don't know much about Gods

other fellow has done as quickly as
possible and help him to go shining
on ms way. And I'm even more keen
on forgetting my own sins and ac-
curing aforementioned shine.
Most Furnishing isn't done because
we have amy deep convictions OH the
subject, but because we've always
seen it done. and it has never occur
red to us to think whether there
might not be some better way. Why
when he does right instead of a
whaling when he does wrong? 1t
sounds startling. but it's nevertheless
much nearer the true needs of the
human spirit But move feel that
little Willie should love Righteousness
for its own sake. Which is manifest
Suppose instead Of spending so
much oratory and tax money in
preaching against and Furnishing
wrong doing. we used more of 1t in
rewarding right doing and making
decency ana attractive ana prOntapie
investment. Suppose we begin to put
some Of the dash and daring into our
schhemes for rightness which the sim
ner puts into his schemes for wrong
ness. don't you think we'd get along
faster? Has 1t ever occurred to you
how negative most human goodness is
and how positive much of the bad
ness?
And I'm thinking lot more, too,
but that's enough for one day.

fully every pile of stones. They
peeked under logs and peered under
every old board they could find. They
even went up to Farmer Browns and
searched carefully about his wood
pile. They were looking for a cast
off suit of one of the Snake family.
Yes. sir. that is just what they were
looking for. 1t seems queer that any
one should want one, of Mr.. Snakes
caSt-off suits. but for a reason which
wife cannot be happy unless they
have at least a piece of one of those
old suits in their nest The very
thought of such a thing makes most
Of their feathered neighbors shiver.
Now Farmer Browns Boy had been
been greatly delighted when he dis
covered that they had taken possess
sion of one of his houses. He watched
them while they were building their
nest. and so 1t came about that he
discovered that they were hunting for
Browns Boy understood. He knew
all about their liking for an old skin
of Snake. Up in his room he had
one which he had found under some
old boards one time. You know. all
Snakes shed their skins and the old
skins are white and soft.
The one that Farmer Browns Boy
had was one that Mr.. Blacksnake had
cast off. 1t was perfect. There
wasn't hole in it anywhere. Farmer
Browns Boy looked at it thought
fully. 'It is such a good one that I
hate to part with it," said he, talk
ing to himself. Il do so. But don't
really need it, and I guess Cresty
does. I would rather have a happy
family Of Flycatchers in that house
than an old snake skin in my room"
Farmer Browns Boy took the SIX
and carried 1t out into the Old Or
chard. Neither Cresty nor Mrs.
Cresty was anywhere to be seen.
He dropped the old skin in the grass
near the tree whore their house was.
Then he went of short distance
and sat down to watch. Mrs. Cresty
was the first to return. She looked
tired and unhappy. She flew to the
perch close to the doorway of her
new home and sat there to rest. Sud
denly she gave a little shrek It
was shrek Of joy. She darted down
into the grass and in a moment was
up again with that snake skin dang
ling from her bill. Just then Cresty
appeared. He saw at once what she
had. You can guess how surprised
he was when Mrs. Cresty told him
where she had found it. 1t was q
glad surprise for both of them, but
they couldn't understand it at all.
Farmer Browns Boy chuckled. Then
he started for homo whistling.

New ways Of using lamb and NUT
ton in preparing appetizing meat
dtzhes have been tested by the United
states Department Of Agriculture and
are suggested for the use OF the
housewife. These have been derived
from recipes originating among the
Turks, Armenians and Syrians. who
for generations have been expert in
ways of preparing paiataole dlshes
from mutton and lamb.
$In most of these dishes some tart
vegetable or fruit is combined with
the meat to give the acid flavor which
Isl generally liked with lamb or NUT
ton and which in ordinary household
practice is introduced by the use OF
and currant jelly. For example
typical Turkish dish is "sarina, or
rolls made of meat and broken rice,
wrapped in grape leaves and then
boiled, the grape leaves giving the
rolls an appetizing, mild acid taste.
The same idea is made use OF IN the
following recipes:
Mutton with Rice and Apples.
Mix chopped mutton with rice. Line
a baking dish with sliced tart apples.
Put the mixture of meat and rice in
this, cover it with water and bake
until the rice is cooked.
Cabbage. Leaf Roll.
One cup raw chopped mutton, two
tablespoons fat, one-third cup rice,
one-fourth teaspoon pepper, one head
cabbage, one lemon, two teaspoons
salt.
Put cabbage leaves Of suitable size
into boiling water and let them stand
until they are wilted. Mix the re-
manning ingredients with the excep-
tion of the lemon) and form into
rolls, each containing about one ia
blespoonful Of the mixture. Wrap
each roll in a cabbage leaf, after re-
moving the thicker part Of the stem
in order to make 1t roll well. Pack
and cover with water or stock. Bake
for one-half hour. Just before serv-
ing squeeze the Juice of the lemon
over tho rolls.
