_ THE GLORY OF A NATION There is still all a Irniz;,n;;vwork, indeed there is holy and divine work to play a man‘s part in the affairs of the nation, when he might, moved by splendid heroism, lay down his life for his people. Our day needs men who will lay down their lives not on some altar of imâ€" mediate sacrifice, but on the field of long and toilsome service. FINER AND FULLER LIVING. No people can ever be greater In fact than they are in faith and in ideals. The people make the naâ€" tion. What we are our nation is. Our greatness is wholly a matter of eur real worth, our worthiness. All splendor and pomp, all parade and display of power that is any more than the expression of the real life and work of a people is a fool‘s mockery. Sometimes we think that the days are past when a man had a chance & uic Â¥ isfifimfi%xf*mfiw Stuffed _ Cabbage.â€"Take _ one pound of chopped beef, two eggs, pepper and salt to taste.

Then stir together one large tablespoonful butter, two spoonfuls of flour, stir into cabâ€" bage, with one cupful sweet rich milk. Cook a few minutes and serve. _ The greatness of a people depends not on what they have, but on what they give, not on what they may store up within their borders, but en what they may share with others. The gifts we can give to our world will not be in gold or silver, not in what we list in our export reports. Ultimately these gifts can be measured in one simple way the kind of manhood and woâ€" manhood we are giving to the world. Every nation must play its part in the world‘s affairs, but the reat part we all have to play is fhat of educating the whole human family into SEASONABLE RECIPES.

Stir in the lemon juice and bottle in small bottles, dipping the corks in wax. This will keep perfectly, and the wax may be used over and over if saved for this purpose.

And theâ€"desert shall rejoice and blossom as the â€" rose.‘‘â€"Isaiah xXXxxv. 1. The glory of a nation depends on Its gifts to its own day. We may please ourselyes with boastings of the past, but, after all, in the long test of the ages this only counts, in what way have we enriched the earth, in what way have we made its moral and intellectual deserts to blossom as the rose, and how far have we converted its parched ground into pools ! i HomE. & _ Cabinet Pudding.â€"This is an exâ€" cellent way to use remains of sporge cake. Butter well a pudâ€" ding mold holding about three pints. Have ready one and a ~slf cupfuls of fruitâ€"raisins, currants, sliced citron and chopped nuts mixed. Sprinkle the bottom of the mold with the mixed fruit, then put in a layer of stale cake (spnge eake, macaroons or ladyâ€"fingers may be used), add another layer of fruit, then of cake, and so conâ€" tinue until the mold is nearly full. Beat three eggs and a third of a cupful of sugar until light, add three cupfuls of hot milk and flavor with vanilla, then pour over the contents of the mold. Steam one and a half hours.

Curran Jelly Sauce.â€"Boil a cupful of sugar and a third of a cupful of water to rather a . thick syrup, add a third of a cupful of beaten currant jelly, and when the jelly is dissolved, add thp juice of a lemon and rub through a sieve. Brunswick Stew.â€"This famous stew was originally made with squirrel meat in place of chicken, but as squirrels were not always at hand, and chicken usually is, the latter is most generally used. Have ready a large, fat fowl cut into convenient sized pieces, six good sized potatoes, one pint of lima beans, three ears of corn, four medium sized onions and half a pound of salt pork. Choose a broad buttoned kettle and place half of the pork, chopped over the bottom, then a layer of potatoes which have been sliced thin and parboiled, then a layer of ham beans, next of corn cut from the cob, then lastly a layer of chicken. Repeat, using up all the vegetables. Add three quarts of boiling water, cover tightly and allow to stew slowly for three hours. Then add six large, sliced, ripe tomatoes, one level tablespoonful of sugar, one of salt, and a good pinch of pepper. Cook slowly for another hour, addâ€" ing more water if needed. Then rub two spoonfuls flour with four of butter. Stir in, let boil up and This is the finest, bighest, holiâ€" est, and most truly religious service that we may know, this is that which sets each one into the gloriâ€" cus company of the great of all ages, just to live such a life and give such measure of service that the whole world is richer, that men think of better things and live for nobler ends and the flowers of love spring in the deserts of old desires. to be done in making the nation what it might be, in serving the principles and securing the ideals which for us make national greatâ€" ness. People have been great in the measure that they have forgotâ€" ten all selfâ€"seeking and everything beside in serving some great prinâ€" ciple, in living and dying for some high aim. Though we compassed all the earth in our possessions we could be no greater than our souls; though we possessed no more than little rocky Greece or barren Palâ€" estine, no measure could be made of our. worth if we_ but give the world such ideals, thoughts, aspiraâ€" tions, and visions as have sprung from these little lands. Our fathers gave themselves to great principles; their sons must do even harder service, for they must toil in quiet ways, without the contagion of the mob and the plaudits of the throngs. We can set first the things that are first, honor, truth, justice, and love. We can, if we will, make sacrifices that the ages will recognize as just as truly heroic as any that have been made on Eternity will reveal heroes in unâ€" dreamt of places, plain mothers who sacrifice social ambitions and the temptations of life that they might train their children aright, giving not their own lives alone, but giving to the world other lives rich in usefulness and character worth. serve.

A HUGE LANDSLIDE, It is possible that the actual proâ€" portion of overfat people in the general population is no greater now than it ever was, but to the observer who has lived many years it seems as if the number of perâ€" sons one meets who are noticeably overweight had increased greatly in recent years. Thers are a number of dietary systems in vogue for reducing weight, almost all efficacious, if strictly followed, but not all safe. The original "banting system,""‘ for example, in which the person is reâ€" stricted to little more than a leanâ€" meat diet, is not to be recommendâ€" ed, and one who practises it, unâ€" less under constant medical superâ€" vision, may do himself irreparable harm. No one system, indeed, is applicable to all cases. for the cause is not always the same, and what may be suitable for one fat person may not be at all what anâ€" cther needs. ionship of her husband. It was shown to the satisfaction of the court that until Marriman took to drink he was a prosperous railroad telegrapher, and stood high with his employers. _ The drink habit caused him to lose everything, and finally his wife was obliged to leave him. The case went before a jury, which gave Mrs. Marriman a small verdict, but she appealed to the Supreme Court and the decision on Wednesday resulted in a verdict against the saloonkeeper for $5,225. Some large folk are content with their lotâ€"nearly all are jolly, yet there are many who would give much for every pound they could throw off. It is popularly believed that all fat persons are gross feeders, but this is not true ; indeed, the reverse is often the case. Obesity may be a disease, or rather a prominent symptom of one, the trouble being with the internal chemistry of nuâ€" tritionâ€"a disease of metabolism, as it is called. It is comparable to diabetesâ€"nearly related to it, in fact. In this disease sugar . is formed in excess in the system, even when very little is taken with the food; and so in obesity there is a tendency to the formation of fat in the body, even if little fatâ€"formâ€" ing food is eaten. In most cases, however, much can be done by & regulation of the diet. s Fats are less harmful than sugar and starch, and may be allowed in moderation in the form of butter and salad oil. The belief that the drinking of water makes fat is erroneous. If one eats juicy vegetables, and especially the less sweet fruits, such as apples and grapeâ€"fruit, and abandons the use of sugar, there will be a naural reduction in the amount of water taken, but one should drink all that is needed to quench thirst.â€"Youth‘s Companâ€" ion. Bread is fattening, but for most persons it seems an indispensable article of diet. Its amount can however, be limited, and it shoulj be toasted. The amount of meat should not be increased, but the quantity of sugar and starchy foods should be reduced, their place being taken by ronâ€"starchy vegetables, such as spinach, cauliflower and salads. The foods to be avoided, or taken in great moderation, are those which contain much starch, such as rice and potatoes, and all sweetsâ€" pies, puddings and candy. Tea and coffese should be taken without sugar, if taken at all, and chocoâ€" late should be omitted entirely. HOW WOMEN MAY KEEP WELL An authority ~upon all matters connected with physical training says that a woman who wishes to keep well and in good condition should sleep nine hours of the twenâ€" tyâ€"four, take cold water baths, exâ€" ercise for five minutes each day with light dumbbells, drink a cup ci hot liquid /before breakfast, spend half an hour every day in cutdoor exercise, make the best of bad bargains and, above all, alâ€" ways keep her temper.â€"London Globe.
