T.i banana pulp add one cupful of sugar, one and one-half tablespoon- -fuhj of lemon juice, a few grains of salt and one quart of- thin crea». Fieeze, using three parts ol finely cru.shcHl ice to one part of rock salt, which insures a smooth, fine grained consistency. Serve in coupe glasses and garnish with sec- tions of banana slices and candied cherries. -~ Srrbp Salad â€" Cut largo selected bananas in halves crosswise and cut sectiona from skin«.

Fill skin with mixture, arrange each on a lettuce leaf, and garnish with thrc« slices of banana overlapping one another. Nut Loaf.â€" Putin a bowl and stir lagether the** fourths cupful of butter, one and one-half, cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of chopped pecan nuts, four eggs, the rind of one le- mon grated, two and one-half cup- fuls of flour, and two good tea- spoonfuls of baking powder. Frost- irg : Grate the rind of one good orange, then squeeze all the juice, then add about one-half po^d of powdered sugar, so you can ^read smoothly on cake. Decorate top and sides of cake with whole pieces of nuts. leaves of plants kept indoors should be washeid every week. Plants take in as mueh nourishment through their leaves as through their roots, and it is impossible for them to do this if the leaves are covered with dust. Beeswax or mutton suet may be rrbbed round boots and shoes in w( t weather to kt^ep out the damp. i To preserve kid shoes rub them ' over at night with a little vas^ine, j anc'. polish them in the njorning. The samot treatment may be ap- plied to patent leather. The best way to clean a white etamel bath is to put a little tur pentine in a saucer, get a small; apparent 29. Come. And Peter went â€" A] command from Jesus was all that! he needed (compare Luke 5. S). Walked upon the waters to come to Jesu.s â€" The wish to do a bold thing, in order to prove his loyaity, was native to Peter. (A year later he said: "I will lay down ray life for thee.) The words imply some- thing more than a mere attempt ending in instant failure. He made actual progress. 30. When he saw the wind â€" His trouble began when he took his A REAL ROMANCE. Gallantry Ui.'^placed by a Bandil Chief. The saying that there is honor among thieves suggests the thought that if the virtue began a little fur ther back it mi^hiL tirevCut any practise of th^e 'profession. How- ever, brigandage being an estab- lished fact, one may permit him- self to admire the gallantry dis- played by the bandit whose exploit THE SEWING ROOM. For Darning. â€" For ordinary fine hose sew bobbinet over hole, then darn hole one way. Darn over goblet instead of darner. Tc avoid raveling after hand made scallops have been launder- ed stitch the outer edge of the stamped scallop firmly on the ma- chine before, working the scallops. Felling Hint. â€" Use the soft white cord that is sold for heavy cording to underlay solid white embroidery. It saves the many underlaid stitch- es, and gives the work the smooth appearance that few embroiderers achieve. Making Mending Easier. â€" How many of you know that rents in woolen goods can be mended much more nicely by using the rubber ti.ssue than by hand? Turn the goods wrong side up, lay a piece of tha tissue a little larger than tha rent over and over the tissue a piece of goods like the piece to be mended. Then cover smoothly with a damp cloth hand press with a hot iron until dry. The place will hardly show. Can mend torn c >ats, trousers, and umbrellas in this way. Madras Curtain Hint.â€" Madras curtains are pretty and easily laun- dered. Get wide, good quality Ma- dras, being of better texture. Lay in strong suds of naphtha soap, run stick through hems, and hand on line. When nearly dry take down f<:ld evenly, and smoothe with your hands. This can be done in a few H'inutes, and hang more ?venly than when ironed, and the figure or design is more prominent. THINGS WORTH KNOWING. Cold sores will generally yield to ai application of salaratus. To improve tough meat and make it tender, rub it well with a cut lemon. Baked things will not keep well unless thoroughly cold before stored. A corn may be eased by the ap- plication of a little oil of pepper- mint. When buying fish, remember it should be stiff, and the flesh firm to the touch. A large cotton re«l may be neat- ly covered, and fastened to the floor with a long screw for a door stop. Blankets while drying should be well beaten with a cane carpet- beater to make them fluffy. ' Potato soup is much improved by the addition of a little chopped watercress, scattered over just be- fore serving. A little flour spread over the top of cakes before they arc iced will prevent the icing from running. New flannels must always be washed in two lathers. There is a certain amount of dress to get out before the dirt will move. Old tablecloths should not be dis- carded for rags. Cut out the best parts, hem and use for face towels â€"they are delightfully soft for the purpose. Fruit stains on linen should be rubbed as soon as possible with methylated spirit, and the stains will disappear. When making a boiled apple pudding, try the addition of half a teaspoonful of powdered ginger, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and the juice and grated rind of half a lemon to the appl . Care of Recipes.â€" Have a num- ber of large envelopes of heavy wrapping paper. Write the name of recipes on th-» front of ^he enve- lopes. By using the envelopes miiph time and trouble will be saved. * Travelling bags, after the holi- day, often look yfry travel worn. Brush those of black leather with a good boot polish. The brown bags should be first washed with saddle soap, and then polished with brown boot polish. When frying ham or bacon for bieakfast always place it in thci pan before putting it on the fire. It conks and browns much quicker and better than if pu^ on in a warm pan. ^ If the hands are stained'from fruit or any household work, rinse well in cold water without soap, then rub with a squecaod lemon, then rinse again. Wash with soap arid water, and the stains will have disappeared. To Keep Plants Green.â€" The THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATION.iL LESSON, JUNE 5. LesBom X. Jesus Walks in the Sea« Matt. U. 22-36.
