To Bake Potatoes With Gas.
Here is a hint to same one using
gas. If you wish to bake 'potatoes:,
take a cover from your other stove,
put potatoes on this and turn a deep
agate dieh over them. This saves the
gas and they bake very nice; do not
turn the gas too high.

was •rejoicing that his harvestnof tips,
was not blighted after all. \
Mallory completed his bilk', by gees

and establishing him as Jailer, with
a warning: "Now, porter, don't take
your eye off 'em."
"Lordy, I wont bat an eyelid."
"If either of these lads coughs, Put

The porter chuckled: "My fingers is

Mallory, pocketed two of the cap-
turedrevolvers, leirt a need might
arise suddenly again. As he hurried
down the aisle, he was received with
cheers. The passengers gave him an
ovation, but he only smiled timidly,
and made haste to Marjorie's side.
She regarded him with such idon
atry that be almost regretted his deeds
But this mood soon passed in her ex-
citement, and in a moment she was
.surreptitiously showing him the
bracelet. He became an accessory
after the fact, and shared her guilt,

As Ile drew his head in, a side
glance, thowed him that up near the

miserably weary train crew in line.
He found the conductor just about
to pull the bellrope, to proceed. The
conductor had forgotten all about the

'aside, and told him the situation, then
turned to Marjorie, said: "Excuse me

conductor followed Mallory througe

Mallory ran back to Marjorie, tut'
the conductor followed more slown

cars, and making certain, that ilia
train was ready to move on its way.
Mallory went straight to Dr. Tem-
ple, with a burning demand:
"You dear old fraud, will you marry
me?"
Dr. Temple laughed and nodded.
•Marjofie and Mrs. Teinple had been
telling him the story of the prolonged
elopement, and he was eager to atone
for his own deception, by putting an
end, to their misery.
"Just wait one moment," he said,
and as a final proof of affection, he
unbuttoned his collar and put it on
backwards. Mrs. Temple brought out
tbe diecarded bib, and he donned it

plained many a mystery the old man

Even at he made ready for the
ceremony, the conductor appeared,
looked him over, grinned, and reached
for the bell -cord, 'with a cheerful: "All

Mallory had a sort of superstitious
dread, not entirely unfounded on ex-
perience, that if the train got under
Way again, it would run into some
new obstacle to his marriage. He
turned to the conductor:
"Say, old man, just hold the train
till after my wedding, won't you?"
It was not much to ask in return
for his services, but the conductor
was tired of being second in com-
mand. He growled:
"Not a minute, We're 'way behind
time."
"You might _wait till I'm married,"
Mallory pleaded.
"Not on your life!" the conductor
answered, and he pulled the bell -rope
twice; in the distance, the whistle an.
swered twice.
Mallory's temper eared again. He
meted: "Thie train doesn't go another
step till I'm married!" He reached
lip and pulled the bell -rope once; in
'tbe distance the whistle sounded
once.

"Oh, no, you won't," said Menem',
as he whisked a revolver from his
right pocket and jammed it into the
conductor's w,atch-p.ocket. The con-
ductor came to' attention.
Then Mallory, standing with hes
right hand on military duty, put out
his left hand, and gave the word:
"Now, parson."
He smiled still more as he heard
Kathleen's voice wailing: "But I can't

"Silence! Silence!" Dr. Temple
nomraanded, and then: "noir' hands,

WAS TROUBLED WITH
SOUR STOMACH
MID BILIOUSNESS
Sour Stomach and Biliousness are
caused by, a sluggish Liver, for when it is
not working properly, it holds back the ,
bile which is so essential to promote the
movement of the bowels, and the bile
gets into the blood instead of passing
tlarough the usual channel, thus causing
many stomach and bowel trou bles.
"There is only one way to prevent the
liver from becoming up -set, and that is
by the use of Minimalist's Lesen-lavna
Pune.
Miss Julia Lang, Yarko, Sask., writes:
—"For several years I Was troubled
with sour stomach and biliousness, and
did not get any relief until I used MIL -

taken them two weeks when my trouble
was quite gone, and I will recommeed
them to all who suffer as I did." -

THE 13EL1ED
Tine Was the Originel Dress of
Scottish Highlander.'
The original dresis Of the inghlander
was the belted plaid. This was a piece
of tartan cloth, two yards bread an
four lona, Which was drawn around
the Nernst in nicely adjusted eoldri and
tiglitly buckled with a belt. The lower
part came down to the knees in much
the same Manner as the modern kilt.
While the upper Part was drawn up
and adjusted to the left shoulder, so
that the right arm Might be perfectly
free. This upper part was the plaid,
which was used as -a coveringkfor tbe
shoulders and body in wet weatber,
and when the use of both arms was
required it was fastened across the
breast with a brooch, often curiously
enriched. A. brooch was also used to
fasten the plaid on the left shoulder.
To attire himself in the belted plaid
required on the part of the highlander
no small amount of dexterity. The
usual way was to lay it on the floor
and after carefully arranging tbe
folds to lie down Amon it and then
buckle it on. The lower end was fare
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such a dress in the highlands is ob.
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass a night in the open air in tbe
most inclement weathee, while the
loose undergarment enabled him to
wade rivers or ascend mountains with
equal ease. It was thus peculiarly
adapted to the warrior, the hunter ancl
the sherpherd.—London Mail.

Russell retires.
No. 44 is one of the rooms in the
Wills and Probate Department of
Somerset House—the room set apart
for personal applications, where no
lawyer or "any person acting as ad-
visor is allowed to enter.
All day long in No. 44 a group of sad
people, widows and widowers and be-
reaved sons and daughters, sit patient-
ly around an oblong table endeavoring
with Mr. Russell's kindly aid and ad-
vice, to fill up the long schedule
which show in detail their `little all."
Correspondence with Mr. Russell's
office is not allowed. The personal
note is the feature of the office, and
business can only be transacted with
the applicant in person.
One day recently seven recently -be-
reaved widows were sitting around
the table in the office endeavoring,
with unaccustomed pens, to make out
full and complete lists of what was
left them to face the world with. Mr.
Russell was playing the part of

air of the old family solicitor.
One old lady, after forty years of
matrimony, whose fingers were twist-
ed and gnarlecl with hard work and
rheumatism, wanted to write as3 in
the figure column as representing her
late husband's savings of a lifetime
locked up in the savings bank.
"I never could manage them
threes," she said, after an earnest
struggle and a friendly hand stole
over hers to guide the poor old fin-

Germany Subsidizes Drama.
'In Germany there are 20 subsidized
court theatres and nearly 100 theatres
-subsidized by municipalities, In
many cases the theatre is granted to
its director rent free, in others a sub-
sidy is also given. In some cases the
cost of the orchestra, the scenery, con
tumes, and tbe heatirm and lighting
are borne by the town, There is great
variety in method and in degree but
the result is that throughout Ger-
many the art Of the drama is officially
recognized, and the theatre is regard-
ed as an essential factor in the town's
life, resulting in splendid theatres giv-

The Ontario eovernment acted
wisely in saying,. some little time
ago, that the period allotted to the
use of French in primary Schools
in. this province should be limited
to one hour per day. It has acted
weakly and wisely in the change
recently made in permitting this
time limit to be extendedat the
option, of the local inspector. The
old arrangement ensured that pup-
ils attending schools 10' those por-
tions of the Province Where 'there
is a considerable Frhech element,
would secure at least a wolkiing
knowledge of the common lan-
guage of the notentry, The new
one is all too likelyto result in
English being practically ignored
insections! wheee French political
influence is strong.
Moreover. if French is madethe

Comments on the Woman Questirml
Lead to a Duet
The peaceful old University ce
Heidelberg in Germany is the scene oi
what truthfully might be called vim
lent warfare these days. The woman
question is at the root of the mattel
and two dignified professors are Memel
to fight a duel over the question;
Recently Privatdocent Arnold Rage
in a lecture on political econorna
spoke somewhat severely of the nevi
woman movement, which he said wan
promoted by "one maids, candles
women, widows and Jewesses, ben
eschewed by those who are true moth.
ers in the best sense of the word."
He was not aware that in his audi.
ence was Frau Marianne Weber, wife
of a professor and a prominent meth -
cress and a leading member of the
German Woman's Emancipation
League.
She requested Prof, Rage to wittn
draw his statement, but rvhen he ex'
plaineci that he had not the womez
of Heidelberg in mind, and that he
referred to the movement in general
Frau Weber retorted that he was
guilty of an unworthy subterfuge, and
that his utterances were the product
of an immature mind, which is about
the worst insult that can be inflictedi
upon a German university professore
Prof. Ruga, on leaving the hall,
went to find Prof. Weber, and asked
Lim whether he agreed with bus wife
and if so whether he would kindly,
name bus second? The husband ac.
cepted the challenge.
Meanwhile the academical council
has interposed to have the affair senI
tled peaceably, but in vain, Tho stu-
dents are taking sides in the manse
and duels between them are ef
