Mrs. Rebekah Kohut, Of New York
read an interesting paper on par
entail Reverence as Taught in Hebrew
Homes"
To be a mother, she said, was a
crown OF a Jewish Wife's life. Sol
ONION sang Of the Jewish mother, and
a beautiful picture Of the Virgin
Mother and child was drawn ia the
Scriptures. Honor thy father and
thy mother" was one OF the precepts
Of the decalogue, and a Hebrew child
was also taught, Fear thy father and
thy mother"
THE child has three friends-God,
the father, and the mother, said the
rabbi. For a time, TO the child the
father was a representation OF God.
This was OF pious value to the child.
The Jewish prayer-book prominently
included the honoring Of the father.
The questions which were sent u the
platform aud discussed by the audi
ence as well as the speakers on the
regular program showed the under
current Of inquiry and often OF con
victions which was generated by the
addresses.
The early morning conferences con-
Quoted by Miss Frances Newton, OF
Chicago, were a most valuable feature
Of the congress. The subjects which
interested the earnest women who
were making the pilgrimage to the
congress in order TO take back the
help to those not so fortunate, were
too many and vast to be handled in
the general program. Two confer
ences were held simultaneously,
Thursday and Friday morning., each
presided over by an able leader. A
complete account OF these discussions
will appear in the printed report OF
the congress. In order TO secure a
copy Of same, register your name and
address with the secretary, at 1899

THE BAKED BANANA.
Much is said from time TO time
about the banana as an article Of diet,
and usually for every person who COM
mends IL there are two who raise their
voices in warning, claiming that as
they are sold ia u Northern markets
they are, in a raw state, very indiges-
tible. A recent writer, however, has
contributed some valuable facts anent
their h~ealthfulness when baked, and
claims that three bananas weighing
one pound are equal In n~ourishment
to twenty-six pounds Of bread. They
should be baked from fifteen TO twenty
minutes, till Quilted soft and the skin
bursts open. The pros and cons are
thus set forth by this new advocate:
Baked bananas are the ideal food for
nervous persons and enaemics, also
