Carrots.

As a rule carrots are not treated re-
spectfuay either by cook or diners. Yet
they are wholesome vegetable capapie
| they but fall into clever hands. n
! \ few recipes to this end may be of SER
| vice to the housewife. who Is often hard
pressed for variety even in preparing ner
vegetables and salad for her simple dln.s
| ner. and who heretofore has only thought
of carrots as the golden slice in q vege-
able soup, or accompaniment Of q PIN
bone stew -t+E
One method of preparing carrots y in
this wise: Take TWO punches OF small car
rots and plunge them into boiling water
for five minutes; then rub the outer peel
on with clean cloth. This II considered
a better way than scraping them. C0t on
the green tops and cut che carrots into
thin slices. Put in saucepan three
ounces of butter. two tabiespooniuls OF
water. a saltspoonful of salt. little pep.

and stew slowly for thirty minutes.
Meanwhile beat light The yolk Of two
eggs. and add to them ha,f a cup o,
cream and one tablespoonful OF -cnoppee,

Does a Chinaman ever get "broke?''
Aguinaltlo is playing Luzon game.
Toll is rest for the man weary of doing
nothing.
Every failure is valuable in teaching
men how to do things
The insurgents have rifled Manila, but
they were TOO far off to hit It,
1t is probable that it would not require
so much time for the Chinese to rat-ify a
treaty.
He who makes a mistake often does
more for his fellows than he who does
nothing.
Success hardly ever recognizes man
who never does anything to attract its at
tention. IL A. W. Bulletin

And fancy its smiles are all shed

The birds with their songs of delight
Are waking the morning with glee,
And they re singing-I fancy I'm right
For thee, little sweetheart. for theel
The roses that grow at thy door,

FOrl mn Worship.

Form Worship.
There was a saint--so runs a legend old
a holy man of God, who day by day
Toiled for the flock within his little fold
And led his people in the narrow way.
Although they did not fully understand
his words of wisdom and his fervent prayers,
They loved and reverenced him throughout
the land
And sought his counsel when weighed down
with cares
1t came to pass that one night as he dreamed
He saw a glorious vision in the skies,
Three bars of sunlight round about him
beamed,
And written on them. just before his eyes.
We're all the truths of God so long concealed
From human beings-truths for which his
soul
For years had yearned in vain were now re-
vealed.
He read and, waking, wrote them on a scroll
Next night message came. 80 saint, prepare
To teach the world the truths which thou
hast read" S.
The days he spent in fasting and in prayer;
Then. calling all his people to him, said:
Brethren, / go away, but leave with you
The precious truths of God revealed to me
And written on this parchment. Read 1t
through;
Live by it, brethren it will make you free.
For MANY years this saint, this holy man,
Journeyed and taught. nor rested day nor
night,
And thousands who had been beneath the ban
OF ignorance and doubt received the light.
At last with faltering step and palsied hand
Which told of earthly labors nearly done,
He turned his face again toward the land
Where all his deeds of mercy were begun
1t came to pass that as he neared the place
He saw the people PROSTATE in the dust
Before an altar. Joy illumed his face.
He said. my people worship God the Just
He nearer drew. Upon the altar lay
The roll of parchment, still securely sealed. y
His flock had worshiped it from day to day.
But searched it not for truths to him re-
vealed.
