Mexican Relish. — Thirty --ix green, tomatoes (medium size), five large onions, five ,green peppers, one cep sugar, three cups vinegar, two table- spoons salt, one teaspoon cloves, one teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon all- spice , one teaspoon white mustard seed. Chop tomatoes and onions fine, cover with the salt, let stand over night; in the morning pour off the brine, add all the other ingredient, but peppers; after cooking ten niin- utes add the peppers, chopped fine. Let boil one hour. This relish will ; keep without sealing. Apple Flame.—For eight apples use two cups sugar, one cup water, rasp- berry jam, little rum or brandy and one cup beaten cream. Pare and core apples, boil sugar and water together ten minutes, arrange apples in butter- ed baking dish two inches apart, add syrup, cover and bake until apples are tender. Be careful to preserve shape of apples. Remove from dish, boil syrup until thick, fill cavities in ap- ples with jam, pour syrup around them, and just before serving pour over them rum or brandy. Light and serve. The apples are delicious with- out the rum or brandy served with a. little whipped cream. Some house- wives aid chopped nuts to jam in fil- ing. Preserved Quince.—Pare and quar- ter the quince, remove the core, and take equal weight in sugar. Cover the quince with cold water and let them come to a boil slowly. Skim and when nearly soft put one-quarter • of the sugar on the top. , When this boils add • another part of • they sugar, and continue this way, until all the sugar is used up. Let them continue to boil slowly until the color is either light or dark, as you prefer, or, an- other •way, is to cook until tender,. drain and' put in a stone jar, with an equal weight of sugar, and cover. They will keep fully perfect They will be Iowa" more tender than when cooked in the syrup.. Watch the first month to see if there is -any sign of ferment- ation. If so, heat by setting stone jar in hot water until thoro:aghtly scalded. In cooking quince one may add equal parts of sweet aple, which makes an excellent preserve. t ROSEBERY NOT COMING TO CANADA SAID TO ADORN EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES. to a small pan and simmer while the Could have Been Governor-General meat is cooking.

It is really amazing how many fair- ly good cooks fail in the simple art of gravy making, who, instead, serve up insipid greasy brown water that real- ly spoils the meat. Yet it is the easiest thing in the world to make well and add immeasurably to the pleasure of a meal Real gravy is the juice from the meat which rein out in the course of cooking, so it. is a very valuable part of the food and should not be wasted on any account. To make these juices really nice, seasoning must be added, and ht some instances a slight thickening is cor- rect. Gravy for roast beef, mutton or lamb should • be unthickene&, and the best way to make it is the following: Put arty trimmings, such as' gristle ar odd, rough pieces from the meat, in- Household Hints.

A brilliant polish may be given to brass door fixtures ornaments, &c., by washing them in alum and lye. Make a solution by boiling an ounec of alum in a pint of lye and wash the articles in it. When putting away the flatirons, if the house is to be closed for any length of time, take the precaution of rubbing them over with a little lard; then there is no danger of their rust- ing.

Both Sous Soldiers Both Lord Rosebery's sons—Lord Dalmeny, formerly M.P. for Edin- burghshire, and late of the Grenadier Guards, and Mr. Neil Primrose, M.P. for the Wisbech diision of Cambridge- shire—are serving withthe colors. He himself has taken a great part in recruiting work, and seldom has that voice, whose organ tones have made its owner famous, been raised to bet- ter purpose than at Scottish recruit- ing meetings since the war started. Lord Roseberry is honorary colonel :of . many Scottish regiments, and is, be- sides, captain -general of the Royal Company of Archers, which is the : King's Bodyguard for Scotland. A• man of immense wealth is Lord Rosebery, His country seats, of which The Durdans," near Epsom, is his favorite --three years ago he made a very handsome gift of lands for a park to the people of Epsom as a " proof of ray deep and abiding af-.. `• fection for the place and people "— are places of luxury, and some of them of rnagriticience, but they are all stamped with that ball -mark of awe perlative good taste which is Lord Rosebery's own It is his distinction' to adorn everything he touches. He' made racing almost romantic. He touched a lofty, if lonesome,, note in polities. His essays in'literature have an incomparable literary style about them—they are veritable gems. Lord Rosebery himself is a large landowner, between thirty and forty thousand. acres (mostly in Midlothian) belonging; to him. • OLD AS DAYS OF JERE4'IIAH. °^ Book in Synagogue at Shechem is Jealously Guarded.

Considerable alarm exists over the possible consequences to British pris- oners of war in Germany because of reports of food shortage there, re- ceived from sources generally regard- ed as reliable. While he was unable to give a de- finite confirmation of these reports, Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade, discussing the reported food shortage in Germany, said ; " I am so impressed by the reports of a food scarcity, that I trust the existence of such a condition will not be made an excuse by the Germans to cut down the necessary food of their war prisoners. For such an action would produce a terrible storm of indignation in this country, great- ly increasing the bitterness of the struggle—the most bitter in history. Canadian. Timber Values.. According to a recent Commerce Re- port the values of the various classes of timber produced in Canada in 1914, together with the values of the forest products; total ;176,672,000. • being divided: as follows: Lumber, lath and shingles, $67,500,000; fire wood, $60.- 500,000 pulpwood, $15,500,000; posts and rails, $9,6.00,000; cross ties, -$9,- 000,000, square timber exported, $400 000;. cooperage, $1,900,000; poles, $700,000; logs exported,'$850,000, tan- ning material, $22,000; round mining timbers, $500,000; miscellaneous ex- ports, $800,000; miscellaneous' pro- ducts $10,000,000: Maker of Epigrams As an all-round speaker there is nobody in the United Kingdom to touch him. Every resource of the orator is at his command, and he ex- cels in every style of speech -making, whether the speech in question be one in Parliament, on the politidal plat- form, at a recruiting meeting, or af- ter a dinner. He can be impassioned ironical, dramatic, and jocular, by turns and at will. And always he carries with him the good -will, if not always the assent of his audience. Yet Lord Rosebery does not love making a big speech. . He is always fearful that his hearers may find it boring—a quite ungrounded fear, by the way. Nor does he love listening to a big speech. That nearly always bores him. When Mr. Gladstone formed his Ministry, a new Lord Chancellor (Lord Herschell) -presided over the debates of the House of. Lords. The first evening he took his seat on the Woolsack, all the big guns among the peers thought fit to ad- dress the House.. " There, now you have heard the worst of them," said Lord Rosebery at .length, slipping over to his colleagues to proffer com- fort. But, whatever his opinion of the great speeches he has made, he is, undoubtedly, not a little proud ,of his reputation as a maker of epigrams. He was a prime -favorite with Queen Victoria. She summoned him to the Premiership of her own motion, with- out asking the advice of Mr. • Glad- stone, the retiring Premier, who, as it happened (as we know from Morley's: Life of Gladstone) meant to recommend Lord Spencer to the Queen. It was whispered, in his Fashions in Sumner Fabrics. Summer finds us very much inclined towards stripes, in linens pongees, tussahs, voiles, crepes and the 'earl- ous imported and domestic novelty cottons, The ground of these mat- erials is usually white, or the na- tural crash or linen color, and the stripe, either a vivid or a soft tone, according to the purpose of the frock, or the fancy of the wearer. These striped materials are usually combined with a plain f brie, corresponding with the color of the stripe, or the ground. On the Russian blouse models, and the other designs. Norfolk, and the various peplum models, now so well liked, the striped. silk or linen is used for the coat, and the plain for the skirt, or vice versa. Another Find in the Upholstery Department Last summer we took cretonne froze the upholstery departfent and trans- ferred it in great quantities to the dressgoods counter; still on the look- out for novelties. we discovered this season, that the plain and striped cot- ton and linen homespuns, intended for summer cottage furnishings, were charmingly suited to sports suits and skirts, being especially practical for those which require a bit harder wear than the ordinary linen or silk gar- ment will stand, Time also have the natural crash and linen grounds, and are striped in the same tones, bar- ring the softer shades, The black anti white combination is espeeially smart, and there are bright green, purple, orange, and a wide choice of the other In an ancient Samaritan synagogue t at Sehechem a double roll of parch -1 went is guarded jealously and is as zealously preserved. It was to She - chem that Abraham came in his first visit to Canaan. Near Shechem Jacob sank his fa. - mous well, and the returning Israel- ites heard here for the last time the ; voice of Joshua. Shechem was the first residence of the Kings of Israel and was a city of refuge. Here, at Jacob's well, Jesus met the woman of Samaria. Here the great Justin Martyr was born. After the division of Israel into two kingdoms, Shechem became the religious centre of the northern kingdom, and Jeroboam's self-appointed faith degenerated into the Samaritan worship of our Lord's day, which is perpetuated in the old synagogue which holds this scroll. This double roll of parchment, says the Christian Herald, possibly the oldest in the world, contains the first That books of the Old Testament and may be as old as the days of Jere- miah, who said s " This word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Take thee a roll of a book andwrite therein." CUPID CONSCRIPTION NOW. Merchants, Taken For Arany, Marry For Business Reasons. Cupid and Mars have always gone hand in band, and the present war, as far, at least, as England is concerned, has proved no exception to the rule. At the beginning of the war, when, hundreds of thousands of young men were volunteering, the marriage rate went up with a bound. Couples who had been engaged for years and were} waiting for the time when their mater_ ial circumstances would justify the taking on of new responsibilities, de- cided to marry before the man went to war, and thousands of love matches were thus completed. To -day Cupid is trotting along with one hand in that of Mars and the other held by Commerce. The coming of conscription for all has led to an- other crop of marriages from other motives, for the men with little busi- nesses usinesses who expect to be called to the colors at once are taking to them- selves wives in order that they may have someone whom they can trust to leave behind in charge of these businesses. Everywhere in the little newsvendors' shops, sweet shops and small groceries and tobacco shops one sees new faces, the faces of young and capable looking women who are busy learning the mysteries of commerce under the tutelage of the men who formerly ran the businesses. POILU REFUSED TREATMENT. Paris Paper Attacks the Sentence Imposed Upon Him. The sentence of two years' im- prisonment inflicted recently by the •eourt-martial of Tours, France, on a soldier for refusal to submit to elec- trical treatment has caused some comment. The Paris Temps, in an editorial, points out that the. Tours judges dealt with the soldier as if he were on active service and not on the hospital , books, inflicting the full penalty provided by the military code for' disobedience,; The editor de- tected, it says, an attempt at fraud on the part of the prisoner, or else they themselves failed to consider the case in all its bearings. It is not per- missible for a patient refusing to sub - .mit to a treatment both painful and dangerous, or a wounded man refus- ing to submit to an operation, to be classed as guilty of ordinary dis- obedience.

Combinations of Figured and Plain Materials in Lingerie Frocks - As we combine stripes with plain ma- terials in our sports costumes, so do we combine figured with plain fabrics in our lingerie and tub frocks, both for grown ups and for small girls. There are sprigged and dotted dimi- ties, embroidered and printed voiles; flowered organdies, embroid- ered mashes, and batistes, each with its corresponding plain material, to 7194 Flower. ed Organdy with _ Georgette 3t j AND IoECRE T 1' SOU) BY ALL ggor SFS £ _3PAL5 R9 WcnN BY E`lEi?Y KE/Ri3 1t ai IME Fii".i;C, Goias; �.. •-� '�- rose-bud and white dimity trimmed with frills of Valenciennes lace and insertion, is being displayed in the smart chops, for the little miss of two or three summers. The flowered, printed ar embroider- ed crepes and voiles are very pretty used this way, and there are printgel silks being combined with plain taf fetes and satins, in the same way, for afternoon frock:. Handkerchief Linen for Blouses For blouses, both of the sports type and the more dressy models, the striped anti figured handkerchief lin- ens are modish. These have usually wbitet grounds with catered strips, flower, or conventionalized Lateen. The stripes are much more in evid- enee than the figured linens. For the costume blouse Georgette a epo is the general favorite. In white or the soft tones of pink, blue, cafe au last. Nile green, and the various oth- er pastel shades, this material washes perfectly; the dick tones are excellent and are practical for the tailored suit, being selected to harmonize, or match the sliade of the suit. Linen and Georgette are often eem- bined most effcetitvely in the ,mart afternoon models for country club, and lilt© wear. One unusually attractive costume shows a Rus len blouse of mauve color Gene „ette worn with a full, sliorb skirt of mauve linen; an- other imported mr;:lel, made on Rus- siau blouse lines, show, the novel combination of foulard and muslin; the blouse is of the muslin and the Skirt oo Foulard Trimmings for Lingerie Dresses Much narrow Valenciennes and filet lace edging and in'ertiton is used to trimthe dainty muslin and voile dresses this summer.
