MAKING OF DROP CAKES.
Used with Equally Good
Results

The term drop cakes" Is applied TO
cakes of thin batter, made If eggs,
milk and flour, whicha baked incups

jances The cakes puff up 10 great
size, and are, as the old house keepers
express e, a : slight as air" The cups
must be thick. These of stoneware,
costing about 60 cents dozen. are he
best for this purpose. Those cups are
sold by dealers in household supplies
ia Boston, and are sometimes called
Boston cups. The drop cake belongs
to New England breakfast tables as
much 5 Boston brown bread or baked
beans do to the Sunday breakfast Ia
be. says the New York Tribune.
Rye graham, the peculiar rye meal
used in Boston brown bread, makes de-
,icious drop cakes. Put cupand haf

eggs over the flour and rye meal, and

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS,

From the window Of the chapel softly
sounds an organs note,
Through the wintry Sabbath cleaning
drifting shreds Of music float.
And the quiet and the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and
It's Sunday afternoons;
When we gathered in the parlor, in tbs
parlor sti1 and grand
Where the haircloth chairs and sofas stood
arrayed, a gloomy band.
Where each queer oil portrait watched US
with countenance Of wood,
And the shells upon the whatnot in dust
less spleHdor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with the
quayer in It's tongue,
Seemed TO tremble in its fervor as the
sacred songs were sung,
As we sang the homely anthems, sang the
glad revival hymns
OF the glory of the story and the light no
sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew ever deeper and the
evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled in the
drowsy little town.
Old and young we sang the chorus and the
echoes told it Ger
In the dear familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows Of the chapel faint and
low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades before
my tear-dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy, listening hears the
night wind hum the tunes
That we sang there in the parlor on those
Sunday afternoons

DE-. LYMAN ABBOTT ia epdeavoring
to prove that the writings OF the Old
Testament are composed OF myths
poetry and tradition, and that their In
spiration or historical correctness are
assumptions-only these and nothing
more. How any man who processes to
be a believer in Christianity and an ex'
FOUNDER of it's teachings can promul-
gate such ideas ia hard to understand
as the Founder of the present religious
dispensstion was believer in the old
scriptures snd during his mission cor
roborated them-especially the portions
which have for years been so unmerci-
fully attacked. The doctor, strange TO
say, sees nothing In the prophets fore
telling the appearance Of Christ or His
mission. The Bible has stood the test
of time. Enemies in and out OF the
church have cast shafts at 1t from its pub
location. Julian the spostate supposed
he could knock the keystone from 1t,
but signally failed. Gibbon proved
equally as impotent, and as generation
follows generation belief iu the history
and inspiration Of the book becomes
universal as copies are multiplied and
read by all classes.
