COOKING VERSUS MORALS.
Perfect Meals Are a Saving Grace II
Many Men.


Many Men.
When man does not get the stimu-
lating nourishment which his nature
Graves, he resorts to liquor to supply
the want With this fact staring one
In the face, is it not wise to teach that
unfailingly good food, with all the ele-
ments that stimulate and nourish the
body and the brain, has Its moral as
well as Its physical benefits?
There are cases on record proving
the benefits of public school cooking,
where the domestic sky has been per-
fectly cleared of clouds because good
food was offered where before 1t had
been badly cooked, and consequently
did not properly nourish. In one home
the substitution Of well cooked cup
Of cocoa for the sloppy, herby tea that
had become component part OF every
morning meal, and a nice Indian cake
or plate OF mullins for the dry bakers
loaf, began a work of reform. The
father was proud Of the daughters
skill as a cook; the mother, who had
grown careless and shiftless and In
different, was shamed by it. The con-
sequence was better provision on the
part of one or more care in preparation
on the part Of the other.
The mother was by no means above
turning to account some Of the prac-
tical knowledge the daughter had ac-
quired under such competent training,
and she began also to brush up her
own knowledge that she had carelessly
allowed to fall into disuse. The re-
suit is n happy home, q united family,

pressed upon my most indelible men,
ory. | looked down into the lurid
depths upon an incandescent lake, a
melted fire, n seething sea. The bill
lows rolled from side to side, and on
their fiery crests tossed the white skel-
eton of the suicide The heat had
burned the flesh from off the bones.
They lay as n light cork upon the melt
ed fiery waves. One skeleton hand
was raised upward, the finger pointing

stant there was a crack in the lurid
lake. 1t swelled. expanded, and the
skeleton of the suicide disappeared, to
be seen no more by mortal eye"
Here again Bonaparte rested and
then continued:
The lake of melted stone rose in the

the side; it streamed forth at the top.

rent was vomited out and streamed on

long and terrible night l stood there
alone upon that rock, the glowing fiery
lava on every hand, a monument of the
long suffering and tender providence Of
the Lord, who spared me that might
this day testify in your ears of him.
Now, my dear friends, let us deduce
the lessons that are to be learned from
this narrative.
Firstly, let us never commit suicide.
That man is a fool, my friends, that
man is insane, my friends, who would
leave this earth, my friends. Here are
joys innumerable, such as 1t hath not
entered into the heart of man to un-
derstand, my friends. Here are clothes,
my friends; here are beds, my friends;
here Is delicious food, my friends Our
precious bodies were given us to love,
to cherish. oh, let us do sol Oh, let
us never hurt them, but care for and
love them, my friends"
Every one was impressed, and Bona.
parte proceeded:
Thirdly, let us not love too much.
If that young man had not loved that
young woman, he would not have
jumped into Mount Etna. The good
men of old never did so. Was Jere-
mlah ever In love, or Ezekiel, or Hosea,
or even any of the minor prophets? No.
Then why should we be? Thousands
are rolling in that lake at this mo-
ment who would say, TT was love that
brought us here Oh, let us think al
ways of our own souls first.
"a charge to keep have,
God to glorify,
dying soul to save
And at 1t for the sky.
"Oh, beloved friends, remember the
little boy and the 'meiboss;' remember
the young girl and the young man; re-
member the lake, the fire and the
birthstone; remember the suicides
skeleton on the pitchy billows Of Mount
Etna; remember the voice Of warning
that has this day sounded in your ears.
And what l say to you 1 say to all
watch. May the Lord add his bless
ing"

In accordance with arrangements made
with me. The church was opened and

A TALE OF LIFE IN THE
BOER REPUBLIC.

But we do our best We meet to-
gether, and I-weIl, l say a few words,
and perhaps they are not wholly lost,
not quite"
Strange coincidence" said Bona
parte. "My plan always was the same.
Was in the Free State once-solitary
farm-one neighbor. Every Sunday |
called together friend and neighbor,
child and servant, and said, Rejoice
with me, that we may serve the Lord
and then | addressed them. All, those
were blessed times" said Bonaparte.
would they might return
The German stirred at the cakes, and
stirred and stirred and stirred. He
could give the stranger his bed. and
he could give the stranger his hat, and
he could give the stranger his brandy,
but his Sunday service!
After a good while he said:
al might speak to Tant' Sannie. l
might arrange You might take the
service In my place if it,
my friend" said Bonaparte, sit
would give me the profoundest felicity,
the most unbounded satisfaction, but
in these wornout habiliments, in these
deteriorated garments, ii would not be
possible, il would not be fitting, thst
should officiate in service of One who
for respect we shall not name. No,
my friend. | will remain here, and.
while you are assembling yourselves
together in the presence of the Lord, l,
in my solitude, will think of and pray
for you No; will remain here"
1t was a touching picture-the soli-
tary man there praying for them. The
German cleared his hands from the
meal and went to the chest from
which he had taken the black hat
After little careful feeling about he
produced a black cloth coat, trousers
and waistcoat, which he laid on the
table, smiling knowingly. They were
of new, shining cloth, worn twice a
year, when he went to the town to
'nachtmaal" He looked with great
pride at the coat as he unfolded 1t and
held 1t up.
ITS not the latest fashion, perhaps,
not n west end cut, not exactly, but it
might do. 1t might serve at a push.
Try it on, try it onp' he said, his old
gray eyes twinkling with pride.
Bonaparte stood up and tried on the
coat 1t fitted admirably. The waist
coat could be made to button by rip
ping up the back, and the trousers
were perfect, but below were the rag
ged boots. The German was not dis
concerted. Going to the beam where
d pair of top boots hung, he took them
Off, busted them carefully and put
them down before Bonaparte. The old
eyes now fairly brlmmed over with
sparkling enjoyment,
Il have only worn them once. They
might serve; they might be endured"
Bonaparte drew them on and stood
upright, his head almost touching the
beams The German looked at him
with profound admiration. 1t was
wonderful what n difference feathers
made in the bird.

CHATTER XVII.

In the fortnight of incessant action
that followed the mad attack Of that
starlit Sunday morning, there was no
place for Billy Gray. Sorely wounded,
yet envied by many a fellow soldier for
the glowing woros IN which the brigade
commander praised his conduct and
urged his brecet, the boy had been
carried back 70 the great reserve hos
pital at Malate. The breezy wards
were filed with sick and wounded, and
certain of the rooms of the old con-
vent once used for study aud recita-
tion had been set apart for officers
There were three cots in the one to
which they bore him, and two were al
ready occupied. Even in his pain and
weakness he could hardly suppress a
cry Of dlsmay; for there, with his arm
bandaged and IN splints his face white
from loss Of blood, lay Stanley Arm
strong. Time and again the boys heart
and conscience had rebuked him for
the estrangement that had arisen be
tween him and this man who had
proved his best friend. Time and again
he had promised himself that he would
strive to win back that friendships but

that the spell was broken-that the
old fascination had died its death. Then
IL was useless to hint at love; and in a
torrent of inpassoned words she bade
him think of all he owed ner, appealed
TO his sense of gratitude and honor,
and there, too, failed, for, admitting
all she claimed, he clumsily, haltingly,
yet honestly told heT he saw now that
il was all for an object, all done in the
hope that he might become her instru-
ment for the recovery Of those COM
promising letters; and now the fate had
delivered them into his nands he was
bound by honor and his promise-un-
heard, unspoken perhaps, but all the
same his pronise-to the dead TO give
them to Gen. Drayton.
Then rising in fury and denunciation,
she played her last trump. Trembling
from head to foot, pale with baflled pur-
pose and with growing dread, she bent
over him, both hands clnched.
"You mad fooi!" she cried, 800 you
know what can do-will do-unless
you give them to me here and now?
AS God hears me, win Gray, ! will give
that other packet to Gen. Drayton my
self and swear that Col. Canker was
right-that you were the thief he
thought you, and that l got those let
ters from YOU"
For moment she stood there, menac-
ing, at his bedside, looking Down in al
most malignant triumph on his amazed
and incredulous face; and then, with
an awful fear checking the beat of her
heart and turning her veins to ice, she
grasped at the fimsy framework that
supported the netting over the cot, and
stood swayiug and staggering, her
eyes fixed in terror on the man in the
uniform OF a colonel, who, quietly en-
tering, stood between her and the door,
two papers in his half-extended hand
man whose voice, long and too well
known, cut her 20 the very quick as she
heard, in calm and measured tone, the
words:

sons why You will do nothing Of the
/ kind. Shall l hand these to Gen. Dray.
