interesting, while its voluminous and
widely varied details may well excite
astonishment at the extent of the work
with which it deals. If there are still
land there seems to beg multitudes of
children who need a friend and pro-
tector, here certainly are agencies
which are obviously str lining every
nerve to meet the difficulties aud neces
stiles of the case. Surely society owes
a debt of gratitude to her Preventive
and Red Cross institutions The work
Of DIR. Barnardo's Homes appears
during 1894 to have gone for ward stead
lily and solidly, if not by leaps and
bounds. They have under their care
little short of 5, 1000 children Of all ages,
from babies to big youths. They dealt
with in the year no fewer than 10 1913
cases of whom 1899 were fresh appli
cations. Ninety six of the children ad
mitted were infants in arms, and fifty
two were incurabie, crippled, physically
disabled and blind, or deaf mutes. Free
lodgings wer supplied to otherwise
homeless young sweet wanderers to the
number Of IA 500. and free ratiOns to
the number of 1913 261. It is remark
able to observe that, out of a total of
children in the Homes at one
time and another during the year, only
t~wenty-four deaths occurred, which
works out at an annual death-rate of
about 81 per 1000. Seven hundred and
twenty four trained and tested boys
and girls were emigrated to the Colonies,
making a total of 1910 emigrants in
all. Oneott the most interesting features
of the report is the conclusive evidence
it furnishes of the extraordinary sue
cess which has attended the emigration
efforts Of the Homes. Not only are the
failures practically a negligeable guam
tity (about n per cent?, but the letters
which are quoted from the young col
Onists themselves testify abundantly to
the contentment which has followed
their transplantation from slumland to
the far West. Ample material is fur
nished to a reader % form his own con-
illusions in the numerous case records
and personal letters which are pub

age of a pure and delicate character
suited to smoking cars and Pussy CAT
tays. He said in a spirit of pure iocu-
larity n evening, while full of ami
NAL spirits and such things, to a
naughty major from Louisiana:
Good night! Major. Good night! W.
will not say farewell, but reservoir, as
the French have it." He meant moth
ing but on TeUOir, but the M8jor, who
was we'll bred and, therefore, yearning
for a copious Insult that he might
avenge, turned and reached for his
pistol, aiming to kill the persih ager, for
he thought that he had been called a
reservoir, meaning a tank, but in reach
ing for his pistol the Ne 0r enormously
ran his hand into a forgotten chasm in
his trowziz, and ere he could get out of
that and into his pocket, where his
great puncLuator was, the humorist,
feeling that he is thrice armed who
hath his quarrel just, had seized a large
limoges Tom and Jerry bowl, aud
when he got through with the Majors
cocoanut, it looked like the abattoir
annex of the old Bastile.
For this justifiable homicide the hu
morist was executed. When the black
cap was about to be put on, the sheriff
asked him if he had anything to say.
He stated that he had hardly ex
pected to be called upon and felt that
there we're others present who could
entertain the crowd better than he, but
he thought he could not do better per
haps than urge upon those before him
the necessity of a firm and vigorous
foreign policy. He then hitched up
his trousers, so that nothing might &C
u to mar the programme or cast a
gloom over the execution, and passed on
to that bright land where the reformed
murderer enjoys himself a whole lot.

HOUSEHOLD
OF VEAL.

Lard thIckly a cushion of veal. Place
it in the oven on a bed of vegetables.
Cover with stock and cook slowly for
two hours, then serve
BROWN SAUCE
Brown one tablespoonful of butter
and n of -four. Add to it the liquor
from the pan, which should measure a
half pint. Stir until boiling. Add a
half te~aspoonful of salt and a table
spoonful of Worcestershire sauce, and
strain it over the veal.
APPLE CHARLOTTE.
Rub the bottom aud sides of the pud-
ding dish well with butter, slice stale
bread thin aud line the dish with it.
Peel tart apples, cut in small pieces
enough to nearly fill the pan, scatter
ing bits of butter and sugar we'll
through it Soak slices of bread enough
to cover the apples, put a plate over to
keep the bread close to the apples.
Bake in a quick oven.
BACON AND LIVER STEW.
Pour boiling water over a beef or
calf liver with deep gashes, insert thin
slices Of bacon in these cuts and fasten
in with toothpicks. Have three or four
slices Of bacon in the pot over a hot
fire, frying with an onion cut fine;
when dried to a crisp put the liver in,
cover tightly, let cook about ten min
utes, turning often, then drege we'll
with -four, pour boiling water over till
the liver is covered, put on the top of
the stove where it will cook slowly.
Cook three hours; a nice brown gravy
will be done with the liver.
EASY WELSH RAREBITs
Welsh rarebiCs are tempting as we'll
as p~alatable prepared in the following
manner, and it is a form in which the
danties may be freely eaten without
danger to digestion: With a large old
naabio2 e-Ne-5 biscuit cutter cut out
the centre of as many thick slices of
bread as you care to have rarebits.
Butter each round of bread with but
ter partly melted. Sprinkle On a little
salt, and spread over with a very little
made mustard. Nov crate thickly
over the rounds fresh moist cheese,
which can be grated nicely, other au-
thorities to the contrary also the moist
cheese is better, because it melts more
rapidly and completely. Place your
rarebits on a buttered pan and put
them into a very hot oven just in time
to arrive at perfection for immediate
serving. Serve two or three to each
person on a small hot plate. Rarebits
are much more tender made this way
I than when the bread crust is left on.

IDUTIRI III AZ 1NNI ID0uNIQ


\ very interesting aud impressive
religious service Mac held this morn
any at IrinttN cbut0h, II WAS the ocs
vas,on ot the departure Of Mins lal&ale
Martin Tor the mission field Of the
southern Methodist church in CHINA.
There was remarkably good attend
..nce Of the MethodiSts OF the city gen
erallv to bid farewell to Miss Martin,
and TO unite in prayer for heaven =
blessings upon her,
DIR. Cunningham presided. Miss Mar
tin was presented TO the congregation
by Mrs. Ounninggin, the president of
the Woman's Board of the North Car
DINA Conference. Miss Martins talk
was very touching, She told, in simple
modestv, of her convictions and i'm
pulses that moved her to give her life
to the cause Of missions. Her manner
was artless and simple; a Southern
GIRL telling of her devotion to her Lord
and to her race. 1t was a tender,
beautiful narrative. a sweeter service
has been rarely held any where.
Remarks were made by DR.. Cunning
GIN. Rev. Mr.. Cole and DIR. Kilgo. At
the close of the service, large number
came forward to grasp Miss Martins
hand and to bid her God-speed.
Miss Martin is. the daughter of Rev.
J. b. Martin, an honored minister of
the North Carolina Conference.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE CRIME

Durham county is afflicted with an
other terrible crime, one of the most
inhuman in the whole category Oh
crimes-this one seeming to be with
out any motive save to crafty the
spirit of friend.
Monday about O'Clock, a colored
girl, about fifteen years old, who was
nursing for Rev. Frank Sewell, colored
administered to his two and a hall
months old baby dose of concentrate
ga lye. DR.. A. NJ. Moore was called in
and attended the infant. While the
child was still living yesterday DR.
Moore gives it as his opinion that
death is the inevitable result.
A warrant was issued against the
girl yesterday morning. She was ar
rested and committed to Jail to await
results. What could have been the
motive that prompted this foul deed
no one Seems to know. II is rumored,
however, that this is the second offense
of the kind of which she has been
guilty.

A GOOD RECORD.

That is a good record made by Capt.
". a. Wahab, but it is unprecedented by
some of his good friends that similar
record will not be kept up for the next
nine or ten years. The Durham Sun
says:
Capt. t. NJ. Wahab missed attend
ing Sunday School and preaching yes
tertiay, something he hasn't done be-
fore in nine or ten years. He has
been sick for two or three days, and
yesterday felt too unwell to leave the
house. He is a good deal better to-day
and is attending to his duties at the
factory of the Blackwell Durham To-
bacco Company. Whenever the famil-
lar face of the Captain is missed from
any meeting connected with church
work, it can be safely put down that
he is either sick or kept away by some
providential cause"

This world is full of good deeds, and
Durham is not behind the procession
in this line of work. The good and

citizens will live on and on through
time and eternity.
