When it is necessary to make sev- eral cakes at once, save yourself the tiresome beating of the batter by putting the required ingredients ia their usual order into a small ice cream freezer. A few minutes of turning the crank results in a fine, smooth batter necessary for a successful cake. This is a great improvement over beating with a 3j>oon after the old fashion. To prevent the bottom of kettles from becoming smoked soap them well before putting on the fire. To preserve brooms dip them for three minutes in a pail of boiling soap suds once a week. This makes them tough and pliable, and makes them wear much longer.

Attributed to Poorly Paid Em- j ployeesâ€" A Strike Threatened. ' Quite recently there have been no fewer than eighteen attempts at train wrecking in various parts of Italy, particularly m the southern â-  provinces, by means of false sig- ' nals aud by placing explosives on the tracks. These are the first re- sults of a campaign of obstruction aud sabotage which has begun <.>n the State railroads because of the Government's delay in satisfying the demands of the railroad men for higher wages. j Ninety thousand of the lower grade employees out of a total of 1-16.000 railroad men are getting from 37 to 62 cents a day. Most of these are married men who have large families, and many of them have worked on the State lines from fifteen to thirty years. i Prime Minister Luzzatti declares that the Government refuses to be coerced, and is resolved to punish severely the authors of such out- rages. The railroad men's fe<lera- tion threatens that unless the ques- tions in dispute are immediately debated in Parliament and settled to the satisfaction of the staff, a : general strike will be declared on i all the Italian railroads on the eve of the great international exposi- tion in Rome and Turin. to which it was necessary to descend in making the journey from Gilgal. 3. Sons of the prophets â€" These were some of the fruits of Elijah's strenuous loyalty to the true relig- ion. These young men had caught his spirit and were being trained by the older propho's at Bethel and Jericho and Gilgal, and it may be other centers, to continue the war against the heathen supersititions which threatened to destroy the na- tion. Knowest thou ?â€" We have no ink- ling as to how the knowledge of Elijah's impending departure had reached these schools. But, how- ever the news had come, Elisha was in no mood to discuss it. and warns the talkative youth that it is not a matter for idle gossip. 4.

Elijah's removal, and there is no- ♦.hing to indicate with certainty whether the rest of the language is the picturesque description of ."â-  storm, or whether it is a literal ac- count of what Elisha saw. There is. at any rate, a mystery here, as there was in the death of Moses, which it is useless for us to try to penetrate. Elisha' s cry was a fit- ting expression of what he must have felt in his heart, that he had lost one who had been more to him SECRETS OF THE SEA. Everybody has read of the dis- coveries made by dredging the sea- bottom along the shore of the an- tarctic continent but few have any idea how the work is done when the surface of the ocean is covered with ice five feet or more in thick- ness. The method employed is in- tkan a father, and who had been j terestingly illustrated in the recent to Israel more than her chariots and horsemen ; that is, her mili- tary defenses. So it was natural that he should find a vent for his grief by tearing in twain his own clothes (12). 13. The mantle of Elijahâ€" This reports of the British .\ntarctic Expedition of 1907-9.

He puts to proof at on«e this newly bestowed power, bv smiting the waters of the Jordan sod going over dry shod (14). This was suffi dredge on the bottom and in the right position. The cable is pulled by a man advancing from the for- ward hole as fast as it is paid out by another stationed at the rear hole.
