After several years of indigestion and its ' attendant ' evil influence on the mind, it is not very surprising that one finally loses faith in things generally. An Eastern woman writes an in- teresting letter. She says: "Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis 'which' left nee in a moat miserable condition.

The .LateDonald ;Alexander ,Shirk lewod His; Way to FOr tune. In eonamon with many others H,whose navies are 'closely identified with the pioneer days in Canada, Donald Alexander Smith canie,from Scotland to hew, almost in a literal sense, his way to fortune. Born in Archieston in 1820, his parents be- ing Alexander Smith and ]3arbara, daughter' of De aid Stuart, Leen- clew], he et an early age felt the lure of the land overseas and at the age of eighteen came to Canada. This was in 1838,. a year rafter Queen Vietoria had ascended the throne and at a time when Lord Durham was governor-general of British North America, He did not snake a blind venture, he having previous to leaving Scotland, se- cured a post with the Hudson Bay. Company,' He was stationed on arrival ab Mingen Island on the inhospitable :Labrador °oast, and for thirteen years in that lonely land, icebound' in winter and storm ridden for the greater part of the. year, he pursued his work with un- failing perseverance and that spirit of unswerving determination• des- tined to reap rich rewards. At this period a post in the ser- vice ,of the Hudson Bay Company was on a par with appointments to the 'East India Company's service. Positions of the kind were regarded as highly desirable and attracted the adventurous sons of many of the best of the middle-class of Bri- tain. A. Typical Incident. An .incident which throws a light on his ready acquiescence, where the instructions of his superiors were concerned, occurred some years after he took up the work at Mingen, His ambition was such that he longed for a wider field and in the hope of being transferred to Montreal, he undertook in the fall a trip up the St. Lawrence to Montreal. On arrival, he informed Sir George Simpson, the company's factor there, that he believed he could be of greater service if shift- ed to the larger station, adding that his health was not robust. Sir George was unsympathetic and, so runs the story, contrived that the physieianes report on the. young man's physical condition should not bear out the plea. On being• 4 - prized that he had better return, Donald Smith cheerfully submitted. Navigation having closed, he was forced to make his way back along the dreary coast, but his good tem- per was unfailing. First Real Chance. His chance came in 1851, thirteen years after the prison -like confine- ment of Labrador. He was detailed to- go to the great' northwest, at that time a land marked by only a few scattered settlements and trad- ing posts. His sterling abilities had forced somewhat tardy recog- nition but fortune •having once ta- ken hold of the young Scotchman clung to him persistently. In the early fifties the "Aroostook inci- dent" .caused friction with. the United States, and the result was a tightening of •the bonds between the provinces. Upper and Lower Canada ' had become united and Donald Smith became resident gov- ernor and chief commissioner`' of the, company in Canada. • Red River Commissioner. Though a clash with the southern republic was averted by diplomatic means, domestic troubles arose. Thosewere stirring days in the northwest, and ,presently the smouldering hostility.•of the Indians. and half-breeds broke out into the flame of the Red River rebellion. It is significant of the public confi- dence reposed in' Donald • Smith that, in' 1869, when it was deemed advisable to appoint a,conamission- er to probe into the underlying cause of the insurrection, he • was named as the man. Tact, strength, with a leaven of Scottish prudence, and the faculty of quick decision— these were united 'in him. It was a man's sized job that he had to handle and he handled it. The Red. River trouble was settled expedi- tiously and • Donald Smith, then about fifty years of age, loomed large in the view of Ml Canadians. Hlg. Clear Vision. Politics oalled ' him, Ile stood for the ,Winnipeg constituency in the legislature.- Of course, he was elected, He was no ordinary polis tician seeking• to curry the favor of his electors ..by, attontioxi to rneretiy 1°613,1 affairs. It is doubtful if ,any othee mail in Canada, at that time had such a clear 'vision. He saw the country of the future, not as a few . widely separated centres de- pendent upon the eonrparative1y brief season of navigation for inter... trade; but a country securely link - ell by bands! of steel, A transconti- nental railway--tfaat tvae the thing, In season and out he urged ib til in Ottavra some nonce was taken; Sir John Macdonald became. aconvert and the ;Canadian Paeifle Srife and Sound!

Newspaper and maga- zine articles' innumerable have been. written about him and in all of them the 'designation "empire builder" is inevitably given. It is true that he profited personally by his foresight, that he built up an immense fortune of many millions by his ability to see clearly what other men saw dimly or not at all. But Canada was chiefly the gainer. Appointed High Commissioner. His ,political career really reach ed its zenith with the building of the C.P.R,, but be did not retire from politics until 1896. He was federal member for Selkirk, Man., from 1872 to 1876 and for Montreal West from 1887 to 1896, when he was appointed High Commissioner. He succeeded Sir Charles Tapper. It was thought by many at that time that the Laurier ministry might not desire the continuance in the lofty office of a previously vig- orous political opponent, but when the commissioner proffered his re- signation Sir Wilfrid made the- spe- cial request that he remain.

The honor of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George was conferred upon him in: 1896, and he. was made a baron in th.e#ensuing year, taking the title of : Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal. In" 1908 the Grand Cross of the Victor- ian .Order was conferred upon him. Other honors bestowed 'froxn time to time were those of fellow Royal Society, doctor of laws, privy cillos aixt deputy lieutenant. Lord Strathcona's generosity was one of his marked •characteristics, Having, acquired many :pillions, he was in a position to distribute lav- ishly, and he did so. Particularly notable were his benefactions in the direction of promoting education and the fostering of all movements definitely directed towards streng- thening the treng-thening'the ties of empire. Numerous ,Benefactions. In 1896, jointly with Lord Mount Stephen, an early associate in rail- way enterprises, including the C.P.R. and the Sb. Paul, Minnea- polis and Manitoba Railway, he gave a million dollars for the founding' and endowment of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Later he gave almost a. million dollars for maintenance. He founded the Roy- al Victoria College, the first of the kind for women. McGill Univer- sity knew him as most loyal of all its supporters. He provided Strathcona's Horse for service in the. South African War, at a cost H of about $2,000,000. e showed great interest in bettering the con- dition of the poor of London, and institutions far and wide learned to look to him for support. The cause of music and art claimed much of his attention, and as a col- lector he gained distinction. "Great wealth, he said, "can- not bring happiness. It must come from a eoutented mind and hard work. Great wealth is a burden, for onee lids• to think very hard how to make the beat use of one's mon- ey.

Eggs With Brown Butter.—Melt three _tablespoons of 'butter in the blazer, cooking it until it is a dark brown, If you like the flavor of onion you may put cig1'1, or ten drops of onion juice with the butter. Break as many eggs as you wish or the chafing dish will hold, side by side, putting each one in a saucer by itself so that the. yolk ,and the white may not mix, and sliding it from the saucer into the blazer. Dip the butter up with a spoon and pour over the eggs. Just before you take up the eggs, after they are set, add a small teaspoonful of vinegar to the .sauce, sprinkle the eggs with pepper and salt, and'serve on toast or crackers, Eggs Poached in Milk.—Heat a cup of milk in the chafing dish over hot water, and when it is scalding slip eggs into it as directed in the foregoing recipe, breaking each egg into a .saucer. Baste the eggs with hot milk and cook until the whites are set. Then take out carefully and lay on slices of hot buttered toast. This may be moistened with a little of the milk in which the eggs were cooked. An added touch of savoriness is given to -this dish by spreading each piece of toaat lightly with. anchovy paste. When this is done use no salt on the eggs. Fricasseed Eggs, 1. -Fry half a teaspoon of minced onion in a table- spoon of butter in your blazer, stir into this a tablespoon of flour, and pour upon it a cup of soup stock or gravy.

Every normal child likes ata', oc- casional sweet, and an occasional sweet in the way of dessert, is note only not harneful,'bttt good, for th ' normal child. The sweet should bel eaten immediately after the mea1,1 hence itcan best he served as a pare 'of the dessert. The teeth should be washed, of course, .after every meal' -and, incidentally. the child who once forms the habit of washing its teeth regularly will be: uncomfort- able when it forgets to clo so. ]?spea eially the teeth should be thorough -i ly washed after eating sweets of any kind, so if candy is indulged in be.- tw•een meals the. mouth and teeth should be immediatelywashed• Of s course, candy should nob be indulg- ed in betweeai meals; but a little milk chocolate, eaten at a specified time between meals is not so harm- ful when the teeth are washed as when they are not washed. For? the sugar remaining in the mouth forms an acid which decays the en- amel of the teeth _ and so leads to serious cavities. .Milk Chocolate Wholesome. -_ t Milk chocolate is probably the most wholesome sweet for children. Ii possesses real nutritive value and !so should be considered a part of • the child's food. Hence it should be given with meals, to do the most good as a dessert. } They Love Candied I'suit.—Cans died fruit is wholesome, too. It can be made at home without much trouble, but it can be bought in gocd quality of any reliable dealer.; Candied peel—leinou, orange and, grape-fruit—are difficult of diges-' tion and should not be confused with candied fruit when plannin„ a treat for children. Barley Sugar 11Q'altirful. Barley, sugar is not injurious It possesses the disadvantage of molasses Dandy! -it must be held in the mouth in. order to be dissolved. But if a stick of barley sugar, flavored with some pure fruit juice, be given after dessert no ill results will be pros. duced, FAMILIAR PHRASES. e Terris of Speech the Meaning of Which Has Passed. 'He's a brick," is an everyday e pression, but it is not generally known ' that it was coined by Lycurgus, the great Spartan lawgiver, 2,800 years ago, When Lycurgus was asked if it would not be advisable to build a brick wail around Sparta, he replied that the city already had a wall of men and every man wag' a brick. How many collectors know the orie gin of the word "dun"? Early in the 19th century an English constable, John Dun, became celebrated as a first-class collector of bad debts. Sub- sequently a persistent following up of debtors became known as "dunning." "Take him down a peg" is a famil- iar expression whieh dates back to the day of the great Saxon primate, St. Dunstan. To put a stop to hard drinking and brawling, he made a law regulating a man's drinks by means of pegs in the ale tankards. The peg being adjustable, it was so placed as to regulate the size of the drink. When a man began to get too lively or pugnacious, the peg was lowered in his mug. From this grew the ex- pression "taking him down a peg." Everybody has heard or used the familiar expression: "Tell that to the marines," but how many know it was first popularized by Lord Byron? In his poen!, "The Island, the following lines appear: But whatsoever betide, ah, Neuha! •,now Unman me not; the hour will not allow le tear: I'm thine whatever inter- venes, "Right," quoth Rod, "that' will do for the marines."
