THE OLD TEsTAMENT-wHAT IS TT

What is the Old Testament? 1t is the
entire body Of Hebrew literature, theolo-
gy, philosophy, history, fiction and po-
etry, including the poetry of love as well
as that of religion. We nave bound it
all up together as a single book, and
bound up that book with the New Tesla
ment, as though the religion of the two
were the same and the slaughter of the
Ca~naanites or the massacre of the day
Of PErim were a step towards Christian
brotherhood and the Sermon On the
Mount. We have forcibly turned Hebrew
into a sort of cryptogram of
Christianity. The love-song called The
Song of Solomon has been turned into
a cryptogrammic description of the union
of Christ with His Church. A certain
divine. when his advice was asked about
the method of reading the Scriptures,
used to say that his method was to be-
gin at the beginning and read to the
end; so tina he would spend three hours
at least on the Old Testament for one
that he spent on the New, and would
read the list of the Dukes of Edom as
often as he read the Sermon on the
Mount. The first step towards q rational
appreciation of the Old Testament is to
break up the volume, separate the acts
of Joshua or Jehu from the teachings of
Jesus, and the different books of the Old
Testament form each other.-North

BED DECORATIONS.
DID UIUUIiH
Marseil1es preads Though
in Vogue Have Many
Modern Rivals.
MRS. BRoWNING's MEMORIAL
For a Home Junch-Pretty Novelty
in Embroidery-A Mammoth
Mirror.
MRS. BROWNING's MEMORIAL

The o1dlfashaored Marseilles spread,
cumbersome to handle and heavy for
the laundress, will never quite go uot of
ogue. It is rich-looking and durable.
But to h-ousekeepers who bike novelty
and variety. there are many other ma
terials more delicate and reined-look-
ing than Marseilles. says the Phila-
delphia Press.
When the house mistress has time
and taste for needlework she is apt to
make one or two speads for herself.
A linen sheet. neither too fine nor too
heavy. is taken as the basis. If she
has leisure she divides the whole,
or merely the border, into large squares
or paraHeiograms, by drawing out
threads in the manner so much in vogue
among Spanish danes. These she
works over with linen thread by merely
twisting three or four threads over as
many others. If she desires finer work
she uses Asiastic rope silk. of color to
suit the bed chamber. A serviceabie
silk, handsome when finished and har-
monizing with all colors, is the black
Roman floss or the Asiatic rope silk.
A less dainty effect may be a by
working each square or oblong with
heavy red. or Iii cotton. The black
silk on the white, however, will never
wear out. and will look well anywhere.
A novel plan will be to enbroider each
section with a design dlnerent from the
others. each one must be quaint and
all nus be of nearly the same size,
thus giving play TO the taste and fancy
of the needle-woman The effect will
be much better than to have a floral
pattern stamped in the usual hackneyed
manner.
Where the drawn work is too weari-
some, the sections can be separated by
briar or feather stitching. If the centre
is left to be marked with a larger and
more snowy design thar the bordering.
the effect will be handsomer than it will
be to have the entire spread evenly di-
vided.
Another and less tedious way is to
mark a vine about the edge, by means
of a plate. laid down this way and that,
so that the marking turns on either side
of it. From this. with a soft lead PEN
Gil, mark a conventional vine, with ten
drills or leaflets, partly stiff and partly
curved. This wreath enc1rcles the edge
of the ~couvre-let, and 1T should be mark
ed in stem or outline stitch, with the
blank Roman floss or Asiatic rope silk;
Bolton sheeting or dull-colored denim
may be wrought in Asiatic silk or coarse
cotton or linen. The design must be
large and snowy, either in the faint like
ness of flowers. in scrolls, or In geometric
designs. The work is rapidly done, eff
festive, and will launder well,
while it lasts a long time. The
spread should be long enough to
cover the bolster that takes the
place of pillows. Sometimes, when
used on brass or iron beds, it is wide
enough to hang over the sides, and h
is trimmed about the entire edge with
lace or fringe. /.
The old STYLE Of Nottingham lace, lined
with colored cambrlc, is out of vogue.
Cheap lace has received a style tina IN
the beginning, had little to recommend

FOR A HOME LUNCH
Toothsome Things to BE Prepared i'm
In Ohafing Dish.

"A pretty home lunch given by a young
girl may have the principal items pre-
pared in the chafng dish. The lunch
might begin with bouillon, served in
cups. This, of course, should have been
made in the Kitchen. The first dish cook
ed on the table may be panned oysters
or CLAIMS, served on toast. After this
the young hostess may broil lamb chops
or cook a dish of lobster or of creamed
chicken, and with this a vegetable should
be served. Says "Harper's Round Taffe.n
Should she desire, there may be a chat
ing dish at each end of he table, and
white she prepares the meat dish her
vis-a-vis may curry tomatoes or cream
potatoes or saute green peas.
After this may come q cheese fondu.
This is a mild and comparatively harm
less form of Welsh rarebit and is cook

over boiling water. To make 1t put in
a cupful Of milk. a tablespoonful of but

red pepper. Let all cook together, stir

the ingredients well blended, Have
ready two eggs beaten light and stir
these in very slowly. Cook two min
utes after they go IN and serve.
A chatting dish need not be an expen-
sive luxury. Those made of nickel are
excellent and cost from So to S. apiece.
Still cheaper dishes are made of agate
iron and of block tin and serve their
purpose well.-Phtlade1phia Press. 8

LINooLN's FIRST VOTE

Lincoln's first vote was cast at New
Salem, sin the Clary's Grove precinct"
August /, 1881. At this election he aided
Mr.. Graham, who was one of the clerks.
In the early days in Illinois, elections
were conducted by the viva voce method.
The people did try voting by ballot. but
the experiment was unpopular. 1t re-
quired too much t'book larnin," n in
1929 the viva voce' method of voting
was restored. The Judges and clerks sat
at a table with the poll-book before
them. The voter walke UP and an
nounced the candidate of his choice, and
it was recorded in his presence. There
was no ticket peddling, and ballot-box
stuffing was impossible. To this simple
system we are indebted for the record of
Lincoln's first vote. Lincoln's
first vote for President was not cast until
the next year November 5, 1892, when he
voted for Henry Clay.-McClure's Maya

THE PET DOG NUISANCE.

What society woman is not familiar
with the pet dog nuisance? One makes a
call, is admitted. to be greeted by the
threatening snarls of a large dog, short
quick yelps of several b~eribboned small
dogs and the Showls of a spoiled mid
dle-sized one. AS y nervously draw
back and tremble, a maid may probably
appear who, while looking reproachfully
at you, reproves in a tender tone the
family pets. Several r~eprimanding tones
from unseen persons finally pacify the
restless animals, who, concluding that
you are a legitimate person, resort to an
other extreme, and shower unwelcome
caresses upon you to the damage of your
f~rreproachable costume. One might over
look such instances in a tenement, but in
well bred families it is to be deplored.-
