The Princess or waies iuu i"" -mother after her grandmothers heart. She was engaged to wed the Crown Prince Clarence, oldest brother of the present Prince of Wales, but when he died her affections turned to the other brother, and the union has been blessed with many chlluren. The oldest of tliese and the heir pre sumptive to tho throne Is Prince Edward, who was born at White Lodge. Rich mond. He Is a line, manly fellow, an athlete and natural, royeterlng boy. Ho Is in love with the sea. and likes none of his uniforms so much as that of a naval cadet. The whole effort of those in charge ot the education of this successor to the throne of Edward has been to make him feel that "life Is real, life Is earnest," and that his station exempts him of none of the obligations that fall to others; rather. In fact. It adds to them. Vnllke the pampered, overdressed chil dren of many millionaires, the littla ones of the Princess of Wales have been most quletlv reared. The Princess Is a most devoted mother, whose half doen chil dren are a model of what youngsters, prlncel or otherwise, should be. She leave, verv little to hired help In the care of the children, but makes their little garments, superintends their lessons, and Is their companion In their pleasures, like the plainest citizens wife. Their deit is carefully regulated by the mother, and before taking a tour to Tndia. or to Canada, she always makes It ui ia,. minute directions for their care, and even to prepare many menus of the kind or iooa ihj The children show the result of this sen sible training.

In the eyes or tneir poem tprophets) he was not only tneir sou but he u a superior god as they themselves were better than their neighbors, so their god became greater than the gods of their neighbors, and this admiration and laudation of him went so far that he finally got to be regarded the universal deity. But Moses, his introducer, and the only being on earth wno coma -.y-authority, knew nothing of these uni versal attributes of a later date. It Is of no use whatever to try to defend the character of Jehovah as the loving God of an. as ne - god? Scholarship answers no. it ne was so. then was it io '; harden Pharaoh s (his child's) heart so as to get the chance to plague him. even to the slaughter of his first-born? Reason answers a thousand times no. But If Jehovah was the tribal deity of Israel and of no other people, then he appears as one fighting, barbarously however, for his own. just as Oden fought for the Germanic race against their enemies. But let me not dese crate the memory of this nobler con ception of the deity of our ancestors by a comparison with that of the im mensely more barbarous tribal Semitic conception.

Jehovah gava ten commandments to his people. Was npt he htmself the greatest law breaker of his own ethical rules? On th naires of history I find numerous gods of ancient times: Bel. Baal. Asta.- roth. Chemosh, Deus. Jupiter. no'. . ornhiia and Oden. They were all living realities to their own people. Where are they now: n one of them show.n signs of life for a thousand years two thousand years? Dead! Gone to eternal rest! Alive only in the memory of a name. We. now. after centuries of self-imposed fear or favor, can stt down and quietly weigh them all in the balance. Was any of them as light on the scales as Jehovah? Perhaps, because he could overcome gravitation by upsetting his own laws. Port la n d. October 9. Cleaning; Egg Spoons. How many times has the housekeeper been discouraged with the fact that the spoons used for eggs at breakfast always become tarnished and need cleaning. In most households the silver is cleaned once every week, and it is very incon venient to change the system and clean some every day; so it helps to know that good spoona may be cleaned by rubbing them with a little salt, and then washing them in the ordinary way with soap and water. .
