Save all cold vegetables, inelud- int; potatoes, chop them, then fry together witil a liberal seasoning of salt andapepper. Rice and Raisin Pudding. -Make a rico pudding in the usual way. When half cooked add a good handful of stoned raisins, stir in carefully, cover the to ] of the pod- ding 1 ding with a thin 'layer of bread- cri:tmbs, and on it mit little bits of butter: Bake _till the rice is ea -----cooked thoroughly. G_ Grape jam should be made from fruit grown out of doors. Wash the fruit carefully and stew gently till tender, then pass through a clean sieve. To every pound of pulp allow urie pound of loaf -sugar. Bring to the buil and creek fast for twenty minutes. Pour info pots and cover at once with egged paper, If liked, a little lemon -peel may be used to flavor the preserve. Savory rice is a very nice change from the ordinary rice pudding. Wash three ounces of rice and boil ib in milk till quite tenter, ad- ding pepper and salt. Butter a dish, spread hal' the rice on it, sprinkle one ounce of cheese on it, add the rest of the rice, scatter the rest' of the cheese on the top, put little bits of butter over, and brown in a quick oven. The rice may be cooked in stock with a flavoring of vegetables instead of milk.

In every branch of cookery the greatest care must he exercised to follow the rules exactly. and in- gredients must all be weighed, not thrown in haphazard quantities anyhow, but precisely in the man- ner indkated. Attention to little things may mean the complete suc- cess of the cake.

In mixing sugar and butter heart the latter gently before beginning and in mixing eggs' and sugar ,:lo not attempt to add more than three eggs without adding a little flour every now and then. Some fruits, such as cherries, are hotter when rubbed with lime so as to prevent their sinking to the • bottom of the tin. Flour Should be perfectly free from lumps; currants and raisins cleaned and dried. All tins should be well buttered, and in case of scorching it is a gond plan to cover them with a piece of parchment paper. As much care is necessary in the baking as in the mixing. Sponge and all !light cakes, with those small ones baked in patty tins, re- quire a quick oven, whilst ordinary cakes of the ,sultana and geed Species are most sicceseful when cooked in a moderate oven. The oven should not be opened until at least twenty minutes . after the cake has been put in, and if it has Ee be closed again it must be done leently. When the cake appeesee cooked, insert a knitting -needle, and is perfectly elean, then the is done.

Keeping a fortune, or even a modest amount of savings; does not mean merely' keeping it safe. A well-chosen in ground will do that. But, so to invest ones money that it not only remains safe, but also brings in a substantial income, is a prob- rem vcltich takes much thought. To the average man, the tem "investment" "has no very clear 3 meaning. As often as not, we hear men state that they have invest- ed" in a mining stock,.when even the term ``speculation" -which in- valves taking a certain amoltnrt of chance -would be much too mild a word. To others, investment at. once brings up thoughts of mart- gages. Yet between these two ex- tremor -the well -secured farm mortgage on the one hand, and the the other -lies a great field of op- ortunrt su hin a *ariet of in- vesUmen to suit all. tastes and all requirements. WBAT ARE INVESTIt2E1TTS 4 Now, as to what constitute in vestmen4s. Strictly speaking, an investment is anything which we may buy that will bring us in an income, and retain its value, i.e-, can be des. posed of without material loss. Thus, the purchase of a good farm which may be leased or worked so as to bring in a good return on its cost, is an investment.' But this is a ver small and relatively �' y unimportant field for the investment of our money. Not everyone has sufficient capital to buy a farm, and, as a rule the rental of a farm is not a high enough return on the investment to make it worth while. For one must remember that out of this return sufficient must be laid away each year to rebuild all buildings at the end of, say, thirty years. Part of the re- turn from rent represents a pay- meat for depreciation on buildings, etc., which, despite repairs every year, come that much nearer the time when they must be rebuilt. Perhaps if they are well construct- thirty years is too short a time to allow; but 1t is never unwise to err on the side of safety. There is, • however, in addition to tree small return and the risks of a dishonest or unfortunate leasee, one very sound reason why a per- son with limited capital should not invest in farm real - estate; unless, of. course, he is a farmer, who in- tends to operate it himself, and in this case - a high return on the .amount invested represents. to no small extent the payment to the farmer of his own salary -though manydo not reailize this feat -and varies in proportion with his skill as an husbandman, as anyfarmer knows. Everyone knows the old that it is foolish to ptit all ones eggs in one basket; the same applies to investments, but with greatly increased force. One should never, under any circumstances, so invest money that, should a fire, a failure, or other unforeseen, aoci- dent, emcee, all world be lost. Our capital, even if it is very small, allot rid be distributed over a cls- verse field. And in this di.stribu- tion, it slioulcl be' remembered to mak-ethe spread cover. a wide field, not only in class of investment, but in location. In this '.manner, for ' example, the failure of craps in Central Ontario would not affect mortgages held in that part of the Provence;. depressinn in Canada, would not affeet municipal bonds, Many other examples can be easily always aim to divide the risk.

Sleep is no longer indefinitely considered a wandering abroad of the soul, writes Fred W. Eastman in the Atlantic, but is now known to be a temporary poisoning of the brain cells by the waste products resulting during the day from the activity of the body in general_ Thus when a muscle cell or a nerve cell acts nutritive material within its walls is broken down into substances that are of no value and merely impede further action of the cell unless removed' Normally these waste products are washed out by the blood stream vvhieh at the same time provides new cell food, and is finally itself purified by the excretory organs, the brags and the kidneys. In the course of the day, how- ever, production is in excess of re- moval and then the clogging effect of these substances is manifested by fatigue in muscles and brain, the extreme degrees of which re- sults, in the latter organ, in the in- ability to act, which we now know as sleep. The third of our time taus spent out of commission is therefore really due to the inade- quacy of the excretory organs for purifying the blood. Perhaps, ori account of popular opinion and personal habit, the waste much time in a jellyfish con- j Yover clition that would be more profit- ably spent in active pursuit of our ambitions. The answer of course upon the na iniicf our oc- If there is much muses - l lar .effort effort involved with a eorres_ ponding large amount of waste in the cells, and blood, eight hours or more are probably necessary. But if our work is of a sedentary nature and mainly of the brain there is naturally a smaller quan- Eby of ,accumulated waste and less time is required for its removal. Many are the instances of great men, past and present, who have lived healthfully and worked un- teasingly and strenuously 011 only four or five hours sleep, or half theThe laborer's portion, Dreams are due to.an increase of sensation and circulation over that which exists in profound sleep. Observations made upon patients with cranial defects show that when we are dreaming the brain is greater in volume than in deep sleep, and less than when we are awake. Thus this intermediate volume of blood would indicate that dreams are, an intermediate stage, between unconsciousness and g vcakefuhiess, and their incomplete and irregular intelligence would indicate the same thing, This increased 'circulation is ns- welly due to sensory stimulation af- : fecting the vasomotor centre and • causing a return of blood to the • head,with resultant increased con.- ' sciosness. Contrary to popular belief dreams in themselves do not 1 contribute to light or broken sleep 1 in which they are present. i Such a condition is due to the Sshaft t ever present stimuli, -which accord- ing to their strength or the degree 1 . of irritability of the -cells maintain even. in. -sleep a varying degree of. } consciousness, of which the dreams _ are merely a manifestation, There- 1 fore the fatiguing effect often also ,'e the ed to, dreams is not due to 1 atadage, _ ahem but to the lighter degree of tor - sleep and less e°---a000mCan,ell x�sand ation eec.d they accompany, 3,• t which are due to some irritation. 1 4,----_- '•GREAT FUII SALES.

T Ii a Illy as Mach Known About it as Abottt the 5tttrs• Te interior of the earth is scarce- ly mare accessible than the stars to direct experimentations and is less known through valid indirect evi- deuce. Some information is given by earthquake shocks which, though local in origin, shake the whole earth, By collating the.re- cords of seismegraphs in various places it has been learned that the velocity of the earthquake wave is three or four miles per second in. the upper strata of the Earth and more than ten miles per second in the central nucleus. earth, .as a whole, may be compared to a great spherical bell' which when struck makes- only two or three complete vibrations per hour. As the note emitted by a piano string depends on its length, thickness, and tension, so the "note" of the earth bell and the velocity of.waves in its different parts give •some indication of the state of the concentric strata of which the earth is composed. The information thus obtained is very incomplete, and scientists have endeavored to fill its voids by means of various plausible hypotheses. A review of our present knowledge of the earth, recently presented to a French Scientific Society, contains two remarks, of especial interest 1 r concerning the 'variations ofe grav- ity and pressure in the earth's interior. If a shaft were, sunk vertically to the centre of the earth and an object, suspended from a spring balance, were lowered down the the weight of the object, as , g � , indicated by the dial of the bal- ante, would at first increase, as the descending object approached the deeper and'clenser strata.
