To Cook Bananas. -Few persons
realize the beneficial and nourish-
ing qualities of this fruit. As it dis-
agrees with.same people, it has most
unjustly been condemned as indi-
gestible and unwholesome.. It is
the staple food of the South Ameri-
•oans, however, and is given to their
babies as frequently as our ht4ngry
youngsters are given slices of broad
and butter, Bananas, if they are
unripe, may be used with advant-
age as a vegetable. Out the fruit
in halves, stew ib for 25 minutes in
just a little water, drain, cover with
a cream sauce such as you use for
cauliflower, and' serve hot. The
ripe fruit is a delicious garnish to
meat: Cut round slices from ripe

dash of maraschino or sherry and a
little sugar, instead of the French
dressing.

CARING FOR VEGETABLES.
If deteriorated vegetables are
brought into the kitchen no method
of handling will restore them to
first-class condition. Even good
ones will not be at their best, un-
less they are properly cared for af-
ter being received.
It is, of ,course, useless to .wash
them with water, which is itself
dangerous, and in any case where
the water supply is not considered
safe for drinking, boiled water
should be used for washing vege-
tables and fruit after the first
rough dirt has been removed by hy-
drant water.
As to the method of washing ve-
getables, a few cautions are in or-
der. Some people never choose as-
paragus at table, unless it has been
prepared by some one who is care-
ful, as they do not wish to bite
down on sand, for the cleaning of
this vegetable requires conscience"
as well as care.
The bunch should be placed heads
down, in water for some hours, and
should be shaken back and forth to
dislodge the particles of earth.
Spinach is another vegetable
which requires the best cleansing to
free it from grit. After the roots
have been cut off it should be wash-
ed in a number of waters and lifted
out, of the pan each time in loose
handfuls before the 'water has been
drained off.
Celery and lettuce and other sal-
ad plants, because eaten raw, must.
be washed with great care. They
should be searched leaf by leaf for
insect life, washed in several wat-
ers and then wiped dry with a clean
cloth and put in a cold place to be-
come crisp. Otherwise, don't eat
it,
A NEW DOCK FOR LONDON.
Three Pumps Can Lift 135,000,000
Gallons ht an 8 -flour Day.
The new Albert dock will be im-
mediately south of the present Al-
bert dock, and will cost about two
million pounds. The dock will have
a water area of 65 acres, an. en-
trance lock 800 feet long and an
average depth of 38 feet, and will
bo „capable of accommodating, if
necessary, several vessels as large
ae the Olympic or Mauretania. One
great feature of this new dock will
be the provision on the south side of
seven jetties, Pa

Important extensions are also to
be made to the East India import
and export docks, the West India
docks and the London docks, which
will cost another £1,400,000. In the
autumn it is also proposed to start
the first part of a big dock exten-
sion at Tilbury, that will provide

Text, John 1. 11.
Verse 16. Came to Nazareth -In
the course of the Galilaean preach-
ing tour. At first it would seem
that St. Luke places the incident
immediately after the temptation,
but according to Matthew 13. 53-58,
and Mark 6, 1-6, it undoubtedly oc-
curred much later, as Luke himself
later suggests in verse 23. Nazar-
eth is not mentioned in the Old Tes-
tament, but gained its prominence
from being the home of Jesus. It
is situated on the southern end of
the Lebanon Mountains, and has
an elevation of 1,600 feet above the
sea. Situated some distance from
the main highways, it has all the
characteristics of a rural town. Its
present population is about 11,000.

The sabbath day -The seventh
day, which was the Jewish Sabbath.
The change of the Sabbath day from
the seventh to the first day of the
week did not come about until after
the resurrection. It was essentially
a change from a Jewish Sabbath to
a Christian Sabbath, or "Lord's
Day" (Rev, 1. 10). After the resur-
rection the disciples began the cus-
tom of meeting each first day of the
week, itself the day of the resur-
rection, to celebrate that event,
which to the disciples was the great-
est of all Christian events. Natural-
ly the day itself became the great-
est of all Christian days, so that

the Prophets were read standing.
Just as once the adventurous
navigators of the high seas were
confronted with the mysteries of
ocean tides and currents, the avia-
tor is busy to -day studying the
more subtle problems of air cur-
rents. Some of the problems of
navigation this newly discovered
oce•nn are graphically set forth in
the Pall
Mall Magazine g no in an arti-
cle on "The Highway of the Air."
"It is necessary that the air
should be studied, understood, and
charted like the ocean," declares
the author, "and for immediate
purposes we must know chiefly the
lower atmosphere, the five or six
miles of it wherein .aircraft travel.
Workaday flying and dirigible bal-
looning are •carried on in the first
6,000 feet of• the atmosphere.
"During the past few years closer
attention has been given to the reg-
ular currents of the atmosphere,
with .a view particularly to aerial
navigation. The main German air
currents are now known and chart-
ed, and use of this knowledge is
constantly made by aeroplani,sts,
"Nine years ago the regular
winds of the North Atlantic were
mapped out, and future aerial traf-
fic between Europe and America
will depend greatly upon a know-
ledge of these currents,

GOOD ROADS REPORT.
Issued by the Ontario Department
of Public Works.
A valuable contribution to the
"Good Roads" movement, now
spreading so rapidly throughout
Canada, is the "Annual Report on
Highway Improvements" for 1911,
issued by the Department of Public
Works of the Province of Ontario.
This report treats of the subject in
considerable detail, describing the
best methods of road construotion
in Canada and the United States.
In the last few years practically
all of the Provincial Governments
have adopted measures of legisla-
tion providing for Government aid
in the construction of highways, ac-
cording to this report. In some in-
stances this consists only in engin-
eering advice, while in others it
includes .substantial aid in construc-
tion.
onstructtion. However, this is confined en-
tirely to the Provincial Govern-
ments, no assistance in road build-
ing being given by the Federal Gov-
ernment of the Dominion,
The report above referred to, un-
der the subject of Concrete Roads,
contains the following: "Attention
has recently been drawn to concrete
pavements, which have been treat-
ed with a surface painting of tar
over which a thin layer of fine grav-
el is spread, just sufficient to be
saturated and held by the tar.
"In appearance these pavements
resemble sheet asphalt, the tar and
sand coating overcoming the glare
and reflection of heat. The tar and
sand fills the expansion joints and
depressions, serving as a wearing
surface. The expansion joints dis-

tion, but more likely the lesson
which the Jewish lectiooi'rary pre-
scribed for the day, It referred to

Jesus represents the prophecy to be

the practice of anointing kings and
prophets as they enter their respec-

The treatment in short overcomes
the more objectionable. feature of
the ooncrete pavement,
"Concrete pavements as hereto-
fore laid in Ontario have cost about
$1.15 a square yard. The tar treat-
ment has cost about two cents a
square yard, and the treatment has
been found to last for two years,
making the cost of tarring and
sanding 1 cent per square yard per
annum. 1•f further experience
proves the success of this treatme ut,
it should be useful for the smaller
towns and v'ilages in paving their
main business ,treats, and would
be exceedingly effective far me:n

The type if pavement just de-
scribed originated in Ann lrbor,

has been subjected to all classes of
traffic and has met with entire suc-

A curious occupation has sprung
up in Paris, Several lectors have
received a circular from is newly -
formed agency, which offers to find
patients fox them. 'The fees are ra-

:$100. On receipt of the fee the
doctor is assured a list of 20 con-
sumptives, 20 epileptics, 20 people
suffering from cancer, and so forth.
He is then at liberty to call and
offer his services. The agency's cir-
cnlar declares that the lists of pa-
tients are compiled from absolttte-
ly certain sources and that the mon-
ey will be returned if there are
more than three mistakes in each
fast, This is rather a grim proviso;

Says a Brahmin in Paris, Who Pro.
phes!es the future fate of
Europe.
The angel of the Rue de Paradis,
Madame de Thebes, and the other
prophetesses of Paris, are all in the
depths of despair since the recent
arrival of an Indian seer, His name
is Aessun Harid Dina, and he comes
to be the mouthpiece of Brahma,
the god of almost 300,000,000 of
souls. Here is what this spokes-
man of the ancient Hindoo god
Brahma has to say;
"The knowledge I bring to
France is not an exposition of the
doctrine held by the two hundred
and seventy millions of people who
call themselves Brahmins. It is
that of the chosen few to whom
have been handed down the. vener-
able traditions which are the ori-
gin of all religions. The most im-
portant of my secreta is that the
formations of lodestones or mag-
nets will modify completely the
knowledge of western savants on
this subject. As there exists only
one law, original energy ,must have
but one sole expression. Hence,
magnets are unipolar and the idea
that they have two poles is absurd.
Hence•, I shall completely trans-
form the system of producing elec-
tricity. This secret has been well
guarded in the ancient temples of
Braluna. The knowledge of Brah-
ma will teach men the evolution of
a plant as well as of human beings.
Suppose we cast our eye over the
nations of Europe and our range of
view took in the whole of the twen
t'eth century. Here is what the
science of Brahma tells us:
GERMANY IN PERIL.
"France has nothing to fear from
the direct attack of her neighbors
during the years 1913 and 1914.
Prudence will be necessary during
the year 1915. France, represents
the positive pole of humanity.
Everything tures toward her. This
is why she has so many men of geni-
us. The years 1912, 1913 and 1914
will be good for Germany. After
these years the imperial family will
be• in danger. The Empire, how-
ever, will continue to grew until
about the middle of the twentieth
century. But in the beginning of the
twenty-first century the German
Empire will be smashed by a Fran-
co -China -American alliance. 'The
political attitude of Russia this
year will cause much uneasiness.
It will be vacillating. A plat men-
aces the Czar for 1915. A great
Empress will be Czarina of all the
Russians in the •course of this cen-
tury. In 1888 Great Britain reach-
ed the zenith oft' her power. The
years 1913, 1914 and 1915 will be fav-
orable, .and tension with foreign
powers will cease. England will
live .about 800 years more. Italy
will not have a favorable year in
the whole century. No war will
profit her. Turkey will be victori-
ous in August and September, and
after that she will be in serious
danger. Japan has an era of glory
and prosperity ahead of her. This
will continue for 28 years, after
which there will be a war, a revolu-
tion and a change of dynasty."
LONDON CITY OF LOST WOMEN
Over 1,000' Young Girls Missing in
Twelve Months.
London, England, is fast acquir-
ing the reputation of being the city
of lost women. Amazing statistics
in regard to the latter have just
been published by the Home Office,
but while these statistics are mea-
surably modified by tate number of

the police, certain papers maintain
that the statistics lack detail as
they do not furnish data ooncern-
ing the missing ones. Such as
nationality, circumstances of life,
etc„ or reveal in what circum-
stances those "traced" were found,
by which projects of law might bo
drawn, if necessary, in order to
suppress the evil. But, be that as
it may, here is the note issued by
the Honie Office en the subject:
"During the last twelve months
1,118 girls, between the ages of ten

Metropolitan Police as missing. Of
these 1,102 were traced.
"Two thousand six hundred and

Why is it that we neglect to use ,
the left hand so much?
Among English-speaking people,
ninety-seven out of every hundred
are right-hande
d when they reach
h
maturity. Out of every hundred
such persons, seventeen are born
right-handed, .three are born left-
handed, and the remaining eighty.
are born without preference as to
either hand. Eighty are influenced
to become strongly right-handed
during early 'childhood.
Na great asset of the world is so
neglected as the average left hand.
Formerly, all the world was ambi-
dextrous. Primitive m:an had no
preference which hand he used.
And in various parts of the world
efforts are now being made to ea -
wive the use of the left hand.
Japan has for many years been
teaching two -handedness to, the men
of her army and in her public
sehools. The German Governinent
is following Japan's example. Sir
Robert Baden-Powell, hero of the
siege of Mafeking, and founder of
the Boy Soonta, does not consider a
man a well-trained ,soldier, unless
he can mount equally well on either
side of his horse, use the sword, re-
volver, and lance equally well with
both hands.
The woman that interests a man
most is the one who will make him.
