there was a maiden who wouldn't be polite ; Wouldn't say "Good morning" and wouldn't say "Good night!" Felt it too much trouble to think of saying "Please," Slammed the door behind her as if she'd been a breeze Wouldn't ask her mother if she could take a run Ran way and lost herself because it was "such inn." Merry little maiden Isn't it too ;

For the Table Tomtit., 1"rittcr,. Take ilb of tomatoes, the yolks of two ego and white of one egg, one heaped tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of vinegar, a little flour, and a pinch of sugar. Slice the tomatoes and fry in the butter until tender ; then rub them through a sieve. Add the eggs (well beaten), vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir into this as much flour as will make a stiff batter. Have ready some hot fat in the frying pan, and drop one large dessertspoonful into it at a time, and fry a light brown. Drain and serve hot. To Boil a Ham Without Much Fuel. -Place the bam in a boiler, cover with cold water, and allow it to toil for one hour, then cover up all crevices to keep in the steam, and leave for about 2 hours. The ham will be thoroughly cooked, and if the hour's boiling is done in the afternoon it will be ready for use next morning. There is economy in this T

dwell in peace." The lightning tired the dry grass and Man was burned. Man went to sea, and reared a house on the skeleton of the earth. He made its supports of rock, its roof of slate. "Now. I am safe," said Man. "No tree nor fire can injure me now." The earthquake came, and the house of stone tumbled down on the head of Man. Man went to where a great river flowed and raised banks to hold back its flood. Nearby ,he put his house. "I have ordered the course of the waters," said Man, "and now I shall lived unvexed by them." Soon came the flood sand covered the place where he had lived, and drove away Man. Man piled for his uses stone on stone cunningly upheld by steel and
mortar. "Fire I can now defy," said Man. "It cannot harm me here."
The flames came, and Man tied as they destroyed the work of his hand. Man put steel to steel and wrought wisely a ship, strong, staunch, and trite, From the sky he took the lightning to guide its course and warn it of danger. "In this my ship," said :bin, " I shall pass over the waters as I will, and none that is in them nosy wound or injure me." Came tide and current ani ice and crusheel the ship that Man built.

Gossip
The Moving Picture (From the "Baltimore ,Sun.")
A MEAN AND COWARDLY
HABIT. The purposeless gossip is bad enough, but ,there is a worse type, the gossip who has a mission, who "thinks it her duty" to do harm. Such a gossip as this happened into a church-of all places to ply her art !-and a pure, sweet voice in the choir held her attention. She thought she recognised it. A former schoolmate had just such a voice. But if it were the schoolmate, she should not be singing in a choir. After the innocent school life had come another when the young singer bad taken the wrong road ; but she turned back, and leaving the home of her girlhood she went to a big city to begin anew. She worked hard for an honest living, and attended church regularly. Her voice brought her an invitation to join the choir. She was as happy as anyone could be under the circumstances-until the gossip found her out. Repulsed by the virtuous, her efforts to lead a good life set at naught by worldly judgment, the poor girl turned her steps once more into the downward path that was, so easy to follow. And she never again turned back There is a mistaken idea that on women gossip. The fact Is there are men who can outclass any women in length of tongue and willingness to use it. Any political campaign proves this assertion. Some party leaders run the whole range !
from gossip to vituperation and slander, and if they do not succeed in
establishing anything else they certainly do establisn a reputation for being character -killers. In less arduous times many men spend their leisure in trivial discussions of social follies or of the failings of their fellow members of various orramisatons. Debates on subjects worth

The moving picture mores, and, having moved, moves on ; nor all Your piety nor wit can call 'back half a film nor the police wipe out one glance of it. Preventive measures alone are effective-inspection of the films before they are exhibited to the public. After objectionable pictures have been shown it is too late to stop them. The picture theatre reaches millions, and could be made a ,4Plendid agency for instruction as well as amusement. It is a Pity that all too often suggestiveness and crime. are pictured, putting bad notions into the minds of the young. Boys and girls are the most constant patrons of the picture parlours. They are at the most impressionable age, and they should be protected from unwholesome suggestions. Censorship of films and theatres seems to offer the only effective remedy.
Protestant's
Impression of Lourdes
Under the above heading, Mr. George H. Jessop (author of "Desmond O'Connor," etc.) contributes to the April issue of "Munsey's Magazine" a notable article in which he describes his visit to Lourdes. What appealed to him most was the faith of the pilgrims, all of whom were purified and exalted to their sojourn to the famous grotto. Through this sublime power of bringing happiness to its devotees, Lourdes, he thinks, would have well fulfilled its mission "even though never a cure could be placed to its credit." "But," he adds, "this is far from the cage. Ascribe the cause to what Yon will, cures do occur for which science cannot account." He then Proceeds to tell of en instance which came under his own personal ohservation. On the journey he spoke a few words of sympathy to a crippled girl, whose extreme pallor and emaciation made him wonder that she had lived through the long weariness of travelling. She suffered From tuberculosis of the spine, and rhysicians had given up her case as hopeless, one of them who was with
the pilgrimage saying that she coufd
not live an hour. So had was her
appearance and condition that before Lourdes was reached her shrunken frame had been anointed for death. And yet that cripple was thoroughly cured within four or five days after her arrival ! Be faithful in every jot and tittle. The smallest infidelity is like a stitch dropped in knitting ; it spoils the whole work.
Let us all resolve, first, to attain the grace of silence second, to deem all fault-finding that does not good a sin, and to resolve. when we are happy ourselves, not to poison the atmosphere for our neighbours by calling nn them to remark every painful and disagreeable feature of their daily life third, to practice the grace and virtue of praise. ;
