most agreeable, are better developed.
The earthen casserole with tight
cover, plain or elaborate as the purse
can buy, will hold the heat, cook food
well, and II late meal has to be
served will keep the food hot. For
the busy woman who has many cares
and but one pair of hands to depend
on, the casserole is invaluable. A din
ner can be put to cook and left with
out watching. The best feature of
all in casserole cookery is that 1t may
be brought piping hot to the table.

didst blow with thy wind" This leads
us to look for place where the wind
would accomplish these results. Such
place would exist between Suez
and the Bitter lakes, II at that time
the land was depressed sufficiently
to allow shallow arm of the gulf to
connect the two bodies Of water.
That such depression existed 5000
years ago, Is made probable by
great amount of geological evidence.
Sea shells such as those now existing
in the Red sea are found in
great abundance In the vicinity of the
pyramids and near Cairo at an ele-
walton of ESQ feet above the sea. Sim
liar evidence of q recent general de-
preston OF the land In that region are
found on the shores of Palestine and
Syria and on the island of Cyprus. In
the region between the Gulf of Suez
and the E'tter lakes various knobs
capped with conglomerate, protecting
softer deposits beneath, indicate the
eroding action of water over all that
region at a considerably higher level
than that of the present. All this
shows that the land level in the region
has for a long time been slowly ris-
ing.
The highest point between Suez and
the Bitter lakes Is less than 80 feet
above sea level, and has now been cut
through for the Suez canal. II. there
fore, at the time of the Exodus the
land level was about 80 feet lower
than now, q channel Of water would
have extended through, separating the
children of Israel from the Asiatic
shore. That such was the case seems
1ikely from the fact that there are

n HE dancing madness which has
i swept over lands and seas has
brought out much ingenuity on the
part of those who provide apparel for
all the needs of city jewellers. This
dancing, In fact, Is a mere frolic which
the hedged-in city folk manage in their
crowded quarters, for lack Of more
space and better sport in roomier
quarters. And everybody Is dancing.
Slim youths and rotund grandfathers,
children and youthful maids and ma.
irons, even frolicsome grandmothers
on the shady side Of fifty. 1t Is
family sport, like sea bathing, and
only professionals indulge in acrobatic
feats and mad WRITINGS.
The liking for the new dances is
going to survive for some time. At
least, that Is the faith Of those who
provide amusement at summer hotels
and summer gardens. Danced accord
ing to the rules laid down by the fore
most authorities, the new dances are
far more interesting and pleasing than
the plain waltz, equally graceful and
not as strenuous as the two-step. Each
dancer invents steps and figures for
himself and each dancer sees to 1t
that his or her feet are carefully clad.
The satin dancing slipper shown
here is about the most satisfactory
and the most popular for those who
are all ready for the impromptu dance,
which needs only a little music to
start up anywhere.
1t Is to be worn amply long, dancers
often selecting a half-sfze in length

Coat HANGER Worth While.

A coat hanger may be padded and

stead of silk or ribbon. 1t makes a
strong, substantial cover, and IL the
chintz is of good design the hanger
will be very quaint and pretty. This
would be an excellent way to utilize
small pieces of material.
Wrap the hook with narrow ribbon,
matching some shade in the chintz. A
little different arrangement can be oh.
tanned by twisting in the usual way
and winding the ribbon around the
hanger at the base of the hook, then
fastening II securely with needle and
thread. A rosette of ribbon can be
added to the side of the hook II de,

ering, or make sachet bags and at
tach to the base Of the hook with
long. narrow ribbons 80 that they viii
hang inside the garment or coat.
The latter plan of using the sachet
is best as the scent can easily be ~
newed from time to time.

A study OF L map of the region
shows that a strong east wind might

at this point. Transforming the strait

the waters would return and over

upon water levels, the reports OF the
United States officials upon the levels
of Lake Erie show that while strong
west wind lowers the water at To
ledo sometimes as much as seven and
a half feet, It at the same time piles
It up to an equal extent at Buffalo. But

lions are reversed 30 that variation

Eyelets worked In the sides are
threaded with silk laces. They are
laced in the manner shown In the
picture, brought three times about the
ankle and tied in front, with little
silk tassels finishing the bow. Silk
stockings are worn with dancing
shoes, or stockings that look like silk
but are in reality not made Of silk
but of fiber that Is very strong and
has a high luster. This hosiery is
called silk, wears as well and costs
less. 1t must be carefully handled In
the laundry, as It is inclined to fade.

Of the beautiful name of Fragaria and
named 1t strawberry, because of the
custom of placing straw under the
vines to raise the berries from the
soil. Others say 1t Is the tiny straw
in the berry which gives 1t it's name
However that may be, strawberry by
any other name would taste as sweet.
Physicians concur in placing straw
berries in their catalogue Of pleasant
remedies.
The wild strawberry, picked in the
open field. where 1t has absorbed the
suns rays and developed its sweet
juiciness, has flavor unexcelled by
the choicest cultivated berry.
There are some unfortunate individ-
uals who are unable to eat this berry
without i'll effects. The reason for this
is not fully explained, says Thompson,
for the analysis Of the berry fails to
show any product which is peculiar to
itself" There must be some combi-
nation of acids or other materials ex-
listing in this berry which is excep-
tionally irritating to some persons"
1t may be that they (the persons)
have a digestive acid which combines
with the vegetable acid in some chem
ical change which causes the disturb
ance.
The strawberry contains an abun-
dance of salts of potash, lime and
soda which acts upon the body secre-
tions benef1cially.
The addition of dash Of red pepper
or pinch Of soda to berries for
people who have a personal idiosyn-
cracy against them will help some to
digest them without trouble. Lemon
Juice is another aid to some, and for

pepsia. says Thompson, use no sugar

The Bible consists Of two volumes,
one Of thirty-nine and the other Of
twenty-seven books. 1t took sixteen
hundred years to make It 1t has
about forty human authors; and 1t
was written In somewhat different
countries, as well as 1. widely differ
emit Centuries. II discusses many sub
Jects, but 1t preserves perfect unity
throughout. It's unity has been ap-
propriately and eloQuently illustrated
by the keynote In a grand oratorio.
That keynote is now heard laundering
in the bass, now trembling in the So
prano, and now for moment 1t is
lost to hearing; but 1t is ever appear
ing until 1t re-asserts itself In mag
nificent outburst of harmony. In like
manner the predominating thought Of
the Bible is seen in history. In proph-
ecy. in petition, and in doxology. 1t is
an internal rather than an external
unity. It is the unity of some glorious
castle or some ancient cathedral Al
though cathedral and castle external
ly may represent different centuries,
different architects. and various styles
OF architecture, yet the interior often
shows the dominance of one great
thought. and all parts of the edifice
contribute to one definite purpose.
The authors Of the Bible differed
widely from one another Some were
princes. some peasants; some were
warriors, some lovers Of peace; some
lived In palaces, and some In tents.
But all were actuated by one spirit;
all worked accordingly to one great
plan of the one divine Author. There
may be in the Bible an absence of sys-
tenn; but there Is the presence OF
method. Systems are human; meth
DDS are divine. You find methods In
rocks and fields: you find systems In
museums and herbariums. It might
have been enough for the principles
of revelation II God had made the
book simply instructive: but He was
pleased also to make It attractive.
Like Gods other volume, the book of
nature, 1t has its lofty mountains. its
shady dells, its suns and stars, its
smiling fields. and It's singing groves.
