COLD WATER COFFEE.

For every cup of water use heapi ng
tablespoonful of coffee. Soak the coffee
for several hours in cold water-it may
be soaked all night. Then bring it to-
the boiling point and let it simmer for q
few minutes just before using. This is
said to be the most economical way for,
more is obtained from the coffee by this
treatment. This favor is certainly fine.
Long boiling dissipates the delicious
aromatic oils, and as probably these are
the most valuable properties of the coffee
the necessity of preserving them is easily
seen. Be careful not TO boil for mora
than from three to five minutes, and
simmer rather than boil, so as to pre-
serve as much as possible the fine favors
which are so quickly dissipated by boil
ing, yet the high temperature seems to-
be necessary to extract the desirable
properties of the bean. One must
therefore ever bear in mind the seeming
paradox-that coffee should reach the
boiling point and yet not boil.-AtlantaI

TRI.E GREATNESS.

The greatest man is he who serves the
greatest pumber of his fellow-men III the
best manner. The man who seeks to make
others serve him is not a great but small
man. He who tries to elevate bimself by
bringing others down is the smallest and
worst man. "Whosoever of you will be the
chiefcst, shall be the servant Of oil, - is the
rule of greatness as laid down by the
Saviour. This service Is not to be menial
serviIity required by the command OF au-
thority of the one served. It Is free in its
exercise and its reception.
1t cannot be required or given under com.
pulsion. The ministration Of love is limited
only By the ability of the one exercising it.
II is not bounded by the narrow lines OF q
certain party to which one belongs. 1t IS
the same principle which in the Father OF
An reaches to every one of his creatures.
In him it is nimited, because he is able to
extend his benefits to all. In finite beings
the same kind of love may exist, but 1t Will
necessarily be limited.
While we canpot bless every human De-
ing ith our ministrat;ons, we may cX-
tend our good works to more than we oiten
think. We can help very many il we only
try. We need not do much to any, and
therefore be able to do little for many.
But if it is necessary that we do al for one,
or for q few, AMI nothing therefore Tor
Ctbers, we are none the less dutiful for so
limiting our ministrationS in extent II we
do not limit in amount.
But let us not forget Coils rule Of greatness
and seek kourgreatnrSsin in serving others rather
than requ iring others TO serve US. 'ror tne
Son of man came not to he mnistered unto'
but TO minister, and to give his life aransom
for many"

A LESSON FROM A PRIZE FIGHT.

The prize fight between Corbett and Sui.
Ivan was, as all prize fights are, orutai
affair; but if valuable lesson can be ex-
tracted from it, It seems to rs well worth
while to extract it. Corbett II not total
abstainer, is the next thing to one. Sullivan
will not we hope, be disposed to knock Ms
out if we observe that he IS not. lmme-
diately after the fight, when Corbstts
friends drank enthusiastically to his health,

friend who had not for two years drank
LIQUOR declared that for once he was going
to break his pledge. but Corbett Is said to
have threatened never to speak to him again
if he did. The first thing Sullivan did after
be pulled himself together was to 90 on
continuous jag, lasting until he was placed
on the homeward- bound train and his trainer
succeeded in seeing that the supply OF liquor
ran out. The speech which his trainer made
to him on the train will not rank with one OF
Demosthenes's orations, but it had pith and
point to it nevertheless. He said: :,
..Boozo has brought you down to the level
ladder. Isn't that enough? You made
game fight, and will have no trouble IN
getting along if you let the bottle alone. II
you keep on though, you'll be a common

Two ILLUSTRATIONS.

The effects of license and prohibition are
clearly seen in two towns lying side by side
in our Empire State. The one is city Of
ten thousand inhabitants with ninety-nine
licersed drinking places. 1t goes without
saying that poverty abounds and crime is
rite. The many manufactures render it
possible for each poor man to own his home.
Instead, in most cases, his earnings go into
the rumseller's till, and the hearts OF many
good citizens who love purity and temper
ance are filed with sorrow and discourage
ment. The other, a village Of three thou.
sand five hundred inhabitants, has had no
license for fourteen years. The law is en-
forced. 1t has one Of the finest Normal
Schools in the State. The building, costing
one hundred thousand dollars. was the gift
OF citizens TO the State.
1t is hard to find a home Of destitution and
most citizens own their pleasant homes.
They have fine water system owned BY the
town; electric lights, also the towns prop
erty; and line of electric cars connecting
her with her less favored sister.
If one is willing to see, it is easy to deter.
mine the claims Of license VS.. prohibition by
these two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Advocate.

SENATOR coLoU1rr's IDEA OF WORSHIP.


What an idea we have nowadays OF wor-
ship. We sometimes think that churches are
only made for talking and preaching, that
they are only to be made comfortable and OF
good acoustic properties, and that we are
doing our whole duty when we get there at
II O'Clock on Sunday morning 10 hear the
preacher talk. Some Of US have an Idea
that we are worshiping God when we come
in on Sunday morning, all dressed IN our
best bibs and fuckers, and sit up and critl'
else the preacher, never getting on our
knees to pray, but putting two fingers of a
tightly-gloved hand to one OF our temples,
as if we we're rejecting about some
thing. This is what some people
call church service. It's q mockery. In
the early days the service consisted Of some.
thing more than prophesying, which meant
preaching. The almsgiying. was one OF the

prises or In anything else, must have services
different from those I have described. It
must be composed Of warm-hearted, true
men and women. It must be active and
energetic, and somebody besides the pastor
has cot to do some Of the work. Every man,
perform. and these duties; Should not be neg.
iected. Ibeieve as firmly as I believe anything
in the world that what this New Testament
SAYS Is literally and emphatically true. l
believe 1t Is right when it tells us that It is
more blessed to give than to receive. Yet
the philosophy Of today teaches that 1t Is
blessed to get all you can and keep all you
get. Talk about the teachings OF the skep.
tics and infidels. believe this doubling Of
one of Gods fundamental laws is the cause
of more skepticism than all their teachings
combined There Is really no true happii.
ness in this world for the man who doesn't
feel for his ncighbor. The man who lives q
life SO narrow that he can think OF no one
but himself, that he can see no ones needs
but bis own, who can think Of only what
be can get, can find no real happiness in this
world, and It's doubtful II he will get any IN

"There is no way" said the late Dr..

increase mutual love than by praying for
one another. If you would retain warmth
Of affection for an absent friend, pray for

other. beseech him to pray for you. If you
would conquer enmity in your own soul
toward one who has wronged you. pray TOR
him. Disscnsion or coldness can not abide
between those who bear each other to Gods
throne in supplication. 1t is what we meet
to do in family worship.

HOW TO cooK swEETBREADs.

sweetbreads are the paucreatic glands
of the calf. They are good while the
animal lives on milk, but change when!
it begins to eat grass and hay, and are
no longer useful for food. The gland
consists of two parts, the long, slender
portion called the stneck" sweetbzead, J
and the round, thick part known as the
"heart" sweetbread. These are some!
times sold separately, but they should be-
together. Among epicures they ara
considered dainty, and are certainly a
most acceptable form of food tor the
sick.
As soon as sweetbreads come from
the market they should be cleaned and
parboiled. Cut off the pipes, fat and
any bruised portion, and wash quickly
in cold water. Pour into saucepan
some boiling water, salt it aud add a lit
tie lemon juice or viniger-not more
than teaspoonful 10 pint OF water
Parboil the sweetbreads in this Tor ffIi
teen minutes If they are to be creamed, J
broiled or baked, or again cooked In
any way. If they are to be served plain
with peas they should cook twenty five
or thirty minutes. When done, drain
of the water and cool. :
Sweetbreads must always be parboiled
as soon as possible after being taken
from the animal.
Make cream sauce with q cup OF
sweet cream, a tablespoon Of -four and al
half tablespoon Of butter. Then cut
a sweetbread in half-inch cubes, salt it
slightly, and sprinkle on little white
pepper. Mix equal quantities of sweet
bread and cream sauce together, put the
mixture into individual porcelain patty
dishes or scallop dishes, sprinkle the top
with buttered crumbs, and bake In q
hot oven on the CRATE for ten minutes.
This will give sufficient time to
finish the cooking of the sweetbread
without hardening it. The sau.e may
be made quite acceptably with milk BY
using a whole instead of half q table
spoon of butter.
This is most delicious way of prepsr-'
ing sweetbreads, and one particularly
desirable for the sick. They will be
tender and delicate if care is taken not
to overlook them, in either boiling or
baking.-Chicago News Record.

Chocolate Candy-Take one cup OF
grated chocolate, three cupfuls OF
granulated sugar. a piece of butter the
size of a walnut, one cupful of lot
water, and one teaspoonful of vanilla.
Boil for ten minutes, stirring constantly;
fry in a cup of cold water, and as soon
as it is of the consistency of molasses
pour into buttered tins. Take silver
knife and stir back and forth until it
sugars, then mark off into little squares
and set away to cool.
Fried Liver-Have the beef or sleeps
liver cut in slices half an inch thick. Dip
them into salted flour aud put into hot
lard in your skillet, with small piece OF
breakfast bacon added. Fry brown
quick on both sides, then add a little
hot water, and cover close. Set upon
the back part of the stove and COOK
slowly till we'll done, being careful to
keep it from cooking hard. Take the
liver out upon a platter; make a nice
gravy and pour over it.
scalloped Chicken-cut the cold
cooked chicken into small pieces, and to
each pint OF meat allow one-half pint Of
sauce made as follows: Melt one tea-
spoonful of butter and rub in it one even
teaspoonful of flour, then add one.half
pint of milk; stir continually until it
bboila, add one-half tesspoonful Of salt
and a little pepper. Chop four hard
boiled eggs, and alternate in layers with
the chicken in an earthen dish. Season
with little salt and pepper, and moisten
with the sause. Cover the top with
bread crumbs, dot here and there with
butter, and bake in hot oven for fifteen
minutes.
flashed Potatoes-Take six cold
boiled potatoes, mince them and season
them with salt and pepper, adding a
little milk or a little stock as you prefer.
A scaut half cupful OF liquid IS generally
sufficient. Melts teaspoonful of butter
in an omelet pan, aud when the pan is
very hot pour in the potatoes, spread
them evenly, and set them little back
on the stove or in the oven well covered,
to brown. When they are q golden
brown on the bottom, fold them over
like an omelet and serve. The addition
of little parsley minced, or teaspoon
full of onion, gives new zest to this
dish. !
