ENORMOUS RESULTS.
Lord Strathcoita. carefully collects
end tabulates all criticisms, and
commercial and °thee enquiries, and
acts as a many-sided ambassador
between the vast Dominion and the
Mother Country. The result is an
enormous arid vast growing trade in
grain, Ilour, butter, cheese, eggs,
poultry, fruits of all kinds, hay,
evaporated vegetables and fruits,
jams and jellies, maple syrup, to-
bacco, leather, wood pulp, and mer-
chandise of every likely and unlikely
Mad, even including mounted ani-
mals' heads as ornaments, and
wooden bungs !
"The agricultural wealth of the
country," remarked His Lordship,
"is enormous. Immense cultivated
areas furnish grain for the miller,
fruit and vegetables for•the canner ;
beef, pork and mutton for the meat
trade; and cream for the butter and
cheese factories, Then our forests
are now, looked upon as one of the
world'sources for the simply of
pulp -wood for the paper industry ;
and on the world-fained fisheries of
the Dominiou rest many important
induStries. Immense deposits of
the finest iron have recently been
found; while gold, lead, asbestos,

-The captain, a better swordsman
than his elide, younger and moro ac-
tive, too, tried to disarm Sir Pierce;
but a sudden movement of the elder
man sealed his own fate, and the fa-
ther of the Lady Isobel fell with her
husband's sword -point in his side.
" 'One word -one word, Ralph, be-
fore I die!' he whispered. And the
young man bent over him. `Lower!'
gasped the dying man, 'lower!' And
es his son-ia-law stooped down to
him: Sir Pierce struck upwards with
a stzdtlen movement, using a dagger
which had lain concealed in his
sleeve, and Captain Wilbraham,
stricken traitorously to the heart,
fell- upoa the body of his father-in-
law.

A long, loud shriek for help
aroused us all just as the, gong for
breakfast sounded. With an uneasy
sense of something horrible, we all
rushed down the paesage to Mary
Anstruther's room, in the story of
which, as a matter of fact, but few
of us believed, and where we had left
the laughing girl the night before.
The door of it was open, a,nd on
her knees upon the threshold was
Mary Anstruther, with the blood-
stained, upturned face of a golden -
haired girl in a white bed -robe on
her lap.

Mary. "It's Edelyn-my sister Eee-

A. GOOD 013P Ote TE -A,
A cup of good hot tea is very
wholesome these cold days, yet how
seldom we get it! Tea is not an herb
that improves through steeping, but
most cooks think so; they appear to
believe that any acrid, biting, strong
beverage made from tea leaves is
good enough for anybody. To many
greea tea is forbidden fruit, so to
speak; its effect on the nerves is bad;
black tea is usually very herby in
its taste; not nearly so palatable.
The very best inixture, learned years
ago, when the Writer, as a small girl,
was allowed to see and help in the
matter of mixing, is one pound of
English breakfast, that strong black
tea, to two of Young Hyson, the
smooth fragrant green tea. Of
course, so much need not be purchas-
ed, but by preserving the proportion
one gets a delicious beverage. 3n
making be sure the water is freshly
boiling; ,pour on all you need at once
allowing a scant teaspoonful for each
cup, and one for the pot; ' let it
stand for about three or. four min-
utes; then serve in heated cups. See
that the pet, which should be always
of earthenware, never of metal, ie
freshly scalded out and hot when the
leaves are put in, and let stand a
nioraent or so before pouring the
water over. For tea a la Busse,
simply have a thin slice of lemon in
each cue: serve without sugar and
cream. It is quite the thing now to
refuse creem, but accept sugar, for
your cup of tea.

uow TO IISI•1 ORANOES.
In the winter when !resit fruits ors

freitetea so justly' esteemed all over
the world. The orange, which is the
most important member of the eitrut
family, is generally suppoeed to be e

the laud of sunshine and splendors
However, the source of its °legit
does, not Matter, nor does the fact
that it is not in reality the goldex
apple to Hesperides, so long no it
has taken so kindly to the soil 01
our own fruitful country, and it:
cultivation increased 1.0 sucn an exi
tent that it is now the most cone
mon and cosily obtuined fruit in our
winter nuutets.
Aside front a few loug and well
known kinds of oranges, the variout
names do not signify quality. Whil:
cultivators aim to produce large
_fruit, the size 311USL be a secondary
consideration in choosing the fruit,
as some large oranges have very
thick, coarse skins, are light. coarse-
ly fibred, and inferior in. flavor. Tht
best oranges are heavy, conniacta
sanooth, and thin skinned, of lighter
color, and contain less oil, while the
pulp is fine grained, with a small
proportion of fibre, abundanee ol
swcet, deliciously flavored juice. The
richest oranges have a russet skin.
The 'simplest and urest way to
test the fruit is to take it up in the
hand and judge of its weight by
lightly tossing or "hefting" it.
There are as many ways of serv-
ing and eating as there are varieties
of the fruit.
The most cominon method and fa-
vorite way with Floridans is to cut
the fruit in half, across the grain,
forming two cups, the pulp and juice
is then eaten with a, spoon.
The Cuban method is to peel the
orange at the table, by running an
orenee fork from stem end to eentre
and holding the fruit, firmly; the peel
and white pulp are cut away from
the juicy meat, leaving a golden bail,
which yoa present to your lips on
the prongs of the fork. Others pre-
fer to peel the orange at each end,
leaving a band around the centre.
This is cut and tbe sections of the
fruit separated by drawing this band
out like a ribbon, with the orange
sections strung like heads.
This is a dainty way to cat the
mandarins and a small variety of
orange called the "kid -glove" or
tinges.
The Prince is a notoriously bad
shot. When a young man he sbot
a game -keeper and wounded him so
severely that the poor fellow has
been a pensioner ever since. When
on a shooting expedition in Greece
he fell and accidentally discharged
his gun full into the back of a Gre-
cian dignitary. A month afterwards
Ise did serious damage to a PurkiSh
courtier, who had been appointed to
attend him on a trip. Perhaps his
most notable adventure was in July,
1900, when he obtained an interview
with the Chinese Empress. This was
thefirst intervieve ever given by the
Empress to any foreign Prince. The
bluff, straightforward Prince Henry
brushed aside all obstructive Chin-
ese etiquette, insisted upon an inter-
view, and obtained it.
° Prince I-Ienry not only has a
Charming wile and family, but can
boast the distinction, rare indeed
among princes, of an absol otely flaw-
less domestic life.
Berlin court gossip, which is as
active as all comit gossip; is, has
never had tbe slightest foundation to
work upon in the case of t.he Kais-
er's impeccable brother, and his
name is still, as it has always been,
free from the slightest reproach. So
Lar as is koowe, the Prince -wee nev-
er in love until he became very much
enamoured of the amiable woman
who is now his wife and is also his
cousin -and who was formerly Prin-
cess Irene of Heese.
BISMARCK'S OPPOSITION.
PrincesseIrene returned the Sailor
Prince's love and they were married
after a short wooing. The union
was strongly opposed by Prince Bis-
marck on the ground that the royal"
lovers were first cousins. Although
otherwise the Princess left nothing
to be desired as a royal bride
Prince Bismarck's objection carried
heavy Weight. The Man of iron was
in this instance, however, overruled
