One of the most valuable acquisi- tions to the menu at this season of the --ear is that old "standby" -- rhubarb. A hardy plant and easy of cultivation, it is to be found in. nearly every kitchen -garden, or it may be purchased at a moderate price .from your greengrocer. Rhubarb, properly_ cooked, and daintily served, is a delicious, ap- petizing article of food, but the mushy, stringy '`stewed rhubarb" and the soggy, more- or less mutil- ated "rhubarb pied- which is so often to be found even in well regn- lated households, shows only too conclusively that a more exhaustive study of "rhubarb cookery" is to be recommended. In plariting rhubarb, or in pur• chasing it, care should be. ts,ken to select a variety the skin of whin. is a deep pink at file mots. This skin when cooked with rhubarb gives it a beautiful pinkish color, and if, as has been said, "eyes do half the eating," then we should consider all these minor polies ilii cookery. While rhubarb is seasonable from April to September, ,t may be put up in glass jars and used for pies, puddings, etc., during the winter months. It is also delicious when made into marmalade, jam or pre- serve, and will keep indefinitely. There are various ways of "can- ning" rhubarb, all of which are more or less successful. In any event, the 4talks should be well washed and cut up into inch pieces. If the skin seems tough, it should be removed before cutting. One method of canning rhubarb is to fill a glass jar, which has been tern- ized, with the etit rhubarb, hold under the cold water faucet until the water overflows and every bit of air has been excluded from the jar, then screw on the cover and place in a cool room. No cooking is ;necessary until ready to use; then treat in the way you would the fresh fruit. Tt will 'keep all winter if put up in this way, Rhubarb Marinaladc. Peel the ,yellow 'rind from ,slx Grants very thin, and with a eels r 'e 'a:t in fine strips. Put in a saucepan with one - hall cup of water and boil till ten- der. Cut the oranges in two, re- move the seeds and, with the glass lemon squeezer, extract the juice and pulp. Now pint the pulp wi)i the cooked orange peel and juice in your preserving kettle, add to it two pounds of cut rhubarb stalks and one and one-half` pounds of granulated sugar.

Lyre thrill las a : Miuule--Bawer Birds Play Rouse. One of the peat eharrxxs of bush life. in Australia, and especially in Queensland, is the melody of the birds, which are among the most 'beautiful in the world. A move- ment is now on foot to prevent the destruction of the native birds—at least those which do. no damage. The children are being taught to encourage birds to build their nests near the habitations of men ,nd to feed them, so that they will not depkrt for tile 'unsettled parts of, Australia, where they can sel dont or never be seen. probably -the finest songster in the bush is the lyre bird, says a correspondent of the London Globe, and it is a groat loss to bird loiters that it has become so rare. Its strikiing plum- age . has been largely responsible: for,its: downfall, The gorges along. the mountain slopes where the coastal rivers take their rise are its favorite natural abode. There its mound nest is to be found, and its liquid melody can be heard at almost any how. of the day, but particularly about sunrise and just before sunset, The lyre READ THE LABEL ;OSUMTEHRE• PTHOETEICNTOOFENTSCO PLAINLY PRINTED ON .1'NE LADEL, • I'1' IS THE ONLY WELL« KNOWN, MEDIUM', PRICED BAKINQ POWDER M.A.DE frN CANADA' THAT D p E S NO1 CONTAIN .

MMONI'NEAL bird is also known as the mock- ing bird, and ,many a sportsman. has 'been deceived by these birds mocking others, and enticing hiin into the thicket under the impres- sion that it is inhabited by the num- erous birds which the -lyre bird mimics. The bower bird is another beau- tiful bird. . A peculiar character- istic of these' birds is the habit -they have of constructing bowers op. playhouses in which to amuse them- selves, The ;bowers ,of the spotted variety sometimes reach three feet in length.

LAWRENCE INVESTMENT & TRUST COMPANY. was incorporated by act of the Quebec Legislature, 6 Ed. VII•, Chan. 75, in 1905, having for its obieot theex- tending and absorption of the St. Lawrence Investment Society. This Society, formed in 1895, carried oh a successful bueiness on a small scale, paying regular annual dividends varying from 5 per Dent. to 15 :per Dent., and the assets gave the shares of the Society a, value, .8 about $150 at its abeorption.: The Charter under which the new Company is organizod is a very valuable one, it being difficult to obtain a Charter of like char- acter. The powers conferred by it are 'wide and give an opportunity for the transaction'' of a profitable busi e. FUTURE OF THE COMPANY. The new .Company will do business on a snuoh Iarger scale than, the old Company, will •operate largely. in theowning of, buying . and Bolling of well selected . real estate, in the development of tracts of land in the City .and ;its suburbs by, selling same as Factory Site's and building lots, and in the purchase of agreements of sale, a business vent .profitably' engaged in in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and other Cities. The purchasing of agreements of sale has not, to any extent, been carried on. in Montreal,. and it fe intended that this Company pay particular attention to •th:is Branch which shows even better op- portunities of profit, with a larger margin of safety, than those, of the West, inasmuch as the values of E,eal Estate in Montreal are more firmly based. FIELD OF OPERATION. The operations of the company will be confined chiefly to the City and District' of. -.Montreal, and there le no City which offere the same advantages to Investors seeking safety with large returns. Montreal'e commercial supremacy in the Dominion is universally known. The population in 1901 was 266;826; and in 1912, 611,397. The assessed valuation of Real Estate in 1912 showed an increase of $125,000,000 over . tho pre- "vious year.' Montreal i3 an Wand, therefore its area is fixed. Real Estate values, though increasing, are still low and loave room for great expansion. The City: proper covers an area of 18 square miles, the smal- lest area of any city with the same population in either Canada or the -united -States. MANAGEMENT. The Company have appointed Findlay & Howard, ,Limited, Managers. Mr. Findlay fe recognized as one of the foremost ,fudges of Real Estate in Montreal, and the Firm'ssuccess is shown in the results of the - following Companies managed by them, which in addition: to' placing substantial amounts to reserve ` have paid dividends as follows:— Applemount Land' Company, Limited, Hinman Realty Company, Limited, .
