It was a death rido in tho fullest meaning of that word: against automatlo guns and In fantry, In which tho first, third and fourth squadrons of my regiment, and tho second squadron of another regi ment took part. Ono thousand pris oners, including twolvo or eighteen commandors, cannons and automatic guns, wero captured, "Our bravo brlgado suffered bitter ly; of tho 142 men In my squadron, only Ilfty-olght ropllod when tho roll was called.

"Novor boforo was I as conscious of tho proximity of my guardian angel as on that day. I cannot quite ex plain It, but all tho whllo I was not n bit oxcltod, and had a feeling of nbsoluto safety.

All tho whllo wo had been partly In Krnnce, partly in Lorraine, wandering about very strenuously, without see ing or accomplishing anything In par ticular. On tho 11th, bright and early, as nlwnyB in good humor, wo stnrtod out, realizing less than ever before nil that tho day might bring.

A Gorman officer attached to tho great general staff In a dls- pntch, n copy of which has reached London, mentions a curious system of arranging unofllclnl armistices which has lately grown up between the nlllos and tho Germans facing each other day and night nt closo qunrtora In tho trenches In Northern Franco. He al most makes ono bollovo that tho French and Germans, nfter weeks of lntronchmont within a fow yards of each othor, havo lost their animosi ties and regard tho great slcgo battlo north of tho Alsno as a sort of friendly mntch away from homo. Ho has a bit ter pen, howovcr, when ho writes about tho English. "From noon to two o'clock In tho nftoruoon," ho snys, "both sides In tho trenches call an armistice. It Is a strict ugrcoment, quito unofllclnl, bo tween groups of men In tho front fir- Irttw lltma fi.nl ft Imu fin.m lirnrrnll V , ...h .I..VD, ..II.. ...

Tho en emy answers tho signal In samo man ner, and thoro Is a mutual agreement to leave tho tronchos nt tho samo tlmo. Tho understanding Is thnt tho German or the Frenchman shall bo allowed to louvo tho trench without being llred on. If tho enomy should break tho iirmUtlco nnd flro on our man wo would reply Inatnntly nnd kill tho corresponding Frenchman as ho was leuliig tho trenches. This agree ment with tho Frenchman works amicably, but with tho Kimllsh wo hnvo not nttemptod to como to such an understanding. Our bitterness toward them prevents It. "Tho tronchos aro go closo togothor that tho Frenchmen can hoar us sing ing our songs. Thoy listen, nnd when wo havo finished thoy burst Into song nnd wo listen to them. Wo tnko it in turns to givo theso Uttlo concorts, t over which countless shots wore whizzing, till nt last it quieted down. In tho dlstanco I discerned my regi ment gathering together; then, to my delight, closo by I found my own In fantry. With my riders, who now numbered eight, I put myself under tho command of that captain, and with this company, with revolver nnd car hlno, I went through tho rest of tho battle. "With several captured horses, among which wns a French artillery horso, I searched for and eventually found my regiment, and there I first learned positive facts concerning our grent losses and our glorious victory." 14 WOUNDS; OTHERWISE 0.

Tho report of the following Incident was Bent to tho Berliner Tngcblatt by a physician: "In tho royal surgical clinic In Zlo golstrasso thoro arrived a new trans port filled mainly with severely wounded men, most of whom had to bo carofully carried to their beds. Ono sturdy defender of -his country clam bored without assistance out of tho wagon and nppronched the physician who wns receiving them. " 'Well, my man,' Bald the latter, 'you wero not badly hurt?'

Hev. 1'2'3, 4 The nible tells little of tho Inter mediate state The early Christians looked not for death, but for the coming of tbo Lord. True, thoso who aro with Christ nro in a blissful state, rest ing from their labors, "at homo with tho Lord" and enjoying tho sweets of Para dise (Phil. 1:23:2, Cor. 5.8 It. V. margin; II Cor. 12:1). nut "man wns made for cor poreity" and will not reach perfection until clothed with a glorified body. Tho text exhibits soino privileges of the finally redeemed who will dwell In "tho holy city, now Jerusalem." Service. "His servants shall servo him." Tho common idea of heaven is as a place" of rest, and it will bo so. Earth Is full of weary ones, and the millions who follow Buddhism, with Its teach ing of annihilation as tho final blessed ness, aro evidence of tho craving for rest. But heaven may bo a place of rest nnd of service too. Says Mac Iaren: "Work at Its Intensest, which is pleasurable work and level to tho capacity of 'the doer, Is the truest form of rest. In vacuity there aro stings nnd torments: it is only in joyous ac tivity which is not pushed to the ex tent of strain and unwholesome effort that tho true rest of man Is to bo found." What will tho service be? Thoso who are faithful over a few things will bo mado rulers over many. In "tho regeneration," the apostles will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel (Matt. 19:28); and wo hear cf saints who will rule over flvo cities or ten (Luko 19) : this seems to point to millennial times, when tho glori fied will share tho government of earth. Again, Ephesians 2:7 shows wo havo' been saved "that In tho ages to como ho might show the exceeding riches of his graco in his kindness to ward us through Christ Jesus." Won dering angels will mngulfy tho grace of God In us. Ono of large vision says, "We know not what new worlds may bo created, what new spheres may bo opened for the exerciso of the powers of thOBO who shall reign in life." "His servants shall do him priestly sorvlco," is the literal moaning of the phrase before us. Whllo It will be all work, It will bo all worship. It will bo tho happy estate of Mary and Martha combined. Work will bo wor ship and worship will bo work, yet In both wo shall rest, sitting at Jesus' feet. Vision. "Thoy shall see his face." This seems to contradict soma scriptures which tell us man will never see God. Truo, In a sense wo can novcr aeo God. God is a spirit and cannot bo seen corporeally: wo may never be hold more than a symbol of him, as Stophen saw "the glory of God," yet this would not preclude our knowing him, for "spirit with spirit can meet." Moreover, wo shall not aeo God in tho sense of finding him out to per fection; ho is infinite nnd we shall have always beforo us tho joy of dis covery. But whllo this is truo, wo shall see Jesus, who said, "Ho that hath seen mo hath seen tho Father." Ho Is the word by whom God is revealed. We soo now through a glass darkly, bul then, fnco to face. Wo would not min imize the work of the Holy Ghost in us, revealing Christ, but tho early Christians longed to behold tho face of their Lord: their cry was, "Even en, come, Lord Jesus." Knowing as I am known, How Hliall I lovo tliut word, And oft icpcnt before tho throne "forever with tho Lord " Likeness. "His namo shall bo In their fore heads." This speaks of ownership But it suggests llkenoss, too, for In Scripture tho name stands for mani fested character; wo shall havo God't imngo stamped upon us. Wo. seek to bo holy now, but there wo shall have attained. "Wo shall bo llko him." Thcro l,i no sin In heaven: Uohold thnt happy throng, AH glorious In their spotless robes, All holy In their song!

THE VALUE OF LEMONS. Lemons are one of the most useful of fruits In our domestic economy. Lemonade Is nn exceed ingly wholesome drink. A half a lomon squeezed into a glass of water and tnken before breakfast is a fine tonic. The ref use left may be used to remove stains from the hands. Lemon juice and sugar made erj thick Is n great relief for a cough. A baked lemon is excellent for hoarseness nnd ono often used by singers and public speakers. Bake the lemon llko an npple, then squeeze out tho juico nad ndd sugar to it. Hot lemonade will break up a cold If taken at the ptart. Lemon juico, glycerin nnd wnter makes a moM healing lotion for chapped handr The dark streaks on the neck may bo removed by rubbing lemon over tho neck night und morning. Lemons rid the system of humors and bilo and leave no evil effects. Weak, debillta'ed people sometimes may be greatly benefited by freo use of them. Lemon Juice should be di luted with wa'ei or sweetened suffi ciently to lessen the burning sensa tion in the throat. A most nourishing diink for an In valid Is n fresh egg well beaten, added to a glass of ntrong lemonade. Tho pulp of a 'emon rubbed on tho roots of the hhfr will help to stop tho ordinary cases of falling hair. Soro and toidT feel may be re lieved and often cured by tho free uso of slices oJ lemon applied to tho foot at night. 3alt sprinkled over tho lemon will curt- chilblains; repeat for several nights. For fovorishneis, roll a lemon until soft, cut off tho end and put Into it nB much sugar an t will hold, then suck It slowly. Lomon jolly Is a good dessert, or combined with other fruits makes a most dollclout fmlt salad. Gelatin Home-Made Paste. An luexpouflvs paste which will be found much mvro satisfactory than cither flour or cornstarch Is nnde of, ono smnll po'.ato grated fine. Add boil ing water eiiiugh to make clear and boil flvo mi-iules. RecorJIng Sound Waves.

I.Ike tho winds of the air, are the wars, of tho fates As wo journey along through life; 'TIs the set of the soul that decide the' goal And not the storm or strife. THE ECONOMICAL SALMON. According to government analysis, canned salmon will furnish a pound of protein more cheaply than any other anlmol food except salt cod.' The thrifty house wlfo will have a few cans of salmon on her sholves to use for occasions and also for emergencies. A moBt appetizing main dish for a din ner may be made by serving salmon loaf surrounded with peas'. Salmon with peas and a salad dressing nnd a chopped pickle mnkes a most appetiz ing salad. Another good dish which Is espe cially nice for a supper dish Is mashod polatoes put through a ricer heaped on a platter as a border around sal mon which has been heated In tho can.

CABBAGE COMBINATIONS. Cabbage may be made quito another dish by cooking and combining with different seasonings and food. Creamed cabbage Is nn especially nice dish; shred tho cabbage very fine and cook it un til tender in boiling wa ter, slightly salted, then drain In a colander and put It Into a rich, well- seasoned white sauce. A few bits of finely chopped celery and a dash of onion improves the flavor. Buttered cabbage is another appe tizing dish. Cook finely shredded cab bage, until tender, In salted water, drain and put it back into the sauce pan, add water, pepper and more salt and when well mixed a few table spoonfuls of good vinegar to give It a zest. Servo hot. Cabbage eaten raw is more digesti ble than when cooked. When serving It raw It should be very finely shred ded or chopped and allowed to stand In cold water to crisp. Drain well, add salt, sugar, thick sweet cream and n very little vinegar. This makes n most delicious salad to serve at any meal. Another cabbage snlad which Is buch a favoilte with tho Germans es pecially, and Is named German salad, Is prepared by chopping lino a small hoail of cabbage and an onion and pouring over them the fat fried out from a good slice of salt pork cut In small cubes; when well mixed, sea son highly with salt and red pepper nnd pour over a half cupful of boiling hot vinegar.
