FADGE.

A very favorite bread made OF po-
tatoes goes by the name Of fadge. Its
manufacture is so simple that most
cooks make it by the rule of thumb
and probably the receipt has never
found it's way into any cookery book
The potatoes should be mashed as
smoothly as possible and seasoned
with salt, then they should have as
much flour well kneaded into them
as will make stiff dough that may
be handled without breaking too
easily. This should be rolled out to
thickness OF about third OF an
inch and cut into triangular or square
pieces Of convenient size. Prick each
piece here and there with a fork to
prevent it's bl1stering, and bake on a
very hot and well-tloured grlddIe.
This bread should be eaten hot and
well buttered, or it may be fried the
next morning for breakfast, when it
will make nice garnish for a dish
Of ham and eggs. Fadge is not ex-
tremely d1gest1ble, and should be
partaken OF cautiously by those who
try it for the first time.

CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST.
Death on the Cross was a Most Ter
rible Form of Torture.

''Crucitixion was a terrible DEATH"
writes Rev. Amory H. Bradford, D. D.,
in an article on The Last Week in
Christ's Life, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. cit was reserved for often
ders of servile class and never used
for Roman citizen. The hands and
feet of the victim were nailed to the
wood, and a kind Of rude seat was
provided-just enough to prevent the
weight Of the body from tearing
through the flesh. The exact spot
where Jesus was crucitied cannot now
be Identified Golgotha was probably
some skull-shaped hill outside the
city WALL Thither a strange process
sion wendell it's way-the condemned
with their crosses on their backs, the
hard-hearted rabble making fun of
them as they passed. The strength
of Jesus failed before the destination
was reached, and another was COM
PEELED to carry the cross for Him.
This crucifixion, like all others, was
cruel and barbarous in the extreme.
