The veritable Antichrist will be one of the monarchs of his day, a Lutheran. He will invoke God, and claim to be His messenger. "3. This Prince of Liars will swear by the Scriptures. He will represnnt. himself as the instru- ment of the Mdst High for chasten- ing the wicked. "4. He will have but one arm; but his innumerable troops, who will take for their motto, 'God with oad will appear as the. legions sal ell. "5. For a long time he will axitatel TL by ruse and felony, his spies will overrun the world, ng he will be master of great seor '6. He will employ pitieegines: who will prove that his mission is celesti al. . A war will cause the mask to de lifted, This will not be that waged against France, but another distinguished Power, and in two weeks this war will become univer- gal. "Ss: This war will enlist all the peoples of Christendom, Mohamme- dans, and even those from afar. Armies will arise from the four eor- ners of the earth. "9. For the angels will enlighten the souls of men, and in the third week they will recognize that this is the Antichris t, and that they will all be enslaved jf they do not over- throw this despot. '10. The Antichrist will be re- cognized by many indications. He will go out of his way to massacre monks, children voking the name of Ohri "AEE. is pretentious 'eral will resemble those of the. Christians, but his actions will be those of Nero and the Roman persecutors . He will have an eagle in his coat of arms, and another will appear in that of his ally, the other bad mon- arch "12. But this one is a Christian, and he will die by the maledietion of the Pope Benedictus, who will be elected at the end of the reign of Antichrist '13. There will no more be seen any priests or monks to absolve the combatants, for, in the first place, priests and monks will fight with other citizens, and, further, the Pope Benedictus will have cursed the Antichrist, and it will be pro- claimed that those who fight will find salvation, and dying, will be straightway translated to Heaven, hke the martyrs "14. The Papal! Bull which shall vroclaim these things will resound afar, and will give fresh life tothe brave and bring death to the allied monarch of the Antichrist. '15. The defeat of the Antichrist will demand the death of more men than Rome has ever contained. It will need the united efforts of all} the Powers, for the Cock, the Leo pard and the White Eagle will not | make an end of the Black Eagle if) the prayers and wishes of all hu- mane people do not aid them "16. Humanity has never yet known such great peril, for the tri- umph of the Antichrist would be that of the demon of whom he is the inc arnation. "17. For it has been said that twenty centuries after the incarna- tion of the Word the Beast will, in his turn, incarnate and menace the world, with as much of evil as the Divine Incarnation brought of race.

What makes the decision of the Lamb so implacable is that the Antichrist has pretended to be Christian and aa acted in His name, and if he does not perish the fruit of the Redemption will be Jost and the gates of hell will prevail against the Saviour. "30. It will readily he seen that the combat which is fought in the places where the Antichrist forges his weapons is no longer a human war. The "fhreée~Animals, the de- fenders of the Lamb, will extermi- nate the last army of the Anti christ; but the battlefield will be made a charnelhouse as large as the greatest of cities, for the will have transfigured the place, making of it a chain of pages "31. ha wih dla ine will lose crown, and wi insanit; an army, ora shi "39.

The Spirit has entered into our troops and has impressed the minds of our rulers, so that it is a fixed determination that this war is to be one of finality, need be, of annihilation, so never again shal! the ambition and arrogance of one man threaten the peace of the world. Have you put the question to yourself : What if Antichrist should win? Claiming, as he now does, to be subregulus dei, he gwould then claim to be a god himself, and his blood engorged brain would present him to the world as the "Man-child ruling tha nations with a rod of iron."

Dom Bosco, a riest at Turin, founder of the Salesian Order, who died about ten years ago, also pro- phesied the war.

The Kaiser is the embodiment of the "Blood and Iron" cult, as op- posed to that of the peaceful arts and federation. He belongs to the Lutheran Church, while many of his subjects are Roman Catholics. Attention is called to paragraph 4, in which he is said to have only one arm (the Kaiser has one arm wi ered and also a short leg, and he mounts his horse by the wrong side).

White Fruit Cake.--One-half cup of butter, one cup of sugar, one and a half cups of flour, one-half cup of milk, two eggs, one-half cup of nut meats, or more if you choose, cup up fine or rather coarse, as you will, one-half cup or more cf fruit cut fine--dates, figs, a few rais'ns --@ scant teaspoon of cinnamon or not, a fourth teaspoon of almond extract, and whole fruit and nuts to decorate the top. Sift the sugar, add the butter, and rub the tro to acream, to which add the cinnamon or other powdered spices, stirring them in, then heat in the well, eaten yolks of the eggs. Add the milk and flour alternately. A level teaspoon of baking powder may be flour, 'but it is not needed, especially if the eggs are fresh, and the cake is of better tex- ture without, it and perhaps easier ir in the nuts and the hes e.

Decorate the tops 80 as to cover it thickly with fruit and nuts, brush over with whites of eggs and bake for one hour in a slow oven, in a well-oiled and pa- per lined pan of a narrow sort and deep. Use oil instead of butter té grease pan, as it does not burn readily, This cake can be eaten on the day it is made, as it is soft and of good flayor, but is better a day or so later. To Decorate Fruit Cake.--One way to decorate a cake like the white cake and cover the whole top, as is the present custom, is to start placing a candied cherry in the centre and tho others half way be- tween it and the ends of the pan. Place around these cherries whole or the halves of blanched almonds, the smal! points in, making daisy- like figures, the nuts forming the petals. Make a border of any nuts you choose, alternating halves of anuts and pecans, then fill in the space with nuts, bits of dates and figs, or what you choose. Pecan Cake.--With exactly same foundation as for white cake, use half a cup or more lehopped pecans and bake square tin with low sides, £0 the fruit of and fruit filling and icing if you choose. Perhaps it is better to use the bak- ing powder in this case. Bake forty- five minutes. | Chopped hickory nuts. instead of pecans, may be used. Chocolate Cream Icing.---Boil to- ger a cup and a half of granu- ted sugar and half a cup of milk until it forms a soft ball when drop- in water. Great care must taken not to boil it a minute too long. Take from the fire, add van- illa to flavor, and beat until white, soft and creamy. Watch close- lest it get too stiff and spread easily.

Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of eggs, sift over a httle flour, turn out on a board, roll out and cut, put on greased paper in a large baking tin or on the bottom of same, brush over with white of egg and then sprinkle with sugar. Bake for twelve minutes in qa moderate oven, Mock Angel Cake.--An _ inexpen- sive cake to cut up into little shapes and ice and decorate with different nuts and little candies is the mock angel cake. Sift to- gether four or five times one cup of sugar with three level teaspoons of baking powder; mix with one cup of hot milk and one teaspoon of vanilla, and finally add the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, and bake in an ungreased pan for forty min utes, or divide and bake in two layers. The crust of this will have flavor like the real angel cake half a teaspoon of vanilla and about as much of almond extract is used. This mB be iced with, a * FAMINE FOOD. What Peopld Ate During the Siege of Paris in 1870. In a letter by Henry Labouchere. which is quoted by Mr. A. L. Thor- old in his life of the distinguished journalist, he describes, not without a characteristic touch of humor, the extremes to which the inhabi- tants of Paris were driven during the siege of 1870 I went to see what was going on in the house of a friend of mine in the Avenue de l'Imperatrice, who has left Paris. The servant who was in charge told me they had not been able to obtain bread for three days, and that the last time he had pre- sented his ticket, he had been given about half an inch of cheese. "How do you live, then?' I asked, After looking mysteriously around to-see that no one was watching us he took me down into the cellar and pointed to some meat in a barrel "It is half a horse,"' he said, in the tone of a man who is showing some 1e the oe of his murdered vic- tim.
