D. CASE PH.D. REV. Subject: “The Limit of Endeavor’—How ; Mu 1 Dare You Attempt For God ? = He Gives Grace Both For Living and Dying—Activities For True Christians, BrOORLYN. N. Y.—The Rey. C. D. Case, Ph. D., formerly oi the First Baptist Church, Montclair, N. J., preached on Sun- day his first sermon as pastor of the Han- son Place Baptist Church, His subject was “The Limit of Endeavor.” Dr, Case said: In the fourth century ol the Christian era the Goths, numbering nearly ore mill- ion people, men, women, and children, came down to the Danube, at that time swollen by many rains, to escape to the other side. 'A large fleet of boats and canoes had been rere and for several days and nights work went on incessantly. Yet notwith- standing the most earnest care scores were swept away in the flood. Centuries before this remarkable occur- rence another vast horde of men, women and children came down to another swollen stream. By count there were over 600,000 warriors over twenty years of age, and ‘the entire host numbered about 2,000,000. The valley into which they descended was of peculiar Zormation. The outer valley was six miles and over in width, but there was an inner valley or ravine a half mile and over in width, and still within this was the river itself varying from twenty to sixty ards in width. But this river, too, had een swollen by many rains and the melt- _ing snows farther up its course, and now Bad overrun its usual banks and was rush- along with rapidity. BD ey enough no boats had been pre- pared for the crossing of this host, and yet, as events proved. not one of the host was lost in the crossing. Evidently there was some vast distinction to be made between these two great hosts of antiquity. What was that distinction? May it not be this, the words that Isaiah uses in the forty- third ehapter and second verse, which may be considered the text of this sermon: “When thou passeth through the waters T will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee.” On the part of the Israelites in their crossing of the Jordan some special prepar- ation was needed, but not in the procuring of boats. The commander of the ar my had sent messengers throughout the host, and commanded all to sanctify . themselves, which meant the washing of garments and the abstaining from all 1l that might distract the mind. Similarly Moses had once com- manded the people to sanctify themselves to-day and to-morrow, and to wash their garments and be ready against the third: day; for the third day Jehovah Himself would come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai. 16 was a critical moment for the hosts of Jsraels, To fail now meant to fail forever. To succeed now meant a promise for the future. ‘Hereby ye shall know,” said Joshua, “that the living God is among you and that He w ill without fail drive out from before you’ the inhabitants of the land. What a nation or a man achieves through God-given strength to-day is an assurrance for victory for to-morrow. Suc- «cess is a handmaid of assurance. YYe have not passed this way before,” said Joshua a new leaf in national history had Dees turned; a new territory invaded. A new endeavor with the Israelitish army as with us to-day needed special guidance. The sacred ark was to precede the people, but far enough in advance to be seen by all that ‘‘ye may know,” said the leader, “the way by which ye must 20. Reverence is needed for divine things, “but divine guidance more. The pillar of fire and the cloud is now superseded by the ark, and it in turn superseded by the Christ, who said to all disciples, “Follow Me.” In each case the command is not to make the Guide follow you, but you the Guide. Five miles over the river is a walled city. Thousands are watching from the walls the foolhardy attempt of the disordered hosts. One person, however, alone upon the wall, unnoticed by the many, is looking down with expectancy. That one is Rahab. She watches eagerly as the priests bearing the ark by the “poles step with measured tread down to the river, wonders as nothing hap- pens, starts as the priests seen actually at the very edge, but at last her hopes are realized, as the rushing current is stayed y. some unseen force and rolls up in a mighty wall, while below the waters hurry away until the last streamlets trickle down over the stones and leave land for the pas- sage of the army. hat, after all, is the limit of endeavor? Evidently not reason alone if at all. That Tsraelite who stays behind and watches the foolish performance from the hill side paces back and forth in his disgust. Such a foolish waste of life! Such a spec ‘tacular display. Will Joshua never be done with such undertakings? Any one might krow that that motley herd could not be gotten safely across that boiling stream. No boats, no possibility of wading, or even swimming—it simply can’t be done. But watch. It is done. I heard a teacher in a certain normal school read in class for the correction of professor and student w hat she would say to a class of boys and girls about the crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites. A strong east wind, she said, blew the water down the sea until the Israelites could wade across, and then when the Egyptians came up the wind had changed and drow ned ail of the Kgvptians in the passage. “And what do you sup- pose,” said the would-be teacher. “the peo- ple thought that God made the waters to go back.” That's science for you. Bat, by the way, such science is a little out of date. Xven Huxley declared that Hume's argument against miracles was unscientific since he maintained as a premise that nothing miraculous or supernatural could occur. As far as science is concerned it is not necessary for us to determine whether a thing is miraculous or not, the question is, did the event occur, and if so, can we find a cause” Nor is the extent of one’s own power an adequate limit to one’s endeavor. ‘Give e them to eat,” said Christ. Impossible. ; hers are 5000 men beside women and chilaren. It would take an average man’s life’s savings to feed them. We have. in fact, enough to give a few men a littie to sustain them, a paltry five loaves and two fishes, but what are they among so many. ‘Ability says, We cannot feed them. Christ says, Arrange them in groups; make ready. What, then, are the limits of endeavor? One limit is certainly God's command. The Lord commands and the host proceeds and the deed is dome. The Bible teems with commands. Are they becoming use- less? Has the Bible yet become an obso- lete text book? Does it need revision? Some commands appear out-dated; some foolish; sonie difficult to obey. Yet what He commands He will give strength to per- form, and the word of Cana is the word to-day. Whatscever He: saith unto you, 0 1t. But there is another limit, which is still farther to the horizon of life, the limit of od’s promises. God's promises are in Him yea and amen. Someone has said that God’s promises are the Lord’s branches hanging over the water, that our Lord’s silly, half-drowned children may take a grip of them. Rather are they glimpses of the mountain top, i ng the traveler to I He makes us the co: open the door. 3does He degiare ; shall bear much fruit? Te also makes as the condition that we shall abide in Him. What, then, shall we do in the face of God's commands and promises whic h ‘thus t the limit to our er nde pocept the limit, and be sat A command means a promise, a privilege. The Cr he is easy not by: trying nothing but what seems easy, not by falling gracefully with the hope that God’s favor will pardon ourirmeg- lect, not by thinking that _{is commands and promises are not really for us, but by agreeing with General Armstrong: “What are the Christians in the world for but to de the impossible?’ But in accepting the high ideal the soul must as certainly accept a? u the complementary conclusion that all strength is of God. Power belongeth unto God. Our sufficiency is of God. Some peo- ple act as if God had been deposed. John’s three words are light, life and love: Paul's are grace, faith and power. It is by the grace of God. His unmerited favor, reached by faith, a complete trust in Him. that we obtain the power of God. And w hat pow- er! When Paul had reached the lowest depths of Romans, the seventh chapter, and sees that he must sin, and exc’aims pa- thetically, Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? he can only answer himself with humility ed rejoicing, I thank God. through Jesus Christ Jour Lord. Watch the repetition. “Pow er.” “in the power of the Holy Spirit,” “in the demon- stration of the Spirit and of power,” “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to thé power that worketh in us;”’ “that ye may know what is the exceeding greatness of His power to upward who believe accord- ing to that working of His might which He wrought'in Christ, when He x ised Him from the dead, and ‘made Him to sit at {is right hand in heaveniv nlaces.” But -power comes through faith. Watch the priests as they put their feet in the brink of that swollen stream. What con- fidence. How did vou know what was going to happen? Some say that as we grow older we gain more wisdom and therefore need not accept less and less the revelation by faith. Great theologians ac- ccording to this might live~with very little faith. In much the. same spirit it 1s sup- posed by many that as we obtain more and more strength we need less and less of di- vine interposition and have less and less need of faith. But ‘let him that standeth take heed lest he fall.” As long as we live on this earth there will be new werritory of wisdom and power to reach, and new Jordans to cross. We cannot, aul dé- clares, in Galatians, begin by. faith and then be perfected in the flesh.” Faith as the stretching ‘out of thg hand. toward Che must always be a Christian's priv- ileg Fake your own condition, if you are not a Christian. If you join a lodge you make up your mind after examination that you can keep all of the requirements of the constitution and pledges. You know your own ability and strength. But when you come to Christ, you do not begin by =ay- ing, Can I or can 1 not hold out to the end, taking into consideration the powers that I now possess. Rather you say, He has promised to keep that which I commit unto Him, and therefore I shall hold out. Jou will make the conclusion of Charles Finney as he went out into the woods Sah in a life and death struggle with the Ho! y Spirit. The voice was saying, “Will you accept now—to-day?”’ He.went out determined to give his heart to Christ before he came out, and he did. But it was a promise w hich he laid hold of. That promise -was: “Ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.” His answering faith said: “Lord, Thou canst not lie; I take Thee at Thy word; I do search with all my heart and 1 know therefore that I have found Thee.” And as he continued in prayer the peace of God came into his heart. Then there are commands and promises connected with your burdens. Christ said, o not worry over the morrow.” Can we keep from worry? You have read again and again the words, “Cast thy burden on the Lord and He will sustain thee,” but note that the margin of the revised version says as the other reading for “thy burden” “that which He hath given thee.” and also notice that God sustains. not the burden but “thee.” Cast upon God, what He has given you to bear and He will hear—thee, and in bearing thee the burden will be a blessing, not a curse. Is prayer a farce? Or can the limit of endeav or in prayer be also God's promises? "hatsoever ye shall ask in My name, it shall be done unto you.” Christ declared to the disciples as they had stood helpless before the demoniac boy, “This kind com- eth not forth save by prayer.” Beyond the reaches of human strength and wisdom is the domain of prayer- -achievement. Dr. David Gregg when he was pastor in Bos- ton presided at the fiftieth anniversary of Dr. Cyrus Hamlin, long of Constantinople. In the vear 1851 Mahmoud had issued an edict ordering the expulsion of all mission- aries from the empire. The British and American ambassadors told them that they must go. William Godell replied to Ham- s statement, “Hamlin, the Sultan of ar en can change this; let us appeal to Him in prayer.” Together, like Hezekiah of old, they spread ‘the edict before the Sod and prayed all night. The next day Mahmoud died and the edict was never mentioned. Robert College is the monu- ment of the work of Dr. Hamlin. You, to-day, are thinking especially of the work before you. How much dare you attempt for God? We must often begin our duty before we feel conscious of the strength. But God gives grace for livin and dying both and always w hen we i it. Thank God, we are co-workers with Him, waich means vastly more than that we are engaged in the same work or the same kind of werk. Christ said, “My Father worketh hitherto and I work,” showing that He was simply carrying out the work which His Father was doing. But He also said, “My Father, which worketh in Me, He doeth the work.” So we mean when ie say that we ave co- workers with God, more than that we are doing | God’s work, but that He Himself is in us “working in us both to will and do of His good pleasure.” Professor Peabody, of Harvard, declares that there are three c.asses that make problems for us in so- is the “can’t-works,” the aged, sick and defective, who must receive gentle and con- tinuous consideration; the ‘out-of-works,” able to w ork, but tempor rarily unemployed; the “won’t works,” the professionally idle, vagrant, mendicant poor. In the church there ave but two classes to make problems; for there are no ‘can’t works,” as every one who cannot take a Sunday-school ‘class or do some other church service, does work by Christian tes- timony and Christian living; first, the “gut-oi-works,” who are willing to work but cannot find employment. and for this neglect the church is responsible; and sec- ond, the “won’t works,” and God pity the church that has many of them. Let us rather be the “can works,” the “in works,” the “will works.” And does some one ask what are the prospects of success? Let them listen to Adoniram Judson, as he says, “Tell them as much as there is an Almighty and a faithful God, who will perform His prom- ises, and no more.” Let us believe that we have but two limits to all of our en- deavors, God’s commands and God’s prom- is A Holy Ministr Ye mount the that he may see the | It is life itself, sanctified life, that is heavenly realn > yong, Yet t all of God's God's holiest and most effective ministry promi in this world—pure, sweet, patient. ear- tions. 2 sy done by us in | nest, unselfish, loyi ing life.

The United States os Fura Nedrly Ohe- half the Total. = It appears fromm a recent consul J.whiclr is neeessarily only approximate, that the newspapers of the world num- ber no fewer fhan 43,000, of -vhich 5410 are dailies, and more than one- half of all are published in the United States. : x To gain some tangible conception of this enormous output of news it is in- teresting to know that to devote five minutes to each of the world’s news-§{ papers would occupy nearly one year and eight months, reading for six Lours each day; while, at the same: rate, to skim the daily papers alone would take eleven weeks. i An annual subscriber to the daily papers alone would have to pay $40,= 000, independent of postage or car- riage to his news agent. Each thousand newspapers is dis- tributed among the different countries in the following ratio: United States, 462; Great Britain, 141; German, 127; France, 95; Italy, 35; Austria-Hun- gary, 28; Russia; 19; Spain, 20. It will be seen from this list that the output of the United States is nearly equal to the combined publications of Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Canada and Russia, and is only three-eighths per cent. less than half the total output of the world. These newspapers are published in eighty-one different languages, fifteen of which are represented by one paper only, while many of the papers are published in two r. even more tongues. The credit of the largest circulation belongs to a half-penny paper, * Le Petit Journal, of Paris, which has a circulation rarely falling below a million copies. The Austrian Imperial Review has’a circulation of three copies only. The smallést paper is the’ Mexican Tele- graph, which measures eight inches by half an inch, 1 WISE WORDS.

Magistrate Jermon once spent a sum- mer ‘in a little town in South Jersey and made the acquaintance of a jus- tice of the peace who held more offices than Pooh Bah himself. “He was.” says Jermon, “a notary public, a store- keeper, superintendent of the Sunday- school, a lay preacher, postmaster, cor- oner, a farmer and a few more things that I can’t recall now. He was a shrewd old fellow, as a decision in a case that I heard will go to show. Two farmers had a dispute about the owner- ship of some poultry, and each pleaded his own case. Each side had an equal number of witnesses and there was some tall swearing done all around. If I had been sitting on the case 1 should have given it up as a bad job, or sent it to court for trial. But that's just what he didn’t do. “I forgot to state that in addition to all his other functions he was his own constable. The hens were in court in a coop and he ordered that the constable should take the coop to the roadway op- posite the farms of the litigants and turn the creatures loose. And he did the job himself and got his fee for doing it.

NS ATT DURR, the aged white man, who has lived among the Oklahoma Indians for many years, and is ac- 73 quainted with their cus- uwauitions and languages more than any other white man in the South- west, says of the Tonkawas of to-day: “Every one of the fifty descendants oN Tuass, of the Tonkawas is shunned and de- - spised by the members of other tribes. The remnants of the man eaters, who devoured thousands of other redskins, always hunt for a friend, which they seldom find. The ancient Tonkawas were the Ishmaelites of the red race, and their fifty still living descendants are actually ‘hated by other Indians for the human flesh eating committed by their ancestors. “Tradition relates that the last big feast of roasted human flesh caused the death of several thousand of the voracious cannibals in Texas. Hav- ing gorged themselves on the tender flesh of several hundred eaptured Ki- owa Indians, they indulged in their last sleep. Many thousand Kiowa In- dians, and some other children-robbed- redskins approached the unguarded wigwams_ of the gluttonous man eat- ers and slew all they could find. Only a few, the progenitors of the fifty still remaining Tonkowas, escaped.” It is related of the Tonkawas that an old custom was to hold a feast at least once each year, at which they killed and ate. any prisoner in their possession whe- had been sentenced to death; and it is added that it made no difference at: these annual feasts whether the color of the prisoner was white or red, the alleged fate-was the same. In this connection Jack Leedy, of Hennessey, O. T., who ‘for many years was in the employ of ‘the Gov- ernment at the Anadarko Indian agen- ey; in Southwestern Oklahoma, re- | lates this story, evidently the same oc- casioh as refered to by Matt. Durr, al- though the twor differ somewhat in the minor details on “In the fall of 1875 the Tonkawas dafne ap from Texas and camped about five miles southwest 9% the Anadarko agency; it being the season’ for the man eating feast, it was learned they had a prisoner, a young Caddo Indian, and expected to kill him for the occa- sion. It was estimated that about 250 Tonkawas were in camp, and the Cad- does planned to rescue their tribesman, but, being few in number themselves, they persuaded the Kiowas, who were friendly, to join them and massacre ‘the Tonkawas. : “On the night settled upon for the butchery they stole upon the Tonka- was in the darkness and waited for the moon to rise; it was about midnight when the warwhoop of the chief was given, and, with uplifted tomahawks, they rushed into the Tonkawa camp, striking down their victims as they sprank from. the beds of leaves. Out of the entire number of Tonkawas but forty-two escaped. The Kiowas and Caddoes scalped their victims and left the bodies to be devoured by wild beasts and buzzards. The spot where the massacre took place was marked for many years by the skulls and bones lying around on the ground, but they were later buried by order of the Gov- ernment.”—Daily ‘Oklahoman. A BABOON HERO. The German naturalist, Brehm, in comparing the monkeys of the Old World with the marmosets and mon- keys of the New, says that the move- ments of Old World monkeys are free and unfettered, compared with the clinging and creeping of their Ameri- can cousins. Their character is shown by their conduct in the presence of danger, and by the awe which they inspire in hunting dogs. Herr Brehm tells this story of an adventure with baboons in Africa: “Our dogs, beautiful, slender grey- hounds, accustomed to fight success- fully with hyenas and other beasts of prey, rushed toward the baboons, which, from a distance, looked more like beasts of prey than like monkeys, and drove them hastily up the preci- pices to right and left. But only the females took to flight; the males turned to face the dogs, growling, beat the ground with their hands, opened their “mouths wide, showed their glittering teeth, so furiously and maliciously that the hounds, battle-hardened and usually bold, shrank back discomfited and al- most timidly sought safety beside us. Before we had succeeded in stirring them up to show fight, the position of the monkeys had changed considera- bly, and when the dogs charged a sec- ond time nearly all the herd were in safety. But one little monkey about a year old had been left behind. It shrieked loudly as the dogs rushed toward it, but succeeded in gaining the top of 4 before they had arrived. Our and we thought that they.would catch it. That , was. not to be. Proudly and with dignity, without hurrying in the least, or paying any heed to us, an old male stepped down from the secufity of the rocks toward the hard-pressed little one, walked . toward the dogs without betraying the slightest fear, held them in check with glances, ges- tures and sounds that seemed almost like intelligible speech, slowly climbed the rock, picked up the baby monkey, and retreated with it before we could reach the spot, and wi the slight est attempt to prevent him 1 on the part of the dogs. While the patriarch of the formed ‘this brave 11 the otlrer»mer on the cli > troop per- nbers ILS and looked at their adversaries | had never before heard from baboons Old and young, males and females, roared, screeched, snarled and bel: lowed all ‘together, so that one would -have thought that they were’ strug- gling with leopards or other dangerous beasts. I learned later that this was the monkey's battle ery. It was intended to intimidate us and the dogs, possibly also to encourage the brave old giant who was running into such evident danger before their eyes. A JUVENILE TOREADOR. There was an accident yesterday shortly after the close of a novillada at the Plaza Mexico that came near resulting in the death of a few young hopefuls who took it into their heads that they would like to join in the na- tional sport. Shortly after the crowd left the ring a half dozen young boys of ages rang- ing from twelve to fifteen years, got down into the bull ring to play bull fight. One of the number thought the game was too slow, so while the ring attendants were busy about other work he entered the pen where the bulls were confined and slyly let one of the into the ring. ‘With a mad rush the big black bull entered the ring. One of the little boys had been using his plush linen cape for a capa in his plays with the other boys, and he was near the door when the bull entered. Although one of the opposite gates was open the bull made no effort to get away, but rushed at the boy with the cape. There was but one thing for the boy to do, and he did it. With all the knowledge which he had gained by watching the matadors in the ring, he let the bull charge the cape. But his arms were too. short and the bull struck him a hard blow, knocking the little fellow fully fifty feet and tearing his shoulder with his horn. The angry bull then turned his attention to the red cape. ‘When the other boys saw the bull charging them they fled for the fence and climbed to safety, where they watched the bull tearing the cape.; Fis nally it occurred to one of the older boys that by all charging for the. bull he might possibly be scared away from the prostrate body of the injured lad. So with clubs and boards they drove the bull from the ring. They gave their attention to the bull none too quickly, for he had tred .of pawing and stamping the cape and was ‘mak- ing for the boy. When the doctors got in their work on the little fellow, whose name is Angel Morelos, they found that the wound was the only thing of conse- quence, and that although the boy was senseless from the blow, there was nothing of a really dangerous nature to fear from the accident, as the hurt was a flesh wound.—Mexican Herald. AWED A PIRATE. Rajah Brooke, when he first went to Sarawak, lived a life fraught with per- il, of which he seemed to be uncon- scious. One day in his house in the capital he srt down to meat. Sudden- ly Lingire, a noted Malay pirate, walked into the dining hall with a troop of armed warriors at his heels. There was not the thickness of paper between Brooke and death, and he knew it. Courteously he waved the chief to a chair; the others squatted on the floor. Brooke called to a ser- vant and said in English: “Bring a bottle of sherry! chiefs know who is here!” Lingire talked awhile of his prowess and the cowardice of the Dutch. Time passed and the squatting scoundrels looked at one another. The lives of the Rajah and his unarmed English com- panions were to be numbered in sec- onds. There was a heavy tramp on the veranda and the Malay soldiers of the capital thronged into the rdéom with drawn weapons. The pirates did not speak, but the newcomers did talk- ing enough. They cursed them, body, bones and hair; they pressed the points of keen weapons against their throats. Then Brooke showed knowledge of the native character. He knew that the pirate was terrorized. At a sign from him the ranks opened, and Lingire and his men went out un- scathed. He became the Rajah’s friend, used to visit him, sit with him in chairs on the veranda and talk about the Dutch, but he never ad- mitted that he had vowed to have the Englishman's head and hang it in a basket to a tree.—Windsor Magazine. Let my DEER JUMPED INTO BED. Deer are becoming so plentiful in Massachusetts that on a recent morn- ing Arthur White and Elmer E. Black- man, occupying rooms on the first story of the apartment house at 456 Massa. chusetts avenue, Cambridge, had a fright because of the frantic atiempts of a full grown doe to climb into bed with them, White was asleep at 7 o'clock when he was awakened by what sounded to him like the laborous efforts of an in- toxicated man to mount the stairs. The next moment the door was burst open with a crash, and a large deer bounded in and made a dive for the bed. White used his bare feet in an effort to ward off at attack of the an- imal, and then reinforcements came in the form of his friend Blackman. To- gether they made an effort. to get the deer into a corner, but the strength of the animal was too 1auch for them. The struggles of the men and deer completely wrecked the furnishing in two rooms.. Finally, with aid .of outsiders who came to ‘ we the rose wher | doe vas penned into a chest, [it wrought havoe with White's eloth- jing. Later the animal was locked in {a stable.

One need no longer sirain her wrist and commit all kinds of sins trying to get the top off the glass jar that holds some special canned or preserved deli- cacy. Wrapping the top in hot cloths is all very well, but it doesn’t always work, as many a housewife knows when time presses and the jar is ob- durate. A little wrench is now to be had that clasps the jar top tightly, and is so made to be adjustible to any sized top. Once adjusted, it is an easy matter with the leverage given to un- screw the test top. ODDS AND ENDS.

It should be used as freely as if it were water, and you wouldn't put a waist a-soak in a ‘pint of water, would you? Not, at least, out looking decent. Never: wring silk, either in the piece Silk ribbons can be washed to look like new, but should be passed through the wringer to re- move the water. Always iron with tis- sue-paper between the ribbon and the iron, and don’t have the irons very hot.—Detroit Free Press, HOW TO MEND GRANITE. It has long been thought that mend- ing granite or wood fibre ware is an impossibility, but after a little experi- ence one learns that such mending can be done, and at home, with almost no expense. When a granite basin or kettle be- gins to leak, the hole may be enlarged a little and a copper rivet driven into it. It takes but a moment, very little strength, and the leak is effectually stopped. Different sizes of copper rivets may be bought at the hardware store, probably for five cents a pack- age, assorted. These will likely mend all the graniteware that one would use in a lifetime. The rivet has a head on one end, the small end is inserted in the hole in the article to be mended, (t is pressed through, and then the ves- sel placed upon something firm and the end of the rivet hammered down or flattened out, to hold it in place. The rivets are soft and easily manip- ulated. It is best to mend a hole as soon as it appears, for if left to be- come too large, the granite is liable to peel off for some distance around, and if it does, the ware will not hold the rivet, but will chip away. There exists a device for mending wood fibre which until now one sup- posed could not be mended. The ar- ticle mended was a tub, and had quite a hole broken into it. The oavner took some putty and carefully filled up the break, and allowed it to harden. This might last a time, but to make the work more substantial, the place was painted over and a firm cloth pressed over the paint, painted again and lo! the tub was quite as strong as ever, it not stronger in that place.—Philadel- phia Record. ———— per er rt tng Pe oo SEO ; we RECIPES 3 etree mm mn Minced Ham—>Mince two cups of cold boiled ham; warm it in a eream gravy, put it on a hot platter; poach six eggs and put them on the meat; make the gravy of one-half cup of sweet milk, one even teaspoonful of butter, with flour sufficient to make quite thick: cook the gravy before putting in the minced ham, which only needs to be warmed through.
