state of affairs; the left leg is
stronger than the right in the great ma-
jority of cases. This want of synunetry
is noticeable all -through the body. Nine
times out of ten we see better with one
eye than with the other, and hear bet-
ter with the left than the right
ear, or vice versa.
Not only so, an injury to the body—
a burn or a cut, for instance—causes
more pain on one side than it would
were it inflicted on the other. Even dis-
eases attack one side on their first onset
in preference to the other. Eczema,
varicose veins, sciatica, and even tub-
erculosis begin, invariably, to .-mani-
fest themselves on our, weaker side. A
blistering plaster, too, will provoke an
eruption only if applied to the right
vide of certain individuals; in others,
cnly if applied to the left side.
"The simplest way, apparently, ef
discovering which is our weaker side is
to observe which side we lie upon 1 y
preference when in bed, as it is cer-
tain that we will instinctively adopt the
altitude which is most agreeable, or, ra-
ther, which causes the least inconveni-
ence; itt other words, we will lie upon
the side the muscles of which, being
more vigorous, are less sensible to the
pressure upon them of the weight of
the body.
Statistics and observation go to prove
that itt about three cases out of four it
is the left side which is the weaker,
thus giving reason to The popular dic-
tum. Curiously enough, however, pneu-
monia, it has been noticed, unlike most
diseases, usually attacks at first the
right—that. is to' say, the stronger side
of the body.

THE APOSTLES' TEACHING.
•
An Irish Farmer Is Causing a Stir in
Somerset.
Exciting scenes have marked the ap-
pearance of an itinerant preacher in
South Brewharn, a straggling village in
Somerset, near Britton, England, whose
work has caused resent.ment •among
some' of the rougher spirits of the vil-
lage.' The climax was reached when,
es some of his converts were leaving
the meeting place, they were pelted with
eggs, stones, and other missiles. Sev-
eral ladies were hurt, and one man was
rendered uncooscions. The preacher
was also injured, and had to con-
veyed home.
The preacher, Gillby name, has 're -
kited some interesting details regarding
himself. .1 -le was at one time a prosper-
ous farmer in County Meath, Ireland,
but coming under the influence of a
Scottish preacher, edecided to distribute
all his worldly possessions among the
poor and devote himself to religious'
work.
He is now entirely without money,
and at South Brewham is living in a
cottage which has been placed at his
disposal free of charge. He makes no
collections at his meetings, and relies
for sustenance on the voluntary gifts of
'those who have come under his in-
fluence. His meetings are being held at
the village Mn, where the landlord has
given him a welcome. ,
Mr. Gill stales that be is riot attached

rolled, and the sleeves of elbow length
and fluffy—these are the 1906 require-
ments, of the lingerie blouse.
Valenciennes lace, of the German va-
riety; and the French =chilies, in
widths varying from a half inch 10
even two -Inch widths are circled around
delicate clusters of hand wrought flower
'embroideries, forming medallioned mo -
soft, sheer lawn or Mull
bodies.
For
Lite
For the woman not particularly deft
with the needle, there are shown exqui-
site machine made embroderies, so
cleverly imitative of, the French or Jap -
arms° hand work that none but an ex-
pert would note 'The difference, and these
are being made up 'into blouses quite as
effective and far less expensive than the
strictly hand made.
These erebroidereies arc shown in
combination of English eyelet and
solid work patterns so arranged that
they may be easily separated for work-
ing into medallion shapee. They are
used more than any other form of trim-
ming and will be seen upon many a
delicate hand made waist framed with
beiiitesuopfilaten,atshe lace ruffled or in Rich -
A model that well indicates latest
tendencies has a pointed lace yoke
formed of four rows of inch wide Va-
lenciennes lace insertion separated
through its centre by a single vertical
band of the insertion reaching from col -
ler to waistband; below the yoke this
insertion is supplemented on each icre
by parallelled clusters of tucks and flut-
ings of lace joined to the waist founda-
tion of allover embroidered mull by a
narrow curved application of white lace
braid. It will be 'noted that the yoke
is the simplest portion of this waist, the
greater part of the •trimming appearing
on the body portion and sleeves. •
This fact is. illustrated even mare
strongly upon the bloused portion . of
another waist made entirely of heavy
allover embroidery introducing Irish
medallions, attached to the, round yoke
of allover Valenciennes lace by rows et .
tiny vertical tucks.
Another method of using embroidery
insertions is to outline the curved mo-
tifs with aiightly fulled ruffles of nar-
row lace, allowing the fullness. to de-
ct ease- as the strips approach either the
necks or waist bands. The soft, hod -
font effect. of puffed sleeves is effect-
ively increased by such ruffle applica-
tions.
A new method of employing embroid-
ery patterns consists in .outlining them
with while or colored floe braid,s, which
mark the pattern with telling effect,
especially if associated with other
trimmings of baby Irish or Cluny lace.
All lace waists continue in favor and
are shown in intricate combinations ot
net, Lierrs, Cluny and point Verne('
lace medallions and insertions. One
with a foundation of white net showed
this body material in Spots only. The
cellar formed the nucleus for a ser-
ifs of radiating point Venise and Lierre
lace medallions, these joined together
with insertions of Cluny and baby Irish
Ince. The sleeves, reaching to ille el-
bow, had pretty tops puffed and sup-
ported by inner lawn caps run with
rods of feetherbone. The wide barals
alcove the bend of the elbow were form-
ed of nine rows of ruffled Valenciennes
lace with a double lace edged flounce
of net to deflne the sleeve edge.
These dressy waists are considered
quite the correct accompainment for
jaunty little deeni-tailored street suits
now being Worn, and are especially ap-
propriate with the, short -coated suits of
white, pale blue or hairline striped
English mohair and lightweight suit-
ings. As almost all of these suits are
made with short sieves, the waist will
have sleeves of corresponding length,
although later, when the coat is dis-
carded, and one ''of the long sleeved
blouses showin g handsome lace inaert-
ed cuffs will be found quite correct; in-
deed the shape are showing little par-
t:play between tlse long ence the short
sleeves, which is news the too slender
armed women will hail with joy.
These waists. fluffy and frivolous, le-
mand harmonimis girdles and access-
ories. Handsomely embossed or embroi-
dered ribbons, shirred or buckled, ere
exceedingly smart and effective for this
.aurpose. In one very swell shop, a
girdle of pink satin ribbon had its long
cash ons curved and appliqued with
five rowe of narrow rualled ribbon.
Doubtless the girl that .seleets that
dainty ansh girdle fte the value
(1 knotting her elbow frills with rib-
bons to match, as is the custom among
Southern women.
But these ribbon girdles and frilly
waists don't do foe the tailor-made
!irl. While in the' minority' this year,
'tie. is still a factor and hes conceded
quite a few of her primpets in that she
aecepts her summer with lingerie innoe.
