Stricken
ith Cholera.
Youngest Child Bled.
The chief symptoms of cholera are
vomiting, and purging occurs either
simultaneously or alternately, and are
usually sudden and very violent, and
*e matter ejected by the stomach has
L bilious appearance and a nasty bitter
taste. On the first symptom appearing
Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry
should betaken, and the trouble cured.
Mrs. E. Slade, 376 Logan Ave.,
Toronto, Ont., writes: "When, I first
arrived in Canada, nearly four years ago,
my entire family was stricken with
cholera, front which the youngest child
died. Soon after a friend recommended
Dr. B'owler's Extract of Wild Strawberry,
and acting on this advice I administered
it to all who were suffering, with the most
gratifying results. Since that first at-
tack my children have been subject
to stomach troubles, but on the first
symptoms I resort to "Dr. rowler's,"
and it always brings relief. I have
immense faith in this medicine, and
always keep a battle on hand. Also
1 'lever fail to recommend it to anyone
who is similarly troubled."
When you ask for "Dr. howler's" sec
that you get it,
It has been on the market for the past
70 years.,
There is nothing "just as good."

Villages Grow About Trades.
A peculiar form of Russian life is
the occurrence of villages devoted to
a particular branch of trade. Each
village, each district, each province
has some special occupation. Thus
one province is noted for the manu-
facture of axes, in another the inha-
bitants are all engaged in cutting
wood for fuel, in another they are
all market gardeners and fruit
growers.
In • some parts of the empire the
people all live in villages or towns,
there being no solitary dwellings.
Among the people of wealth and the
nobility there is, of course, much leis-
ure time and much of it is spent in
card playing, attending balls and ban-
quets. Card playing :teems to be
the most fashionable amt,,sement.
As in many of the countries of
Europe, much of the buying and sell-
ing is done at fairs where the people
for miles around assemble,to buy and
to sell in the order of the day. These
occasions relieve the monotony of the
life of the lower classes. Not many
years ago the peasants were all serfs.
Though they were . not slaves, they
belonged to the land on which they
lived. They could only be sold as the
land exchanged proprietors. Since
'>fhe empert gave them their freedom
a laborer gets 40 cents a day for his
work, and a mechanic 80 cents. They
pay from 8 to 12 cents a pound for
beef and other articles in proportion.
Cabbage soup with black bread gen-
erally mad of rye and a limited am-
ount of meat constitutes the principal
food of the lower classes.
A Pretty Episode of War.
Pierre Loti, the French author,
gives in L'Illustration a picturesque
account of his experiences in "going
to the front." The Boston Tran-
script has a translation of the arti-
cle. This incident is taken from it:
"There were also villagers who
journeyed with he soldiers along this
crowded highway. I remember one
very pretty peasant woman who, in
the midst of the English commissary
wagons, was dragging, by means of a
.cord, a little wagon that contained
two sleeping babies. She was toiling,
for the ascent was steep at that point.
A handsome Scotch sergeant, who was
smoking a cigarette, seated the while
with his legs hanging from the near-
est wagon, said to her in the sign
langur gc, 'Pass me your end of the
cord.' She understood, and accepted
with a gentle, confused smile.
"The Scotsman wound the frail
cable about his left arm, keeping his
right hand free for smoking;; and it
was he who guided thetwo babes of
France, whose little carriage the
truck dragged like a feather."

Seasonable Dishes.
Codfish Cutlets -Prepare shredded
codfish as for codfish balls, shape in
flat cutlets, dip in egg and crumbs,
and fry in deep fat.
Date Jelly -Stew dates until tender,
remove the stones, put in a mold and
pour over them liquid lemon jelly.
Chill and serve with whipped cream.
Halibut Rabbit -Sprinkle two .slices
of fresh halibut with salt and pepper
and melted butter, and broil until
brown on both sides. Pour over it
hot welsh rabbit.
Eggplant -Peel eggplant, cut in
slices and lay . in well salted water for
an hour. Wipe dry. Dip in flour or
meal and fry on both sides. Allow
15 minutes for cooking. The slices
can be egged and crumbed before
frying and are nicer than when they
are merely floured.
Waffles -Put two cupfuls of flour,
one teaspoonful baking powder and
half teaspoonful salt into a mixing
bowl. Add three eggs and butter the
size of an egg. After you have sift-
ed the flour make in small cakes and
bake slowly on a griddle. Brown
well on one side and then on the
other.
Chicken, Southern Style -Clean and
soak chicken in cold water. Cut in
halves. Dredge in flour and lay in
pan greased well with cooking butter.
While the chicken is cooking make
some corn fritters, using canned corn.
Season with salt and pepper and
cover with flour, enough to hold the
corn together. Fry in the same pan
with chicken. Put in thin strips of
bacon; this will give a delicious flavor
to the meat. Serve the chicken on in-
dividual meat plates, allowing half
chicken to a person. Garnish the
plate with a fritter and a slice of
bacon.
Spinach -Pick a peck of spinach
carefully and let it stand in cold wa-
ter for an hour or two. Put in boiling
salted water and let boil until tender.
Take up in a colander that it may
drain perfectly. Put in a hot dish with
a piece of butter the size of an egg.
Add half teaspoonful salt and a little
vinegar. Stir well. Chop the spinach
fine and add the dressing. You can
add a small cupful of cream if you
like.
Cucumbers in Brown Gravy -Pre-
pare half a dozen medium size
cucumbers. Cut in thick slices and
put in ice water. Let stand half hour
and drain. Simmer in unseasoned beef
stock until tender. Scoop out the cu-
cumbers and lay in a vegetable dish.
Cook one tablespoonful flour in a
tablespoonful butter. Add the stock
and stir until thick and smooth. Sea-
sonwith salt and pour the sauce over
the cucumbers.
Useful Hints.
A roast of veal will be greatly im-
proved if it is larded; this prevents
itbeing dry and tasteless when cook-
ed.
The secret of making popovers
that really "pop" is to have the pans
sizzling hot when the batter is poured
into them.
One who has noted it carefully says
that the meat from a seven -pound
fowl will make a quart, cut up, for
salad.
To brighten brass curtain rings
which have become dull, soak them in
paraffin oil for twenty-four hours.
Then polish with a chamois leather.
In place of a tape loop at the end
of a kitchentowel work a large eye-
let hole. This will be found strong-
er and more lasting, as it cannot
come off like the loop.
The best iron stand is a brick. It
is a non-conductor of heat, and far
preferable on that account to the
most elaborate open stand.
Ink stains can be removed from
oak furniture by rubbing a little
spirits of wine into them, allowing
it to remain on for a little time, and
then polishing. -
Gingerbread is made doubly good
by the addition of a few spoonfuls of
grated chocolate before baking. This
makes it richer and does not affect
the flavor.
Soap is very apt to turn white
paint yellow. For cleaning, use warm
water to which a little kerosene has
been added; this will remove most
persistent stains.
If, before putting the loaf of gra-
ham bread into the oven, you dip
a spoon in water and pat the top
of the bread with it, the bread will
not have a hard and ragged crust.
Reduce labor by simplifying duties,
not by shirking them. Furnish
houses with objects of beauty, but
let them be few in number. Curtail
the elaboration of meals without de-
creasing either perfection of service
or food value.
It oughtto be more generally
known that wheat flour is probably
the best possible article to throw

he openinn on the porch where
a drop screen i5 needed is very wide
it is often more practical to use two
narrow screens, rather than one full
size -more practical because they are
not so heavy to draw up and down.
When the bottom crust of a loaf is
so overbaked as to be uneatable re-
move the hard part of it, eut into thin
narrow strips, and these throw into
soup a moment or so before serving.
However brown they are really a
palatable addition,
GERMANY AND HER HATREDS.
The Italians Out of Favor Now, Es-
pecially Among the Bavarians.
Germany today has so many hat-
reds to cater forso many enemies to
damn, that she is no longer equal to
the task, and there are many signs
that would tend to indicate a more
sober spirit is taking the place of the
"Gott strafe" fever, says the London
Times. German public opinion is at
the presen moment the most inarticu-
late in Europe, the people have never
been permitted to think politically,
and international politics are for the
great majority a closed book. But
each day reveals more outspoken criti-
cism of Germany's foreign policy, and
the man in the street is faintly be-
ginning to realize that there must be
a wide gulf between German "right"
and that of other peoples.
I must be acknowledged that there
seems to be a well-defined cleavage in
the sentiment and opinion of the Ger-
man people on the Italian question.
The Prussians in general feel that
this new war is no concern of theirs.
In Berlin I heard it said in January
that by her geographical position, if
not for ulterior motives, Italy was
destined sooner or later to break away
from her former allies; and, though
the public is fed with all manner of
arguments, from those of the Imperial
Chancellor down to those of the va-
riety artist, to prove Italian "Machi-
avellianism" and disloyalty, it has had
little effect in arousing enthusiasm or
interest.
On the other hand, in Bavaria there
appears to be marked enthusiasm for
this new war. It must be remembered
that the Bavarians claim an overlord -
ship at least over the public opinion
of Tyrol. It is the Bavarians who in
the past have stoutly vindicated the
rights of the German party in this
Austrian province, and it is from
Munich that the Germanizing efforts
in the Trentino were directed. In
fact, I found many who advocated the
advisability, nay, who even spoke
with conviction of the necessity of
Bavaria's acquiring the northern por-
ion of Tyrol in case Italy should se-
cure the southern part, "the Tren-
tino," in return for neutrality. Now
that there is war the Bavarians would
appear to have thrown themselves
wholeheartedly into the struggle and
made the conflict their own. In fact,
the "easy-going" Bavarian seems to
have retained more belligerent ardor,
more of a war -like spirit, than other
members of, the empire. It is beyond
question that Bavarian losses have
been very great. The smaller towns
and villages are swept clean of men
capable of bearing arms. I saw few-
er men in Bavaria than in any other
section of the country, yet I found
there a more war -like enthusiasm than
elsewhere. That Italy's attitude has
been an important contributory cause
cannot be doubted.
Needles OId as Civilization.
Needles were no doubt contempora-
neous with the very beginning of civi-
zation, as they were necessary for the
fashioning of even the rudest skin
garments. In their earliest form they
were probably only strong thorns or
splinters of wood, bone or stone, for
puncturing holes through which to
draw the thread. The next step was
to make an eye in the splinter, that it
might carry the thread at the same
time that it pierced the skin, and some
very finely finished and polished
needles have been found in prehistoric
remains.
Bronze needles have been found in
Egyptian tombs that muse have been
made several thousand years before
the Christian era, and similar imple-
ments ;are known to have been in use
by the Chinese, Hindus, Chaldeans,
Assyrians and other ancient nations
at very early periods in their history.
The steel needle is believed to have
been first made in Europe as early as
the fourteenth century.
Pins are also of very ancient manu-
facture. They were made at first of
ivory, bone or wood splints, but
bronze pins are found in Egyptian
tombs, and also those, of silver. and
gold. The ancient Romans had metal
pins, also, and so had other nations.
They were made with ornamented
heads, and from one to eight inches
long. The small pin as we know it
was a more modern invention.
Slowest of Living Creatures.
Of all living creatures the ` turtle is
among the slowest in its movement
and exercise of brain power. Yet a
well-known American naturalist has
succeeded in training three of these
creatures to do ' a number of little
tricks. He places them, ono above the
other, on spools. Ifa piece of cab-
bage or other green stuffs is held out
in front of them they willHake a com-
plete circuit, all moving in unison,
keeping their balance and not tumb-
ling off. The bigger turtle will also
ring 'a bell, This it grasps in one of
its forefeet, jerks off tho ground and
then gives a shake.

PRIDE OF ITALIANS.
The Marching Powers of the Bersagli-
eri Light Infantry.
"Only those who have seen the Ber-
saglieri, the very flower of the army
of Italy, on parade or their annual
maneuvers can realize the great mili-
tary strength that lies in this force,"
according to the Manchester Guardian.
"The name: literally means `marks-
men; but those who compose he force
are considerably more than this, and
it would be difficult to select any
other torps in a European army that
compares with them. The Alpine
troops of the French army are proba-
bly the nearest approach.
"It is no uncommon thing to find
men serving in this magnificent body
of light infantry who represent the
third and even fourth generation of
their family who have carried the
short rifle and worn the familiar dark
green `smasher' hat with its proud
cockade.
"The chief pride of the Bersaglieri
is their marching powers. During the
war between Russia and Japan the
distances covered by the infantry of
the latter power were regarded as
almost incredible, and it was asserted
in several quarters that no European
troopscould vie with them in powers
of endurance. The Italian light infan-
try accepted the implied challenge and
speedily showed that not only could
they cover the same amount of ground
with comparative ease but that they
could go one better and yet finish
fresh.
"They gave rather a curious ex-
planation of their powers -that when
die men are marching they are sup-
plied with a large amount of ordinary
loaf sugar, which sustains them bet-
ter than anything else could do, and
at the same time does no need a halt
to be called for them to consume it.
"The Bersaglieri is for the most
part composed of men of much better
social standing than, the rank and file
of the Italian army, and they claim,
with considerable justice, descent from
the famous army of some 70,000 men
that; under. Charles Albert, confront-
ed the armed might of Austria in
1848, and formed the backbone of the
Italian army in the Crimea six years
later. Here it attracted general ad-
miration from its excellence of organ-
ization, equipment and discipline."

NEW WORK OF SPIES.
Overrun Italy as Calamity' Howlers
With War Reports.
A leading Italian police official, who
has been engaged in repressing es-
pionage, has made the following state-
ment:
"All nations at war with Germany
have had to realize that their coun-
tries are covered with a network of
spies. No country has been so open
to such attentions as Italy, which for
so many generations has been over-
run by travellers of every description
and nationality. The lower classes
have a rooted conviction that all
travellers do odd things, and there-
fore it causes no surprise when tour-
ists spend days in sketching land-
scapes and architecture which to the
native are entirely uninteresting, but
which may have their strategical
value.
"Even since the war broke out
travellers of German or Austrian na-
tionality have been caught photo-
graphing railway lines and fortifica-
tions, and one was shot at Augusta,
Sicily, by a sentinel the other night
as he was engaged in laying dyna-
mite cartridges under an important
bridge.
"Another more insidious form of
injury is the mysterious starting, all
over the kingdom, of depressing and
discouraging reports regarding the
war and is prospects and the dis-
semination of war news always more
or less unfavorable to Italy. Women
who have relations at the front are
told that the Government is hiding
their losses from them, that the num-
ber of men killed from their particu-
lar district is enormous."
Thackeray's Appetite.
Starving Belgium would have a spe-
cial appeal for Thackeray since it was
at Antwerp that the novelist, who
loved his food as well as any man,
enjoyed one of the best dinners of
his life, says a writer in the London
Chronicle.
It consisted, he wrote, "of green -pea
soup, boiled salmon, mussels, crimpled
skate, roast meat patties, melon, carp
stewed with mushrooms and onions,
roast turkey, cauliflower, fillets of
venison, stewed calf's ear, roast veal,
roast lamb, stewed cherries, Gruyere
cheese, and about twenty-four cakes of
different kinds. Except five, ' thirteen
and fourteen, I ate all, with three rolls
of bread and a score of potatoes."
Those twenty potatoes that Thaek-
Bray enjoyed at Antwerp to maintain
his six -foot -three of bulk remind the
reader of the dreadful disillusion of
Charlotte Bronte when she came to
London and sat opposite her literary
lion at dinner. "0 Mr, Thackerayt"
she cried in shocked surprise as she
watched him eat. She had never
imagined a hero who ate potatoes by
the score.
THE SIifIDAY SCHOOL
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
JULY 25.
Lesson IV, -Solomon Dedicates the
Temple, 1 Kings 8, 1-53.
Golden Text; Iso. 56. 7,
Solomon's Prayer (Verses 22-30).
Verse 22. Solomon stood before the
altar -In 2 Chron. 6. 12-42 we find
another version of Solomon's prayer,
Verse 13 of chapter 6 says that Solo-
mon had constructed "a brazen scaf-
fold," or platform, before the altar,
about five feet above the level of the
floor, upon which he knelt when he
prayed in public, Although in verse
22 (of to -day's lesson) we read that
"Solomon stood before the altar," in
verse 54 (of chapter 8) we learn that
Solomon was in a kneeling posture
during the prayer, that "he arose
from before the altar of Jehovah,
from kneeling on his knees with his
hands spread forth toward heaven."
As he threw himself more and more
into the passion of his prayer, he na-
turally went from standing to kneel-
ing.
23. Who lreepest covenant and
loving -kindness with thy servants,
that walk before thee with all their
heart -God always, in the mind of
the Hebrew, kept covenant and show-
ed lovingkindness; the seeming viola-
' tion of the rule of the divine charac-
ter grows 'out of transgression on
man's part.
With thy Servants -Solomon wants
for himself and the house of David
the same promise which Jehovah
made to all Israel. He assumes that
the promise in general will have a
i fulfillment in particular. He is
I, doubtless familiar with the expecta-
tion expressed in 2 Sam. 7. 12 and 1
r Kings 2. 4.
25. There shall not fail thee a
man -See 1 Kings 2. 4.
26. Let thy word, I pray thee, be
' verified -All of Jehovah's promises to
David, but particularly the one con-
cerning the building of the temple. In
Psa. 132, 8, 14, David speaks of the
ark in the sanctuary as the resting
place of God on earth.
27. Will God. in very deed dwell on
the earth? -This question has always
come to the mind of man. The intel-
lect cannot visualize the presence of
Ithe Almighty upon the earth. But
the heart sees him everywhere.
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit?"
(Psa. 139. 7-16); "Heaven is my
throne, the earth is my footstool"
(Isa. 66. 1). See also Jer. 23, 24;
Acts 7.49.
Behold, heaven and the heaven of
heavens cannot contain thee -These
words indicate the widest conceivable
compass of heaven. The same
thought is found in Dent. 10. 14. God
is not a local or finite deity. He
is the God of all lands, all people, and
all times.
28. Yet have thou respect -The
Hebrew reads, "Yet thou wilt have
respect." Solomon does not doubt
the answer to his prayer.
29. Toward the place whereof thou
hast said -In Deuteronomy there are
many indications that God would
choose a place where his name should
be (Deut. 12. 5, 11, 18; 14. 23; 15. 20;
16. 2, etc.). The choice of Jerusalem
seems to have been especially re-
vealed to David (Psa. 78. 68; 132. 13;
also 1 Chron. 22. 1.)
Shall pray toward this place ?-
That is, 'toward. the temple. Only
the priests were allowed to enter the
temple. All other worshipers had to
worship "toward" the temple. Hence
in foreign lands the devout Hebrew
turned his face toward Jerusalem
(Dan. 6. 10; Jonah 2. 4; Psa. 5. 7;
28. 2; 138. 2.)
Just a Jokelet.
During the lessons one afternoon
in a public school a thunderstorm
arose, and, seeking to lessen the
fright of the children, the teacher
began an entertaining discourse on
the wonder of the elements.
"Jimmy," said she, finally turning
to a bright little youngster, "can you
tell me what lightning is?"
"Yes, ma'am," was the ready re-
joinder of little Jimmy, "lightning is
streaks of electricity."
"That's right," smiled the teacher,
encouragingly. "Now tell me why it
is that lightning never strikes twice
in the same place."
"Because," answered Jimmy, quite
easily, "after it hits once the same
place ain't there any more."

The Greatest Cake Ever Built.
Housewives, how would you like to
bake a cake of the following dimen-
sions and ingredients: Eighteen yards
long, eight yards broad and more than
one-half yard thick, containing thirty-
six bushels of flour, 200 gallons of
milk, one ton of butter, a huge quan-
tity of yeast and 6,000 eggs? Such
a cake, probably the largest ever
made, was served in June, 1730, by
Frederick William I., King of Prus-
sia, to his army following a huge re-
past. The 80,000 soldiers, already
glutted, could not eat the entire cake,
and remnants of it were distributed
among the inhabitants of neighboring
towns and villages.
Too much to Ask.
Mabel -I don't know whether to
marry Jack or simply be a sister to
hint. Is he every way eligible?
Edith --0, yes, as a husband, but
imagine having such It boob for a
brother!
