Giving thanks always for all things @nto God and the Father in the name Thanksgiving Day gratitude is a qood thing, but everyday gratitude is hetter. The one may be merely a ood in life; the other must be a mode wf life. It is the difference between @ sentiment idealized and a principle gealized. A sense cf personal obligation to God is not common, even among the test of men. They have to go so far afield to find it that their excursions irifi The 'fact that our, "@re irifrequtnt. Blessings are shared by so many | weakens our sense of personal obliga- ticn. I recognize the benefits of sun | and shower and changing seasons, but | Z reason that I might die to-morrow without affecting the beneficent pro- gramme. I walk on pavements an rross bridges without 'a 'thought of Eratitude to the municipality. Grati- gude has an aversion to long jcurneys, and commonly avails itself of the near- mest stopping place. I am grateful to the teacher who taught me the truth But I seldom see as far as the great scientist who realized-that in his cis- zoveries he was but thinking God's thoughts after Him. Few itaye the 'piety and patience to reflect that Back of the loaf Is the snowy four, And back of the flour the miil; mill is the wheat and hower, -And the sun, and the Father's will. The secret of everyday thanksgiving is to find Ged within before we seck Him without. "The heavens do de clare the glory of God," and we ought to know this better than David did. But neither the heavens nor the earth ave such a revelation of God as is Oo be discovered within ourselves. rough differences each one has a relation to all these externalities which is unique. In _in- aividuality we find our personal link with God. ¢ same sun shines upon the rata of earth, but no one among them af] sees it just as you do. Truth belongs to the race,-but the mpression which it makes upon you fe individual. It is the same sun and the same truth; the difference is in you. Paul gives the secret cf. daily thanksgiving when he says: "By the grace of God I am what I am." By @ logical excursion through the jungle ef prehistoric centuries I find a first eause. Through Nature I may get to WNature's God. The study of history will reveal to mea Governor. But it ie within myself I find my Father. Thanksgiving Day gratitude toc alten results in complacent blindness. Bout with a realization of God within here is no occasion to close our eyes 'to aught without. In the aspirations sand longings of cur souls is registered 'the suggestion of what we may _be- 'some. The disappointments which strengthen our moral sinews, the baf- 'fling problems which challenge our in- resourceful- mess, the sorrows which bring the fel- fowship of suffering with the Man cf 'Borrows, all of these things may be- some the for thanksgiving &t is the inventory of our souls which Feveals that we: were not made to live unto ourselves. We hear a vcice say- ing, "As the Father sent me into the world, so send I you." With this com- mission we turn to the world, thrilling with the ardor of the highest service. And the plaint of the people becomes to us the voice cf God calling us into g joy which is more genuine than that ef receiving. In the capacities of our pouls we learn that such powers as aympathy, imagination, will, have been iven us to make us co-workers with d, and we turn to the world to find field which is white to the harvest. ugh Jesus Christ we learn that dur personalities have been designed as @ point of union between God and n. It is the realization of this which tly relates us to all things. When we know that God works within, it ft not difficult to believe that he works without. We cease tc be mastered by externalities and become masters of the circumstances of life, making them i 'to development, usefulness and joy.

Home Recipes, Mincemeat--Half a pound of cur- fants picked and washed, one-half pound of sultanas lightly chopped, one- | quarter pound of candied peel mixed, one-quarter pound of sugar, the rind and juice of a lemon, one-half pound -of finely minced suet, one-half pound of finely chopped apples when cored and pecled, 'mixed spice to taste, and half a nutmeg -grated Beat all well together in a basin, and stir in one glass of sherry and a gill of brandy. Many old-fashioned cooks add meat to the mincemeat ; if meat is used, a piece of finely-minced boiled tongue will be found best. Some cooks add minced almonds; these are better pounded with a little rose water. The patty pans should be greased with a lump of butter and_linedwith the finest of paste, the mincemeat put in and covered with paste, then nick round neatly. Put into a quick oven for five minutes, then the heat slack- ened for a quarter of an hour will bake them. urn out of the tins at once. Fried nuts--These are.dainty little additions to the luncheon or supper table. "Good Housekeeping furnishes the recipe. Cold cooker farina, oat- meal or other cereal is reheatcd and seasoned with butter, salt and pepper. When cool enough to shape with the hands into small balls, dip in crushed walnuts, then in beaten egg, again in walnuts and fry in deep fat. Apple sauce--Everyone knows how to make apple sauce of a sort, but the best way is to first peel the apples, one at a time, then cut each one into quarters, then core and cut into chumps, and throw into a clean sauce- pan into which has b:en put a gill of, water, two lumps of sugar, and a mite of lemon peel, put on lid tightly, set it over a small jet of gas or near a bright. clear fire, and watch them boil. then draw them back and allow them to simmer until quite a mash. Stir round many times whilst cooking. then pour all into a turecn. This is the only way to make good apple sauce. but you must do it yourself. Cook pee's the apples thickly, then removes hali the apple taking away the core, leaves them to boil, bubb'e and 'burn, whil: she attends to something else; she can't help it. bir then you see the sauce is spoiled and wasted. Preparing beans -- Prof. Harry Snyder of the Minnesota Experiment Station of the Department of Agricul- ture says that housekeepers could vast- ly increase the dizestibility of beans by parboiling them, with a little soda. in the proportion of half a teaspoonful or baking soda to a pound of beans and two quarts of water. The ordinary white navy bean, he asserts, while it contains when dry 22.5 of protein, or muscle and energy, is very hard to di- gest, and taxes the digestive apparatus more than almost any other vegetable food. Horseradish Sauce--This sauce also must be made by the wife or daughter. The horseradish should put into water for a night, | then scrubbed. When clean and dry scrape off the thinnest of skins, and scrape it from end to end wit! a picéé Broken glass is sharp and Put the horseradish in- to a basin with a tablespoonful of made mustard, a pinch of salt and enough vinegar to. soak it. When thoroughly mixed, pour over about 2 half gill of cream, slowly mixing the whole time with two forks. Sweceten to taste. The cream will never turn if made in this manner, then put into a c'ean turecn. Stewed prunes--Stewed prunes have become a byword and a jest, but i nicely prepared they are not ridiculous or worthy of scorn by any means. A ahfornia fruit-growing firm recently started a competition for a prize r€cipe for cooking this homely dish, and, as the following won the prize, it may be supposed to represent a perfect way of serving in its simplest form this useful. maligned fruit.: Wash one pound of prunes thoroughly in several waters, nearly cover with water' and let stand overnight, Simmer on the back of the stove until tender. Before remov- ing from the fire and after the cook- ing process is finished add one large tablespoonful of sugar. To Boil Mutton.--Boiled muttor is not a poetical dish, but it is a good standby for the family dinner, It ap- pears much oftener on English tables than on American. The leg, on boil- ing should be quite fresh. Wipe, re- move all the fat, and put into a kettle of well-salted boiling water. s it begins to boil skim frequently, then set back on the range and simmer slow- ly, allowing twenty minutes to each pound of meat.

There- upon the broker also smiled, and his hand went quickly to his pocket. A Russian lady, admirer of Rossini, having watched the composer on his daily promenade during several days sent a message to his house expressive of her desire to be received by him. The reply to this strange communication was: "I do nothing for parting. If the me a very fine bunch of asparagus,she will be welcome, and she ean take a view of me at her leisure." Then, pointing to his waist, which had attained a somewhat aldermanic rotun- dity, he is said to have added: "The lady ne Se walk around me if she Pleases, but I must have my asparagus."

"Ladies and gentlemen," said he, "T have the honor to announce to you the nomination for President of thnt great statesman, that illustrious citizen, that noble man whose name is known wherever the flag floats--whose name is a household word--whose name--whose name"--turning to the chairman--'what the dickens did you say his name was?"

He had the animal oomed, and with pride that was evi- ent even in so undemonstrative a man as Grant, he took Senators Conkling of New York and Jones of Nevada into his Mr. Senator?" asked Grant. Conkling looked the horse over and said, "What did you give for him, Mr. President?" "Four hundred dollars." "Ti'm!" said Conkling. "I'd rather have the four hundred dollars than the horse." Grant pated a cloud of smoke and replied, in is usual cool manner, "That's what the butcher thought." While Senator Thomas C. Platt of New York was enjoying his recent hon- heap he was approached by a certain ennsylvania politician of note, who said: "See here, senator, you won't mind if I say confidentially that you're no raving beauty.

' Do You Know How to Cough ? Few people know how to cough prce- perly. In iact, it never occurs to the ordinary individual' that there is a right way and a wrong way of doing it. ; Yet it is a matter of no small im- portance. If every sigh means a drop of blood out of the heart, as people Say, every cough means some greater or less proportion of time knocked off one's life. Most people cough forcibly-as-they~--can: coughers seem to feel proud of the ter- rible noise they make. But it is rather costly noise, for the simple reason that it tears and inflames the lungs. The lungs consist of an extraordin- arily delicate sponge-like tissue, which sometimes gets inflamed and choked with phlegm. When we try to get, rid Of this substance we cough._ But, ob- viously, if we remove it violently we must necessarily injure the delicate lung tissue. Therefore, train yourself to cough as gently as possible--New York World. Keep the Shades Up. The habit of keeping the window shades down, which is so common a practice, even when there is no direct sun glare on the window, is a direct setting at naught of physiological principles which teach us the import- ance of health, of both body and mind, of an abundance of light. Sir James Crichton-Browne, in an address on light and sanitation, delivered at the Jubilee Conference of the Manchester and Salford Sanitary Association, says: _ "I have spoken of light as purify- ing Our atmospheric environment and as freeing us from certain superficial parasitic distempers, and I wish now to remind you that it has stil more deep and intimate human relations of a@ Sanitary nature; for light is a nec- essary condition of mental and bodily well-being.
