Yet, as in all tropical countries, the heat is nut opprrs-ive ia the shade, out of the dir.. t rays of the sun. Such a shade may be found "in the shadow of the great rock," which in mountainous sections juts cut from time to time fiom the sur- rounding barrenness. Such great rocks are always most welcome to the traveller. In the long shadows cast by them there is refreshment end rest. Often :1 SPRING OF PUREST WATER gushes from the rock. Vegetation flourishes in the rock's shadow. There is safety, too, in the caverns (f the rock against the sudden at- tack of marauders. So David sang "Thou are my rock and my hiding place." Safety, refreshment and ir.spiration are found "in the sha- dow of a great ruck in a weary land." An honorable than in business, in politics, in social life, is a great rock in the circle in which he moves, affording refuge, encourage- ment and inspiration. A man of t•cnor in business whose word is as good as his bond, who scorns trtrk- ery, who gives good measure, w h rsJ service is honest, whose work is lir to standard, is such a rock. The influence of his character it not confined merely to thoso who come in contact with him. The shadow of his influence reaches to multitudes whom he does not kno.v. who observe hint, take notice of hi i integrity and uprightness and know thereby that honor is not yet lead among men and are encouraged tri their own place and sphere to imi- tate his example. Such, likewise, is the innuener of a noble woman in the social lif.s of the day, in the midst of the scan dai of the time, surrounded ey the malicious gossip of a comma tits-, for gossip is usually malicious and has littlo connection with the truth. Such a woman puts the vicious tc silence., the scandal -mongers to sltaine and roucws our faith 'e 1j, it nate purity of womanhocdl. Her influence reaches far beyond the circle of her acquaintance. . ho is a: a "GREAT ROCK IN A WEARY LAND." - The great names in history view- s,: from this point of view are great n rocks of safety,refreshment t and inspiration in a toiling, struggling world. Serene and immovable, like giant peaks, they live their lives in a higher atmosphere, in the midst cf petty, self-seeking, mean, ambi- tious and cringing selfishness of their day. In their presence moral distinctions, which in the hazy at- mosphere in which most of us live become obscure and blunted, grow clear and plain. Tho grace of God can make us rocks of influence in the midst of circles in which we live. Consider Vit. Peter, the "man of rock," whose name Simon was changed to Peter (which in the Greek means rock). Originally vacillating, un- stable and impulsive in disposi- tion, Christ saw in him qualities that were noble and rocklike and named him what through his grace he would become, Peter, the "man c -f rock." So with all of us. We can overcome faults and failings in our lives; there can be developed in use new graces and virtues un- known to us, so that standing four square and immovable in the midst r.f the untoward influences of this world, we, too, inay be rocks of re- fuge, encouragement and inspira- tion, casting a shadow of blessed influence upon multitudes in this weary world.

Characteristics of' the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.—Note the facts in "The Lesson in Its Selling." 1. Review the circum- stances of the Thessaloniau church as given in Acts 17. See Lesson 111. of this Quarter. Three mis- sionaries had come there from Philippi, two of them torn and bruised by terrible flagellation at Philippi, emerging from the lowest dungeflt!'r of a prison, their whole aspect bespeaking "their poverty, their sufferings, their earthly in- significance. A famine, says Farrar, "was raging in the Roman empire, and the commonest necessaries of life had risen to six times their proper value." These poor per- secuted wanderers supported them- selves by weaving black goat's hair into tent cloth. Here they preached a few weeks, founded a church, and were driven away by persecution. 2. Paul longed to . visit. them again, and made three vain at- tempts to do so, from Berera, from :Athens, from Corinth. He felt their need of training and of more knowledge of the truth, of comfort, of guidance. 3. Timothy had just, come back from Theesalcnica, and had brought a report concerning the church, giving a favorable account in gen- eral. Itut two facts wete made known by hits. One was that they were suffering severe persecutions from both Jews and Gentiles; the other that they were discouraged and troubled by the death of some before the second coming of the Lord Jesus. 4. The Epistle is very t;ersonal and retrospective, breathing a spirit of affection and of joy. It is full of "sweetness and ,fight." "A loving, fatherly spirit breathes in every line." 5. 11 it seems strange that !etch a letter could he written to a church founded by trail lei, than a year before. implying "the wonderful maturity of this infant church, when ee compare it with the slow •41.1.4-#fiffi11.44011i. COLD DISHES FOR 1VARM DAYS Emancipation from serving hot, heavy meals should be tho house- wife's declaratiou of independence during the suminer months. 11 her family has not yet learned that summer should be mother's vaca- tion time, too, let them begin les- sons at tine'. When possible it is good to follow the custom of women in smaller towns and serve the hot meal at noon, and a cold supper, generally with creamed potatoes and tea biscuits as the hot dish. Cold sliced meat, salad, and fresh fruit complete this sensible menu. Many housewives have their famil- ies trained to eat cold rice or !Hush and mlik, or merely adish of berries or other fish fruit and cake for the evening meal. This plan is more difficult for the city or suburban housewife, whose men folks cat a hasty luncheon at noon and depend on a hearty dinner at night. Many women ro induce their husbands to take a chop or steak with their noon meal and eat lighter food at night. Some allow for this extra heavy meal at noon out of the household allowance, so tho hus- bands cannot object on account of the heavy meal being too expen- sive. tian Life.—V. 23. First, the Ideal and Airn. The first sentences of the ],.ord's Prayer, and, therefore, of all prayer and all living. It is as necessary to have the right goal of life as for a sea captain to know the port for which he is sailing. It is by the ideal that we test our daily lives. "The religious view of heaven is no unpractical thing. Think of it, earth the place where heaven is shadowed forth! This means that our life and affairs and conduct are to show forth the very highest that we can know or con- ceive. If then heaven be the place of the real and true, is not that great, and noble, and practical!" The same is true of life. Every young person should know definite- ly and decidedly where he wants to go, what he wants to become, what is his ideal. 23. And the very God of peace. Better as It.V., "the God of peace himself," the God who brings peace—peace with himself, through sins forgiven, and natures in har- mony with his; pence in the soul, peace of c(nscience, the peace of t rust in God our Father ; peace of righteousness, for it is only when righteousness is "as the waves of the sea" that "peace can flow like a river"; pence with nature and providence; peace with our fellow- men. Sanctify you. Make you holy, pure, free from sin and im- perfection, from every taint of es il. Wholly. Unto completeness, to full perfection. in degree and in kind' Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge Of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: and grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ (Eph. 1: 13, Ib). Whole spirit and soul and body. Every part of your nature, the spirit that allies us to (god, the highest moral nature. And soul. Our real selves, our immaterial nature, including all the faculties of our being. And body. The home of the soul, which should be as pure as a temple of the Iloly Ghost. No one is preserved blameless, i.e., without spot or imperfection for which one can bo blamed. No one is perfect till his hndy is under per- fect control of his moral and men- tal nature, a perfect instrument of the spirit. Into the coming. (!reek "in (or at) tho coming" of our Lord Jesus Christ. As in Matthew 25, that you may be among those on his right hand, belonging to, having a part in his everlasting kingdom of righteousness and love. WEARING A NEW STRAW H.T. A man is not really gallant unless he is perfectly willing to give up his umbrella to a woman who has been caught in a sudden shower, and go home in the rain himself. i)on't employ a sh.'e y w.'rkman when you want rt, shod. The dishes which custom has made us serve hot, but which can be served coid and made just as tasty, are legion. It is popular and sen- sible to substitute fresh fruits for a first course instead of hot soup— fresh berries, mixture of fruits sweetened and kept on ice for an hour or two before serving, pine- apple, orange, banana, and melons. With a big spoon "eggs' may bo scooped from the pink pulp of the watermelon. The effect of those pink eggs on a bed of ice or grape leaves, as a first course, with pink flowers in the center of the table, is pretty. Cold Soups Thickened with Gela- tin.—When you get the habit of serving cold soups you will never set a dish of hot soup before your family in dog days. The cold soups are really aspic, made of soup stock and vegetables, just as you make any soup and thickened with enough gelatin to give them the proper con- sistency. Cold soup is served in cups. Chicken comes first in popu- larity, then tomato, then beef stock. Of course in preparing soup to bo served you must be particular to have it well seasoned, for you wish) your family to like it instantly. Parsley, celery, and bay leaves give chicken soup a good flavor, and a bit of red pepper adds piquancy. Red pepper is used to excess in hot countries to stimulate the stomach and liver, but a bit used occasion- ally is an addition to any (fish and not necessarily overstimulating. The water in which vegetables are boiled and the creamed vegetables left, over may be converted into sum- mer soups. create soups, by the ad- dition of milk and soup stock thick- ened. When the vegetables are used, as spinach, celery, asparagus, peas, beans, or any vegetable pulp, it is first boiled until tender, then rub- bed through a fine sieve and added to the milk and soup stock in the proportion of two cupfuls of vege- table pulp to one quart of soup stock or milk, or half stock and half milk. Sats' }lode Applies to All.—By using this rule for cream of spin- ach, soup can be made from any vegetables. Boil the spinach until tender, drain, chop. and rub it through a sieve. Add two cupful; of the pulp to one quart of milk or stock or half parts of each. Put on the fire and thicken with one table- spoonful of butter and two table- spoonfuls of Ilour. Season with salt and pepper. it is mare richer by adding a half cupful of cream and beaten with an egg whip. ('ream of tomato is one of the popular summer soup;. The tomato and the milk are heated separately, the latter be- ing cooked and strained. A bit, of soda is added to tho tomato and it is stirred iuto the milk, not vice versa. Season with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. City house- wives hay the tomato soup in cans and snake cream of tomato with that. This soup served in cups kith whipped cream and an English eel nut on top is a dainty first course at luncheon. Onion soup is popular with the French and Italians. To prepare this put two ounces of but- ter in a saucepan and when melted add a. tablespoonful of !lour, stir and when it begins to turn yellow, add four or five onions sliced. Stir until fried, add one quart of broth and let boil about fifteen minutes. Mash through a colander, put bock on the fire, give one boil, salt and pepper to taste. Hare a slice of bead or bits of toasted bread (croutons) in the soup tureen. Italians serve grated cheese with onion soup. This is the national soup. Gelatin the Summer Ally.—Gela- tin is the housewife's best ally in summer. lly its aid she can evolve delicious cold dishes. Scientists do not understand just what part gela- tin plays us a food, but they have discovered that it is not worthless as food and that it is sufficient to sustain life when combined with other substances which would them- selves be wholly insufficient if given alone. Gelatin must always be flavored to render it digestible and nutritious. 1t is a fine food for the sick, especially valuable in cases of disease of the intestines, as typhoid fever. So much when you are in- clined to look upon gelatin as only a "fancy" food used for decorative purposes, remember that you can well afford to serve it. Aspic is gelatin made of the meat stock. One can make a great variety of vegetable aspics. Boil the vege- tables (one or several), as carrots, beets, celery, peas, string and lima beans, asparagus, and when cold cut them into dice, slices, or fancy shapes. They can be arranged in layers and covered with the aspic. letting each layer harden a little before arranging the next. When covered with the aspic set away to harden. Chicken, tongue, and other meat aspics are delicious. With a little experiinent, one can become expert in decorating a mold with designs of hard boiled eggs and vegetables, arranging the slices of chicken or meat, attractively and cove: ed with the aspic, so the dish will come on the table exceedingly pretty. Leftover Meats Attractively Served.—When one has just a few slices each of chicken, ham, and tongue, and wishes to serve these, an attractive dish can be made by garnishing the platter with little squares or molds or aspic hard boil- ed eggs, slices of beet pickle, and a border of parsley or cress. Every- thing here is good and nutritious. Aspic dishes are just as suitable for the company luncheon and Sunday night supper as they are for the family meal. Since the stock, which is made by boiling the bones and lestdesirable pieces of meat, and the gelatin used—if thickening is necessary—are inexpensive, aspic dishes are to be prepared the even- ing before or early in the morning and set in the ice box to cool. With one "hearty" vegetable, as baked stuffed potato or escalloped corn, a vegetable salad, and fresh fruit, a meal is satisfying and easily pre- pred. Cold boiled fish are delicious when covered with jellied mayon- naise and decorated with one of these : Pickles, beets, hard boiled eggs, capers, water cress, nastur- tiums, lemon points, and so on Ono formula for jellied mayon- naise for fish is: Add one and one- half tablespoonfuls of gelatin which has been soaked for an hour and a half to a cupful of clear beef or chicken stock which has been heated. When this has cowled, stir into it a half cupful of olive oil, a tablespoonful of vinegar or lemon juice, salt, pepper, and the bcatca yolk of an egg. SEASONABLE SA LA I)S.

Black Goods. --In laundering black wash goods use a small portion of black diamond dye, mixing it, in with the starch. This will take away the glossy appearance so com- mon in black shirt waists. Seam Board.--Wle n ironing vests and linen suits, in fact all garments with heavy seams, use a thickly padded board ; an inch thickness is none too much. Starch in moder- ately thick, well cooked starch. Dry thoroughly before sprinkling. as the stick element in starch evaporates in drying. Let garments stand at least two hours after sprinkling. Starch should never be allowed to get cold and lumpy. Sticky • s St i • • • starch is the result. . When ironing vests stretch garment well into shape; begin ironing on wrong side, then right side, alternately, until thoroughly dry. Finish on wrong side if dull finish is desired. A thickly padded board is half of the battle. Washing Made Easy.—Shave a bar of good laundry soap into a pan and add two tablespoonfuls washing powder. Cover with water, let it boil until dissolved, after which stir into it two-thirds cupful of gasoline, stirring constantly un- til thoroughly incorporated. There is then no danger of explosion. Sort clothes and for each lot have vessel filled with cold water. [Use boiler for main part of washing and large granite kettles for the rest.] Add soap to watetr and place clothes in vessels, being sure clothes aro well covered. Let come to boil and re- main in hot water over night. In the morning place in tub, rubbing soiled spots slightly; rinse in two water, starch, and hang out. You will find the soil entirely removed, leaving clothes beautifully white. A careful attention to details is necessary. Avoid having the gaso- line around flames before it is mix- ed with soap, and let it be well mix- ed before adding to water. AT FUNERAL OF EMPEROR GOR(:Ell US 1)1UI'1..11' I\ 'I'1IE CITY OF lel;kIN. Spridatr*r 'Tells of Sight 11 hien Marked Chinese Emperor's Funeral. Of the Oriental display that (narked the funeral of t•he% late Emperor of China in Pekin, a spec- tator writes: ''The procession was headed by a body of troops, caval- ry, mounted infantry nn' infantry. Next came some two dozen camels and a mob of white pack ponies with their burdens concealed be- neath cloths of imperial yellow. These were followed by men institut- ed on the shaggiest of ponies and dressed in the red cloaks to be seen at all Chinese funerals, bear- ing red banners with devices which I wished I un(ieratood. LAMA PRIi:STS. "Against this was contrasted a great splash of yellow as the body of lama priests shoved past us in their yellow coats. Then came bearers dressed in red like the men on the ponies, bearing canopies of purple, yellow, red and white and banners of the same splendid col- ors, and behind them two large yellow chairs, closely followed by more canopies rivaling those that had preceded them. After these Trove Prince Ching in a closed car- riage, surrounded by a large body- guard such as one sees daily in the streets of Pekin. At this point there was a abort gap, and then white disks of paper, cut to resem- ble copper cash and flung high into the air, announced the approach of the hearse. It was born by 128 bearers, whose red dresses con- trasted s i'.idly a ith its brilliant yellow, and after it came another body of troops and then a crowd of carts. 1tlii1.L1.1NT PROCESSION. •'So the procession ended. and passed, and this bad description of it can give little idem of its brilli- ance.

Bryan Leighton, who has just re- turned to England from the High- lands of Colombia, brought with him and presented to the London Zoo a bird -catching spider. Ho says of it : "The spider lives in holes is the ground or in trees, and cap• tures its victims by springing on then!. Besides birds, it eats the smaller mammals, and has been known to attack and kill a scorpion. The specimen I have just present- ed to the Zoo is, 1 believe, the first of its kind to be brought alive to England. I captured it in the re- public of Colombia at an altitude ow 3,000 feet, about 700 miles from the coast, and had great difficulty in bringing it hone alive, ns it was such a delicate feeder, indeed, the pouch or sack has dwindled to half the size it originally was." d• 11111'1'IS1i l'i..1(i RETURN i:D.

Mr. Jeffcock found the flag in the chateau of Assay -le -Rideau, near Touraine, where it had been placed by M. do Ricard, a grandson of a former Governor of the Ionian islands. It, was offered fur sale for £2.1 with a flag of the Netherlands, and Mr. Jeffcock bought both .'f them.
