The letters he wrote and the task which he accom- plished reveal the hiKh nualities of his mind and heart. We now proceed to examine the forces that went to the formation of his early life. Here we have to consider, too, de.scent and en- vironment, or birth and surroundiiL's. He Lures the Salmon TiitmnriHilllllllhi; cions by his rights as a citizen. This fitU-d him to go to all parts of the empire and we find that his lan(,'uago is often colored by the different feat- ures of tho great Roman rule. __ <".

Circumcised the eichth ' day Paul was very proud of his Jew- j ish ance.-,try. His family belonged to the strift class. His circumcision wa.s | one of tne evidences of this, for it was j regarded as a primary duty of the â-  parents to see that their .ion was thus distinguished from all frenlile chil- 1 dren. It was because Paul afterwards j seemed to make circumcision of no . value that he was persecut?d by his : peoole. Acts '.^1 :21. | Hebrew of the Hebrews.

We learn Paul went to Jerusalem to complete his studies at the school of Gamaliel, a famous teacher, and rather literal in hi.s views. Some think that Paul was about fifteen years old at this time. This Jewish training was the lead- ing factor in Paul's eaily life and it exercised a permanent control over his thinking- Hi^ doctrines were largely drawn from Jewish sources.

Any Suntet English Cooks Excel, f„7j:i!,,'^;â„¢' '^""^â- â€¢Â«" "^^^^ '^^''^'^"^ London. â€" The English cook may not be able to cook vegetables as well as the Canadian. Her ice cream may fall far short of even our drug store variety, but I defy you to say that she knows nothing about savories. In England the savory, an appetizing kickshaw that gives just the right finish to a meal, is a course peculiarly British. You can dine in any country you choose, but only a British menu has a sting in Its tail. Now let me give you the recipes for typical Rnglisli savories, only remem- ber that those Intended to be served here should be served piping hot aud the cold really cold: _ Sardine Fingers Four medium-sized sardines, 1 hard- boiled egg, pepper, salt, paprika, but- ter to moisten, fingers of toast. Skin and bone sardines, place In saucepan with a dessertspoon of but- ter, add minced hard-boiled egg, stir till piping hot, adding more butter If necessary. Season highly and servo piled up on fingers of hot buttered toast, garnished with mustard and cress. Finnan and Cheese Toast Four ounces scraped {â- 'iunaii had- dock, 2 ounces grated cheese, 1 table- spoon milk or cream, 1 egg, half an ounce of butter, salt and cayenne, Angers of toast. I'lace butter, fish and milk In a saucepan, cook (stirring all the time) three to flvo minutes, then add cheese, beaten egK, salt and cayenne. Stir over a slow fire till mixture thickens, then pile on fingers of hot buttered toast. Garnish each with a tiny sprig of parsley aiul serve. Tlie toast should be soaked in butter. Cheese Custard Four ounces grated cheese, 1 gill cream or milk, 2 beaten eggs, cayenne and salt. Stir the eggs and cream Into the grated cheese, season to taste with cayenne pepper aud about a saltspoou of salt. Pour gently into a shallow, buttered flreproot dish and bako lightly from ton to fifteen minutes. Soft Poet on Tbast This will make the perfect finish to a good dinner. Just cut a slice of hot toast spread with anchovy paste then place a soft roe on each. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne. To prepare roes take them out of herring you are go- ing to season, dip in oatmeal In the Scottish fashion and fry as for break- fast. Or buy them, as we do In Lon- don, In cartoons. No matter, rlnso them In cold water, dry them with a cloth, sauto lightly In a little hot but- ter and place one on each finger of toast. If you cut toast In squares you win nood two roes for each. It pro- forred, rocs may be poached In hot hock or only one may bo served on each finger, garnished with a tiny curl of bacon baked on a skewer In tho ovun. Ham and Egg Toasts I''rlod croutons of bread, butter. Cut a slice of bread a quarter of an Inch thick, cut out croutons, fry in butter till nice and crisp, then spread each with eggs beaten and Rcrambled with a little butter cream If liked, and .seasoning. Heat two tablespoons of chopped ham with butter to moisten, though sometimes in England when using the famous York ham we sub- I stltute champagne tor butter. Put a I little pile of the hot ham In the centre I of each, sprinkle with cayenne and I dish up In a circle on a fancy paper I with a little fresh fennel or parsley i leaves iu the centre.â€" K. C. There's something about the going down of the sun. Whether It makes a bonfire of a cloud, Or. too obscure aud lonely to be proud, Slaka on the nearest rooftop, and is gone. There s something, not ol color nor of size. In the mere going, in the calm descent, Half out of heaven and half imminent; Final, as though it never again would rise. There's something In its very noisa- lessnesa. Unlike mad waters or the winds that shout Their end in one last agony of excess; Something that does not count Its days nor deeds. But trusts itself to darkness and goes out .,, And finds whatever afterlife it needs. â€" Louis Untermoyor. The Use of Wealth Yorkshire Evening Post (Cons.); It would be Interesting to speculate upon the comparisons historians will draw between England and America during the post-war epoch. The right use of wealth depends upon character, whether an Individual or a nation I3 concerned. Similarly, indigence Is a harsh and unreliable criterion of a nation's worth. It speaks much for the integrity and endurance of Eng- land that .through a period of stress and hardship almost unparalleled in our history, our Constitution, our rev- erence for order and law, and tho solidarity of our Empire still attract the admiration of the civilized world. This persistence, in face of dire self- denial, of what is best In our repute as a nation augurs well for our future development when Industry and Initi- ative shall have re-established our financial well-being. The sinews that have toughened through the severest strain they have yet experienced will not get so easily relaxed by the re- Bpouslbilities of wealth. ly Minister Gives Canada Praise ^, Neat Mending When about to darn or patch any j kind of material, place the work in I embroidery hoops, rather loosely, without stretc^.lng and witli the place to be mended at the cente^r. If a patch is required, baste It smoothly In l)lace underneath, then catch the edges of tho torn material onto it, using fine thread. The finer the I tl:re£d the better the finished work I will look. Then from the under side I catch tho edges of the patch onto the material. Use a fine needle and try ' not to let It pierce quite through to ' the right side. A patch s.'.iows less If it Is possible just to trim off tho torn i edges of the material and not turn them under. When doing mending. ' keep ail stitches loose so they will ' not pull the least bit. This is most Important. I When a patch is not nece.ssary, (ill i In the place with threads drawn from the goods Itself, letting the threads run in the sumo direction as tho threads of the goods. If sucfti' Ihreiid I of tho same color. One qften can ' match the color with embroidery cottons. I Mending that has been beautifully done sometimes looks conspicuous afterwards because a wrong method of pressing has been used. Never press a mended place from the wrong side because it throws up into ihigh relief all Uie threads used in the mending. Press from the right side, and not too hard nor with too hot an iron. In the case of heavy cotton goods or wooden goods, keep a press- ing cloth between tlie material and the Iron. Proud of His Country's R»«^ covery After Post War Depression Quebec â€" Canada's amazing reoo>rw ery from waitime effects and her re- markable development of poftt-W«^ y'eara represented "one of the hmm* amazing performances of any peopb* under the sun," aald Hon. James Mal- colm, Federal Minister of Trade anA Comm^eTce, at Quebec recently. All recognized Indl'Cea indicated Canada's remarkably aathrfactory In* temal condition, the Minister dechu>> ed, while a proper analysis of ImnDtS* gratlon figures showed that even though the numbers of Immlgranta from Oreat Britain had declined. Can* ada still was getting the aame share of the men who left Oreat Britain aa she did before fthe war. He quoted atatistlcs to demonstrat* this fact. In the peak years of 1911 to 1914 there was an annual emigra- tion from Oreat Britain of 260,000 and of tibia number 138,000 wag the an- nual average number going to Can- ada, about 50 per cent. LAst yeav British immigrants arriving In Can- ada totalled only 61,000 but even ao this represented 50 per cent of th* actual emigration from Great Britain during that period. In other word*» Mr Malcolm exflatned. Canada still continued to got as many British tov migrants as all the other ovenwas Dominions combined. For every two people who emigrated from Great Bri- tain Canada got one. So far as internal conditiona werW concerned, the Mlaiater stated that Canada had spent as mucCi in the laai six years in construction as woulA pay off the entire national debt. Thte was not railroad construction, under- taken with an eye to the future^ ha pointed out tnit the building of homes, factories and other busineee plants to meet the demands of the moment Additional proofs of Canada's stabil- ity and persistent expansion was the continual increase in employment in ::er wholesale and retail eatablish- ments, increased domestic investment and activity in her stock m&rkekts. Simultaneously with these conditions bank savings totals and life insurance also bad shown remarkable increases, he said. mill iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiii nil' H.R.H.

Our interposition in both those great ter- ritories was welcomed by all save the ruling minorities as a blessed relief from the oppression, anarchy aud chronic civil wars iu which they were plunged. Our relaxing hand threatens to plunge them again into the con- dition from which they were raised. To surrender such a trust is not to impose a benefit, but to perpetrate a cruelty and a crime. â-  Aâ€" X Mothei^â€" "My dear boy, never put off till to-morrow what can be done to-day." Young Hopeful â€" "Lot's eat tlio jam to-night." Teachers Mesisure Zeal Of French Pupils Daily Paris. â€" French pedagogues, with their pA-iisJon for thoroughness, have been investigating the oaily records of their pupils, to asvertain on what days, or at what limes, they are gen- erally most attentive to their studies and to the work of their classes. They have found that decidedly the bast day of the week is Tuesday, the whole diay. Next comes Friday afternoon and Saturday morning â€" schools have Saturday session. Then come in ordei Wednesday morning and MoTKiay evening, Friday and Monday morU' ings, and finally, least of all, Wednes- day and Satunlay afternoons. No mention is made of Thursdsy and Sunday, on which days schools are not in session. It is to be observed that the half-days immediately preced- ing them, however, aro the worst times of tho whole week. Investigation has also been made to ascertain what were the favorit* subjects of Instruction, with the result that chief attention was found to h» given to mathematics and the lenat to drawing:. It is suggested that this expains why pupils who are d«teeted in drawing caricatures during the lec- tures or lesson of the class, protest that It did not interfere with their studious attention to the lesson before them, the drawing being done without their minds being centred upon it. . « Agriculture and Industry Quebec Rvonement (Cons.): Poe the few hundred thousand farmers who succeed in the West, there are â-  million who are languishing, more or less, In th'e old provinces.
