Many persons honestly Ebelieve that "tei doestaste better ftom a china cup than from one of plain delf." If,: then, the taste of a person in health is so easily influenced, how much nthre sensitive is that of the poor invalid, whoge appetite is to be tempted,perhaps created! Let us see what can be dope to meet the peculiar wishes or -"whims" of our patient. Do not !consult with the sick one about whit you are going to preparermin way of foo4 or drink, but .iin t n as a pleasant surprise, in small, tempting quantities to allure, not in great amounts to repel. Serve with exquisite neatness—this need not be said-; but if you have one salver more valuable or handsome 1 than another, bring that out. Spread , upon it your daintiest bit of napery, and use the very choicest of all your pretty china cups. By the apparently ind fferent invalid j i3, est gratitude. these little attentions and efforts to gratify are often remean ered, later on, with feelings of kind Never employa playsiciah in whose skill you have not entire confidence; but, having given your sick mac into Ms care, follow implicitly his directions, and give no food or drink whatever without his knowledge and a.pproval. The medici- nal properties of herb drinks might counteract the remedies he prescribes. . What shall we make for our invalid ? -with what encourage returning healtit in the convalescent ? Doles nature crave an acid? To the very weak give a little currant jelly dissolved in water; and when soineWhat stronger, milk lemonade will be found invigorating and refresh- ing. Make it by pouring one pint of boiling water on two are spoonfuls of sugar and the juice of two lemons. Add four spoonfuls of sherry wine, beat well, then add gradually one and a -half cups of cold milk, stirring constantly. Set upon ice awhile, and serve cold. The atomach that could not relish or retain this might receive- beef -tea with benefit. Out up one pound of leant beef in small pieces, add a pinch of salt, and pour over it one pint of cold 'water.. Cover closely, simmer for three hours, and strain'. To boil beef-tealat all injures bath the flavor and tie nourishing qualities. All herb drinks should be made by pouring boiling water Upon the dry herbs. Sugar and sliced lemon can be added tonnit the taste. [Wheat, Gra- ham, and Indian gruels can all be made very palatable. Blend a 'large spoonful of the flour in a little cold water, and pour into nearly a quart of boffins, water. Add a little salt, and sugar if desired. Cook slowly at least an hour, to avoid the raw taste 'of the meal. Wine whey is made by stirring one cup of white wine into one pint of boiling milk. Strain when cold. 1 °mat coffee and toast water are made by pouring boiling water on bread toast- ed very brown. The former should boil, the latter should not. Coffee should be served hot, with sugar and cream; toast water served cold, and iced' if allowed. *ton crackers.; split,1 toasted, dip- ped -an instant in boiling s4ater,and then covered with cream, wita a pinch of salt, make a tempting bit for a fasti- dious appetite, 'while panada is another form of the same harrnles4 ingredients. This is made by pouring- boiling milk over the broken crackers. Add a pinch of salt, sweeten and flavor with nutmeg, and, after standing five m'nutes cover- ed, it is ready to serve. The various creams are very nutritions, and much relished by invalids. Dissolve one- qdarter of a package of CoOper's gelatine, in one pint of boiling milk. Stir till dissolved, and then add one half-pint of cream. Sweeten and flavor with vanilla. Let it cool, stirring occasionally, then pour into moulds. Or, take the white of one egg, beaten to a froth, add one spoonful of powdered sugar, one each of currant and raspberry jelly, all to be beaten together tilt a stiff froth. Serve cold. Sherry cream is strengthening and appetizing. Beat two eggs into a pint. of ere am . When slowly simmering over the fire, gradually add four spoon- fuls af sherry wine, stirring constantly, that it may not curdle. When cold,- sweeten and flavor with leMon or nut- meg. Orange cream is a change, a relish sorriethnes when nothing else seems to satisfy the callings' of a disturbed and unnatural taste. Grate three—oranges into two cups of cold water, and beat up with two eggs. Sweeten, strain, simmer slowly tid it thickens, and cool in glasses. Stewed prunes are sometimes agree- able to the dainty palate of the sick one. Medical authority considers them almost a specific in fevers and inflamma- tory disorders, especially those of the stomach. Buy the box prunes, the best quality. Put over the fire in cold water cover closely,cook slowly till soft,adding more water as it cooks away. Serve very cold. Mutton and chicken broths are made by putting the meat intocold water enough to cover, with a little salt to draw the juices, cooking long and slow- ly, ,closely covered. Every particle of fat should be removed after the broth has become cold before it is offered. the invalid. Baked apples will _sometimes be fancied; at other times calfs foot or wine jelly will suit the taste_ Fruits, eggs in various farms, tender chops, and delicate bits of Steak should , be -allowed, as in fact all these delicacies given above, by the order of the family physician. Oue condiment with which to serve the . tempting Morsels isi absolutely necessary, and that is, a eheerful face and encouraging manner. Nothing so irradiates the sick -roam and leads the invalid to look forward hop fully to new strength, fresh life, and, happy days to come. Patience brings its wn reward, and good -nature sheds itI3 sunshine all around. GRATEFUL—COMFORTING. ' ••• , hippss, 00c0A.

The annual meeting of the North American Life Assurance Companyl washeld in the company's offices on Tuesday, the 25th inst., the President Hon. Alex. Mackenzte, It; the chair. The following is the annual report: 'I ' - , , , • ! , , T e directorsin Pubmitting their annual reporthave to express thwith eir entire satisfaction , the an ount and character of the business done. Dttring the year 1,355 applications for 82,722,450 were received, upon which were jailed 1,259 policies for 82,520,950, the rest being unacceptable, and 7 policies for 81.6)250, which had lapsed for nonspayment of premitim, were -revived. This is a volume of new business amounting to nearly $600,000 over that of any former year, and sixty percent. in excess of that done by any Canadian company in the same period in its ,history. - .! ! , The accompanying revenhe account and balance sheet show that the assets have been increased nearly 25 per cent., and the investments in first mortgage securities havd been inore than doubled. The progressive prosperity of the coMpany!will be best seen by comparison with the largest Canadian companies. For example, the Cash premium receipts for its 6th year exceed those of the Confederation, at the end of its 8th year ;.of the Sun, at the end of its 'tenth year; of the Ontario, at the end of its 13th year; and of the Canada Life, at the end of its 2 nd year as shown by the published official reports. The company's records are kept in stich a complete and systematic manner that its balance sheet was finished a few bouts after the close 011 usiness on the last -day of the year, and a full report of the business of the,year ended on that day was mailed to the 'Govern- ment on New Year's day. , I . . I . The last official report of the Superintendent of Insurance Shows hat this was the only life compahy whose . report was received by the Department in Jamnary ; hat those of 10 companies were not received !until February ; of 22, not until March; and df 7, no until April, thereby pre- venting the issue of the Supenntendent's report until long after the p orogation of Parliament. For several years the full report of this company has been received by t c Department in the tint week in January, ! . — I The Superintendent .of Insurance points out in his last report th t the amount of business effecte by our home companies in 1885, as compared with that done in 1 75 had risen from$5,077,• 601 to 14,881,695, and the business in force had increased in the Canadi, n companies during that period rom 821,957,296 to .$74,591,139, while the corresponding inm.ease i the Atnerican companies had b en less than six millions, making a difference in favor'. of Our It me companies of nearly forty -s ven millions. This very gratifying fact is evidence of the rapid n tional development of the Domin on, showing that we are strong enough to support great comme cial enterpris‘s, and that -our ho e companies are more than holding their own against their forei it competitors. ' . The same report of the Buperintendent shows that the foreig i Life companies alone received in preMiums from Canadian policy -holders during the same period of e even years nearly thirty-. two mi lions of dollen, a great part of which was, thetefore withdrawn fr m the available capitn4 of the cojintry, and -wont abroad, thereby aiding the advancement of commercial competitors.By dealin with our home companies such money would have been utlized i building -up and extend- ing Oaijadian interests. - . , f • Th4 report also shows that the United States companies have Only de °sited with the Govern- ment alsmall portionof the reserve on their policies in -force here, While t ie securities deposited are almost 'wholly foreign stocks. 1 , Tinentire reserves and resources of Canadian Life compani s are nvested in Canada. The advantage and convenience to policy -holders arelarr'"ely in favor of doing business with well inanag ed borne companies. .-• '1 The seriviees of the company's staff of officers, inspectors and ager ts again deserve special comme a ion. .

I I wot Id desire to call attention just now to a! few facts contai led in !the report. It • would ' appear that:during the period o11 years nearly thirty-two million dollars h we been paid for pre - l miums to foreign life companies by Canadian insurers. The gain that would. have resulted by the retention of that large amount c f money in our own Dominion and its imp kation in the .way of assisting the veriotne industriis throughout the 'country is at once apparent. These fig-ures are very suggestive, and I think ought to impress themselves upon the thoughts of those contemplating hee insur nee. The comparative longevity of lives in Canada as coni ared with other countries is one that t as atqacted my attention. I was for tenyeaes consulting clireotor of one of the largest British cpuipanass doing extensive Internees in the Dominion, am 1 was impressed with the feet that accoeffing to the Carldse Life Table used by that company the in rtality experienced in Canada was alwisYs very much 1.ess than provided for by that table.

C. L. Pewit, jeweller, Seaforth. Dear Sir: The Columbus movement I purchased from you some time ago, ina Boss tilled case, is as reprea sented„ and bI don't think there is any watch made in the world that will keep better tirne, as mine has never varied since 1 purchased it, and I would tell everybody to get a Columbus move- ment when wanting_ s good watch. Yours traly, KE JOHN PARR, Windsor, Ont. C. L. Papst, Jeweller: When you said take the Columbus watch if you want a timekeeper, a little indifferent, but I must say my opm. was agreeably changed, as I can find no oetter watch as a timekeeper than the Colume bus ; so say Is take the Columbus movement every time.

Waterloo, Feb. 3rd, 1887. 1 got this watch so wondirons !cheap That I could scarce believe it good, But science with its searchings deep, Has done what custom never could, And I have proved the truth of this That highest value must attach To that which never goes amiss, The American "Columbus" watch. Its neatness is as unsurpassed As its good qualities are proved, 'Tis az•eurate and nia.de to last, A watch by punctual men approved. An able judge would pick them ont Of every maker's in a batch, And none who tries will ever doubt Papst's great " Columbus " watch, • The makers to the public sell Their watches atthe lOWCSt price, And all they do they do it well, Without one trait of false device. They don't incur a dime of debt, They have no doubtful schemes to hatch, And never has 'Ueen equalled yet, The AmericAn " Columbus" watoh. I do admire the highest art, And.love in all things excellence, For beauty seems the dearest part, And worth the most approved by sense; Beauty andworth combined have they, And if you would have both to match Decide without delay to buy Papst'e great " Columbus" watches.
