IV(rs. Martin Parraher, Dogherty Cor-

recommend Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild
Strawberry for dysentery and summer
complaiate. My little girl, at the age.
of two years, had the dysentery very bad.
We had two doctors, but with no result.
My mother brought me a bottle of "Dr.
Fowler's," and when half the bottle wits
used the little girl was running around
playing with her dolls with great delight
and joy to the family, for we did not
think, she would ever get better."
There are a number of preparations on
the market today, claiming to be the
same as "Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild
Strawberry," and also called similar
names, so as to fool the public into think-
ing they are getting the genuine.

Seven Mistakes of Life.
Here is an editor's enumeration
of the seven mistakes of life:
1—The delusion that individual ad- I
vancement is made by. crushing oth-
er's down.
2—The tendency to worry about
firings that cannot be changed or cor-
rected,
3—Insisting that a thing is impos-
sible because we ourselves cannot ac-
complish it.
4—Attempting to compel -other men'
to believe and live .as we do.
5—Failure to refine the mind by,'
I
the habit of reading good
Iiterature..
6—Refusing to set aside trivial
preferences in order that important
things may be accomplished.
7—The failure to establish the'
habit of saving money.

Cherries Served a Dozen Ways;
A. ripe; juicy cherry eaten from the
st . m is so good that it seems almost
a ehome to disguise oi' change its
taste or texture . by cooking and by'
the addition of other foods and flav-
ors. But even ripe, juicy cheri'ies
might become monotonous eating if
they. were too often served. So in
cherry season the clever cook will re-
sort to some of the following ways of.
presenting this abundant and inex-
pensive fruit to the family to which
she eaters.
To begin with, always serve cher-
ries fresh, whether they are served
raw or cooked. If too many cherries
are bought to be disposed of while
they are fresh, can the superfluous
ones while they are still firm and
sweet. Nothing loses taste and qual-
ity mare quickly by standing than
does a cherry.
Cherry Pie.—Cherry pie cannot,
in spite of the assertion of the old
rhyme, be made "quick's a eat can
wink its eyes," But it is so delicious
that it is worth making, neverthe-
less. The kind made with stoned
cherries is mueh pleasanter to eat.
Stone the cherries carefully, with a
sharp knife, and save all the juice
that comes from them. Sweeten ac-
cording to the sweetness of the cher-
ry. The English method is to make
the pie of unstoned cherries, without
a lower crust. But a good pie results
from a combination of two methods
—a pie without a lower erust and
with pitted cherries. Line the sides
of a deep dish with cherries around en
inverted cup—in 'which the juice will
gather instead of boiling over with
crust. Bake brown and serve cold.
Cherry Dumplings.—Here is a re-
ceipt for good cherry dumplings. It
is possible to make these dumplings
with a plain biscuit dough, but this
suet dough is perhaps better.. Allow
one ounce of finely chopped suet to
each cupful of flour. To each four
cupfuls of flour add a teaspoonful
each of salt and baking powder, sift,
and then work' in the suet with two
silver knives. Mix with cold milk to
a stiff dough and roll out on a board.,
Cut the dough in squares and in the
centre of each put a pile of sweeten-
ed cherries. Pull up the edges of,
the dough and form each dumpling
into a ball and steam for about an
hour. Serve with cherry sauce,
cream or hard sauce.
Cherry Tarts.—Cherry tarts are
delicious, too. To make them, bake
tart shells of pie crust, moderately
rich. Stew sweetened, pitted cherries
just enough to cook them through.
Just before serving put the cherries
in the tart shells and top each tart
with a spoonful of.whipped cream.
Cherry Sauce.—bream a table-
spoonful of butter with a tablespoon-
ful of cornstarch and heat until
slightly brown. Then add two cup-
fuls of stoned cherries, a cupful of
sugar and a cupful of water. Sim-
mer until the cherries are cooked
soft. Rub through a fine sieve and
serve. A little lemon juice may be
added to give a tarter flavor.
Cherry Roly-poly.—This is an old
favorite among cherry desserts.
Make a rich biscuit dough or the suet
dough already described and roll it
oat in a sheet half an inch thick.
Spread it withstoned cherries, sweet-
ened to taste, and a little butter. Put
lin a buttered dish or a mold and
steam for two hours. This, because
it is bigger, takos longer cooking
than the individual dumplings de-
scribed. Serve with sauce—either
. cherry or hard sauce.
With Ice Crean.. ---Put vanilla ice
cream in dessert glasses, and over
each portion pour several table-
! spoonfuls of .cherry sauce, made by
pouring a cupful of granulated sugar
melted in a double boiler, over two
cupfuls of stoned cherries, Pour the
sauce over the ice cream as sipon as
' it is made, or else after it has been
thoroughly chilled.
Cherry Tapioca and Rice.—Add
stoned cherries to rice or tapioca
pudding for a change. A tapioca
pudding made without milk and eggs
—just the sweetened tapioca cooked
to transparency in water—is delicious
when stoned cherries are lavishly
I added, and the pudding is thorough-
chilled before serving, and then
' eaten with whipped cream.
—Cherry Salad.—Diced fresh pine-
apple and pitted cherries, served on
crisp white lettuce leaves with a
• dressing made of three parts of olive
oil to one of lemon, flavored with
salt and paprike, make a tempting
. salad in cherry season, Another good
salad is made by stoning cherries
and making each of them the nucleus
of a small ball ofr cream cheese,
which has been mixed with chopped
nut meats. Serve three or four of
these balls on each platewith crisp
lettuce and French dressing. Cher-
ries and oranges can be combined in
a very good sweet salad.
As an Appetizer.—Firm, ripe cher-
ries sprinkled with lemon juice and
sugar can be served on their stems
as an appetizer. They should be
thoroughly chilled.
A Fruit Dessert.—Cherries added
to any fruit combination for dessert
are good. With pineapple and
orange, sweetened, and served in
dessert glasses, with early peaches
diced and served in the same way, or
with grapefruit and bananas they
are delicious.
Cherries to Drink.—Boil four cup-
fuls of sugar with two quarts of wa-
ter for five minutes and then pour
over two quarts of cherries that have
been pitted and forced through vege-
table press. Add the juice of two
lemons and chill thoroughly. Serve
with cracked ice for a refreshing bev-
erage.
Cherry Whip.—Pit some ripe,' red
cherries ,and sweeten the juice. Add
the cherries, cut in quarters,
to stiff-
ly beaten eggs, sweetened to taste.
Put two or three tablespoonfuls of
the juice in the bottom of each des-
sert glass and pile the whip on top.

Extracts from Caesar,Seneca and other Latin Classics,Shows That
Spirit of the Race Has Not Changed in Twenty Centuries.
An extract from a newspaper
which has just come to hand the
following quotations summarize a
famous and curious study depicting
the present war.
'The possession of our territory
offering a special attraction to the
Germans, after having invaded all
the eastern part, they established
themselves as if it ought to belong
to them always, the General Staff
exercising its power with insolence
and •cruelty, demanding 'hostages,
even etildren, and 'delivering the
inhabitants to every kind of tar-
ture if, at the least sign of their
chief, his orders were not canned
out immediately. These ferocious
and barbarous men sought to in-
vade all the country andbecame a
menace to Italy."
What is the date of this extract
and what is its title? It is not a' ,f
yesterday or the day before. It
-dates from fifty years before our
era,. It is, in fact, fron the Com-
mentaries of Caesar.. This great
conqueror, who was, nevertheless,
not remarkable for his tenderness,
had been struck by the savagery of
the warriors from beyond the
Rhine who were the terror of
peaceful populations. Two thous-
and years ago these arrogant and
cruel invaders were the same asto-
day.. Going over the pages of the
famous Roman general, one would
think he was reading the news-
papers of to -day !
And his judgment mient is not isolated,

classics. There is unanimity. The

Christ, "joining ruse to such a

Elsewhere Seneca declares :—
"The Rhine flows between the Ro-
man world and its enemies; it 'sep-
arates us from the German race,
!always insatiable, for war."Quaes-
tione•s Naturae, VI.
Tacitus•, on his side, notes :-
"The Germans call themselves men
of warfare and that name has been
invented by them to inspire fright-
fulness. They like best to .seek an
enemy and .wounds rather than to
till the soil and await the .harvest
and to acquire ,by the sweat of
one'.s body what the 'can gain by
fighting."
Another portrait, outlined by
Strabo --"The Germans," he says,
"differ from the Gauls in being

Twenty centuries, have almost en-

THE SHOP SCI0IL STUDY
INTERNATIONAL' LESSON,
JUNE : 27.
Lesson 13.—.David, the Shepherd of
Israel—Review. Gelden Text—
Bzek, 34.15.
The Holy Scriptures are concerned
primarily with sin and salvation. All
other subjects are secondary to these.
Many events are passed over without
I mention by the inspired writers, and
the history given by them is 'pene-
trated
pene-trated in every part by a spiritual'
purpose. Our lessons during the past
quarter, taken in the main from
the lives of Saul and David, the first
and the second kings of Israel, illus-
! trate this truth. The psalms which
we havestudied belong also 'to this
period of, David's life, and our Easter
lesson concerning the resurrection of
our Lord, was the record of the ful-
fillment in him of "the sure mercies
of David" (Acts 1.3.34), even the
everlasting establishment of David's
throne. The leading truths which are
contained in our lessons stand out
clear to view.
1 The risen Lord is the Saviour of
hearts, dispelling sorrow and giving
hope and joy to despairing souls.
Thus 'he came to the grief-stricken
women at the sepulcher, and thus he
continues the revelation of his grace
and truth to all who yearn for his
presence. To them who most lament
his absence he appears most surely
and quickly, They who miss ' him
most . find him first.
2. Character is a matter of inward
condition of the heart, and not of
outward appearance. This was the
lesson which the venerable and holy
Samuel needed to learn when in his
old age God sent him to anoint David.
The aged prophet was, made to see
that the fairest to the eye is not al-
ways the fittest in the soul.
3.- The Lord guides, and guards,
and provides for his people. This is
the lovely lessonof the Shepherd
Psalm. Out of the heart of the
shepherd king the Lord sent forth
this song of solace to his flock in
every age and :clime.
4. No foe is formidable enough to
fear if one goes forth with God by
his side. Goliath fell before David's
faith, and by the mere force of the
shepherd boy.. The son of Jesse
went armed by an invisible power
which no spear or sword or shield
could withstand. "The weapons of
our warfare areenot carnal," even as
his were not; but they are mighty,
nevertheless.
5. The righteous walk ever under
the protecting care of God, who de-
livers them from the subtlest enemies
and raises up for them friends and
defenders .in .most unexpected quar-
ters.- Thus David was saved from
the murderous wrath of Saul and
given his noble friend, Jonathan,
where he might naturally have look-
ed to find a foe.
'6. A true friend is the gift of God,
and genuine friendship rests upon a
foundation of love between them
who share a like precious faith. God
gave David and Jonathan to one an-
other; and no distrust ever sprang
up between them because both trust-
ed God. Fidenity in friendship is not
possible to to the faithless.
7. Magnamity and mercifulness
are the fruits of faith in God. Da-
vid could safely spare Saul, `since he
knew God would care for, him. Re-
venge is born of .distrust in God quite
as much as it springs from bitter-
ness toward men. If we believe God
when ' he says, "Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord," we
shall be ready to feed our enemies
when they hunger and to give them
drink when they? thirst. He who takes
his case into his own hands has lost
Confidence in . the Lord's care for the
moral order of the universe.
8. He who believes will not make
haste. David hastened not to en-
force his rule over ail Israel, know-
ing surely that God would fulfill his
promises to him. Thus civil war was
averted and his throne more firmly.
established at last. A man who hur-
ries to seize his own assumes that
God will come too late to keep. His
word;but the Lord is never gelated
in the fulfillment of his purposes. The
heavenly King never' hurries and is
never tardly.,
9. The presence of God in worship
stirs the hearts of the worshippers
with joy. The ark was the symbol of
the divine presence; and ;when David
brought it to Jerusalem, he confess-
ed by his act his conscious need of
God and his desire for worship. God
met him in his pious deed and filled
his soul with inexpressible gladness.
Ours is a glad God, who delights to
give joy and peace to them who adore
Hina.
10. The holiest, if unwatchful, may
fall; and sin by men whose previous
history has been most blameless can-
not escape the condemnation of God
or the consequences of wrongdoing.
The rebuke of David, by Nathan, tlee
prophet, at the eornmand of God,
shows how no sin, however secret,
can be hidden from the divine eye
or be shielded from the divine judg-
ment. '
i1. There is forgiveness with God
to all sinners . who in hearty repent-
anee and true faith return to hint
This is the saving truth which David,
out of personal experience, sings in
notes almost divine in Psa. 32—the
eleventh lesson of the quarter. And
he also reminds us that if a man
eover his own sin, God will not cover
it.
12. By prayer the tempted prevail
over temptation.
Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his lcnees.

• LAUGHED AT MENACE.
Last Conversation With Billionaire
Repeated by One of the
Survivors.
George Kessler, .a New York mer-
chant, who since his arrival in Eng-
land after be'ng rescued from the
Lusitania has been laid up at his
Bourne End -on -Thames residence,
gave to a reporter an account of
the Cuntarder's voyage.
"Soon after I boarded the;hip r
SAM Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt tak-
ing leave of one another," Mr. Kes-
sler said. "Pre.sently a party of us.
came together -Vanderbilt, C. F.
Williamson, a dealer in antiques,
of Paris, and a friend of Vander-
bilt; Edward Gorer, a- London. art
dealer; Thomas Slidell, a news-
paper oorrespodent, and a Miss Ba-
ker, of Paris. Vanderbilt prodticed
a copy of a New York paper and
pointedto the warning about sub-
marines issued by the German Em-
bassy,
"He said that at 8 o'clock that
morning his mother telephoned his
wife and called her attention to
the warning. When it was men-
tioned to Vanderbilt he merely
laughed, he said. I remember his
words to us: `Well, how ridiculous
this tilling is. .The Germans would
not dare to make any attempt to
sink :this ship.'
"During the afternoon. I spoke to
Mrs. A. W ±bherbee, one of the sur-
vivors, who was .accompanied by
her mobher ;and little soh, a'charm-

Allen Sisters Life of Ship.
"I particularly . noticed , Lady
Allen and• her two handsome young
daughters; they were virtually the
life- and -soul of the ship, and it
did one' good to ss,ee the smiling, 'joy -
one faces of these young gine.
How terrible to think that the Mo-
ther has to mourn their loss to -day !
"Vanderbilt kept mostly to his
stateroom; there he had his meals
served and there he saw his friends.
He always was like that on a voy-
age --always enjoyed being quiet.
We had long tapes, chiefly on fi-
nance and on the. Mercantile Na-
tional League, ,of which 'Vander-
bilt, Morgan and myself have been
founders. This league, wthich bas
been organized by P. H. W. Ross,
of Washington, seeks to es'tablis'h
an American mere+antile marine.
"We talked about financial mat-
ters after the war and how closer
business relations could be estab-
lished between America' and the
Triple Entente.
Vanderbilt Denounced Germans.
"Vanderbilt was in favor of closer
and more reciprocal. relations than
have hitherto prevailed. He was
very emphatic in hips denunciation
of German methods of barbarism.
'They have disgraced themselves,'
he said, 'and never in our time wilt
they he looked upon by any human.

feelings of contempt,. How can
Germany, after what she has done,
ever think of being !class, d as a
ootrnt,'y of sportsmen and men of
honor on a par with America, Eng-
land or France? She has male war
without the least scruples as to em-
ployment of illicit means, and even
barbarians would not condescend ;to
the threats she has used.'
"Vanderbilt did not appear in
the dining saloon before Wednes-
day, • when he had dinner with a
party. I saw him and Frohxnan
the night before we were torpe-
doed, and we had a half hour's
conversation. Vanderbilt was fig-
uring out the advisability of corn-
ing hack on the Lusitania ur Adri-
atic and trying to fit in dates with
his arrangement. His icle•a was to
remain in London only aboilt thirty
days to straighten up his business
affairs. `There will be no 'coaching
for me this year,' 'he said. `I am.
sorry, but to drive a. coach in these
times is out, of the question:' I
could .see by his, manner how de-
voted he was to his favorite recre-
ation.

RESORT TO DEADLY GASES.
Raiser's Allies Amazed But Aro
Silent.
When the news of the nese of
asphyxiating gases by the Ger-
mans in the western theatre
of war reached Budapest from
Italy, in extracts from French
and British newspapers, the Buda-
pest journals reproduced "' these
itemise in full, .giving a technical de-
scription of the gases, although at
the same time commenting upon
the report as "an absurd and ridi-
culous slander." One of the
morning newspaperscharacterized
the news as one of the usual
French and Italian libels an Ger-
many, "to whose fairness in the

Germany itself there was nothing
else for the newspapers but ta
keep silence on the subject. The
"slanders" were, after all, not
slanders, but the popular disap-
pointment and disillusion are so
•deep and thorough that it will take
some time to recover from their
effects.
In the parliamentary lobby; sur-
prise was expressed that Germany,
which claims a military super -
efficiency, should resort to weep -
one with which neither Austrians
nor Russians have soiled their
hands. To Hungarians it is incera ewe
ceivable why Germany with all her"
powers and resources, in a was
against a foe which she persistent-
ly has proolaimed to be weaker and
inferior, .should have to. resort to
unscrupulous tactics. It is argued
that Austria-Hungary, in fighting
Russia, is contending against a
powerful and determined enemy,
but, while excesses may have to be
admitted on either side, there have
been no flagrant violations of inter-
national conventions or the un-
written laws of humanity.
When the history of this was
conies to be written by an unbias-
sed pen, though atrocities and
breaking of conventions will have
to be reenrded, it will be recogniz-
ed that the war of Austria-Hun-
gary

waged on humane and self-respect-
ing lines.

How Shoe Peg Was Invented.
To a Massachusetts nien, Joseph
Walker, is due the .credit of in-
venting the sluoe peg. Previous to
the year 1818 its use had nut been
known, and its inventor gave a. new
start to the, manufa.ctiire• of boots
and shoe's.
Shortly after the introduction of
this invention. •soni•e unscrupulous
parties are said to 1•ieve tried to
swindle the unsuspecting by en-
deavoring to sell shoe pegs as a
new kind of oats.
Up tos 1818 boots and shoes hwi
been sewed, and the peg, first made
by hand, came in to revolutionize
the trade. It was, • however, the -
custom of, shoeanakers who lived
away from the manufacturing cen-
tres to make their own pegs by
hand even as late as 1880, but the
machine -manufactured peg has now
superseded them.
The expression "Mind your, P's and
Q's" is generally believed to have
arisen from the former bar -room
usage of scoring up against custom-
ers the amount of beer for which they
had been trusted -•-P standing for
pint, and Q for quart.
