Potatoes Otero (an excellent dish for supper or luncheon).—Bake a number of potatoes in the overt; remove the skins carefully, make a hole in each potato, and into each break an egg, seasoning it with salt, pepper and plenty of butter. Put the potatoes in a buttered dish and cook them three or foto' minutes . in an even that is not too hot. It add to the flavored this dish if \cath egg is covered'with a thin slice sof truffle. St. Charles Indian Bread, — Mix one tablespoonful of butter with a saucer of hot rice; add two well - beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, one pint of . milk, and finally five tablespoonfuls of white cern- :meal 1nixed with one teaspoonful of baking powder. The batter will be almost as thin as milk. Pour it in- to- well -greased, long, narrow pans, and cook half an hour. When the ':;bread is done, turn it out on plat- .ters by tipping the pans upside doirn. Care must he taken, how- ever; that none of the bread sticks • to:the pans. Dutch Turnabout.—Among the delicious and economical dishes 'Which the Dutch housewife contrives from "left -overs," there is one great favorite familiarly known as Turnabout." The foundations of this receipt are two or- three cold boiled potatoes and a few slices of cold meat. Mash the potatoes very fine; mix in slowly, stirring all the - • •time, a half -cupful of salad oil, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, and a cupful of warm water. When thoroughly blended add a spoonful of tarragon or ordinary vinegar and ', set aside. Chop the meat fine and add` to it a chopped gherkin, two chopped pickled onions, a bit of beet -root and a raw apple, peeled, cored and chopped. Mix well to- gether with a pinch of salt and a dash of Cayenne pepper; break an egg on the mixture and stir in well; drop in a quarter -cupful of salad oil, and press into a plain mold. When fully shaped, turn tint and serve on a flat dish, with the po- tato sauce poured round it. Another successful dish is made with cold soup meat as a founda- tion. Chop a quarter of a pound of it and place in a saucepan with a bit of dripping, salt, pepper, and a taste of nutmeg, Pour on it a cup- ful of milk and stir over the fire until it boils. Add enough flour to thicken slightly, one spoonful of finely chopped onion and two of powdered parsley. Butter scallop shells and fill with the mixture, sprinkling brown bread -crumbs over it. Place the shells in a hot oven; and allow the mixture to get ther- e' 'roughly browned. Serve very hot.

To remove wall paper take warns water that is softened 'With borax or ammonia and apply with a sponge. The paper will soon become soaked and blistered and may be easily stripped off. It is well to do this a day or so before the new paper is put on. Economical work aprons may be made of flour sacks which have been boiled in water containing a gen- erous supply of concentrated lye for removing the lettering. Use one or two sacks, according to the width of apron desired, and an- other one or two for a ruffle across the bottom. The process of dusting may be rendered practically dustless if the dust cloths are occasionally washed in hot suds, dipped in kerosene and then dried thoroughly in the open air. The duster or dry mop treated in this manner greatly improves the appearance of hard, wood floors. We know that discoloration, mold and often unsightly looking rents are made by the accumulating of water between paper and ceiling; caused by leaks of sunsound roofs or disordered -bathrooms.

The multitude—In the last verse of the preceding chap- ter Matthew mentions the multi- tudes which were fallowing Jesus everywhere as he went from place 'to place in Galilee. With a refer- ence to these multitudes he now 1114 traduces his narrative of what oc- curred on one special occasion. The mountain—The use of the article indicates that a definite, well-known hill or mountain was intended, but which one it is not possible to say. His disciples—The word "dis- ciple" means literally learner, and is here to be taken in its broader sense, as not restricted to the twelve. 3. Blessed)—The word translated "blessed" is thought to come from a root word meaning great, in the sense of outward prosperity. In early classical Greek it was applied more especially to the -gods, who were considered great because of their power and dignity rather than because of their goodness or holi- ness. A little later it was applied also to the dead, especially to heroes who had died in battle, The Greek philosophers from Socrates onward use it in a sense including -the moral element, but in the Bible alone is the'word lifted into the region of the spiritual as distingu- ished from the merely material and intellectual. Even in the Old Tes- tament usage of the term there re- mains more of the. sense of out- ward ut ward prosperity than in tire. New Testament, It is interesting to note how this word "passed rip into the higher region. of Christian thought and' was stainped with the gospel signet and laden with all the rich ness and significance of gospel ble'- sedness." Poor in spirit—Those conscious of their deep spiritual needs. Luke adds to this beatitude the pi o- nouncement of woe against the rich: 'Woe unto you that are rich; for ye have received your cansola- tion." 4 They that mourn—There is no- thing in tho meaning of .the word "mourn" or of the sentence in which it occurs that would Limit this phrase to those who mourn on ac- count of their spirituel poverty or sinfulness, though it is not impro- bable that Jesus had such especi- ally in mind. The eurrespondi;ig woe recorded by Luke reads: "Woo unto you, ye that laugh new; for ye shall mourn and weep." 3. The meek—We 'have hero an- other word which Christianity has, lifted to a higher plane of mean- ing. Literally the word 'means mild or gentle, but the .anality of meek- ness in human character was nob consdered praiseworthy by heathen philosophers. Thus Aristotle calls meekness "a mien inclining to a defect." Christian meekness is based on humanity, and is an aut- growth of Christian experienro, quite as much as a natural quality. 6, Righteousness --Rightness c f life and con -duel in the sight of God, Shall be fillecl--The-verb in the original is very strong, indieatl•ig complete satisfactian of hunger and thirst.

Cover Front Teeth So as to Pre- vent Them to :Join. The difficulty of curing children of the bad habit of gnawing the finger nails is wellknown. Aceoa•d- ing to Mr. Didsbury, says the New York Herald, a good result in re- gard to this habit may be obtained by a treatment which acts on the teeth themselves, instead of by seeking to protect the- nail, as is habitually done. For this purpose Mr. Diilsbury recommends the dis- arming of sthe teeth by raising the articulation, and thus making it impossible for the front teeth to join. The result is that the child. cannot bite. the nails, The treatment is most simple. 1t consists in raising the articulation symmetrically and bilaterally on a level with the- molars in order not to disturb the mastication .and eon- sequently the child's nutrition. The best method .consists in cov- ering ,all the molars in the upper or the lower jaw, but in a symmetrical and bilateral manner, by means of a metal apparatus fixed with ce,. went or gutta perches.' With this method goon results •are obtained,- Mons. btained:Mons.
