Theré are many really delicious des- serts that can be made with stale cake if the cook uses a little ingenuity. A light cake which fs very dry can be ¢rumbled, soaked in milk until soft, and then combined with eggs to make a very acceptable pudding. The procedure {is almost identical With that for a bread pudding, though gare must be taken not to make it too sweet when cake crumbs are used. Plain cake which is not dry enough for crumbling, but has lost its fresh- ness, can be cut in pleces for serving nd steamed until hot and moist. rve with a liquid sauce and garnish with whipped cream if convenient. * Mock tipsy pudding, a light and de- lectable dessert, is made with stale sponge cake or lady fingers. Cut sponge cake in thin, narrow slices and spread with any kind of jam or pre- rves. Peach or apricot is very good. 4 In layers in a deep dish and pour two cups of thin boiled custard ver cake slices. 'Let stand over night the custard. Serve very cold th whipped cream.

Recently I have noticed on two or three occasions when I have heen at other people's houses, that the little homé-made tea biscuit is returning. With the afternoon cup of tea or the after-dinner cup of coffee they are ideal. ~ The art of biscuit-making is not easy. Time and care must be bestow- ed upon the making, and particularly the baking. A biscuit should be very crisp and short. ? You might like try try your hand at making some, Lemon Fingers Beat four ounces of butter and four ounces of sugar to a cream.

All attempts to secure some quiet with his disciples failed. Further controversies with the Phari- sees (Mark 7: 1-23) widened still more the breach that already separat- od Jesus from the religious leaders. He decided to go, for the time being, into voluntary exile. In Phoenicia he would be unknown, therefore safe and unmolested. The "Galilean Ministry" was at an end. I ONE oF THE FaMiLy, Mark 7: 24- Ariiving in the purely heathen ter- ritory of Phoenicia, Jesus took elab- orate precautions to avoid recognition. Nevertheless, he was discovered. native woman followed him, implor- ing him to heal her daughter, vs. 24, 25. How did she know him? Rumors of a wonderful healer had perhaps come across the borders. Perhaps the disciples, so proud of their Masters healing powers, talked-too much. In any case the intuition of one in great Jesus was one of those people, some of whom are still among , to whom folk in trouble always come. The daughter's illness was apparenily one of those pathetic mental and nervous derangements which seem to have been so common in Palestine in those days, s The mother was a "Greek," that is, a pagan. "Syro-phenician" means a of Syria, The fact of in- terest here is that she was a pagan. She implored Jesus to heal her child.

II How Love TriumpHS, Mark 7: 31- Jesus was now in the vicinity of the district where he had healed the de- woniac, Mark 5: 1-20. The "vested ir terests" of the community, fearing for their profits, had driven him out, Mark 65: 17. It would appear that now the Master Loped to re-enter this region unobserved, and have a little Yme, uninterrupted, with his dis Since the healing of the demoniac, lLowever, a campaign was being car- ried on in his favor, more effective than that of fear an. hate which the Hog Breeders' Associaticn waged inst him. It wes the propaganda of the man whom he had healed, Mark 5: 20. Jesus and his little com- pany had hardly set foot witl'in De- capolis, when to every corner of the district the news spread, "Here he is, the Healer!' Love, the greatest thing in the world, had been doing i's work. A member of a despised race had done a kindness to one miserable fel- low some time in the past. It had broken down the barrier of racial contempt, "Jew," to a native of De- capolis, now suggested helpfulness, Love had done another bit of its perfect work for world-friend- ship. It has been well said that Jesus both democratized and interna- tionalized religion. One of the rea- sons why he was crucified was his at- titude of good-will towards Romany. He was free from race and class ha Taking the deaf mute (v. 32) aside from the crowds, the Master seems to have employed certain methods, com- monly used at the time, and had cured the man of his trouble. See Mark 8: 22-26, where Jesus gain uses mater- ial means. These two accounts ap- r in Mark alone. Matthew and uke perhaps did not like to record such use of material means by our Lord. Saliva was often regarded i the ancient world as having curative powers. As the Master pronounced the words which accompaaied the healing, he sighed, v. 34. Why? One poor man stood before him, by no means the most wretched of the many around him. But the sensitive heart of our Lord saw ir this man the whole "weltering sea of sorrow that moaned around the world, of which this was but one drop that he could ap." Whew a young man asks for a meal woman who feeds him feel something 0% the weight of the bitter and hope- less wretchedness of all the victims of unemployment?

C. Shru- a recent address in that city before the Child Study Society. Says Dr. E. E. Free, in his Week's Science (New York): y » scientific way to punish a child is by an old-fashioned spanking, being sure that this is hard enough to be really painful. > "Another is that the spanking must be done immediately and in anger, instead of waiting until later when the outraged parent has cooled off. Dr. hrubsall insists that anger is quite well understood by the child, and has the proper effect on it, whereas later ish t ied by 'reason. ing' with the child is not understood and merely impresses the child as one more of the myriads of inexplicable things which adults do. "Pain in the skin, like that from a good spanking, Dr. Shrubsall regards as nature's method of training all young animals. This is how the ani- mal, or the baby, learns to avoid harm- ful objects, as evidenced by the pro- verb that a burnt child dreads the fire, One reason why this is so effective is that the pain follows instantly on the flery contact, which is why spank- ings also should follow immediately on the offense. Merely mental punish- ments, such as scoldings or arguments, are unnatural and relatively ineffec- tive. Fortunately, Dr. Shrubsall be- lieves that psychological theories against spanking seldom are really practiced. 'There probably is no child psychologist in existence,' 'he said, 'who, having a child of his own or her own, has never spanked it." "" -------- an London Style Czars Issue Fashion Edict London has almost as much say in dictating the laws of women's fashions as Paris these days. Here are Lon- don's edicts for spring styles: There will be no change in wom- en's figures. Elegance and '"stream- line" will be-the keynote, and slim- ming diets will have to be continued. The waistline will be just above the normal one, Some of the newest evening dresses have sleeves whch reach to the el- bow, fit close over the shoulder and for a few inches down the arm, and then are puffed widely. Walkipg frocks will end 12 inches off the ground, formal 'afternoon dresses 10 inches, while evening dress- es will just clear the floor. As if to make up for their "back- lessness," evening gowns will be cut higher in front, in some cases almost up to the neck. The lightweight dresses, made from fancy materials, provide a fresh range of woollen stuffs for Spring frocks. These are very fine and very light, but there are signs. that materials with crinkled and crepe-like surfaces will be replaced. New topcoats for the spring are fall length, with wide draped revers car- sied sometimes to the wastline, Short jumpers will continue to he worn, but will be made from soft wool- len materials, many of which will be striped. Sil ra-------- THE GREAT And this is how we love to think of the great and the good who are gone--not as dead, but living, active spirits, yet rising to a highter sphere, rising into a larger,- wider life in the ample, sunlit paces in the presence of God; and still, in some way, one with us in all upward striving and in all holy work, a great family of God, one in heaven and on earth.-- T.

They were very nearly abolished during a stormy session of the Municipal Council's Transport Commission, which voted 11 to 10 to maitain the boats in operation. The little steamboats, which run from Pont d'Austerlitz through Paris to Boulogne and Sevres, serve mostly working people employed in factories on the river banks. But they are also an attraction to tourists, who for the price of a bus fare may traverse the most historic sections of the city and from the open decks of the little ves- sels obtain a fine view of the Paris monuments. The excursion to Boul ogne-sur-Seine by river is a popular Sunday trip. The river service, owing to the competition of the subway, the bus lines and steet cars, however, has been losing money, and last season the de- fictt reached 2,000,000 francs. It was proposed to abolish the service and substitute one of small motor boats better suited to compete with the bus lines, ttre} itera: EDUCATION The real object of education is to give children resources that will en- dure as long as lifa endures.--Sydney Smith, * -------------- GIFTS He that gives to be seen, would And Mutt's No Optician, At That. pT never relieve a man in the dark, a try. {dents in Great Britain it is ectimated ly, giving number and size of such; Een . os "Practically all 'the fresh in London comes from E: favored by an insect a quarte an inch long, which is new to this cout Of the total number of road @ that more than 98 per cent, could have been avoided. : Aged 130, an inhabitant of a vik lage is Baroda State, India, is re ish Empire, Pedestrians in Lisbon will be for bidden to speak while crotsing the road, If proposed new by-laws come into force. .
