Mrs. Beecher's Confirmation.

If success may be considered a cri-
terion of merit, the Home Cook Book can
properly be considered one of the most
meritorious works published Of late years.
1t has been wonderfully successful. Edi-
ton after edition has been issued, 49,
900 copies) and still the demand seems
to be uusatisied. 1t CONSISTS of 39d
handsomely printed pages, and contains
one thousand or more practical, common
sense recipes which have been tried, tested
and found to be "just the thing" CON-
tributed by ladies of Influence and good
Judgment, in Chicago and other cities
and towns, With permission to use name.
We know of no lady of our acquaintance,
who would publicly endorse a recipe, M
less it was the very best she knew. There
could he no better guide book for that
portion of woman's kingdom which re-
latcs to the cuisine than the Home Cook
Book. It is on sale at all bookstores;
price 81 50. A Pocket Edition will be
sent, free, by publisher, on receipt Of a
two cent stamp. The following letter
from Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, con
firms our good opinion:
J. FRED WAGGoSER, Pub'r., Chicago. -
Dear Sir:-As I am not keeping house,
I have not an opportunity to xomln the
Home Cook Book as I like to examine
everything I recommend. But almost by
instinct an old honsekeeper4 can form a
tolerably accuate Judgment Of all that is
usually found in cook books, and If you
rwill accept ofpn instructive, estimate of
the merits of your work, I can trutAiu?!y
say that I am greatly pleased with il: l
like the recipes; most of them are familiar,
some slightly different from the old, we'll
established recipes, and I think they will
be improved by the change. But much
that is more important than recipes is
found in it, with which Ihave been greatly
pleased and instructed. l refer to rule
for Dinner Etiquette" Social Observ-
ances," Table Talk" "Bills Of Fare" etc.
and many other things, brought together
very skillfully aud calculated to be OF
great service to housekeepers, young and
old. Respectfully yours,

SAYS within the last 20 years this city
lost more than half its population
Within the period mentioned 100000
have been prematurely swept away, IN
this one city Of Europe, from various
causes. Two fires occurred, DUNG Rev.
Walsh's residence there, destroying 15,-
600 houses" Our author gives these
facts to support the application he makes
of the prophetic words of Daniel 1.-THE
mp of the river Euphrates." This
s~psnbclical language is to denote the
gradual evaporation, or dying out OF
Mahometauism, to begin surely Ill 1871.
But whilst this power, enabled by the
crescent wastes and withers, the Russian
Eagle may not have the masque OF st.
Sophia, for his eyre, an itinerant court
of Justice. The Turks may cease to be
Mahometan; but, they may become
Christians as a nation. The nine mil
lion of Eastern Christians may rise up
from the power of the Crescent, and be-
come a mighty Dynasty, in place OF Ma
hometanism, and prove a noble obstruc-
ton to Russian ambition. It is notice
able in this author, that with the feelings
of the ruling class of England he has
prejudices against the Russian Empire.
He evidently wishes that Russia have no
credit for helping to diminish Mahome-
tanism. The echoes Of history 10y the
fleets of the ambitious Antscrat, and the
cruel destruction Of the Turkish period
predicted, as indicated by the pouring
out of the sixth vial commenced in 1920,
when the great Euplrates commenced to
"a nried Up, and is >asslredly taking
place, and the final destruction OF the
Turkish Empire may be looked for every
day as it has been since 1850. l fear
the Doctor has not hit the right time for
the end of the Turkish Empire. Turkey,
in a naval and military point OF view, is
stronger now than she was in 1920, and
for Years afterwards. We will wait and
watch the issue of the present gigantic
war. The Doctor seems to have great
sympathy for the Jews, and thinks the
time is near at hand for their return to
Palestine, The happy home Of their early
ancestry. The Doctor opines, that upon
the breaking up Of the Turkish power,
there would follow q general European
wal. He enumerates events to prove
his opinion on this point, bat we will
omit giving them here. The fill OF the
great hail stones, at the opening OF the
seventh vial Of the Apocalypse, he says,
presages are invasion of the North. The
largest one, probably represents the
Russian Car, the Antocrat OF all the
Rcssias. This Great Empire seems to
refer slightly in some prophecies, and
be destined to send to the West and
South OF Europe, especially on the Pa
pal States an overwhelming deluge of
savage barbarians as the agents to axe
cute the judgments OF God, on the guilty
nations of Europe. Russia is destined
to play a mighty part in the last acts OF
the worlds drama and yet, not the less
guilty herself. Ezekiel points to this
po~rtentious Empire, with no spirit OF
laudation.- The Doctor seemed to have
Russia on the brain, aud in reference to
her, be has allowed his imagination to
become excited. More amor J. c. Il.
