Round about us Spring is stealing
From GalYeston's balmy shore
And there comes a sort of feeling
That we all have felt before.

To forget our cares forever

For the Housewife.

The oldfashioned boiled dinner,
which appeals to certain cultivated
tastes may be made more appetizing
by boiling the corned> beef first, let
ting the liquor cool in which it boiled,
removing all the fat from the top and
cooking the various vegetables in it
separately in different pots. An old
cook, whose corned beef is known for
it's tenderness, washes the meat thor
oughly and boils it very slowly until
it is tender. She then removes the
meat, plunges it quickly in cold water,
takes it from the bath and keeps it
in hot place until the vegetables are
cooked. A little of the liquor in which
the meat was boiled is saved, after the
fat is removed, to moisten the next
mornings hash. Equal quantities Of
meat and cold boiled potatoes chopped
together are used for the hash. Some
times green pepper freed from it's
seeds is also contributed. The hash
is Drowned deliciously in plenty of
butter.
Here is a tasty dish that utilities an
inexpensive cut of meat. Select neck
Of lamb, separate it into the natural
sections and cut the meat from the
bones. Have casserole at hand, put
into it two tablespoonful of butter and
saute in it small onion. AS soon as
the onion is a golden brown, put in
the lamb, which has been rolled in
salted and peppered flour. saute it
| until it is nicely Drowned on all sides.
Then add two large slices Of tomato,
a tablespoonful or two of minced ham
and two cups of seasoned meat stock
or hot water favored with beef ex-
tract and little kitchen bouquet.
Cover the dish tight, put it in the oven
and cook slowly for two hours. If
vegetable favoring is liked, about
twenty minutes before the dish is to
be served, diced carrot and turnip and
green peas may be contributed. Send
to the table in the casserole.

say that even if we do, we are on
our guard against it; it is not going to
shake our faith Perhaps not; still
one should not play with fire. And
even If it were absolutely certain, not
only that our faith would not be weak
ened, but that it would even be
strengthened by so doing, still the sin
of mixing ourselves up with work of
this kind would remain the same. The
real sin consists in having dealings
wantonly and needlessly with the
devil; and in these affairs there is al
ways grave danger Of this; and it is
not lawful, even though good may
come of it; we must not do evil that
good may come.
The same may be said about an
other matter; and it is one to which
Catholics are more inclined than they
are to spiritual seances, or table tip
ping. The matter to which refer is
what is known as fortune telling,
This seems to have an overpowering
fascination for great numbers of Cath
olics, as we'll as for those outside the
church.
Certainly it is possible for Al
mighty God to tell our fortunes; He
knows them; it is necessary part of
His omniscence. But can we serious.
ly believe, even for moment, that the
Lord is going to do this by means of
tea leaves or pack of cards, or any
other part Of the fortune teller's out
mt? No one surely does or can imagine
such a thing. Nor can we imagine
that the holy angels or the saints in
heaven, who share to some extent in
the knowledge of God, are going to use
such means. No; thousand times no!
If God wills to reveal anything to us,
He will do it by means Of prophets
evidently inspired by Him, or at any
rate in some way worthy of His glory
and majesty.
I'VE may then confidently say that
any real or genuine fortune telling is
the work of the devil. BY fortune tell
ing 1 mean all forecasting of the fu-
ture, which does not come from any
real scientific or expert knowledge of
the subject in general-such knowl-
edge as the astronomer, the weather
man or the Wall street man obviously
has. To try then, seriously, to ascer-
tain the future by fortune telling is i'm
plicitly to invoke the devil"

Where are the bases Of the moral law
Is not religion as an exalted way of

II knew that my children would be

II saw that time would come in

many points. Should they turn to the

it ranks with Homer, Goethe, and
