' Pat-snip Fritters. -â€" After boiling the oarsnips plunge them into cold water and the skins will slip off easily; mash them, and season to taste with butter, salt and pepper.

Cook until clear, which 1will be in about. five minutes. Pour the anixturc around the beets and cool. ‘When taken from the mould the heels will show through a crimson jelly. The clear, sour jelly will be found appetizing with the heels. If preferred, arrange the heels and jelly in a glass dish and cool. Esmlloped Onionsâ€"Cook onions in freshly boiled, salted water. Cut in halves, lay in a buffered bakingT dish, cover with a white sauce and a layer of buttered bread crumbs, and brown in a quick oven.

Vinegar Danger.â€"â€"'l‘he nature of the vessel used in pickling is of the utmost. importance. Vinegar boiled in an un- tiimcd copper or brass pan dissolves a pertiini of the copper, and immediately biircomcs impregnated with a poisonous substance. Nothing should be used for boiling vinegar except. stone or well- scoured cast-iron vessels, the former for preference. .. Raw potan juice is a first-rate cleanser. It. will remove stains from oil- paintings. For the last the right method is to cut a raw potato, and to gently rub its out side over the painting, cutting a slice off whenever the portion used has become dirty. The potato juice and dirt are finally removed with a soft. sponge and cold water, but. care must be taken not to wet. the back of the canvas. In case of illness, and when there are no nightlights at hand, a candle canbe made to burn as slowly as a nightlight does by lighting a new candle and al- lowing it to remain till the top surface is flat; .then blow it. out and 'sprinkle fincly-pmvdered salt over the surface and up the black part of the wick. The il- luminating power of the. candle is made very much smaller in this way, but it "burns a much long-er time. ‘ Olc 7) 2 4 month with good Who satisficth thy things so that thy like the eagleâ€"P5. cii., 5. Everywhere the leaves break forth r'n obedience to the call of spring. Every- where the bird song starts again; ev- erywhere the flowers come out into the sunshine. There is no rebellion, no an- archy here. All nature is in tune. Out of the depths of the past springs the life of the present. Slowly, impercep- libly, all nature develops, because there is life. There is a new life. Each springtide marks a tide a lifle.lngher than the one before. Is there anything in man’s higher, moral life that corresponds to this? Can it be that while all nature is in tune with the infinite, singing his praises, and finding new life, man alone is out of harmony? As truly as there is a tide when life springs upward in the woods and fields, so truly is there a tide that reaches the depths of a man’s life. The years of youth return to none; the elasticity goes forever from the step; and yet man may renew his youth; his finer self may come. under the power of THE RETURNING TIDE OF LIFE. There is a springtide for the heart. So long as hope and faith remain there is always the possibility of new begin- nings, the shedding of old leaves, the breaking into 116w beauties of soul and of deed. Though we may have long given up the possibility of finding the fountain of eternal youth, that hope was but. the outer evidence of an eternal, inner fact. There is a fountain of eternal youth for the heart. The head may become frosty, but the sun shines warm once again, new hopes spring up, new and better Established 1842.

Speaking at a meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce five years ago, he said: “I am now 56 years old, with one foot in the grave," and in reply to- the shouts of “No. no!" he added: “Yes I am, so far as riding a horse and handling a fleet are concerned. We appoint admirals much too old. Fancy anyone sixty years old ,riding in the Liverpool Steeplechase! Yet you want as much physical activity to com- mand a fleet in action as you would to ride a horse in the Liverpool Steeple- chase.” Like every ofilcer and man in the navy, “Charlie 13." has suffered through lack of opportunity; but. he has come through such fighting as he has seen with flying colors. The best-known in- cident is, of course, his work in the lit- he (tender at the bombardment of .\l- exandria. , Equally plucky was his magnificent work on the Nile, in the futile efforts to rescue Gordon.

Lift up your heart. To have fallen once is not, must not be, the end. Begin again. Infinite love is on your side. Sitting in the days of gloom, never believe that there are no others.

No one thinks of opposing him, for it has become quite a tradition that he always gets what he wants. Yet Ad- miral Fisher started life as a young ofl‘i- ccr without. any private fortune or in- fluential friends to help his advanceâ€" ment. The honorable position he now occupies has been won entirely by abil- ity pluck, and hard work. He is some- what of a, lv'ilch-ener in his methods, as the following story goes to show. Some year or two back Sir .Iolm “Jacky” they always call him in the navyâ€"~wanfed a lain place on a certain date. “or cup- tain pleaded that it was impossible to get ready. “'I‘eff â€"â€"- that. if he is not ready to leave for ~â€"â€"-â€" on the day named I will have him towed there,” was Ad- miral Fisher‘s reply.
