Woman Is not inferior to man, but
holds a somewhat different sphere.
She should not seek to be his tyrant,
or consent to be his slave. Her throne
Is the heart. Her empire Is the fami-
ly, with its far-reaching relationship.
As a daughter, wife, sister, mother she,
needs an education as high, and broad,
and varied as mans.

..rhe Old Liberty Bell"

The custodians of the Old Liberty
Bell ought not to have consented to
the taking of the thing to the Colum-
bian Exposition. It's exhibition at
Chicago will tend to revive unpleasant,
not to say, resentful feelings among
the Britains who may be present. IL
will be looked upon as discourteous
and even insulting to the visitors from
the mother country.
Every sentiment Of a worldwide feel
ing OF brotherhood or of the existing
amity between England and the
United States ought to mean, let tho
old bell stay in Its place and 80 every
other relic peculiar to the war OF the
revolution ought to be kept from the
exhibition.
All unpleasant events that may
have taken place between the nations,
but which have been settled, should
not be referred to; and everything
conducive to universal fraternity pre-
sented and made prominent. The
vain glory and foolish ambition OF war
heroes and war glorifiers Ia doubtless
at the bottom of this uncalled-for ex-
hibition Of the Old Liberty Bell at
Chicago. The whole thing is In bad
taste, bad panners, bad patriotism
and, but for the characteristic folly OF
the worshippers Of war relics, we
would say, that the exhibition of the
Old Liberty Bell at the Congress Of the
nations is a silly, gratuitcus and a
vainglorious blunder. But there Is to
be-
A New BELL.
A move Is on foot to have New Lib
erty Bell cast very soon,t be composed
of gold silver, precious stones, &c. II Is
to bear with other devices the inscrip-
ton: proclaim liberty throughout
the land to all the inhabitants thereof"
Another inscription Is to be: "Glory 10
God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men," This bell is
to commorate the Worlds Fair and is
to be sent around the world to all
countries where any great patriotic
celebration IL being held. Whether 1t
is to be accompanied by the white ban.
ner Of the gospel Of peace, or the In.
signia-pomp and circumstance-of
milItarism, remains to be seen. The
home of this itinerant metal messenger
Is to be In Washington where It is to
be returned after its worldwide mission
shall have been accomplished.

Cold Chicken Pie Stew q grown
chicken until tender, putting 1t on ir
cold water. and cooking very slowly
arrange the pieces in q deep pudding
dish, laying in with them two hart
boiled eggs cut into slices; pour ovel
all cupful of the gravy, which should
be well-seasoned; cover the pie with 8
pastry crust, and bake in moderate
oven. Add to two cups of the remain
ing gravy quarter box of gelatine
soaked In q little cold water, q small
glassful of sherry, and Tablespoonful
Of vinegar; when the pie is done, pour
this gravy In through an opening
which should have been left In the
top. Make this pie the day before II
Is to be eaten. 1t is an excellent dish
for Sunday lunch or tea.
Sweetbread Pates.-Scald and blanch
pair of sweet breads; remove bits of
skin and gristle; chop rather coarsely;
and stir intoa cupful of white sauce;
season to taste. Have ready pastry
shells made hot in the oven, and I'LL
with the sweetbreads. Send very hot
to table. A few mushrooms chopped
with the sweetbreads are pleasant
addition.
School children have all heard OF
the three RS of Education Reading,
'Riting and 'Rithmetic; and their
fathers know of the three sR's OF
American politics. Most striking are
the three Great RS which the gospel
has to proclaim to the world:
Ruin by the fall.
Redemption by our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Regeneration by the spirit of life
and power.
Potatoes au Gratin.-Two cupfuls of
raw potatoes cut into dice, Half cup OF
fine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoonful
butter. Let the potato dice lie In cold
water several hours, drain them, sea-
son with salt and pepper, and put
them in well creased pan; dot them
thickly with bits of butter, sprinkle
them with the crumbs, and add more
butter. Bake covered, for half an hour;
uncover, and brown.
Potato Salad.-Slice cold boiled po-
tatoes; with three cups of these mix
one sliced beet, one onion bruised,
and three Or four stalks of celery; pour
over them four table-spoonfuls of sal
ad oil and three of vinegar, with pep
per and salt to taste. Let all stand in
q cold place at least an hour before
serving.
Scrambled eggs.-Beat two eggs
lightly and add three table,
spo0nfuls of milk, salt and
pepper to taste. Turn into hot but
tered pan and icook quickly, stirring
all the time until like custard. Serve
on toast. If cooked too long or allow
ed to stand moment without stirring,
it will be dry and tough.
The life of trees is determined very
largely by climate. Actual expert
ment has shown that the English oak,
for instance, natures, and consequent
ly dies, sooner in the United States
than In England. The life Of one of
these trees across the water Is estimat-
ed to be a thousand years, and in
America but 800.
Sliced potatoes.-Cut six boiled po-
tatoes into neat slices, warm them In
d steamer, transfer to a dish, and put
on them q tablespoonful of butter and
a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Let
them stand five minutes before serv-
ing.
Roast Spanish Chestnuts. Cut a
bit off of each, and roast them in the
oven. Peel, and eat with butter and
salt.
