When bakingcake should the, oven become too hot, set a basin of cold water in it. To keep butter sweet in warm weather, paick the butter in a crock; make brine strong enough to bear up an egg, and pour over it. To remove indelible ink: Take a small lump of cyanuret of potash,' rub it on the ink stain, first dipping it in water, then rinse the cloth in cold water. Brown boots when mud -stained may 'be -cleaned with acut raw po- tato. Wipe off any moisture, and leave in the fresh air for half an hour before polishing. • Potatoes for stews should always be boiled for five minutes before be- ing added to the meat, as the first water in which they are cooked is never quite" wholesome. Never. keep biscuits and cake in the same tin, as the cake loses its flavor, -and the biscuits become soft and taste faintly of the take. Save the string whenparcels are unpacked. Pick' out the knots in which' the twine is tied, twist it round the fingers and fasten it. ICeep the "rings" of tied string in a drawer or box, specially saved for the purpose, and you will always have a supply of different strengths of string ready for parcels or pud- ding cloths. Furniture needs cleaning just as much as other woodwork, especial- ly in our large, dirty towns. This• inay be washed with warm soap- suds quickly, using a soft' brush if necessary.

Ito has to support them," DR, JOHNSON'S ROUSE, Presented by Coil Ilarmswerth to British Nation, .tt was announced nearly four months ago that D. Johnson's house in Gough square, Fleet street, London, had been acquired by an anonymous purchaser, and was to be placed in the hands of trustees as a netional memorial to the great Londoner. It is now known that the pur- chaser is Mr. Cecil T•Iarmswovth. According to the latest announce- ment, the house will be dedicated as national property "as soon as suitable arrangements can bo made,,, Last year the house was put into a good state.' of repair at a cost of some hundreds of pounds, and care was taken to preserve the obarac- teristie features of the iuterior, which is•in much the sane condition as when Dr. Johnson lived there from 1748 to 1758. It was in Gough 'square that Dr. Johnson toiled at his dictionary, which was commissioned ley the chief book -sellers in London in 1747 for a fee of 1,800 guineas. The doctor had an upper room fitted up like a counting house, in whichhe gave to the copyists, their several ks: According to Northcote, it was to Gough square that Reynolds took Roubillas to call upon Johnson, who "received them with much ci- vility and took them up into a gar- ret which he.sedhis as library, where, besides his books, all cover- ed with dust, there was an old crazy deal table, and a still worse and older elbow chair, having only three legs." CONST-A.NTINOPLE'S DOGS. Will Soon Be as Many as Ever in Turkey's Capital. When the thirty thousand street dogs of Constantinople were col- lected in carts by the municipality last year and sent to the Island of Oxia in the Sea of Marmora, there to be poisoned and their skins to be turned into gloves, there were many persons who regarded the passing of the immemorial canine institution of the Turkish capital with regret. But another dog pop- ulaton has been growing up since. With the disappearance of -the old army of canine scavengers the fertile field of the Constantinople rubbish heaps was left unworked and the dogs of the surrounding villages, who in the old days would have been torn to pieces had they attempted to enter the city, be- gan to sneak in at night to devour the domestic refuse of which the Turks dispose- by throwing it into the gutter. Meeting with no op- position, they finally transplanted themselves and their families to the deserted land of plenty. It is now again quite usual in Constantinople to have ,to step ov- er a dog lying asleep across the pavement. The packs of dogs that are returning to inhabit the 'golf. links too make a frequent practice of hurrying away with a driven ball, with a view to examining in- to its edible qualities at a distance. The city authorities,satisfied with last year's great razzia, have taken no measures to stem the steady influx of strange dogs, much to the disgust of the cat population of Constantinople, which after a few months of unaccustomed facil- ities for nocturnal reunion have be- gun to find their social opportunit- ies in this respect seriously cur- tailed by the sudden attacks of the newcomers. Very soon travellers will be once more compelled to push their way to the door of their hotel through a jostling, yelping pack of lean, yellow curs and ancient Stamboul will be itself again. rf- WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES ONE,—Life, DIPLOMATIC.

FARMERS SHOULD KNOW THIS PROFIT IN BANISHING PLIES ANI» MOSQUITOES, Fernier is Cause of Typhoid Fever, the Latter oP Malarial Fever. A mistaken view prevalent in. many farmers' homes is that flies are a necessary evil which is con.. fined to a .fewsummer months, or that they are an altogether harm- less nuisance. The fact is that where flies have access so impur- ities of any sort they may carry deadly germs, which they deposit in crawling over .food in kitchen, pantry or dining room. In an Ar- ticle prepared for the Country Gentleman and now reprinted in pamphlet form by the author Wil- liam. Paul Gerhard writes on flies and mosquitoes as carriers of . dis- ease and on what farmers can do tothassist in the campaign against em, Both typhoid and malaria, though occurring to some extent in cities, are considered to be chiefly country or farm diseases, and flies may be the indirect cause of typh- oid fever and mosquitoes of malar- ial fever. While both flies and mosquitoes are bad enough at cer- tain times in the city, they consti- tute in ' agricultural districts a veritable erttable pest, a source of annoy- ance to horses, cattle and men, a cause of physical discomfort and a nuisance by which 'health may be- come seriously affected. In cities the rapidly increasing use of motor vehicles and the cor- responding reduction in the num- ber of stable pits reduces THE FLY NUISANCE The antiquated' and most prim- itive methods of waste disposal still existing -on many farms offer fav- orable conditions for the breeding and rapid multiplication of flies. The extermination of flies can be brought about ehiefly_by a diligent attention to a proper disposal of waste _matter and by the mainten- ance of scrupulous- cleanliness. . Horse stables, cow barns, all out -buildings should have constant care and attention and they should be so constructed that they can be looked after with the best results. Dairy farmers should look particu- larly to the sanitation of the milk house and all its surroundings,, and dairy windows and doors should be screened. Barnyards should be kept scru- pulously neat, gutters and stalls of stables should be cleaned daily and all refuse heaps kept covered peed- ing removal. No decaying material should be permitted to accumulate on the household premises, and the garbage pan should be cleaned and scoured daily and when in use should be always kept well cover- ed. All wooden garbage boxes or leaky slop pails should be abolish- ed. Where there is no kitchen plumbing dent throw kitchen slop water, day by day, over the same spot by the,kitchen door. The way to get rid of flies is bye absolute cleanliness, and the up to date Farmer for further protection screens ail his windows and out- side doors. • WHERE MOSQUITOES BREED. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, in wet marshes or in any pool or permanent water accumu- lation, as in badly 'graded irrigat- ing ditches or in roof gutters_hold- ing water; standing water in large or small volume anywhere may breed them. Mosquitoes are not merely a con- stant source of discomfort, or as regards some species a' serious dan- ger to health, but mosquitoes may also affect business interests. It has been asserted that by the attacks of swarms of mosquitoes upon herds of cattle their milk yield has been so reduced as to make the keeping of these animals for dairy purposes unprofitable. Horses are injured by the attacks of mosquitoes. It is a familiar feet that there are trots of land in various parts of the country that are made practic- ally uninhabitable and impossible of development owing to the pres- ence of mosquitoes in largo .num- bers;and many places badly in- fested with then have shown a de- preciation or have failed of appre- ciation in their property value, so that all mosquitoes are harmful in one .way or another, For mosquito control or exterm- ination there are now employed many means, which are applied by individual work on one's own pre- mises o'r' by combined or commun- ity efforts, Obviously, all windows and outside doors of farmhouses should be carefully screened to keep out mosquitoes, as should be also ram water barrels and other water receptacles; but the breed- ing places of mosquitoes should be done, away with by drainage, • by filling in or by treatment with ker- osene oil or' similar prepnratiens. NEIGHBORING FARMERS should co-operate.' Ie farm vil- lagos improvement societies should be formed, ono of their objects her ing organized was en the mosquito. The work of mob a society should be laid out and directed by one re- sroesible, head, and it is desirable t tate ho be a practical sanitarian. Much of the work to be done is .of an engineering nature, such as the ditching of marshes, the proper gl'ading of gutters and so on, and the essistaneo of an engineer fam- iliar with drainage work is much to be. desired. Each farming mem- ber of the society should make in- dividual effort about iris own pre- mises, and these individual labors should be supplemented by the combined community effort in what- ever direction that may be roquir- ed, To get rid of flies and\ mosquit- oes would protect the farmer's health and well being and enhance his comfort and increase his pro 1 LONDON TO DINE EARLIER. Nine Was the Hour Under Edward VII., George V. Favors 7,30. "When • 1 first came to London in the heyday of Victorian institu- tions seven o'clock was the fixed, unalterable hour for dining," writes the London correspondent. of Town and Country. Slowly by degrees, the, time for dining was extended. "First 7.30 then 8, then 8.15 and eventually, by the time King Ed- ward came to the throne the ultra ton took to the dining room as late as 9 o'clock. That was , bad for theatres and hotel suppers, and in- cidentally bad for the health and had much 'todo, no doubt, with the increase of gout and indigestion in certain circles. u Ttoppo opposite as the sit extreme of w the custom of a century ago,. when the fashionables would sit down to dinner at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and gentlemen considered them- selves disgraced if their men ser- vants had not caeried them off helplessly intoxica_:ad by 7. The present generation still suffers considerably from hereditary gout gathered at these festive func- tions. "The Edwardian 9 o'clock din- ner never became very popular and 8.30 was considered it fair hour for .dining. But with the advent of King George we are to have a new custom. Seven -thirty is going to be the reasonable time for din- ner. The King dines at that hour and while it has not been general- ly advertised, the fact has leaked out and the world fertows suit. Strange to say, the fashions thus set are begun not in what is call- ed 'the upper circles,' but by the solid phalanx of suburbanites whose loyalty is one of those things that poets should commemorate in glowing verse. "Tho suburbs read in the news- papers that King George and his family dine at 7,30. The suburbs have been conforming to the un- written social law of the last de- cade by courting indigestion at an hour which saw them in bed half 1 a century ago. They clung man- fully to their inalienable right to do as royalty does and so they dM - ed late. "Now, with unquestioning ferv- or, they have altered their time as taken from Buckingham Palace and 'fashionable society' follows suit. The hotels will not resent the change; on the contrary they wel- come it, for it relieves them of "the greatest possible strain, for up to now no sooner have the dinner tables been cleared than the peo- ple crowd in for supper." A, POTATO -FED PHILOSOPHER. Austrian Novelist C'oiidneting a Curious Experiment. The latest experiment in plain living and high thinking is being earned on in the Whiteway Colon of "`simple -lifers" on the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire, England. Unlike the famous colony at Brook Farm, where Emerson was a shining light, the Whiteway enthu- siasts had far to go before they made much impression on this bust- ling age. But Francis Sedlak, an Austrian by birth, who in the inter-, v'als of manual labor on neighbor- ing farms, toils at the task of making converts to the Hegelian philosophy, has brought extensive advertisement to the gettlemont. Sedlak's diet consists of lentils, home-grown potatoes, and whole meal bread made from honte-gro' n wheat. He lives in a wooden shanty of his own construction, and has just published a remarkable a tle book,. "A Holiday with a Elise lion," which competent judges de- clare is a close and original pre sortation of the German philoso- pher's argument. Sedlak's ambi- tion is to publish a translation of Hegel's "Science of Logic," but Britishers are far more interested• in his highly romantic career, than in his .academic industry.

The future of Zion as the religious metropolis of :the world. The passage has an almost exact parallel in Ise. 2. 2-4. The best opinion seems to be that both Isaiah and Micah must have taken the prophecy from some older source, , the provision of a time of universal peace being a papulae idea, of which this passage is the Sanest expression. 1.

It is to be the seat of dominion of the Messiah. Its exaltation above other mountains and hills means its spir- itual and temporal supremacy.

All this is to come about, not by force of arms, but as a great moral conquest. The nations there- fore retain their political independ- ence. 3.

Another such lass was a. mere lass of twenty-two, who had charge of four looms. One day she sur- prised the loom -tackler by volun- teering to help him to lift a warp weighing two hundredweight to its place in the loom. This was the first time that she had snown that she possessed more than ordinary strength. Indeed, she was one of the sweetest and most modest lasses in the weaving- room, ready with a smile for ev- eryone; and one day an overlooker took advantage of her free -and - easy manner to say something that she did not like. Unfortunately for him, he had a beard, and the lass, seizing hold of this with one hand, dragged him round and round, while he shriek- ed for mercy.

But one day a new clothlooker came to work at the mill, and be- gan to talk to the woman in what she considered a less respectful manner than was her due. She sharply drew him up with the. words, "Don't to know who tha're talking to?" No, he didn't; neither did he care. And, moreover, he was go- ing to fine her sixpence—three- pence for a fault, and threepeneo for her "lip."

The glory of these prophets is, that their faith is superior to earthly afflictions of the most stupendous kind. Purified of her sins by mani- fold trials, Zion is eo arise greater than ever, with all the former glory of the days of David and Solomon. This is the single limitation of the. prophesy by which it comes short of the most modern hope of univer- sal peace. We cherish no thought of Zion as the center of Jehovah's sovereignty. except as "Zion" is to us a metaphorical way of speaking of that very sovereignty of Jehovah ; and this spiritual sense the Old Tes- tament prophet did not, of course, entertain.
