The soldier, according in Kipling., is an absentminded beggar. The Haiti -sib law itself seems to have the prevaleant idea about Tommy Atkin§ being absent-minded, for it gives him it special privilege which is de- nied te the civilian. This is tin re- gard to the m-aking of a will. If the ordinary civilian in the Old Country wishes to make his, will lie. has to comply with all :sorts of for- malitieS and teebniealities. He ia practically boned to• go to or trained lawyer-othe Twice there will he trouble and expense when he dies. For Tommy •At -kin e none of these terrors exist. He hos the privilege of ignoring them altogether, .and 'disposing oY. his belongings•in a, veny shnple way. He does not need any witnesses, nor :technical phrases, nor elaborate &moms. Ile, can even dispense with -writing if he so de- sires, and just say, by word of mouth, what his will is with regard to 'his property. The law aa,ya that a soldier who is in actual military service may dis- pose of his personal ,estate with -out the usual formalities. It con be either in writing or by word of ramith. He need not wait until he is twenty -on& either, as a civilian has to do. The important point which is always cropping up, however,. is, when is a soldier in actual milita,ry service? There were some interesting eases on the point, altos: the Boer War. When the War Offiee wanteti.volun- teers for South Afiricnr a certain young man offered himself. He passed all the tmetlical tests and went into barracks, which happened to be 'in the same town. He; then made his will in baraa.oks. Later on he went out to South Afriee, where he was kill,ed in ac- tion. His will was disputed, and ,attempt mode to up.set it ion the geound that he was not in actual military service when it was made, It was decided, however, that as soon as he ,hact trileen cettain steps under .orders preliminary to going to the front li-e eva,s in aCtual peryiee, and the will was de- elared to be a good ond ,valid sol- dier's The privilege extends not ona.y to soldiers, .but to 'sailers. as well. la the case of p, sailor he must be at sea when the will is m.ade. As usual in these cases, itis left to the couetssto say who is a ;sailor within Ole 'meaning of the Aet. For rio- 00 parser on board a warship, had made a will without the usual formalities. " Subsequently the will was qaestionted and .the question was, "Was 41, p141.1e0, a seamen?" The cooirt decided that he was. More than one will has 'been niade on the ba ttlefield, and . more than one soldier has died 1 tom woun,clis within a few minutes, of oorabblong onit it dying message which has been construedinto a Daring the Boer war, one of ova soldiers, before, going to the trenein' ea, told' one oS his officers that if he were killed he wa,nted em his pro- perty to go to rseertain person.

Neverbheless, there ore many preserves that may be prepared at this time of year. They are economical in two ways - they are made at a time when the liolate preserver is not rushed with other work of the same kind, and they are made from fruit that is in season, and, 'therefore, cheap. Apple jelly should be made at the same time that some other apple preserve is prepared, for the ,skins and nores from the apples used in some (Aber way May be added to the jelly. A good jelly, in fact, ellal be made from skins and cores alone, but the took can satisfy her desire for economy by an extra, core from every apple. Jelly foe a Year. -The cores and skins shotild be, broken and the whole a,pples should be washed and sliced with skins and eores in place. Then •the whole mass should be pat in a granite or aluminum preserving kettle stnd barely cover- ed with water and cooked slowly until tender. Next it should be drained through a jelly bag for twelve hours and then measured, and 'to every pint of juice ,a, pound of granulated sugar should be al- lowed. The juice should be ibeought to the boiling point arid then the sugar, slightly 'warmed, should be added and •stirred intothe' juice until dissolved. Then the mixture should be boiled rapidly until 10 10 ready to jelly and iit .should be put in jelly gla-sses and 'sealed. This jelly tan he made now toslast for a year. It is it delicious jelay in sum- mer, simply because apples are then out of season and the baste is, therefore, welcome, Apple preserves an be made to give their quota, of eores and skins to the jelly kettle. Use rather tart app es wath good flavor, and man and pare and quarter them. Weigh them then. and allow an equal weight of granulated sugar. And bo each pound of frisit allow • the juice of bwo lemons, the grated rind of one and a cupful of eold water.
