short Suggestions.

To prevent salt from becoming damp
or hardening in the shaker place few
grains of rice in shaker when filing.
In f1avoring buildings if the milk is
rich, lemon favoring is good; but If
the milk is poor, vanilla makes it
richer.
Starched things should be rather dry
for ironing. If ironed when too dry
the starch is really thrown away, as
1t does not stiffen at all.
To keep the flies in the screen door
from coming inside rub the door with
kerosene; the flies do not like the odor
A cloth saturated with kerosene in a
room drives flies to the floor.
When getting ready for a weeks
general sweeping. If you take down
your lace curtains and the portieres,
shake them and lay them aside until
You are through, then put them in
place again. they will keep clean much
longer.
A broom supporter made of spoOls Is
a simple and convenient device. Screw
two large empty spools high up on the
middle frame of door, just far enough
apart to allow the handle of the broom
to slip in. The broom part rests on
the spools.
The best way to freshen homemade
bread so that it is as good as new is
to dip the loaf in cold water, put it in
n pan and bake it until it is heated
through. Then wrap in damp cloth,
and when cold it is as good as when
first baked.
Tousa steak may be rendered more

nepper. but no salt: turn every twenty
minutes. Oil and vinegar soften the
fbers without extracting the Juices.

Summer Pest.

The illustration shows one of the most
destructive of the summer insect pests,
which attacks both fruit and orna-
mental trees. 1t is known as the yell
Iow-neck caterpillar. and is usually
found in numbers along the branches
Of trees, feeding on the foliage until
the limb is entirely denuded, when they
migrate to another limb. The female
deposits the eggs on the leaf Of the
tree where they are usually hatched
during July, and the young insects be-
gin feeding on the leaves.
The full-grown moth is shown in the
upper part Of the illustration. The
caterpillar is about two inches long,
with a dull yellow band iust back of
the black head. This pest is familiar
to most farmers, for it may be found
in nearly every section of the country.

Cabbage Rot.

The disease known to the cabbage
growers as black rot, or stem rot, has
come into prominence within the last
few years, and is said to be serious
hindrance to cabbage growing in sew
eral States. From recent farmers
bulletin prepared by the chief OF the
division of vegetable pathology, it ap-
pears that no way Is known Of curing
the disease or of entirely Kidding a
locality of it when once it is well es-
tabished. The whole subject of treat
ment may be summed up in one word
preventing. The disease is not con-
fined to the cabbage, but attacks a num-
Der of species belonging TO the mustard
family. The planting of other crops
for a long series of years Is said to
be the only satisfactory way to get rid
of this disease of the cabbage when it
has once become serious.

THE CONTINUAL COVENANT.
By Rev. Thomas Yates.


Textile Lord made not this
covenant with our fathers, but with us,
even us, who are all of us here alive
this day. The Lord talked with you
face to ace"-Deut. %, f.
According to the Hebrew speech that
word should read, The Lord made not
this covenant with our fathers only
but with us" They had their inter
view with God, but the point of empha.
sis is that with us also the Lord speaks
face to face, and that with US He has
His covenant. The past has not used
up all Gods power, neither has it end
ed Gods desire to utter himself to the
children of men. So let me beg you
to ring out the emphasis on the per-
sonal pronouns of this text, for that
is where it's message lies. The Lord
made not this covenant only with our
fathers but with us, even US, who are
all of us here alive this day. The
Lord talketh with you face to face"
New may be the old over again. 1t
may be conditioned by the old. 1t
may be made possible by the old; and
you cannot have right religion that
Is only a Renaissance. The Lord
spake with you"
We may hear-even us who are
alive at this day-may hear the voice
of God as surely as Moses, and Abra-
ham, and Isaiah, and Paul, and John.
Thank God for light; watch and pray
evermore. For God is speaking to us
in our own vernacular. There are
many kinds of voices, and not one of
them is without Specification. They
are all conscience. They are our guide
through the movements of our life, we
cannot live on the faith of yesterday
Let US thank God that the sweep of
the age current has rolled in and COW
cred the religious realm, and that to-
day men are running and asking. Let
us look and wait and pray for the
faith that Is to be delivered unto us.
. even us, who are all of us alive this
day; to feel our own life quick with
the presence of God; TO know that
through the channels of our life Gods
life is pulsating; TO be sensitive and
alert and eager in mind and heart,
that the living Christ may impart unto
us His other things.

Dog Sausage No Joke.

The old joke about eating hot dog
Is no Joke in Germany any more, for
no less than 1000 CANNES of various
breeds were slaughtered and eaten by
the subjects of Kaiser William Last
year, according to report from Consul
George n. lift at Annaberg. The eat
ing of horse meat seems to be quite
general in Germany, for no less than
$4,000 horses were slaughtered for
human food In 1906.
'Horsefesh is very generally adver-
tised In the German papers," says
Consul lift, especially In those in
large Industrial centers, and most Ger
man cities have at least one market
which makes it a speciality, claiming
for 1t higher percentage of nourish-
ment than that of beef, veal, mutton
or pork. Neither Is it unusual to find
advertisements of dog meat or for the
purchase Of dogs for slaughter. In the
city Of Cassel recently the police, in
searching for lost dog, discovered a
private slaughter house and arrested
the proprietors, who were apparently
making regular business of stealing
and killing dogs"
In the city of Chemnitz alone, Con-
sui lift reports, COS dogs were slaugh-
tered for human food in 1906, this be-
ing an increase of eighty-eight over the
previous year.

we believe that the Holy Spirit rs not
failing any more than Christ failed In
His mission upon the eaHh. The Spirit
is doing just the work for which He
came. This Gospel of the kingdom"
says Jesus, shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all pa-
tons, and then shall the end come"
Matt. xiv :14). He does not say that
the world shall be converted to Christ,
and then shall the end come. The Cos
Is not surface work. Then shall the
contamination come, not when the
world is converted, but when the Cos
pei shall have been preached In the
whole world for witness.
We are often asked, rs the world
growing better or worse?" Our answer
is, "Yes and no." The good is growing
better and the bad is growing worse.
The real church of Christ was never
better than 1t is to-day, and the world
that rejects Jesus was never worse.
There is more light now than ever be-
fore, and those who reject the light
are hardened by the process. Light is
"a SAVIOR Of life unto life" or of death
unto death. The bad In the world that
spurns the light will wax worse and
worse, while the good that receives the
light will grow better and better.
In l Thes. iv:16, II, we read: THE
nrJ 10
en- with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel and with the trump Of God /:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first {;
then we which are alive and remain
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air" From this Scripture it seems
that when Christ shall come for His
people He will not touch the earth.
Like great magnet He will draw
those who love Him up TO Himself
while those who do not love Him will
remain upon the earth. The dead in
Christ shall rise and shall be the first
to meet Him in the air.
This seems to be the first resurrec-
ton. 1.-THE rest of the Dead" we are
told In Revelation xx:5, "llve not
again until the thousand years are fin
ished." Blessed and holy is he that
hath part In the first resurrection" Ev-
identity Paul had In mind this resur-
rection when he said, II count all
things but loss," etc, ''if by any means
l may attain unto the resurrection of
the dead" An original translation
would be, Unto the out-resurrection
from among the dead" There is not
at this time to be a resurrection of all
the dead, but of the righteous from
among the dead. In Luke Xxx :35 we
have the clear declaration.
Let us remember that our salvation
does not depend upon what we think
about the second coming of our Lord.
The first coming is the test. Do we be-
lieye in the Lamb of God, the Savior
who died and rose again that we may
be saved from sin and live in righteous
ness? Nevertheless, the blessed hope
that Christ may come at any time has
a good effect upon cur lives. Every
one that hath this hope in him purifieth
himself even as he is pure"

a new idea for a pie board is a slab
Of marble. Sometimes a piece of mar
bic will be found in the cellar of an
old house when antiquated washstands
or mantels have been torn down. A
section of new marble. the remnant
end of a slab, could be bought at a
marble yard for the price of a medium
size pie board. A housewife who has
used marble for rolling out dough says
that in addition to its cleanliness the
results for puff paste and pie crust
are superior to a wooden board.

designed the implement shown in the
Illustration. 1t comprises a pair OF
knives, containing numerous cutting
teeth. The knives are attached to ply
oted handles. one knife moving over
the other. When the latter are grasp
ed, one In each hand, considerable
power can be applied to the cutter,
whereby over a foot of the hedge can
be trimmed in a single cut. 1t would
be impossible, with this tool, to trim
too much In spots. forming an uneven
surface to the hedge. The extreme
length of the blades insures an even
cut throughout.

They are the best household filing ar
