HEALTH /
WHOLESOME SKEPTICISM.
The veil of mystery that used to
nvelep the science and practiceof
medicine has been torn away. Medi-
cal' topics are freely discussed in
newspapers and magazines, and in-
deed xnany of the great metropoli-
tan papers ` have medical editors
who write •edito•rial articles, on hy-
giene and the prevention and cure
of disease. The daily newspapers
announce any important .discovery
in medicine often before it can. .be
published in the medical journals.
On the whole, physicians approve
this publicity, for a patient who is
intelligent and who understands the
,Mason for a prescribed treatment
s likely to follow instructions care-
fully and faithfully.
At first, however,this
: sort of
publicity did ,reach harm. When-
ever, for example, a "cure" for
\tuberculosis es cancer was an-
nounced in the papers, 'false hopes
were roused, and not only the .au-
thor .of the "cure" butphysiciansin
neral were importuned to use the
}reedy at once before it was too
e. Even now a cruel disappoint-
nt is often the result of these
emature announcements, for
any people are prone, in spite of
uch experience to the contrary, to
elievee that whatever they see in
print must be true.
• But people are coming to recog-
izze that just as one swallow does
of make a summer, so one appar-
nt cure of cancer does not prove
at a specific remedy has been
ound. Cancer is the strangest of
iseases. A cancer often grows and
rows again, in spite of operations
the most skilful surgeons; yet,
is the other hand, it sometimes
ases to grow as the result apear-
tly of the simplest forth of treat -
cut, and it may even disappear of
iself. Hence there, are many re -
ted "cures" of the disease.
Tiemost recent of these so-called
ntedies is selenium, -which is a
emical element belonging to the
phur group that experimenters
Germany are said to have used

DAINTY' DISHES.
Pepper Pot.—Two pounds tripe,
four calves' feet, one red. pepper.
Cover with cold water, bring slowly
to boil; and cook until the meat is
tender. Take out the meat and
skim the liquor. Out the tripe into.
small bits and return it., to the li-
quor, adding boiling water if need-
ed. Stir in one-half teaspoonful
each of 'sweet marjoram, basil, and
thyme, two s•lie d onions, two sliced
potatoes, and; salt to taste. When
the vegetables are almost done add
a lump •of• .butter rolled in flour,
drop in some egg balls, boil for fif-
teen minutes more, and 'serve..
Cheese Cakes, --Press all liquid
from one and •one-half eups of 'cot-
tege cheese, and beat it light with
two tablespoonfuls of cream
and
dthree egs'whipped hard. Sweeten
with one-half scup sugar
and flavor
with the juice and rind, of a lemon,.
Beat ,smooth acid put into a pie
plate lined with puff paste. Bake
in a`good oven until set and .li lightly g y
Potatoes au Gratin, ;Parboil po-
tatoes and peel them. Slice cross-
wise and arrange in layers in a
bake dish, sprinkling each layer
with salt, pepper, and bits of but-
ter. When the dish is full pour in
a small teacup of hot milk in which
a teaspoonful of butter has been
melted, sprinkle the top layer of
potatoes thickly with grated cheese,
and sift fine buttered crumbs over
this. Bake, covered, until heated
all through, then uncover and
brown.
Graham Gems.—One cupful of
granulated sugar; half a teaspoon-
ful of cinnamon and the same of
ground nutmeg; one tablespoonful
of lard and the same of butter ; one
cupful of sour milk or buttermilk,
in which dissolve half a teaspoonful
of soda; one and three-quarter cup-
fuls of graham flour; one-quarter of
a cupful of wheat flour ; two tea-
spoonfuI•s of baking , powder ; one
egg. Mix the spices with the sugar;
cream butter, lard and sugar to-
gether, add the egg, then the milk;
next, the flour, into which the bak-
ing powder has been sifted twice.
This should make a rather stiff bat-
ter. Bake in gem pans. Top each
with a raisin, or two. This will make
a dozen gems.
Bavarian Cream,—Auar
. u t of
sweet cream
yolks of four eggs,
half ounce of gelatin, one small eup
of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of flavor-
ing extract. Soak the gelatin in
just enough water to cover it for
one hour. Drain carefully in a col-
ander or strainer and stir it into
a pint of the cream, madee boiling
hot. Beat the yolks smooth and
light with the sugar, and beat into
this the boiling mixture a little et
a time. Heat again until it begins
to thicken. but not until it actually
boils. Remove from the fire, and
while it is still hot stir in the other
pint of cream, which has been whip-
ped
in a syllabub churn to a stiff
froth. Beat this "whip," a spoon-
ful at a time, into the custard until
ifis of the consistency of sponge
cake batter. Dip a mould into cold
water to wet the inside, pour in the
mixture and set it in the ice to
form. When you .serve it dip the
mould into hot water for. a second
to loosen the cream. but not until
it melts in the least; reverse upon
a chilled glass dish and serve with
whipped cream about the base, It
is a delicious summer Sunday des.
*ert. Eat with angel cake-
Salmi of Calf's Liver, --•Boil a
calf's Pavex in slightly salted water
and let it get cold. Then cut into
dice of suitable size (about an inch
in length and nearly as wide), and
for •stash cupful allow a tablespoon-
ful of butter, a cupful of stock, a
teaspoonful of tomato' settee, and
two tablespoonfulfi of chopped'
olives. Brown the butter, stir into
its .a tablespo•onftil of butter, and
stir over the fire until it thickens:
add gradually the stock and cook,
stirring continually until it is
smooth • and -properly thickened.
Now put in the catsup, olives, and
liver dice and simmer for fifteen
minutes. A glass of brown sherry
is an improvement and makes a
really elegant dish out of homely
ingredients. This salmi may be
used as the principal element in the
family dinner if one begins de novo,
as here directed, with the whole
raw liver. In making it from the.
leftover •portion of "c, breaded and
baked liver one omits, of course,
the bailing mentioned in the first
line of the recipe, The cooked- liver
is ent into dice and not added to
the :rest of the ingredients until it
goes in with the catsup and olives
at the last.

FLEMING'S .ABILITY.
There has always been an impression
that Sir William Mackenzie chose Fiom-
ing because of his "City hall influence,"
but this is doing the manager an injus-
tice. Doubtless the real reason of the
choice was that Mr. Fleming is a man of
great executive capacity. such as the

Mr. Fleming has had reverses; he in-

The market for municipal bonds

months. Prices have declined and
amount of business has slackened,
because of the fact that, the London mar-
ket is not in a receptive mood. The rea-
sons far London's present attitude are
several First, of course, comes the un.
easiness in tine political setuation : then
the same feeling respecting the foreign
situation. The tremendous amount of is-
sues of recent years has, too, caused a

that has offered for a• long time past, and

process of assimilation proceeds.
In Canada there is no great slackening
in the demands for municipals, although
there are, of course, quiet spells. The
Qttie :nosy in England has resulted in a
.lowering of prices in many cases, and
consequently there are many municipal
bonds: on the market at present selling ;
considerably below the prime of even a •

London market remains quiet fora long
period
those prices may h
s ado a bit fur-
ther. happily however, tho probability
of a long period of quiet in England is
not likely, and as a natural corollar<-
Prices are not likely to depress further.
Probably after a period of Quietness the
prices will login to move upward, for there
is observable at present a tendency for
money to cheapen, and with Cheaper

If. however, he is a speculator he can
bur shares, and stand a fair chance of
making a profit if he uses discretion and
does not buy on margin. At the present
time, though, I do not think shares a wise

high, and `pretty high" means a good
chance for a fall.
If he is really desperate, and wants to
make a "pile" or lose all, he has always
recourse to the mining market. There his

the World Over.
There was a time when that use-
ul protective covering for indus-
rious fingers, the thimble—which
ates from 1684—was very costly.
nde
eel, only well-to-do women
