It' wee a fine morning, sunny aed calm,

"Can we do anything, Corporal?" Phil
asked,
"Yes, give us a drop of Mundy, if you

Joyce took out a flask and handed it

"and look at these men on the etretch:

there's nothing to make merry ebout,"
"Ah" said Phil, with a sigh, "when
we get orders to go in, we 'must go in;
and the first shot we fire may do that,"
and he pointed to the streteber on which
the poor boy was being carried away.
Aud we turned about and went silently

,On all their faces was a look of ete-rie
am and of sullen resolutiott etch as I
had never yet beheld. They were sharia'
featured, bronzed, and lean, and their
belts and uniforms faded and dirty. One
of them had a raw red sear across hie

anothinewore two odd boots; another had
a patch of blue cloth on the knee of his

out to the little Rifleman.
"That," said lie,' with it laugh, "is a

By this time it was quite dark, but
thougb the musketry flre had nearly died

occasionally there came frani•the trench-

long after we had got te our tents and

PTOMAINE POISONING.
In some focds bacteria, nt ihe
early etages of their action leave
no disagreeable or aohealthful ei-
fects, so far as yet proved. Mena
is in some measure ripened Hi
bacterial action, and the "gamey"
taste given meat by "hanging"
comes in part from the Paine
eatise, though in both cases the
ehanges are chiefly slue to Oio ac-
tion of ferments normally present.
It is not easy to draw the line
between the harmless ripening p10 •
cesses and the ba.eterial changes
cla'sseci as decay, but if the bacteria,
are allowed to grow without hin-
drance the time comes when the
food, either animal or vegetable,
attack -ed by bacteria, breake up in-
to a loathesome mass.
The food may become dangerous.
even bekre it shows outward sigma
of decomposition, for the bacteria
raay, as they feed upon the pro-
teids, give off substancies known as
ptomaines, hardly to be recogniz-
ed without laboratory apparatus,
but some of whieh are very poison-
ous to man. Certain apparently
mysterious causes of illness have
been traced to such causes, and
milk, fish, meat, cheese, baked
beans, ice cream, and ether foods
have all been found responsible or
•"food poisoning,"
It is no uncommon thing to hear
that a, large number of the persons
attending a. banquet were taken
violently ill within a few hours
after, all with very similar symp-
toms. In some cases the illness
has been of brief duration in
others it hnti
as conued for days,
or even resulted in death. In one
instance the offending food may
have ben lobster salad, in another
cold -storage chicken, in still an-
other ice cream. These severe cas-
es of wholesale poisoning generally
occur in the 'summer and after a
'very heated term.
It is not known under what con-
ditions these peculiar poisons are
developed in foods; we know only
that they are the result of bacter-
ial action not so advanced as to
give warning to the senses. It is a
safe euk to eat very sparingly of
foods which are liable to such
changes in hot weather, and especi-
ally where the raeth'ods of Pre-
paration are not known.
WITH LEFTOVER FATS.
Fats thatare derived from the
cooking of bacon, ham, chicken
beef and othm
er eats shoulci be'
kept, each in its own receptacle, to
be used kr different pueposes.
Home rendering of both suet
and leaf lard has its advantages,
because the product is generally su-
perior to what can be bought for
the same price.
Both suet and leaf lard require
cooking in order to loosen the fat
from the tensher membrane that
holds it. For this purpose the ma-
terial is cut in small pieces and
covered with water and allowed to
cook slowly for some time until no
more water remaine and the scrap
has turned to a light brown.
A better method for suet is that
used by German housewives, who
economize on butter by the use of
beef fat enore than do Canadian
housekeepers. The suet is cut in
small pieces and covere,d with
water, in which it is allowed to
soak for a day, the water being
changed once in the time, It is
then drained and put into an iroo
kettle with one-half tea cup of
skim milk to every pound of the
suet. It should be cooked very
slowly.
When it has partly cooled it
should be carefully poured off.
This fat has no unpleasant taste or
odor, and in many recipes may be
subetituted for part of the butter,
Some cooks add a pound of leaf
lard to four or five olf the suet;
this makes a softer fat, as lard has
a lower melting point that beef
fat..
' An old-fashioned method of clari-
fying fat from the soup kettle, or
from cooked meat, so that it may
be used in the kitchen, is to add
the cold fat to a liberal qua,ntity
of cold water, then heat slowly and
let cook fer an hour or more. When
cold, the eake of fat is removed and
the lower portion, which will con-
tain the small pa,rticles, of meat,
etc., should be scraped away and
the white, clean fat saved. If the
flavor or color of both are not sat-
isfactory the, process may be. re-
peated several times.' Another me-
thod which is often recommended
is to cook a number of slices of raW
potato in the boiling fat.
When an ice chest 10 used, fat, M
small quantities ine,y be easily kept
sweet for cooking purposes. If
lard is rendered at home in quan-
tity sufficient for a long time, it
should be kept covered in tins or
earthen jars, in a cool, dry place.
SOME GOOD RECIPES.
Coffee Cake -Half a yeast calse
dissolved in a half pint 'of water ;
two tablespoonfuls a suger, a pinch
of salt, flour for stiff battee. Beat
all together well and set to rise
ever night. Next morning add one
cup of sweet milk, half a cup of
butter or lard, half a ellp 01 seed-
ed and halved raisins, and a table-
spoonful of ground cinnamon. Mold
into kaves' and set in a warin
place to rise.
Ripe Tomato Relish. -Chop four
quarts of ripe tomatoes fine and
drain off the liquM, , Seed and
ecalel three ripe and three green -
peppers. With a sharp knife cut a
.go bunch of celery into small
s -chopping would bruio it. Mix
se ingredients tegether and add
a cupful of grated horseradish, half

TOO GOOD TO USE.
A Firehl11.11'S Wife Would Not Let
Risu Utie 'Uniform at a Fire.
Before a, juetiee, in a small Eng-
lieh town of the ,sou-Sh coast, there
appeared, not long ago, a wife who
accused her ,husbenel of osault and
battery, The man admitted that he
haoleeized her and thrown her
down, perhaps roughly, yet not
without making sure she would fall
upon a .soft place. But he had done
•so, he declared, in defense of his
person a,nel his honor. He was a
fireman, and .she had tried to keep
him from going properlf appareled
&MI equipped to a fire. ,
The fire company of his village, he
explained., was eomposed chiefly of
volunteers, whose uniform,a were
kept in their homes and kept in re-
pair by their wives, a task Oat no
wife .performed more faithfully than
his- own; in faet, sha was too 'care-
ful of et. When a night alarni was
given foe a fire in the quarter be-
tween the glue fa'abory and the
wharveS, and he had jumped up to
drew she had positively refused to
allow him to put it on, declaring
that smoke and cinderwere bad
enough, bat when it eame to salt
and glue, and fish -scales as well, it
was beyond all reason: his oldest
trousersand a pea -jacket wore
plenty good enough. He had 're-
monstrated and .she had vituper-
ated.
"But I didn't lay a, finger on her,
your honor, not till she 'eaves,1
kit-f,1e. at me 'end when I grabbed
for -inc bots," he pretested, "and
then it oome to. inc 'two PO less
than a public Pity to 'chuck ter on
'er bed where she couldn't hinter -
fere and what I sees to be my Pity
I ups and dees. So I chucked ter."
Were elackinge still the accepted
punishinent kr vixenish wives, she
might have been awarded poetic
justice at the nozzle of a hose. Aa
it was, the case ended meld gen,eral
laughter, in the discharge of the
aggaieved husbend, and a, repri-
mand to the too cateful wife.
In our sowri country, and in a
community by no meane rustic, a
Itibia in.cident but a, few days aka
proved that it is not only the' bet-
ter halvea of firemen who can be too
finicky. The fire -wagon, respond-
ing to a still alarm for a ehireney
fire, was met by the 'son of the
,house, who eagerly snatched an ex-
tinguisher, while the firemen were
unreeling the hese. But the eagle
eye ef the chief was upon him.

DIAL WILL HAKE SEA SAFE.
Now Device 'Will Show Object
Within Eight Mile Radius,
Samuel Spitz, a, ship fitter em-'
ployecl at Mare Island, California,
bids fair to become famous a0 an
inventor, as he has patented an
"aerial dial" which he asserts will
show at night any vessel or objet
at sea, within a radius of eight
miles, The objects, according to
Spitz, are thrown on the dial by
memos of aerial waves.
Spitz has,ben experimenting
with the se-clled "aerial dial" for
months, and says that when he has
the apparatus perfected he hopes
to be able to see even into the hold
of a vessel by mom of the radio
apparatus.
The inventor has one of the dials
and a wireless appa,ratus erected set
his home in his eity, and has been
able to "look around a corner,' so
to speak, ancl discern objects in his
basement while .seated in his labora-
tory.
London streets were first lighted
