HUMORS OF
a
"Bulls" by Clergymen Arouse
.Mirth of Their Hearers.
Bad Judgment Sometimes Displayed
by Preachers In the Selection of
Their Texts Curate's Odd
Exordium.
New Yock It wan Dr. Cosmo dor
don Lang, archbishop of York, who.
when ho was bishop of Stopnoy, ro
marled, apropos of tho chlldron of tho
cast end: "They aro doing a great
deal to robuko tho tendency of tho
clorgy to bocomo middle aged in spir
it dull, moroso and superior." And
ho told ono of his favorite Btorlon of
im cast end cleric, who was feeling
llfoless and dlsconsolato on setting out
on his dally round of visits, when a
SJttlo street urchin looked up at him
.'with a cheerful oyo and knowing smllo
and said:
"Ullo, young man!"
"That greeting qulto reassured tho
parson for tho rest of tho day," Dr.
Lang declurea.
And It was Dr. Ingram, bishop of
London, who onco declared that a
"senso pf humor Is essential to suc
cess. If a young man has no senso of
humor I would kcop him at collego
until ho got one."
Dut, although many clergymen seom
to lack that senso of humor which is
so essential If their work 1b to bo suc
cessful nnd popular, thoro aro occa
sions when they themsolvcs aro tho
cause, unconsciously, of much amuso
mont to others. Tho Itov. W. Cowan
tolls, for instance, how tho "bull" at
times arou&oB tho risibilities of tho
congregation and plays havoc with tho
solemnity of tho occasion.
"Brothron, I bog of you to tako hold
of your heart and look it straight in
tho face"
Tho following is said to havo been
a preachor'8 peroration: "Wo pursue
tho shadow; tho bubblo' bursts, It
loaves tho ashes in pur hands." A
London preacher a shorty tlmo ago In
vited "young mon and women of all
nges to attend his meetings, which re
minds ono of tho memorable exordium
of tho nervous curate: "Young ladlos,
or perhaps I should say young women,
for I wish to embraco you all." Nerv
ousness is, indeed, accountablo for
somo curious mistakes nnd laughablo
Incidents. Tho preacher must have
boon nervous who gavo out this toxt:
"Heaviness may enduro for Joy, but
night cometh in tho morning."
Apparently it Is dangorous for tho
young clergyman to fish for compli
ments. There is a story of a rovorond
dlvlno who onco asked a sexton how
ho liked tho sormon. "I didn't llko it
at all," candidly answered that worthy.
"Why, pray?" Inquired tho prcachor.
"First, bocauso you road It; secondly,
hccauBo it wbb not worth reading."
And thero was another young man
very vnin of his accomplishments as
a prcachor, "who, aftor olllclatlng at a
certain Borvico for a Scottish mlnlstor
who occasionally had to avail hlmnolf
of tho asslstanco of probationers, wns
met by thq old gcntlemnn with extend
ed hands as ho descended from tho
pulpit. Expecting high prnlso, ho said,
"No compliments, I prny," "Nay, nay,
my young friend," said tho parson,
"nowadays I'm glad o' anybody."
Mr. Cowan polnta out that preach
ers have a romarkablq lack of com
mon bcnso when choosing tholr texts.
IIo has heard of an Edinburgh minis
ter who preached n sermon on a mis
erly brother cleric from tho ordn,
"And tho beggnr dlod." Another clorlo
in preaching to a socloty of physlclatiB
announced ns his text: "A certain wo
man . . . had suffered many things
of many physicians nnd had spont all
that alio had, nnd wns nothing better,
hut rather grow worse."
This is a Htory, too, told of an old
evangelical clergyman who had a son
in orders. Tho young man became a
full blown ritualist. On ono occasion
tho futhor paid a vlBlt to his son, who
asked him to preach In his chinch.
For soma tlmo tho old man refused,
but prnsscd to do so, ho at length

consented, nnd choso tho text, "Dprd,
havo mercy upon my son, for ho Is a

SOME THANKSGIVING GOODIES.
Tho time-honored dishes which aro
inseparable from Thanksgiving nro
so often discussed that a few differ
ent ways of serving tho common veg
etables may bo of interest at this
time.
BeoiH that aro baked In tho oven

Placo a piece of butter on tho top

and bako a fow minutes covered, then
romovo tho cover, sprinkle with but
tered crumbs and when brown, serve.
.Braised Cabbage. Aftor cutting a
good sized cabbage in half, soak it
In cold water for an hour or more.
Then boll quickly In plenty of boiling
salted water. Drain and remove tho
stalk from tho center, after cooking
twenty minutes. Put Into a sauco pari
ono sliced carrot, ono sliced turnip,
ono stalk of celery, a fow sprlga of
parsley, ono sliced onion and a bunch
of any herbs. Lay tho cabbage on
top, pour over two cupfuls of Htock
and boil until tender. Drain. Lay

When tho large, fresh mushrooms

and then bake In a hot oven fifteen
minutes.
Smlld nwhlle, and while
You smllo another smiles,
And Boon there's miles

This delicious nut is so good in
many ways that those who aro for
tunato enough to havo plenty aro to
bo congratulated.
As a stuffing for fowl they aro a
great dollcacy. Boll and mash and
season well with butter, salt and red
pepper. Tho addition of bread crumbs
helps In filling a lnrgo turkey. Mush
rooms or oysters may ho substituted
for part of tho chestnuts. If so desired.
Onion, thymo or sago Is ndded for sea

mashed and seasoned, are a delicious
'dish served as a vegetable.

HINTS WORTH KNOWING.
Hero is n suggestion' for fixing a
pine or soft wood floor which Is cer
tainly Invaluable. Smooth off tho
floor, filling all tho cracks with filler
or putty, and then palm It with a coat
of sodium silicate (soluble glass), tho
samo thnt Is used to pre&crva eggs.
It will, also preserve floors and save
tho back of tho woman who has to
scrub and clean them. Tho water
glass will dry almost Immediately, und
throo coats should bo put on, ono right
after tho other. If you wish to chango
tho color of your floor, add yellow
ochro or Vandyke brown (water col
ors, not oil). Try on a board until
tho color desired is obtained. When
tho paint Is dry, cover It with n coat
of three parts boiled Unseed oil and
ono part Japan dryer, mixed. Any
kind of a floor or old furniture may
bo treated in this way.
Apply a raw white egg to a cut; it
will keep out foreign matter and allay
tho pain.
For a cough, a roasted lemon Is both
healing and pleasant to take. Roast
tho lemon carefully until thoroughly
hot, then Bqueezo thp juice Into a
cup containing a few tablespoonfuls
of sugar. Tako a spoonful whenever
tho cough Is troublesome.
Burn a Ilttlo camphor gum In tho
closets where moths havo been found.
Close the door and keep the fumes In
aB long as possible.
A piece of camphor gum In the sil
ver chest will keep tho silver from
tnrnishing.
A lump of lime kept In the fruit
closet will keep mold from forming on
Jelly and preserves.
When peeling onions, a pair of auto
goggles worn will keep tho eyes from
troubling.
Keep a list of easily prepared dishes
Inside tho cupboard door or in an
equally handy place, so when unex
pected company arrives In the flurry
of trying to think of something to eat
no tlmo need bo lost.
Slip a paper bag over tho egg beater
when whipping a little cream In a
bowl, so there will be no splatterB.
A dlBh mop Is a good window clean
er. Uso two, ono to wash and the
other for polishing tho windows.
Bread dipped in milk and baked
makes delicious rusks to serve with
salad or soup.
Smllo oven when you'ro down and out,
Smllo when trouble routs about
Smllo In sorrow, smllo In pain,
Sunshine always follows rain.
THERE'S POETRY IN PIE.
Thero Is probably no pio more gen
erally liked than pumpkin, when It Is
well mado and properly sea&oued. A
cup of Blfted pumpkin, or at most a
cup and a quarter will mako a good
sized pie. Ono or two eggs, a pint of
milk, sugar, ginger, a little cinnamon
or cloves, If ono likes a dark pie, with
a few drops of lemon extract gives a
good flavoi. Tho richer the milk the
better the pie, of course.
Pineapple Ple..-Mako a good rich
curst, add tho pineapple -with enough
sugar to sweeten, put a teaspoonful
of flour sifted over and then placo tho
top criist. Bako as usual. Long, 6low
baking brings out the flavor of pine
apple as well as ordinary apple.
Cornstarch Pie. Scald a pint ol
milk, add two tablespoonfuls of corn
starch, the beaten yolkB of two eggs,
a pinch of salt and n quarter of a cup
of sugar; boll, then pour Into a cruBt.
Cover with a meringue made from the
whites with two tablespoonfuls ol
sugar. Brown In oven. Flavor with
any desired flavoring.
Cream Pie. Bako a rich crust, and
when cool fill with sweotened whipped
cream flavored with vanilla. Just be
fore serving dot with bits of red jelly
Sour Cream Pie. Tako a cupful ol
sugar, choped raisins and sour cream;
add ono egg well beaten, one-half
teaspoonful each of cinnamon, nutmog
nnd salt, a fourth of a teaspoon of
cloves and a teaspoonful of vinegar.
Bako with two crusts.
Apple Custard. Add a cup of sugar
to a cupful of grated apple, two eggs
well beaten, one cup of sweet cream
and tho grated rind of a lomon. Pour
Into a pio plato lined with pastry, and
bake.
Any fruit may bo put Into a baked
shell, covered with egg white and
baked, making a very uttractlve pie.
