A writer surveying this world-

,.of dile predietiens. Our civilization
-he says, is becoming worna,niele hys-
terical. We are becoming frivolous.
There is .no room for the serious.
things in our sollieme of existence,
The writer is both right.and wrong
He' is right in deerying- the frivoli-
ties of our civilization, bur lack of
interest in serioue things. but he
is wrong in aceribing this volatile
state -of sopiety both in this; country
and in other countries to the rise
of feminine influence. If anything
the new woman upholds rather than
destroys' the atmosphere of serious-,
nets.
The women of -Japan, Russia, and
all other countries where feminine
unreel is no -w seething are no doubt
'se earliest if i et' yet as fully.equip-
ped for their new role: as their sis-

the habit of paying teo little rotten-

thick jelly-like liquid, 'which may
also be iised in various ways. It

raisins, figs, etc., may be out up

which thickens up again while these

will give the needed acidity and,.

cups of barley porridge, one cup of
flour, into sghioh has been sifted
three even teaspoons of baking
powder, and a little barley water

Hon. Joseph. Martin.
he was out of his teens he was a
telegraph ope gator in the United
States. Then came the panic of
1873, and he returned , to Canada
to become successively a school
teacher, a lawyer, and a profes-
sional politician. Wherever he was
and whatever he was at he exhibit-
eit '"re= utionare tendencies.. "He
might bee, good leader in time of
war, but noon time of peace ; and
a mighty poor follower at any
time," eo he once was summed up.
"Fighting Joe" started out not
as an -ordinary Liberal, but as an
extraordinary Radical. He was up
in Portage la Prairie, Man., and
made a stand for Provincial Rights
thus winning a seat in the Mani-
toba Legislature in 1882. He stay-
ed in that House ten years. While
there he roused the whole country
by stating that "Mr. Speaker was
the most unscrupulous partisan he
had ever met." The Legislature
refused to proceed with business
until he apologized. "Joe" stayed
away for several days until his ac-
tion became a widespread sensa-
tion. Then he turned up, and made
an apology. which he closed by ad-
ding, "But it's true just the
same." That was in Opposition.
When the Liberals came into power
Martin. became Attorney -General
in Thomas Greenway's Cabinet.
Among other remarkable demon-
strations of his individuality he an-
nounced that the French language
would be abolished in the Separ-
ate Schools. This, it is said, was
the commencement of the Manito-
ba school question.

House of Commons for East ;St.
Pancras, London, in 1910, and has
since held that seat, where, they
say, they "can't get anyone too
Radical for them." In Britain Mr.
Martin has been as lively a "kick-
er" as ever. He has made things
:uncomfortable for Premier As-
quith on various occasions and has
especially delighted in "roasting"
Hon. Winston Churchill. He has
hotly complained in the House of
being left off the Liberal party's
Whip's list and being ignored
sometimes by the Speaker. fie has
while in England found time to
give advice and pass judgment on
the various Canadian leaders from
time to time. He scolded Sir Wil-
frid Laurier, . gave hints to Mr.
Borden, -and when Mr. Rowell be -
same Ontario Liberal leader, Mr.
Martin wrote him a lengthy letter
of warning and counsel..
Mr. Martin has not told us just
where he is going to settle, but if
he returns to Canada he will be
heard from as easily one place as
another.
Possible Boarder—I enjoyed my
dinner very muoh, and if it was a
fair sample of your meals I would

First of all, mister, was that a fair
sample of your appetite?
Mr. Martin was next heard of in
the Dominion House as member for
Winnipeg. He sat there from 1893
until 1896, when his faculty for
disagreeing with other people and
standing rigidly for his principles
led to his defeat.
Then he went farther West, and
of course soon became a political
factor in British Columbia. There,
in spite of the dislike of the vested
interests and the regular politi-
cians and enemies who took a pot
shot at him whenever possible, Mr.
Martin became Premier of the Pro-
vince. Lieutenant -Governor Mc-
Innes, in a period of turmoil in

please the members, who with
Western impulsiveness filed out of
the House through one door as
the Governor carne in the other, to
prorogue the House. Martin hur-

in the ensuing election he was giv-

It is most unpleasant when teetl

in warm water, the gums "harder
and the teeth .become firm again.
Finely -powdered charcoal, espe
cially that of the ,areca-nut, is en
prenie for making the teeth a
gleaming white, and keeping tie
mouth sweet. The charcoal, too
renders innocuous any decayin

vices.
Teeth which from any rause.,-
smoking, neglect, medicine, otc.
are in avery bad, black state
should be cleaned with powderer:
cuttlefish, obtainable at a chemist's
This should be used three time
daily until the teeth are clean, ant
then no more. After that any goat

Few know that sage leaves at

leaf can be rubbed on, or ehoppe
very fine and used with a brush
The effect is astonishing.
A little lemon -juice is anothe
good tooth tonic, though it needs t
be used but occasionally.
In default of tooth -powder, cont
mon salt mixed with fine soot — o

The soot makes the teeth wonder
