A GILT EDGE RISK

To pint Of preserved or fresh
strawberry juice add half cupful
each Of orange and lemon juice, and
half cupful of grated pineapple.
Stir all these ingredients together
with quart of ice-water. Put in a
pint of sugar and beat the mixture
thoroughly. Or, if you are willing
to take the extra trouble. boil the
sugar and half the water together
for ten minutes to make a syrup.
Add the fruit juices before the syrup
is taken off the fire; then put in the
remainder of the water and let the
mixture cool. Serve the beverage in
little tumblers one-quarter full of
cracked ice. 1t is a good plan to
have small bag, about eighteen by
nine inches in size. With a stout ice
mallet and this little bag to hold the
ice, bowlful of may be cracked
fine at moments notice. The best
materials for these bage are burlaps

DEATH OF A NOTED MISSIONARY.

Rev. DR.. Robert w. McAll, the
founder of the McAll mission, died in
Paris, France. May II. DR.. McAll
was a Congregational clergyman OF
England. On trip to France with
his wife in 1870 he became deeply in
terested in the spiritual welfare of
the people he met there. He dis
tributed religious tracts among the
Communists, and his constant labor,
with the sweetness of his manner,
gained for him the confidence of the
people. They asked him to come
among them and hold meetings and
he answered their requests by going
to live among them.
The first hall of the McAll mission
was opened in Paris soon after his
first visit. In the hall the gospel of
Christ was preached, hymns were
sung and the poor and the wretched
were made welcome. Sunday
schools were established, and the
work grew until similar halls were
planted in other parts of Paris and
in other cities Of France
Thus for 81 years were the labors
of DR.. McAll conducted. During
that time he accepted no money for
the support of himself or his wife,
but lived modestly on the income OF
a small patrmony.
DR.. McAll's work among the
French people was recognized by the
French government last year, and
DR.. McAll was honored with deco
ration. In this country, too, his
work was well-known through the
American McAll association, which
is an auxiliary to the mission in
Paris.
