Breakfast Eggs --Boil eggs herd, remove the shells, and cut thexn in small pieces, or temp them coarse- , ly," the whites and the yolks to- geeher. Make a cupful of white sauce- with a tableepuonful each of butter and flour, cooked together until they bubble and a half pint of .milk, stirred with these until the sauce is smooth and thick, Season to taste with salt and pepper, add the chopped eggs, and pour on rounds or squares of toast. Serve hot. Baked Eggs (1 -)—Butter small nappies en the inside, put a table- spoonful of milk er gravy in each one and break into it an egg, tak- ing pains not to mix the yolk and white. Dust it with salt and pep- per and put another spoonful of milk or gravy en it. Pet the nappy in the oven fur five minutes or un- til the white is set and the yolk be- gins to be firm and serve in the dish in which it was cooked, Baked Eggs ()I.)—Cover the bot- tom of individual nappies with minced meat ur fish of any kind, seasoning it well unless salt fish is used. If you lack either of these you can fit a piece of buttered toast in the bottom of the nappy, moisten it with gravy, and drop the egg up- on it is in the preceding recipe. Put -the gravy or milk over it and bake as before. Creamed Eggs—Boil six eggs hard, throw them into cold water to loosen the shells, peel the eggs and cut them into thin slices. Cover the bottom ef a buttered dish with peppered and salted crumbs, place a layer of the sliced eggs on these, then another layer of the crumbs dotting this with bits of butter and seasoning with more pepper aid lt, Continue in this way until is full, making the top lay- . Just before putting o the <lisle a cupful or of soup stock, top_ with the •-asoning, un - and a sprinkling of salt and pepper, set the nappies in a pan of hot water in the oven, and bake until the eggs are set. Household IBMs. Always use soft water for wash- ing purposee whenever possible, Clean nickel and silver pieces with ammonia, applied by a flannel cloth. Wash a little paraffin in the blacking to increase the brightness of the polish. Cheese is veru wholesome pre- pared with macaroni, potatoes er breadcrumbe. Regular bathing with hot water before bedtime is excellent treat- ment for the eyes. To renew the lustre of morocco, or any other leather, apply the white of an egg with a sponge. When peeling potatoes place them in liot water and you will be able to take the skin off quite easily. Always fasten the ends of the threads when you finish a seam done by a chainstitch machine, A velvet hat can be kept in con- dition by wiping it with a piece of black stocking after brushing. When washing out the refrigera- tor some washing socia in the water will help to keep it sweet. Attention to detail—orderliness and perfect elenliness—make the kitchen a place of peace and beauty. If canned pears are insipid, drain off the .juice and cover them in- stead with the juice of oranges well sugared. When kitchen towels wear thin, stitch two of them together around the edges and diagonally across the centre. A delicious gelatine pudding• is made with the juice of canned strawberries. Add the juice of an orange to the strawberry. As soon as tongte is boiled ten- der, it should have cold water run over it for a minute ; then the skin will slip off easily. When furniture does not actually need polishing it is a good idea to wipe it off thoroughly with a cloth dipped in linseed oil. A good polish for patent leather shoes is one part linseed oil and two of cream, well mixed. Apply with a bit of flannel, then rub off. In running the sewing machine for an extended time the work will be much lighter if a pad or old car- net is made to fit the treadle so it will not slip round. ..-f• the most useful herbs in -thyme, which is invalu- '• ing forcemeat, meat emon and common ,.ed. it stuns, s9 cap and washed ppear- , •un a e be- 'dges ap- iuch — parsley, 3, .. tire into a frying is a tablespoonful of ad butter.

JACOB LEWIS ),NGLEII.ART. Chairman of Tenrlskaming and Northern Ontario Railway. 'When the Elk Lake branch of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway was opened recently for trafllo and the occasion brought to- gether town officials and townspeo- ple, the Mayor of Elk Lake, turn- ing to Mr, Jacob Lewis Englehart, chairman of the T. & N. 0, Com- mission, said : "We are well satis- fied with what you have done, sir, and have nothing more to ask." Small communities are usually large in their demands and their wants are not easily satisfied. But this compliment, unsolicited, of ceuree, but not unmerited, was more substantially expressed when a huge key of native silver was pre- sented to the man who had labored hard and long to bring about such a consummation. Yet this is not at all surprising. One hardly needs to enquire to learn that the name of"'Engle- hart" is in the household vocabu- lary of the Temiskaming country. The personality of J. L. Englehart is stamped upon its surface. At the time of the great Porcupine fire two years ago, with its terrible loss of life and property, when the cry for help was insistent, the Government of Ontario asked Mr. Englehart to take charge of the relief organiza- tion. He did so with the same spirit that prompted him to accept the chairmanship. It was the call of duty, the opportunity for service. Within an hour the entire resources of the railway were co-operating to assist the fire sufferers. Every man was at work. There was neither delay nor trifling. Genius and Capacity. Ontario may well be proud to muster men of such calibre. Mr. Englehart brought to the responsi- bilities of the chairmanship of the Government railway genius and ca- pacity and human understanding. Through all the years that he has been associated with the develop- ment of that North country it can be said that he has been at once counsellor, guide, and friend, Only •a few weeks ago when a for- estry expert spoke in derogatory terms of the possibilities of the clay belt of Northern Ontario, he was one of the first to answer the charge and say that the criticism was based on lack of information. Any doubt whatever about the potentialities of that Empire of the North is to him a personal affront, ,,.. -- Mr, Englehart himee:? •is a strik- ing figueee, ;tee him once and you w.1,Ulways remember the man, • ilir.

Sun's :Reqs Destroy Clearness of Air and Produce Thick Haze. That sunlight may destroy the clearness of the air and create in it a thick Haze or fog is the conelnsion of John Aitken, one of the world's greatest authoritieson the forma- tion and phenomena of mists. We are told in Science Abstracts (Lon= don), that on many mornings the air at Falkirk, Seotland, although clear before sunrise, gradually thickens 1.'o a dense haze, while in pure country air similar changes are never noticed. As the result of Mr. Aitken's observations sever- al oonelusions are arrived at with respect to this haze, of which the most important is that when the wind is light and brings moist air from an impure direction sunshine invariably destroys the clearness of the air. The writer goes on to give the results of some experi- ments made to determine the cause ofthese sun -formed fogs. We read: "From the conclusions mentioned above it seemed probable that the action of sunlight on some of the impurities in the air caused the formation of nuclei, and that these nuclei possess an affinity for water, as the fogs were formed even on days when. the air was not com- pletely saturated. For carrying out the experiments an apparatus was used which enabled the effect of eunligiht on different gases to be tested readily. . It was found that a mixture of sulphur dioxide and pure air, while kept• in the dark, had no tendency to produce nuclei, but after being acted on by light, especially by sunshine, it be- came a nucleus—producer. Some of these nuclei were found to have an affinity for water. When the oxid was nixed with air containing the products of imperfect combus- tion, the facility with which the nuclei were produced by sunning was considerably increased. Some experiments made with the normal products ef -combustion showed thee, they acted in a v_eewenineteen ivay to the astifitiali. • -. produced oxid, From. -et,,n ideration of the amount of coal burned annually in the Bri- tieh Isles it is shown that there would he ample impurities produced to, account for all the observed sun - formed fogs. Attention is called to the fact that the present crusade against smoke -production will do nothing to atop these fogs. They have their origin in invisible impur- ities produced by combustion. The author points out in conclusion that he has in the present work dealt only . with the effects of the products of burning sulphur, ,but that evidently there is a- possibility of conte of the other gasses pro- duced clueing combustion playing some part in the production of these fogs."—Literary Digest. • PROCESS TO HARDEN STEEL: Engineer's Invention May ltevoln- tionize tt'lnatneltts. A process that may conceivably bring about a revolution in arms= nlents is believed to have been clis- cevered by a yeung Sheffield (Eng- land)' engineer, William Henley V\-orrall. Briefly put, it is (material- ly to increase the resistance of ar- mor plate,while at the same time reducing its weight by from 10 to 20 per cent. The invention has been tested up to a point and is being further ex- perimented upon. An eight -inch plate made by Mr. Worrall's pee - cess has, it is stated, resisted a fourteen -inch shell that would have pierced ordinary armor of the same thickness, The invention consists of a medi- ion eprocess Fitat f the whole of making armor plate, eommencnig With the ingot, which goes through modifications in the rolling mills and then • requires different heat treatment from that provided in the Mr. l:n lehart has been chaitrnau existing fnrnnces, The .ordinary g armor plate has a hardened back of the Temis]catning and Northern and .tret, and a soft note, Ontario Railway Cunuuission since Mr, Worrall's plate consists of a 1903.

The following attractive story was told many years' ago by an Eng- lish traveller in Turkey in Asia, who translated it from the language of that country: In the tribe of Negedeh there was a wonderful horse, whoss beauty and speed were unequalled; and a Bedouin of another tribe, whose name was Daber, longed to possess it. Having in vain offered camels and all his gold for it, 11e at length hit upon the following device: He resolved to stain his face, to clothe himself en• rags, to limp as if dis- abled, and thus .to play the part of a lame beggar. In this disguise he waited on the road for Naber, the owner of the horse, who he knew was to pass that way. When he saw him ap- proaching on his beautiful steed, he cried Out in a weak voice "1 amt a poor stranger 1 For three clays I have been unable to move from this spot to look for food. Help me, and heaven will reward yon.,' The Bedouin kindly, offered to take him upon his Horse and carry him home, but Daber replied "Alas 1 I cannot rise; I have no strength left," - Naber, touched with pity, dis- mounted, - notuted, led his horse tuthe epee, , and with great dlffieulty set the seeming beggar on his back. But no sooner did Daber feel himself in pilgrimage with ample means. Schools exist for the young, taught by monks and nuns.

The members live as a reli- gious family, each doing some share of labor, and enjoying some share of the results. There are also modern churches, magnificent ones, built within a de- cade or two, either as memorials or for some missionary purpose. The Jewish tonna city is constantly in- creasing, many of them looking for out noticing that the stone had al- ready been rolled back from the door. 5. Entering into the tomb—In order to ,do this it would be nec- essary to stoop down and pass in one at a time. The sequence of events is slightly different in the different accounts, due' to the extra- ordinary nature of the events and to the fact that the testimony of the various eye -witnesses was not writ- ten down t--• these witnesses them- selves, and by others only years after the events hacl taken place. A young pian sitting—Matthew describes him as an angel; Luke represents the women as frightened by the sight of two men who stood by them, arrayed in white. The appearance of the heavenly visit- ant, according to Matthew, "was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow" (Matt. 28, 3). Luke, in turn, speaks of their "dazzling ap- parel" (Luke 94. 4). The impres- sion made upon the women was overwhelming. Some remembered having .seen only one; others two. '0. Be not amazed—The words of the angel are reassuring.

STORY OF A S11EEP•FINDhil. !low li ]',dung Collie Found the Sheep 'Under is Snowdrift. Hill -sheep --the sort that are bred in expo.led end snowy regions—are a eingtdarly hardy stock. A wrieer in Chembers',s Journal flays that a fleet( of one hundred was buried in the drifted snow during the winter of 1870, and only found and.dug out seventeen daye later. A number of Heedwicks on the Otunberiancl hills were buried for three weeks; most of them were alive when found, but none had a shred of wool on Bim; each had been gnawed baro by hie starving comrades. When sheep are covered by drifts, they keep moving restlessly, and so work out a sort of cave under the snow; their bedily heat—the sheep's normal temperature is one hundred and four degrees—helps to melt the snow, and also serves to keep open a Hole or two above by which they 'get air enough to breathe. This bele is often 111e means whereby they are rescued, for the small of sheep is strong, and the •sllephord's dog scents them, and calls his master' to dig. Sheep -dogs ase clever, bub not all are gifted as sheep -finders. It is said that a dog does not learn the art of sheep -finding in snow except in early youth. Heavy snow -storms are obviously essential to the reve, lation of the gift, and as heavy snow -storms do not occur every winter, a great many dogs grow up without having a chance to show. what they can clo. Mr. Diokinson, who wroth on farming in Cumberland nearly a century ago, tells !tow a young col- lie scarce out of puppyhood showed himself a sheep -finder. It was after the Martinmas snow- fall of 1807, the heaviest known in the border country for years. A flock of four hundred Herdwicks had disappeared and the owner and his. friends set out anmod with long poles to probe the likely drifts. Among the dogs they took with them was the young collie, who ab first regarded the whole business as a joke, and enjoyed himself in1- mcnse]y, racing and tumbling in the snow. After a time, however, he stopped playing, and began to take e, acri- d -en 11211:1'eseelit"Tric•l,T.'se diene,, , He watched the ,Heil probing the dews snow, smelled of the. poles, and miffed M the holes they left. His master let him alone, in the hope that if they chanced -to find the sheep's place of burial, the dog would tell them of it. After some :time the yeung collie clearly realized what was going on. He began to range for himself, and when ho came upon a ventilation- hole through which the smell of sheep rose strong to his nostrils, he began to scratch, whimpering eagerly with excitement, while the older dogs stood aloof, no doubt. in scorn of the youngster's enthusi- asm. But the young dog was a sheep -finder; repel after the first lot of buried Herclwick's had been res- cued, he continued his search, and barked with delight every time snore sheep were dug out. N Cautions. One day a very nervous, timid - looking woman, accompanied by a robust farmer, appeared on the platform of a little railway -station at e remote country town. For a time she devoted her• attention to the time -table, but site did not find there the information she sought, and she stepped up to the station- master as he came out of the of- fice. "Will you please tell me if the three -fifteen train has gone yeti" she asked, in 'apparent concern.
