Let it scald, not boil ; then odd a tablcspoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and then add a can of shrimps. The entire cost is about 30 cents, and it makes a inenl fur several persons. Serve hot with toasted bread, cra-.-kers, or croutons. Add more milk if more jfiavy is desired. Liver and Bacon. â€" A new way of fireparing liver and baeon is to scald the liver, peel off all outside skin, place in a baking pan, lay strips of baroR over each, slice, and bake in quite a hot over. The ba- con bastes the meat and it is sweet, tender and juicy. And it ai£o docs away with spattering the stove. Mfcxican Eggs. â€" Take three sweet grten p<!ppcrs, split lengthwi.se an<l remove the core and seeds. Fry very thin slices of ham and place each piece on a slice of toast.

This beef loaf is far to work it with, about one hour tied. u,io Bailee. iiiis oeei loai is lai j>erior to the ono with eggs ad- CLEANING. Carved Furniture.â€" To clean deeply carved furniture use a soft, rrtdium-sized sponge. Squeeze as tiry as possible out of tepid water and go over the carving. It will take up all the dust. Rub dry with a soft cloth and you will be de'ighted with the result. Carpets and Rugs. â€" Eight ounces of salsoda, four ounces powdered borax, one-half pint of alcohol, one pcund of white soap, five gallons of rai" water. Dissolve soap in on© gf.llon water by boiling, put in tub, then add soda and borax, mix, then add remaining four gallons water, stir, and then put in also- Lol. Let stand an hour or two be- te re using. Use with hair brush, scrub place about a yard square at a time. Take sponge, dipping in clear water, squeezing out as dry IS possible, and wipe surface of car- pet or rug. Don't walk on the car- pet or rug while wet. THE SEWING ROOM. When sewing with silk thread al- ways use a new machine needle, as a blunt one causes the silk to draw cr pucker. I Curtain Hint. â€" In making sash curtains of swiss, hem both sides the width of the selvage; one turn| IE enough. They will wear longer, j i'-on easier, and look a hundred per| c«nt. better than with the selvage ! edge. I Kitchen Aprons. â€" Take as many| widths and lengths as desired of ca-i lico or gingham, sew together and 'â-  hem both ends. Draw a tape thiough one end to tie around thej waist; either end can be used to draw tape through. When washed take out the tape and vou have' llat work to iron. Aprons made! ti'is way are made quicker than the apron with band and strings, and; laundered in half the time. Padding Embroidery Work. â€" For Ibis lint cotton is much better than thread ; moisten the finger tips and roll the cotton, size and , l<5ngth wanted, and put in plutcetind work over it. No shrirju^ required, as most thread,cltfcs. , â- ' HOUSEHOLD HINTS. A sprig of parsley eaten after on- ions or leeks prevents the offensive ticath which is so annoying to other people. | Milk may be kept from scorching if the pan in which it is to be cook- | ed is rinsed in ctild water before the ' milk is poured in. To clean glass globes soak them' in warm water and soda, add a fewi drops (jf ammonia to the water, and wash them with a well-soaked flan-j r.el.

To improve the color of the hands â-  f red, try tho following mixture : Take equal parts of rosewatcr, le- rcim juice and glycerine. Mix Unse thoroughly and bottle. Rub the hands liberally every night with this preparation. It should be shaken before use. Few i)eoplo know how to hang fhects properly upon the line. Shake them well while still wet, and hang them with the hems to- gether and the hem-edge pinned to ilie line.

The best means of encouraging truthfulness in children is through mutual sympathy, which teaches the child uncomplainingly to occept mother's wishes as law. To win this trust a mother's correction shculd never outrun her love. It a child onco feels that the day has g<jno by with a lessening of the mother's love, the influence of the mi tlicr for good is dangerously weakened. Undue harshness is ono of those irreparable errors we are euro to regret. THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, JULY 3. Lesson I. Pictures of the Kingdom, Hatt. 13. 31-8, 44-52. Golden Text, Bom. 14. 17. Verse 31. Mustard seeel- A pro- verbial emblem of an exceedingly sn.all quantity. Not the tinnber tr<>e, but the black mustard, a gar- den herb, sown annually, is refer- r<'d to. 32. Less than all seedsâ€" Not, of course, literally bo ; rather by po- pular estimation, since in ordinary gaidening no smaller seed was ever sowed. "Small as a mustard seed" was a common Jewish say- ing, in which was exercised the poetic license often found in the proverb. When it is grown â€" The impres- sion is not of rapid development, but of the contrast between the in- significant origin and the mature product. Tho Christian believer can afford to wait until the seed is grown. Greater than the herbs â€" It tow- ers above the pulse, parsley, and mint ("ten feet high, drawn up amongst brushes, and not thicker than whip-cord"; "as tall as the horse and his rider"), so that^ to all intents, it has the appearance of a tree. The birds . . . come and lodge â€" An Old Testament expression for the spread of a great kingdom, £iv- ing shelter to many (Ezek. 31. C; Dan. 4. 9-18). The application of the parable is self-evident. From a perie>d of precarious life amidst persacutions and toils, the kingdom of heaven has gradually enlarged JtE sway till it has become a world- wide protector of the poor and op- pressed, and a power that can no longer be neglecte^d in any of the Councils of men. During the nine- teenth century the number of the adherents of Christianity increased more than in all the preceding cen- turies of the Christian era. 33. Leaven â€" The fermented dcugh, lightens it. Scientists have dihcovered that this effect is pro- duced by tiny living organisms 46. A merchaDt seeking-rHe re- ptesents the man who devotes his life- to tho diligent quest of truth. Goodly pearls â€" There is a cer- tain beauty and lustre to other re- ligions, but they have no absolute value ; and if a man is in deadly earnest to find the best, ho will not fctop with them. 46. Found one pearl of great piice â€" ^The end of all life is to find for oneself this gem of solitary stlendor. What was the price? All that he had. Was it too high? It i? no less for any of us. Life eter- nal is a jewel of such transcend- r.nt rarity, that nothing else will match it except the unwithholding renunciation of a human being. 47. A net â€" The seine, or drag- net, which is often worked by fast- ening one end to the shore and carrying the other end out to sea in a wide circle and afterward bringing it to the starting point, thus inclosing all the fish of every kind, as in the world are men of every type and condition. Until the final disposition of all, the good pud bad freely mingle. 49. The end of the world â€" As in the case of the tares, the angels are the agents of judgment. 52. Every scribe â€" By his use of pcrabolic teaching Jesus has shown how the disciples may become tea- chers and give apt instruction in th'i things of the kingdom. Like a householder, who takes out of his chest old things and new, so they iire> to present to men not only the old truth in the old way but both ckl and new in a new way, lik§ their Master presenting all truth thiough the vehicle of commonplace facts and experiences of life and nature centrifugal pumps would extract the whole of the sand contained within her in from one to two mcnths.

Her con- tents, according to evidence of a thoroughly reliable nature, were valued at $1,000,000. I estimate that the greater part of the specie could be recovered in six months at a maximum cost of $35,000. MIGHT WIN $3,500,000. "No. 3 Wreckâ€" The worth of the contents of this vessel represents a value of more than $3,500,000 in specie. She lies in twelve fathoms of water, on an ocean bed cover- ed by kelp.

When England assumed sole con- ticl in 1882 Egypt was still bank- rupt, with a public debt of more than $500,000,000 and an income in- sufficient to pay the interest and carry on the Government. The public revenue in 1883 amounted to $4,500,000; in 1907 to $SI, 500,000, more than $10,000,000 ia excess of the expenditures. On January 1, 1908, the sum of $45,- 000,000 was in the general reserve fund and the public debt was re- eluced in 1908 by $1,600,000; it now is $479,000,000.

Besides these six- teen wrecks, the contents of which I have ascertained, sixteen further wrecks remain, all of which I have located, but not yet surveyed."

The filling of milk bottles by or- dinary methods is such a tedious task for large metropolitan milk companies that a machine to do the work has become an absolute ne- cessity.

A treasure hidden in the field â€" In the East it was not unusual for men to conceal their wealth in this way, because of the uncertain tenure of property. Often, because of the vicissitudes of life, tho woalth would remain unclaimed in its hiding place. .\ man foundâ€" His coining by sheer accident upon the treasure, without seeking at all, is true to li.'e. Many a man finds himself sinldonly confronted with a noble tiuth, in the Bible or out of it, and in obligcil to take an attitude to- ward it, either of receptivity or of refusal. Selleth allâ€" The man who is keen enough to recognize the unrivaled worth of salvation will experience only joy in paying the necessary pjice. The test of sincerity, in ev- eryone who conies face to face with t'le truth, is simply whether he is willing to give all he has and is in order to make it his own. And surely, that which alone fully satis- fus the longings of the human heart, and fills up the whole mea- sure of being, warrants tho sur- render of all those things which do r.< t, and never can, satisfy. Buyeth that field â€" It is easy to Hflk foolish questions in the inter- pietation of a psrable. Hero, for example, one may ask: "Can one purchase membership in the heav- enly kingdom ) Was it right for the man to hide the treasure before go- injt to buy the field " No parable is to be interpreted to the remot- est detail. Certainly, salvation is not a commercial commodity, and if the man's conduct seems like shrewd practice, it is only on the fringes of the story. The essential thing is, that he was eager to act toward that treasure as any roan ought to act in the presence of great spiritual opportunityâ€" he joy- fully pcrted with what was of small account In order to beoome owner ot y>itijlt, comparatiT«l7, was of ia- &aiWhkooova%.

Little by little, however they learned that another era had opened, asd final- ly their suspicions were calmed. They then began to work with re- newed energy, and now, secure in the fruits of their labor, they aro cot merely improving their own c( nditions, but are building up the reputation of their country. ., CROWN JEWELS PROTECTED. luiprovemeuts in the Strong Room In Tower of London. The alterations in the strong room in the Wakefield tower of the Tower of London are nearly com- plete, and when the jewel room is reopened, visitors v.^ill find a great chansce in the structure and inter- nal fitting. A fresh stone flooring has been laid and a new steel grid has been built to enclose the plate glass showcase containing the re- galia. The bars of this grid are of tem- pered steel, placed closer together than the bars of the old case. A hidden electric alarm of the latest typo has been connected with the new grid, so that if a bar be a car carries the filled bottles either to a cold-storage room or a platform from which wagons are loaded. The machine is claimed to be ab solutely sanitary, even the caps* for the bottles being sterilized after they are placed within it. The rate of operation may be regulated to the fraction of a second by a speed- adjuster, operated by a hand- wheel. This is necessary because it Colony the captain selected no i tykes more time to fill a quart hot fewer than 137 of the more valu able and accessible wrecks and succeeded during the course of sev- en years, at an expenditure of $20,000, in locating thirty-two of t! cm. Of these ho has actually surveyed sixteen and recovered surface property from four of them. The government of the Cape of Good Hope has granted licenses to work these vessels, subject to a royalty of 15 per cent, of the value of property recovered. In his report Captain Gardiner says : WRECKS WORTH MILLIONS. "Although I ascertain the have been able to tie than a pint.
