When the flour is the con- sistency of cornmeal add enough sweet milk to make a dough soft enough to lift on a floured board, and form into two layers to fit a biscuit -tin greased with drippings. There layers should be half an inch thick. Pat the lower one to fit the tin, having the center much lower than the sides, as the tendency of dough is to rise higher in the cen- ter. Spread well with softened but- ter ; then pat the other layer on it. Bake twenty minutes in a quick oven; then split and bake the dough side five minutes to prevent its be- ing underdone. The crust thus formed on both cakes will prevent soaking when the fruit is put in.

Writing from a busy railroad town the wife of an employe of one of the great roads says: "My husband is a railroad mane who has been so much benefited by the use of Postum that he wishes me to express his thanks to you for the good it has done him, His waking hours are taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself. "He has been a great tea drinker all his life and has always liked it strong. "Tea has, of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon, carefully chosen, are safe as regards principal, the same cannot be said with- out qualification with respect to village and town property. The great danger of investing in `mortgages on property situ- ated in a town is that there is, as a rule, no very pressing -demand for land of this class. For example, if it became neoes- 'Villages' and Towns Often Stagnant — Small or No Demand for Property in Case of Foreclosure—A Recent Example --Guaranteed Mortgages.

The writer of these articles and the publisher of this paper have no interests to servo in connection with this matter other than those of the reader.

The result to an investor would be, of course, that there would be a very good chance that the property on which he`held-a mortgage would be one of the Mani, that one may see in almost any Ontario village, that has lain vacant for years. The very fact that the loan and mortgage companies will not accept as security mortgages based on such pro- gerty is a conclusive proof that there him, some four months ago, toilts tea and use Postum. "At first ho used Postum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste df it, and it somehow seemed to do him good, he added it to his evening meal. Then, as he grew better, he began to' drink it for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothing else at table. "His condition is so wonderfully improved that he could not be hired to give up Postum and go back to tea.

Re tried to sell the mort- gage. lie was informed by one company that they might buy it if the rate were right. ' This they placed at no less than ten per cent. The rate watt made ten, as suggested, but even then the manager t.f the company would not touch it—nor would anyone else. Then the insurance rate was also ten per cent., and, as the seeurity, without the insurance, was very "insecure," this ten per oent. was prac- tically a first charge on the income of the unfortunate mortgagee. And this, mind you, in a growing town. The mort- gage was only for a short term and will be payable in a few months; but the chances that it will bo paid off are very, very slight. And here comes in the per- sonal element. The two parties to the mortgage are friends. The holder of the mortgage would be most unlikely, under any circumstances, to foreclose, and even if this were done, there would be no ready market for the place. Altogether, it is a very nasty situation, and one that an investor would do well to avoid. When one turns to city property there is a very different consideration to be born in mind. In the first place, the cities of this province have been growing of a great rate during the past decade. And as a natural result of this growth the values of laud of various classes has also increased. This leaves a very substantial equity behind the security on which the mort- gage is based, and so the investor in such mortgages has not stood to lose anything during the past few years. The increas- ing 'populations have also resulted not only in a steady demand for dwellings, but also as a result of the increasing number of people in the necessity for more shops, and, consequently, a demand for property in the shopping districts. The result of this is, of course, that any property secured under a foreclosed • mortgage sestet he readily sold. Therefore, as mortgages go, those based on well located property in a growing city aro -perfectly safe. They do not, as a rule, bear as high a rate of interest as farm mortgages, but there is a greater certainty that the interest will be paid. A very great drawback to the average man who desires thin form of mortgage quickly stops coughs, cures colds. heats the throat and lungs • • . 35 cents. is that those on really desirable property are usually require so great an amount of money that it is quite out of the ques- tion for him to invest therein. As a re- sult, they usually fall to the lot of, finan- cial and Mortgage institutions, and only the less desirable are open to the small investor. Nor should it be forgotten that there is as much necessity for a careful valuation and scrupulous attention to insurance, titles, Etc., in city, as there is in the case' of farm mortgages. Before leaving tho subject of mortgages, the "guaranteed mortgage" should, 'of course, be mentioned; although it has not Yet reached hero the same popularity as in the States. This mortgage is ono of the usual kind issued in the ordinary manner, but bearing on its face, in some form, the guarantee of a company that the interest and principal would be paid in full wheel due. There are many td- vikntages in 'this form of mortgage. Iu the first place, it obviates the usual wor- ries over the small, but important, de- tails e• t ils f insurance valuation collection IS O A WEAK R THAN MAN WHAT MODERN SCIENCE JUS TO SAY ON TJIE 811.110 IR CT.. `1'he Terni "The Weaker S Sitotthi Be Appltcd. to Man Not to Woman, Till very recently it was univer- sally held that woman, whatever her mental qualifications to be con sidered the equal of man, must be content to put up with the second place physically. Darwin regarded woman a$ being who had finished her tvolu- tion, or development, ager ago, while man keeps on developing" still. Herbert Spencer regarded woman as a variety .of man whose evelu tion has been badly neglected. But there is now rising a schoo of biologists who are of opinio that in many ways the term . "th weaker sex." should be applied t man, and not to woman. They draw attention, to all sort of curious facts. Physical mon strositie•s such as hare -lip, ole palate, extra toes, etc.; occur 1 women only one-third as often a in men. The presence of an eight rib (a distinct trace of the ape) i twice as frequent among men a among women. HER, SENSE OF COLOR. On the other hand, woman's sons of color is far more delicate th man's, and the higher the type o humanity the keener the colo sense is. Some savages can :die tinguish only four or five colors Among civilised rases calor -blind ness is very ram among women while .among men it is common. One of the most :striking proof brought forward to eupport th newer belief is the hitherto puzzl ing fact that where .rood is scare more boy -children are burn, an where food is plentiful, more girls. When a tribe or nation has been a 'war, for the next few years man more boys are born than girls. Thi has hitherto been looked on as mysterious plan of Nature to re place the lost fighting -men; bu modern science accounts for it b the scarcity of food that a war o an epidemic usually brings. It to be noticed that in wealth families girls are more uumerou than boys, while, in bleak countr districts, where conditions ar hard, boys are in the majority, and the presnmably higher and sounder sex in the minority, y Hospital statistics slaw a re- markable similarity between wo- men and children's diseases --.far closer than between men's and children's. On the other hand,, there are many dieeasYes common among men which hardly ever trou- ble women and children. Sciatica. and hay fever are examples. TOWARDS THE FEMININE. As man rises in evolution his ad- vance is towards the feminine. It is pointed out that the man of our modern city civilisation resembles a woman in appearance much mare than he does the uncivilised man. He is small -boned and delicate of feature.' Even in e;tature he is growing more feminine. Women are the stronger and sounder sex constitutionally. Hos- pital statistics show that they have a far greater power of resistance to all diseases than sten have,, especially rheumatic diseases,; haemorrhages, and eaecer. They bear amputation better than men do. Every dentist knows woman's. curious insensibility to pain. Wo- men bear loss of sleep better. Nurses have often been known to go forty-eight hours without sleep and remain pink and fresh; while even the healthiest and most ex- perienced of male nu.rscss turns hag- gard and exhausted under such circumstances. Women keep their eyesight long- er, and live longer, as insurance tables show. As dancers and s. a o r of interest, oto. On the other baud, for acrobats they are ucater and more niched than men..their trouble and the guarantee, the corn- pany charges a certain part of the in- terest, usually about a quarter. As a result, therefore, the mortgage returns you scarcely more than the average in- dustrial bond without, however, its dis• tiuet advantage in being readily saleable. ►I+ Cornmeal Mullins.—Sift together one cupful of cornmeal, one-half tablespoo�nf*ll 2 ,;rug .rq,. one cupful of bread flotiif tst•s . ttg"poonfuls of baking powdele tare !teaspoonful of salt.
