tablespoons of Hour, one pint of milk,
little salt Beat the yolks and
whites separately. Use a sauce made
OF butter and sugar stirred together.
Strawberry Syrup-Take four
pounds of the best double refined
sugar and one quart of filtered straw
berry juice; put them together in the
bainmarie; stir until thoroughly dis
solved, take OFF the scum and bottle.
In my opinion the flavor OF this syrup
may be heightened by the addition of
a gill OF orange juice TO the above
quantity.

about eight years of age took care of
Il bed of celery in ms fathers garden,
and earned seventy-iive cents for the
cause of missions. On the envelope
IN which he brought his money to his
pastor he wrote these words; Il tell
YOU, worked hard for AIS money. "
His interest in the cause of mission $
was all the greater by reason of the
service and sacrifice he md put into
the money.

deformed for life, with curved spine
and one hip higher than the other, by

body ON one foot, with the hip dropped
down and the spine curved.
There ought to be II law preventing
children in school from standing more
than ten minutes At a time.-jOHrna'
