TO STIR OR TO BEAT.
Every young housekeeper should
thoroughly understand the diSerence
between stirring and beating. Many
dishes are spoiled because theaa
things are not clearly understood. In
stirring the object is to combine the
ingredients or to make a substance
g'nooth. The spoon is kept rather
close to the bottom and sides of the
bowl aud is worked around andarouud
in tb.3 mixture until the object is at
tained. Baating is employed for two pur
poses : First, to break up a substance,
as in beating eggs for breading or for
custards; second, for making a sub
stance light by imprisoning air in it.
This is the case when we beat the
whites of eggs, cake batter, etc. The
movement is very different from stir
ring. The spoon or whisk at every
stroke is partially lifted from the
bowl and brings with it a portion of
the materials that are being beaten,
which carries air with it in falling
back.
It is not the number of strokes that
make substances light, but rather the
vigor and rapidity with which the
beating is done. When using a spoon
or whisk for beating take long up
ward strokes, the more rapid the bet
ter. The spoon should touch the bot
tom of the bowl eaah time and the mo
tion must be regular.
Another wav to beat is to use tho
circular motion, in case the side of the
spoon is kept close to the side of the
bowl. Tha spoon is moved rapidly in
a circle, carrying with it a portion of
the ingredients. iew York Yorld.

xxiv., 25.
A city ot marble was Ce?araa wharves of
marble. hous ot marble, temp" en of mar
ble. This belni? the or linnry architecture ot
tha place, you may Imagine something of the
ftp'.endor of Governor Felix's real lenoe. In
a room of that palace, floor tessellated, win
dows curtained, ceiliu? fretted, the whole
scene afBu-nt with Tyrian purple and stat
ues and pictures and carving, sat a very
latk complexioned man ot the name of Fe
lix, and beside him a woman of extriord'.
nary beauty, whom he had stolen by breik
Jnr up another domestic circle. She was
only eighteen years of ape. a prineess by
birth, and uuwitti&giy waiting for hrdoom
that of being buried alive in the ashes and
scoria of Mount Vesuvius, which in sudden
eruption one day put an end to her abomi
nations. Well, oha afternoon Druailln. seated In the
palace, weary with the maentQcent stupidi
ties of the place, says to Felix : "You have
a very distinguished prisoner, I believe, of
the name of Paul. Do yon know be Is one
of my countrymen? I should very much like
to see him, and I should very much like to
hear him speak, for I have beard so much
about his eloquence. Besides that the other
day, when he was being tried In another
room of this palace and the Windows were
open, I heard the applause that greeted the
speech of Lawyer Tertullus as he denounced
Paul. Now, I very much wish I could hear
Paul speak. Won't you let me hear him
speak?" "yes," said Felix, "I will. I will
onto him up now from the guardroom."'
Clank, clank, comes a chain up the marble
stairway, and there is a shuffle at the door,
and in comes Paul, a little old man, prema
turely old through exposure, only sixty years
of age, but looking as though be were eighty,
lie bows very courteously before the gover
n or and the beautiful woman by his side.
They say : "Paul, we have heard a great deil
about your speaking. Give us now a speci
men of your eloquence." Ob, if there ever
was a chance for a man to show off, Paul
had a chance there 1 lie might have har
angued them abcut Grecian art, about the
wonderful waterworks be had seen at Corinth,
about the Acropolis by moonlight, about
prison life in Philippl, about "what I saw in
Thessalonica,' about the old mythologies,
but "No "' Paul said to himself, '! am now
on the way to martyrdom, and this man and
woman will soon be dead, and this is my
only opportunity to talk to them about tha
things of eternity.
And just there and then there broke in
upon the scene a peal of thunder. It was the
voice ot a judgment day speaking through
the words of the decrepit apostle. As that
grand old missionary proceeded with his re
marks the stoop begins to go out of his
shoulders, and he rises up, and his counte
nance is illumined with the glories of a future
iife, and his shackles rattle and grind ns he
lifts his fettered arm and with it hurls upon
bis abashed auditors the bolts of God's in
dignation. Felix grew very white about the
lips. His heart beat unevenly. He put his
hand to his brow as though to stop the
quickness and violence of his thoughts. He
drew his robe tighter about him. ns under a
sudden chill. His eyes glare, and his knees
shake, and as he clutches the side of his
chair in a very paroxysm of terror he orders
the sheriff to take Paul back to the guard
room. '-Felix trembled andsaid : Go thy way
for this time. When I have a convenient
season, I will call for thee."
A young man came one nigbt to our ser
vices, with pencil in hand, to caricature the
whole scene and make mirth of those who
should express any anxiety about their souls,
but I met him at the door, his face very
white, tears running down his cheek, as he
said. "Do you think there is any chance for
me?'' Felix trembled, and so may God grant
it may be 60 with others.
I propose to give you two or three reasons
why I think Felix 6ent Paul back to the
guardroom and adjourned the whole subject
of religion. The first reason was, he did not
want to give up his sins. He looked around.
There was Drusilla. He knswtbat when he
became a Christian he must send her back to
Aizlue, her lawful hnsband, and he said to
himself. 'T will risk the destruction of my
immortal soul sooner than I will do that.''
How many there are now who cannot get to
tie Christians because they will not abandon
their sins' In vain all their prayers and all
tlieirehurchgoiug. You cannot keep these
darling sins an 1 win heaven, and now some
of you will have to decide bat ween th3 wine
cup undiiulaw.'ul amusements and lascivi
ous gratifications oa the one hand and eter
nal salvation on the other.
Delilnh sheared the locks of Samsou ; Sa
lome danced Herod into the pit ; Drusilla
blocked up the way to heaven for Felix. Yet
when I present the subject now I fear that
some of you will say : ''Not quite yfet. Don't
be so precipitate in your demands. I havtta
tev tickets yet Unit I have to use. I have a
Jew engagements that I must keep. I want
to stay a little longer in the whin of con
vivialitya few more guffaws of un?lean
laughter, a few more steps on the roil to
death, and then. sir. I will listen to whai you
say. 'Go thy way lor this tim". Wueii 1
have a convenient season, I will call for
thee.'"
Another reason why Felix sent Paul lo the
guarJrcom and adjourned this subject was
he was so very busy. In ordinary times he
found the affairs of stale absorbing, but
thoso were extraor liirary times. The whole
land was ripe for insurrection. The Sicarii,
a band of assassins, wpre already prowling
around the pala. and I suppose he thought,
I can't attend to raligion while I am so
pressed by affairs of state." It was business
among other things that ruined his soul, and
I suppose there are thousands of people who
are not children of Go 1 because they have so
much business. It is business in the store
losses, gains, uufaithful employes.
It is business in your law office sub
poauas, writs you have to write out, papers
you have to file, arguments you have to
make It is your medical profession, with
its broken nights aud the exhausted anxie
ties of life hanging upon your treatment. It
Is your real estate office, your business with
landlords and tenants and the failure of men
to meet their obligations with you. Aye,
with some of those who are here it is the an
noyance of the kitchen, andthe sitting room,
and the parlor -the wearing economy of try
ing to miet large expenses with a small in
come. Ten thousand voices ot "business,
business, business" drown the voice of the
eternal Spirit, silencing the voice of the ad
vancing judgment day, overcoming the' voice
of eternity, and thev cannot hear ; they can
not listen. They say. "Go thy way for this
time." Some of you look upon your goods,
look upon your profession, you look upon
vour memorandum books, and you see the
demands that are made this very week upon
your time and your patience and your
money, and while I am entreating you about
your soul nnd the danger of procrastination
voussy: "Go thy way for this time. When
1 have a convenient season, I will call for
thee."
on. renx, wnv oe cotnered about The af
fairs of this world so muoh more than about
the affairs of eternitv? Do you not know
that when death comes you will nave to stop
business, though it be in the most exacting
period of it between the payment of the
money and the taking of the receipt? The
moment he comes you will have to go. Death
waits for no man, however high, however
low. Will you put your office, will you pet
your shop in comparison with the affairs of
nn eternal world, affairs that involve
firon?. palaces, dominions eternal? Will
vou put 200 acres ot ground against im
mensity? Will you put forty or n fty years of
vour life against millions ot ages? Oh, Felix,
you might better postpone everything elae,
for do you not know that the upholstering
of lynan purple m your palace will fade,
and the marble blocks of Carea will
crumble, and the breakwater at the beach,
made of great blocks ot stone sixty feet
lorn?, mut giva way Merore the per
petual wash ot the sea, but the redemption
that Paul offers you will be forever? And
yet and yet and yet you wave him back to
! the guardroom, saying "Go thy way for
this time. When I have a convenient season,
I will call fcrtnee."
t Again. Felix adjourned this subject of re-
ligion and put off Paul's argument because
Ine oouia not give np tne nonors of the world.
He was afraid somehow he would be com
promised himself in this matter. Remarks
I he made afterward showed him to be In

O, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, who
is that man that sleep in your public hall
covered with garlanls anl wrapped in the
Stars and stripes? Is that the man who, only
a few months before, you denounced as the
foe of republican and democratic institu
tions? Is that the same man? Ye American
people, ye could not by one week of funeral
eulogium and newspaper leaders, which the
dead senator could neither read nor hear,
atone for I wenty-flve years of maltreatment
an I caricature.
When I see a man like that, pursued by
all tho hounds of the political kennel so long
as he lives and then buried under a great
pile of garlands and amid the lamentations
of a whole nation, I say to myself : What an
unutterably hypocritical thing is all human
npp'.me and all human favor ' You too'i
t wi'nty-'ive years in tryin? to pult down hii
fame and then take twenty-five yeRrs in ti j
ing to build his monument. My friends, wa!
there ever a better commentary on the hoi
lownrss of all earthly favor? If there nro
yonutr men who read this who are postpon
ing religion in order that they may have the
favors of this world, let me persuade then
of their complete folly. If you are looking
forward to gubernatorial, senatorial or pres
idential chair, let me show you your great
mistake.
Can it be that there is now any young
mail saying: ' Let me have political office,
let me have some of the hisrh positions of
trust and power, and then I will attend to
religion, but not now. Go thy way for this
time. When I have a convenient season, 1
will call for thee" "
An I now my subject takes a deeper tone,
and it shows what a danserous thing is this
deferring of religion When Pnr rhain
rattlel down the marble stairs of Felix, that
was Felix's last chance for heaven. Ju lging
from his character afterward, he was re
probate and abardoned. And so was Dru
silla. One day in the southern Italy there was a
trembling of the earth, and the air got blacl
with smoke intershot with liquid rocks, and
Vesuvius rained upon Drusilla and upon her
son a horrible tempest of ashes and fire
Thev did not reject religion. They only pu
It off. They did not understand that tha
day, that that hour when Paul stood before
them, was the pivotal hour upon which every
thing was poised, and that it tipped th
wrong way. Their convenient season cam
when Paul and his guardsman entered th
palace. It went away when Paul and h;
guardsman left. Have you never seen men
waiting for a convenient season? There !
such a great fasoination about it that, though
yon may have great respect to the truth o.
Christ, yet somehow there is in your soul
the thought : "Not quite yet. It is
not time for me to become a Christian.' I
say to a boy, "Seek Christ." He says, "No.
Wait until I get to be a young man." I say
to the young man, "Seek Christ." He says,
"Wait until I come to midlife." I meet the
same person in midlife, and I say, "Seek
Christ' He says, "Wait until I get old."
I meet the same person-in old ags and say to
him, "Seek Christ." He says, "Wait until I
am on my dying bed." I am called to his
dying couch. His Inst moments have come.
1 bend over the couch and listen for his las',
words. I have partially to guess what they
are by the motion of his lips, be is so feeble,
but rallying himself he whispers until I can
hear him say, "I am waiting for a- -more
convenient season," and he is gono '
1 I can tell you when your convenient season
will come. I can tell you the year. It will
be 1891. I can tell you what kind of a da;
it will be. It will be the Sabbath day
I can tell you what hour it will be. It wl
be between 8 nnd lOo'clock. Inother word-,
it is now. Do you ask me how I know th
is vour convenient season? I know it be
cause you are here, and because the elec
sons and daughters of God are praying for
your redemption. Ah, I know it is your
convenient season because some of you, like
Felix, tremble as all your past life comes
upon yon with its 6in, and all the future lifo
comes upon you with its terror. This night
air is aglare with torches to show you up or
to show you down. It is rustling with wings
to lift you into light or smite you into de
spair, and there is a rushing to and fro, and
a beating against the door of your souls with
a great thunder ot emphasis, telling you,
"Now, now is the best time, as it may be the
only time "
May God Almighty forbid that any of you,
my brethren or sisters, act the part of Felix
and Drusilla and put away this great sub
ject. If you are going to be saved ever,
why not begin to-night? Throw down your
sins and take the Lord's pardon. Christ has
been tramping after you many a day. An
Indian and a white man became Christians.
The Indian, almost as soon as he heard the
gospel, believed and was saved, but the
white man struggled on in darkness for a
long while before he found light.
After their peace in Christ the white
man said to the Indian, "Why was it that I
was kept so long in the darkness and you
immediately found peace?" The Indian re
plied: "I will tell you. A prince comes
along, and be offers you a coat. You look
at your coat, nnd you say, My coat is
good enough.' and you refuse his
offer, but the prince comes along,
and he offers me the coat, and 1
look at my old blanket, and I throw that
away and take his offer. You, sir." contin
ued the Indian, "are clinging to your own
righteousness ; you think you are good
enough, and you keep your own righteous
ness ; but I have nothing, nothing, and so
when Jesus offers me pardon and peace I
simply take it."
My reader, why not now throw away the
wornout blanket of your sin and take the
robe of a Saviour's righteousness a robe so
white, so fair, so lustrous, that no fuller on
earth can whiten it? O Shepherd, to-night
bring home the lost sheep! O Father, to
nignt give a welcoming kiss to the wan
prodigal ! O friend of Lazarus, to-night
break down the door of the sepulcher aud
say to all these dead souls as by irresistible
flat: "Live! Live!"

pean visitors to Japan speak with ad
miration of the publio baths of that
country," sid Oscar T. Newman, of
Loudon, England. "In the city of
Tokio there are between 800 and 903
publio bathing establishments, each
frequented daily by at least 300 peo
ple, who pay for the privilege so small
a sum that no one is too poor to af
ford it. Outside of these baths the
Japanese are much given to bathing
in their own homes. They are one of
the cleanest races in the world. Trav
elers from the Western world fre
quently express regret that in Europe
and America there are no such estab
lishments. "We have, it is true, pub
lic baths in about all our cities which
are open in the summer, but practi
cally none which are warmed and
open in the winter like those of
Japan." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
'ames of Fruits.
The very names of many of our fruits
at once suggest their foreign origin.
Corinth was the sponsor of "currants,"
and Damascus of "damsons;" we have
borrowed the word "gooseberry" from
the French "groseille," "apricot" is
derived from Arabic, ''peach" from
the French or the Italian, and "to
mato" from the Mexican Aztec "tomo
tel;" while th? word "cauliflower" is
almost comically close in its deriva
tion from the Spanish 'col-y-flor,"
cabbage and flower. London Telegraph.

A dynamometer for the measure
ment of muscular strength is being
introduced for gymnasium purposes.
In future there will be no groping in
the dark when the young college ath
lete is taken in hand by bis tfainers
for preparation for the boat race of
the football match. Every important
muscle in his body oan be tested, and
its strength or weakness at once indi
cated. In this way man's weak point
is discovered without serious loss oi
time, and special attention can thence
forth be directed toward the "leveling
up" of his physique. The old method
of testing a man's muscle by its size,
or even by its hardness, will no
longer be used, and strength tests
will supersede these unreliable sys
tems of measurement. The muscular
strength of tha various portions of
the arms ant legs can now be differ
entiated. As a sample instance of the
possibilities of the new method, it
may be stated that by ascertaining the
strength of the abductors of the leg
by the dynamometer, a bad gait cau
promptly be cured, as the proper ex
ercise for the weakened muscles can at
once be determined. The dynamometer
is hung on two heavy, iron rods,
placed in a vertical position, with
their ends fastened securely to the
floor. It cau be adjusted to any
height to the waist, feet or neck.
The muscles tested are directly upon
a lever which is connected with a pis
ton working in a chamber filled with
oil. The pressure is transmitted to a
column of mercury, and the result in
pounds is recorded in a slender glass
tube. New York Witness.
Simple Cures tor Grave Maladies.
We read so much about the heroia
operations resorted to in cases of ap
pendicitis that widespread alarm has
been occasioned among timid persons
who imagine that they have swallowed
au orange, a grape or a raisin seed,
and wait with terror the possibilities
of an obstructiou in the appendix
vermiform. A Utica physician says
that olive oil will remove such obstruc
tions iu almost every instance, and
that resort to the knife is utterly un
necessary. Now, J observe, a Cali
fornia gentleman insists that the freo
use of prunes is a sure preventive of
appendicitis. He tells how the chil
drcn in the Santa Clara Valley eat ber
ries and grapes, cherries and other
fruits nearly the year round and never
think of spitting out small pits or
seeds, and are not troubled with in
testinal obstructions. He says this is
because thev partake freely and daily
of prunes, with the laxative effects of
which my readers are, uo ilouut, la
miliar.
An old lady, whose good judgment
is proverbial, speaking in the same
line of thought recently, remarked:
I don't see whera these new-fangled
diseases like appendicitis come from
We never had them in my lounger
days, and I was nurse and physician
in a village of a thousand persons for
more than twenty years. A good dose
of castor oil was always a safe and re
liable remedy in such troubles of tha
etomaeh and bowels. We think too
much of the notions of doctors who
want to make new discoveries, and we
think too little of the good old castor
oil, blue pill, herb teas and onion
poultices. New lork Mail and Ex

Tha ChaijeaMe Flower of Calm.
The botanical oddity of the Flowery
Kingdom is the flowering tree, Known
to the scientists as the Hibiscm ran-
tabilia. Its beautiful flowers, geuar-
ally double, are pure snow in the
morning, bright pink at noou aud of
a deep, blood red at sunset, fading
into a 6ky-blue by bedtime. The
leaven of this particular tree somewhat
resemble those of the grapevine, bein ?
deeply notched, or serrated, rough
and of variable lengths. Ine trea is
not only a native of China aa I Japan,
but is found in great profusion in In
dia, Corea and Siam. The "Cham
eleon flower" (so called on account of
its changeable colors, because not yet
scientifically identified and named),
recently discovered iu the Isthmus ol
Tehanutepee, is only an American
variety of Hibiscus mutabihs. Iu case
of the former, the colors do not pass
abruptly from one shade to anotl '.but
change gradually from the soft white
of the morning to the pink and red of
noon and evening, and thence to the
blue of night.
The Tehauntepec tree is larger than
its Chinese relative of similar habits,
and the flowers have the pecnlarity of
only giving forth perfume when they
are red.
Several other species of Chinese
shrubs and trees bear flowers which
change color dailv, chief of which is
the Oriental hydrangea, which changes
from bright green to a deep pink.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
A Taxidermist's Revelations.
The Fall Mall Gazette, in an inter
view with one of the leading taxider
mists of London, brings to light some
curions facts about rare birds and
their eggs. "Of course," Baid the
great taxidermist, "you know I have
made some dodos and a great auk.
No? Evidently you are an amateur
at taxidermy. We make 'em of grebes'
feathers and the like. And the great
auk's eg ?, too I We make the eggs
out of fine porcelain. I te 1 you it is
worth while. Ihey fetch well, one
fetched $1500 only the other day.
That one was really genuine, I believe ;
but, of course, oue is never certain.
It is very fine work, and afterward
you have to get them dusty, for no one
who owns one of these precious eggs
has ever the temerity to clean the
thing. Even if they suspect au egg
they do not like to examine it too
closely. It is such brittle capital at
the best. You did not know that taxi
dermy rose to such heights as that?
It has risen higher. I have rivalled
the hands of nature herself ! One of
the genuine great auks." his voice fell
to a whisper "one of the genuine
great auks was made by me ! And,
what is more, I have been approached
by a syndicate of dealers t stock one
of the unexplored skerries to the north
of Iceland with specimens. I may
tome dav."
His First High Silk Hat.
Says Colonel Tom Moonlight, the
new United States Minister to Bolivia
"1 never wore a high silk hat except
once. It was when I was Governor of
Wyoming anl we were celebrating
Fourth of July or some other holiday.
I was told that the Governor ought to
wear a tile, and bo 1 put one on. I had
not gono fifty yards before a cowboy,
just in from the plains, sent a bullet
through it. He said that a man ouht
to have better sense than to wear a
rilk hat in Cheynne, and, to tell the
truth, my sympathies were with the
cowboy." New York Ledgei.
Bob Mawsley, of JacEsonvure, ra ,
has a pair of young eagles which ha
has trained to carry through the air a
basket containing his seven-year-oil
boy. His only regret is that he cau't
enjoy a trip himself till he has caught
a few more of the birds.

Trofessor Guamuri, of the Univer
sity of Pi a, is uXlhe same opinion as
that published by him in 1892, viz.,
that the process of population, both
of cowpox and smallpux, is originated
by a parasite which develops iu the
epithelial cells. Ho has studied both
the morphology and biology tf this
organism. It is capable of amuebio
movements, which can be seen on ex
amination of lymph taken from the
initial vesicle at the temperature of
the human body. By thin proces-t
Professor Guamuri has also verified
the multiplication of the parasite un
der the microscope, and the fact of
phagocytosis by polynucleated, leu
cocytes. With a stain of gentian an I
methylene, the structure of this low
organism may be studied.- It consist
of a roundish body with a clear out
line. Frofessor Guamuri hai suc
ceeded in reproducing the parasite in
the cornea of rabbits with inoculation
of the same lymph, aud he has verified
the fact that no other source of irrita
tion is capable of producing anything
of the appearance of the same parasite
in the cornea. Trofesaor Guamuri be
lieves that it is a zooparasite belong
ing to the class of rhizopode, and flint
it is the cause of both cowpox and
smallpox. '
