Dundee Scotch Marma1ade.

Wash thoroughly fourteen large
oranges. Take half, using the larg-
est, and with a sharp knife peel thin,
taking care not to use any of the
white, pithy skin. Put into a deep
preserving kettle and add two and
half quarts cold water. Let this
stand thirty-six hours, changing the
water two or three times. The Sec
ond morning put the soaked peelings
with the last water over the fire to
cook. Peel the other seven oranges,
throwing away their skins. Slice the
whole fourteen oranges, add four
pounds granulated sugar and the
Juice of two lemons; turn into the
preserving kettle with the peelings
and simmer two hours until clear and
thick, stirring often to prevent
scorch. When partially cooled pour
into glass jars, but do not cover until
cold. This will keep for years.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
'rHE VICE OF lNTEMpERANCE,
This Should Prove to Any Reason
able Person That Liquor is q
Horrible Thing''-A Tragedy
of the "Family Entrance"

of the Family Entrance"
Is the saloon a horrible thing?"
To western city few weeks ago
pure country girl, fourteen years
old and very ignorant of city ways,
came looking for work as domestic
servant to help support her father;
she found her sister who had pre-
ceded her, and got employment, for
she was neat and handy and pretty.
On Sunday she took walk and met
some young men, friends of her Sis
ter, and upon invitation entered the
family entrance" of a saloon to
have a glass of wine; just at day
break she was carried out OF the
place drugged, debauched, insensible,
insane from rum and rape and terror,
and taken home to her mother to die
Or worse. That saloon is doing
business tonight and is as lawful as
a church.
In Railway, New Jersey, young
married woman fed on whisky by, a
medical ignoramus, to increase her
capacities for motherhood, became a
slave to drink, and at her own re-
quest was put by her devoted hus-
band in hospital for inebriates, and
in due time returned home cured
and almost too happy, the old grief
was forgotten and the little house
was heaven to the three. One morn
ing the husband starting to his work
tossed a little roll of bills to her to
pay the rent with. She thrust it in
the bosom of her dress and went on
singing about the golden streets Of
her new Jerusalem. When the work
was done she took up the baby and
walked across the city to. the land
lords. 1t was the first time her hus-
band had trusted her alone with
money. She was excited. The sa-
loon, likes the pores Of damnation,
sweat the fever of hell into her nos
trils as she hurried on. The roll OF
bills turned to a green serpent and
turned its .fangs upon her faithful
heart and .stung it numb and dead 10
love and honor, and she fell down,
down. At daylight the next day the
searching party found her in corse
of wood in the suburbs frozen and
manned for life, and lying apart,
where she had lost it in the night,
the dead baby with its fossy curls
frozen in the mud.
Why do you looked shocked at he?
I didn't do it. If had time I would
pour such stories into your ears un-
til they drove you mad, or drove you
out to hunt the saloon to the hell
that conceived it, law or no law.
The saloon is lock in the stream
of life that opens upward all day
long and fills with human craft that
have drifted from their moorings or
lost their way, and at midnight emp
ties with a rush and hiss down
stream.-F'rom Address by John G.
Woolley, LID.

An Ideal Land.

Iceland, about half the size of Mis-
souri,, has mo Jail, no penitentiary;
there is no court and only one police
man. Not a drop of alcoholic liquor
is made on the island, and it's $4,000
people are total abstainers since they
will not permit any liquor to be i'm
ported. There is not an illiterate
on the island, not child ten years
old unable to read, the system of
public schools being perfect. There
are special seminaries and colleges,
several good newspapers, and print-
ing establishment which every year
publishes a number Of excellent books
on various lines" Such is the report
brought by northern travellers of this
incompatible and ideal land.

A Boston Reform.

Boston has instituted reform
which might well be :ollowed by
other cities. The police commission
er has issued orders that hereafter
no political poster, notice, portrait or
cartoon shall be displayed in a sa-
loon. The practice has been to food
the saloons with political advertising.
During a campaign the windows have
been filled with portraits of the cam
didates and the bars decorated with
partisan literature. The new move
is a sensible attempt to keep the sa-
looms out of politics by keeping poll
tics out of saloons.-Youth's Com
panion.

Dan laughed, for he liked a good re-


turn, whether in word or blow.
Erect and with unmoved features
he felt the fatal loop Ttightens around
his throat. The6 his indifference
vanished, and the spectators saw
look of. sharp pain on his face. A
moment later came clAtter Of hoofst
and jimmy, mounted on the gam
bler's horse, dashed up. Brown and
Lupas both sprang forward.
"Whatl are, you doing here, Jinny?"
asked her stepfather. This is no
place for girl" !
I've come to- say good-by," she re-
piled, calmly. enough, thougE her
heart was beating furiously. Then,
turning to Lupas, she added, You
need not grudge him that, at least.
The tone and look which accom-
panied the words were delightful
revelation to the astonished man, and
with a glance of triumph at his ur-
fortunate rival, he stepped back.
He was rewarded with bewilder-
ing smile of gratitude, as Jimmy, lead
ing her mount, stepped up to where
the culprit was standing.
Dan" she whispered, I'm going
to cut the rope and then you must
Lump for Deuce and CO."
He looked up and she read refusal
in his eyes, He had seen her smile
at Lupas. But he did not speak.
"Not-if iftI-come with you, DAM"
she questioned, softly.
For a moment he could not believe
his ears, but then she lifted her eyes
to his in one single fash, and he
knew the truth; he had won. The
touch of her arms round his neck and
her warm breath on his cheek re-
called him.
But they'll shoot, and may hit
you," he whispered.
But his expostulation came too
late. A sharp click told that Jinny's
hand: had not encircled him useless
ly, and the rope was severed. At the
same time she released him and
stepped back pace. Life was very.
sweet now, and Dan did not hesitate.
Two bounds and he was astride his
horse, and a moment later his strong
arms had lifted jimmy up In front OF
him. The spectators, paralyzed by
the unexpectedness of the event, only
recovered their senses when the horse
bearing his double burden with the
utmost ease-was dozen yards
away. : .
Then Lupas, with wild yell Of an
ger as he realized how he had been
tricked, sprang after them, only to
stumble headlong with bullet In his
brain. 1t was his friend Brown who
had fired the shot in an attempt, as
he afterward explained, to cripple the
fugitive's mount. But as Brown was
notoriously neat shot, and the dead
man was hardly in the line of fire,
there were some who doubted. -
Late in the afternoon the minister
of small but lively mining camp
some thirty miles from Deep Hollow
earned sum equal to half his yearly
income by the performance of a sim
pie ceremony, and Dan Bevis, having
escaped from one moose, very cheer
fully surrendered himself to another.
AS he himself put it, "Matrimony was
his strong suit, and he was going his.
pile on it."-London Paper.

Banana and Strawberry Sauce.

A certain young housewife, when
unexpected campany arrived just in
time for luncheon, found to her dis
may that she did not have enough
of any one suitable sauce" or pre-
serve to serve on the table. She had,
however, four bananas and about
two cups of strawberries. She cut
the bananas in thin slices and over
them scattered about half the Der.
ries. The rest she covered with a
scant quarter of a cupful of sugar,
crushed them fine, put them in a
cheese-cloth bag and squeezed out all
the juice possible. This was then
poured over the fruit and the whole
placed on ice and kept there until
luncheon. The sauce" was pro-
nounced delicious. A quart Of ber-
ries to every four bananas is also
good proportion. Use about one
fourth as much sugar as berries

''My Peace I Give Unto You"

Jesus had a peace within which all
The mocking and scoAing the world
gave Him could not disturb. And
this same peace He has promised to
give to you. -
The world can never take this
peace from the heart that is truly
yielded to God. In the time Of most
bitter trial, deepest sorrow and when
turned down by everyone. this peace
Is ever the same.
Do you want such a peace? It can
only be had when full conservation
has been made, when you have yield
ed yourself to Him, to be used by
Him in life or death, to His glory.
1t is only a reasonable service to pre-
sent your bodies living sacrifice to
God. (See Rom. 1919 And when
you give yourself to Him. He will
give Himself and His peace to YOU

New ZeaIand-American Trade.

The Governor of New Zealand
stated in the opening of parliament
at Wellington that the promotion of
tsade with the United States and Can
ada would be one of the subjects con-
sidered during the session. The
members would also be asked to con-
s;der proposals for a renewal of the
subsidies for the San Francisco and

referred sympathetically. to the pro-
posals of reciprocity with Australia,
and expressed confidence that the
coming New Zealand exposition would
compare favorably with Old World

Misft Corn Husks.

An exchange remarks that consid-
erable trouble is being experienced
throughout Indian Territory because
the husks do not fit the corn in many
of the fields. The husks prepared
themselves for corn in dry weather.
it seems, and the recent rain has
caused the ears to grow so that two
husks will be required in the place
of one under ordinary circumstances.

Dog SMims the Channel.

A dog, which fell overheard from a
tug off Dungeness, has been picked
up at the mouth of the harbor of
Boulogne, having practically swum
from England to France. The course
taken by the dog is regarded as
showing a strong drift from Dunge-
ness to Boulogne, as otherwise the
animal could not have accomplished
it's feat. 1t is thought that men at
tempting to swim the Channel will
take the hint.

If you litsen TO all that is said as you 60;
You'll be worried and fretted, and kept in
stew.
For meddlesome tongues must have some
thing to do
And peo,le will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it pre-.

That your humble position is only assumed
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else
you're a fool;
But don't get excited-keep perfectly cool
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness

Or slight inclination to take your own
part,
They will call you an upstart, csnceited
and vain,
But keep straight ahead-don't stop to ex-
plain

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

If threadbare your dress and old-fashioned
your hat
Some one will surely take notice Of that,
And hint rather strong that you, can't pay
your way
But don't get excited whatever they say
For people will talk.
If your dress is in fashion don't think to
escape,
For they criticise them in different
shape
You're ahead of your means or your
tailor's unpaid;
But mind your own business, there s
naught to be made
For people viii talk.
Now the best way to do is to do as you
please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then
be at ease.
Of course you will meet with all sorts. Of
abuse;
But don't think to stop them-it's not any
For people will talk.

BALK AT ICY BAPTISM
Thirty-two of Forty Converts Decline
to Submit to immersion in

Special to The Herald.
ANDERSON, Ind, March 15.-Two
thousand people braved a binding
snowstorm and stood about the
Twelfth street bridge over White river
between 4 and o'clock yesterday after
noon to witness the baptizing of forty
converts of the First Methodist Episco-
pal and Gospel Mission churches of
this city When the Rev. G. c. Cissel.
who is Ex-Governor Durbin's pastor, ar
rived to conduct the dimensions, he
found the river half frozen over. He
Ventured upon the ice to find an OMEN
ing when his weight caused the ice 10
break, letting him down into nearly six
feet of water.
Disregarding the sacredness of the
gathering thousand or more bows and
men hooted and laughed at the minister
laundering in the ice hole, while MANY
women feared their minister would
drown. Unaided he got out and then
repeated his break several times i'm
order to clear a space for the baptizinp.
Finally, after being in the water
thirty minutes and barehanded showing
ice out of the way, he was ready to i'm
merse the converts.
Two men went in together for ban
tism, but the first one, Raymond SEQ
field, could not stand the lev water
