German Coffee Cake. --Set a tponge with one-half pint of blood warm milk, one cake of eompressed read, dissolved, and enough flour to make a sponge a little thicker than for bread. Set in a warm plaee to rise. \\rhea light add one- nalf cup of sugar and three well beaten eggs and one teaspoon of salt. Beat well and stir into it enough flour to make a soft dough, just stiff enough no allow handling. Now with the nand knead into the donah about three-fourths eupful of melted butter or butter and lard Und -when well kneaded set aside 'to rise. When it has doubled its bulk tip out on a, well floured board, pat it out and sprinkle over lt one-half cupful of sultana rais- ins, otte cupful of ehopped dates, and a few eueraeits. Reit up and put into a large cake pan with funnel which has been well grease with butter and over which a layer of light brown sugar has been strewn and a few shredded aL monde, Set aeide until light or un- til almost double its bulk, Put into moderete oven and bake about three-quarters of ae hour, being careful not to bare. An aluminum pan is the beet, as it will keep the botttnn from burning. Grease the top of the cake before setting into the oven and take it from the pan n as taken from the oven, a 'own sugar will barden and will be impossible to get it For cinnemou rolluse half of the amount ef bove dough utter it has isee for the eccond time. Roll out on a board until one -hal( inch thick. Grease with Ineltoci butter and sprinkle nith abotit one-fourth 'eup[oi of sugar, eeant teaspoeaful amnion and a small eunful of sultane raisins 01' Currants. Roll up and eut into lengths of about One and one-half inches; lay in a shal- low pan which has been treated a, the above for coffee cake or jus a greased One, and in that caae ice with vanilla icing on top of rens. Set aside until light and bake in moderate oven for about thirty min- utes. If brown sugar is used in pan turn on to a plate as soon as removed from the oven and in the other ease turn out and ice the top while hot with an king made of con- fectioner's sugar and cream with a little vanilla. For breakfast twists use the other -half of the dough. Break off pieces about the size of a large walnut and roll on the board until' about five inches long and one-half inch thick, twist and lay on greased pan one and one-half incites apart. Let rise. When light grease and sprinkle with the following: Take one-half cupful of sugar and one- quarter cupful flour and one tea- spoonful of cinnamon; mix these in- gredients and rub into them one teaspoonful of 'butter. Sprinkle the twists with this and bake in moder- ate oven until a golden brown. For low coffee cake take a shal- low pan and roll dough one-half inch thick, let rise and grease and sprinkle over it the above mixture. Bake in a moderate oven about twenty minutes. An endless num- ber of good things may be made from this dough and treated in dif- ferent ways. Rolled thin it may be used for apple cake with apples sliced on it and a few currants sprinkled over it. For breakfast rolls it can't be surpassed. I bake them on Saturday' and reheat them for breakfast and for Sunday evening tea. I usually use double the amount in the re- cipe. -Mrs. F. W.

Irish Crochet. -Shave one ounce of white laundry soap into a bowl; pour over it one quart of boiling water and stir entil dissolved, When lukewarm, put the Jape in, Let soak three aciers, swisbing it about edasioeally. At the end of the time remove it, rinse it two or three times in clean water, then squeeze out the moisture, but Dever wring lace. Hang it in toe sun and, whee nearly dry, place a cloth wet with raw starcb on a soft ironing board; put the right eide of the laeon this and iron until pettedly dry, Pull the little picots into shape with the fingers. Lace treated like this in- variably looks like new. Pendants and buttens should be washed in the same manner, Beaded Waist, --Put two eepfuls flour into one quart gasoline and stir well ; leave the waist in this for a couple of hours; shake and ir around, but do not rub; glee a wad bath of elear gesoline; put clean corset cover en a form or pillow, stretch waist on this to dry; then brush with a soft Welsh to take out any remaining flour. You will find your )vaist like new and the beads safe and bright. The seam only need pressing. To Olean Witlipaper.---Tbe folow- ing is mese excellent and simple method of cleaning wall paper and it be used with confidence in every house: Take one (wart of flour and ,sfir in five cents' worth of am- monia and enough water to make a staff dough; work and knead until smooth, then wipe the paper with this batch of dough, working it so that a elean surfaeo will be present. d with every stroke. Go over the paper, in this way and your paper will be clean. SEASONABLE HINTS. For Ga,rdeners.-When using eggs, break off the tops, empty con- tents and fill with soil. Plant in each shell a seed of eabbage, to- mato, pansy or anything you want to start early, and sot in egg case fillers in a warm, sunny window. The long egg boxes one dozen car- ton) will set nicely in window sills. When plant is large enough, break shell and sot in garden. Overshoe Help, --flow to dispose of overshoes in wet and muddy wea- ther is a serious problem to a hos- tess. If not removed before going to the dressing room the carpets and rugs soon become damp and dirty, over which surface the hand- some gowns of the guests are later dragged, and often ruined. A convenient and inexpensive Way of solving this problem is for the hos- tess to buy at her gracery paper bags large enough to hold a pair of overshoes. One of these is han- ded to each guest, with a word of explanatible by the maid as she opens -the door. There is then no excuse for any one wearing her overshoes to the dressing room. The names may be written en the bags before handing to each guest. This method prevents the loss and ‘nais- mating of overshoes. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. When darning certain kinds of material - knitted underwear, among other things -it is a good plan to baste, beneath any, large hole a piece of soft net, and darn oeer and through this until the net is concealed The net adds to ,the firmness of the,darned piece. To free the hands from disagree- able odors, such as ,that of onions, cod-liv.ex oil, 'ete„ mix a little ground' dry mustaad ,with' warm water and, wash the hands well with it. The saucerS of scales, or vessels - used in cooking, ' can be freed 'from odore by the same method. Brushes and brooms would last much longea if they had an occa- sional bath. Four tablespoolofuls of household ammonia in two quarts of lukewarm water are the proper proportions. Let the brushes Or. twigs stand in the water for abciut half an hour; then rinse thorough- ly and hang them in a cool place o dry.

As a matter of fact, the peerage has supplied a good many recruits to the profession of nursing in the last few years. Lady Esher's first .aid classes have given an impetus to the move- ment, while the practieal interest in nursing institutions wbieh Queen Alexandra has repeatedly shown is also largely responsible for the hold whieh the vocation has taken on the minds of women who are arominent sociislly. One a the best known society nurses is Lady An- nesley, who became deeply interest- ed in hospital work and spent much of ber time in the wards of the City ef Dublin hospitals. But for her marriage she would have ‘adopted nursing as u profession, and in the t end she fonnded a village hospital t in the grounds of her home in Coun- h ty Down. , o Lady Hermonie Blackwood, a marquis' daughter, and sister of Lord Dufferin, is preeident of the r Irish Nursing Association, and i among earls' daughters who have r been to the fore in the nursing -3‘ movement are Lady Katherine r Stanhope, Lady Rosalind North- e cote, Lady Griseldo Cheape, and t Lady Maud Keith -Falconer.

The idea under- r lying the bill is that street trading destroys the potential capacity of t children to become good citizens, t turning the 'boys and girls who en- T gage in it into hopeless unemploy- c ablos, whose ultimate destiny is the b prison and the workhouse. w The London County Council, which tried registration of juvenile street traders, has decided that the c system of badges has not been e success, and it has just adopted new by-laws to deal with the evil. These by-laws will have the effect of taking off the streets 10,000 boyS and 1,000 girls who are at present engaged in street trading. -Among the changes are the following: No boy under 16 to be eine o3 ed -lne employed in street trading. No bey or girl under 14, liable to in street -trading before 6 a.m. or after 9 No„,loay or girl under .14. -liable to attend full time at school, to be loyed for mo -re than three and a half hours a day. • No boy or girl under 11 to lather customers or do other work in a barber's shop. , -+ Here!" shouted the railway of- fficial ; "what do you mean by throwing those trunks about like WRY NEGROES ARB BLIGE. Food Determines Cohn*, Says t G r man Professor. What makes the Caucasian white, the negro black and the Indian red'? One explanation is that the black races are made so as a result of continuous exposure to sunlight, but this theory does not seem to hold good throughout. A German professor, Dr. A. Berg - fold, has just written a book in which he attempts to prove that it is all a matter of feeding. Ile points out that in the aaimal and insult world color is often determine.d by food, and he argues by chemical process the sa.rne results are shown in the different human races. ,Ile thinks that the original man was black, as his principal diet xnust have been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables contain manganates which ally themselves with iron, making a dark brown combination. Dr. Bergfeld says that negroes who add meat and milk to their vege- table fare are never as dark as those who only eat vegetables. Indians are red because they have absorbed for generations he- moglobin, the red substance in the blood of animals killed for food. Mongols are yellow because they descend from dark fruit eating rac- es who penetrated into the plains of Asia,,becatne shepherds and liv- ed to a great extent on milk, which contains chlorine and has a bleach- ing effect. The Caucasians were another branch who 'became still whiter through adding salt to their dietary. Common salt is a strong chloride, and is a powerful agent in bleach- ing the skirt. The effect, he declares, can he seen on negro children who have been brought up on a white dietary. They are never as black priest and the king's private sec.= abandoned vegetarianism.
