1)ishes Made With .1sparagns.
Asparagus is one of the things
that make us glad when spring
WOWS. Its flavor, like the first
warm winds that blow out of an
April sky, is a delicate forerunner
of the Ticher gifts of summer. And
yet is there one of all the many
vegetables that the warm suns of
summer bring out that is more
toothsome than asparagus?
From the houtsewife is point of
view, the best thing about aspara-
gus is that it is so simple to pre-
pare for the table, In fact, with a
little boiling in a little water with
a little 'salt and butter you have a
dish fit for a king.
The matter of boiling, however,
is sometimes a stumbling -block. We
all have seen asparagus come to the
table with decapitated heads. This
difficulty is due to the fact that the
heads are so much tenderer than
the stalks that when the stalks have
been boiled sufficiently the heads
have been boiled to pieces. One
way to obviate this trouble is to
take pains to put the bunches of
asparagus after they have been
washed and scraped into the boil-
ing dish with the stalk end down.
The boiling water should be poured
over the stalks as far as the heads,
but not: .to cover them. Then, as
the stalks boil, the heads are gently
steamed, and if handled carefully
will not break.
Another way to obviate this dif-
ficulty is to use a wire basket which
is made especially for asparague.
This basket holds the staiks while

praceeds.
Another way of promoting dishon-
esty is fur.the careless housewife to
give the iceman an extra quarter
to give her a goo•d, big piece of
ice to -day." This he does, but at
the expense of the other woman in
the neighborhood, who take no no-
tice of the size of the pieces put in-
to their boxes. Good scales which
weigh up to sixty pounds may be
had for $3 or $4, and they are em-
phatically a household necessity.

'Asparagus should always be cook-

A DOG'S SENSE OF DIRECTION.
"Dusky" Animal Shows Remot-

Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell tells in
Inc book, "Down North on the Lab-
rador," about a "Husky" dog that
had an almost uncanny sense of
direction. It was necessary to make
a hurried overland trip to Island
Harbor, where sickness had broken
out, and the. two doctors deckled to
go over a short cut—a seventy -mile
trail through the wilderness that
had lo -ng been unused.
The leader of our team was named
Brin. He was a yellowish -brown
fellow with queer black markings
somewhat like these of a tiger. They
gave his friee the appearance of an
eternal grin—a-n impression that
his odd way of turning up the cor-
ners of his mouth when he caught
your eye intensified. Of all the, eav-
aleade, he alone had ever scan the
trail,.and that only once, years be-
fore.

happened until we tame to the edge

to find my own way to the trail an
the farther side, I Ethould have had
to go round the edge, and per-

on the trees were obscured by ice.

forked juniper tree, standing by it-
self. The top boughe had: been

Brin? He had swung off almost at
right 'angles and was ,guiding the
other diegs along the upper edge of
the woods,. A minute later he daeh-

est, and in half a. minute were om
opposite sides of a dozen trees.
The dogs, glad of a rest, lay down
and started chewing icicles out of
their fur, while we set -to work to
untangle them. Brin, at the end of
his longer trace, was nearly hidden
by the, bushes, but I could see that
he was standing TIP and looking
back. • I went in his direction. To
my amazement, I found 'that he was
standing in a well -marked path that
ran at an acute angle up the hill !
There was nu trouhe akar that, and
by eight o'clock we were at Island
Harbor.
Before turning in, I went out to
see what the night -was. My hand
was on the latch of the cottage door,
when something warm .and furry
rubbed against my leg, and I found
myself looking into Brill's eyes.

"How did I please you to -day,

Verse 10. A certain rieh men—
ials name is nowhere given, the
popular title "Dives" being 11105e-
iy -the Latin for "a rich mao."
In purple and thee linea—The
outer garment was made of the
"purple" and the undo o; the
"linen." Both materials were
very expensive. The Berne l'pur-
ple" was at first applied only to
the liquid dye ubtained from a
shellfish, and later came to be used
metaphorically for the fabric dyed
with this liquid (compare Prov.
31. 22; Rev. 18, 12 and 16), To -day
it refers primarily to the eolor.
20. A certain beggar named La-
zarus—It is interesting to note
that this is the only instance in
which Christ gives a name to any
character in a parable.
Was laid at his gate—The verb
probably 111611115 simply lay. The
position of the beggar at the gate,
ur probably portico, indicates the
grandeur of the house.
21. We ase not told that Lazarus
was not given the crumbs that fell
From the rich man's table. The
fact that he lay there day alter day,
and the rich man knew him would
indicate that he shared favors
and abuse alike with the dogs. His
position does nut imply; however,
that he was nut given enough to
satisfy, his hunger. As the doge
were regarded as unclean animals,
the poor man's misery wonld be
doubly ekaggerated by them. No-
tice-, however, that he does not
murmur against God nor against
the rich nian. Later there is no
exultation over the reversal of
their positions.
22. This is, of course, only a par-
able, and we should not look fur
special meaning in each detail. The
parable teaches that happiness
and misery after death are deter-
mined by the conduct of persons
in this life.
23, Hades—In general the Ibode
of all departed spirits, good and
bad, until the time of final judg-
ment. • Here, however, clearly a
place of torment for the wicked.
Being in torments—The rich man
was in torment because of his in-
difference to the poor and ads lack
of sympathy. It could not have
been becamie he was rich, since
Abraham himself had been a rich
man.
21, Father Abraham—The rich
man was a Jew, a descendant of
Abraham and he .appeale to their
relationship and to Abraham's fa-
therly compassion.
Send Lazarus, that he may dip
the tip of his finger M .tater, and
cool my tongue—How changed the
environment I On earth every-
thing was made to contribute to
his selfish enjoyment:, He had liv-
ed •a life of comfort, ease, and in-
difference. He had not been ar-
rogant and driven Lazarus from his
gate, but simply unconcerned aboub
others, There is no one to help
him and he must implore the small-
est service.
25. Thou in thy lifetime receivedst
thy good things—He received these
good things as his own and used
them for his selfish plea -sure, but
he made no Investments for the
future life.
26. Abraham tellh the rich man
that it is impossible to interfere
with his lot or with that of Lazarus,
28. Testify—A strong word mean-

for a sign, and wishes to warn
them, as well -as all of bis hearers,
that if they made no attempt; '10
