Parsley Butter.

Recipe-Cream four level table
spoons of butter and add the juice of
a small lemon and a teaspoon of
minced parsley. Season with salt and
red pepper and heap in a sauce dish
or the empty half of lemon.
The value of fish in diet lies not SO
much in actual nutritiye properties as
in furnishing variety. 1t is easier of
digestion than some kinds of meat,
when in good condition and properly
cooked, also giving pleasing change
from meat occasionally. The simplest
ways Of cooking fish are always best
and prompt serving is also quite es-
sential The hsh when broiled is most
perfectly cooked, but some varieties
are too soft for this,-when baking is
the next choice.
Small fish are good fried and this
is best accomplished by drying well
after cleaning, and then rolling in sea
soned -four. A delicate crust may be
obtained by then dipping the fish in
egg slightly beaten with water (allow-
ing a tablespoon to each egg), then in
sifted bread crumbs, or corn meal, and

minister to be prophet in the pulpit
and another to be a business man
ager." With this view the Christian
Evangelist tSt. Louise expresses
agreement. 1T is not often" it says,
that the prophetic and the com
mercial temperaments are so united
in one man that he can do all the worl,
that is demanded by church which
takes upon itself the functions of a
board of charities, an educational
commission, and a society for social
betterment. But that does not prove
that the instituted church is unde-
sirable or impracticable. 1t only
proves that the church needs to call
into its service more consecrated bust
ness managers, so that the born
prophets may not fall into disrepute
on account of their inability to serve
tables"

frying in very hot fat Drain quickly
on soft paper and serve very hot
Boiling is the poorest method of
cooking, as it is so wasteful, and
steaming is much more satisfactory
1t is also economical when using an
oil stove, for one burner will cook po-
tatoes and fish at the same time, set
ting steamer containing fish Qaid in a
piece of cheese cloth so that it may be
lifted without breaking) over the ket-
tie in which potatoes are to boil A
three-pound fish will steam in half an
hour. A milk gravy. with two or
three chopped, hard-cooked eggs, is
most suitable to serve with this COM
bination.
However fish is to be cooked, it
should be carefully and quickly
cleaned, - never left to soak in water,
and must be promptly dried after
washing. The less time wasted be
tween the catching of the fish and its
serving, the better. Overlooked fish
is neither wholesome nor palatable.
As some acid is usually desirable with
fish, either a sour sauce or lemon is
generally served with it.

Potatoes Einneuan.

Recipe-This homely dish is a com
bination of potatoes, carrots and
cream sauce,-made in the proportion
of quart of potato cubes, a cupful of
finely cut carrot and a pint of milk
thickened with four level tablespoons
each of butter and flour. Season with
salt, white pepper and little onion
juice, if liked. Mix all thoroughly and
serve very hot. Chopped parsley
sprinkled over the top improves the
appearance.
Potatoes form so large a part of our
diet that it is well to know how to pre-
pare them in a variety of ways. When
baked, potato if good in the first
place, is about as perfect as it can
be,-provided it can be served just as
soon as it is done. If allowed to
stand, it becomes heavy and soggy, in
stead of light and mealy. although it
is of some advantage to roll the pota-
toes lightly and break the skin, if they
have to stand before serving.
In boiling, it is economy to cook the
potatoes in their jackets, as there is
nc waste in food value as when pared
If the skin is removed first, the po-
tato should be boiled at once or there
is still greater loss. To pee, End then
leave in cold water for several hours,
is sometimes a convenient way, but
should not be generally practiced as it
is very wasteful. If potatoes are
promptly and thoroughly drained
when done, they are more light and
digestible than if allowed to become
water soaked.
For the Finnegan potatoes, either
the freshly cooked or cold vegetables
may be used. Carrots are best cooked
whole in just as little water as can be
used, otherwise we lose in food value
and flavor.
The combination given here is
good one and the white of the sauce,
yellow of the carrot, and bit of green
parsley, gives a dish that is very APP
petizing in appearance. dreamed car
rots also are simple and excellent.

A FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.

The intense enthusiasm of the south
in favor of the interoceanic Panama
canal has been taken advantage of by
the Atlanta Constitution for the pur-
pose of reviving the question of a
Florida ship canal. Twenty-Five years
ago there was a lively agitation of
this project, and it even went so far
that $4,000 was appropriated for a
preliminary survey Ne route. The
army officer who ,harge of the
survey reported canal fom st.
Marks, in Florida, - st. Marys, in
Georgia, was a perfectly feasible
proposition, and one that would con-
fer great advantages on Europeon and
American coastwise commerce.
In recalling the scheme to the pres
ent generation the Constitution points
out that canal across the northern
part of Florida and the southeastern
part of Georgia, connecting the At
lantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico,
would save 497 miles of travel and
twelve hours time in the delivery of
freights between New York and New
Orleans In the matter of actual
saving to shipowners, mention is
made of the dangers of wreckage in
the Florida straits, amounting to $780,
600 a year, and of a lessening in the
cost of operating vessels averaging
$500 per trip.
1t is announced that an earnest eff
fort will be made to arouse the south
ern members of congress to an active
interest in new survey, looking to
the carrying out of the project, in
augurated quarter of a century ago,
and since then practically forgotten.
Fifty million dollars, it is believed,
would build the canal, and it is argued
congress would appropriate the
amount without question when the
exactly feasible route is found.

A design for a new two-cent stamp
to succeed the flag" stamp, has been
accepted. The distinguishing features
of difference in the present stamp and
the new design lie in the improved
picture Of Washington, and the aban-
donment Of the flags and substitution
of great shield therefor. The new
design contains the portrait of Wash
iDgton, Of the Stuart type. The frame
or background OF the design comprises
the blue field, with stars In white. In
stead of 10 stars, there are only four
fully visible, although three points OF
as many stars may be seen peeping out
from behind the letters, United States

Recipe-All cereals require thorough
cooking and double boiler is Beces-
sary to do this properly. Water
should be boiling when the cereal is
added and a level teaspoon Of salt to
one quart of water is about the right
proportion for cup and half OF
cereal, varying somewhat according to

Apple Pie.

Recipe-Cut firm, tart apples into
quarters and simmer for few min
utes, allowing half a cup of water and
a cup OF sugar for quart of apples.
The time required viii depend upon
the fruit, and if this is not well
favored little lemon juice may be
added,-also spice as desired. Make
pie crust in proportion of Gre cup
of shortening to three of sifted flour,
adding a little salt and cold water to
make a firm dough. Roll and fold,
and place loosely in the pie tin, add
the fruit with few pieces of butter
and cover with upper crust, pressing
edges we'll together after wetting.
Bake in a hot oven.
In the first place, in making pastry
it is necessary to have the right kind
of -four to have the best success.
Winter wheat flour is best for either
cake or pastry. Many housekeepers
do net use it, but it is preferable to
the regular bread flour, being more
delicate For bread making We find
spring wheat flour far more satisfac-
tory than any other, because of the
large amount of gluten in it, which
means more nutriment for US. Good
bread flour is never very white, and
it should be of such a texture as to
feel granny or sandy when rubbed be-
tween the fingers, while, on the other
hand, pastry flour is white, smooth
and scft,-more like corn starch.
Possibly this method of making pie
crust nay seem troublesome, but re
suits are so satisfactory that it is
really worth the few extra minutes
required. One of the important things
is to handle the crust as lightly as
possible, for the warmth of the fingers
softens the shortening, making it less
delicate. That is why we cut it in
with knife instead of rubbing with
the fingers.
If large quantity of crust is to be
made, it is well to prepare it in a
chopping bowl instead OF on the board
as it will save time in the mixing. In
warm weather, use fee water, and if
the crust be prepared an hour OF SO
before baking, to allow time for
thorough chilling, it will be much bet
ter. Pastry may be kept over sew
eTal days, if necessary, if closely COW
cred and put in cold place. When
ready for baking, the oven should be
very hot, that the crust will brown
quickly instead of melting the short
ening. For shortening today | am
using part butter and part lard. Lard
makes the pie crust more tender than
that made wholly with butter, and
butter makes the crust fiaky, but when
used alone it is apt to be tough, SO it
is well to use part of each,-the but
ter for crispness and flavor and the
lard for whiteness and tenderness, il
one does not object to the flavor OF
lard. Some of the vegetable fats now
on the market are very satisfactory
and much more Wholesome than lard

White Fish with Parsley Butter.

Recipe-If white fish be used, it
may be split open and boned, then
spread with soft butter and dredge
with -four, salt and pepper Bake in
a hot oven from twenty to thirty min
utes, according to thickness of fish.
and serve promptly with slices OF
lemon or an acid sauce.

penominational journalism.

At the recent Unitarian conference
held in Atlantic City the publisher
of the Christian Register, the denom-
national organ of the Unitarian
church. declared that S40,0 had been
sunk in that paper in five years, as
we'll as $4,000 for special purposes.
He also declared that today nearly. if
not all, UNCONVENTIONAL periodicals are
supported to a greater or less extent
by the missionary funds of the diff
ferent denominations
The American Hebrew, commenting
on this item of the official report OF
the conference proceedings, thinks
that "the decline in religion and the
greater attention now being paid to
religious matters by the secular press
were largely responsible for religious
journalism being played out. 3"
| The Philadelphia Presbyterian, how
ever thinks that the moral to be
drawn from existing facts is not that
religious journalism has failed, but
that liberalism has been found
wanting.

RELIGIOUS Denominations.

The eleventh census of the United
States showed 14S religious denomina-
lions, many of which differ only in
name. 1t has been estimated by COM
petent authority that without a single
change in doctrine or polity the seven
teen Methodist bodies could be re-
duced to fear; the twelve Presby-
terrain to three; the twelve Mennonite
TO TWO, and so on. The differences in
many cases are only sectional or his
torical The slavery question was
the cause of not few divisions, and
matters of discipline were responsible
for large number. Arranging the
denominations in groups or families
and counting as one family each the
twelve Mennonite, the seventeen Meth
odist, the thirteen Baptist bodies, and
so on we have, instead of 143 only
forty-two titles. In other words, If
there could be a consolidation of each
denominational group, the reproach of
our division would be largely taken
away.

Shams React Upon Truth.

Rev. Edwin Whittier Caswell of
New York city, in recent sermon re-
ferred in this trenchment manner to
Alexander Dowie's mission: I'VE are
still living in credulous and super
stitious age said he, thousands de-
light to be humbugged by Mormonism,
spiritualism, Theosophyism, Chris
tian scienceism, and now by Dowie-
ism. Dowieism differs from Mormon
ism in one respect-immoraltie are
not advocated or allowed. Dowie
fights tobacco, drink, drugs, and the
devil. Dowie advocates purity Of
life, and has no doubt accomplished
much good, as other false prophets
have done who embrace some truths
with which to float their errors. But
all shams react upon the truth with
terrible effect" We do not accuse
Elijah H." of consciously shamming.
but the cause he represents is in great
part a delusion.

scrlptural knowledge of Students.

Chancellor McCracken of the New
York university, at the formal open
ing Of that institution recently, en-
tered a plea for a certain amount OF
seriptural knowledge as an entrance
requirement for college students He
expressed a desire that all should
know by heart the ten command
ments, the sermon on the mount,
church catechism of some kind, and
a score of scripture Psalms and best
classic hymns" The Episcopal Re
corder reformed Episcopal, Phila-
delphia) says: These brave words
have. of course. raised considerable
discussion, and have called forth the
hearty Endorsement Of some of the
leading religious journals, as also of
several educators of the front rank.
We wish IL were possible for such
demand to be successfully made.
There seems no reason why such re-
qurements should not be exacted Of
students entering colleges supported
by any religious denomination,
though such requirements could not
obtain in any institution supported
by taxation. We have to see the day
when Chancellor McCracken's words
will bear fruit, and until such time
the matter should be strongly urged
upon the minds and hearts Of all
parents who are interested in the
highest well-being of their children.
Why not let a beginning be made by
parents and children together learn
ing these things?

"Let the Sermon ne Yours"

In his inaugural address,, delivered
by the new president of Princeton
Theological seminary, with fine scorn
DR.. Patton alluded TO the sorrowful
efforts of those whose dependence
is chiefly on a dictionary of illustra-
tons. and who can build no sermon
for themselves out of their own ex-
perience. He declared that the man
who comes close up to the sources of
all inspiration in the word of God and
who lives near to God himself, not
only may be a preacher of command
ing ability, but can not help becoming
such a preacher. DIR. Patton's cul-
minating thought in this direction
seemed to express itself in the mem
orable epigram: Let the sermon be
yours-and let it be you!"
The Pan-American Episcopacy.
Writing of the recent meeting of
the Anglican bishops of the United
States, Canada, and the West Indies
at Washington, d. c., the Canadian
Churchman says: I'VE are jealous
OF anything tnaJ VIII increase Amerl-
can influence here, or that will in any
way tend to the Americanization of
our church or country. The church
in Canada can only act through its
synods, and we would like to know
more of what is aimed at by this con-
ference before committing ourselves
to the wisdom or necessity C its as
, sembling. We have every confidence
in our bishops, but so far the public
have not been much enlightened as to
what the conference proposes to ac-
complish, or what good is anticipated
from it. 1t may promote interna-
. tional amity, but hitherto American
amity has only been purchased by
the surrender of British interests and
the sacrifice of Canadian territory. 1t
occurs to some that friendliness that
can only be maintained by yielding to
unreasonable demands costs too much
and is not worth having"
