$elle:-1, The family of the bride
issues the invitations and announce-
ments; the latter are sent out, to all.
friends of both bride and bridegroom
whom they wish to know of the event;
they should be mailed on the same day
the, ceremony is performed. 2. Ac-
cording to an old superstition, a bride
on her wedding day should wear
"something old, something new, some-
thing borrowed and. something' blue" to
insure happiness. 3. It' isusual to
give a fee; to ,each of the clergymen
who officiate at a wedding, especially
as the one who is to pronounce the
benediction is the rector of the church
and is set aside, as it were, in favor of
an old friend. 4. The bride's father
(or family) pays for the church de-
corations and for the carriages to and:
from the church. In. fact, the father
stands all the expenses except the
wedding ring, the clergyman's fee and
the bouquets for the bride and brides-
maids. These are all paid for by
the -bridegroom.
F. B.:-1. You can stir mixed paints
more easily if the can is kept stand-
ing upsidedown for a few days before
opening. 2. Add a teaspoonful of
Epsom salts to each gallon of water
when washing colored materials and
the colors willnot fade or run. 3. It
is a good plan, when using a recipe for
the first time, to write on the margin
the amount it makes ar the number,.
that it will serve, as a guide iii the
future.
Summer Girl: -1. Try a "planting"'
game for your garden party. Cut
from cardboard 'a number of little
shovels and write on each a question,
having them ready before the party
begins. The following questions axe
suitable and you can think up several
others: "When I planted a sweet and
a bunch ` of grass, what came up?"
(Candytuft). "When I planted a wild
animal, and a covering .for the hand
what came up?" (Foxglove.) "When
I planted in the afternoon what came
up ?" (Four o'clock,) "When I plant-
ed Boreas what came up?" (Snow-
flakes.) "When I planted Chanticleer
what came up?" (Coxcomb.) "When I
planted Romeo on a dull day what
came up?" (Love in a mist.) The
leader reads out each question and the
first one to .answer receives the spade
on which that question is written. A
prize can be given to the one holding
thegreatest number of spades. 2.
The guests on their arrival should en-
ter the house. Set aside a room for,
the boys and one for the girls. 3. The
pink frock will be quite the thing for
the occasion.
Eousekeeper:-1. Paraffin that has
become unclean through usage in can-
ning and preserving may be cleaned
and reused. Don't throw it away be-
cause dirt and trash have become mix-
ed
ixed with A. Many times paraffircan
be cleaned with a brush' in cold water:
If this does not remove all the dirt,
heat the paraffin to boiling and strain
it through two or three thicknesses
of cheesecloth placed over a funnel, or
a thin layer of absorbent cotton over
one thickness of cheesecloth may be
used as a strainer. One straining
should be sufficient ordinarily, but if
the paraffin still is unclean heat and
strain again. Any paraffin lodging
in the strainer may be recovered by
heating the cloth and pouring off the
hot liquidto another strainer, 2. For
sandwiches use bread a day or two old;
fresh bread will always crumble. Then
use a very sharp knife, dipping it in
hot water: to make the cutting easier.
Trim off crusts and use butter that is
slightly softened. When leaking let-
tuce sandwiches do not trim off the.
crust until you insert the lettuce, then
cut it off with the. Brush. For fillings
use chopped nuts and lettuce, chicken
and lettuce, or chopped dates in brown
bread, lettuce and mayonnaise, grated
cheese, or ;minced ham and salad
dressing in white bread. 3. The pro-
blem of keeping linen or lace table
centres from creasing when not in use
is happily solved by winding them
round long cardboard rolls covered
with chintz. 4. To remove mildew
spots, wet the linen with boiling water,
wring dry; then dip in sour milk, lay
in sun and cover thickly with salt. Or
apply a raw apple crushed to a pulp
and nixed with salt. 5. Burning sul-
phur in a room will disinfect it
thoroughly.
Historian: -1. The Treaty of Lon-
don, the "scrap of paper," as Von
Bethn'iann-Hollweg called it, was sign-
ed on April 19, 1839, by Prussia,
France, Great Britain,, Austria and
Russia, The Treaty of London de-
clares: -"Belgium . . . shall form
an independent and perpetually ueu-
ural State". The implications of per-
petual neutrality are well summed up
in "A Short History of Belgium by
Leon Van. Der Essen, at- page 159:
Permanent neutrality is established
not so much for the peace of the coun-
try concerned as for the rnainterlance.
of peace" between other countries.
Therefore the violation of neutralized
ground is a casus belui of the most o'p'en
and unmistakable sort. 2. The Germans
call their country the Deutsches Reich,
or German Empire. By the "Ger-
man confederation" do you mean the
present empire? It consists of twenty-
six States, four kingdoms, six grand
duchies, five duchies, seven principal-
ities, three free cites and Alsace-
Lor-raine. It is not a union of equals,
for some of the States enjoy specific
powers not possessed by others. Prus
sia is most highly favored: ,;The em-
peror must come from her royal house
and because of her large representa-
tion no change in the Constitution can
1e made without her consent. There
is no parliamentary government of the
empire in the sense in which it exists
in Great Britain, for the Chancellor is
not answerable to the Reichstag, or
parliament, but.ronly to the ruler, 3.
Aisne is pronounced Tike "ain". 4.
Cuba, Haiti and Santo Domingo are
the West Indian republics.
Standard Reader: -1. Probably the
cause of poor results with spinach Is
inferior seed: 2. Very often a child
such as you describe' grows up to be a
very attractive and useful woman. It
is all, a matter of training. As a rule,
punishment has not a beneficial effect
upon a nature like this. Much depends
upon your own attitude towards her.
Always take for grapted that she is
going to do the right thing. Never
for a moment imagine that she will
do wrong. Hold tip high ideals and
let her see that noble conduct is ex-
pected of her. Most of us, young and
old, try to live up to the high opinions
our friends have of us. Never scold,
,nag, or preach. Never make com-
parisons between her conduct,and that
of some other little girl. Never tell
hershe is like Aunt so and so. Praise
every right thing she does, no matter
how small. This is very important.
Give her good books to read, such as
"Little Women". I shall be glad to
hear from you again.

--The common drinks of the Orient;
here symbols of the material anct
spiritual blessings promised in the
preceding chapter. All these may be
secured free of all cost. Wherefore do
ye spend -Addressed primarily to the
Jews in otl.er lands, especially in Ba-
bylonia. Many of them had acquired
wealth and,adopted the customs and
the religion of their new home. But,
in the opinion of the prophet, all the
wealth of Babylonia cannot satisfy;
hence he urges the exiles to turn from
the disappointing, material things to
the enjoyment of the blessings of the
kingdom of God.
8. Everlasting covenant -The ' n-
joyment of material blessings is con-
ditioned upon spiritual regeneration,
the coming into vital, personal rela-
tionship with Jehovah (Jer. 31-34).
Sure mercies of David -The loving-
kindness promised irrevocably to
David and to his dynasty (2 Sam. 7.
11-16). The new covenant will em-
body all the essential elements of the:
earlier promises, and will be; as ir-
revocable as the earlier covenant.
4, 5. Comparison between David, a
party'gin the earlier covenant, and the
servant Israel, a party in the new
covenant. As David occupied' a
unique position among the nations in
his day, so Israel is destined to occupy
a unique position in the future. A
nation -Better, people. Foreign peo-
ples, unknown to Israel, will 'flock
eagerly to it and to Jerusalem (Zech.
8. 20-23). Glorified -He has ap-
pointed to Israel a glorious position.

united to Jehovah can become partak-
ers of the glorious promises, hence the
prophet urges the indifferent and god-
less to repent and turn to Jehovah,

tion.

of the divine purpose being frustrated:
Jehovah's thoughts, words, and pur-
poses abide forever.
Protection of Crops.
Crop protection means crop produc-
tion. Canada loses, over one hundred
million dollars worth of her staple
crops every year. through the depzeda-
tions of insect pests. A large portion
of this loss could be prevented. As
we cannot afford to lose the smallest
portion of our grain and;ather food
crops during the present; critical
period when the production of food` is
of supreme importance, the .Dominion'
Department of Agriculture is making
every effort to prevent, so far as pos-
sible, losses due to insect pests. Crop
protection'niust gohand in hand with
crop production, \
Insect pests arenot usually noticed
or reported until, they have caused
considerable damage. Therefore it is
urged that the cldsest watch be kept
on all crops for the 'first appearance
of any insect pests or darnage. Im-
mediately such damage is observed
steps should be taken to control the
outbreak in- its incipient stage. If
the pest or the method of control is
unknown specimens of the insect and
its injuries should be seiit at once to
the nearest of the following sources
of expert assistance: The. Agricul-
tural College, the Provincial Depart-
ments of Agriculture or their local
District Representatives, the officer in
charge of the nearest Dominion En
tomological Station, or direct to the
Dominion Entomologist, Department
of 'Agriculture, Ottawa, for examina-
tion; and advice in: regard to control
measures will be .furnished without de-
lay. Letters and packages up to 11
ounces in weight may be mailed to_
the Dominion Entomologist, "Free,"
but postage will be required on letters
or specimens sent to the other sources
of advice mentioned.
Do not delay reporting insect out-
breaks or sending inquiries; delay may
involve serious losses that could other-
wise be prevented. Write immediate
ly, or telegraph if the outbreak ` is
serious. Clean farming, the secur-
ing of vigorous growth in young
plants and good cultivation are the
best protective measures against in-
sect attack. Keep all crops constant-
ly under supervision, for the first ap-
pearance of any damage in order that
it may be checked without delay. In-
creased crop production involves in-
creased protection against pests,
Don't Wash Eggsi
Except for immediate use or for lo-
cal customers who use fresh eggs soon
after delivery, never wash eggs even
if soiled. Egg investigations show
that millions' of eggs spoil unneces-
sarily because they were washed or in
some way became wet before going.
"into cold storage. Washing eggs dis-
solves and removes the natural gelat-
inous covering which prevents germs
of decay: from getting through the
pores of the egg shells.
Neither should 'eggs to, be stored in
water glass or other preservative be
washed. If shells are badly soiled,
better use the eggs for cooking pur-
poses and -spend the time needed for
washing eggs in keeping "the nesting
material clean and providing clean dry
litter' in the laying -rooms.:
