Dissolve soda in water, add to apple sauce. and beast into creamed butter and sugar alternately with flour mix- ture. Bake in amoderate oven. Left -Over Coffee. Never serve warmed-over coffee. It is one of the worst of warmed- overs and has little justification. If it must be done pour the coffee from the grounds, strain and set in a tight glass ,jar in a cold place. When reheating tie a little fresh coffee in a lawn bag and bring to a boil with it. This gives more of the fresh -made flavor. Left -over coffee is good strained and kept on the ice until lunch, it serves as iced coffee. This. should have whipped cream and sugar passed with it. Have iced Ma. glasses half full of shaved ice and pour the cold coffee over it. Occasionally the whipped cream sweetened is mixed with the coffee, but tastes vary too decidedly to make this feasible when strangers are to be consulted. Another use for left -oven• coffee is to turn it into a dessert, a mousse, gelatine or ice cream, the coffee be- ing the sole flavoring, though some- times it is improved by adding a tablespoonful of sherry or brandy. More pros'aie, left -over coffee can be sealed in glass jars and be ready to dilute to give lace cur- tains, nets and narrow laces a creamy tint after laundering. Home Hints. For ink stains on the fingers try lemon and salt. Never sleep where the light ,from a window shines directly on the eyes. Never leave. a metal spoon in a saucepan if you wish the contents to boil quickly, for the spoon is the means of carrying off a great deal of heat. If toasted bread is put in a double boiler and placed where the water in the outer kettle is kept warm, the toast will be delicious after an hour or more. In stitching long pleats a gunxmed label the exact width of pleat or hem required fastened on the pros - sure foot of the sewing machine, just back of the needle, keeps the tuck even. When the : window shade falls down and the spring roller unwinds with a whirr it may be easily put into commission by slipping the flat piece of Metal. at one end between the prongs of a kitchen fork and turning it until strengthened. SLEEPING' .A DISEASE. Excessive Somnolence Is So Ex- niained By a Doctor. An attempt to explain the exces- sive somnolence of . Pickwick's fat boy is made by Dr. Frederick .Tay- lor, F.R.C.P., -in am interesting article 'on ,sleepeness in "Practi- tioner." Dr. Taylor is sympathetic to- wards those with wh'osn sleep is an affliction, and he thinks that the. fat boy may possibly have tyuffered fromsome mysteriousdisease. "There is no evidence that he was overworked mentally or physi- cally," adds Dr. Taylor. He cites the case of a prisoner who, when ohargecl with ,sleeping in the roadway, went rtao sleep in the dock; tells of ahousemaid who went to asleep in the aft of announc- ing a visitor, and while carrying a tray with cups full of coffee; and mentions a woman "who was a nurse, till, in one of her sleeping paroxysms, she dropped the baby on the floor and 'nearly killed it." "There are also on record other cases of a somewhat different kind," says Dr. Taylor, "in which the individual sleeps continuously for hours,, days and months; some of these are described as narco- lepsy,'and they seem to present al- liances with trance, oatelepsy, hers- teria and insanity. "A duan slept 'seven months with- out interruption ; on another occa- sion fifteen months, Another man. in eight years, spent more than four and a half of them it sleep. The final attack Tasted fifteoe months;" Tea, ocffee,, and even tobacco are mentioned as .remedies which will keep people' awake when attacked by sleepi,nees. Dr.: Taylor states that he hiss employed with saitecess an egg beaten in coffee. .T. Many a great marl has exclusive knowledge of the fact. L6 1 L'AIQLO " "You're L'Aiglon, are ye'? An ariatocrat, eh V' The old man plunged his hands into a. basin of water and suds, and beat himself vigorously to the task of .washing his face, hands,, .and hair, an encercise from. which he presently rose dripping and rosy, but still belligerent. He breathed deeply into the folds of the kitchen towel hanging from the roller be- hind the door, while he rubbed his ruddy eheeles and nose until their shining roundness denied beyond pressibility of question the genuine quality in the tones directed toward a tiny fluff of grey winding be- tween hie legs. "Glob a .pedigree—sand was raised in a cattery,, was ye?" "What's a cattery, anyways' "• he asked, raising his voice, and giving a final rumple to the low-lying and aggressively upstanding hair. A little old ' woman appeared in the doorway, and stood regarding -the unusual irritation plainly visi- ble in the voice and attitude of her spouse. "Why, pa, a cattery is a house where they raise cats—An—Ango- r-r-a cats—'eamse some of 'end is awful expensive. You know what Clara •said about that one that roose. five hundred dollars," she contin- ued, her voice 'sinking to an awed whisper; . "and she said L'Ai-' Laigg—loo" "What a name for a cat!" ex- claimed the old man. "I hate such tomfoolery. I just naturally des- pise it. He can go back where he come from. The old cat's good enough for me... She caught all the mice round here for a considerable lot 'o years, an' I ain't gain' back on 'her for any - upstart, named L'Aigloo." " ' Tain't as if we could change it; you know Clara wrote what it meant, and how • to pronounce it, but she said we must suit ourselves about oallin' him that. She said it's French, 'cause his father and mother was Frenoh—an' his 'gra.nd-- farther—" "His grandfather be-" Even in his disgust, the old man paused upon the brink of this ejaculation. "My sakes 1" "exclaimed • ma. Picking up the kitten, she fled to her remotest "piny" bed. "My sakes!" she repeated to the frag- rant globes of pink and white. Left thus, the old man peered through the window ae the fugi- tives. He rubbed perplexedly at the high light on his. polished bald head, Kee opened the door of the cup- board and took out a small plate, muttering, `Cottery --pedigree— we ll ,see :and other dissatisfied fragments. A brown paper• parcel came forth from one of the. shelves, and he untied it with fingers that fumbled clumsily at the knots. Un- rolled, it disclosed.: a portion • of liver, fresh and inviting. The old man cut narrow strips of liver, and placed, them carefully on the plate. Then he spoke to the old eat. "Come on 1" he said, ingratiat- ingly. ngratiatingly. "Come on an' get it." He went close to her and stroked her with hits great rough hand. "It's' fresh," he declared. "Ye eau. smell.'? Thus importunely the old cat rose slowly, stretched, yawned, sniffed once and again, e,rohed her back under the rough caress, then turned• indifferently. to her cushion, from which she blinked unresponsively at him. "Ye ' hain't eetin'," he said, "sense morning', an' it'•s nigh sup- per -Mime. 'Pears iilp ye'd be a- wantin' something." Buhr she did not heed him. Blind to the solicitude of the bent . old shoulders, from which stretched the tremulous .arm, .with " its offering, she turned away, and began wash- ing her face imperturbably. Outside the window he could see the "piny" " waving id the breeze, as the little old woman walked among them. Upon a riotous kit- ten, curveting in their midst, up and: down the gravel walks, ;they sent down showers of radiant pee 'cls. "Little rascal !" the old man muttered, with absorbed interest at the leaping antics. "Mebbe he --like enough—" The sentence remained unfinish- 4 exl ae; lis walked towards the door and there halted, gazieg resettle downward. "L'Aigl e--eattezy l Suet non lienee, an'' 1 ain't .agoin' to pat tt with it," he a,nnoueneed, but th .sbrengeb and finality of purpose that 'had rung through former tit- t<erances were laoking now. " Tisem cliickexxs'll be hungry anyway, 1 reckon," he confided to the depehs of a wooden pail hangin on its; peg in the wood -shed. "M an Wars any the old oaates gotten' little bit rickety, but them eluiok ens," he sad, hopefuly, "they're young an' spry; they'll eat." But they stood about in indolent surfeited groups; regarding him with friendly affability, all unheed ing the handful after handful o golden grains he threw among thein. In dejection; the path by the currant -bushes °back to the house was slowly xeitrod•-•and the dejection deepened as lee stood Again in the kitchen. It came be him suddenly that he himself ways not hungry, and that `he was 'tired --aired of looking at things he had seen .so often, the roller -towel, bhe dishes, the old cat. There was nothing for him to do, no one he 'could, serve A plaintive quaver of sound ar- rested this melancholy turn of re- iieotion. On the . floor before him stood the son of flawless French pedigree, appealing like any ple- beian, plainly, obviously hungry. The man opened the cupboard door. "1 'donee aim to have any- thing ,starvin' round me," he said to the plate of liver, lifting it from the shelf. "Here you, L'Aigg-loo;"' he pro- nouneed the name with labor and distixietn•ess. "Ye *an have it, for the old cat don',t want ib. I give int to her first," he felt it necessary to explain. L'Aiglon cameto the feast; he was not particular who was invited first. In a moment, in seemed to the delighted old man, there was no vestige left, and the kitten search- ed industriously for more round the plate. "Want ,some more, do ye? Well, if you don't beat the dickens." A few moments later, he added, with an ecstatic grin, "I don't reckon ye can hold any more, but if ye cane-" L'Aiglon had finished it; and was asking for more. "Nighstarved, ain't ye V' The basin ,stood in the sink, and he poured it full of water,: as if in the joy of giving he feared some- thing empty might wish to be filled. Again he scooped great handfuls up to his face, and emerging red and chuckling, he beheld ma standing. apprehensively in the doorway; viewing the still unappeased kitten. "That there kitten," he said, im- pressively, ,striving to find wends to maintain his former declarations, and to explain his too evident aban- donment of them, "is the biggest little pig I ever see.", The towel hung oonve,nienitly near, - and he buried his face in its folds.—Youth's Companion. LESS DRUNKENNESS. Signs That It Is Becoming Unpopu- lar in Britain. The increased sobrierty of the peo- ple of Great Britain has been fre- quently and favorably commented on, and well-known social workers state that evidence was again forth coming during the recent holidays 'to show that men are less inclined than formerly' to squander their hard-earned saving in a few days' unrestrained excesses. Drunken- ness, which used to be the most venial of vices, has become 5o dis- creditable as to rule a man out of Sooierly. Statesmanship and hard drinking used to be considered quite compatible. Walpole made his sin drink rnore"porb than he did on the principle that no son ought to be sober enough to see•his farther slide under the table, and the hab- its of the younger Pibt were sloth that if he.. were a Minister to -day his career would quickly end. It is gratifying to find that the change of view as to drunkenness is nobs confined to the higher walks of life,. Among the superior artisan classes the habitual victim of alcohol is an object of contempt, 'and the more rational manner in 'which' working men are spending their holidays is an. impressive proof that in this im- portant respect the nation is really on the. up -,grade.

Poisoned His Beefsteak. In one of the most interesting and sensational oases, Jessie Wilson, wife of ,a settler near Adana°, Sask., was charged with having caused the dearth of her brother -in- law by means of strychnine poison. The trial was one carried over from 1911; the jury found a verdict of manslaughter, and a sentence of five years in the penitentiary was imposed. It appears,that tlhe de- ceased was passionatealy fond of to - bacon, and with a view to curing him • of the habit by making him a little indisposed, Mrs. Wilson placed the strychnine under his beefsteak ,art dinner. The sentence was intended rather as a warning• to those who might be tempted to deal carelessly and recklessly with such dangerous drugs, than as a punishment to the prisoner. A ghastly triple murder at Vas - coy, Saisk., was direotly atrtributa- ble to family differences. Alak, a Hungarian,. murdered . his wife, shot amid killed his father in-law, 'and mortally wounded his mother- in-law. He was executed. On the prairies of Western Canada the Mounted Police located an'old country . Frenchman, Peugnert by name, wanted by the police of St. Leger, France,.:fur the ghastly mur- der of a woman commieted at that place. He was extradited, and upon reaching France confessed his guilt and was sentenced to life imprisonnment. Inhuman Brutality. Numerous are the cases of bru- tality, but few bear greater marks of maniacal frenzy than the death of an infant at Tompkins, Sask., at the hands of its step -father. The evidence showed almost inhuman cruelty, ,suoh as beating the baby's hand with a whip' stock until the nails were black with bruises. The wretch would often kick the child in the stoma.eh when he became angered. Marks on the abdomen were caused by beating and not by being placed on a hot stove as thought by some' at the inquerst. The sentence of twenty years in the penitentiary might well have been supplemented by periodic applica- tion of the •lash: A ease of almost. revolting crush r occurred at .a failieien settlement near Skaro, dAalita.. A foreigner was found cul - ably responsible for the death of tis infant eon, not yet a year old,. n a drunken frenzy the • father truck bhe child repeatedly o n the hest with his clenched 'fist, break - ng its ribs.
