NICE POTATO SALADB. POTATOES make one of the most useful salads on the winter bill of fare. Should it have to appear often on the table it may be varied from time to time, now being served, with mayonnaise, now with a boiled and again with a French dressing. The ingredients of the salad should always be thoroughly mixed. It may be garnished with radishes, sliced or cut in roses, or with sprigs of parsley or watercress. Two Novel Salads. Hot Potato Salad.—Take small potatoes, Wash and peei these and take off the skins' a%d slice. Pour over them a hot dressing made of one-half cupful of bacon grease, one-quarter cupful of vinegar, one teaspoonful of salt, pepper or paprika to taste, onion juice or chives, if desired.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

BY REV. GEORGE DANIEL HADLEY

The •word of the Lord, and «f Gideon.—Judge*, vll, 20. It is the peculiar battle cry of that still more peculiar battle of long ago. Gideon had been Misy threshing wheat for his father when suddenly he heard the voice of the Lord saying: —"Go, and thou shalt save Israel.” He felt very small and Insignificant and held back. Finally he realized that, although he was only Gideon, yet wtth the Lord of Hosts as his might and his power the weakness of man might be turned Into strength If the cause were righteous and the ambition unselfish. So Gideon obeyed; tor the Mldlanltes were threatening God’s people, and he blew a trumpet and called t» gether an the mighty men of valor, and to each of the three hundred fearless and alert soldier* who stood his test he handed, not a shining sword, not a glittering spea*% nor even z bow and arrow, but a. trumpet, an empty pitcher and. a lamp! Softly but firmly they crept into the enemy’s oamp and at the proper signal they smashed their pitchers and waved their lamps and shouted through their trumpets "The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon!” And the Mldlanltes, terrified beyond measure, fled in wild confusion. Bnt why was not the battle cry merely “The sword of the Lord”? Why should be added or even considered in the same connection the phrase “and of Gideon"? Was not that rather resumptuous? Not that the last part of that battle cry not only indicates no vain arrogance, but tt Is absolutely essential to the victory. Gideon in pulpit and pew, in his office or his home, whatever his calling may t>e, business professional or domestic, Is not only tolerated by God, but is vitally necessary to Qod‘*s plans. When God wishes to accomplish thing* among men he uses men for the work. The struggle of God and of Gideon in the world Is one and the same struggle for righteous advancement. As soon as we realize this, making Gpd’s fight our fight, realizing that our victories are His victories and oqr defeats His defeats, religion becomes something active and inspiring and our daily labors become noble. And as we go forth to life’s battle, deeming It more than worth while if in our small way we can overcome even one of God’s enemies, behold we find that our army is a plain business suit covering a character determined and brave and thoughtful, and the sword of the Lord is no glittering or gleaming weapon, but a common lamp or pitcher or such tools as we use in our home or our office' or our shop every day. And the greatness and goodness of life depend upon whether we look upon all we possess as our own alone or as our own for Him, to he wielded by us In His battle. "May His shield of love be over our heads in temptation, and may His sword, which 1b the living word, never have Its edge turned In our hands by vanity or fear or neglect."

The Choice of the Violet.

It was three days before his departure to Elba that Napoleon chose the violet as his emblem. He was walking in the garden of Fontainebleau, accompanied by the Duke de Bassano and General Bertrgnd. He was still undecided whether to accept exile, and was discussingßto that effect with his companions, when he espied a little boy, the son of the head gardener, pdeking some violets and making them into a bunch. “Will you give mo these flowers?” he asked. “Yes, sir, with pleasure,” was the answer. “Gentlemen," said Napoleon, “the meeting with the child is providential; perhaps the flowers are a hidden command from God for me to Imitate their modesty. Henceforth they shall be the emblem of my deelres.” His courtiers could not prevail upon him to ohange his decision. During the time he remained at Fontainebleau he constantly carried a bunch of violet*. The story leaked out; from that time the troops called him “Father Violet.” Then It filtered to the people, and lu the violet season they all carried It as a rallying token.

Upou this I awakened und beheld: **d mgr sleep was sweet unto mi* lb awuhe to find the good night’s thoughts hovering like angels who have been he eg fag guard while we slept Is s height outlook tor the new isji fiwpo—

Superstitions About Salt

By F. C. EVANS.

If you happen to spill any salt there is going to be a quarrel. At least to Bay superstitious folk, who straightway throw some of the spilt salt over the left shoulder to break the spell. Up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, It is also necessary to crawl under the

table and come out the opposite side, while.in New England you must throw the spilt particles Into the fire to thoroughly neutralize the bad luck. Bishop Hall of Exeter, wrote, in 1627, that when salt fell towards a superstitious guest at diqn r, he was want to exhibit signs of i rntal agitation, and refused to be comforted until one of the waiters had poured wine in his lap. As salt is believed to remove wine stains from the table cloth, perhaps this person may have thought that the rule worked both ways and wine removed salt stains from bis luck. The Germans have a saying, "Whoever spills salt arouses enmity,” and in some places the overturning of a salt cellar is thought to be the direct act of the Devil, the peace-disturbed. The superstltutious Parisian is of the same opinion and tosses a little of the spilled salt behind him in order, if possible} to, hit the Invisible and interfering fiend In the eye. The ancient Romans exclaimed, “May the gods avert the omen I ” when salt was spilled at table, and among the Greeks the overturning of the Balt cellar was one of the most ominous events that could occur In n house. This would Indicate that superstitions regarding the spilling of salt are far older than the commonly believed explanation of the nation; which Is, that It Is dftis to the fact that In Leonardo da picture of the Last Supper, Judas Iscariot is represented as Just having split the salt Some observers, moreover, have ed to make out any salt cellar a - all In the original Conacolo on the refectory wall at Milan, though It Is clearly delineated In the well known engraving Raffaello Morghen. If Leonardo did insert this deta.' he moßt likely did It to take advt star” of the popular belief and Indicate the 111 lock shortly to befall the false apostle. Salt Is extremely distasteful to evil spirits In the opinion of Richalmus, abbot of Schonthal In Franconia In the twelfth century, and a great many people seem to agree with him to this day. Richalmus was very much tormented by devils, whom he observed In operation every here. He even considered flea-bites to be of in-

ferns! origin and prescribed the sign of the cross for their alevlatlon. When he was at dinner and the fiend had maliciously taken sway his appetite, he simply tasted a little salt and Ms appetite returned at once. Tbs worthy abbot wrote a book about hie experiences, which Is very queer reading. In the proa vinos of Quebec, French Canadians sometimes scatter salt about the doors of their stables to prevent those mlsohlevous little imps celled luting from entering and teasing the horses by sticking burrs In their manes and tails. G. Pitre In his book on the customs of Sicily tolls us that in that island, a horse entariff a “new stall is believed to be 11ae to molestation by fairies. A litsaft is therefore sprinkled on Ills ck la order to bring their oontri-
