women all of the dioining householder
must rush out and lend their assistance.
But for two reasons the woman will not
call II she be person of wisdom and fore
thought. The first reason is that these
robbers are known to carry long, sharp
swords, which they WELD with unerring
skill and the strength of desperation,
knowing as they do that capture means
death, and murder is their only escape.
The second reason is more powerful than
the first, in that it touches what is more
dear to woman than life, be she of what.
ever nation. Society with her is so con-
stituted that to be detected in company
with strange man, be he even robber
in the act of stealing her jewels, is dis
grace worse than the loss of her much
priced ornaments; so that rather than call
crowd of witnesses to her disgrace, she
will part with her valuables and keep
quiet, excusing their loss to her husband
or master as best she may. There are
certain festival occasions when the cur
few regulations arc set aside, and then all
miegle freely i'll the festivities under the
light of the moon. Even then, however,
the women who appear remain securely
yelled.

Sne only answered with the sentence
that the hooking voices had kept ring
ing in her ear.
"a gamblers wife. a gamblers wife l''
And the story was told. There was
no denial, no refutation. The criminal
had faced the terrors of the law and all
consequences of his calling with reckless
bravery, to be completely broken down
by this despairing reclamation.
This was retribution At the supreme
crisis of life words are few, the most in
tense emotion is silent.
Some hours passed before that night
history was told, and Arthur Randolph
knew how near he had been to losing the
great treasure of his life. Only the
sight of st. Augustine illuminated cross
had saved her. He was not likely to in
cur like peril again. A solemn vow was
registered OF the kind that is kept.
The hour of midnight struck. To-
gether, hand in hand they stood listen
ing to the faint sound of Trinitys charm.
ing bells:
Hank the Herald Angels sing!
The sound tloated over the two great
cities, but there was no pause in the
midnight revel. Day and night the tide
of life sweeps on. There is peace in
happy homes. There is human love and
noble aspiration forever waging war
against suffering and evil. The victory
is sure, only it is long in coming unless
in His sight with whom thousand years
are but as yesterday.
The Christmas chimes meant hope and
salvation to the two whose lives were re-
deemed-one from sin and one from
selfishness. Over all the Christmas
peace rested in benediction, while the
bells chimed:
Joy to the worldl
The cross still cleaned with dazzling
rays of hope amid the darkness of the
night. Those who sat in darkness saw
a great light. -Faancis A. C0nant, in

Recipes.

FLAKY SODA BISCUIT. Mix together
quart of very dry flour, a teaspoonful
of baking soda, two of cream of tartar
and saltspoonful of salt; pass through
sieve, then chop in two ounces of but
ter or lard, and mix quickly with milk
to make very soft dough. Flour the
board well, roll out, sprinkle with flour,
double it over and roll out again; cut
into biscuits half an inch thick. Bake
In very hot oven about fifteen minutes.
JELLIED CmcKEN-Boil a chicken
tender, take off skin, cut the meat into
small pieces, taking out the bones; skim
all the grease off the liquor in a pot; mix
a tablespoon of corn starch with little
water, rub smooth and let it boil up good;
season well with salt and pepper. Boil
eggs hard, peel and slice lining the bot
tom and sides of crock with them, then
pour into this the prepared chicken, and
set in a cold place to harden. Turn out
when cold.
Snow BALLs.-Half cup of rice and
the same of pearl tapioca, half cup of
sugar quart of milk, Tablespoonful
of salt; soak rice and tapioca well,
mixed together while dry in three cups
of water four hours; salt and milk,
dropping in a tiny bit of soda, pour upon
the cooked cereals and let them stand
together half an hour; set over the fire
in farina kettle and simmer slowly one
hour; fill small cups with the mixture
while hot, and when cold put on ice.
Turn out in saucer and eat with cream.
Potato FRITTERs.-Take five or six
large mealy potatoes and slice them
lenethwise, about one fifth of an inch in
thickness. Have ready a deep griddle
on the fire, in which some lard or nice
drippings have been melted; lay the
slices in separately. ana sprinkle them
with salt, Fry them to nice brown on
one side, then turn and brown the other
Try them with fork, and as soon as
one piece is thoroughly done, dip it in
batter ,and return 1t to the griddle. By
the time the last piece is dipped, the
first will need turning. AS soon as the
fritters are Drowned on both sides, lay
them on heated dish and put more on
the griddle. They need constant atten-
ton to keep them from becoming too
crisp or burned. Half teacupful of
sweet milk, one egg, little salt, and
flour enough to make it as stiff as pound
cake, is good recipe for the batter.
Apples sliced and cooked in the same
manner and eaten with sugar, make
good desert.

Useful Hints.

Any gold jewelry that an immersion in
water will not iniure can be beautifully
cleaned by shaking it we'll in bottle
nearly half full of warm soapsuds, to
which little prepared chalk has been
added, and after rinsing in clear cold
water and wiping it dry.
What laundress that has ever used
wringer has not had her patience tried
when soap and water and hard rubbing
would not clean the rubber rollers of the
colored lint that would bury itself, as it
were, in the smooth surface and resist
all efforts to remove it2 A wringer can
be cleaned in two minutes by saturating
a cloth in kerosene oil and rubbing it
over; it will look like new.
To remove furniture bruises, wet the
part with warm water; double a p Gee of
brown paper five or six times, soak it
and lay it on the place; apply on that
hot flat-iron till the moisture is evapora-
ted. If the bruisc be not gone, repeat
the process. After two or three appli-
cations the dent or bruisc will be raised
level with the surface. Keep it continu-
ally wet, and in few minutes the bruise
will disappear.
A child's bed should slope little from
the head to the foot, So that the head
may be little higher than the feet-but
never bend the neck to get the head on
to pillow. This has tendency to
make the child oundshouldered, cramps
the veins and arteries, and interferes
with the free circulation OF the blood.
Even when the child is several years old
the pillow should be thin, and made of
hair, not feathers.
Tin canned goods, when opened,
should be Immediately transferred to
glass or earthenware receptacles. Re-
cent investigations show that cases of
poisoning from eating canned goods have
arisen from the acid of the canned food
attacking the solder OF the tins, and
sometimes from decomposition accelera-
ted by an electrical action between the
solder. and the iron, of the tin. Never
leave canned fruits, meats or fish in
opened tin cans.

For you who live and love me
Az silent love doth will;
All Christmas thoughts that move me
Call you like bellsl until
You wonder who doth pray,
You wonder who doth say:
"By the hurt once given,
By the stab deep driven;
By the sacrifice unmade,
By the stone instead of bread;
BY the heart misunderstood
May my sorrow be your goodl
Oh, be happy for my having
Blessed you wholly for my saving
Power out Of pain to pray:
The joy miss, be yours today"
