 Just to prove our utter inconsistency we nave invented a phrase to express oui supconsclous rage that a man should attempt to overcome circumstances.

 How are you getting on in that ah. surd occupation to fit yourself for which you robbed your widowed mother and to practice for which you persist ently neglect your holest duties?''
 When We mean to concentrate all this into one phrase and say: Well, and how are you succeeding in your chosen profession?"

 All of which is an argument that it matters not what our occupation may be, whether We chose it ourselves or whether we have 1t chosen for us. it is worth doing well.
 To have the ambition to excel in what ever we attempt is certainly commend- able and elevating, which reminds me ot fat coal black cook that we once had in our kitchen and who spent every cent she could rake and scape on buying expen- sive embroidery.
 One day I asked her why she invested all her money in such things as she never wore them, to which she promptly replied:

 Then why not save your money," suggested, instead of spending it that way?"

Checlerhoard Cake

"I send in this recipe in answer to your request. I hope it is what the correspond ent asked for. Checker board cake: Use one and one-half cups of fine sugar, half cup of butter. half cup of sweet milk, one and one-half cups of flour, half cup of cornstarch, whites of six eggs, one tea spoonful of baking powder. Flavor with vanilla. Bake in four jelly cake tins. Put a ring of light, then of dark, then ring of light, then dark in the center of two tins. Then put ring of dark, ring of light, ring of dark then ring of light in the center of the other tins. To put together alternately is the secret. When cut it is a perfect checkerboard. Divide this mixture into two dishes, leave one light, beat enough grated chocolate into one part 10 make it really dark. This makes large cake. l. s.
 An elaborate recipe, perhaps, but the re- suit in the hands of an expert cake maker must be pleasing to the eye and grateful to the appetite.
