of chocolate. Let boil. Set aside
to cool. One capful of sugar, one-
half ettpful of butter, one-half cup-
ful of sweet milk, two eggs, one tea-
spoonful of vanilla, one and three-
fourths cupfuls of flour, one tea-
spoonful of soda. Stir in boiled
chocolate, and bake in loaf.
French Date Cake.—Take two
cupfuls of granulated sugar, six

eggs and beat again hard. Fold
in the flour lightly. Bake in mod-
erate oven.
Cake Making.—fever beat eggs
for a cake. Drop the unbeaten
whites in the last thing and stir
first enough to mix well with the
batter. This is against all ecienti-
fie roles for cake making, but after
one trial you will not doubt, such
soft, moist, light, fluffy cakes are
the happy vomits.

off first), and pour out on greased
plate. Can use English walnuts or
hickory nut meats.
1N THE LAUNDRY,
Boil Starch.—Boil starch well to
avoid sticking when ironing thin
dresses and. shirt waists. Have a
yard of cheesecloth well wet and
dampen article as required; it will
save both time and patience and as-
sure good work. A good sleeve
board can be made by smoothing off
a piece of board and pad and cover;
screw to under part of ironing
board, where it worn be ready ofr
use.
Madras Curtains—When launder-
ing madras curtains instead of put-
ting on the stretcher try this sim-
ple but practical way: Take curtain
while still wet and put on the cur-
tain rod; also put a heavy rod os a
weight in the lower hem. Hang one
as a time at an :open window and.
stretch the desired width. This
scheme is.especially good for barred
curtains, as they are sure to be
even.
Lingerie Ribbons.—Narrow rib-
bons such as are used in lingerie
may be freshened by this method:
Wash with any scented toilet soap,
ur white soap will do; rinse in sev-
eral clear waters in which a bit of
borax has ben added, and while
still wet draw over a dull knife or
scissors, and they will be almost as
good as new.
Washing Fluids. — Five cents'
worth of lump ammonia, five cents'
of salts of tartan, one box potash.
Dissolve in a gallon of cold water
and keepin
a jug. When washing
use one cupful with a bar of soap
to a boiler of water. This recipe is
fine to wash flannels in when luke-
warm.
Starch Help.—A teaspoonful of
kerosene added to starch gives a
fine gloss to clothing and prevents
starch from sticking ng while ironing.
USEFUL HINTS.
Scrubbing brushes should always
be hung up when not in use.
Pull lace gently, opening the
mesh with the left hand as you iron
with the right. •
Cutting onions, turnips and car -
ruts across the fibre makes them
more tender when cooked.
Cheese is an excellent substitute
for meat, and there is infinite vari-
ety in the ways of preparing it.
All embroideries and colored gar-
ments should be, ironed on the
wrong side whenever possible.
To brown the upper crusts of pies
and tarts, before putting them in
the oven brush with a little milk.
For a rusty stove sprinkle lemon
juice liberally over the rust before
blacking and polishing the stove.
The housewife should never allow
her floors to be painted ; they should
be stained, shellacked or waxed,
Mix pastry several hours before
it is to be rolled out, and much la-
bor is saved and a better result ob-
tained.
Thin brown bread and butter
sandwiches are the most appetizing
accompaniments for fish salad of
any sort.
It is said that ink stains on white
goods and also on the hands may
be removed by rubbing them with a
ripe tomato.
Whole cloves scattered plentiful-
ly among clothing in dresser draw-
ers will keep away moths as effectu-.
ally as camphor.
Iron rust stains should be washed
in oxalic acid melted in hot water..
Rinse with pore water and a touch
of ammonia.
Fat is a preventive of neuralgia,
and people who stiffer in this way,
but dislike fat meat, should eat lib -
orally of thin, well -buttered bread.
A dozen grains of rice in a salt-
cellar will absorb dampness and
keep the salt•in powder. It also
auks die lumps that there may be
in salt,
Eggs strengthen the consumptive,
invigorate the feeble, and render
the most susceptible all but proof
against jaundice in its toast rualig-
tient'phase.
Flutter should be. bought in small
quantities, owing to the feet that
it gniekly becomes musty, and for
the same reason it should be kept
serupuously free from damp.
In stewing fruit, boil the water
and sugar for fifteen minutes, thou
add the f ruit, and simmer gently
till tender. This method keeps the
fruitwhole, izo e, a t t d itretains its full
flavor.
When roasting meat in an .open
pan, wet a clean white muslin cloth
and ley over the top of the meat.
It will keep from getting hard and
does not require bastingso often,
and the meat is much nicer.
Polish a leather bag which has
begun to look shabby.with this mix-
ture ; One tablespoonful of boiled
linseed oil and 'two of vinegar,
Shake web. Rub in a little, and
thenpolish with a soft duster.
If you will slip a thin piece of
whalebone intra the hem whore
looks and eyes are to he sewn you
will avoid running the thread
through on the wrong side. Slip
the whalebone out after the work ie
completed.
To remove marks of rain from a
mantle take a damp cloth and damp
the place marked with the rain,
then take a hot iron and iron the
mantle all over the wrong side and
the marks will be removed.
When ironing box -pleated waists
and the plaints are twisted together
with the starching, take a stick of
wood and insert in the plait to open
it up, and you will find the plaits
can be ironed quite readily.
Blankets need not be thrown
aside when they become worn and
shabby. Washed and put together
in thicknesses of two or three, with
covering of pretty cretonne or dim-
ity, they make very nice, warm
quilts.
Flannels should be well shrunk
before they are made up into gar-
uents. The process of shrinking is
very simple—merely soak the flan-
nels, first in cold, then in hot water,
and leave them in the latter for a
time (until the water is cold).
When boiling a ham always add
a teacupful of vinegar and six or
eight cloves for each gallon of
water. They improve the flavor
wonderfully. Let the ham cool in
•he water in which it was boiled,
and it will be deliciously moist' and
nice.
The habit of playing with the
baby, making it laugh and crow to
how off its intelligence may delight
the mother, but if repeated with
any frequency is simply paving the
way for a normal baby to grow up
nto a nervous child. The .best
treatment for baby during its first
year is to attend carefully to its
physical wants and to absolutely
neglect the fact that it has a mind
at all.
A PLAGUE OF BABOONS.
Aie the Crops in Nigeria so least
Natives Gave up Farming.
In many parts of Nigeria, and
specially among the hill regions of
he northern provinces, baboons are
of thegreatestplagues to the
one p o
armer and a source of menace to
property and even to life. A Pro-
eetarate officer while engaged ie
business in a mountain village was
nformed by a local queen that her
people could net continue their
farming owing to the raids of ba-
boons.
During the absence of the men a
few weeks previously these beasts
had actually come into the heart of
the village and destroyed the crops,
according to the Wide World Ma-
gazine. The natives are in constant
dread of them and continually fear
or the safety of their children.
Sir William Wallace relates that
he has seen droves of fifty to a hun-
dred of these animals all in single
file, and that lately he himself shot
two enormous brutes who were
grinning at hien from the cliffs.
They utter a nerve shattering and
horrid bark.
They possess a regular system of
defence and always have signallers
out to watch for the approach of a
possible. enemy. These scouts are
always the biggest monkeys and
they signal by barks to their coin -
lades when strangers are approach-
ing. •

TJIIJ IIOTJST ELY'S HABITS,
Ooe of elle 1i'olet Dise2Oe.Viirriers
Known.
The common house fly was. peiut-
ed in its true colors as one of the
worst mediums of carrying disease
that has to be contended against,
by Dr. Gordon O. Hewitt, Dottie -
ion Entomologist, of Ottawa, before
the minuet meeting of the Entomo-
logical Society of Ontario, recently
held at the Ontario Agrioultnral
College, Guelph,
"While thousands of dollars have
been expended in the south to pre-
vent the spread of fever, through
the extermination of mosquitos,
there has been little done: to pre-
vent the house fly from doing just
DA extensive a work in spreading
disease in the northern come -
tries," said Dr. Hewitt, "Extor-
minate the house fly and yeti out
down the death rate," said the
speaker, and he referred particular-
ly to the'iufantilo death rate caused
by intestinal diseases and dies
rltoea; which were readily spread
by the fly. He believed that the
so-called harmless fly, was yearly
causing the death of hundreds,•o•
even thousands, of infants, as well
as spreading the germs cf typhoid
fever."
People were getting . away from
the idea, Dr. Hewitt said, that he
statement that the fly is a carrier'
of disease was made by clunks or
faddists, and the theory that the
fly 1va8 matte clean by "washing it-
self" was utter foolishness. As
one who has made a study of the
history of the fly, its habits and
breeding places in England and in
Canada, he described every fly as
being laden with bacteria,perhaps
harmless, but likely to be the bac-
teeia.of dangerous diseases.
The doctor then described how
the fly, coming into the house, light-
ed in the sugar bowl andin the
milk vessels, and the latter had
been shown to be a perfect medium
for disease in which bacteria was
found to develop very ranidly, when
flies were about and milk was not
protected.
Instances were given where the
death rate in United States cities
had been reduced by precautions
against opportunities for the fly to
get in its disease -spreading work.
Oin the New York waterfront it
was shown that typhoid outbreaks
were concurrent with the presence
of decaying vegetables and sewage.
HIS OWN GRANDFATHER.
Peculiar Relationship of au Italian
Sailor to Himself.
It is seldom that a man claims to
be his own grandfather. However,
that is the position of an Italian
sailor who some years ago married
a widow with one child, a girl. His
father fell in love with this girl and
married her. Consequently his own
father became his son-in-law, and
his stepdaughter his mother. . In
a short time his wife gave birth to
a son, who, naturally, was his fa-
ther's stepbrother and, at the same
time, bis own uncle, since he was
his stepmother's brother.
In due time his father's wife also
gave birth 'to a boy, who was his
brother and also his grandson, as
he was the son of his. daughter. His
awn wife was now his grandmother,
as she was the mother of his mother.
Thusa
he Was at one and the ms e
time his wife's husband and grand-
son. Now, as the husband of a per-
son's grandmother is naturally that
person's grandfather, he is fore -
eft to the conclusion that he is his
own grandfather.
OBEYING ORDERS.
Seamen are strict disciplinarians,r
and a ship's crew seldom even
dreams of interpreting a comman-
der's orders otherwise than literal -
1,r•. Of the recognized rigid type was
a certain English captain. The way
the strict letter of his law was ob-
served aboard his ship is described
by a writer in the London Tele-
graph. One den, while the ship was
in a certain port, the captain gave
a dinner to some town acquaintanc-
es, and as the resources of the ship
were not great, some of the sailors
were deputed to wait on the table
to .re -enforce the insufficient num-
ber of stewards. As these men were
not used to such work, each one
was told exactly what service would
fall to his share. The hour sante;
and the dinner went merrily on.
Presently, however, one of the
ladies wanted a piece of bread.
There was none near her, and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed
to be quite blind to her need. She
turned her head and spoke softly
to the man at her elbow. "Bread,
Please," she said. He looked re-
gretfully at the bread and then at
her. It was evident that he would
fain have helped her if it bad bean
in his power. He saluted in fine
naval style. "Can't do it, ma'am,"
said he. "I'm told off for 'Galeas,"

Lesson IC. Paul on Self-denial.
(World's Temperance Lesson.)
Rom. 14. 21.
Verse 10. Why ... judge, : . . why
set at naught thybrother?
g
Two classes ,mentioned in verso 3.
The weak are not to be harsh in
their judgment of the' strong, nor
are the strong to despise the
scruples of the weak. All are bre-
thren, with a claim on one another's
affection and forbearance.
We shall all stand—Including
Paul, those that judge, and those
that set at naught. Human judg-;
ments have no significance in view
of the final sentence of God. The
Authorized Version has "Christ."'
Paul passed naturally from "God."
to "Christ." Compare Rom. 2.
16.
11. It is written—Isa.• 45. 23. Of-
fered as proof of a' universal judg-
ment. 1
Every knee signifies visible wor-
ship, and every tongueaudible.
Confess t
o God—Make
acknow-
ledgment of his might, and good-
ness. This voluntary and universal
subniiss'ion is Paul's idea of the con-
summation ofthe ages.
12. Each one of us ... of himself
-Emphatic inference from the pro-
phet's words, that the judgment
will be not merely universal but
solitary. With the responsibility of
that hour in view, we should con- l
cern ourselves, not with the weak-
nesses and faults .of our brethren,
but with the stern work of making t
possible a good account of ourselves
in that day. I
13-21. In all conduct we must
think, not merely whether what we
do is in itself right, but whether it
will have a baneful . effect upon
others.By the law of love we are n
bound to desist from any act that
is likely to injure another bro-
ther.
13. Judge ye this rather—"Make
no decision about your. brother's 0
character, but make this decision
about your own future conduct."
Paul teaches consistently that the a
abuse of. Christian liberty inay o
prove to another a stumbling -block,
or an occasion of falling when this

unobstructed path to heaven,

strong contrast. Is it not the pat
of the sturdy Christian to pay a

Destroy—Violation of the law o

endless rain to the one we see

16. Your good—Your faith, with

men who see you persist in what is

verse with Matt. 6. 31-33. If a man
insists upon eating and drinkin
certain things, in:themselves not
harmful, but in spite. of another's
scruples, it looks as if he thought
them the all-important things of the
kingdom. The great things of the
kingdom are righteousness in one's
relations and dealings with others,.
peace, through preserving harmony
between the weak and' strong, and
he joy of Christian brotherhood
which grows out of the common in-
dwelling Holy Spirit.
18. Herein—In the spiritual.

bondage to Christ's law of love, and

Approved of men—Your conduct
will be well, instead of evil, spoken
f.
19. Things which make for peace
—Not judging and slighting one an-
ther, but making allowance for
ne another's rights and scruples.
Edify—Literally, build up. In

octant that the differenb-parts
should harmonize,

Food To Tat.
That a certain amount of d] es-
tible food taken just before going
to bed induces restfnlnees and eon•
tributes to a quiet sleep is asserted
by Di'. "G, 11 I. Niles, who discusses
'
sleep initssolation to digestion in
the Journal of the American Mo.
dicot Association, Our quotations
are front an abstract in the Medical
Record, Says this paper
"As to the actual influence of
sleep on digestion there is, some
conflict of opinion.. . It is a well-
known physiological feet that theelniination of carbon dicxid and ab-
sorption of oxygen are diminished
during sleep, mainly because tho
muscles are less active. , While
other secretions.are diminished dui.
ing sleep, this does not apply to
those of the digestive e,ppai'atus.
When the brain is alert, the reflexes
on gutted, and the voluntary.inus-
ales at work, each department of
the human economy is calling for
its quota of
INNERVATION AND BLOOD;
those different departments are ex-
acting their tribute from the con-
structive forces, and turning over
to the excretory organs the pro-
ducts of combustion and waste.
During this' period the digestive
department can draw only. a work
ing interest, not being permitted
to put away any appreciable surp-
lus, until the day's activities aro
ended. Sleep stills the voluntary
movements, decreases the carbon
dioxid output, and snakes the least
demand on the'involuntary vital
mechanism. It is then that -Nature,'
our industrious handmaiden, begins
her constructive housekeeping. She
does it in an. orderly co-operative
way, following a. regular method of
work in repairing waste, actively
forming new tissue, and.giviug just
the proper amount of caro and
np urishment required of all parts,
both mental and physical, in regu-
lar sequence."
The following general. dietetic
recommendations in. relation to
sleep aro given by Dr. Niles:—
"The young infant cannot" got
too much sleep, and this is best at-
tained by filling his stomach at'
stated intervals. Vigorous, grow-
ing children and those engaged in
manual labor thrive on a full break-
fast and dinner, these .two meals
containing most of the
DAILY QUOTA OF PROTEIN.
The supper may be plentiful in
quantity, but should consist of such
articles as bread, milk,'N;cereals,
eggs, fruit, etc., which do not un-
duly stimulate the nerve centres by
their metabolic products. Soups,
rich extractives and solid proteins
also cause the bladder to be filled
with urine rich in waste products
and very acid, this being a factor
worth considering. Those who la-
bor with their. brains, or skilled ar-
tlzans whose crafts demand mope
tae tension and but little muscular
effort, will find their efficiency, bosh
subserved by a light breakfasts a
slightly more plentiful lunch, and
at the close of the day's work a

HIS UNLUCKY DAY.
W'unst I got mad at maw,
I don't remember why,
But I 'ist walked right off to school
'Thout tellin' her good-bye.
A big of lump came in my throat
An' oust' near made me cry,
For me an' maw is awful pals
An' allies kiss good-bye.
An' might' near ever -thing I did 1
Went wrong, looked like to me;
I stubbed my toean' tore my waist
An' fell an' skinned my knee.
