The bottom crusts of fruit pies will not become sodden if, after having lin- ed your dish with paste, the latter is brushed over with a beaten egg and allowed to stand for a few minutes before putting in the fruit. Eggs for poaching should be put in boiling water for a few seconds be- for cracking the shells. This prevents the yolks from breaking, A pieceof blotting paper cut to the shape of the salt-cellar and placed in the bottom will prevent salt from be- coming damp and lumpy. When cleaning brasses, first mois- ten your cloth with paraffin, This will result in more brilliant and lasting polish, A little coarse sugar stirred into soup that has been made too salty will render it more palatable.

The Road to Greatness, Mark 1 4146, E> SL Introduction--Mark 9. 30 records 'the real beginning of the last journey to Jerusalem, although definite men- tion of it is not made until Chapter 10: 82, It would appear that during his brief visit to CApernaum ts, 338) the Master made preparations for his great adventure. We shall find later that a large number of his galilean friends were gathered in Jerusalem to support him during those last fateful ys. He must have given some ink- ling of his plan to those whom he could trust. He would go to the capl tal of his nation for the Passover feast. What he expected would hap- pen there his utterances and even. his demeanor made increasingly clear. I. The Deepening Shadow, Mark 10: 32-34, . ed slowly. For him the territory through which they were passing (Mark 10:1) was new ground, but here it was that John the Baptist had labored not long before. Many people were, therefore, ready for his message. He himself was possessed by the feel- ing that his time was short, and that whatever he would shy must be said now, : Mark gives a vivid glimpsy of our Lord 'as he makes his way toward Jerusalem. We see "the striking figure of the Master walking alone in front, the wonder-stricken disciples behind, and still farther in the rear, a group of terrified adherents." (See Revised Version.) ~ Then taking his disciples apart from the crowd, he tried once more to pre- Not -once, but again and again, he tried to warn them. All his own deep instincts had told him from the first that only by suffering could he fulfil his appointed task. He was going to Jerusalem with the clear presentiment that he was going to his death, The details of the predictions (ve. 33, 34) may have been filled in from later knowledge, but our Lord was already suffering the agony of Jerusalem and Calvary. Hl. The Selfish Request, Mark 10: 35-40 While jour Lord's mind was thus filled with the thought of what he must soon endure, his disciples were still cherishing the old dream---a glo- rious earthlr kingdom, James and John decided to put in their names' early, vs. 36-37. Probably before that forward Peter would speak for himself! Perhaps they were jeal- 'ous of Peter after the incident of Matt, 16: 18. At any rate, he was not with them when they came to Jesus. Matthew, evidently wishing to save the reputation of the two brothers, in- troduces the mother to make the re- quest, Matt. 20: 20, 21, 'How little they understood, what an answer to their prayer involved! Pati- ently and pityifgly the Master replied: "Ye know not what ye ask, Can you share my cup and my baptism?" v, 38, He meant, could-th-y share his suf- ferings? See Mark 14: 36 and Luke 12: 60. The Greek word translated "bastim" was use! in common talk to mean "flooded" in the sense of 'loverwhelmed with calamities," They, poor fellows, ambitious yet so loyal, thinking only of the "chief places" ahead, replied, "We are able." "Yes," thought the Master, sensing their real loyalty, 'Ye shall indeed share my cup and baptism." But the place nearest Christ is not given as an earthly monarch bestows favors. Our spiritual king knows only "spiritual" nearness, The place of pre-eminence is won only by likeness to him, It is "prepared" (v. 40) only for those who qualify. 111, The Road to Greatness, Mark 10: 41-46. The ten were displeased (v. 41) not because the brothers were so sordidly ambitious, but because they had tried to take an unfair advantage of them- selves. They all had "great expecta- tions." "Such was the mood of the disciples on the very eve of their Mas- ter's sacrifice. ~ Once 'more he tried to teach them.

Lynx is used for trimming on tweeds. Dark brown is allied to raspherry- pink, grey, beige and blue in many en- sembles. - Belts are made from plaited string, metal, knitted silk and leather appli- qued with chromium. Ordinary house flannel is used for blouses and for coats worn with beach suits and beach shorts. Heavy silk makes wide-skirted pet- ticoats beneath frocks of organdie or tarlatan. Feather ruffles are still popular for evening wear, and are dyed the same color as the frocks they accompany. There is much variety in coat lengths. They may be just to the waist, to the hips, or three-quarter length, When two different colors are used for a coat and dress revers of the same colqr as the dress, put a smart finish to the coat, Scarves made 'of several different colors put together like bunting are gay additions to summer sports clothes and cruising ensembles, Long velvet coats accompany dressy afternoon frocks. rene A rena "White" on Moths Ultraviolet Butterflies and moths, as seen by each other, are very different from the way they appear to human be- ings, because they see ultraviolet ra- diations and reflections beyond the range of the eye of man, Dr, Frank B. Lutz, of the American Museum of Natural History, has demonstrated this by taking photographs of butter- files, moths and flowers in which only the ultraviolet patterns were visible, It was found, for instance, that all patches and spots on butterfles and moths which appear to be Chinese white to the human eye were in re- ality a deep ultraviolet in rue. Other white shades were also found to be ultraviolet when seen by the insects. --Popular Mechanics, mime "EAT OYSTERS "CLEAN." "What is the best way to eat oysters?" asked the Prince of Wales recently when seven-year-old oysters fresh from their native beds were laid before him, at.an oyster farm, "should you take vinegar or red pepper, or both?" he asked. The manager re- plied: "Never, sir. The best way is to 'eat them clean. Then you get the true sea-water flavor."

Col psychologist, before the final | bly -of the Kastern Public Speaking Conference, which closed its twenty- fourth annual convention, Dr. Peacy was one of three to lecture on spéech "| disorders.

And when parents pamper him he stops thinking about his: own misfortunes and is content until they leave him alone ofice more." Stuttering in childhood is far eas- ier to control than in adolescence or later life, said Dr. D, Pearcy. With a baby, it is possible to correct any such speech disorder by ignoring it; the grown man or woman is confront- éd with a basic defect in personality, coupled with the tentacles of habit. "Many people can talk perfectly at home, but find themselves utterly in- capable of expression among compara- tive strangers," he sad. "Shock, or what we call stage-fright, should not affect a normal person in such a way as to render him utterly unable to speak. Yet, with many who have been allowed to grow up in an atmosphere of pseudo-sympathy, the consciousness of 'habit gives them an inferiority out- look which prevents articulation." The cure for stammering lies in control of behaviour, rather than in an attempt to change the mechanism or physical basis of speech through special exercises or medical attention, he said. Dr. Leo A. Kallen led a discussion on occupational disorders of the voice which were caused, in the main, he sald, by overstraining, or ignorance of the principles of declamation, "Teachers, preachers, lawyers and lecturers who do not pay particular attention to their vocal apparatus soon find themselves the victims of chronic phonesthesia, which renders them mute, The commanding voice is usu- ally one octave higher than the speak- ing voice. This the actor or the tea- cher too often forget. He hurts his throat much as the boy who tries to sing soprano long after his voice has changed." Mrs. Lou Kennedy of Brooklyn Col- lege, told of the difficulties encount- ered by lexicographers in finding the pure pronunciation of a word which has become mutilated geographically. "Our only hope for purer speech is through national radio hookups which will distribute into every Am- erican dialect the element of pure Eng- lish," she sald. "This can best be accomplished with children, for the entire creation of a child's style in speech takes place before the age of five. At this age its personality is crystalized." eA en.

"And each time it covered all Canada with an ice layer that varied in height up to 12,000 feet. Each time it melted. These processes went on hundreds of thousands of years ago. When the last great inva- sion of ice was over and had melted Lake Iroquois was formed--a lake" whose precise outline is not known but which is generally believed to have been a slightly larger edition of Lake Ontario, with a big gulf down by Syracuse, New York and an outlet through New England, instead of the St. Lawrence. Where the St. Lawrences outlet is now, there was, in the days of Lake Iroquois, a great wall of ice that covered all Quebec. Against this the waters beat in vain."

It continues: "Until now it has not been possible to achieve this aim. To be sure, it has been possible to construct an appara- tus comprising a sort of pump which, applied to an animal after the re- mo 'al of the ieart, maintains the creature's blood circulation. Neverthe- less, death is well-nigh instantaneous. "Moreover, the blood which it has been possible thus to circulate, thanks to the apparatus, is not the blood of the animal, but blood of an 'alien' ozigin, "For years the American Professor Gibbs has been working over a new appartus, He succeéded in making a device intended to replace the heart, and imitating perfectly its anatomy-- ventricles and auricles capable of maintaining perfectly the blood cir- culation of the animal during a cer- tain period. "Its one defect consisted in its in- capacity to adapt itself to the rhythm of the animal subjected to experiment, "Professor Gibbs went to Europe, where, at Vienna, he made the ac- quaintance of a Hungarian expert to whom he suggested that they work together in their researches." Soon, we are told, the experiment was crowned with success, The writer goes on: The artificial heart is an apparatus consisting of two pockets of rubber contained in a metallic envelop. "A current of electricity and a bat- tery regulate the flow of liquid into the apparatus, which in turn dilates and contracts. "Here is the mode of the experi- rn. ent--its technique: "The animal is put to sleep to avoid making it suffer needlessly. Its body is opened, and its heart is taken out. "To its arteries are adjusted the glass tubes of the artificial organ. The operation must not last more than a minute or two, for otherwise the life of the animal is imperiled. "Even when the operation proceeds at the required rate of speed, the ani- mal remains inanimate for a quarter of an hour at least. Only by degrees do the reflexes manifest themselves anew. "The circulation again becomes nor- mal, and the artificial heart as revived the animal. The animal thus revived has been kept alive for:more than six hours after the operation." -------------- ' Drinks and Baths for Pigeons A constant supply of pure drinking water is always of primary import ance in keeping pigeons healthy.
