There is a zestful tartue s to this jam and it.i color suKSC'sts «hi> coolness ot the berry on the bush. Gooseberry jam will undoubtedly be popular as a hreakfaot sweet, and it Is a re- freshing change with biscuils at tea time or late evening buffet. The recipe given here ha 5 been caie'u.Iy tested and miike.s perfect jjra of l^io same delicate shade of the ripe Rv;os:'berry. (500SKI1EURY JAM. 4 curs (2 lbs.

VEGETABLE RECIPES Here are sonn; new and dil'tei-ent C'.nbinations i.n- vi.'getables: Escalloped Carrots Prepare .-six large carrots, and one ( nioa. Place layers of sliced carrot in a bakin.g disli, sprinkling .'^hreds of liuely slced onion between the layers. Season wit-'i salt and pep- per, add enough milk to cover, cov- er with a lid and bake till tender. Then remove lid, drain off any su- Iieriiucuis moisture, put a tew dabs ot butter on top of the carrots and put back in the oven to brown. Carrot and Cabbage Salad.

Drain, and ma.<;h witft butter and milk. This makes a pleasing chaiigo from plain mash:^d pr.C'-toes. CANNING TIME-TABLE. It is a g;eat help in canning to have a time-table teling just how lo:;,'; tu process the material. Many failures in caiiii ng are the result of deiicient processin;;. The- Ideal way i> to u.;e a pressure cooker, but wilhout this results are certain if 1''ie proper processing is given. The linns maiHifacluring glass Jars usu- ally issue a bi'lletin giving the pro- per time for each product. Another very important thing is the use of new rubber tings. In the old days, wiien fru t was cooked in the open ke'tle and then put into a heated Jar, and sealed, most housejteepers sav- ed t.ha rings, when the jars vere oii.-jr.ed and used them again. The rings were not subjected to the In- tense heat of processing, and it is auite possible that many of them were safe to Ujo, though this prac- tice was taking an added risk. Now, however, witli our cold-pack system, we Ml ink it very unwise to use a rubber ring more than once. Too much depends on it. It is insurance against failure to buy the best qual- ity of rings, and to use new ones each season. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Moth; will not attack woollen gar- ments if they are kept .when not in use, in a bag made of unbleached calico, which has been wrung out ot turpentine and dung in the open to dry. Save all riuds of oranges and le- mons. Allow them to dry thorough- ly, then keep them in a close-cover- ed glass container. Wheu seasoning Is needed for a pudding or a cus- tard, grate a little of the rind. Orange peel can be made Into a pleasant sweet instead oC being thrown away. Cut in thin strips, boil until quite tender In a light syrup of sugar and water. Remove from syrup anil coat with castor sugar. T>he sun is better for bleaching than anything else. Lay the washed garment to be whitened on the grass without wringing out the water. The most obstinate article will be beau- tifully white after a few soakings and dryings. Remove all .-ubstantial buttons from worn-out overalls by cutting the doth around them in two-inch tiipiarcs. When other overalls have squares. When other overalls have their buttons pulled out, sew this two-ino'i i)iece of material over the hole aand they are patched and but- loaed. Banana slices that have been dip- ped ill pineapple or grapefruit Juice for from fifteen to thirty seconds and then removed, keep their natural color for several hours. If your potatoes or beans scortVi, uet the pan in another pan of cold water. After they cool, lift out into another vessel and there will be no burnt taste at all. Good sandwiches are made of one cup chopped stuffed olive-, six chop- ped hard-boiled eggs, salt and may- onnaise. Place shredded lettuce on whole W'heat bread and spread the paste. HOUSEKEEPING IN SPAIN. In spite 'it various other changes ill Spain, simplicity is still the key. note of the home, according to a tra- vel correspondent in the Weekly Irish Times. The Spanish woman is less hoi:se-proud Wian wo are, yet has a greater record for family treasures. Floors in the middle-class houses aie mostly scrubbed or polished wood or tile. The polished wood glows liy reason ot the vigor with which a polishing pad worn over one sihoo is rhythmically worked all over tlie Hour. Walls are color- washed; pictures are few. Furniture ot carved oak or Spanish mahogany, without upholst- ery, suits this simple setting, but often a couple of wicker chairs, wit>ii cushions, are included. The simplest window drapings ot fluted net are the alternative to no curtains at all â€" the windows, whicli open on to ironheat ot the day and at night. Just behind Wiese deeply set windows the Spanish housewife sits and sews for hours. Very little fuss is made about meals in the average Spanish homo. Uieakfast consists of strong black coffee and bread â€" where it is taken "Miss Spain" â€" Miss .•Alicia Navarro, 21-yearold brunette, who comes from the Canary Islands, is being crowned by Kalph Lynn, as "Miss Europe i;)35." An international jury judged the fifteen beauty contestants. Marks were awarded for head, body and general characteristics. SUNDAY _choolesson =i^ LESSON VII.â€" August 18. MARTHA (A HOME-MAKER). â€" Luke 10: 38.42; John 11: 17.28. GOLDEN TEXT: â€" Jesus loved Mar. tha and her sister and Lazarus. â€" John 11: 5. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time. â€" The visit of Jesus to the home of Martha at Bethany took place in December, A.D. 2'J. The rais- ing of Lazarus from the dead took place probably one mouth later. Jan- uary, A.D. 30. Place. â€" Bethany, a small viila;j.\ about two miles from Jerusalem, on ti!u) southeast side of llie Mount of Olives. "Now as they went oU tlieir way, lie entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha re- ceived him into her house." The event de cribed in Luke 10: 38-42, at all. Butter is a luxury. "Biinua- los'' â€" long tubes of pastry which have been cooked in boiling fat and tossed in soft sugarâ€" are sometimes served when guests are present, but they are rarely made at home. A pastry cook brings them before breakfast with the quaintly shaped bread. A mid-day meal ot bread, cheese, possibly an omelette and the inevit- able red wine takes little time to prepare. On hot days a siesta is the order of tile afternoon, and at about four o'clock coffee without milk is served again, accompanied by sweet biscuits. The evening meal requires the big- gest efl'ort of the day on the part oi: the cook, and is laid any time be- tween eight and eleven o'clock. Soup Is followed by fish or an omelette, in the making of which the Spanish svoinan is an expert. Next comes a dish of potatoes and beans cooked together and a separate dish of moat. .V nourish may be given to the re- past by a delicious confection made iif (juinces â€" a sort ot quince cheese. It is not the housewife's duty to plan a different "sweets" course â-  â- very day. for her family iiardly ever bothers about puddingsâ€" a fact which saves her much trouble. She looks, and is, placid. The Car- meiiH ot Spain are not to be found in middle-class homes. occurred during what we are kd to believe was the first visit of Jesus to this home, though it may bo that he knew tiiese beloved followers ot his for some time previous to this particular visit. "And she had a sister called Mary, who also iat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word." In the person ot Mart.ha, we have one not only given to hospitality, but one w'ho also, al- ong with Mary, had rejoiced to sit at the Lord's feet, and hear his wortl. "But Martha was cumbered about much serving." One has sometimes seen women W'hoso faces are liter- ally drawn round with anxiety, with a permanent twist, distracted in mind and in love. "And she canio up to him, and said. Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone'? hid her therefore that she -help mo." In such a mood as this, Martha ilid the inevitable. She lost her temper. "But the Lord answered and said unto bin', Martha, Martha, t.hou art anxious and troulileil about many things." For most of us, such a moment of tension, following so dis- courteous .a remark, would be ex- ceedingly embarrassing, and most ot us would find it dillicnlt to .say any- thing that might help. "But one thing is noedtul: for Mary •hath chosen the good part, which shall not bo taken away from her." By the one thing needtul, he certainly meant ultimately the teed- ing on the bread of life by faith; which faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ, which Mary was now receiving into her soul and which (John fi: 54), shall never be taken away, but re- sult in everlasting I'le. "So w'aon Jesus came, ho found that ho had been in the tomb four days already." It was necessary to his work that ho should know of Lazanis's death; it was not necessary that â- lie should know how long he had been buried, nor where he had been buried (v. 34). "Now Bethany was nigh unto Jer- usalem, about fifteen furlongs off." A turlong, or stadium, was about GOO feet, or one-eighth of a Roman mile. "And many of the Jews iiad come to Martha aand Mary, to console them cimcernlng their brother." It was a part of the Jewish ceremonial of grief, which was almost accurate- ly defined, that t.here should be a largo gathering ot friends and ac- quaintances, not less than ten, to i;indole'with those that mourned for tlieir dead (I. Chron. 7: 22; Job 2: 11). ".Martha. therefore, wiheu she heard that Je-us was coming, wont and met him." Martha was among the women about Christ as Peter was among the twelve disciples, al- ways taking tlie initiative, botih in action and in conversation. Martha first heard of the Lord's approach because, as head of the house, she would, naturally, be the first to w^Uoni his coming would be report- ed, and, also, becau.-e she apparent- ly was engaged with household du- ties, and news coulfl reach her more easily than it would her secluded sistei. 'But Mary still sat In the house." 'IV.ie deeper, tenderer na- ture remains in the house, overcome with grief, and niiuo occupied with the numerous well-meauing friends who were endeavoring to cons>»le her. "Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if tiiou hadst been here, my brother had not died." Not a re- proach. however gentle, but an ex- pression of deep regret. "And even now I know that, what- soever thou Shalt ask ot God, Cod will give thee." This is a d(ieper nonlideiico tJian that which recognizes the efhcacy of the prayers of any good man. Martha wistfully ex- presses faith in Jesus not only as her friend, but as the Son of God. "Jesus saith unto her. Thy brcith- pr shall rise again." Christ's first consohitioii, and ilie Christian's cliiel consolation at such an hour. "Martha sailh unto him, 1 know that ho .s'hall rise again in the resur. rection at the la^t day.'' She does not deny the tremendous doctrine of r(^surrection at the Last Day. She replies that she knows it and ac- cepts it. But, like many :inollier jncniriier. .s.he fails to derive much immtdl.ite consulatlon froji It. "Jesus said unto her, 1 am the res- urrection, and the life." Here, as so often in his conversations, the Lord turns the attention of one away from himself or herself to the per- son ot the Saviour iiimself. Christ is that wliich men need. "He that believeth on me, though he die, yet shallhe live; and whosoever llveth and believeth on me shall never die.'' Tliuugh he die is an admission that many Christians would ilie physical- ly, i.e., their bodies would undergo tihe experience of death, but death would not be final, lie would live again. Shall never die does not re- fer to physical deatli, but to eternal death, to a life of eternal separation from God. "She saith unto him. Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art tile Christ the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world." Such a clear conlos- sion as this, uttered under circum- stances of Uio greatest depre.s8lon, M onco places tha speaker in the very front rank of the disciples ot Jesus. "And wheu she had said mis, sli«' went away, and called Mary lier siai ter secretly." Secretly, presumably/ because she wished Mary to sejifl Jesus privately, without the crowtti of mourning friends being presontjj However, this did not succeed, ffllfl they followed Mary out of the hous* (V. .11). "Saying, the Teacher li •here." Probably the name by whicli tho Lord was known in the inner.' most circle of his own (Malt. 23: 8). "And calleth thee." Tho conversation' with Martha is evidently not related' fully. We cannot suppose that Mar.' tha â- herself framed the message out of the tenor ot the Lord's words.
