No mother should allow nervous
• weakness to get the upper hand of
her; if she does worry will rear her
fwork in the home, and torment her
an body and mind,
: It is a good plat to keep a supply
of old newspapers for spreading on
the kitrlaen table when cooking;. Old
1 catalogues and exercise hooks also
come in handy for standing pots on.
To remove fruit stains from tea-
cloths or serviettes apply a little pow-
dered starch to the stained parts and
leave for several hours, The starch
will absorb all the discoloration.
In sewing on buttons if the knot is
placed on the right side of the cloth,
directly under the button, the thread
will be less likely to break and be-
' come loos•eneci, and the button will
' remain on longer.
To get rid of moths a few drops of
oil of lavender on some small pieces
of ]slotting -paper and place them.
among clothes you have stored away.
This is very effective for keeping
moths away.
Never throwaway soap suds,
Poured at the roots of trees and vines
they are most beneficial to the growth.
Used for mixing starch they impart a.
gloss to the linen and prevent the iron;
, from sticking.
Persons who are accustomed to use
land
for sweeping their carpets!
f and find they leave stains should sub -1
stitute sonic freshly cut grass. It:
answers the same purpose and gives
: a brighter and fresher appearance to l
the carpet.
Much of the excellence of -well-
'cooked vegetables depends upon the
proper use of seasonings and sauces.°
The seasoning selected should un-;
doubtedly be suitable for the dish, but
so much depends upon custom that
only general suggestions can be;
made. The Italian and some other
races are fond of garlic, the Germans:
of summer savory of "bohnenkraut"
in string beans, and the English of
mint with peas. Each housewife must
select the seasonings which her fam-''
fly prefers, and endeavor to use them
in such a way that the special flavors
may be most satisfactorily brought
out.

instead of oil, but the olive oil blends
itself better with the eggplant. If
instead of ham you use hashed mut-
ton, cooked rice anti a bit of garlic
and pimento you may call this dish
"eggplant a la Turcque."
Eggplant and Tomatoes.—Peel the

Five New Ways to Use Lemons.
Lemon Pie.—Two slices of stale
bread, two-thirds of an inch thick;
one cup of boiling water, one cup of
sugar, one tablespoonful of butter,
the juice and grated rind of one lem-
on, two eggs. Dissolve the bread in
hot water; add the sugar, butter,
lemon and the yolks of the eggs, well
beaten. Bake in a moderate oven.
When done make a meringue of the
whites of the eggs and pile on top.
Brown in a very slow oven.
Lemon Souffle.—tine cup of sugar
one tablespoonful of butter, two
tablespoonfuls of flour, the juice and
grated rind of one Iemon, one cup of
milk, two eggs. Cream the butter, •
sugar and flour together. Add the
juice and rind of the lemon, then the
beaten yolks and the milk. Add the
well -beaten whites last. Bake in a
• pudding dish placed in a larger pan
half full of boiling water. This is a
most convenient pudding to make int
a hurry, as it does not need a sauce.',
The top is a delicious souffle and the
bottom a creamy sauce.
Lemon Butter.—Half cup of water,
half cup flour, half cup of sugar, one
egg, salt. Boil the water and add the
flour mixed to a paste. Then add the
sugar, the egg well beaten and a
pinch of salt. Cook -until stiff and
creamy. Take off from the stove and

BULGARIANS' IN LONDON.
Would Rather Fight for England Than.
Own Country.
With war between England and Bul-garia, one may see in London the curl- I
ous spectacle of Bulgarian citizens in
British uniform. Some of them, in
the light blue, hospital uniform, which
is worn by the wounded, have return-
ed from fighting in Flanders, and
others have just enlisted and are
about to go to the front.
Most of these Bulgarians have had
an ardent admiration for England
and have, without becoming natural-
ized, contrived to enlist in the Cana-
dian force. The Bulgarian colony in
London is not large, but it is said that
most of the Bulgarians of military
age are enlisted in the army.

Warned in Time.
"You say, Mr. Smith;" said the girl,
in' a low, thoughtful, this -is -a -serious=
matter sort of tone, "that you have
loved me for five years and have,
never dared to tell meso until to-
night ?"
"Yes,", he replied.
"Well.} I cannot be your wife. Ai,
man who 'has no more courage than
that' would feign 'to' be asleep while,

Mayors of London used to he elect-
ed for life.
MRS. BRAWN'S "CHANGE AND REST."
By Mrs. Nellie L, McClung, Calgary.
On March 17111, 194, there passed away Jane, beloved wife of John
met Brown, aged thirty-one years, She leaves a husband aseven small children
to mourn. her loss.
"Thy will he done."
"I don't know what I'll do," besaid—
And a big tear splashed on his sunburnt band—
"Here's spring upon us, my wife is dead,.
And leek at the summer's Work I've planned!
I've bought more land, there are rutin to feed,
And hired girls are a careless breed.
They smash your dishes and waste your stuff,
And never think they are getting enough,
And they always boil the tea!
It wasn't quite like my Jane to quit,
She's always been so full of grit,—
At least without sayin' a, word to rte,"
"Then she wasn't ailing?" the minister said.
He had come when be heard Mrs, Brown was dead,.
To try anti comfort the ones bereft.
"0! she grumbled some, as women will,
But she never cost me a doctor's bill.
Ain't this au awful way to be left?
She was a dandy, was my Jane,
Strong as a home, and never complain;
I'll never get her like again,.
Once when I had gone to bed
She'd stay up to thump .out, loaves of bread,
And when I got up, her wort: of the night
Was there, a bunch of them, brown and light,
I tell you it was a splendid sight!"
"I suppose you often told her so,"
The minister said. "Well, I don't know;
I never was one to make a show.
But though I never said so straight.
l guess she knew I liked her gait,"
"I suppose she had help?" the minister said,
As he looked at the work -worn hands of the dead,
"The house is large and the children small;
One pair of hands could not do it all."
"We tried a girl for two or three days,
• But I couldn't stand her dirty ways.
Jane was patient and thought she'd learn,
But she broke far more than she could earn,
Of course we always had 3,1iss Frame
Out there for a week when the children carne;
And I tell you 1 hated to pay for a week,—
A dollar a day to that old free;,—
The house was one continual row.
OI I know well *what I'm in for now,"
"I suppose yen always told your wife
That she was the joy and pride of your life;
That home wasn't home without her face,
And haw much you missed her fromher place?"
"Well, maybe I didn't say so straight,
.But I said things were in an awful state,
And I was tired of cold bailed tea,
And Miss Frame couldn't quit too soon for me,
I told her may mother was never in bed
Two days in her life till she lay there dead—
I've often and often heard that told;—
She died when I was t*wo days old."
"A splendid helpmate to sou was given.
You have children. too?" "Yes, six or seven,
The youngest of them has not been strong;
Weneverknew just what was wrong,
See, here are the kids:" and hi two short rows,
Six children sat irr their Sunday clothes,
Kind -faced women were busy thereunwontedBestowing upon them unwonted care.,
But the sad old wonder was in their eyes
Which only comes when a mother dies.
The littlest one, with the withered hand,
Nobody thought he could understand;
But he gathered up' the uir of gloom,
voice his rang out in that quiet room.
If ever a batty spoke despair,
That little one cried: "It is not fair!"
"Came out awhile, the father said,
"That kid', sharp voice goes through my head."
Outside was a day of sparkling sun,
Which warns old Winter his days are done;
The cattle fed at the oat straw stacks,
Bnioying the sunshine on their backs;
The fat pigs did long tunnelling stunts,
Filling the air with contented grunts; -
A young colt frolicked beside the mare '
That lazily yawned in the soft spring air
As she nosed it about with motherly care;
While hens and roosters cackled and crew
And openly gossiped of propects, too,
"You bare lots of gnachines," the preacher said,
Looking around at the rakes and drills
Which had overflowed from the big red'shed,
"You've paid sonic big machinery bills!"
Staehines were there, --blue, green and red,
A threshing machine with a canvas head,
While broken ones were weathered and grey,
As if they'd lain there ninny a clay.
"We have to have them," said Mr, Brown,
No matter what we have to pay,
The seasons are short, and it's up to us
To make the most of every day;
These things cannot be borrowed or lent,
So it's foolish to scrimp for the sake of a cent,
But of course a man must use his sense,—
People try to do you every day.
It isn't more than a month ago
A fellow came all around this way,
And he was surely a smooth-tongued gink,
And was bound to sell me a kitchen sink!
Jane would have taken it on the jump
Par she's always wanted a kitchen pump;
But I showed her 'twould give us no return,
And told her I hadn't no money to burn."
Then the neighbors came and laid heraway,
And they blamed the Lord in the same aid way;
And they wondered how, if God: is good,
He could take her away fromher little brood.
But looking down on that tired face, ,
The minister knew what had taken place:
The Great Physician, from the skies,
Had looked on her with kindly eyes
And prescribed the cure He thought the best:—
"For Mrs. Brown: A Change and a Rest."
Then He did, as the country doctors do,
Not only wrote it but filled it too.
So the minister blushed as he read the word:
"Inasmuch as it bath pleased the Lord."
And all the way home the gray bird's song
Piped out, "It's wrong! It's wrong!"
Mrs. Brown passed out on St. Patrick's Day,
Mr. Brown dried his eyes .by the end of May.
He painted his buckboard, and looked abroad,
And decided he'd try Bud Thompson's Maud.
For Maud was willing and big and strong,
And he thought she'd be able to get along.
So he went to Maud, and laid his case,
And told her he thought she'd a lovely face,
He had always liked her quick bright ways;
He believed he'd marry her some of these days;
DMshe think she'd like to' be his wife?
But Maud replied, "Not on your MelOf endless" work I'm afraid I'd tire,
For an early grave I've no desire;
You've had great success in working land,
Now, at'hous'ework, why not try your hand?
When you've worked at that a Month or two
You'll learn *the truth as your poor wife ]meow
Your work has been done by gas and steam;
By man and tool, and four-horseteam;
Year yard looks like a machinery shower,
But your house all ran on woman -power,
And one day, of course, the power gave mit,And- that is how 'i't comes about
That you must fill that woman's place,.
And you think.I have a lovely face!
You'd like it, well, if I 'would come
And pitch right in and' make things hum!
But I am wise, and - so decline:
ou' e very kind, but ••not for mine!"
John Brown drove very slowly, down the lane,
And wished he hadn't lost poor Jane.
