if your cake recipe cans for ordinary pastry
flour use 1 tablespoon less per cup of Purity
and 1 tujik is called for use half milk and
half water (lukewarm), as milk alone tends to

tablespoons less per cup of pnrity Plow and
1 tablespoon more of shortening. Roll i dry.

St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo,
who lived from 345 to 4;10 A.D. and
Owed his conversion and baptism to
St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, gives
us a clue of the origin of the cus-
t m of sin ing hymns in the western
church irt these words:—
was e yr or not much more,
that Justine, mother of the Emperor
Valentiab, then a child, persecuted
Tliy servant Ambrose in favor of her
heresy, to (vhieh she was seduced by
the Arians. The devout people kept
watch in the church, ready to (lie with
their bishop, Thy servant, There my
mother, Thy handmaid, bearing a
chief part, in those anxieties and watt-
chings, lied for prayer, We, yet un -
warmed by the heat of Thy Spirit,
still were stirred by thc sight of the
amazed and disquieted city. Then it
was instituted that, after the manner
of the Eastern Churches, hymns and
Psalms should. be sung, ist the ,peo-
ple should•vvax faint through the ted-
iousness of sorrow, and from that day
to this the custom is retained," ,
We may picture the sound church -
people of Milan occupying their great
church night and day, to prevent the
Arian heretics, who denied the divin-
ity of Our X.ord. Jesus Christ, from
taking possession of it, meanwhile
praying, reading the Sriptures and be-
ing exhorted by their noble bishop,
learning hymns and their tunes, which
they sang to prevent their wearying.
Where would they get the hymns?
No doubt many of them would be
translated from the Greek hymns of
the Eastern Church, The New Testa-
ment was written. in Greek, and the
Septuagint Greek version of the Old
Testament was commonly used, so
that it would be easier and more nat-
ural to write hymns in Greek than
in Latin. Greek, and not Latin Was
the original language of Christianity.
Ambrose, a highly educated Ro-
man official; •himself wrote some of
the hymns, influenced largely no
doubt by hymns of the Greek, or
Eastern Church, whose Patriarch, the
Bishop of Constantinople then the'
capital of the Roman Empire, was
one of the chief, probably the chief
authority of tlie church. The. Roman
papacy was not established until over
a century later. The Emperor Valen-
tinian resided at Milan and Anebrose
bishop there, was most prominent a-
n -tong the western bishops.
Born in 340, 'probably at Treves in
France where his father occupied the
position of Prefect of the Gauls, or
Roman Governor of Fiance, he was
taken by his mother to Rome on the
death of his father in 353, where he
received a thorough education in clas-
sics and law, and, after pra.ctising in
the highest courts, was appointed
Consular of Liguria and. Aernilia in
ltaly, which made it necessary for
him to reside at Milan.
Shortly after his appointment, but
not before he had become exCeeding-
ly popular, the bishop of the diocese
died and the people tact in their great
church to elect his successor. Feel-
inge ran high for the Arian party
was strong, vigorous and greatly
feared by those who stuck to the old
: faith of the New Testament, and

fearing a tumult, Ambrdse the, Gov-
ernor, then in tratinione for baptism
into Christianity, entered the building
to keep the peace.
At a convenient nloman't he rose
and addressed the concourse in well
chosen words, with the voice and
training of an experienced °retch:, ex-
horting them to set an example of
peace and order. '
Of a sudden 4 yOUng 0.11141:5 voice
called out "Ambrose is. Bishop!" In-
stantly the cry was taken up unanie
moesly, and in spite cif all his objec-
tions he was made to feel that it was
his duty to accept the election
He was baptized, • cohfirmed, or-
dained, consecrated bishop within a
week or two, his consecration taking
place on December 3rd, 374.
A great biehop he became, fearless,
tender, able, eloquent, wise, a true
spiritual shepherd of his flock. He
had the privilege of receiving into
the church the great and learned St.
Augustine, and, according to one
story,. co-operated with him in COM -
posing the Te Deum on that occa-
sion. It is certain that he did com-
pose at least a dozen fine hymns, of
one of which the verses printed here-
with are a somewhat free translation
by the Rev. Professor C. Bigg, of,
Oxford University. Upwards of a
'hundred altogether have been. ascrib-
ed to him, though no doubt some of
them 'were written for his use by
others, or were attributed to him in
later years, because they were •con-
eidered good enough to • have been
composed by him.
The Emperor Theodosius on one
occasion, mad with rage over the
murder of a favorite chariot driver,
ordered a general massacre of the
people of Thessalonica (the Salonika
of the late war), which orders, hastily
given, unhappily were carried out.
On the next Sunday the Emperor was
met at the church door by the bishop
who forbade his entering God's -house
with innocent: blood upon his head!
Nor would Afnbrose remove his re-
striction for months up to a Christ-
mas Day, until assured of the Em-
peror's penitence and had received
his legislated assurance that never a-
gain could such a rash order be car-
ried, out, nor the death sentence be
inflicted without a delay of so many
days and a fair trial of the culprits.
St. Augustine in Itis "Confessions"
tells us how rte was comforted on
the day of St. Monica's, his mother's
funeral, when other means of allev-
iating his anguish failed: "for the bit-
terness of sorrow could not exude
out of my heart. • Then I slept and
woke up again, and found my grief
softened not a little; • but as I was
alone in my bed remembered those
true verses of Thy Ambrose. For
Thou art.
'Creator of the earth and sky, •
Ruling the firmament 'on high,
Clothing the clay with robes of light,
131essing with gracious sleep the
night.'• "
and so on to the end of the second
verse. .Ambrose died on Easter F.ve
397, renowned as scholar, statesman,
theologian, musician aad poet,
Our hymn has al -ways been populat
in Britain, which must, have received
it soon after it was written, since the
ancient Anglo Saxon hymnals had it
long before the other Augustine, the
monk:from Rome landed in the south
of England. We are not certain of
the Ambrosias tune to which it was
first sung, but doubtless it such re-
sembled those we call Gregorian,
more suitableperhaps for those days
than ours.

previous to the gmaral upheave,/

ateliers of our eestuneee, and othezea
have been showing some of the most
charming fabrics ever used for gar -
Grass cloth, so fl.ltny itt texture -
that tissue is the better wordt, has;
gone to clothe the folk of China for
four thousand years and more, and
they. are so 'wedded. to it that they
will not make use of a substitute. In
the Far East, and in India also, this
cloth, which is as soft as the softest
down, fine as the finest silk, and
'stronger and tougher than the best
eembrie, is very extensively used, be-
ing from its strength and finenese pe-
culiarly Atted for clothing during the
hot season. But, out of Asia this
itaportant textile is only seen, and
that but seldom.
The material of it is surprising in
view of the contempt usually given
to the plant—outside China. Little
in known, however, of many of the
fabrics popular among millions in
distant parts of the old and new
worlds. Among numerous others, for
instance, for many years the material
from which the so-ealled Manila
handkerchiefs are made puzzled
everyone, and wiseacres refused to
believe that its basis is' fibre. In
England, experts declined to accept
it as the fibre of the pineapple, be-
cause efforts to manufacture the fab-
ric had not proved successful! But
pineapple fibre 'this fabric is.
The grass cloth of China, that fine,
silky tiSsue, is the produce of a net-
tle—the "Boehmevla (Urtica) nivea"
—which is much cultivated, eitpecial-
hy in cen,tral China, for textile pur-
poses. The delicacy to the touch, and
for strength and beauty, the grass
eloth of the Chinese competes easily
with their best silks, while the price
of it is astonishingly low.
• In, these dais of research toward
the •advancement of -commerce the
"Urticacae," or nettle family, appears
to have been overlooked. Yet its
various commercial qualities- have
been long known, and the nettle is
infinitely easier to cultivate than flax
or cotton. Some sixty years ago, be-
fore the Impetus pf the epoch -mark-
ing show ln the Crystal Palace has
frittered out, the Irish Flax Improve-
ment Society, Belfast, took in hand
propagation of the "Boehmeria," But
that a weed such as the nettle Is of
account in commence (outside China)
has yet to be established, although
the common nettle has been long
known to yield trete its stem a
strong fibre from which a kind of
hemp is produced, here, ,..
When West Europeans clad them-
selves in skins and Britons daubed
themselves with clay and colors, this
gossamer fabric was in use among
the Chilies°. Directions tor 'growing
the nettle, obtaining its fibres, and
weaving them into cloth, are laid
down explicity in the high prehistoric
• `Imperial Treatise of Chinese Agri-
culture."

Lady In England Fla,s Sheep That
Never Ate Grass.
A grown sheep that never ate grass
is almost as much of an anomaly as a
cow that never tasted hay. Yet, such
a sheep is said to exist in Worcester-
shire, England. A visitor in the
home -of a lady named Hochkiss, was
astounded to see a long-tailed black
sheep curled up asleep on the hearth,
Observing hie •astonished look,
Mrs, Hochkiss remarked in an uncork,
eerned manner—"That is my pet, and
was given me when it was quite a
little limb. .1 brought it up on the
bottle, and used to take it out in my
arms as ladies carry dogs. It has
become one of the family now, and 1
should feel it very ninon if 1 bad to
part with it."
• Asked what the animal hived on
•now, she replied, "I feed 11 on dog
biscuits and scraps of bread. it has
ne'v'er had grass in her life.
"The sheep takes exercise itt the
yard attaohed to the house and bae
become thoroughly domesticated, and
comes to me whonever1 eall, When
I go shopping I look the door and
often leave my pet by the fireplace.
When I get back everything is in
