WHAT IS . TRUE LIBERTY? Where Do We Find the Greatest Freedom In This Sin Bound World. Being made free from sin, ye be»~ came the servants of righteousness. â€"Rom. vi. 18. St. Paul speaks of the Romans as of those who had been servants of sin, but had been delivered of this servitude and brought to the glorious liberty of the children of God. All that are born of the flesh are naturally servants of sin. To acknowledge that is the beginning of true liberty. Owing to the fact that the servitude of sin wraps itself in the garb of liberty, it is not so easy to distinguish true and false liberty, and many are deceived by looking only at the outward appearâ€" ance. When the cabmen of London struck, many years ago, the public began to realize how useful they had been, and the outcry that fol- lowed quickly led to a settlement. 'And it will be remembered by Lon- doners how their patience was taxed by the numerous strikes of motor- omnibus drivers. There never was a general strike, and for this Lonâ€" doners had to be thankful, but hun- dreds of thousands of residents in and around the metropolis were held up morning and night by the withdrawal of omnibuses, says Lon- don Answers. True hberty is righteousness. Sin is offering all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them to those who will fall down and wor- ship it, and many a miserable slave of sin bound in uncompromising servitude finds no time to seek the glorious liberty of the children of God, thinks himself free and inâ€" dependent because sin allows him to sow to the flesh, to follow his natural inclinations and PASSIONS UNRESTRAINED. Though there is no law given to the justified, his love will limit the exercise of his freedom in much larger measure than could ever be attempted by law. Many a thing which no law forbids, which he is at liberty to partake, a. Christian Will not touch, becmuse in his indi- WHEN WORKMEN STRIKE MAKING THE PUBLIC PAY FOR LABOR’S LAPSES. Greatest Injury Falls Upon Those Who Have Had Nothing to Do With Strikes. The danger of a great railway strike, with its fearful consequenc- es, was happily averted a short time ago; but in 1897â€"8 the public gained some idea, of the inconveni- ences which it would have brought atout. That was the time of the engineers’ strike, and, of course, the secession of the men responsiâ€" ble for the motive power of our railways partially paralyzed the companies. In the early seventies England heard with equanimity of a. strike cf Welsh colliery workers. There was general sympathy, and a hope that the trouble would be settled; but when housewives began to pur- chase fresh supplies of coal they :quickly awakened to the serious- ness of the situation. When the price rose to two shillings and even to three shillings per hundred- weightâ€"as it did in Londonâ€"they became alarmed. The misery pro- ‘Iduoed by that strike is still un- paralleled. Supposing the police force of a great city went on strike? One can easily imagine the panic that would lensue amongst householders, and the corresponding joy of the army of criminals. Most people will be inclined to laugh at the mere no- tion, yet in the early ’nineties there was a. mutiny at Bow Street sta- tion, when about one hundred and thirty men refused to go on duty. Many attempts on property occurâ€" red that night. LONDON DOCK STRIKE. The great London dock strike taught several useful lessons to numerous persons who had heard of the British workman and his grievances, and taken little or no Interest in them. The man in the street soon came to regard it as more than a local affair. He was directly interested in the enormous rise in the price of French eggs and «other perishahle oommodities. It isAgenerally known that many WELSH COAL STRIKE. vidual case it might harm body or soul in the course of time, or it- might offend ,a, Iellow believe/.12 Christian liberty is not a license to do what we please, but a, desire to do what is expedient. Nothing may hinder us from go- ing into a coal mine all dressed in white, but how we will come out again is a different question. Like- wise nothing may hinder us to walk in the counsel of the ungodly and stand in the way of sinners garbe'l in the white robe of Christ’s righte- ousness, but who can tell how we will come back? That’s why St. Paul advises “See that ye walk cir- cumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,” lest the golden crown of freedom be transformed into THE IRON CHAIN OF SIN. The greatest liberator and emanci- pat/or says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” In Him who took upon Him the form of a servant, who became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, that He might deliver us from all sins, from death and from the power of the devil, we find true liberty, and the more we become like Him the more we be- come free from sin and servants of righteousness. I l , railway systems on the Continent are Stateâ€"owned. In Austria rail- way employees are in a similar poâ€" sition to soldiers on active service â€"a strike would be treated as a. mutiny. But when they wished to have certain grievances remedied they adopted most novel methods. Instead of ignoring their duties, they attended to them so complete- ly that the Governrnent yvas glad Thus, if a train were ordered to leave at four o’clock, it started pre« cisely at that time, and all persons in the act of getting in or out had to look after themselves, and try to avoid fatal accidents. Every passenger’s luggage was weighed with great ceremony, passports had to be shown twenty times in an hour, hundreds of blameless per- sons were detained and searched, railway carriages not answering to the regulation requirements were closed, and so on, until the public rose in protest. It can be said with all truth that a strike inflicts the greatest injury upon those who have had nothing to do with its origin, but who are forced into the fight by the eco- nomic conditions. The small trades- man, whose livelihood depends on the working classes, is the first to suffer. ' “391;; Godhele our people to strive after true liberty. égifie 71307 terms. In brief, their plan of compaign was to carry out their inutructions to the letter. PUBLIC PROTESTED. THE NEW CONSTANTINOPLE The City Is Cleared of Beggars and Criminals. Hopes for the future are brighter in the Turkish capital since Mah- mud Shevket Pasha’s “army of lib- erators” have taken possession of the city. Constantinople has now been cleared of a host of beggars, tramps, burglars, and assassins, which had hitherto made the capital their home. Arson has ceased and the streets are safe. Even the police about the9 town are hardly recognizâ€" able, fon, instead of the evilâ€"look- ing, dirty man of recent times, one meets toâ€"day a neatly-dressed ofliâ€" cial, who knows his duty and is re- spected by all. Even carriage drivers are feeling the change. 'Horses unfit for work may no longer be used, and the cab- men now find that they must feed their animals sufficiently if they want premission to ply for hire. In the argicultural provinces the roads and bridges are having at- tention. The mutinied First Army Corps is being usefully employed, unarmed, in reconstructing the roads about Monastir and Salonica, a special credit of nearly $400,000 having been added to the budget for this purpose. The Ministry of Pub- lic Works has also in hand the pre- paration of an elaborate scheme for roads and railways throughout the country. Electric lighting and necessary railway lines will soon be put in hand, giving work to the many unemployed, and encouraging the return of capital to the impov- erished empire. REV. ERNST A, TAPPERT. To Make Peach Jelly. â€" Cook peaches and add a few of the ker- nels; when done strain. Then drop the white of an egg in to clear, the same as making coffee. To one pint of peach liquor add one lemon, one pound of sugar. Dry and heat the sugar in a. separate pan and let the peach liquor boil for twen- ty minutes, then add the hot sugar and let all boil only a few minutes. This makes jelly same as other li- quors where otherwise peach 1i- quorrwill not jell. Chili Sauce.wTake five large on- ions, eight green peppers, and chop fine thirty ripe tomatoes cut in small pieces, five tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, three tablespoonfuls of salt, eight cupfuls of vinegar, and boil all together two and a half hours and bottle for use. Pieplant Marmalade. -- Four pounds of pieplant, peeled and out fine; four pounds of sugar, six oranges, chopped fine, with the yel- low rinds of three grated; one pound of almonds, blanched and chopped. Mix all together and cook until the pieplant is well done. Put into glasses with paraffin on top. This recipe makes twenty glasses. When Canning Pineapple. â€" Take pineapple and cut into one-half inch slices. Core each slice and then peel. By so doing time is saved and the eyes of the pineapple can easily be removed without any trouble. Leave in slices or out each slice into small pieJes and can as usual. Pineapple Hint.â€"-Purchas-e a sharp razor. Then with a sharp carving knife cut the pineapple in- 10 slices about oneâ€"quarter or one- eighth of an inch thick. Then with the razor peel the slices, taking out the eyes as you go along. There is no waste at all like there is with ,dull knives and pineapple snips, and such things. You can prepare three or four in this way in the time it used to take to prepare one in the old way. A good way to pro- tect the thumb in peeling any kind of fruit is to slip the end of a finâ€" ger of mi old riibber glove-over it. Sweet Corn I irkles.â€"â€"Take twelve ears of corn and cut grains from the cob ; add one small head of cab~ bage, one cupful of granulated sugar, one teaspoonful of turmer- ic, four onions, two tablespoonfuls of salt, two red peppers, one tableâ€" spoonful of ground mustard, one tablespoonful of flour, and one quart of vinegar. Chop all fine and cook about half an hour. Canned Cherriesâ€"Stone the cherries without bruising, drain, weigh, and to each pound allow a pound of sugar; add just enough water to melt the sugar, bring to boiling point and skim. Put in the cherries and push to one side of the range where they may remain hot, but not boiling, for at least an hour; then draw the kettle over the fire and cook slowly until the cherries are transparent. Skim, drain, sprinkle sugar over them, and place in a sieve in the sun or in an oven to dry. This syrup will an- swer for the boiling of several pounds of cherries. Cucumber Catsup Without Cook- ing.â€"-Grate the cucumbers and drain off the water through a col- ander; add six large onions chopâ€" ped fine to a gallon of grated and drained cucumbers; add vinegar, salt, pepper,(cayenne), and horse- radish to taste. Bottle it without cooking. Sandwich Hintâ€"Keep your one pound baking powder cans, and when baking days come bake your bread for sandwiches in them. You then have dainty rounds when siiced for your sandwiches. Lettuce Sandwiches.â€"Butter the round bread and slice thin, put crisp lettuce leaves on each piece, sprinkle with mayonnaise, and press pieces together. Chicken Sandwichâ€"Take left- over pieces of chicken, remove all bones, put meat through food chop- per, mix with mayonnaise dressing and spread on roundshof bread. V Peahut Sandwichâ€"Put peanuts through finest knife of food chop- per, salt and mix with enough Potted Ham Sandwichâ€"Mix two well chopped pickles with potted ham and splead on rounds. of thinâ€" 13' sliced bread.

Buffalo Bugs..-A11spice freely used will l:i11 buffalo bugs. A To Bid House of Flies.â€"Cut a, piece of screen wire about four by six inches and get a piece of lath long enough so you can reach the ceiling with it. Fold one of the narrow sides of screen over one end of the lath and fasten with tacks. Now wait until the light is lit. and they will all be on the ceil- ing. If you hit with a quick jerk it, will not harm the paper. _ Mignonette Drives Away Flies.â€" Mignonette is abhorred by flies, and in a room Where pots of the flower are set no fly will linger for a moâ€" ment. Now is the time to sow the seeds and for 'early blooming the pots must be 'subjected to gentle heat. Instead of flypapers and her. rible stic‘lxy brown mixtures left about a room in glass dishes, what a blessed resource as a deterrent to the irritating fly is the sweet, wholesome flower of mignonette. Mosquito Remedy.â€"-One of the best methods of clearing a room of mosquitoes and likewise moth mil lers: Put a piece of gum camphor on fire shovel and hold it over the lighted gas until it smokesâ€"it should not blaze up, but blaze slow- ly enough to form a good smudge. The doors (t closets and the bureau drawers should be opened if one fears that the moth millers have found their way in. Also twenty drops of carbolio acid evaporated from a hot- shovel will banish flies from a room. %+'f++++++++w%+++4~ New Shoe Helpâ€"If one has on new shoes away from home or the feet pain, they can be relieved by removing the shoes and letting the feet rest until the pains cease. Then the feet may be swollen, but can be crowded in the shoe for a minâ€" ute or two as long as one can stand the pain. Then remove the shoe again until the foot feels rested, when it will be found the foot will slip quite easily into the shoe, which may be worn quite a while without pain. An envelope of talcum pow- der carried purposely and dusted in the shoe helps out wonderfully. Tired Feetâ€"The best remedies for tired, sore. and painful feet are al- cohol, alum, boracic acid, salt, soda, talcum powder, and hot water. Burning Feetâ€"For burning feet dip them in hot water to which a little salt has been added. After ‘this sponge with alcohol, letting the spirits evaporate without dry~ mg. ++M~M-»:â€" Keep Feb Coolâ€"Strive to keep the feet c001. Astringents and antiseptics like boracic acid, alco- hol, and alum usually give gratifyâ€" ing results if used persistently. BABY’S GREAT DANGER DURING HGT WEATHER More children die during: the hot weather than at any other time of the year. Diar- rhoea, dysentery, cholera in- fantum, and stomach troubles come without warning, and when a medicine is not at hand to give prompt relief, the delay may prove fatalto the child. Baby’s Own Tab- lets should be kept in every home where there are chil-: dren during the hot weather months. An occasional dose of the Tablets Will prevent deadly summer complaints, or cure them if they come unâ€" expectedly. Mrs. O. Moreau, St. Tite, Que, says: “My baby suffered from a severe attack of cholera infanturn, but after giving him Baby’s Own Tablets the trouble dis- appeared, and he regained”? health splendidly.” Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Cong.

FOLLOWING DISEASE How often it is that the victims of diseaseâ€"fevers, measles, la grippe or any other contagious troubles are weak and ailing, even after the disease itself has disap- peared. They do not pick up strength as t'ey ought; remain listless, tired and discouraged. The reason for this is that the blood has been impoverished by the ravâ€": ages of the disease through which the victim has passed. ’Strength will not return until the blood is enriched. The blood can be en- riched by no other medicine as quickly and as surely as by Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peopleâ€"- ‘to enrich the blood and strengthen ‘the nerves is the whole duty of these pillsâ€"~th0usands have found them beneficial in bringing strength aften' disease had left them weak and runl down.

Its Very Name Carried Terror to the Stoutest Hearts. The Mollie Maguire Secret So~ ciety, which has figured so largely in a recent Irish political law case, was at one time the most dreaded organization of its kind in exist~ ence. The “Mollies” were generally strong, active young peasants, who went about the country at dead of night dressed in women’s clothes, and with their faces blackened, or otherwise disguised. They travel- led always in parties of four or five, and landlords and their agents. bailiffs, tithe proctors, process servâ€" ers, and the like, received short shrift at their hands. No one could be a member of the Older unless he was an Irishman, or of Irish descent, and so, in the end, it came about that the prin- Clpal aim and object of the Pennsyl- vania Mollies was to drive out of the district all miners of other na- tionalities. To attain this end, wholesale se- cret assassination was systemati- cally resorted to. Men were first warned. Then, if they declined to quit the country, or hesitated about. doing so, they were shot dead on their own doorsteps, or while they were going to, or returning from,‘ their work. l And no one dared Open their‘ mouths. For the whole country- side was terror-stricken. With Molly Maguires as judges, Molly Maguires as lawyers, Molly Marâ€"i guires as Witnesses, crime, it wasI considered, could be committed with impunity. i Sometimes they drowned their Victims in bogholes. Or they would hludgeon them so mercilessly as to leave hardly a whole bone in their bodies; or “card” them, by dragâ€" ging a cat up and down their bared backs. From Ireland the organization spread to America, and especially tu the coalâ€"mining districts of Pennsylvania, where for many years the more mention of its name carried terror to the stoutest hearts. The breaking up of the terrible mganization was due to the Pinko‘ ertâ€"ons, America’s worldâ€"famous den tectiv‘es, who sent their agents in- to the strongholds of the Mollies and ferretted out their innermosl'u secrets, with the result that, scorei‘ of them were taken and hanged.” in many cases for murders commit-1 ted years previously.
