John F. was soldier. He was a
member of the Tenth Maine regiment
and orderly sergeant OF his company.
He was every inch a soldier, brave and
true albeit little prone to stick to
the letter rather than the spirit of the
law.
The articles OF war were his study

New York Ledger. In short he was
excessively military - military all

John came home and was shortly after
ward installed into the responsible po-

he Strengthened things out wonder

On the very first Sabbath after his

There had been trouble in certain
quarters resulting from the difficulty
which ladies who came to church late

read as follows:

IT'S a common mistake to regarc

IT'S a common mistake to regard
wealth as a merely material thing
It has some subtle subjective attri-
butes which have never been suft1-
ciently recognized. For example here
in Chicago was poor carpenter. He
lived solitary and uncontrolled, sew
ing the buttons on his own trousers.
When he whacked his thumb nail he
simply put the bruised member In
his mouth and rolled his eyesa little,
and went on with his toll, a lorn man
whom nobody thought about. The
other day he inherited a million.
Presto! 1t projected him, as it were,
from his uncomfortable solitude into
a regular sea of sympathy. Many
score Of estimable ladies Instantly
took their pens in hand to express the
tenderest solicitude for his happiness;
to express the most touching willing
ness to sew his buttons and poultice
his thumb. Perhaps this is the real
secret Of why wealth is so priced by
the discriminating.

This is the great need Of all the members
Of our churches. If this consuming desire

there would be less time and thought for the
profitess discussion of technicaities in faith

''blood earnestness." The seraphic Summer

A passion for souls gives man irresistible

Cooking as a Science.

"Cooking is as much science as
chemistry" said Miss Parloa to Foster
Coates recently. "It is of the first i'm
portance that every woman who is to have
the direction and care of household,
whether large or small, should know how
best to use money for what is wholesome
and palatable, and understand the prin-
ciples upon which food can be most
economically cooked. No woman should
be considered as less accomplished or re-
fined because she has given considerable
attention to household duties, and can,
if need be, prepare dinner better than
the average hired cook. Mistresses
ought to be in every respect the superiors
of their servants instead OF being at their
mercy, as they too often unfortunately
are.
"Every woman ought to study domes-
tic science. She may be so placed later
as to have no occasion to avail herself of
the information acquired, but she will
have lost nothing by her effort to gain
the knowledge; for this homely branch
is really ail-important, since it affects
the body, the mind, the purse aud the
morals of the family. Where you find
high order of cooking, you will find also
refinement in other respects. While
we, as people, ought to live better
than any other nation, we live
too many Of us-on repetitions of
DOOR dishes, and the waste IN
preparing them is something that pains
one who stops to consider it. AFrench
peasant, with nothing more at command
than many an American housewife would
look upon as absolutely vllueless, can
set forth a most appetizing though sim
pie meal, solely because OF superior
knowledge of the way to cook food, and
a natural ability to give the dishes just
the right flavor.
"There ought to be somewhere in the
United States a normal school OF cookery
where teachers could be trained for their
work, and In every town there should
be room where girls could be sent at
least once week from the public schools
to learn the first principles of cleanliness
and of cooking. Such course would
surely decrease the percentage of GRIM
inals and paupers, for unclean homes
and improper food have much to do
with the filling of prisons and aims
houses. 1t seems as if the Government
could not forever be blind to its own in-
terest in this matter. Some day de-
mand may be made for such schools on
the score of humanity. Mail and Ex-
