Household Made \Vitk AMpu Asparagus is one of the things that make us glad when spring comes. Its flavor, like the first warm winds that blow out of an April sky, is a delicate forerunner of the richer gifts of summer. And yet ie there one o-f all the many vegetables that the warm suns of summer bring out that is more toothsome than asparagus ? From the housewife's point 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 sa'.t and butter you have a dish fit for a king. Tlie matter of boiling, however, is sometimes a stumbling-block. 'We all have seen asparagus come to the table with decapitated heads. This ifficultv is due to the fact that the of jS.u<ls are so much tenderer than Ihe stalks that when the stalks have P -Aeen 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 < pounds a day too much. Sihe wrote the company a statement of the facts and announced that she would henceforth weigh her ice. The case was investigated and it was found that the Iceman was accustomed to shaye these few pounds from each customer, and when he had accu- mulated a few hundred pounds by this method, sell it, and pot'ket the proceeds. Another way of promoting dishon- esty is for the careless housewife to give the iceman an extra quarter "to give her a good, 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 ixiiinds may be had for $3 or $4, and they are em- phatically a household necessity. Useful Hints. Hardwood floors should be dusted daily. Hot vinegar is good to serve with spinach. Always breajc rather than cut as- paragus. Never cover the pot in which you cook greens. Boil brass curtain rings in vine- gar to clean them. Rhubarb jam is a good filling for the children's sandwiches. The best dressing for asparagus is butter and pure cream. Camphorated oil will remove white spots from furniture.

Grenfell tells in his 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 decided to go over a short cut a seventy-mile trail through the wilderness that had long been unused. The leader of our team was named Brin. He, was a yellowish-brown fellow with queer black markings somewhat like those of a tige.r. They gave his face- the appearance of an eternal grin an impression that his odd way of turning up the cor- ners of his mouth when he caught your eye intensified. Of all the cav- alcade, he alone had ever seen the trail, and that only once, years be- fore. Nothing of particular interest ha.ppened until we came to the edge of Hanging Marsh. There was not a mark on its virgin face. If 1 had to find my own way to the trail on the farther s<ide, I Mhould have had to go all round the edge, and per- haps miss iit, after all, for the blazes yn the trees were obs-cured by ice. The outlook was discouraging. Our only assets were our pocket com- passes, our axes, and Brin. It was a moment of real excite- ment whein he led off at a gallop across tlie big whit* marsh straight for a lone, spruce. As we whisked by it, I can almost swear he looked back at me and winked. \Ve had been told that about ten miles from the marsh there was a forkexl juniper tree, standing by it- self. The top bougihis had been stripped from it, and the skull and antlers of a caribou fixed in the cleft. The utter inaccuracy of our map had le,d me to forget this land- mark, and^I was excessively sur- prised to hear my chum shout omt, "There she is!" "There's what 1 !" "Why, the skull in the tree." A little later we. passed the ridge of the CJoudy Hills, a.nd there seem- ed to lie between us and our go.l nothing but miles of rolling forest. How mudli longer could we trust Brin? He had swung off almost a.t right a.nglos ad was guiding the other dogs along the nppe.r e<!'ge of the woods. A minute later he dash- ed in-to the forest. There were no ir.arki". of nny kind whatever, and it was a long tome since we had t^en any indicati.,)!!.* thai we were fol- 1'owing a trail. Suddraly Hri-n jumped in.;.;> a fi 'sh fox track, and a* unos in- creased hi.s pace. It seemed to us that he was making fools of us, aaid B.I WP decided to ha.lt thv team. "What's the best thing to do, John?" I asked. "There's still time to make tiarn.p before dark." Hrin was H'". : rig bolt uprijilit on his haunches, staring direst ly at us as if he nr.d'-r,<.t::':.d every.lh.ing we were saying. As he caught my eye, I'c put his head on on? rid? and actually pok-d ou>t his t r I'jue, ritl th" i as I threw myself <ci \h*> ^!( v dK,^ ho started off at a tr-..; iU:ng the fox track. Finally, we came out o>i a river bed tih.it dnd'i'd in a lake. There was nut t!ie fiaintest indicn^ii; .:i tj d>et?r- mi'.ie whether we t-h<ui!d tuni north, nmtli, cast, <r west. It sermed ]i;is- B : b!, however, to eliminate t.he east, because we could see across the lake a high range of hills. Yet without hesitation Brin headed straight for them. On on on until at last we came to the woods. The dogs went straight into the for- est, and in half a minute, were on opposite sides of a doze-n 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 up and looking back. I went in his direction. To my amazement, I found that he was standing in a well-marked path th.it ran at an acute angle up the hill '. There was no troube after that, and by eight o'clock we were at Island Harbor. Before turning in, I went out to see what the night wa.s. 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 Brin 'A eyes. They were asking unmistakably, "How did I please you to-day, master?" I could not help putting my arms round his neck and hugging him. Then we both went off to our beds, the happier for it. Bfll/r ITON !. llll.l.S. Valparaiso IH One of I ho .Most Curi- ous of (.'it it's. The City of Valparaiso is built upon nineteen hills, like Rome upon her seven. It is one of the most curious cities in the world, says the National Magazine. Its hilk ripe from 300 to 1,100 fe*t, and the city is ranged upon them, tier above tier, in sections that are separated by deep gullies, through ma-ny of which flow lively little rivers. Wind- ing t tret-ts climb, as in Lisbon, by the aid of stuirw'ays, Idfts a.nd in- clined tramways, up from the docks to the hilltops. The houses a-re mo- dern, but not notable- architectur- ally.

Amid aii the signs of decline which many observers profess to detect Parliament to-day one poBltlon stand free of reproach. With undlmlmahed authority the Speaker respects Houge. and the House respects the Speaker. This lit the very essence or order In the Institution which ha won the title of the Mother of Parliaments. In a new book, "The Speaker of the House," Michael Macdonough describes the origin and romantic history of Speakership. This office, which holds so many pitfalls, is treated as one or great honor and dignity. A oalary or $25 000 a year, u palatial residence and a retiring pension of $20.000 a year, with a peerage, are the distinctions the na- tion bestows on the First Commoner II England. During the Parliamentary session the Speaker gives two full dress levees and seven full dress dinners, or the many ancient perquisites of the of- fice only two. Mr. Macdonough tells us, now survive.

Queen Mary Slid Downstair.. The late Lord Suffield was for forty years officially attached to the royal household and he was a personal friend of the royal family during the greater part of his life. Last year Lord fauf- neld published an Interesting volume of memoirs, chiefly dealing with reminis- cences of the court. There are some merry stories in the volume.

The guardians sent her to a professor at the Koyal College of Music, who reported that he could Bay without any reserve that those critics who lis- tene<! to her at the college were greatly surprised by her gifts.

THt SUM SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, ,' MAY 17. Lesson VII. The Rich Man and La- \ zarus. Luke 16. 14, 15, 19-81. , Golden Text, Prov. 21.19. Verse 19. A certain rich man ' . His name is nowhere given, the , popular title "Dives" being mere- , ly the Latin for "a rich man." In purple and fine linen The outer gj>.vment was made of the "purple" and the undet of the "lir.en." Both materials were very expensive. Tlie name ''pur- . pie" was at first applied only to ^ the liquid dye obtained from a " ehellfish, 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 color. 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 means simply lay. The position of the beggar at the gate, or probably portico, indicates the grandeur of the house. 21. We are not told that Lazarus was not given the crumbs that 'fell from tlie rich man's table. The fact that he lay there day after day and the rich man knew him would indicate that he shared favors and abuse alike witih the dogs. His position does not imply, however, that he was not given enough to satisfy his hunger. As the dogs were regarded as unclean animals, the poor man's misery would be doubly exaggerated by them. No- tice, however, that he does not murmur against Uod nor against the rich man. Later there is no exultation over the reversal of their positions. 22. Thus is, of course, only a par- able, and we should not look for 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 abode. 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 his lack of sympathy. It could not have been because he was rich, since Abraham himself had been a rich man. 24. Father Abraham -The rich man was a Jew, a descendant of Abraham, and he appeals to their relationship and to Abraham's fa- therly compassion. Send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, 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 about others. There is no one to help him and he must implore the snwjl- est service. 25. Thou in thy lifetime reeeivedst thy good things He received these good things as his own and used them for his selnsh pleasure, but he made no investments for tli future life. 26. Abraham tel-ls the rich man that it is impossible to interfere with his lot or with that of Lazarus. 28. Testify A strong word mean- ing to "testify earnestly and thor- oughly. " 29, 30. Jesus doubtless had in mind the craving of the Pharisee* for a sign, and wishes to warn them, as well as all of his hearers, that if they made no attempt to use the .opportunities which they had, new signs and wonders could not permanently aid them. 31. If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be permitted, if one rise from the dead Jesus knew the books of the law and the prophets to which he referred. As a child doubtless, with his mother and in the syna- gogue school, he had 'learned the prophetic precepts ind warnings against sin and selfishness, and he knew that those who had been thus taught God's will need not walk in darkness. He knew also that those not interested in these sacred teachings would not repent and change even if one rke from the dead. POINTED PARAtlRAPH$. The weigh of the transgressor is short.
