This Is The Birthday OF Francois Jos
eph Talma, Jan. t5. 1898, Paris.

Talma was one Of the greatest
French actors. holding a position on
NJ stage, similar perhaps to that
Henry Irving held in his c-iuntry. He
was the son OF a dentist and got his
only training for the stage by his APP
pcarance in amateur thcatricals. lie
made his debut in secondary parts
at the Comedie Francaise. Talma $
greatest service to the stage WAS his
Introduction OF realism in dress.
Previous To his day IL was the fashion
for actors TO appear In the garment
Of their own kind and country no
matter what parts they were taking.
So when Talma appeared as Brutus
In a toRa and Roman hcaddress, in
stead of the costume of French
dandy. the audience was vastly aston
ished This was the beginning uf our
modern realtsmxln stage productions.
Tnlma was ohAtltimaie terms with

Sandwich Filings

Do you know how to make dainty
sandwiches? Almost any woman
will answer: eyes," to this question,
but there are comparatively few
women who know how to make really
good sandwiches. And yet, they are
very easy to make, and can be made
in an almost endless variety.
One of the incest things to serve at
an informal tea or in the evening
when guests come to visit or to play
a friendly game of cards, is coffee and
sandwiches. These, with sailed nuts
and bonbons, make a lunch which is
sufficient and satisfying. But the
sandwiches must be made as daintily
as possible, and it is best to cut them
in fancy shapes with cookie cutters
after they have been spread. Always
trim all crust from the bread and cut
the slices very thin.
Following are some recipes for
easily-made filings, furnished by the
home economic extension service of
the college of agriculture:
Prunes and English walnuts. Chop,
moisten with thin syrup, and season
with salt, paprika and lemon juice.
Dates, figs and almonds. Grind
moisten with orange juice and press
into baking powder can. When ready
for use, turn out mixture, slice and
place between slices of bread.
Raisins and English walnuts. Chop
and moisten with whipped cream.
Use as filling for whole wheat bread.

"Gather up the fragments that remain

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

After they laid away the body OF
John the Baptist. and had told Jesus
all that they had done and taught, our
Lord said that they should come away
from the crowd and rest awhile, for so
many were coming and going they had
no leisure even to eat (vss. 30-32). To
those who long for rest he says, II
know thy works." and he also says,
Come unto me and I will give you
rest" (Rev. 2:2; Matt. IL :2S). Con-
trast those who some day will have
such glorious rest and those who will
never rest day nor night (Rev. IA IL,
49,. II may be his will for some that
they continue at work until absent
from the body or caught up to meet
him in the air.
The two parts Of today's lesson, feed
Ing the multitudes and toiling In the
night storm, simply and wonderfully
set forth our present occupation as his
followers, and present conditions till
he come. The feeding of the FIVE thou
sand is the only miracle recorded In
each Of the four gospels. the night
storm is found In all but Luke. When
the multitudes saw them departing
across the sea. they ran afoot and out
went them, and came together unto
him. When he saw the multitudes he
was moved with compassion for these
shepherdless sheep and began to teach
them many things (vss. 33, 34). 1t was
nearly passover time and Jesus had
gone Up into a mountain with his dfs-
ciples, but the multitudes followed him
because they saw his miracles on them
that were diseased; 50 he healed their
sick rs we'll as taught them (John 9 L.
A; Matt. 1910. In Luke Oil 1t Is
written that he spake unto them of the
Kingdom Of God and healed them that
had need Of healing. Always note the
association Of his healing with his
teaching concerning the Kingdom
Matt. 4:23). AS the day were away,
and the evening came, the disciples be-
came little concerned about the null
tftudss having nothing to eat, and 30
they asked the Lord to send them away
into the villages to buy bread (vss. 50.
3e). How great must have been their
surprise when he said: They need
not depart, give ~ them to cat" (vs.
81; Matt Is :1e).

Four cups ground rice, two table
spoonfuls butter, one teaspoonful
sugar, dash salt, three eggs, two level
tablespoonfuls baking powder.
Cream together the butter and
sugar. Pour on enough boiling water
to moisten the rice, stirring all the
time. Cool and add the yolks of the
eggs, well beaten, creamed butter and
sugar; then enough sweet milk to
form batter, beating thoroughly;
add the baking powder and salt, and
last, fold in the whites of the eggs,
well beaten. Bake in gem pans in a

Potato Soup

Three potatoes of medium size, four
cups skim milk, one small onion, four
tablespoonful butter or other fat,
two tablespoonful flour, one and one
half teaspoonfuls salt, one-fourth tea
spoonful celery salt, one stalk of cell
cry, cut in inch pieces, one-eighth
teaspoonful chopped parsley, a little
cayenne pepper or paprika. Boil the
potatoes and when soft rub them
through a sieve. Slice the onion and
scald this and the celery with the
milk. Take out the onion and celery
and add the milk slowly to the pota-
toes. Melt two tablespoonful butter
or fat, into which mix the dry in
gradients, and stir into the boiling
soup. Boil one minute; strain, add
the remainder of the butter, or fat,
and sprinkle with the parsley when
ready to serve. The parsley improves
the looks and adds little to the flaw
or but may be omitted if this is more
convenient.

To clean white toys such as velvet
rabbits and Teddy" bears, use a
paste madt of cornstarch and cold
water-just enough water to dissolve
the cornstarch. Apply it with q
brush, coating the toy thoroughly.
When dry brush well.
Mending a stocking with court
plaster is an idea for mother TO
remember when travelling with chill
dren. How often child manages to
make holes in the knees of otherwise
respectable-looking stockings only a
mother knows. What it is inconvient
to change the stockings cut off a
piece of black court-plaster and aftix
it to the black stocking under the hole.
AS a temporary measure it generally
does very well.
Laundry marks mar fine linen so
much that housekeeper will do well
to escape this source of annoyance
by cutting uieces of muslin All inch
wide and two or three inches long and
overcasting one end to the edges OF
articles that are to be washed. These
pieces of muslin will look like tags.
Write in pencil upon them: Put
laundry number here" When the
clothes are returned the tags may be
removed in moment.
Using old bedspreads for bath tow
els is an economy which some women
have found satisfactory. Very often
the center of spread may be good,
although the edges are hopelessly
worn. Cut the center part into con-
venient sizes for towels. Hem these
pieces and use them for the bath
room. Such towels will be so soft
that the children may like them better
than the regular Turkish towels.
Mark the middle of your hat with a
little piece of colored ribbon sewed to
the under edge of the crown in the
exact center. After one has been
obliged to remove ones hat in some
place of amusement such ribbon will
be a great help in replacing the hat
in the correct position on the head.
To economic space in fiat pro-
vide a camp chair for the kitchen.
When not in use it may be folded;
and II there is no better place Tor IL
hang it on a hook fiat against the
wall.
Make house cleaning easy in this
way, if you have all of it to do your
self: Take one day TO attend to all
the lighting fixtures, mirrors and
pictures all over the house; another
day for the walls, picture molding,
things in disorder.

Peanut Butter Soup

A delicious and nourishing soup
may be made from peanut butter and
skim milk. Heat pint of milk until
warm, add two tablespoonful of pea

little of the milk. Salt and season to
taste and thicken with a teaspoonful
each of butter and flour cooked to-
gether until smooth. When scalding
hot-serve.
Fried corn is delicious. Mix with
little finely chopped green pepper
and cook in any sweet fat, corn oil or
olive oil. Season with salt and pep
per and serve with crisp bacon.

Magic hints from far away
Haunt the woodland, while the stream,
Murmurs I'm his rocky bed
Things that never can be said.
Starry dogwood Is In flower,
Cleaning through the mystic woods.
II Is beauty's perfect hour
In the wild spring solitudes.
Now the orchards In full blow
Shed their petals white as snow.
All the air Is honey-sweet
With the lilacs white and red.
Where the blossoming branches meet
In an arbOr overhead.
And the laden cherry trees
Murmur with the hum OF bees
All the earth Is fairy green.
And the sunlight filmy gold,
Full OF ecstasies unseen
Full OF mysteries untild.

What Other Women Have Found Out

What Other Women Have round Gut
A broom will last longer if it is Dip
ped in cold water after it has been
used and then rested on two horizon
tai supports until it is dry. Two
nails driven into a wall will do. As
all brooms have a tendency to grow
shorter on one side than on the other
let the shorter side hang down. The
weight of the dampness will help to
keep the broom in proper shape.
Here is a way to avoid soiling the
sleeves of a clean shirtwaist when
preparing a meal or washing dishes:
Undo the cuffs, fold them back to the
elbows, and tie piece of string
around the back of the neck and fast
it to the other sleeve in the same
manner.
A worn tablecloth may be so repair
ed that it will look quite new, or at
least show no sign of wear. This is
how the repair should be made: When
holes begin to come on the edge of the
cloth pull a thread each side Of the
worn place and cut of carefully. This
will leave the cloth without a border.
Now place the raw edge of the bor-
der about an eighth of an inch above
the edge of the cloth and carefully
seam together. Next turn the edge
under and stitch again, making a fiat
seam. Your cloth will be very pre-
sentable, and good for considerable
use.
