WhITHER ARE
WI; DHiFTiNG?.

The startling scenes through which
the world is passing in the second de-
cade of the twentieth century n latTi
urslly suggest Sthe query at the head
of this article. Nation is literally
rising up against nation and wars
and rumors 81 war are filling the
air. Peaceful pursuits are experien-
cling rude shocks and, in the lang
uage of prophecy, "mea's hearts are
failing them for fear of those things
which are coming upon the earth"
What does it all mean? is the anx-
ious interrogation from many
thoughtful souls. The advanced civ
lli,:ation Of the past quarter Of a CEN
fury has caused some to indulge
dreams that nations were to learn war
no more, and certain optimistic peo-
pie, posing as humanitarians and
philanthropists, have argued that
with modern ornaments the clash OF
war was too horrible to contemplate;
that nations would count well the
cos. before Crossing swords.
All such Authorizations Eave passed
away in the night, and the fact is
apparent that the great mass Of hu-
man beings are fired with martial
spirit and ihrist re- for Zach cthe:S
blood.
Two OF three years ago a move
ment was started in the United
States having for its object the con-
version of the world to Christianity
during the next twenty-five years
It was purposed to collect eighty mil,
lion dollars to accomplish this grea'
desideratum. Like the dove of peace
the propagators of this scheme are
roosting high at present.
Notwithstanding the roseate pic
lures which have been drawn BY
well-meaning people during the past
! two or three centuries that the king
! dom of heaven was about to dawn
q upon this storm-tossed planet, fact
Il show that men are as fierce as ever
and that the beating of swords int
:, pillow shares and spears into pruning
il hooks is work of some futur
~ age.

cluding the receipts of the auXiliaries)
of $4,000 for the quarter The reports

Is pairs of shoes and SO garments hav-
ing been distributed among the needy.
Growing of the May Queen Tues
day evening proved to be profitable
both to the splendid audience that wit
messed it and to the Sunday school
which was responsible for the exer-
cises. Good for Mrs. Glenn and her
co-workefs.

fry in deep, hot butter, allowing 20
minutes for each side, 40 minutes in
all. Season well, turning chicken, and
also pan frequently. Have it covered
for steam of the moist meat and but
ter aid in cooking it. When thor
oughly done, lay on a hot platter and
put as much -four into the gravy in
pan as there is fat remaining, and let
brown for an instant. Add nearly a
cup of cold or warm water, gradually,
and one heaping teaspoon of sugar
and allow to boil, thus making a de-
licious brown gravy, thickened, and
pour on chicken. Serve at once.

other coarse goods.

CURING HAMS IN THE HOME

the Finished Product VIII Be
Declared Worth IT.

Hang up the hams week or ten
days, the longer the tenderer and bet
ter, If kept perfectly sweet. Mix for
each good-sized ham one teacup OF
salt, one tablespoon of molasses. one
ounce of saltpeter. Lay the hams In
a clean, dry tub. Heat the mixture
and rub we'll into the hams, especially
around the bones and recesses. Re-
peat the process once or twice. or un-
til all the mixture Is used. Then let
the hams lie two or three days, when
they must be put for three weeks into
brine strong enough to bear an egg;
then soak eight hours in cold water.
Hang up to dry in the kitchen for q
week or more, then smoke from three
to five days. being careful not to heat
the hams. Corn oobs and apple tres
wood are good to use in the smoking.
The juices are better retained If the
ham is smoked with the hook down
Tie up carefully IN bags when ths
smoking is complete.
