Stop cracks in walls with plaster of Paris, but mix it with vinegar,
'Mid Pleasures and Palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
Our Lady of the Lilies By Rev. Hugh F. Blunt.
I know the way. My Lady went, From humble Nazareth,
When to the hills her steps she bent
To greet Elizabeth. I know the way My Lady went, I know it by the mystic scent Of lilies tall and lilies sweet, That bended them with joy replete, To lay their glories at Her feet, Ah, lilies, ye were not so fair, Until My Lady sauntered there.
I know the place My Lady 'bode In Hebron's lovely. vale, When to Elizabeth she showed Her young heart's wondrous tale. I know the place My Lady 'bode, I know it by the light that glowed From' lilies tall and lilies fair, Transfigured, as they listened there To Her Magnificat's meek prayer, Ah, lilies, not so sweet ye grew Till Israel's Lily breathed on you.
" Wh-r-r-r-r-r-! " s Hallo, are you there ? " " Where ? " " At the Coronation Carnival ? " " Of course I am ; all Perth is here -except yourself-You are behind the
times."
" Man know thyself," is the injunction given us by the greatest of philosophers. Humility is the grandest of virtues' and humility is based on self-knowledge. If we know ourselves, we cannot but be sensible of our origin. Created out of nothing, cons cieved in sin, we came into the world helpless and we shall very soon go out of it alone and friendless. Know, ing ourselves for just what we are, we shall realise our present condition subject as we are to a thousand weaknesses and imperfections. Therefore, we should not be too hasty in our judgment of others.
Concerning New Potatoes There is always a difficulty in scraping new potatoes. Wash the potatoes well, Place them for a few minutes in boiling water, drain them and the skins will then come off easily. Then put the potatoes on again in boiling water, with a little salt and a spray of mint, to finish cooking. Drain, shake, and add a small lump of butter, and serve very hot. A little finely minced parsely shaken over the potatoes before serving is also considered an improvement. A Talk with Good Girls

mannered. Sgeak to the members of your family as courteously as y ou would to a stranger. Keep careful watch over your voice as well as your words at home. It happens so often when girls are annoyed that they raise their voices to a strident key,, most distressing to hear, and really painful to the nerves of their elders. If you allow yourself to do this in private you will do it in
public unconsciously sometimes and produce an unpleasant effect. Girls naturally become easil\ excited, and so it behoves them to be especially careful to control their voices, for one of the greatest attractions they can have is a speaking voic- of sweet, modulated tones.
Home is the place of the highest joys ; religion should sanctify it. llome is the sphere of the deePipt sorrows ; the highest consolation of religion should assuage its griefs. It is the place of the greatest intimacy of heart with heart ; religion should sweeten it with the joy of coalidence. Home discovers all faults ; religion should bless it with abundance of charity. Home is the place for impressions, for instruction and culture ; there should religion open her treasures of wisdom.

Then slip a knife round the egg, and it sill come out perfectly free from water and quite whole.
