If you are given anything with your pot'lt it 10 'usually country -chutney. Thereby showing that pork was not originally served with apple saueo. Actually the habit comesfrom Yorkshire, where they are exceedingly fond of mixing sweets with their savouries. Legend has it that a famous York- pbire gourmet, having partaken of a mighty home -killed leg of, pork, felt nausea creeping over him and tures- ed fpr relief to a wooden bowl full of pippins beside frim. With the re- sult that his indigestion was cured and the gourmet had found yet anoth- erdish to his palat It is easy, then, to trace the origin, of jam roly-poly with hot mutton, red- currant jelly with the same, currant dumplings with beef, and orange :sauce with duck. (The ,last an old and favorite recipe from the. Freucb' Court of other days. In France they cultivate and eat the dahlia, having discovered quite by chance, ;when other food was short, that the bulbous root, Moaned, cut up and fried, makes a pleasant food, And in medieval England pigs were used to scent out the eelivious truffle, which hides itself ling* beneath the ground. . Truffles, also, are cleaned and cut in slices (and fried, to resem- ble and even rival our friend the mush- room. Cream and milk were used to soften ' the onet-ime harshness of tea until, .they are now a conventional habit; but the Chinese would shiver if you offered them encli additions, prefer- ring to '"take it ::eat " FIam and eggs is rumored to be the Sct ttish tribute to British culinary art, and when 1n olden times bacon was coarser, str'onger,and salter than it is in Our rarefied days, eggs were obviously used to tone down its salt- ness, or brine. Tripe and onions hails from the /some counties. Delving into a book of -reminiscences, one finds that tare old-timetripe dresser was a man of substance; that the dish flourished greatly in the early part of the twentieth century and that not an eating house from one end of London to the other but boasted of being the originator of the salubrious dish. Ac- tually, tripe and onions was original• ly concocted by a pieman, who sold it from door to door over two hun- dred years ago, when It cost the magnificent sum of thr-elitfence per portion. Peas pudding and pickled pork hails from Kent. Pudding pie, that quaint mixture of eggs -cum -rice -cum -cinna- mon; currants, pastry, and milk, was ` once an Easter' dish and offered to ,the poor on Easter Sunday as a mighty relish. It is also a native of Kent. Many dishes there are that owe acci- dent for their origin; they hail from Devon and from Cornwall, from the Midlands, from our coast and from Wales. 'It is possible, however, that no dish is quite so famous as the complement of bread sauce to turkey,. and in this case economy was respon- sible; at one time the bread sauce outvied the turkey in its largesse.

"It's the fall of the year, Janet Mac- Quarrie reminded Debbie, "The •cran- berries are red, now in the rocky pas- ture," "I've been thinking for a week or, more, Aunt Janet, that it's time to be preserving than for rho: winter; and. I've only been welting, till I was sure they were dead ripe." "You'd best be doing it now, Deb- bie, or you'll not have them .picked before the frost gets at them," It was a day of flooding windy light when Debbie at last took her pails tp the rocky pasture. The land beyond wept up to a bald biftel): and there, tao, the cranberry 'nee were clinging. From Hasher TV Chance and even from other settle- ments around the bay, the women and children would come before snowfall to strip' the vines of• their scarlet fruit. Already the. slopes of the Bocabec Hills were dotted with the first cran- berry pickers. Debbie, working alone in the pasture, could see' the Dunoans llalf way up the hill. Beyond them young Tony Lufti and his mother Were busy on their kneeo. Still far- ther up the rocky slopes a group of boys and girls had found some heavily -laden vines and their shouts and laughter sounded clearly through the crisp air. The small red cranberries rattled swiftly . into ',Dibble's pail, She had been working for some 'time in the cranberry patch of the rocky pasture when she heard her name called from the fence and saw that Mrs. Duncan had come dew -t the hill. "It's, a good cranberry year, Deb- bie," she called. "Some years seem to be good for everything—herring and cranberries and hay." Debbie left her pail on the ground i and went over to the fence, "This has been a good year for us all," she agreed. "Has the White Head Weir been doing well, Mre. Duncan?" 'Ay, Debbie. Angus was saying only last week that if the herring stay inshore for a little longer it'll be an easier winter for us than we've had for many a year." "For all Harbor By Chance, too, I'm thinking," was Debbie's grave reply. "My father's well pleased with the Summer." "We're all glad of that, Debbie." The woman on the other side of the fence turned away, and Debbie re- turned to her cranberry patch. From time to time she heard the laughter of the children clearly across the sun- lit distance. She heard their shouts when one discovered, a new patch, and she saw them disappear around the shoulder of the hill. Wave on wave of sunlight and of shadow swept up from the asters, blue at the -river's edge, over the brown fields and thickets of goldenrod, to the masses of crimson maple on the Bocabec Hills. And on the rocky slopes the cranberry pickers knelt be- fore the glossy vines. The sunlit moments hurried by. A flock of crows flew across the sky with a loud cawing. A woodpecker drummed on a tree nearby. Steadily, the scarlet berries filled Debbie's pail. —Francs Gilmer, in "Thumbeap Weir." first symp- toms When a child shows the fir - Y uP toms of a cold, such es sneezing, red - nese of the eyes, clogged or running nose, prompt measures for relief may avert seribue results.

But to step back from a task such as this be- cause we find it difficult and think it may be expensive, on the ground that it is demanded by our duty to our- selves, would be an act of cowardice bringing upon us lasting shame.

'I'Ia cannot call people names. In Europe you aro lucky. You al- ways see Smuts at his great moments, In South Africa we only get the chance rarely, at times such as when he drove by car through the rebel-in- festedland, in the certainty that .en' of the people be passed would' have emptied a magazine into him with glee. lie• doer not know fear. We only see him at his greatest when he Is speaking in .a place that really inspires iniin, and we hear ora- tory resonant as Cicero's and graceful as Burke's; at the unveiling of a war memorial at the top of Table Moun- tain, at De 'Wt's funeral, at the re- dedication of Kruger's memorial in Pretoria. His thoughts then are gigantic, His words are like a wind in the Drakens- berg peaks. His mind is like a mel- low sun, embracing al a man's ac- tions and the end of all human effort. At De Wet's funeral, under the great needle of . the Concentration Camp Memorial, he spoke like a Roman at the bier of a brother fallen in civil strife, On the top of Table Mountain his words hung man's destiny in pictures before our eyes, from the time when he was a speak in the slime. And now I must make the bitter confession that to you in Europe, Smuts means more to us in South Africa. He is an intellectual. Shaw's Ring hlagnus might be Smuts when he tells his grocer -like Prime Minis- ter: "There are things in me which must not die," THE CALL OF THE WiLD Guns are bing examined, high boots oiled and all the other gear of the sportsman overhauled — the hunting season is under way. - Reports from the haunts- of the moose, the bear and the deer are like music in the hunter's ear.

(By a Young Boer) General San Christian Smuts, the greatest living Empire figure, has ar- rived in England and is delivering Rhodes Lectures at. Oxford. General Smuts is no longer a Pre- mier sunk in the sterility of opposl- tion, a tragic genius penned into a small holding. Here at least he will And that the people are at last begin- ning to follow the Empire banner which' he and a few• lute him have car- ried alone for so long. Here Smuts is a world figure, All Englishmen know him as the grave' Pleader at the Versailles Conference, who would have saved Europe much misery, if only Europe's owm states- men had not barred the way. But few know that, in his own country, this former enemy of England has suffer- ed more for the Empire than any Eng- lishman has done. When he returned from his tri- umphs in Europe he found acclama- tion at Capetown, it is true; but he also found gross cartoons in the Afri- kaans Press showing him as the "Handyman of the Empire," in khaki uniform, next to a baboon tied to a pole. A "Khaki Boer" This carried the bitter implication that he was a "khaki Boer"—of the renegade sort who helped Britain dur- ing the Boer war -tied to his Empire pole like a captive baboon. The vilest thing you can call a soldier is 'trait- or," traitor," and for years Smuts has had this epithet flung at him. Many in South Africa were, like myself, trained prac- tically from childhood to hate him. A politician could have countered with an even viler epithet, but I leave you to imagine what pain this must have caused to a great and sensitive character such as that of General Smuts. The rural tub -thumpers still talk of Smuts and the Rand revolt, ac- cusing him of causing bloodshed among his people—of shooting his own blood flat, as the idiom runs. It is a tragedy common among the Boers, inevitable. In a race in which the hot blood of the French runs be- neath the phlegm .of the Netherland- er. The Boers were divided even on th Great Trelr. It ice a greater tragedy still that Salute should have had to apply his epic qualities to humble but necessary things such as trade treaty disputes and the bilingualism -of railway port- ers. Kruger was the same. He had a brain like Solomon, and would have towered over most of the statesmen of the past century if he had been orn in Enurope. Lonely in the first place with the terrible loneliness of the inteleotual, Smuts was further estranged from popular sympathy because the scene of his triumphs lay in a land which Yew Of hie own people had seen and • which most of them knew only as a •'' former enemy. He was nicknamed "Slim Jennie" (Sly Jock) for the same reason that made the. average Ber- liner look upon the great Stresemann • as a traffic light, facing all ways at once. Before these vicious attacks Smuts was puzzled, hurt, but never resent fal, That it caused him deep pain "leas obvious, for the Iove of the Boer for his people is a far more intimate thing than European nationalism. He had to stand by and see his enemies forge their way to popular heroism by a path that he cooler only too easily have adopted himself.
