White ribboners here were glad to hear
from Frances E. Willard union in last
weeks AMERICAN.
Rev. Harry Hill preached a fine temper
ance sermon at the church here on Sun
day. He began by saying that he did not
expect to give new ideas on the temper
ance question, but as he proceeded he
proved that he could clothe his ideas,
whether old or new. with language fitting
and interesting. He alluded to the worm
out plea for anti-prohibition that the laws
were not enforced, but gave as the result
of his own observation that where license
laws were the rule, they were no better
enforced, il as well, as the prohibition
laws. Educate public sentiment, begin
with the young, agitate the subject and
keep 1t before the public, these were some
Of his points.
Now that the convention Is over and the
new convention year begun, would 1t not
be good plan for each union to make
some definite plan OF work for the future?
The union here has started in on some
flower mission work for the present, and
later on may take up other plans. At
Stonington a good beginning has been
made in the school savings bank depart
ment, and the children are quite inter-
ested, and some OF the parents as well.
As to enforcement Of law, we hope the
new county officers are on the right side,
but deeds will speak louder than words.
As old Uncle Charlie Brown once said
OF a young convert in his prayers: 1--WE
thank thee, o Lord, for our young broth
er's good testimony; we hope he will
practice what he breaches; we hope well,
but we don't know, o Lord"

Napoleon was filed with fury at his
brother for the results of Vittoria. but he
instructed bis ministers 10 say that "a
somewhat brisk engagement with the
English took place at Vittoria in which
both sides lost equally. The French ar
mics. however. carried out the movements
In which they were engaged. but the
enemy seized about 100 guns which
were left without teams at Fittoria. and
IL is these that the English are trying to
pass off as artillery captured on the bat
tiefeld."
One of the most important captures of
the battle was mass of documents from
the archives of Madrid. including a
great part Of Napoleon's secret CORE
spondence-an invaluable addition to his
tory.
Napier's summing up Of the results OF
the battle reads:
"Joseph's reign was over; the crown
had fallen from his head And, after
years of tolls and combats. which had
been rather admired than understood, the
English general. emerging from the chaos
OF the peninsula struggle. stood on the
summit of the Pyrenees n recognized con-
qneror. From these lofty pinnacles the
clangor of his trumpets pealed clear and
loud. and the spIendor of his genius APP

Body and Soul.

The mans constitution, body and
soul are wonderfully united. In the
fall both came under the power Of sin
and death. In redemption deliverance
has been provided for both. He that
believes with the heart comes with the
body to be baptized. 1t Is Il token that
the whole exterior physical life Is to be
his too. We need to be on the watch
lest the pursuit Of the inner life leads
us to neglect the external A heart
sprinkled with blood. a body washed
with pure water from every stain,
these God has Joined together. Let no
man separate them. Our body is very
specially the temple Of the Holy Spirit.
In the body the Father is to be glori-
fed. Like Christ. we must yield our
body with every member. every power.
every action. to fulfill His will. to be
offered up to Him, to glorify Him.
Through the body satan conquered in
paradise. In the body he tempted
Christ Our eating and drinking. our
sleeping. our clothing. our labor and
relaxation. these things have more in
fuence on our spiritual life than we
know.-Andrew Murray.

| have enjoyed the many suggestions given by
| friends and Aunt Madge. The following recipe
| from an old book written in 1850 was found
| excellent:
| GRASDMoTHER's PUDDING.
| In one pint of purest drink,
Let one teacup of clean rice sink,
| And boil till all the waters gone
No matter where. Stir with spoon,
| And deity add of milk one quart.
| Boil Till IL thickens as 1t ought.
Stirring IL with the aforesaid spoon,

Then aud three eggs yoiks beaten light,
One lemon ripd all grated right,
And Of W hite sugar, well refined,
| Eight spoons, by stirring thus combined.
Now pour the mixture In dish
| Or any size that you may wish,
| And let II stand, while with fork,
You beat the " hites as Liz ht as cork
| The whites of the three eggs mean;
And when they re beaten sliff and clean,
Add eight spooDtuis of sugar light,
| And put The frothtng nice and white
Upon your pudding ike a cover
| BE sure GU spread ii nicely over.
| In II cool oven let II brown
| We think the pudding will go down.
Also recipe for filling for layer cake is ex-

| Put a cupful of sugar into a tin basin with
| enough water TO dissolve 1t Let il boil until il
will harden in cold water. Have one cupful OF
stoned raisins chopped we'll. Beat the white of

TOKENS.

TOKENS.
The fragrance ofsa faded flower
That died long, long ago,
Brings memories of kindly word
Spoken SO soft and low.
The signing of the evening wind,
The rustic of IA tree.
Recalls the pressure of a hand
That meant SO much to me.
These bygone tokens, half forgot
In our hard workday strife,
By some magician's eerie touch
Spring into sudden life.
And swiftly bear US back again,
Into the bygone years,
And cause US hany lonely sigh
And dim the eye with tears.
