Morgan RASPBERRIES ARE 'IN" "Giving the family the raspberry" is something every hoanemaker should indulge in at least once a year. But it takes on its original meaning these days when the rosy- toned berries have come on the mar- ket. They are fine berries this year, too. having had good rains in June to make them luscious. Raspberries make delicious des- serts and variations from the 'ber- riea-and-cream theme give the cook a ohance to serve more of the fresh fruit. Raspberry Fluff Is nutritious and a perfect finish for a light lunch or cold plate summer dinner. RASPBERRY FLUFF 1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca ','» cup sugar % teaspoon salt 1 or 2 egg yolks 4 cups milk 1 or two egg whites, stiffly beaten 1 teaspoon flavouring I cup fresh raspberries % cup whipped cream Combine quick-cooking tapioca, sugar, salt, egg yolk, and milk on top of double boiler and stir enough to break egg yolk. Place over rapidly boiling water, bring to scalding point (allow 5 to 7 minutes) and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from boiling water. Fold a small amount into egg wihite; add to re- maining tapioca mixture and blend. Coolâ€" mi.\ture thickens as it cools. Add flavouring and chill. Then fold in whipped cream and slightly crush- ed barrios. Pile in sherbet glasses. Garnish with a few whole or crushed berries and additional w.hipped cream. Raspberry flavour can easily pre- served for winter now. Long ago. it was impossible to make raspberry jelly because the fruit is deficient in that jelly-making substance called pestin. But the new short boil recipes give a perfect raspberry jelly with all the colour and flavour of the fresh ripe fruit. It is made in a few minutes at "low cost from this test- ed recipe. * « * CURRIES TAKE CARE OF LEFTOVERS to the sauce when ready to add tlie me,.-t. Alii.ost any kind of left-over meat may be reheated In tills sauce and served in a border of well cooked rice. Or cheap cuts of meat may be cut in dice and browned quickly m hot fat. Then stmmer them in the sauce on top of the stove or In the oven, casserole fashion, until tender, A cheap cut of lamb is delicious cooked this way. Fisii and eggs are also good curried. Hard boil eggs and reheat in sauce. If you are entirely unfamiliar with the taste of curry It may help you in judging the amount to use it you know that curry powder is a combin- ation of several condiments, including coriander seeds, tumeric and fenu- greek seeds as well aa other spices. It naturally varies in strength, flavor and "bite" according to its composi- tion, so it's a good idea to use it sparingly at first. * * • OMELETTES Off For Crimes Talks Some 01 the housewives like curried dishes in restaurants but evidently suppose thorn to be too complicated for homo manufacture. iteally, curry is easy to u-e and a fine change once in awhile for the family. A good way to use up left-overs, too, and make them look ••partiHed" at the same time. Curry sauce was designed original- ly to make the East ludalus' Inevit- able bowl of rice more palatable and to stimulate lagging appetites during hot weather. Paradoxical as it may sound. ti\t' highly seasoned sauce doe.s tempt the appetite and is a good addition to summer menus. Curries loou nice, because you put the rice on a hot serving dish to form a border and the vegetables, meat or whatever the foundation may be in the centre. Here's youi' basic curry rule, modi- fied to please Western palates. CURRY SAUCE One vcaut tablespoon curry pow- der, 1 table spoon flour. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 cups tomato juice or meat broth, 1 (Miion, 1 tablespoon chutney sauce, 114 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, V3 teaspoon salt, 1/S teaspoon pepper. Melt butter and stir in curry pow- der and flour. Cook and stir until frot'hy. Slowly add tomato juico or me;it broth, stirring constantly. When smooth add minced onion, chutney, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer for thirty minutes. It chut- ney sauce is not available, chopped cucumber rings or minced sweet pickle may be used. If you like you may add 1 tablespoon claret or port There are many who say â€" and try to prove â€" that omelettes are ditficult to make. We do not want to minimize the talent of our fellow-cooks. But we should like to see those talents wid- er spread. And particularly in the matter of omelettes. They are easy. Try, and see. But there is one essential to a good ome- lette â€" absolute puncualify of those intending to eat it. Keep them wait- ing, rather than the omelette! 1. Put a very strong, siiallow fry- ing pan to get hot. 2. Break your eggs and lightly beat the yolks and whites together. Do not whisk. 3. Season well. If you want chop- ped ham, herbs, or mushrooms, etc., put them in now. Add no ot<her mois- ture whatever. 4. Put a piece of butter â€" the size of a walnut â€" in the pan. It will sizzle and spit. It it browns, pour it away and put in another bit. 5. Pour in the eggs. As the sides begin to set, slip a turner bjneath them to allow the more liquid part to run beneath. Do not stir, but put turnet- under tie centre to prevent it sticking. 6. While there is still a lot of yel- low, runny mixture, take the pan from the fire, and slip the turner under the mixture on the handle side ot the pan. (There ia no denying that tiiit; needs practice.) A Spanish omelette Is served flat. and contains small pieces of potato, pimento, tomato and oniou. A bacon omelette is also flatâ€" well seasoned and with a rasher of bacon whole upon it or pieces of cooked bacon may be added to egg mixture. « * • BEAN SALAD Lewis E.

But his hand was forced â€" for- tunately, you will agree â€" by the appearance in En.aland of copies of the American edition, from which he received not a penny of the pro- fits, nor had he the least say in its publication. "The question was now merely whether Macaulay and Lon.cmans (his English publishers) or Carey and Hart, of Philadelphia (the .\nierican publishers) should supply the Englislt market- with them." adds Mr. Bryant. So the "lOsays" were published in En.gland, and won an instantane- ous success. s UNDAY £H22Lesson >t= LESSON VI.â€" August 11. DANIEL (TEMPERANCE AND HEALTH).â€" Daniel 1: 8-20. GOLDEN TEXT.â€" Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is In you, which ye have from God?â€" I. Corinthians 6: 19. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time. â€" Daniel was taken to Jeru- salem in 597 B.C., while, no doubt, a young man about sixteen years ot age. The date of his death is not recorded in the Scriptures, though we know he lived at least into tiie third year ot the reign ot Cyrus, 534 B.C. Place.â€" The land ot Sblnar ia the early name tor the land of Babylonia. "But Daniel purposed In his heart that he would not defile iiimself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he re- quested ot the prince of tiie eunuchs that he might not defile himself. " The meat might be that ot animals not slaughtered in the proper manner (Dent. 12: 23, 24), or of animals pro- hibited tor Jews as food (Lev. 11; 4. 20), Willie both the meat and the wine might have been consecrated to the Babylonian gods by portions hav- ing been offered to them ia sacrifice so that to partake of either would be tantamount to the recognition of a heathen deity. â- 'Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in Uie sight ot the prince ot the eunochs. The meaning here appears to bo that this kindness was extended to Daniel at the very time his request was made. ".\nd the prince of eunochs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord tiie king. who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head witii the king.' The Hebrew original ot the phrase, "worse looking," means, "mo- rose, disagreeable, looking sad, and here, a pitiful look in consequence of inferior food, corresponding to the "sad countenance' ot Matt. 6: 18. "Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunochs had appointed over Daniel, Hananlah, Mishael and Azariah." Daniel is not content to abide by the adverse ver- dict ot the prince ot the Euuochs. His conviction is so deep that Jie is going to do his utmost to obtain per- mission to live aS he thinks God would have him live. In this verse, he addresses another request to a subordinate oflficial. "Prove thy servants. 1 beesech ttliee. ton days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink." Pulse, in the original Hebrew word, refers to those things which are sown, the Greeks translating the word as sper- niato, literally, seeds. Of course, we do not know w.hat particular plants were included in this particular diet. but certaiiily it was strictly limited to vegetables. "Then let our eounlenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's dainties," God has cre- ated and formed the iruman body so t)--M the face, that part ot the body M' n by every one we meet, becomes an oicn book, wherein are written all our deeds and thoughts, which to- gel>her make up our character. "And as thou seest, deal with thy serv- ants." It was not in offensive self- assertion that these youths declined the king's viands. An obstrusive pi- ety is never ot God. True religion is always courteous, modest and anxious to avoid unnecessary collisions. "So he hearkened unto them in Mils matter, and proved them ten days. " No doubt he watched the experim- ent with greatest interest; it surely was something he had not had the opportunity ot previously observing. "And at the end of ten days their countenance appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat ot t>he king's dainties." Men and women who live simply, whose fare is wholesome, who do not allow themselves to overin- dulge their appetites, almost alway^ have a healtihier appearance that those who eat rich food in large ate undance. "So the steward took away theU dainties, aand the wine that tbei should drink, and gave them pula^ It would nBt be hard to keep to th< simple diet the first ten days; It wa< after it had become the daily routing ot these youths that they would of< ten be tempted to secretly enjoy aomi of the rlciier food and drink thei had voluntarily declined. "Xow aa tor these four youtlia( God gave them knowledge and 3kil( in all learning and wisdom." Tha( it is from God wo ultimately hav< all true wisdom, see, e.g., Ex. 31: 3| 3; Isa. 28: 26; Joh 32: S; Jaa. 1: 5j 3: 17. "And Daniel had understandlnj in all visions and dreams." On latel visions, see 2: 19; 7: 1-15; 8: 1, ^ 13-17, 26; 8: 21-24. For his later lni terpretation ot dreams, see ohaptert 2 and 4, and 5: 12. "jVnd at the end of the days whicJ) the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuclu brought them in before Nebuctuid< nezzar." Nebuchadnezzar unconficU ously. and doubtless undesignedly, did a great service to mankind bj his purpose to seek out the talent ot the Hebrew captives, and giving H an opportunity to expand, and t< ripen into usefulness. "And the king communed witU them." Literally, talked with them. I( was an oral examination. "And am^ ong them all was found none liki( Daniel, Hananiaii, Mishael .ind Aza^ riah: therefore stood they before th< king." That is, they were officially appointed to royal favor, to carry ou( the wishes of the king in more Im. iwrtant matters of state, because o( their unquestioned superiority, physl- cally and Intellectually. ".\nd in every matter of wLsdom and understanding, concerning whicB the king inquired ot them, he found them ten times better than all th« magicians and enchanters tiiat wer< in all his realm." The magiciana were those skilled In the learning ol their age. especially in the interpro. tation of literature of the sciences o< that day. The fame of Lord Baden-Powell as a military scout is world-wide, but there was one occasion when, aa he confesses, "I was taken down a peg in my boasted tracking by a young lady."' She was the daughter of the late Lord Meatli. Here is tha story â€" tolii by the foumier of th« Boy Scout movement (in "Lessons of a Lifetime") : "As we were walking in tiie gar- den she suddenly pointed to iooU. prints on the path and asked whab they meant. "I said indulgently: '.A. common or garden cat has recently passed this way.' " 'Yes, even I could, tell that,' she replied, 'but 1 can further tell what was the color of the cat â€" can you?" « ♦ • "This put me on my mettle and I set to work to examine any twig or spray that might have caught ,S hair from the animal. But search at I would I could find no clue thai would indicate the color of thai cat. My companion looked at th< track again closely and said: 'Yet I am not mistaken. It was a ligU tortoise-shell cat.' "I also looked more scarchingil on the ground but it nave back ni helpful, sign .\t loii.Lt last I confel sed myself beaten. "'How did you arrive at the ca or."
