"itave you heard of the new hot ice cream?" asked the woman who seems to know of all the new things almost before they come into existence. "It sounds piquant," said her companion, dryly. "Well, it is. and something more. It is served in one of the tea-andchatter rooms, where you go after a shopping tour to pile all bundles on a couch and sit in a bow window and tell your companion all the things that you always thought that you would never tell to any one. There are iron lanterns, instead of electric globes, and the maids wear linen frocks and don't slam things down before you." "And the hot ice cream?" "I'm coming to that. It is really a frozen pudding. It is made of vanilla Ice cream with boiled rice and ginger mixed with it and all frozen together. It hails from the Chinese quarter of San Francisco, and it tastes good and doesn't give one indigestion, as the cold-all-the-way-through ice cream Is apt to." p "Do you know what it sounds like to me?

Sherman and the beauty of her hospitable home, the famous Minnewawa ranch in California, should be an incentive to every woman to hold fast to the home instinct while winning her way in the business world. In the face of much opposition and caustic comment Mfs. Sherman, soon after leaving an eastern college, bought a large tract of unimproved land near Fresno, determined by her own efforts to develop its possibilities. Her success is indicated by the fact that Minnewawa is valued at over five times the original Investment. During the busiest season there are over 400 people at work on the ranch and in the \ cannery. Since discovering that by personal oversight of the packing her grapes brought from $100 to $500 more per carload than when left to the su pervision of others, Mrs. Sherman, very sagely concluded that a woman can be a real helper, even though she leave the care of the household to some- one else.

Works With Himself First. It Is a mistake to assume that phyj sicians are always skeptical as to the curative properties of anything else than drugs. Indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible, and by the use of correct food and drink. A physician writes from Calif, to tell how he made a well man of himself with nature's remedy: "Before I came from Europe, where ( I was born." he says, "it was ray custom to take coffee with milk (cafe au lait) with mv morning meal, a small cop (cafe noin after my dinner and two or three additional small cupg at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms developed, with pains in the cardiac region, and accompanied /y great depression of spirits, despondency?in brief, 'the blues!" I at first tried medicines, but no relief, and at last realized that i 7 all my troubles were caused by coffee. I thereupon quit its use forthwith, substituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but in time the old distressing symptoms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table beverS age. This I was compelled, however, "i to abandon speedily, tor white It reJ lieved the nervousness somewhat it brought on constipation. Then by a happy inspiration I was led to try the , Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago, and I still use it I am no longer nervous, nor do 1 suffer from ^ the pains about the heart while my 'blues' have left me and life is bright to me once more. I know that leaving off coffee and using Postum healed me, 4nd I make it a rule to advise my patients to use it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

George Currle. 1?. 1>.. preached in Holy Triiiity Church Sunday morning to the con- j.|t groua-ions of Holy Trinity anil St. , Ann's. 1 ?r. Clime's subject was j.t "Givwih." and lie selected for his text ;i]| II. Corinthians. v:4: "Not for that we '.n would be unclothed, but clothed upon." He said: jUI These words of the epistle express ro< the important principle that wherever .)0. there is vitality life not only adds to pi.' itself continually, but at the saute time [,,'j never throws away, never entirely loses to the essential elements that it has once succeeded in acquiring. That is to say, .,0* that all the time that life is putting 0:1 jj- ! raiment. as it were, or being "clothed t[,j upon"?say. in the flowers..or bush or v>.( insect or man. tor that part?all that ^.f time it ktH>ps the essentials of whatso- )(jever it lias invested itself with. And (j(> it is never perfectly unclothed of its j-., fundamental train.-: "not unclothed but xv"j clothed upon." Those princip'os hold p good 111 relation to life of every kind and under all conditions. It is one of jn tiie great keys of nature that have wj been furnished to us. and its uuiver- ti); sality springs from the fact tliat so the universe is fundamentally similar fjp in all its parts. 1 mean to say that the j)0 universe is constituted in such a man- u-( ner that the different plans of being. the physical, the intellectual, the moral, pj, the spiritual, all correspond to one an- tn other. So that whatsoever is true in ,l0 one is true in all of them. Mankind. c.jj in fact, has an instinct to that effect. tn Our ordinary words that we use in tp talking, for instance, for physical 110 things are mostly the same as those used for intellectual or spiritual things. tr. The word, "right" mea#s straight, and er' "straight" is constantly used by us in tj, a moral sense; the word "wrong" Jia means twisted or corrupt, and "cor- j,,. rupt" often means dishonest. The pf things that are seen are. that is to say. diviuely created pictures of the things g0 that are not seen; and it is a great Ir( satisfaction that we can have a trust- p0 worthy picture of spiritual things that tjj we can see. Our blessed Lord talked in parables, not because parables are g*;> simple, but because the truths ex- ^.j iirn.'ooil nnrahlM I.1? the loaf Of t.. broad or the raiment or the water from ^ the well, or the sparrow having his food prtTtfved for biui. or the lily setting its raiment without worrying y about it > are not merely physical truths?you must not fall into that blunder?they are truths that reach all * r the way up t.irougb all the plans to f!' the eternal kingdom. Our I>onl talked 0 in that way because He saw the whole Jn. of the plan, from the top to the bo:- *. torn, and He talked in no other way !,] to the people at large: "without a par- ^ able spake He not unto them." The plans, intellectual, moral and spiritual. ye are represented in the physical, and all ' of tliem are fundamentally alike. That Is why He talked in parables. gv Now come back to the general prin- 'u.. ciple before us. "not unclothed, but clothed upon." and let us see to it that {, we have the physical and material idea ; distinctly in our heads. Here, for in- ye stance, is the stump of a tree with the f() different rings of wood of which it is composed. Year by year tlie tree has put on new growth, which you can see in tlie successive rings. But all the j time tlwt it has been putting on the new rings it has never completely let go of the old ones, and the first ring of all is right i:i the centre all the time, i Let me give the little folk a simple il- .. lustration, that ihey may take it away * with them. Children, you turn an ap- f* pie on its side. Cut it down in the cen- J tre through and through. Then you have two halves, have you not? Well, f' < nt r.fr from either half a slice, very Thin, the thinner you cut it the better. ^ Then hold the slice up to the light. jf4' Now, what do you see'? You see in the ^ centre, distinctly,* the dark outline of the original blossom that was <fh the fa apple tree in the springtime. Now, take some examples of this m* principle. There is the Bible, for in- ^ * stance. It is a liviug book. 1 mean bv that it was not flung down from the .. sky, like a meteorite, so as to land like Joseph Smith's Bible somewhere -u a ,'I! valley all made up and ready. It did <4? not eoine that way; but it grew 111 the ,? world like an oak or pine tree; and. ae- Av< cording to what the Saviour says about c0 the Holy Ghost continually teaching iu co the Avord in successive ages, tho Bible, u* which is God's truth or ihe word of s^; God, is. in a manner, still growing. Do ?f\ you know that'? It is coming out in ; parts. It is life from beginning to end. It unfolds, not a single period of man's *a history only, but siiecessive stages iu ~!' the growth of the human mind. There- VQI fore it contains, like a tree, successive 11 ^ rings, as it were, greatly contrasted one with another, widely differing one from another. In one ring, so to speak. 1 it is "an eye for an eye and a tooth for w< a tooth." Literally, exact justice. In no another ring it is. "If a man strike thee ov 011 the one cheek turn to him the other H( also." In the one ring, vengeance; in tin the other, no vengeance. The Bible, as en T said, thus unfolds to us successive Go apes in the spiritual growth of man. po Some of its stages, or rings, such as ( polygamy, wo have left behind us long te< ago: some we have not yet reached, Bu The Sermon on the Mount especially tal stretches out and away to the future is perfection of the race, when a nation ?rj like Itussia will ho an impossibility, pie At the present time, ycgi know, all ua* bit tions take brute animals for their rep- to resentative coat of arms, because they in all have the brute in them. The time frc will come when the bear and the .ion ??< and the bird of prey shall all be ground Ch out of humanity, and the work he fill- ii;i filled when he that is struck on one Re. cheek will turn the other also, and the race will become, as it never has 'bocome. Christian. And yet whatsoever has been true remains true forever. J While the Bible gives us the stovy ica of the Gospel, it continues to retain fe\ the law in the Book of Deuteronomy. 0f Calvary does not blot out Siliai. They ^el are related to one another. You must 10; know the law before you can know the .. Gospel. You often hear of people he- 1 ing extremely willing t<> forgive. What l>a is their forgiveness worth?

The English-speaking eme brace all the work in our Annual Con- u ferences which receive help as well as st j the mission work of the great Northd west. The non-English-speaking include the fourteen different national!- n s ties to which we send missionaries In s our own land. They are the Welsh, n Swedish, Norwegian. Danish, German, ~ i. French. Spanish, Chinese. Japenese, _ i* Bohemian. Italian, Portuguese. Finn> ish and American Indians. Besides the hundreds of ministers helped by a the Missionary Society in Annual Conferences, we have about 350 mission* * -* - AAA MAVMKawo ' | aries preacning 10 ca.wv mcmuc.o, * with between 450 and 500 churches * and Sunday schools in this field. About one-half?forty-five per cent.? , ? of all our collections for missions go ,j to this home field. Many of the peo ;t pie converted in these home mission n fields go back to their native land d bearing the seed of a new and better 7. faith. Thus the home work is a ^ valuable feeder, and. sometimes the .. founder, of foreign missions. Nearly y e, all of our self-supporting work in the n.

The result, the London corre,0 spondent of the Manchester Guardian tells, was that the queen forbade her ladies to keep dairies while they were ti in waiting, and from that rule grew t< ! one of the neatest repartees that the p i heart of the profe. !onal diarist could desire. A young lJf-'y who had just been appointed a m id of honor was * receiving congrati^tions at a party, ? and her host said: "What an inter, ie esting journal you can keep!" The girl told him that journal keeping was forbidden, and the answer was: "But I think I should keep one all the a same." "Then," said the girl, "whatever you were you would not be a maid oX honoy." i . Tumors Conqm With Jnqualified Success of Vegetable Compound and Miss Adams. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia ' !.
