munity, nor the great foundation of moral law which keeps society from becoming a chaos, should stand in the way of this great love. It is a law unto itself. Thy, individual must Use his life, follow his nature, break down every thing that stands ,
All the world is full of sunshine, And my path of life is sweet, When the fragrant flowers of friendship Spring in beauty 'round My feet ;
But too oft the blossoms wither When misfortune's breezes blow, And my heart is filled with hunger For the days of long agoFor the dear delightful places Where my feet were wont to roam, And the old familiar places Of the friends back home. There is naught in fame or pleasure Can the weary heart beguile hike a mother's sweet caresses And a father's loving smile ; it the clasp of friendly fingers That your Pulses leap to feel, When you know behind the greeting Is a heart as true as steel. All the idols I have cherished Long have crumbled into dust And I want to hear the voices That tn\ heart can truly trust (
Oh,
'twould seem a bit of Heaven It my eyes once more could see The kindly, kindred faces I have kept in memory They are lined with many sorrows, They are seamed with toil and care, And time has left its furrows On the brows that once were fain; But to me there's none so lovely Underneath the starry dome As the old familiar faces Of the friends hack home !

Paganism of Modern Fiction " The christen Work and Evan4elist " contains the following severe indictment of the modern novel in a recent issue. It holds that one would not know that there was such a thine as Christianity in existence from reading the novel of the day " We are being flooded with a lot of fiction flint attacks everything the world has called morality, and holds up a frantic individi:alism as the 1.1"1ly dominant life -principle worth considering. Marriage is a conventionality of old-fashioned people, ',.nd must not stand in the way of 'love.' If a man suddenly conceives a terrific passion for a woman, neither marriage nor the welfare of the c
between himself and his one seeming high happiness. The favourite gospel of these novelists is the rights of the soul.' Under this gospel divorce, adultery any crimes against the social order are all glossed over, and even held up as the true way of life. And men and women who are guilty of the most heinous crimes are excused on the basis of fate and destiny or entanglements which they are powerless to break. Or the man and woman who violate their vows are so glossed over with other fair qualities or so surrounded with a sentimental halo of martyrdom that

Pride is a vicious disposition, and has always been treated as such 1,y ethical writers. The Sacred Scriptures, inspired of God, condemn it with a constancy and a vehemence that is surprising. It is natural to, and inborn in most men. It is the ruling force of the lower passions, directs them, and too frequently gains the mastery over the higher instincts of the soul. That is the reason wh,\ it must be fought against.

the readers' sympathies are won ter the sinners. " In three modern novels out cf live of those one buys at the newsstands or on the train the reader wonders (or would if the average reader of these books had any moral Perception) if the writers of these
hooks have any sense of right 4,r wrong left. Or do many of them go just as far as they dare in irnoring all moral restraints simply to write a shocking hook that may sell to the great host of the 'rrorally perverted ? Bet several of the writers who have literary standing are as culpable in these regards as those who write the rubbish to he hawked in trains. They do not take one into sewers nor are their Pages quite as odourous as is garbage, but in their perfumed Pages the same danger lurks. All moral vigour is absent. There is nothing but sensuousness as atmosphere, and there is absolute relaxation of will to passion, and law is unknown, and the rights of others unheeded-ignored."
Words With Odd Histories I hope that when you are older
you will be able to take up the study of words, for '-ou will learn some
irteresting things about them. For instance, long years ago people thought that a certain little flower looked very much like the sun, for they saw it had a golden centre like the centre of the sun, and that very
Fruits Is Savoury Rookery The association of fruit with meats has not beer very frequent in ordinar, English cookery , though we have acknowledged the value of apple source as an aid to the digestion of certain rich meats, and accepted red currant jell, as an accompaniment to others but with the wise increase of fruit consumption the association is also likely to increase. Already various fruit sauces, other than apple are being served more frequently with fish and meat savouries. For example, banana sauce with cutlets. gooseberry sauce with mackerel, and others, for which receipes are given below fruit salads with mayonnaise or other ordinary salad dressings are becoming more PoPular stewed fruits are being served with certain meat dishes, as plums or damsors with beef, after the German fashion; and fruits are also being cooked with meats, as will be noted later. From the health standpoint more may he done in this direction with advantage, especially in these days of increasing indigestion, for the natural process of indigestion by Or.ids in the body organs is greatly aided by the acids and peptones in fruits their action being especially valuable in the case of the fats which are so abundant in the heavier foods. The earlier instructive use of fruits as dessert had its scientific badis in this last fact hut the more intimate association of fruits with the ;

those days the glowing
light of the sun seemed to the peoPle; looking up. at it like a great eve watching all day' long, so they called it the " day's eye," because it watched only during the day. Now I wonder if y cal have guessed what the little rlower's name is because it looks so much like the sun ? Well, then I will tell you. It is " d-a-iRut its long-ago name was S-Y-." "day. 's eye."

courses is desirable, and ,ve may well take a leaf from some &astern cooks books, as, for example those of the Persians, who 'seem to make a line art of the combination of fruits and meats. The knuckle of a leg of mutton, which is not exactly a delicacy when cooked plainly according to the ordinary methods in vogue here, emerges as a delicious dish, we are told by English residents in Persia, when it is ste,ved with butter and either unripe or preserved fruits, e.g., raisins or prunes, and eaten with rice. Another combination highly reputed is partridge stewed with butter, scraped walnuts, and Pomegranate juice. From nearer home, within the borders of our own land, in fact, come many suggestions from cooks who have evolved very acceptable combinations of fruits and savouries, some of which, at any rate, might he well tried by every scientific household manager. BANANAS : may he saved toast, having been split, then cut across, browned carefully in butter, and sprinkled carefully with salt. Or binary thin buttered toast may he used or slices fried in butter. Split or sliced and baked in a little butter bananas form a nice 'garnish for

being served with it. A iELICIOUS BANANA PUREE FOR CUTLETS, ETC. is made thus: Peel five large bananas and rub them through a hair sieve. Melt roz. of butter in a stewpan, and turn it into the banana pulp, together with the beaten yolk of one cook. gently until a paste is formed, and serve very hot. BANANAS sliced and fried in butter are served with poached eggs on toast, and they also win appreciation when fried with bacon, and help to form portlier "savoury" salads, e.g., sliced arranged between layers ef sliced orange and pine -apple (fresh or tinned), and dressed with maonnaise sauce. I
BANANA CANTALOUP is another form, for which the fruits must be left on ice for twelve hours, then Peeled, cut into thicle slices, and arranged around a small glass howl of ice on a dish covered with a napkin. The banana slices may either be Piled up round the howl or put together in their original position. Serve at once, with salt and krona pepper. Another acceptable .c ay of serving bananas without any special preparation is with salt and Pepper and thin brown bread and butter, with which a glass of milk forms a sustaining light lunch for busy People in the middle of the morning. APPLES also are excellent prepared in various ways with condiments instead of sugar. They may, for example, he combined in wafer slices with orange and banana in a salad, such as that already described, with mayonnaise dressing (for which pears are also suitable) or fried in fat (sliced) and served with fried liver, and bacon, sausage or other savoury. A slice or two introduced into a hot -pot, Trish stew, or rechauffee of mutton greatly add to the !layout'. ;
