Sills & Sons D S UM% rat' ItimuoNB ix Gats • A stirring romauce of sunken tree, sure ds related by C. P.»'Lambert, the famous I.3nglish diver. When the steamship Oceana sailed from London for Bombay she had on heard nearly $4,000,000 in gold des- tined for the Indian mint. While going down the English Channel, the treasure ship collided with a German sailing vessel and sank off East- bourne. Amongst the salvage party sent to the scene was Mr. Lambert and his stuff of exlport divers. awing to the state of the weather it was found impossible to send down divers until a period of .three weeks had elapsed. Finally Mr. Lambert was able to slip overboard and ' reconnoitre. As he relates the story: My first task was to secure the keys of the bullion -room, which were in the captain's cabin. There was a very heavy swell, which was cer- tainly a very great handicap, and 1 found it a most difficult job to make my way to the cabin. Three times I succeeded in reaching the door, and three times 1 was washed away again. The at the fourth attempt 1 succeeded and got inside the room. A search through the drawers re- vealed the keys. But 1 could not make my way there and then to the bullion, as the longest 1 could work below at a .time was about an hour, owing to the strong tideway. At the next attempt 1 set out for the bullion -room. After breaking down through the different decks, I at last found myself facing a mas- sive -looking door, which I knew to be the entrance to the stronghold where lay the gold -boxes. Lt was not a very difficult matter to make my entrance to the bullion - room, which I soon had opened out reedy for the tasty of removing the contents. I soon discovered I was indeed among the gold, for wherever I look- ed I saw tiers upon tiers of loxes, which 1 felt sure must contain the treasure for which I was searching. But 1 could not be too sure, so I de- cided to have one of the boxes taken to the surface immediately so that its contents could be examined. ]laving been under water for such a long time, the boxes were swollen considerably, and they were all tightly wedged together. 1 knew it would be a }lit of a job getting even one away. Tackling first of all a key box— that is one which is holding the others in place --I struggled and struggled until it showed signs of coming away. By this time the flood -tide having "made" the strain "n my pipe and line was terrific, and I received several signals from my attendant to c•nme to the surface. But I 'wanted to bring this box up. 1 struggled with it until I had got it out, and then, with infinite eaution, 1 pr' eeedr',l to make my way back. At Inst 1 was hauled up on Bleck. Then I collapsed.

CASTOR I A For Infante and Children Its Bled You Naas Always Bit Beare the Signal:ma SELECT THE BEST PEACHES FOR CANNING' Shall we can, preserve or pickle peaches this year? The answer de- pends upon the taste of your family. Try all three. Select the perfect fruit for the canning, the next grade for pickled or spiced peaches, and tjie very ripe or imperfect ones for jams or marmalade. - The easiest way to peel peaches is first to blanch and cold -dip them. Do this by plunging six or eight of them at a time into boiling water for three or four minutes or until the skins loosen. Raise front the ;boiling water and lower into cold water for two minute;, If the peaches are to be halved that is the next step. Then, Starting at the stem end with asharp knife, slip the skins off. The Syrup—The texture, color and flavor of the finished product of can- ning are influenced by the thickness of the syrup used; for peaches use either fourteen ounces of sugar to each quart of water, or if you wish the heavy syrup _ase one pound six ounces of sugar to the quart of water. Both have been worked out to give excellent results. Boil the sugar and water together until the sugar is all dissolved. Strain out all impunities. Order of Work.—Blanch, remove skins, colo dip, pack ipto hot steril- ized jars (use a spoon for this and avoir( crushing the fruit), pour hot syrup over fruit until jars are over- flowing; adjust sterilized rubbers and tops. If tops are glass adjust wire on top, but do not clamp down Wire bail unttil later. If taps are metal screw on half way. Cover with boiling water and (process for sixteen minutes after boiling recommences. Remove from water, tighten the tops, leave inverted (to teat leakage) over night, label and store in the dark. Pickling.—To five pounds of fruit use two and a halfpounds of granu- lated sugar, one cupful of water, two teaspoonsful • of allspice, -two tea- spoonsful of cloves, one teaspoonful of mace and one pint of vinegar. Make a syrup of the sugar and water, drop in the spices tied . in cheesecloth; cook this for thirty min- utes, then drop in the peeled peaches and strainer until tender (about two IIIIIT IC 11F➢ I NdIICINI Every - 'tR[ In Canada Needs ioFR -A IiVESfl To those R;utasring with Indigestion, Torpid Liver, Constipation, Sick or NeromesIfea.daches, Neuralgia, Kid- ney Trouble.

Sante prefer to leave out the mace and add cinnamon. In that case put in three or four inches of stick cinnamon. Or many prefer to .press the cloven (three) into each peach before dropping the latter into the syrup. Hot jars are lily,( to overflowing with the tpickle. It is then ready to label and store. Peach Jam.—+Watc•h the market, talk to your grocer about the pro- spects for fruit and when he expects the largest supply, then be prepared to take advantage any day of an ex- cess ,which he cannot keep over. This is one of the many ways to heat the H.C.L: without feeling it on the table. for peach jam is always ipfime and it is an old reliable as a filler -in for luncheon, Sunday night supper, etc., and a spread for the lunch box next winter. When 'making peach jam use the weight of the fruit in sugar. After peeling and stoning the peaches put alternate layers of fruit and sugar in the kettle. If the fruit is hard use only enough water to cover it A few kernels may .be added. Cook until ,the fruit is transparent, about fifteen to twenty-five minutes, stirring to prevent burning. (Skim off the white scum as it thickens on top. Fill into hid jars. , The screw-top jars are satisfac- tory for jam. The large amount of sugar used makes spoilage less prob- able than in canning.
