To mend a zinc pain take some putty, put a small piece on the in- side and a large piece on the out- side of the pail over the hole. Press well together, and place in the open air until perfectly dry. The pail will then hold water just as when new. Enamel bowels and basins can be mended in the same way. When baking pies, either fruit or meat, if the pie is placed in a tin with a little cold water it will save the syrup or gravy from boiling out, but do not let the water dry up. A little water sprinkled on top of fruit pies, and then a little dry, fine sugar, will give the pastry a pretty brown appearance, Inkstains on garments can be soaked out in a mixture of salt and milk. A teaspoonful of salt to nearly a gill of milk is the right propor- tion. This answers for either white or colored fabrics, but if the ink has been allowed to dry it will be nec- essary to soak the stained part in the milk for an hour or two. There are two ways of preparing a mustard plaster. Where the ef- fect is desired grnekly it should bo made of pure mustard and hot water without any flour or meal, laid next to the skin. It will al- ways give timely notice of necessity for removal, as it begins to bite at once. As soon as the smarting be- comes uncomfortable and the skin very red it may bo changed to some other part. To pluck a fowl speedily, place it in boiling water for a few minutes. When you remove it you will find a good many feathers have come off, and the rest will yield to a very light plucking, If you are uncer- tain as to the age of a fowl, partly steam er boil it in a little water for about an hour before browning it in the even, and it will be as tender as a young chicken, 110W TO AVOID a'i1:BDERCULOSIS A.

A level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient for a quart of soup, sauce or vegetables. FIGURES ABOUT TORONTO SI''/di, EXPENSES AND GROWTH WIRE QUEEN CITY. THE BAHA31.tS. Looking Vomited to Annexation to Der Dominion. An article Copied in this paper with regard to the aspirations of the Bahamas as to become a prov- - ince of Canada suggests the ques- tion that occurred to many, why it was that the Bahamas, which have expressed themselves so favorable to political union with the Demin- fon, were not represented at the trade conference at Ottawa, which a g has. resulted in a reciprocity y gree- went between the West Indian Is- lands and the Dominion. A glance at a map suggests an explanation. The islands that sent representa- tives to Ottawa belong exclusively to the Windward and Leeward groups, with Trinidad and the mainland colony of British Guinea added. The Bahamas lie far to the north and west of those islands. They have no commercial connection with them and their problems are altogether different. They are not interested in sugar and cocoa, and think more of the fruit trade and of the winter tourist traffic. Their attitude, as we should gather from the accounts that have reached us of the enthusiastic colonization movement, is that they want free trade with Canada, not in a few ar- ticles only, most of which do not particularly interest them, but in everything, and believe that this can only be obtained by that abso- lute union which would result from their joining the Canadian federa- tion, They look forward to a full coo. course banquet at the Dominion According to the recent police table in the near future, so why census, Toronto has a population should they bother with an advance sandwich, and waste time and divert the attention of their people by a discussion of the ingredients to be put into that sandwich. His Excellency Sir William Grey. Wilson, who has been the Governor of the colony for the past six years, and retired on May 24th, has been an active promoter of the annexa- tion idea. If we mistake nob, his advice to the island legislature has been to have nothing to do with the trade negotiations, which were not of particular interest or importance to them, but to wait until the au- tumn, and then, if the consent of the Imperial authorities can be ob- tained in the meantime, to send a deputation to Ottawa to discuss, not a mere trade agreement, but political union. At least this is in accordance with the views private- ly expressed by the governor when recently here. It will be remember- ed that Sir William is a cousin of our late Governor-General. Lady Grey -Wilson is a cousin of the Rev. Dr. Barclay, of this city. We see it stated that His Excellency will be gratefully remembered for his very wholehearted devotion to the interests of the colony, and that Lady Grey -Wilson, by her unfailing kindliness, genuine goodness, ,dig- nity, approachability and tact, has endeared herself to the people there.—Montreal Witness.

POPULAR TRADITIONS. To a greater or less extent super- stition affects both the educated and the ignorant, the rich and the poor. • Dr. Johnson considered ib unlucky to walk into his house ex- cept with a particular leg first. The great Napoleon had a belief in omens, and what is little better than the commonest kind of fortune- telling; and although Sir Walter Scott wrote a book to disprove dem- onology and witeherafts there is no doubb he was, 10 a certain extent, imbued with superstition. There are sailors who do, not like to sail 00 Fridays, others who do not like to sneet •a squint-eyed woman'. Then again, there are people, like the Vicar of Wakefield, who bailey - ed .in ailey-ecl.ln lucky dseams; for instance,,a eolith and crossbones, which, is said to be the sign of an approaching wedding: PRINCESS MARY IS 155. Princess Mary celebrated her fifteenth birthday a couple of weeks ago. She has taken more after her Guelph ancestors in looks than any of her brothers, and is tall for her age --a less rare occurrence among the younger generation of the prin- cesses of the ]loyal ]rouse than it was among their elders, The Queen of Spain and Princess Patricia of Connaught aro well above middle height, but Princess Mary bids' fair to outstrip them both Young as she is, Princess Mary has already a strong personality. As a small girl, she was the auto- crat of the .Royal°nursery, and her brothers, who were all devoted to her, followed her lead. In those early days Princess Mary quite ap- preeiated the dignity of her posi- tion, and once when asked whether she would like a little sister, an - LONDON LAND SCARCITY. Building Operations Declining Be- cause of Small Area of Land. According to a London county council report, building operations are declining in London because of the diminishing area of its uneov- ercd land. For example, in 1907 houses and premises of all kinds, with a rateable value, of £481,000, were added, but for the year 1910 the rateable value of premises add- ed was only £199,000. The builder has to go out of London to find land to develop. As regards working-class accom- modation, it has not been necessary to provide much more in central London, bet in outer London the increase goes on. In 1910 there was in London and extra London a net addition of 20,000 rooms, but in 3906, when. the spirit of enterprise was upon the builders, over 52,000 rooms were provided. When new accommodation has been provided it has invariably been in tene- ments, for the number of new six - roomed cottages has fallen off con- siderably. Though the returns show only the actual .extra working-class accom- modation provided, ib must be borne in mind that the continued conversion of better -class houses into tenements is adding much ex- tra aeoommodation for the workers, A recent report of the Saint Pan- cras borough eonncil showed that in Maple Street, off Tottenham Court Road, there are about a dozen houses now occupied by about 50 different :families, From the London county council r'etur'n it appears that there has been very little change in the rents ruling for several years past. Though the value of property has depreciated, working -Class rents have not de- clined; For the central area the average weekly rent per room is three shillings one pence for the test of London two ehil�'ings 2X pence and for the outer suburbs two shillings i/ perroo. "Spick and span" is a term de- rived from the stretching et at new piece of cloth on spikes (hooks) and spans (stretchers). Princess Vary, swcred that site might not mind a sister, but would not care for an- other princess. Princess Mary has now come to years of discretion, and is a very charming young girl,, bright and vivacious, fond of outdoor life, a plucky rider, and a good whip. She has inherited the deft fingers of the Queen, and is an expert at all kinds of stitchery and intricate knitting. Three more years artist elapse be- fore Princess Mary snakes her first appearance at Court functions, but when that time comes there will probably be a good deal of enter- taining for the young princess at Buckingham Palace. PERPETUAL LIGHT. Strange ae it may seem, there ex- ists a perpetual lighthouse, need- ing no keeper, and yet as regular in its flashes of light as one maintain ed by the Government. This na- tural light never fails, and that means much for navigation. It is a volcano on the Island of San Salva- dor, This volcanic lighthouse is about eight miles inland from the port of Acajutla. It is a veritable pillar of eloud by day, and the flash of its light by eight has been valu- able to mariners for years. It can be seen fax out .2t sea, and a burst of theme has gone upward every se- ven minutes without the variation of a .second for years. A lighthouse fee is collected from all tesscle limb put in at the hasher neavest the vol- cano, and no skipper objects. He knows that the volcano is more re- liable titan the lighthouses kept by human beings on other coasts, and the novelty of the light is worth the price charged by the Government, r,. WHAT TACIT DOES. Tact ie a combination of good temper, scaly wit, quickness of per- ception, and ability to take in the exigency of the occasion instantly, It is never offensive, but is a balm allaying suspicion, and soothing. It is appreciated. It is plausible withoet being dishonest, apparently consults the welfare of the second party, and does not manifest any selfishness, It is never antagonis- tic, never opposes, never strokbs the hair the wrote; way, and never irritates- Tact, like a fine man- ner, eases the way, takes the jar out of the jolts, oils the bearings, epees doors barred to others, sits in the drawing -room when others must wait in the reception -hall, ,gets into the private office when others aro turned down, It admits you into exclusive circles, where wealth abounds, one though poor. It se - eaves :the position when merit is turned 'away. Tact is a great mana- ger ; it easily controls people, even when combined with small ability, where genius cannot get along, "Is there anything you can do better than anyone (lse?" "Yes," replied the small boy ; "1 Can read ,lily own writing!" THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY INTEUNA'1'IONAL LESSON, JUNE 9. Leeson X.—Bearing and doing, Luke 6. 39.49. Golden Text, James 1, 22. Verse 39. A parable—One of sev- eral grouped together in Luke's ac- count at this point. There is an in- timate connection in thought with the exhortation which immediately precedes, that, namely, against judging others. Can the blind guide the blind?* Jesus chooses a very familiar sub- ject for the figurative lesson of his parable. The affliction of blindness i:, very common in Palestine, even to -day. A pit—An open cistern or square tank such as was commonly used for the storing of rain water. 40. Disciple—Literally, learner; that is, the pupil. Not above his teacher—Not wiser or better informed than his teacher. Perfected—Or, equipped, when his period of training is completed. 41. Why beholdest thou? — Why dost thou take notice of? The mote—Literally, dry frag- ment, a mere splinter. In thy brother's eye --Tho pre- cepts which Jesus sets forth are in- tended for observance in domestic and social life, without special re- ference to their application in courts of law. The beam -Literally, main beam, the rafter supporting the center of the roof. The thought is that of blindness to one's own far more seethes fault. 42. Thou hypocrite—In classic Greek the word translated hypo- crite means actor, and is used in connection with the drama. In the New Testament, however, it often has the sense of one acting a false part in life, and hence is exactly equivalent in meaning to our Eng- lish word hypocrite used in the translation. Then shaft thou see clearly—A right understanding of self and an. appreciation of one's own faults and limitations is necessary before EXODUS FROM AULD SCOTIA CANADA ATTRACTS' THEM IN LARGE Nl?39ERS.' The Best Section of Scotland's Popo ulatlon Is Being Drained Away. If it were fishing alone it would be bad enough, writes G. Ward Pelee in the London Daily Mail, but turn where you will Amonrg the trades of Scotland you find the same quiet, constant, purposed drift westwards to a land where in- dustry wins more reward. Tho Scots were the first to discover Eng- land as a field for business enter.' prise, and it is the same dour de- termination, the same tendency -- inherent, in the natbonal character --towards success that is now driv- ing them back to undeveloped Can- ada,. During the last three days in Ab- melee's 1 have been talking to pea - pie, about, to start fur Canada, be- longing to the most varied trades , crofters and quarrymen, fishermen and household servants, estate-fae- tw•s and town trades-people—even policemen ; for out of the 111 of the ranks of the Aberdeenshire County police 7 left to go to Canada last year, while the railway companies lose men eonstantly, and find their former supply from ;the country laboring class cut off. QUIET EXODUS. The astonishing thing about this serious and persistent ebb of the best section of Scotland's impulse tion is that no one oustide the dis- trict actually appears to realize that it is going on. Here in Aber- deen all sorts and conditions of men tell you that "emigration is draining the best blood of the cotta- try" with sufficient repetition of the same phrase to snake it sound like a melancholy proverb of the place. Yet mowherc is there sign of any measure planned to stop the rot that,is eating into the prosper- ity of Scotland. AWA' TO CANADA. Like many dangerous diseases this national hemorrhage runs on , too quietly to attract attention, There _is nothing dramatic about one can rightly understand the ;the manner of the men's going. it needs of others. 42. Ne good tree—No sound or a slipping away offs from singly or in two'e and three rom- quit little Scots villages, where no one but the neighbors and the emigrat- ing agent know that they have gone. Sometimes scarcely even they. I was lunching on Friday with a white-haired crofter -farmer in an inn at the back of the market, when a red-eheeked old dame came up 10 ask after his wife. "Ou ay, she's daein' fairrly wee]," he said, "but A'm thenkin' ye wull nae hat liaised that we're a' awe' the Can- ada next week." The old lady had not heard, yet she did not seem at- all surprised that this lifelong neighbor of hers should be leaving his homeland for a new country at the age of fifty-three, at the head of a clan of eight grown children, "SUBURBS" OF ABERDEEN. perfect tree. Corrupt tree—The unsound, de- cayed or worm-eaten tree, incap- able of bringing forth good fruit. 44. Known by its own fruit—The quality of fruit which a given tree produces not only labels it among other trees, but determines abso- lutely its commercial value. Thorns , bramble bush—It has been said that there is probably no other country on earth of the same extent which 11aa so many plants with thorns and prickles as has the Holy Land. These often grow in close proximity to the fruit -hearing fig trees and grapevines. The thorns and thistles were enough in evidence in every fruit orchard and vineyard to give the words of Jesus a heightened significance, making his meaning perfectly clear to his hearers. 45. The good man --The Greek word man here used signifies man in the generic sense. Treasure—The sense is that of a hoarded and concealed treasure. )3ringeth forth ---Again and again; perpetually. Man , , treasure—Both nouns, as the italics indicate, are left to be supplied in the original. His mouth speaketh—It is in speech and action that the secrets of the heart are revealed. 46. Why call ye me ?--si question addressed to those among his hear- ers who, professing to be his dis- ciples, failed to obey his teachings. Tho things which I say—The prin- ciples which I have just been set- ting forth. 47. Heareth , . . tdoeth—The par- able which follows hinges on these two words. Hearing is the. essen- tial preliminary, without which the doing would be impossible. The teat of character, however, lies in the doingn 48. Rigge- d . deep—i n the ver- sion of the parable given by Mat- thew the men differ in the respec- tive sites which they select for building. Here they differ in the manner in which they lay the foun- dations, the one observing more care than the other in making' the excavation for tho foundation. A. flood arose—Floods caused by an unusual downpour during the rainy season are not infrequent in Palestine. The stream—The mountain fresh- et overflowing its banks and cutting itself a new channel rushed against that house. 49. Earth without a foundation— Quite probably the soft and level deposit of a former flood, eenveni- cnt, but most insecure for building purposes. Straightway it fell in—It had no chance whatsoever of withstanding the torrent. i' Docicy arc] hands to total of A. 000 are employed by the British Ad- miralty. A result of this constant flow of Scotsmen to Canada is that there are towns in the Dominion, which are regarded here only as rather ; distant ,anburbs of Aberdeen. The best emigration agents are the peo- ple who have already gone. As soon as they find themselves earn- ing twice what they,could in Aber- deenshire they send Inc their friends to come and settle near them. WAGES A.TTRACT THEM. A stranger taking up a copy of a popular weekly newspaper which circulates among the farmers and -- laborers of this corner of Scotland, Might well turn back to the, front pago to be sure that he was not looking at an over -sea Dominion paper. For in two columne of small.' advertisements in the copy of the. hotel table at which T write there are twenty-eight appeals for men to fill vacant berths in Canada end, perhaps More. indicative still, a pnblkshe s demand for agents to look atter the -sale of the easier to Scottish people in the Dominions.
