you are sure to get lot of the essential

best way to get the juice from a lemon
is to roll it till it is soft, then cut off the
end and insert silver knife and scrape
the pulp out into the dish. That way
you get all the good of the lemon and
none of the bad. Roll 1t under your
hand on a hard table or put the lemon
down on the floor and roll it lightly un-

The seeds will make the juice very bit

grasp OF the human mind as the innnie reason
for the existence Of everything that appeared in
the universe. Even the pagan philosophers Of
old acknowledged the necessity OF Supreme
Being. 1t is mmateral by what name he is
called. for he has different appellations in dif-
ferent tongues. Some wish to call him nature,
but he is. indeed. the author OF nature. The
heavens narrate his wonders. and the PAYERS
thereof proclaim his glory. He is the infinite
First Cause Of all things. He alone is supremely
Independent, for he needs nothing but every
thing In creation depends on him. He existed
by himself long ages before the world began
and he will exist by himself when the uni
verse has disappeared. He is wisdom. power,
beauty, Justice, goodness and charity itself.
Nay. every existence every perfection and every
thing in nature have their source in His in
finite essence. And he is the author, beginning
and end OF all. II It be permitted to use such
expression. he Is the author OF himself.
All praise and glory to him Let man rail at
those who abuse the gifts OF God but not at
God. Let the disconnected find the true cause
OF their misery. and uproot 1t, II they will; but
God is not the author OF evil, Off his whole

1T NEEDS EXAMINATION.

It is said that the Republican ma

will submit the canal article and the
apportlonment article to the people
separately and the remainder of the
amended Constitution as whole.
There was strong partisan opposi-
ton to the submission of the appor-
tlonment article as "A separate section,
on the ground that this Is just what the
Democrats desire 1t IL believed that
the fragrant unfalrness of the appor-

the caucus decided to let 1t stand alone,

And such be your fear that nothing will aid

And cut out your heart for fear 1t nigh. fail

And cut out your lungs for fear Of consumption:

BREAKFAST.
Care of the Feet.

If the skin Is hard on the soles or heels
it may be softened by repeated soakings
in hot water and the wearing Of soft
stockings and shoes. To keep the feet In
good condition they must, of course, be
washed every day in tepid water. Then
they should be gently massaged and
rubbed with good toilet water. The nails
should be cut level with the toes. but no
shorter. Shoes toe short or too tight and
shoes too long or too wide all produce
corns. Hard leather also rubs against
and hardens the skin. So do "darns'' Of
any dimensions in stockings. 1t is nee.
essary to wear smooth stockings and
easy-fitting boots, with low heels. to OBJ
tain and retain a well-shaped foot.
