Many a man, and many a wom kr that matter, is pining in th of single blessedness wh might have merged into the su shine of matrimony long ago if the lead been quick-witted enough t see their change, or bold enou. to take advantage of it when the saw it. Though matrimony is serious step in life,. yet itJias ofte been brought about by a joke, fo if one of the partyhad not bee. euffidiently witty to perpetrate or the other had not been sufficient y smart to see' and take advantag of it, the happy union would neve have taken place. For instance, a doctor who had been attending a lady friend for some time. was, .on her recovery; askedh• wathscharewould be. He replied that he seldom or never ;made a definite 'charge to his pa- tient -friends, being well content to leave the matter, not only to their own time, but to their awn sense of what was due. ``But are you not often very dis- appointed with the result," ask -ed the lady. "I may say that I never am," said the d ctor. "As you are so easily pleased, here, then, said the lady, giving the doctor her empty right hand, whilst she kept concealed a cheque for a handsome amount in her other hand. "How easily I could have taken you in l" she said a moment later, laughing in the doctor's face and showing him the cheque. "`On the contrary," said the.doc- tor; `"you have only sueceeded in drawing me out. Don't insult me with a cheque. 1 am most gener- ously rewarded, and could wish nothing better," and he looked down at the empty hand which•he had refused to relinquish. Such a plain hint could scarcely be mis- understood, especially if the lady waa not particularly anxious to Misunderstand it, and in this ease, at least, it resulted in a happy marriage. A lady with a fine figure, having taken a fancy to a ring which she ,saw ticketed in a shop window, 'went inside to examine it, "It is exceedingly lovely. I wish it were nine," she said on satisfying her- self. "What smaller figure will tempt you `i ' "No other figure than the figure before me," he said, giving her an admiring look at the same time; "it is exceedinglovely. I wish h I could tempt you with the ring." "I think I'll take it," she said, laying down the money, amidst !blushes. Of course he accepted the money, but, getting her address, he made such good use of the hint that the next ring which she got vas given by him in church. Y.

"LIQUOR RINGS" WART. South Africans Successfully Elude the Watchful Police. As an instance of the widespread ramifications and cunning methods of the Rand liquor sellers, who are widely known as. "liquor kings," and who try to dodge the police by every conceivable manoeuvre, the following may be mentioned as the very latest triok which has been de- tected. No less than eight dozen bottles of doctored "lop" brandy were found in the possession of two natives, who appeared to be driv- ing a laundry vac` in the, vicinity of the Simmer Deep Mine. The bot- tles were 'hidden beneath . what looked like bundles of so-called laundry. The white bosses ofnthis nefarious traffic cannot be reached, as they invariably work everything from behind the scents;: They are said to have their residences in swell places of the suburbs, travelling to and from the city in their motors. They are on a level with the illegal gold buyers.

The leaders of both gangs are pretty well known to the Criminal Investigation Department, but they are too wary to be caughtwithin the meshes of the law. The Prime Minister's promise to adopt drastic measures for the -suppression of the traffic is welcomed. LIQUID SULPHUR.

If statistics are to be believed prosperity and drinks go hand in hand in England. There has been more work and more drinking dur- ing the last twelvemonth. Public houses (on licenses) have decreased by 10 ' per cent. since 1905. At the end of 1912 they num- bered 88,608, but the con , victims for drunkenness in 1912 erwe 18,- 252, being 10,462 more than in 1911. "An increase in convictions," states the report, "may be ,due al- most directly to the extinction of licenses-e.g., the drunkard may be driven from his old haunts in a back street, -where he used to soak unseen, out into the open, where he is arrested." " London, with a total of 50,382 convictions, shows a far higher pro- portion of convictions for drunken- ness (calculated per 10,000 of the estimated population) than either the county boroughs or the non- county boroughs. During February, March and April, 1912 (the months of the min- ers' strike), there was a persistent decline to far below the corres- ponding regard of 1911. "There was a still snore rapid and persistent rise, with the return of good work and wages, till July.. The 1912 figures for Greater Lon- don, unlike those for 1911, show a decline in June and July (the months of the transport workers'. strike). In August,when that was over, the figures rose again." A.

Jahn A.rehibeld Ruddick Wes Born iu Oxford County, A despatch the other day an- nounced that we were in danger of losing our primacy in the British oheese market to the New Zealand- er, That prinmaey was probably due to 'a large extent to the imznense advertisement we gave ourselves by making the biggest cheese in the world, That cheese was manufac- turod in the, fall of 1892 lathe Cana- dian Pacific Railway station shed at Perth, Ontario, and wont sent. to the World's Fair in Chicago the next year. It weighed 22,000 lbs., and required for its making the equivalent of the September milk ing of 10,000 cows. After the fair was over thecheese was shipped, to England where it was widely exhi- bited and called attention in a startling ,manner to the cheese- makers of Canada. Their cheese had already . made ite prominent plaoe for itself in. the, English mar- ket; but that place was enormously enlarged as a. result of the unique advertisement, which was fully sup- ported by the quality of the Cana - diem article. The man who had. charge of the making of that cheese was Mr. John Archibald Ruddick, then a member of the staff of the Dairy Department for the Domin- ion, sinoe 1900 the Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner and ,official', chief of the dairy interests for Can oda, An Oxford County Man. At the time he superintended the making of this ghant cheese, Mr. Ruddick d ck lied for .a decade been a figure in the cheese -making world of Canada, He was ,at the time just. thirty years of age, having been born. of Scotch -Irish and United Empire Loyalist stock in the rich county of Oxford. It was natural enough that he should turn his attention to dairying and make a success of it, for Oxford, has long been one of the premier counties of the Dominion. in cheese and butter making. It was not Oxford, however, that gave him his chance, though it, did lay a Mr. J. A. Ruddick. broad and a strong foundation of knowledge for him. It was under the "cheese king," Mr. D. M. Mac- pherson of Lan easter, in the east- ern end of the province; that Mr. Ruddick got his most valuable ex- perience xperience and made his name. When twenty: years of age he entered the service of Mr. Macpherson as man- ager of one of his factories and for five years before 1888 he, was super- intendent of a combination of sixty factories, which Mr. Macpherson then controlled in Glengarry and in Huntingdon, P.Q. Soon after this it was that Mr. Ruddick entered the service of the Government as a member of the staff of the Dominion Dairy Com- missioner. For three years he was. a travelling instructor of the East- ern Dairymen's Association, and at this time did much to spread im- proved methods of 'cheese and but- ter -making among the farmers of Eastern Ontario. When Queen's University established its dairy school in 1894, he was made super- intendent and remained in charge of the fortunes of this institution. until four years later, the .school in the meantime having been taken over by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Went to. Now Zealand. It_ looks very much asif he would haveto lay some of the blame for the competition which our cheese is now meeting from New Zealand on the shoulders •. of Mr. Ruddick. When he severed his connection with the, Kingston Dairy School in 1898, it was foe the purpose of en- tering the service of -New Zealand, where he remained for three yea, -s and slid much to lay the foundee tions of the cheese industry in that colony, Mr, Ruddick, by the way, is only one of a .numbor of Carta- than experts to build up the dairy- ing interests of other countries. New Zealand` has taken fora time no rebs than three other Canadians for this purpose, while even Great Britain and the United States have drawn upon our cheese and butter - makers to assist them in improtaing their methods. �.r.' , Y. 'II . Ruddick's life has in a reW markable manner paralleledthe period ofrowth of dairying in Canada This, is partsoularly trite rif cheese -making, with which he has been most closely associated; When he was born, about fifty mil - lieu pounds of butter was being, made in Canada, ' but the cheese producta•n eutated to only about four 1nildion Dennis. This, of course, was chiefly for horse eon- 'sumption, the export of dairy pro- duce on •a considerable scale not arising till five or six years, later.` The total amount of butter made in Canada at the time of thelast cen- sus has not been figured out; but ten years earlier it was one hun- dred and fifty million pounds. This is a three -fold increase, and `prob ably in 1910 it was nearly fourfold. The growth of the cheese produc- tion has been much greater, it be- ing over two hnzidred, million pounds in 1907, an increase of fifty- fold,—Francis A. Carman in the Star Weekly. U Si+; OF . MIDDLE NAMES. Distinction Permitted Only to Roy- alty 400 Years Ago. People have not always been al- lowed the pleasure of having as many names as they wished; in- deed, 400 years ago not even a mid elle name was allowed in England; It was illegal. The old Engllish law dyes definite and admitted of no in- fraction of its ruling. The only ex- ception in this ironclad regulation was in the case of persons of royal rank. .If they really wished it, they, couldboast of a meddle name, but woe to the person of ;ordinary rank who was sufficiently unwise se or,ob - stnrte to insist on having more than two appellations. For the first_ offence he would. very likely be tied to a whipping postand severely, lashed.: For a second offence he would endure some more lasting punishment— perhaps the removal of his thumbs or ears And if he still persisted in his stubbornness he would be hanged. There is a, ease on record. of 'a poor man—in ;all probability half demented—who insisted on signing four names every time he wrote his signature to any paper. Of course, he passed through all the legal stagesof punishment until he was finally hanged. PROTECTING ST. PAUL'S. High Pressure Water -System In- stalled, at Top of Dome. Now that the cross above St. Paul's leas been regil"ded it is .not likely to be allowed again, to gather. the accumulations of London's smoky atmosphere as it did during the previous half a century. Hy- drants have been placed recently in the lantern below the ball and cross, and by means of a high, pres- sure supply they will be utilized Periodically to clean the golden cross. The hydrants have been intro- duced as a result of an experiment last year,, when it was found that two of London's most powerful mo- tor fire engines, coupled together, were unable to throw water from the ground level to the top of the dome with, sufficient force to be. of any use in cosof Dry e fire. D y mains have now been laid to a consider- able height, with outlets at differ- ent points, and from these the fire- men work should the necessity: arise, the engines 'being coupled to the other ends of : the mains. - s • BUILT RIGHT Stomach, Nerves and Thinker Re- stored by Grape -Nuts Food. The number 'of persons whose ail-. tnents were Snell that no other food could be retained at all, is large, and reports are on the increase, "For 12 years I suffered from dyspepsia, finding no food that did not distress me" writes a Wis. lady. "I was reduced from 145 to 80 lbs., gradually growing weaker until I .could leave my bed only a short while at a time, and became unable to speak aloud. "Three years ago I was attracted by an article on Grape -Nuts and decided to try it. "My stomach was so weak 1 could not take cream,' but I used Grape - Nuts with milk and lime water. It helped me from the first, building up my system; in a manner most as- tonishing to the friends ,-who had thought ;my recovery impossible. "Soon I was able to take Grape - Nuts and cream for breakfast and lunch at night, : with an egg • and Grape -Nuts for dinner. "I am now able to eat fruit, meat and: nearly all vegetables for din- ner, but fondly continue Grape - Nuts for breakfast and: supper.

In the late autumn there is . a period when peaches, grapes and pears have passed their .prime and oranges, grapefruit, apples and nuts have not yet reached theirs. Then the housekeeper and cook must pat their wits to work to give their menus flavors. Preserved ginger helps th solve the problem, le m, sof far as desserts are concerned. Ginger cream is one of the good things to make with this candied fruit. The ingredients needed for it are a cupful of inilk and a cup- fulof cream, half an ounce of gela- tine, the yolks of three eggs, two ounces of sugar, a little lemon jelly,. two ouncesof candied or presery ed ginger, some diced candied fruits, and half a gill of ginger syrup. If you use preserved ginger drain off the liquid in which it is pre- served. If you use candied ginger soak it• for half an hour in just enough water,to cover it, and then simmer . it gently for 16 minutes. Drain and use this syrup and use the drained ginger where candied or preserved ginger is called for: Melt the jelly and pour it with the candied fruits in the bottom of a mould. Tip the mould from side to side to side until the 'jelly,hard ens, so that the ginger will be held in place evenly over the bottom of the mould.. Heat the milk in 'a double boiler and pour. ib slowly. over the egg yolks, beaten. Then thicken thiscustard in the double boiler. Remove it from the fire and add the sugar and the gela_ tine, dissolved in the ginger syrup, Cool it; Whip the cupful of cream, add the ginger, cut in "small pieces, and stand it aside until it is al- most set. Then pour it in the mould and let it harden. Serve chilled Quickly Made Ginger Cream. A quickly and easily made ginger cream is this: Whip a cupful .of cream, add the juice from half a lemon and the syrup from . four ounces of preserved ginger. Mix this and then add two ounces gran- ulated sugar and four ounces of r ginger, nger, cutin small dice. Pile it in long-stemmed cups and serve at once. Ganger souffle must be .served the moment it is done. To make it, boil half a cupful of . milk. Mix an ounce of potato flour, an ounce of sugar and ounce and: a half of but- ter, and add them to the milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is thick and smooth. Then add three egg yolks, beaten, and remove im- mediately from the fire. Cool it and. add the whites of four eggs, whipped light. In. the mean time prepare two ounces of preserved ginger by cut- ting it in small pieces. and add this to the souffle immediately after ad- ding the whites of the eggs., Pour it' into a greased tin and bake 30 minutes. Serve from the tin in' which it . is baked, with a little` sugar sifted over the top.

To clean lacquered ,, articles, brush with hot water and mild soap, wiping dry before the fire and finishing with a soft cloth. Do not use alkali or soda. It will remove the <lacquer. To mend rubber use soft kid from an old glove and paste the patch to the gum with " automobile paste. The leather adheres better to the gum than a. gum patch. To save gas, remove the tip and insert a small piece of cotton in the pipe and replace the tip. This lee - seas the pressure, and:a more even and softer light is obtained. When you clean the" ebony brushes on your toilet table, stab a little vaseluse over the backs be- fore you wash the bristles, as this" prevents the soda or ammonia in the water from injuring the ebioriy. The vaseluue should afterwards be removed by polishing the backs with a dry cloth. To `clean much -soiled hands : do not go to work roughly,with brush and soda water, but loosen the dirt by rubbing the hands well with sweet oil or even lard or dripping. Then wipe off the grease as ,much as possible with a piece of soft pa- per or old rag,' and wash the hands with warm water and soap, Laces can be both•"creamed;' and "starched" by rinsing them" in water to which a well -beaten egg has been added. To keep- butter cool dissolve a lit- tle saltpetre in cold water, put this in a large bowl, and stand the ba- sing containing the butter in it, 'al- lowing the water to reach nearly- to early to the top of the butter bowl. Cover the small bowl with a piece of muslin, placing the'ends" to rest in the saltpetre water. This will keep it as cool as if placed on ice. To clean a brass preserving pan, after ` a thorough' washing ,with warm water and soap and rinsing, wet a clean piece' of flannel in com- mon vinegar, then dip it in salt and scour out the pan very quickly till all. ,the spots and dimness have disappeared.
