Ancient WAYS of Cooking yegetabIes.

While the anciert5 were so well sup
piled with vegetables it seems a great
pity that they did not know how to
cook them. Fancy seasoning a boiled
tnrnip with honey, vinegar, gravy. boiled
grapes and little oil. This was the
custom among the Romans. Carrots
they ate raw with salt and vinegar y
recipe for cooking onions left by Apicius
reads as follows: Cover the onions with
Young cabbage leaves, cook under hot
embers, and season with gravy, oil and
wine" And here are the same writer's
directions among others for preparing
lettuce Boil the young leaves with
onions in water wherein little nitre
has been scattered. drain dry and cut
them small. mixing with them pepper,
parsley seed, dried mint and onions,
adding gravy, oil and wine Such a
conglomeration as this could leave
nothing further to be desired. Toronto

One of best stories told Of the late
Larry" Jerome is that when travelling
not very long ago he stayed at a hotel,
the proprietor Of which asked him, when
he was about to depart, to sign his name
in book not quite like an ordinary no
tel register, but one used, after the
fashion OF an old English custom. for
the purpose Of obtaining the names of
distinguished guests
When Mr.. jerome was about to place
his signature with the others he saw
that the writer Just before him had in
scribed the comment, Il came here for
change and rest and got it, Quick as
thought the witty clubman penned be
meath it; ~ also came here for change
and rest, but the walters got the change
and the landlord got the rest. r-Ne,o

said his master, knowing that some one
must always be the first to give in, and
meeting his servant more than half way
with forgiveness and peace. What
heart could Withstand such step to-
ward reconciliation? Truly has it been
said of forgiveness, that this is bridge
over which we all need to pass. Let us
not break it down. A glimmer of light
and comfort came to Martin Luther
when the old monk by his bedside read
aloud the solemn words, Il believe in
the forgiveness of sins" Which OF us
could stand before the God of all, did
He not blot out our failures, and dismiss
our trespasses? Ii we are feeling con-

.ia.er;ca's Social w;chct,ucss.

WHAT'S our society? It has almost
ceased to have national tone; the old
American life and ways are overlaid and
hidden; this is the land to which enor-
nous delegations from other lands mi
CRATE; it seems a great assemblage, a
conglomerate of many and strongly con-
tracted civilizations. Nowhere has there
ever been better field for the devils
double propaganda, and all about us are
the signs Of his activity. True, there
are checks which still restrain the evil T;
but each day some barrier gives way.
To keep to the straight and narrow path
of settled principle and living and
purity Of heart is harder now for our
young people than it was quarter of a
century ago, because false sentiment,
widely influential, condones their ex-
cesses, and even approves Of their mis-
doings.
1t would be painful to inquire what
kind of life is developed under the in
fuences thus at work for the public
rllin-to gauge with the line and plum
met of Gods Word and Law the de-
moralization Of society. For some Of
this there may be excuse; for example,
think how the lower classes live-in
tenements, crowded together in such
wise that decency is impossible; that
children cannot be bought up like
Christians; that young men and women
can hardly by any chance be kept
honest, chaste, and pure. But what
shall be said Of the higher classes-for
those whose sins are without jlstitica-
ton, and denote simply carelessness,
irreligion, and unbelief? Consider how
young girls are trained. in softness and
luxury, with the one idea OF making a
figure in society and a brilliant mar
riage; of making the most Of their physi-
cal advantages and all1ring the other
sex by the arts best adapted to that
purpose. See them on the drive,
through the troubled social sea; at their
lunch parties, with dozen courses and
half as many kinds OF wines; at the
opera, imnodestly attired at the ball,
giving the whole night to dissipation;
at the summer halnts of fashion, with
out due oversight or sense OF response
bility, treated with easy familiarity by
careless men, and apparently without a
vestige of an idea Of what is due to
gentlewoman from a man.
Then pass on, and let us look at the
woman as married-married, perhaps,
for her money, OF marrying some man
for his money, without love and without
respect; married, but with no idea liv-
ing thereafter under bonds; resolved
to be more free and to enjoy life more;
eager for admiration, athirst for compli-
ments and fattery, so that the husband
early drops into secondary position,
and some other man, who does the
for time, engrosses the
larger share of her thoughts. Follow
ont this subject till you come to the di-
vorce suit and the separation, and thence

THE SEAN sEWED By WOMEN.

Somebody has had the moral cour-
age to pitch in, as small boy does i'll
a fight to the seam sewed by women.
Oh, blessed pitcher-in! Oh, most
truthful of writer's! Why can't wo-
man sew seam so it will last? Ans,
why is it man can? The material OF
your gown will tear before the man.
sewed seams will rip, while the seam
will rip if given severe glance when
joined together by the tender hands
OF a woman. Woman is not productive,
of morality; I mean in the way she
makes clothes. Now, just imagine r.
tailor concluding that mans trousers
would set better if he pinned them in
one or two places. Yet this is a con-
clusion not only frequently reached.
but acted upon, by the courteous mo-
diste. One grows to know to ones sor
row that pins can be put where needle
and thread will not reach; and one
grows to wish that it would be allow
able to get up as the spirit moves one
and the pin touches one, and in audi
bic language give ones opinion OF
pinned skirts. One would represent
half the women at the theater. The
cruel pin enters her very-soul, and
she complains of a pain in her heart.
OF curious feeling about her head aud
Of sense of oppression, anything that
will make the unpinned youth with her
take her out in the fresh air SO that she,
may stand up.
Naturally, the amount of temper and
the wicked desire for revenge brought
about by the inhuman behavior of the
pin, makes her long to kill the dress
maker, and so you see more of the i'm
morality of froclzs It's all very we'll
to talk about the pin being predestiped
to act that way, but it would have been
much wiser if the dressmaker had not
been believer in predestination, had.
