How Helen Demonstrated :"

 Since Lillian Russell became Chris tian Scientist, under the tutelage of her last matrimonial experiment. Peru gini. she has gradually introduced the various members of her family into tn fold, which, by the by, Is the First Church of Christ, Scientist, on West Forty-eighth Street, under Mrs. Au- gusta Stetson.
 It has remained for Miss Rasslls niece and namesake, little Helen Ross (the fair Lillian is still known as Nell in the home circle), to give the most pronounced proof of superiority to the flesh that the connection has yet af- forded.
 It was during the smallpox scare. and Helen reported to her mother that all the children in school were to be vaccinated.
 "Of coudse, am c. S. infant" she said, "and cannot do it."
 But Mrs. Ross. reminded her that Christian Scientists must obey the law and cautioned her to submit.
 On the day set for vaccination Helen returned from school radiant. She was unharmed.
 "They vaccinated the others." she ex- plained but just demonstrated and demonstrated. and of course they couldn't touch me-"
 The doctors had discovered that her baby vaccination mark was still too fresh to need repetition.

 The Most Magnificent Temple.

Have you read or the IaJ Manal, In India, in some respects the most majestic building on earth? Twenty thousand men were twenty years in building it. It cost about $16,00 ,0O0. The walls are of marble inlaid with carnelian from Bagdad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper from the Punjab and amethyst from Persia and al Imam ner of precious stones. A traveller ssi i'd that 1t seemd to him like the shin- ing of the enchanted castle of burn ished silxver The walls are 245 feet high. and from the top of these springs a dome thirty more feet high. that dome containing the most wonderful echo the world has ever known. so that ever and anon travellers standing below with flutes and drums and harps are testing that echo. and the sounds from below strike up, and then come down. as it were, the voices of angles all around about he building. There is around it a garden of tamarind and banyan and palm and all the floral glories of the ransacked earth. But that is only a tomb of a dead empress and it is tame compared with the grandeurs which God has builded fol your living and immortal spirit.
 Oh, home of the blessed! Founda- tions of gold. Arches of victoy! Cap stones of paise. And dome in which there are echoing the halleluiahS of the ages! And around about that mansion is a garden, the garden of God and all the springing fountains are bottled tears of the church In the wilderness and all the crimson of the flowers is the deep hue that was caught up from the carnage of earthly martyrdoms and the fragrance is the prayer of all the saints and the aroma puts into utter forgetfulness the cassia and the spike nard and the franincense and the world renowned spices which Queen Balkis of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King Solomon.
 When shall these eyes thy heaven built
 walls
 And pearly gates behold,
 Thy bulwarks. with salvation strong,
 Ana etrets of shining gold?
 Through obduracy on our part and through the rejection of that Christ who makes heaven possible I wonder if any of us will miss that spectacle? The queen of the south will rise up in judg ment against this generation and con demn 1t because she came from the uttsrmost parts of the earth to hear

The following Is the recipe OF the ia
nous John Chamberlin Of Washington
for boiling ham:
ITO boil q ham Ia Chamberlin, the
night before put the ham In tub Of
cold water, fieshy part downward, skin
part up. Next morning put the ham in
a large kettle or pot Of cold water to
boil. Let the water get hot gradually
and continue 10 cook the ham In q slow
boil. scarcely more than simmer. At
the end Of ave hours take the ham out,
throw the water out Of the pot and all
It with fresh cold water. Put the ham
back Immediately and let II simmer or
boil slowly five hours more. Then add,
according to the size Of your purse,
gallon Of vinegar or a gallon OF claret
or burgundy or champagne; then SIM
mer or boil for three hours more. Then
take the ham OF, skin 1t and put In n
cool place. Next morning trim 1t and
eat when you are ready.
ITO prevent the ham from tearing or
the water suddenly boiling too fast it
k always safe to sew piece OF cotton
cloth tightly around the ham so as TO
fit as close as a glove. This will keep
the meat firm and guard against the
neglect of the cook In letting the water
boil too fast."-New York Herald.
