Poor the Ttiv dill.
Breakfatst Colic.*, Freuch cafe
au len; is leas. likely to cause indi-
gestion than coffee taken with
cream.. Clear coffee: is, of course,
the most digestible, but this seems
bitter and unpleasant to many. To
prepare the cafe au laic properly
the coffee must be very clear. The
milk, unskimmed, should be heated
in a double boiler just to the boiling
,point, . but not long enough for a
filltn to form on the top. Then the
hot milk and the clear hot coffee
should be poured together in the
coffee cup until the right strength
is attained.
]lice C effee,—If coffee produces
nervousness, rice coffee may be sub-
'Stituted for it. To make this brown
a cupful ofrice in the oven, care-
fully, without burning it, and then
grind it fine in a coffee mill. Put
it in an earthenware jug and poor
0, quart of cold water over it, Let
it stand an hour. Strain it, heat it
kind serve it with hot milk or with
cream.
Toast.—Cut yesterday's bread
for breakfast toast. Sometimes
make the slices not more than a
quarter of an inch •thick and dry
them in the oven until they are
golden brown. Serve warm with
butter. This sort of toast is .most
digestible, 'but it must of course be.
thoroughly masticated. If soft toast
is preferred, cut the slices thicker
and toast them quickly on both
sides.
Eggs.—Coddled eggs are tempt-
ing. To prepare them thrust the
eggs, washed clean, into boiling
water, cover the dish, and let it
stand for from five to 10 minutes.
Then remove -the eggs and serve'
with pepper, salt and butter in an
egg cup. Poached eggs are always
tempting, and so are scrambled
eggs. Scrambled eggs can be sur-
rounded with 'crisp slices of broiled
bacon. The eggs should never be
greasy, but should be scrambled in
as little butter as possible. They
can be daintily garnished with pars-
ley.
Custard.—A good way to make
baked custard is to drop the yolk
of an egg in a custard cup, add a big
teaspoonful of sugar, two gratings
of •nutmeg and about five table-
spoons of unskinimed milk, put the
cup in hot water and bake slowly
until the custard is firm—until a
knife thrust in it comes Qut clean.
Beat' the white stiff, add a small
tablespoonful of sugar, beat again,
and pile vn top of the custard, and
garnish h 1;•ith a maraschino cherry
in the (entre of the meringue. Cool
and serve.
White Jelly.—Put the white of an
egg a big tablespoonful of powder-
ed gelatine, a cupful of water, two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, three of
lemon juice and a little stick of
cinnamon in a saucepan with the
rind of half a lemon. Beat with ae
egg beater until the mixture
reaches the boiling point, pull to
the side of the stove, cover and
leave for 10' minutes. Strain
through cheesecloth, add a third of
a cupful of sherry and pour into
two long-stemmed glasses or small
moulds to harden_
Household Hints.
There is nothing better for a
bairn than to cover it with e•arb:rn-
ate of soda.
The proper way to fill a hot-water
bottle is to run it only half -full of
water.
Cotton crepe is excellent for chil-
dren's underwear. as it is not dif-
ficult to Iaunder.
If a glazed appearance is desired
or baked potatoes, they should be
.greased with alittle batter before
they are baked.
Mice dislike the smell of camphor,
and they will leave the place where
they find it.
The vinegar in which pickles
bave been preserved is excellent to
use do salad dressing instead' of or-
<linary virteb^al..•, -
Cream will •be„,Duore successfully

or two, when beaten raeidly for 15
uDinutes.
A erochet needle is a .geed thing
to use in mending knitted under-
wear, With thread to match the
garment, you can pick up the
stitches,
if a paokage ds to be sent :a great
distence, it is a good idea to pro-
vide a box .with a cover of unbleacia
ed muslin, securely sewed in place.
A little olive oil poured into a
bottle of hone -made catsup •after
the bottle has been opened will pre-
vent the catsup from spoiling . se
quickly.
To remove old varnish from fur-
niture take three tablespoonfuls of
baking soda and put it in a quart of
water and apply it with a rough
/cloth.
'To remove fruit and vegetable.
stains from the hands, dip the fin-
gers in strong tea for a few min-
utes and then wash thein in clear
warm water. •
Never dry a silk handkerchief
before ironing it, but lay it smooth-
ly in a elean towel and leave ib for
an hour. Then iron it with a mo-
derately hot iron.
When making a boiled pudding,
be sure .that the basin is filled quite
full, If there is any space left, wa-
ter will get in and the pudding will
be heavy.
To keep crochet work from un-
ravelling put a safety pin in the
last stitch. Biro can then lay it
down • without any danger of the
stitches being pulled out.
When .making nieffirts or cakes in
muffin rings,, if there is not enough
to fill all the pans you may pre-
vent the empty ones .from burning
by filling them with water.
When cleaning. tip `broken - glass
time will be saved if a damp cloth
is laid on the floor where the glass
is. The tiny particles will adhere
to the cloth, which may be burned.
Baked bean sandwiches are good
in the school lunch basket. Mash
the beans a little and • mix with a
French dressing. Spread slices of
bread with butter and spread the
beans over it.
The apples in your apple pie will
bake more quickly if cut in irregu-
lar pieces. They will not pack so
closely, and will -give the hot air a
chance to come in contact with all
parts more easily,
When the tablecloth wears out on
the edges, cut out the centre in .a
square, hem it, end you have a
lunch cloth. The -remainder of the
good portion cut into squares and
you have every -day napkins.
It is economy to save all the
trimming from old gowns; if it is
good, even if you do not see any
immediate use for it-. A smart touch
can often be given a simple gown
by a bit of lace embroidery.
The marketing should be sorted
and put away as noon as it comes
into the house. If it is allowed to
wait until what seems a convenient
time to attend to it, the meat and
vegetables may lose some of their
freshness.
GEORGE JOSEPH DESB.ARATS.
The Eiiicicnt Deputy Minister of
Canada's Naval Affairs.
The Civil Service and the Cassels
commissions unmade a good many
reputations in the civil service, but
there was one officer whose reputa-
tion they made. They were many
intheservice in those troublous
times — when blesses. Courtney,
Fyshe, Bazin, and Justice Cassels
were turning things inside out in
the departments.• -there ,were many
who came through the ordeal un -
seethed. They were doing their
duty and doing it well; and there
was no stain on their 'scutoheon.
But it was another thing to go'
through the ordeal, to • have the
sear ehlight of two commissions
thrown upon him, and to emerge,
not merely innocent, but marked
for honesty, efficiency and ability.
This last was the kind of fate of Mr.'
George Joseph Des'barats, presently
Deputy Minister of naval Affairs.
At the time Mr. Thomas Fyshe

began his 'sear :liing. probe in.bo the
Department of Marine and,Fiaher=
les, Mr. Desba,rrats w;aa engaged in
the Government service at the Sorel
shipyard, He was known iq, the ,de-
party ent as a eapabie and 'hvapest
ofiioial, and as an exp•e•rieneed`moffi-
eial. But outside of the department
VS name had ,hardly been. heard.
Mr. Ey-she and his ootleagtte, Mr.
Philippe [, Bazin, ranged here and
there .through the 1liarine,and' Fish-
ernes Depart -Meet, and reported
that "zetal for economy and;'good
nran,age'rnent,o'r pride' in the work,
is not vesibde,” The result -,a,s that
efe, Justice Cassels leas appointed
to continue the .probe. Mr. Justice
Cassels made a pretty thorough in-
vestigation of the department, arid
reported a number of eflicials for
puni ibinont, Mr: Desbarats he re-
ported as "a most capable and effi-
cient officer,"
The, upshot was that Mr. Desbar-
et,s was eulogized in Parliament by
Hon, L. P. Brodeur and was given
the honor of being well spoken of
even by the Opposition. He in tura
became head of the Sorel shipyard,
and later Deaputy. Minister of Mar-
ine and Fisheries; and was ohoisen
as civil head of •the new department
of naval. affairs on its organization.
Fruit of Long Preparation.
From an outside point of view Mr.
Desbarats'; rise was sudden. But
like most things in this world, it
was the fruit of long; preparation.
FIe head had a thorough training and
a long experience 'before he was
placed in ,00anmance. He was born
ip Quebec on the 27th of January
the year 1861 ; and, was thus forty-
eight yearsof age when he 'become
head of the de'par'tment of !'urine
and Fisheries in 1909.. In the inter-
val he had had a thorough course
of training as an engineer,and had.
served in many capacities in con-
nection with, the Government ser-
vice.
He began training for his .life-
work in the Eeole Polytechaiigiie of
tfonatreutl, from which' he graduated
with honors and a 'gold medal: aab the
age of eighteen. With this founda-
Mr. G. L. Desearats. •
icon young Desharots went out and
tested his training in practical work
in the field. ,He served for a long
time as engineer on canal construc-
tion and other public works. He
was for a time assistant to the lathe
Hon. John Page, chief engineer- of
canals. He was inspector of rail-
ways
ailways. and canals' in, the Province. of
British Columbia. He had charge
of the work on the Galops canal
from 1896 to 1899. For three years
he was connected with the hydro-
graphic survey of the- St. Lawrence.
Be re=built and enlarged the Sorel
Shiliyard: in 1901. Iui the meantime,
while engagedin practical work in
the field, he pursued his studies in
the scientific basis of his profession,
and in the same` year when he had
chaa;rge of the enlargement of the
Sorel shipyard he was awarded the
degree of bachelor of arts and
sciences.
• Conies of Good. Faintly..
Mr. Desbarats conies of a family
which had already made, its, mark
in the public service of Canada. His
father, Mr. George E. Desbarats,
was the first Queen's Printer of the
Dominion. He is connected by mar-
riage with the late fair R. W. Seott,
his wife having been Mins .Lillian
Scott, daughter of the late Secre-
tary of State, and a sister of Mr.
D'Aroy Scatt,'assistant Chief Com-
missioner of the. Dominion Railway
Board. Mr. Dersbarate' sister has
married into one of the noble faani-
1 ies of the United Kingdom, her
husband being .the -Rt. Hon, 'Wil-
liam, Baron de Blanquiere. The ele
Blan,quiere family, who are, by the
way, well known in Toronto' and
Upper Canada, carne • from France
shortly after the Edict of Nantes
and settled in England., The title.
was bestowed by George III. for
services performed by the head of
the family of that day. -•Francis A,

COLONIAL SYSTEM. DECLINED,
Poringal'' Wits (Ince a Leet4er .in.
Five ,Oceans.
We axe almost indifferent among
the great transformations of the
world. There are few who notice
that Portugal's colonies in Africa
have paussed.:from 'her eiantrol, . A

included India., SiunthAfrica,.

Germany made an agreement and
offered Portugal 1100,000,000. Mea
za•nxbique comes under British in-
fluence and the other districts un-
der german spheres, The Portu-
guese republic .is recognized as ser-
gerain, like Turkey in Egypt, and
with no more than Turkey's power.
Thus vanquishes from the five
oceans ,a spacious colonial system
wtioh promised to rival Spain's.
Portuguese explorers were the first
of modern nations to sailuncharted
seas,
Prince Hemry the Navigator
plunged into the dark Atlantic and
discovered the Azores and. Madeira.
Then• he sailed dawn .the African
coast to Senegal. After himflut-
tered and tacked other caravels of,
ndyrn.g renown. ...Diego oConcame
to the mouths of the :Congo. Bar-
tolomen Diaz passed undaunted
through thirteen clays of storm and
reached the Cape - of Good Hope
Paiea da Gamna crowbed the voy-
ages of these by regrading the ohpe
and reaching the goal of all erplor-
ers—Indus.
In the :meantime Colpmbus had
discovered " America, Spain having
seized the opportunity first offered
to Portugal. A chain of empires
was soon bound in vassalage to
these two kingdoms. Portugal held
Brazil, India, South Africa,/. Gui-
nea, with estates in China and Is-
lands of the Sea. Yet it was under.
a Spanish flag that the greatest of
Portuguese admirals, Magellan,
undertook the eircumnavigartion of
the world.
Portugal's Bary of real renown was
brief. She discovered many remote
l.and•s.that other icings might reign,
and other .nationsmight amass the
wealth of their tributes. -She fell in
1580 tinder the debasing dominion
of Spain. When she emerged tin:,
der the Bragaoza+s in 1640 site was
never to climb again to the heights
of her old glom'. -
It is typical of her centuries of
laggard amp—exits], rule that 'the two
last important acus of her colonial
department in Africa were the sup-
pressing of the quasi -slavery of the
cocoa islands and •the suppression
of the chief industry of Angola,
rum, The expenditures of her rule
in 1911 were $1,000,000 anoie than
her revenuers.
