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- ters in this-epuntry. Admen have no monopoly on frivolity. In that direction, at least, than leads.. Many men who are scrupulous about the character of the reading matter in the newspaper they bring. home for family'eonsumption are in the habit of paying teo little rotten- tion to "the' nitil aa;c r o! tl a ver - tieing in that paper. Yet the ads vertising is reading matter, and especially family readiulg matter. Hours after the husband has dis- carded the paper the wife picks it np and reads the advertisements in it. It is essential, therefore, that tile: advertising that gets into the home be as clean as the reading re -atter. Batley l)isbes.

Dried fruits, such as raisins, figs, etc., may be out up and cooked in the thinned water, which thickens up again while these arebeing cooked in it. A little su- gar or some lemon juice or, better, lemon syrup, added to these finally will give the needed acidity and,. heap to blend all the flavors.

Beat the egg, add the barley and stir well, and then the flour and baking pow- der, making a rather thick batter. If the porridge left from the thick barley water—one-half clip of bar- ley cooked in two quarts of water --is used, no additional liquid will be needed, Milk is likely to make the muffins sodden. Bake from twenty-five to thirty minutes. Well made, these are good enough to give anyone an ,asepettite. Scott Broth.—A chef in a fam- ous old English hotel, who had cur- ried mutton and Scotch broth on his menu at the same time, gave •the following recipe for the latter `Take the liquor any mutton has been boiled in and remove the fat when cold. Wash a cup of pearl barley and put it on to boil. When done sada to the liquor; also a tur- nip, parrot, onion, and a little cel- ery. ;Boil until the vegetables are tender and serve.' This was thin with only a few kernels of barley to be seen. Grated raw carrot en the top made it good looking and improved the flatter.

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. Was B. C. Premier. {,9,iellr, 9,1,,. Asettewarcateoull 31 t, T?3,H.. NQ �� E. W.

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 like to come to terms. Farmer— 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 Which "Fighting Joe" .mixed mer- rily, dismissed Premier Semlin, and called on Mr. Martin, who had been Attorney -General, to form a {Oabinet. The situation did not 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- riedly .got together aCabinet, but in the ensuing election he was giv- en a tremendou-s trouncing, win- ning only nine seats. After that the "stormy petrel" bobbed up in England.
