LONDONERS' GLOOMY FACES.
. Seventeen Out of Twenty Betray
Much Misery.
Arnold Bennett's remark, after
returning to England after -a long
stay in Paris, that the expression
on the faoes of Londoners varies
from -the sad to -the morose, and
that their "general mein is one of
;haste and gloomy preoccupation”
has led to an enquiry by The Daily
Mirror, which finds that it is "all
to -o true."
The Daily Mirror says it tested
the statement recently, when seve-
al hours were spent in counting
faces in the streets and in typical
places where people meet. Every-
thing was gloom ; people looked
glum and worried, strained, over -
serious, and anxious.
Across London Bridge, for exam-
ple, when it was visited half an
hour before noon, were tramping a
long procession of deary-looking
men and tired, bored women. The
first twenty who passed on the
pavement on the western side were
carefully sorted out into three
classes "Happy," "miserable"
and "indifferent." The fact that
,seventeen had to be put into the
"miserable" class, and that it was
difficult to classify the other three,
was proof that Mr. Bennett's state-
ment was justified.
Then an omnibus journeying from
London Bridge Station past the
Mansion House was mounted, and
the persons inside were sorted out
under the three heads. Of ten, five
were looking tired, three seemed to
be bearing upon their shoulders the
burdens of the world, and the other
two looked out upon the roadway
as though it was not there.
The head 'waiter at a world-fa,m-
ous restaurant in the Strand tried
to explain it all. "It is an age of
worry," he said. "Look around
this room. There are here thirty
or forty persons, well-to-do, a.nd
being served with some of the finest
food in Europe, yet scarcely one of
them looks happy."
In Bedford Street, and there-
abouts—the actors' promenade—
the Macbeths of yesterday and the
Ronleos of to -morrow all looked like
Hamlets, so melancholy was their
mein. Outside one of the biggest
agent's seven of thein stood toge-
ther, all in .an "Alas, poor Yorick !"
mood.
l
It would be a much more progres-
sive world if we reduced the time
we give to other people's business.

Seasonable. Recipes,
Asparagus
Ro1i—
Cook half
bundle of green asparagus tips or
finely sliced sprue (asparagus) in
salted
uct
water, and drain on a sieve.
Put them in a stew -pan with a. few
mllshzs(loms and two slices of hair
or tongue, also cut into fine shreds.
Blend well and mix with bechamel
or veloute sauce, seasonwith salt,
pepper and a grate of nutmeg and
keep hot, Cut three-fourths very
small dinner rolls in ,half, scoop out
the crumbly part of each half and
dry them crisp in the oven. Fill
each roll with the above mixture,
coat the top with white sauce, be-
sprinkle with. bread crumbs and
grated.cheese. Place a small piece
of butter in the ,centre, and put in
a hot oven long enough to brown
the surface. Dish up on a folded
napkin, and send to table hot.
Asparagus Pudding. — Scrape,
clean, wash and drain a bundle of
green asparagus, tie it up and cook
in saltedwateruntil. tender, When
cooked drain the asparagus and rub
the tender parts through a fine
sieve. Melt about two ounces of
butter in a stewpan, stir in three
ounces of flour (sifted), cook a lit-
tle without browning, and add by
degrees about three-fourths of a
pint of hot milk, in which a bay
leaf and a piece of mace have been
boiled. Stir over the fire for •sev-
eral minutes, then let cool a little
and work in one by one four yolks
of eggs, season with salt and pep-
per and a pinch of red pepper.
Whisk the white's of eggs to a stiff
froth, and incorporate• lightly with
the mixture alternately with the
asparagus puree. Three parts fill
one or two well -buttered pudding
molds, cover well with buttered
paper, and put them in a saute -pan
containing a little hot water. Steam
thus in a fairly hot oven for about
an hour. Unmold the pudding on-
to a hot dish, pour over a well pre-
pared lemon sauce made partly
from the asparagus water, and
serve.
Tomatoes a Ia Qhasseur. — Take
six large, ripe but firm, even -sized
tomatoes, six or eight preserved
mushrooms, chopped parsley; a lit-
tle cream% six small eggs, six tart-
let crusts (baked) to serve tomatoes
on. Wipe the tomatoes, remove the
stems, make an incision on the
stem side by means of a plain one
and three-fourths inch paste cut-
ter, and carefully remove the pulp
'without breaking the skins of the
tomatoes. Chop the mushrooms and
sprinkle these with chopped parsley
at the bottom of each hollowed out
tomato. Place them into the tart-
let crusts, which should be made to
well fit the tomatoes. Break a small
fresh egg into each tomato ; upon
this put a dessertspoonful of cream
And tomato pulp (the batter being
rubbed through a siege, mixed with
the cream and suitably seasoned
with salt and pepper). Sprinkle a
few drops -of dissolved butter in tbp
of' each tomato and bake in a gen-
tle oven from five to six minutes,
just long enough to poach or set
the eggs. Serve hot as a .supper
dish or vegetable savery.
Green Peas a Ia Paysanne.—S1r it
and cook one quart of green peas
in salted water and drain them.
Peel and chop finely half a small
onion, fry it in an ounce of butter
a pale golden color; to this add two
ounces of cooked lean ham, cut into
dice. Dredge with a little hour (say
a teaspoonful), stir over the fire.for
a few seconds, and add a quart of
cooked green peas. Season with a
pinch of sugar, grated nutmeg, salt
and pepper ; moisten with two
tablespoonfuls of good stock, sim-
mer gently for ten minutes, stirring
occasionally. Dish up and serve
hot.
Stuffed Tomatoes in Aspic—Take
six even -sized, ripe and firm to-
matoes, four filleted Gorgona an-
chovies, one hard -cooked yolk of
egg, about one pint of aspic jelly,
one dessertspoonful capers, mayon-
naise, -two cabbage lettuces. Wipe
the tomatoes, carefully scoop out.
the centre by means of a vegetable
cutter or a teaspoon. Chop the.
capers, yolk of egg and anchovy
fillets, mix with a gill of mayonnaise
and a gill of aspic, .stir over the ice
until nearly set, then fill the cavi-
ties of the tomatoes, cover with a
spring of parsley, and put on the
ice to set thoroughly. Coat each
tomato . several times with half -set
aspic, or line some little molds with
aspic and set the tomatoes 'i1: the
same. Have ready the lettuces,
washed and divided into small piec-
es, season with salt and pepper,.
dress with mayonnaise, and put in
the centre of a dish, Arrange the
prepared tomatoes round the salad,
garnish with sprigs of parsley and
blocks of aspie jelly. Some .lobster
or 'any other kind of cooked fish
may be used for the stuffing in
place of the anchovies.
Green Peas with .Hans. -w -Boil and
drain a quart of young peas; shred
finely two rashers of raw ham:, and
fry them for a few minutes with a
small piece of butter. Add :two
small, green onions, finely ehopped,-
and the peas; moisten with three
tablespoonfuls of bechamel sauce,
two of cream and sensori With salt,.
pepper and a pinch of sugar. Let

Always cover newly bakedbread
with a clean' cloth—preferably an

The white of an egg, whipped
stiff, with a • ripe banana makes a
delicious cream to be eaten on a
simple gelatine pudding.
Apples can be stewed with a Tittle

blackberries, and. the result will be
a pleasant change.
Wear a sewing apron while iron-
ing, and you will often find it pos-
sible to do a bit of mending while.
waiting for the iron to heat.
Sash curtains of Swiss muslin
hemmed by hand are less likely to
pucker when washed. than when
hug upon
the h e.
It pays the housekeeper to get
the
est bedsprings and mattresses
in °the market, even if she has to
economize somewhere else.
Test :potatoes by cutting in two
and rubbing the cut surfaces to-
gether. Then press • the two. parts
together. If they stick the pota-
toes are good.
Eating too quickly is a common
fault among children who arehun-
gry, and the habit should be check-
ed froom the first, .as indigestion -will
result from "bolting" the food, and
when once the seeds of this.niiser-
able ailment are sown there is
scarcely ever a complete cure. Even
at the expense of a little inconveni-
ence and trouble it is well to watch
the children at meal times, and to
teach them to eat slowly.
When nailing dawn a carpet after
the floor has-been washed be certain
that the floor is quite dry, or the
nails will rust and injure the car-
pet.
Ali the strips of .fat left from a
steak should be left in a dish and
tried out in the oven. They will
make excellent fat for frying.
Any one troubled with -rats or
mice can get rid of them very quick-
ly if they will sprinkle ,pepper on
a cloth and stuff this into the hole
where they appear.
Large patterns in tablecloths are
less economical than smallones, for
the simple reason that - the long
threads break sooner than the short
ones.
To preserve the appearance,. o£
wooden utensils wash them direct-
ly after they are used, because if
grease and dirt are allowed to soak
in it may be impossible to remove
them.
In pressing silk or satin, do not
use a very hot iron nor dampen
them. Lay some clean, dry muslin
over the seams and 'press with a
warm iron.
To overcome the odor of mould,
which sometimes rises in a library
in. damp weather in spite of the
best of care, scatter afew drops of
oil of lavender on the shelves, and
the odor will disappear.
Sometimes during, - • the spring
clean^ng operations a good piece of
furniture is bruised. If the injury
is sevcxe.a cabinetmaker should be
consulted, but where the wood is
only dented, and not broken, the
mark can- generally be removed by
home treatment. First wet that
part with warm water, then double
a piece of brown paper several
times and place it over the bruise;
now press with a heavy warm iron,
leaving it on the paper until the,
moisture has evaporated. If one
application is not successful it must.
be repeated.
ROW HE LIVED TO BE 102.
England's Oldest Barrister Recom-
mends Physical Exercise.
The oldest barrister in England,
Mr. W. A. Gordon Hake, of Brigh-
ton, who is a cousin of the famous
General Gordon, celebrated' his
102nd birthday recently. For fifty
years Mr. Hake has lived at No. 3,
Old Steine, Brighton, one of the
four houses built .in the reign of.
George III.; which, with its cobble
obone front and old-fashioned win-
dows, ,is an' object of much interest'
in the town. • , Furnished in the
early Victorian' style, it never re-
veals, after sunset a light of any
sort; •
Such is Mr.: Hake's vitality that
he has ' recovered from a, seri-
ous attack of bronchitis. He is the
second resident of, Brighton within
a few years to attain the great ago
of 102. He attributes his long'' life
to plenty of physical exercise and
abstemious habits:
Here is a little sidelight on Mr.
Hake's fondness for Meg wallas ; ,
"I was a great' stickler for the'
etiquette of my profession," he
says. "It was the law of existence.:
13y the rules of our profession we
were not allowed to ride in a pub-
lie oonvoyence. Not being able to
afford a. postchaise unless three or
four joined me, T have often walked
thirty miles rather than break
through the rules,"
ICELAND 'WILL BE "Dino"
Present Stook of Liquors to Be
Exhausted by Mei,
At theend of the present 'year,
according to news received from
Copenhagen, ib 'will be iznpossibl'e
for either natives or tourists to ob-
tain alcoholic ligaters, in Iceland.
Under the anti -spirit law permis-
sion. was given to consume the pre-
sent stook of ' liquors in 'Iceland,
and figuring on the per capita con-
sumption it will all be gone by the.
end of the year. The government
adopted the drastic prohibition
laws because it woos felt that the.
excessive drinking of the Icaelanders
was undermining the physical fit-
ness of the people,
During the lost twenty years the
trade and industry of Iceland has
increased enormously. Twenty
years ago there was not a dairy in
the country ; now thirty bi'g elairies
are sending thousands of casks of
butter to Leith and Edinburgh,
'Scotland. Sheep raising is also be-
coming an important biisiness.
Fishing, however, continues to be
the staple industry of the people.
Twenty years ago 15,000,000 pounds
of dried cod were exported from
Iceland annually; now 50,000,000
pounds are shipped each year.
Twenty-one steam trawlers now.
sail with their hauls directly to
Hull, England. - The country still
needs immigrants, much of it being
untenanted.
INTERESTING STORY OF CANA-
DIAN COMPANY'S DEVEL-
OPMENT.
The Russell Motor Car Company
has had long experience in the sell-
ing and manufacture of cars.
Starting as agents for other makes
of cars, this company proceeded to
build up aplant in Canada, manu-
facturing cars in this country.
Some of the parts were purchased
abroad; ethers were designed and
manufactured at home. The amount
of home manufacturing steadily in-
creased.
ncreased. In 1910 the adoption of
the Knight Motor gave afurther
stimulus to the business and the
company found it necessary to pro-
vide in a strong manner for future
developments of the industry. De
velopments in mind were the fur-
ther adoption of the sliding sleeve
in opposition to the poppet valve
motor; the adoption of left-hand
steering and centre gear and con-
trol; the adaption: of electric light-
ing and self-starting.
Early in. 1911 a corps of engineers
was set to work to develop a. car
that would be worthy of "Russell"
reputation. In September of that
year they were, ready for a. prelimi-
nary report, and taking advantage
of the unt sual opportunity, engi-
neering ,eo-operation and advice, a
conference of engineers passed upon
the preliminary plans. These were
then worked out in ft rther detail.
In January, 1912, this conference
met a ,second time, there being pre-
sent representatives of three of the
foremost manufacturing firms in
the United States and two engi-
neers • from Europe, from factories
operating under the Knight license.
After the designs had passed this
stage, experimental cars were
built and submitted to exacting
tests, upon the bench in the factory
.and upon the road. Following this,
a small number of demonstrating
cars were put through, to discover
any further points of difficulty.
Then' came the careful prepara-
tion of exact uncia for manufacture,
so that each piece would be an ex-
act duplicate of a similar piece in
and other car. These provisions,
one after the other,' have been car-
ried through. To -day the Russell
Company is delivering cars design-
ed under the• most advantageous
conditions of engineering and man-
ufactured with a view to the re-
quirements not bnly of 1913 but
1914 as well.
The Russell car of this year is a
mode, on which there will be no im-
eaortant change for two seasons at
least. •

INTERE,ST PAID IN DATES.
Land Mortgage Recorded in Time
-of Artaxerxes I. of Babylon.
A farm, mortgage is probably the
oldest of all human transa.etion:s
which could be called investments
—that is, the putting away of sums
of money more or less permanently
for the purpose of deriving trona
then, fixed .rates of interest with
adequate security "says the Finan-
cial World. Mortgages are known.
to have existed very generally
among the ancients back even. of
Greek and Roman times. Mr. Hi1-
precht, the Assyriologist, • found
some years ago in the ruins of the
Babylonian city of Nippur a brink
tablet on whish in ouneiform was
recorded a land mortgage. The land
in the soil of which this tablet eras
found is known to have been occu-
pied in ;ancient times by a banking
house whioh made loans of all
kinds, including mortgages.
A translation follows :—
"Thirty bushels of dates are due
to Rel Nadin Shun, son of Marashu,
by Bel Bullitsu and Sha Nabu Shu,
sons of Kirebti, and their tenants.
In the month of Tisri (month of har-
vest) of the 34th year of King Arta-
xerxes I., they shall pay the dates,
thirty bushels, awarding to the
measure of Bel Nadin Shun, in the
Town of Bit Balatsu. Their field,
cultivated and . uncultivated, their
fief estate, is held as a pledge for
the dates, naanely, thirty bushel`s,
by Bel Nadin Shun. Another cred-
itor shall not have power over it."
It will be noted thatthis docu-
ment, which is trust deed and note
in one, is a. first mortgage, as shown
by the; final sentence. Another cred-
itor shall not have power over it.
A specific place, as wellas time, for
payment of the debt, is provided,
just as our modern mortgages or
mortgage bonds state that principal
and interest are "payable at the
bankers"- or some other house.
Marashu Sons, of Nippur, lived in
the reign of Artaxerxes I., in. the
year 464-424 B.C., and Darius II.,
423-405 B.C. Many of the ounei-
forms exaaxdned showed that the
firm executed leases with terms and
conditions as to security differing
little from the modern instruments
now used by mortgage bankens.
-One wonders, in, speeulating on.

Patronizing •a Princess.
How the Crown Princess of Ger-'
many once met a rebuff is told in
a Berlin despatch, The princess
takes 'great interest in all measures;
that alleviate the lot of working -
girls. As -the story goes, she once
applied, incognito; on behalf of a
protegee to a leading firm of dress-
makers for a position as model.
"I carne," she said, "because I.
saw your advertisement, and Il
thought—"
The manager laid his hand upon
her shoulder. "My dear girl," he
said, °r•I am sorry, but it's no use.
You are not. quite good-looking
enough. Still, you have a pleasant
face, and I'll tell you what I'Il do.
Come again next month, and then
I'll see. if I can use you as a junior
saleswoman."
His consternation, when he -dis-
covered . the princess identity, was
only equaled by her tact in making
himforget his discomfiture.

Beasts Spread Diphtheria.
Forms of diphtheria are known;
to exist in` many animals. Calves
suffer from a form of it -which in-
feats human beings. They have a '
habit of licking those who pet them
and spread the disease that way.
Chickens, too, are often attacked
by the disease, patches appearing .
in their mouths similar to those in e
the throat of a child. Children are •
always ready to pet sick animals
of all kinds, and this is a. source
of great danger.
Some of us think we are entitled
to a lot of credit for performing a
duty, and we are!
