Atwood .&e: Prof, Robertson, of the Ottawa Dairy Conunission, had many friends When he lived in Listowel before his ap- pointment and well -merited rapid promo- tion in Government work. He is a genial but tenaciously preserving Scotehman, and though he has never been active in politics his leanings are well known. In disclaim- ing all political motives in dairy work he told a good story which convulsed his audience at the late Dairymen's supper there. His Scotch accent was too natural to be otherwise than home-bred; He said a man once got oa a train below Guelph with a "drop too much," but without a ticket. After feeling about his clothes he said to the conductor, " Weel, I div no, hae a tecket, but I can pay ma fare," which he did. He felt somewhat ashatneof himself as he saw all the. other passengers handing out their tickets, but brightened up a bit as he soliloquised—" Weel, f div na care ony- way ; I'm a. Sootchman,—an' a Presbyter- ian—an' a Grit—and that's guid enough for onyman, without a ticket." Arkansas Water Banquet. It is congratulating to record "that many of the Arkansas' distinguished patriots met in celebration recently at Hotel Richelieu, Little Rook, and did grand Work at a banquet without wine. .Upon the occasion G overnor Eagle's reponse to the toast'Arkansas,' did both him and ,the State proud, and should go down into history. The response was as follows 'It is a proud occasion for sons of Revolu- tionary blood to be able to boast that an Arkansas assembly of patriots can assemble and do grand work at an afternoon bouquet without wine.' What a remarkable advance in the sigas of the times for beloved Arkansas. One almost hears the pulsations of the Great Heart beat in answer to the appealing cry that is going up for the over- throw of rum throughout the State, and faint souls receive new courage to work on for God and Home and every Land."— .Exchange. An linsatisfactory A small Scotch boy was summoned to , give evidence against his father who _was accused of making a disturbance in the street. Said the -bailie to him : "Come, ,any wee mon, speak the truth, and let us knovv all ye ken about this affair." " Weel, sir," said the lad, " d',ye ken Inverness street ? " "1 do laddie, ' replied his Lord- ship. " Weel, ye gang along it and turn into the square and across the square—" "Yes, yes," said the bailie encouragingly. And when ye gang across the square ye turn to the right and up into High street, and keepon up High street till ye come to a pump.', " Qaite right, my lad ; proceed," said his Worship. "1 know the old pump well." " Weel," said the boy with the most infantile simplicity, "ye may gang and pump it, for ye 'lino pump me." The Tell Tale Evidence.

MISS PAELOA would nob only be an ac- quisition to any kttehen, but she would be handy to have around a house which is heated by a furnace. In. the forthcoming Decem bar' number of the Ladies' Horne journal she writes : The furnace lire should be shaken down and raked perfectly clear in the morning. A few shovelfuls of coal should be put on and all the draughts opened. The ashes should then be taken up. As soon as the coal begins to burn well and the fire looks clear at the bottom, put in enough coal to come almost to the top of the fire -pot. Keep the draughts open until all the gas has burned Mr ; then close them, and later, ff the fire be too hot, open the checks. Except in extremely cold weather this is all the atten- tion that ought to be necessary through the day. The fire must be raked down and fresh coal or cinders put on in the evening, but a small amount of coal will emitter for the night. •unless the draughts have been open She greater part of the day. On an extremely cold day it may be noceistarsr to have the draughts open Ittt part of the time and some coal put on at noon. All the clinkers should be removed when the fire is raked down in the morning. The water , pan should be replenished once is day. If the furnace fire be allowed to burn to is white heat it vvill be ruined for that day unless more coal be put on a little later. The cold -air boxes must admit enough air to drive the hot air through the house. Heating stoves and open _grates are to be managed as far as possible the Same as a furnace. With the stove there is no trouble, there being plenty of checks and • draughts. A Portage la Prairie despatch Saturday -afternoon says : The Catholic church and priest's house are on fire.

SOME GOOD THINGS TO EAT. Msi Parloa on Braised Beef, lyonnalsed Potatoes' Graham Pudding and. Golden Sauce, WINE JELLY, 0HEESE SOUFFLES. There was a larger turn -out of ladies than ever at MILISS Parloa's cooking lesson last evening, but men were small potatoes and few in the hill. The lecture began promptly at 7.30 add it was twenty minutes to eleven when the sampling was done. One of the dishes on the evening's programme was scored otf, fish being unobtainable, but the instructions were given so that the ladies Can experiment in the seclusion of theie own kitchens. The first dish as tapioca cream, and measuring cups and knitting were laid aside as Miss Parloa arose to give the formula, and several hundred notebooks were opened to jot it down. It was as follows : Wash four tablespoonfuls of tapioca .• put it into half a pint of cold water and soak over night. In the morning pour off all the water remaining (if any—sometimes it absorbs it alit and put the tapioca, in a double boiler, with a quart of boiling milk ; stir in the yolks of four eggs, half a teaspoonful C4 salt, and one cupful or sugar, well beaten together. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, till it thickens like a soft custard—say about seven minutes. Have the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth, and as soon as the cteam is cooked stir this froth into it; season with either a tea- spoonful of vanilla or lemon extract; pour into an earthen dish and let it get perfectly cold. At serving time pour into a glass dish. The dish looks better it you have some bits of bright jelly to put over it. Having given the "specifications," she proceeded to the practical demonstration, mtanwhile talking away about the treat- ment of meats and the advantages of broiling and roasting over other methods. Preparing to deal with a leg of mutton before her, she warned the class that at first the oven must be hot. Wipe the meat, season well with salt and pepper and dredge it well with flour, being also very generous with the pan—to let plenty go into it. Then put it into the hot oven. AS BOOB as it is brown on one side turn it over and brown the other side. Miss Parloa's pan had feet on it and the meat lay on a reale in the pan, keeping it out of the hot water below. Always put hot water in but the meat must be libpt up or it will sitew. It must be dredged, not with the fat, but with the gravy water, every twenty min- utes, being turned over with a spoon and fork, but the latter must not pierce it. Each time it is turned over it must be gen- erously basted with the liquor, then lightly with salt, pepper and flour. The object of putting the water in is to keep the tempera- ture down to that of boiling water. And so the leg of lamb was treated. Speaking of custards Miss Parloa ex- tolled the double boiler and emphasized the value of constant stirring and slow cooking, and impressed on the class that at a certain point the custard must be removed from the fire. For diquart of soft custard she would use four 'eggs. The custards made with yolks alone are smbother: Too much sugar ought not to be used ; half a cup would be too much. • While the meat was cooking and the tapioca cream cooling, the following method of dealing with the sweet potato was dis- cussed, and subsequently the dish was cooked: Cook (boil) the potatoes one hour ; pare them, and out 1 hem in halves, or if large in quarters; season with salt, dredge and put in a pan flat sides down and spread over with soft but- ter and dredge it over with a little powdered sugar; then set the pan in a very hot oven and brown for 20 minutes to half an hour, according to the heat of the oven. They are delicious. That is what is calledglazed sweet potatoes. A very tasty dish was the mashed and browned potatoes in cream sauce, and great interest was taken in its preparation by the ladies. It was as follows : For six persons use one quart of cold boiled Potato cut in cubes; one slice of onion ; two sprigs of parsley,one slice of carrot; three table- spoonfuls of butter, one level teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper, two scant tablespoonfuls of flour, one pint of milk, one cupful of ' grated broad crumbs (not over - stale bread); beat the flour and two tablespoon- fuls'of the butter together [it was explained that the beating must be thorough and the re- sult a light, creamy mass or the iniacture would be lumpy] in the saucepan; add the onion, par- sley, carrot and half the salt and pepper. Heat the milk and pour it gradually on the contents of the saucepan; then set the pan on the stove; when the milk begins to boil set the pan back where tho mixture will simmer for five min- utes. Season the potatoes with the remaining salt and pepper and put them into a gratin dish or any shallow escallop pan and strain the hot sauce over them and sprinkle the crumbs over this. Dot with the other tablespoonful of but- ter sot the dish in a rather hot oven and cook for 20 minutes. The cooking went on merrily and the ladies fired questions at the teacher, on various' topics. The assistant basted the lamb, and while the fire got in its work Miss Parloa, gave the formula for the tniSs- ing number, fishan-gratin. Any kind of fresh fish, free from skin and bones, will do. Use for one pint of fish a cup and a half of cream or milk, one tablespoonful of flour, two of butter. a quarter of a teaspoon- ful& popper, one and a half teaspoonfuls of salt, half a tablespoonful of onion juice, eight tablespoonfuls grated bread crumbs. Break the fish into a plate with a fork and sprinkle over it half of the pepper and one teaspoonful of the salt, mixing a little with a fork: put the milk or cream into a small sauce -pan and heat It to the boiling point: meanwhile heat together the flour and one tablespoonful of the butter and stir it into the boiling milk, stir for one minute and add the onion juie and popper: take it from the fire and put about half a spoon- ful of the sa.uco into each of six scallop shells, now put in a thin layer of fish and another layer of sauce; repeat; finally sprinkle the grated bread crumbs over each dish; molt the second tablespoonful of butter and sprinkle it over the crumbs. Place the scallop shells in a large pan and put in a rather hot oven for fifteen minutes andserve immediately. As soon as the lamb was done Mr. Priest - man was called to carve, and a bevy of young ladies assisted him. The meat, potatoes, sweet potatoes and tapioca cream were passed round and unanimously voted good.—Hantilton Pima. The attendance at the fourth of the series of lessons on cooking by Miss Maria Parloa, of Boston, yesterday afternoon in AssociationlIal , was larger than whatmight have been expected in such unauspicious weather. Early in the afternoon the ram came down as if the windows of the sky had been thrown open. Many who had made tip their minds last week to be present at this lesson were absent, and some from distant parts of the city who put in an ap- pearance, were drenched. Still they did not mem to rnind it, and from 2.30 until long after 6 o'clock, occupied their seats in- tent upon catching every word uttered by , the lady cook and watching her prepare the several (tithes given in the programme. These were: Croquettes, blangtiette of chicken, rice border, breaded sausages, muffins, custard souffle, creamy sauce. As during the previous lessons, almost every lady in the hell had pencil and paper and took voluminous notes during the lesson. In view of the pressure of other matters upon these columns, the representative had to give his pencil somewhat of a refit, although Miss Parloa said many good things during the afternoon. Here are the recipes as given by the lady to the audience and on which she gave practical demonstra- tion of her ability as a cook, cluck= OROQUIPATES. One solid pint ofIfinely chopped cooked chicken, one tablespoonful of salt ; half O teaspoon of pepper, one cupful of ()yearn or chicken stock, one tablespoonful of flour, four eggs, Ono tableSponial of oniOn one teaspoonful of lemon juice, one pint of crumbs and three tablespoonfuls of butter. Put the cream or stock on to boil. Mix the flour and butter together and stir into the boiling cream, theo add the chicken and seasoning. Boil for two minutes and add two of the eggs tvoll beaten. Take from the fire immediately and set away to cool. When cold shape and fry. SLONTJETIES Olf OlTIOLCIat. One quart of cooked chicken cut in deli- cate pieces ; one large cupful of white stock, three tablespontals of butter, is heap- ing tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, one cupful of cream or milk, the yolks of four eggs, salt and pepper. Put She butter in the situv pan, and when hot add the flour. Stir until smooth, but not brown. Add the stock, and cook two minutes, then add the seasoning and cream. As soon as this boils op, add the chicken. Cook ten minutes, beat the yolks of the eggs with four tablespoonfuls of milk. Stir into the blanquette. Cook these about half a minute longer, when it is ready for use. THE MOE SOItMER. The rice border which may be served with the above, is prepared in two ways. The first is to boil the rice as for a veaeta- ble, and, with is spoon, heap it lightly around the edge of the fricassee, ragout, etc. The second method is a little inore difficult. Put one cupful of rice on to boil in threo cupfuls of cold water When it has been boiling half an hour add two tablespoonfuls of butter and ouo heaping teaspoonful of salt. Set back where it will just simmer and cook one hour longer. Mash very fine with a spoon, add two well - beaten eggs, and stir for three minutes. Butter a plain border mould and fill with the rice. Place in the heater for ten minutes. Turn upon a hot dish. Fill the centre with a fricassee, salmis or blanquettes and serve hot. A mould with is border two inches high and wide'and having a space in the centre five and a half inches wide, and eleven long, is pretty and convenient for rice and potato borders, and also for jelly borders, with which to decorate salads, boned chickens, creams, etc. AnEADED SAUSAGES. Wipe the sausages dry ; dip them in beaten egg and bread crumbs. Pat them in She frying basket and plunge into boiling fat Cook ten minutes. Serve with& garnish of toasted bread and parslby. GRAHAM 1.117171ITS. Into a bowl put one and a half pints of Graham flour, half a cupful of sugar and a teaspoonful of salt. Into a sieve put hall a pint of flour, a teaspoonful of saleratus and two of cream of tartan Mix thoroughly with the flour and sift on the material in the bowl. Mix all thoroughly while dry and add two well beaten eggs and a pint of milk. Fill muffin cups about two-thirds to the top and bake in a quick oven. CUSTARD SOUFFLE. Two scant tablespoonfuls of butter ; two tablespoonfuls ot flour, two teaspo'onfuls of sugar and one of milk ; four eggs ,• let the milk come to a boil. Beat the flour and butter together ' • add to them gradually the boiling milk andcook eight minutes stirring often. Beat the sugar and troika of eggs together; add to the cooked mixture and put away to cool. When cool beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and add to the mixture. Bake in a buttered pudding dish for twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Serve immediately with creamy sauce. ' Many of the ladies of Hamilton having expressed a desire that Miss Parlors should give an additional course of lectures here, it has been decided to open a list ej.,t Wednes- day evening's lesson. Miss Parka, it is understood, will give six more lessons if $300 be guaranteed hen This means one hundred students at 3 each for the course. Those favorable to the project were asked to stand up, and about one-third of those present responded. It is thought that the hundred names can easily be procured. , Growing Old Gracefully. "What a lovely old lady," I heard a man remark, at the opera, lately. "She's quite as beautiful as any girl in the house. Such color and complexion is rarely seen in a woman past forty." Indeed, the woman of whom he spoke was lovely. Her face was clear and smooth, her cheeks, fresh and rosy, her eyes bright with perfect health and the enjoyment of life. She had passed the critical "change of life" without falling into " the sere and yellow leaf," as mostAmerican women do. How had she succeeded in doing this? Simply by using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pres- cription at a time when nature stood in need of some assistance. She had taken it at the right time. In doing this she was wise. Wiser than most women who "trust to luck" in getting through the critical and trying period safely. This standard remedy is just what is needed at such a time. It is, from girlhood to old age, woman's best friend In all diseases peculiar to the sex, it accomplishes what no other remedy does —a cure. Take it, woman, when life's autumn begins. and "grow old gracefully." Your money back if it don't help you. Without Benefit of Clergy.

Row it Feels to Iludergo That Hunitliatitts^ ordeal, People who lead 'of tarring and feather- ing by white cape and others know that the punishment is is very unpleasant one, but tow imagine how terribly painful and dam -ser- ape it is, gays a writer to the St. Laois Globe -Democrat. In Wyoming I once saw O man who had been tarred and feathered, and, although he fully deserved, the dis- cipline I could not help pitying him. Hardened tar is very hard to remove from the skin, and when feathers are added it forms a kind of cement that aticks closer than. a brother. As soon as the tar sets the victim's suffering begins. It contracts as it cools, and every one of the little hairs on the body is pulled, causing the most exquisite agony. The perspiration is en- tirely stopped, and unless the tar is re- moved death is certain to ensue. But the removal is no easy task and requires several days. The tar cannot be softened by the application of heat and must be peeled off bit by bit, evveet oil tieing used to make the process less painful. The irritation to the skin is very great, as the hairs cannot be disengaged but must be pulled out or cut off. No man can be cleaned of tar in a single day, as the operation would be too excrucia- ting for endurance, and unless this is done he has to suffer from a pain like that of 100,000 pin pricks. Numbers of men have died under the torture, and none who have gone through it regard tarring and feather- ing as anything but a, most fearful infliction. "Pour years ago," writes Col. David Wylie, Brockville, Ont., May, 1888, "1 had O severe attack of rheumatism, and could not stand on my feet The pain was ex- cruciating. I was blistered and purged in true orthodox style, but all to no purpose. I was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil which I did. 1 had my ankles well rubbed and th'en wrapped with flannel saturated with the remedy. In the morning I could walk without pain." A. Good Story Destroyed. A recent sermon of the Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage has this glowing pas- sage When Cromwell's army went into battle, he stood at the head of them one day and gavo out the longmetre Doxology to the tune of the "01(1 Hundred," and that great host, company by company, regiment by regiment, battalioa by battalion, joined in the Doxology: Praise God from whom allblessings flow, Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. And while they sang they marched, and while they marched they fought, and while they fought they got the victory. It seems a pity to destroy is good story, but chronology is very despotic. Oliver Cromwell died in 1658. Bishop Ken, who has always been credited with this grand Doxology, was born in 1637, and was then, theretore, only about 21. years old. Hym- nologists give 1697 as the year in which Bishop Ken wrote the Doxologyas the last verse of his morning and evening hymns. This would place the composition about half O century after CromwelPs last battle in the civil war, and some forty years after his death.—Christian Inquirer. Across the Continent. Wm. Renwick, RDI . M.R.C.S.E., Vic- toria, RC., writes : Ihave used Miller's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil in cases of indi- gent patients' with the most gratifying smuts.

The St Clair tunnel will be opened for passenger business on December 7 This was decided yesterday at a meeting of Grand Trunk officials held at the Queen's Hotel, Toronto. Mn William Edgar, gen- eral passenger agent, presiding. Those present were: Superintendents James Stephenson, C. Stiff Attwater, and W. E. Davis, general passenger agent 0. and G. T,s11. and D. S. Wagstaff, Michigan, pas - edger agent G.T.R. In consequence of the new arrangement there will be a great sav- ing of time, which will necessitate the pre- paring of new time tables and instructions to employees. It was decided M proceed at once with the preparation that all may be in readiness for the now order of things. "I don't like the breath of that stove I." exclaimed little Ethel one day when the gas was escaping from the sitting -room stove. Coal -gas is like the "perfumes of India;" compared with the breath of a person afflicted with catarrh, but among many other symptoms the sense of smell is often deadened, so the sufferer is unconsoious of the offensiveness of his presence. Why any one will endure such a painful, dangerous and offensive disease, when Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy—costing only 50 cents— will cure the most stubborn case, is one of the many mysteries. The proprietors are so confident of the success of this Catarrh Remedy, that they offer M forfeit $500 for atits case of Catarrh they es.nnot cure. It WOuld be suicide for their remedy, for them to make this offer, unless they understood its exact powers. He Hakes It Go. John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia mer- chant, says that during the ten months previous to Christmas his sales hovered about $100,000 a day, so that the grand total for the ten days was only a few dollars under a million. He adds, "1 spend $5,000 a week in advertising, and I pay askillful man —a former editor, and a good one—$1,000 a month to do it for me. I make money by it. Advertising is the leverage with which this store has been raised up1 do not see how any large and successful business can be done without liberal advertising." Many women suffer in silence from the troubles peculiar to their sex rather than consult a physician. Let them try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they will no /anger feel life a burden. Alt Itnappreciative Wretch. "You'll be lonely dear, I'rn afraid, while I'm away," said the wife, who was going on a visit to her mother. " Oh, no," he said cheerfully.

Canadian horses by thoroughbred sires continue to do remarkably well in the New York market, and I doubt if the average made by the lot recently sold there by Mr. W. D. Grand was ever approaohed by the prices of anysbther sale of half-breed horses ever sold in America. On the opening day of the National Horse Show, which is now in progress, the prize for the best tandem was won by a pair of Canadians, and that for the best lady's saddle horse went to the four-year-old gelding, Guelph, by Orange Boy, a stallion Imported some years ago by Mr. John Hendrie, of Hamilton Forty-one horses were shown in the last named class. RENDRIE STABLES. Ten horses, of which three were sold before the close of the season, carried the popular brown and yellow jacket of Mr. Wm. Hendrie, of Hamilton, the President of the Ontario Jockey Club this year, and their winnings amounted to over $7,000. The 2 -year-old Cottoned() and the 3 -year-old Versatile were the chief performers and both did well in good company, Cottonade getting a place in 14 of her 22 races. Bull- finch won the Governor -General's Cup at Quebec, and Wild Thorn and Gladiator per- formed between the flags. Altogether, al- though there was no $5,000 Iroquois Stake winner among the lot as a couple of years ago, the record is quite creditable The stable ought to be somewhat stronger next year, as some good 2 -year-olds are coming on.
