Fill in with about three -quarte of a pint of whipped cream flav ore with. vanilla brandy or any flavo Mg liked, adding a little isinglass and sugar, dissolved. When quit set turn into a glass dish, and liked a little more cream may b poured round and garnished he and there with pounded pistachi nuts. Oranges Filled with Jelly.—Take as many large China oranges as liked, then with the point of a sharp knife cut out from the top of each a round about the size of a shilling; then empty out the pulp, taking care not to break the rinds. Throw into cold water. Make soma jelly of the juice pressed from the pulp and strained quite clear Color one-half a bright rose colo with prepared cochineal, leaving th other pale. When the jelly is near cold drain and wipe the orange and fill with alternate stripes of th different colored jelly, each coloi being allowed to get quite cold be fore the other is poured in. When they are perfectly cold cu into quarters with a sharp knife and arrange tastefully on a dish with springs of myrtle between. Orange Soutlle,—Peel and slice six oranges and put in a glass dish ,alternate layers of oranges and sugar and let stand two hours. Make a custard of yolks of two eggs, a pint of milk, and sugar to taste, with a grating of orange peel for flavor, and pour over the oranges when cool enough. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten and flavor to taste and pour over the top. Serve cold. just one layer, cutting the same in two, and proceed as usual by put- ting ono -half over the other, there- by making a double layer (half) cake. Coke fee Two, ---In small families where a' large Mike is made one- is apt to homey tired of the same un- til used. Make 'a batter as for a good sized three layer cake; divide in three. parts. One can be left plain, put either chocolate or spices in another, and to the third add raisins yr currants or bath and make six cup cakes, Then take the two layers and cut in half ; put white filling in the dark ono and perhaps banana filling in the other. So you have three kinds of cake and id not enough of either to hast too nknt all made in one baking, One 's' can vary the fillings to suit her Id taste, e er e r - CLEANING. 1•s, d Clean Your Own Furs,—For white fur, such as ermine, fox, chin- chilla, etc., use flour well soaked in benzine, or gasoline. Rub well into the fin, using plenty of flour; shake and beat well. Will look like new. For sealskin, otter, mink, etc„ use mahogany sawdust, put in e pan till hot, rub on soiled parts till x0 clean: beat well. Rash with Coffee.—After using I stove polish wash hands in coffee, and it will remove the black like magic. Coffee grounds are excel- lent for cleaning bottles. Recolor an Old Waist,—If your white lace waist is soiled you may convert it into a waist of ecrue color by putting into water in which has been dissolved a small quantity of yellow ochre. • Soap fur Furniture.—Make the r :same as common soft soap, but use e ' •riled linseed oil instead of grease. This makes a superior soap for fine s furniture and wood work. e Renew Veils,—Faded veils, silk ' gloves, scarfs, etc., can be gives, a - new appearance by dropping in, gasoline into which has been mixed a small portion of oil paint of the desired color, Retint Wall Scratches.—Don't have your rooms repnpered or tint- ed because defaced. Take a little glue if paper is loose and rub on some colored chalk or pastelle of same tint. If scratched or blemish- ed you cannot detect it. To remove a grease spot, place a blotter under the spot, apply al paste made of French chalk and gasoline; leave on until dry, brush, and the spot is no more. The blot- ter prevents a ring forming. t SOME DANISH DISHES. Srishe Tarts.—Make a good pie - crust, using butter for shortening, also a little baking powder, Boil and stone enough prunes to fill the crust, and sweeten to taste.

So powerful is the cur- rent which passes to the electric "foster -mother" that sparks fly out to one's finger when it is put near the perches. Mr. Baker decided upon a test to prove which of the chickens had thriven the most. In appearance the twelve electric chickens were obviously larger and more healthy looking than the other twelve. Four birds from each "foster - mother" were taken out haphazard anti carefully weighed.. The reason given for the exceptionally light electric chicken (No, 2 in the follow- ing table) is that the bigger birds took away its toed.

The heavy weight of the second non -electric chicken -14 oz. 8 gms.—is accounted for by the fact that Mr. Baker specially selected it from the brood as being notice- ably plumper than the rest. In weighing the hinds a curious thing That he might send them forth to was noticed in the demeanor of the preach—This he slid on several oc_ electric and non -electric chickens.

First Lord of the Admiralty Wins- ton Churchill is never long out of hot water, This time ho has roused the indignation of the Radical ex- tremists of his own party because the reduction on the naval esti- mates for the current year cid' not go far enough in the direction of re- trenchment to please them. Whereas the "Little Englanders," as they are, called, hoped that a sav- ing of at least five million dollars would be effected, Churchill only found it poss:b!e to reduce the na- val estimates by just over one and a half million dollars. But if he has not pleased some of his own Par- liamentary supporto;3, Winston Churchill has been subjected to little but friendly criticism by the Opposition, who are bent on accel- erating the, building programme rather than retarding it. While there has been the usual amount of talk about new ships and armaments, not much attention has been paid to the factor without which England's navy is useless— the man behind the gun. From time to time it has been whispered that there is considerable unrest in the lower deck ratings, where, says Lionel Yexley, one of the service critics, many grievances exist, which, unless rectified, will one day shock John Bull oat of his compla- cency. As the Jackies are, forbidden by their terms of service to form a trade union, the general public knows little about their wrongs, and half -an -hour's talk with some of the men at a naval station is required to show that it is high time some reforms were introduced on the lower deck.
