ttgt Ice Cream a New Dainty for the
^ Fair Sex.
"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

The Ranchwoman.
The success of Mrs. W. N. 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. Mrs. Sherman has not
confined her efforts to ratein growing
alone, but has a national reputation as
a stock raiser and fruit grower.?Pilgrim.

i HONEST PHYSICIAN.
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

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

polygamy, wo have left behind us long te<

Saviour. Place: Jerusalem, the pr<
phet Isaiah's home. This is the dee]
est and loftiest of the Old Testamei
prophecies, and points clearly and del
nitely to the atonement. The life an
mission of Christ is related in fe1
words embracing humiliation, suffei

main thought is that the Servant is t
be the instrument in establishing tb
true religion, by removing the Imrde
of guilt and bringing uiauy to ligk

judgments of God which had falle

despised the warnings of the proplie
Jeremiah, and mocked the messenger
of God. Then the city was taken b
the Babylonians. The house of Go
was burned, the wall about the elf
broken down, the palaces were burne
and the vessels from the temple wer
carried to Babylon. The sous of Zed<

h Jesus went to his own people with
d his gospel, and sent out first his disn
ciples to their neighbors and country- r.
men. This was eminently wise and
^ practicable. There is an element in f
* home missions that appeals to every A
s Christian. We have no sympathy with
[ that sentimental talk about home mis- .
sions that has no real "interest in any iC
? mission work. Some people excuse
^ themselves from all missionary work \
0 on the plea that we have "heathen at ?
home." But aside from all this there
is a special claim on us to consider
Q the spiritual needs and wants of our ir
s neighbors and our own nation. The
e Home Mission field is the United
?- States in all its length and breadth. f,i
n What the Jews wefe to Jesus, and f,.
s what their countrymen were to the ri
n first disciples, so the inhabitants of b:
I. America are to us. We must save
p Amar.t/.o ?n ntvipr tn save the world.
h The field is wide and difficult, but I K*
' hopeful and inspiring. We have gath- i _\]
e ered in our home field the cosmopoli- i
n tan races of the world. We have in
? our home missions the nucleus of mis- ^
_ sions to all nations of the earth.
v Methodist home missions may be
^ roughly divided Into two classes, the ]<
y English-speaking and the non-English- ^
(j speaking. 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*

* 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. West and Northwest was formerly J1

home missions have played an Import- sl

n- A Maid of Honor in Fact.
ie The late Lady Bloomneld was a
3f maid of honor and published a book ^
a> of reminiscences relating some very
intimate incidents of her years at
,j. court. 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
