ually heated ? Obviously loss of al
bumen by emulation and diffusion through
the water, especially in the case of sliced
fish or OF meat exposing much surface of
fibers cut across. 1t is also evident that
such loss of albumen will be shown by its
coagulation when the water is sufficiently
heated. Practical readers will at once
recognize in the scum which rises to
the surface of the boiling water, and in
the milkiness that is more or less diffused
throughout it, the evidence of such loss of
albumen. This loss indicates the desira-
bility of plunging the fish or flesh at once
into water hot enough 70 Immediately CO
agulate the superficial albumen, and
thereby plug the pores through which the
inner albuminous juice otherwise exudes.
But this is not all. There are other
juices besides the albumen, and these are
the most important of the favoring con-
stituents, and, with the other constituents
OF animal food, have great nutritive value !;
so much 80, that animal food is quite taste
less and almost worthless without them.
l have laid especial emphasis on the above
qualification, lest the reader should be led
into an error originated by the bone-soup
committee of the French Academy, and
propagated widely by Liebig--that of re-
gardiDg these juices as concentrated
nutriment when taken alone.-W. Mdttieu
Williams, in Popular Science Monthly.

His Service.

In letter just received, one says !:
Sometimes think that God is calling
me to give my whole time to his service.
What do you think ?" That is precisely
what God is calling on all of us to do.
We believe in reguarly-ordained minis
try, but the ministry of service to God
and to our fellow men, is consistent with
all the ordinary vocations of life. You
need not now leave the fi'hing-net, or the
office, or the farm, in order to follow
Christ. Some one nust dig bitches, or
till the ground, or bind sheaves. Some
one must care for the flock, or print books,
or measure cloth. The house is to be
kept, the bread to be baked, the dishes to
be washed, and the garments to be made
and mended. One calling is just as hon.
orable in Gods sight as another. He
sees not as men see. To be faithful to
him in all things is the service he requires.
If it is to learn the lesson, or to tarry by
the sick-bed, he knows best. If it is to be
afflicted and compelled to suffer and
wait, then it is serving him wholly to
abide in that calling and wait. His COM
mandments are not grievous. He is no
task-master. He is living Father, who
considereth our frame and remembereth
that we are dust.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1883-06-27

with remorse the sleeper cried "Have
mercy upon me, o Lord / am not
worthy to put aught into my Saviour's
hand"
With panied and pleading look these
words were spoken:
81 gave my life for thee,
Witt thou give naught to me?"
Quickly the half-dollar was thrown away
by the trembling listener, and coin of
gold was laid instead upon the bleeding
palm. AS the shining bit touched the
wound the flow of blood was lessened. In
the attitude of divine benediction the
Lord Christ thus spoke: "Disciple, thou
hast wrought good work for me. The
tears of my people must be wiped away;
the nations must be purged from sin /; the
gospel of good tidings must sound in
every ear before this bleeding wound
can be wholly healed. Blessed be they
who hasten on the dsyp
Deep organ tones wakened the sleeper
when The collection was about to be taken.
Clutching at her husbands arm Mrs.
Whitcomb whispered eagerly, "John,
you won't put in that fifty cents, will
you ? Why, dear, it's the hand of the
Lord !" In bewilderment the Judge
looked at his sgitsted wife, who pleaded
again Z" l mean the contribution box,
John it is the hand of Christ, our Lord
Could you lay few cents upon it ?"
"No, wife," was the joyous reply. al
will give fifteen dollars" every well,
and I'll give as much more"
Was it his wife who thus spoke, the
very same who had outwitted him in the
morning2 Yes, the very same woman
renewed. She had seen the Lord and
heard his words she had learned the
deep meaning of the Saviour's " mas
much" Never again would good judg-
ment keep her from ministering to her
crucifed Redeemer, through the poor,
the sorrowing and benighted. The con-
tribution box had been transformed but
still more wonderful and blessed was the
transformation which had taken place in
one of the Kings daughters l-Congre-
nationalist.

A Minister'S Dream.

He appeared to be hitched to carriage,
and he was attempting to pull it along.
He reached point not far from the
church but the mud seemed to grow
deeper and deeper, the vehicle drew so
heavily that he gaspea for breath, and
almost sank down exhaused. This struck
him as the more inexplcable, because,
looking back, he saw the entire congrega-
ton behind the carriage, apparently push
ing it on. But the longer he tried, the
harder the labor became, till finally he
was forced to stop and examine the diff
Guilty. He went to the rear where he sup.
posed his helpers were, but nobody could
be found. He called, but got no answer.
He repeated the call again and again, but
there was still no reply. By and by, one
voice spoke to him by name. Looking
up, whom should he see but one of his
deacons gazing complacently out of the
window, Aud on going to the door OF
the carriage, what was his establishment
to behold the whole congregation sitting
quietly inside And the tired man, who
relates the story, asks plaintively enough
at the close of it, Z" Do you suppose this
was all dream ?"

POliteness.

The rules of etiquette are not always
arbitrary DEGREES, but have their founda-
ton, like true politeness, in Christian
principle. Consideration for the feelings
of others 10 the handspring of the ma
chinery of society. The Difference to age,
the courtesy to women, the respect to
equals and interiors, the little thoughtful
acts that put one at his ease, the deferen-
tial listening while another speaks, the
patience with the loud and wearisome
tslker and "a hundred other courtesies,
done simply and without ostentation,
naturally flow from the sources of social
happiness-an unselfish spirit. To give
some examples: Do not press forward to
select for yourself the best place at pub
lie entertainment, nor proclaim with cor
rugated brow and loud whisper your dis
appreciation of more successful pusher.
At table do not express your dislike of
food nor imperil your reputation by pre-
tending to be fond of every dish. Eat
quietly and criticise not. Always answer
note or acknowledge a courteous act
Immediately on reception. 1t would be
rudeness for you to be silent, if one ad-
dressed you by speech it is just as rude
not to reply to note or an invitation, or
on receiving favor or present. And
never omit, after visit of any length, to
advise your entertainers of your safe ar
rival at your destination, and convey
your thanks for their hospitality. We
recall an instance in which person was
misjudged for years because she had neg
lected to acknowledge the receipt of a
present. A beloved old lady, who was
herself model of good breeding, taking
fancy to young girl who was almost a
stranger to her, had sent as small re-
membrauce wedding present of aprayer
book. The old lady never received one
word of acknowledgement, and put down
the neglect to her usual horror" Young
America p 1 often heard her say, That
girl did not care straw for the book
sent herr Years after the dear old lady
had left US forever, became intimate at
the house of the young girl, now mother
of family, and on her book.rack, hunt
ing for volume one day, came across
this prayer-book, worn with constant use
ado you know that book ?" asked she
al think more of it than of any other
Dear Mrs. gave it to me, and | was
50 touched by her remembrance of me-
So lovely in her. l have used it ever
since for my own private prayers !" A
few words of acknowledgement, with hel
warm thanks, would have pleased the
giver and saved the recipient from many
years Of false judgment. Sometimes we
are impolite from thoughtlessness, oftener
from bashfulness but if our courtesy is
based on the broad, Christian golden rule
we shall never forget, and we shall con
quer our timidity by the stronger prin-
ciple of duty.-Intelligencer.

Retention OF the Juices In Cooking
Meats.

Existing thus in liquid state in our
ordinary fiesh-meats, it is liable to be
wasted in the course of cookery, especially
if the cook has only received the custo-
mary technical education and remains in
chronological ignorance. To illustrate
this, let US suppose that leg of mutton,
a slice of cod, or piece of salmon, is to
be cooked in water, boiled, as the cook
says. Keeping 10 mind the results of the
previously-described experiments on the
egg.albumen, and also the fact that in its
liquid state albumen is diffusible in water,
the reader may now stand AS scientific
umpire in answering the question whether
the fish or the flesh should be put in hot
water at once, or in cold water, and be
gradually heated. The "bie- sndians
aud the little-endians of Lilliput were
not more definitely divided than are GER
tain cookery authorities on this question
in reference TO fish. refer to the two
which are practically consulted in my own
household, that by Mrs. Beeton, and some
sheet-tablets hanging in the kitchen. Mrs.
Beeton says pour cold water on the fish,
the tablets say immense in hot water.
Combining our attention at present to the
albumen, what must happen, if the fish or
flesh is put in cold water, which is grad
