PluviUs Policies Cover Disappoint, went of holiday Makers. What are called "Pluvius poli- cies" carie into operation in Lon- don, England; this month. This is an ingenious method of insurance devised to indemnify holiday-mak- ers for loss or disappointment due to wet weather during the summer. Thousands of holiday-makers took advantage of the scheme last sum- mer. Almost every seaside resort in the country comes within the scope of the policy. Any sunt per day or week may be insured in proportion to the prem- ium ramium paid. There are four forms of policy: ,. Policy "A"—To pay for each separate week in which there ase three or more days of rain, amount- ing on each day to more than «20 of an inch. Policy "B"—To pay for every day on whiell the rainfall amounts to mare than .20 of an inch. Policy. "C" -To pay for the sec- ond and every additional rainy day •in each week, or :in every sepa,nate week, on which the rainfall amounts to mare than .15 of an inch. Policy "D" (short periods of four consecutive days)—To pay for every day on which the rainfall amounts to more than .20 of an : inch. (A week -end policy), The premiums vary from 15s. to 43 ($3.60 to $15), the former secure ing £6 ($30) a week, and -the latter 24 ($120) a week under • policy "A,"in which rain of the amount stipulated falls. Of -courtise, larger insurances can be arranged. The rates for the other policies . vary only slightly. It is also possible. for persons giv- ing private garden parties and other out -door funetiona where no money is taken to obtain a. wet wea- ther insurance for amounts to he mutually agreed upon; to arrange compensation for certain specified amounts ei rainfall within 'twenty: four or twelve hours, as 'they de= sire. • .14 Sacrificing Herself. "Youmustn't dance " so many dances, child. You'll exhaust vont- self." "But this is acharity ball auntie. This is for the poor." Nothing jolts an egotist sosuc- cessfully as being ignored. Most of us can't even do our duty without making 'a fuss about it. NEW ATLANTIC LINERS. Two Splendid Vessels for the Cana- dian Pacific. This season will see the Atlantic servioe of the Canadian Pacific aug- mented by the addition of two new steamers. These two vessels will be of the one class cabin type, which are becoming so popular. Barclay Curie & Company, of Glasgow, se- cured the contract for the building of the ships somemonths ago, and the construction is well under way. They are being specially construct- ed for the Atlantic service and will contain every possible convenience for the comfort of passengers. They will be of the "one class" type, with passenger accommodation for 520 second, and 1,200 third class. :These new vessels have been named the "Missanbi" and the "Meta- gama." Their length will be of 520 feet,greatest breadth 64 feet, while the breadth of the passenger deck will be 41 feet. Each vessel will have a dead weightecapaoity of 7,950 tons, with an approximate cargo capacity for 6,000 tons. The famous cruiser stern, which is the feature of the new Empress recent- ly placed on the Pacific coast; is be ing introduced, -and the new ships will also have six complete steel decks. In order to ensure safety the hulls are to bre sub -divided by water -tight doors and bulkheads, so as to be capable of floating when three compartments are open. These water -tight bulkheads and doors will be automatically con- trolled from the bridge. The speed of each vessel will be 15 knots, with a draught of 27.5. As for the in- terior of the vessels, each second- class state room will. be .fitted with a wardrobe and chest of drawers, folding lavatory with mirror, and other conveniences.The public rooms will be dining saloon, smok- ing room, lounge and. drawing room:. The .refri- gerating plant will be capable of snaking 300 lbs. of ice per eight hours: The vesselswill be heated and ventislated on the thermo - tank system., changing the air eight times each hour. There will also bea, printing planet on board each ship. it llama,* utetteiedla HOM Seasonable 4-Amal ies, Even the possessor of a slender purse may, eonactimes indulge in .a fo ec luxuriee, provided she has the art of stset'ciiing; the household ,dol- lar. Some of the economical ways are cutting -dawit the meat'' bills and avoiding the ;alluring baled- and deli- cacy shops. As far as possible use only fresh vegetables, and balite these by having the less .expensive ones at least every other' day. Dandelions can be had for the pick- ing; cabbage,` both young and old, is rea•sonable, and rhubarb, as an accompaniment to the meat "coarse as well as for all kinds of desserts, is most excellent. (Remember all measurementsare level; sift flour before measuring and use a graded half-pint cup.) I)audelion Salt a1.—pick over and wash very carefully, using only the tender inner leaves; lay in 'cold water to beoome crisp, then place in salad howl' and grate a .little • onion over.

As soon as tender -sift the flour over and shake the :saucepan so all peas are coated, then season with salt, sugar and pepper. Sprinkle the mint over the butter, which should he melted: Let this_ steam a few moments, shaking « the saucepan well.

Season. we11, then serve in; centre of plat- ter surrounded with tlhe peas. Strawberry B©xee.-Method : Cut two-inch sponge cake into: strips three by two. With a slender knife out out the centre so as to form a box. Have ready picked and sugar- ed strawberries. If they are'small leave them .whale, otherwise they may be sliced. Fill the boxes just before serving, heaping them quite full.

To clean a, copper kettle rub with a dry chamois skin. Be careful not to keep vegetables in a warns damp place else they will surely mould, In ironing fine silks and muslins, place a- pieoe of fine 'cambric ' be- tween the 'iron and the material. Matting may be cleaned by wash- ing it • with water in which bran has been boiled, or in weak salt wa- ter. Dry it well with a dorsi. If, when doing up lace curtains, sheets of fine white paper 'be placed betwe•em before washing, they will not stick and will look like' new. Unbleached muslin shrinks very much when- washing. When mak- ing it up an extra inch a yard should be allowed for this. To set growing house plants in the bathtub and spray them with a bath :spray is one of the , best me- thods of giving their leaves the ne- cessary moisture. Overalls and such heavy articles. should be dipped in the tub of wa- ter, then laid on the washboard, thoroughly ; soaped and scrubbed with a scrubbing brush. . To make a oat stay in "a new home, rub its forepaws with but- ter, a proceeding that is said to destroy the scent of the odd home. For curly bacon out it very thin and 'half cook it in boiling water, then cut it, fasten in shape with a toothpick and broil it over the- fire. Seeds not sufficiently ripe will float in water, but when arrived at full maturity they will sink to the' bottom, and this is proof that they are good to plant. Toon much coffee, too much starchy food, and too many eweets are the cause ofmore irritable nerves and depression in the spring than hard work or even late hours. Remember that prelssing„ is not ironing. The iron should be hot enough to remove the creases and should be passed very slowly over the goods, or held where, it needs fulling in. The richer the cake the more easily it is :spoiled if the oven is too hot. As soon as the cake has risen and taken a rich. brown color the. heat should be lessened to what the cook knows as a "soaking heat," and the cake should, be kept in this moderate heat. DID THE WOUIi' Grow Strong' on alight Food. You ean't grow strong by merely exercising. 'You must have food--- the ood—the kind you can .digest and assimi- late. Unless the food you eat is digest- ed it adds to the burden the diges- tive organs have naturally to carry. This often means a nervous break- down. "About a' year ago," writes an Eastern lady, "I had quite a seri- ous nervous breakdown caused, as I believed, by overwork and worry, i ,also suffered untold nnisery from clyepepsia.

On May 1 a man who had driven over the roads between Centreville and Flaronceville, N.B., declared that the show was still ten feet deep on them,•' Two old members of the I.C.R. roundhouse staff were super- annuated at St .John, N.B., in the persons of James Golding, night foreman., and ,Edward Ru,ssell,; loco- motive fitter. The farmer was given a club bag by his fellow employes and ..the : latter a gold locket and sham, Each had been for many years in the employ of the I.C.R. Seven hundred cards were sent out in Halifax, asking citizens to attend a meeting for the formation of a civic 'improvement; league. Only three responded to the call.

Late General Nogi's Sound Rules for Conduct. The lane General Nogi, who en- joys the unreserved admiration of the Japanese, on the might of the funeral of the Date Emperor, issued a note of disciplinary` instructions far the pupilsof the grammar grade of the Peers' School. The note con- tains fourteen instructions, and truly reflects the spirit with which the late general ;lied the pupils of - the school., Tbe ;gist of the instruc- tions is as follows•: Keep your mouth closed. He who has always his: mouth open shows that his mind is blank. Mind what you are looking at. One whose eye is ialways wandering tells that his mind is also wander- ing. When paying yyOur respects, look at the person whom you are salut- ing. • moo, not forget your coat -of -arms, family standing and ancestors. Due respect to your ancestors is iinpo:r- tant _ A boy should act like a boy. Avoid be•earning effeminate. Never indulge, in luxury. There is nothing that makes a fool of a manlike luxury. .

Monarchs Attended by Doctors Who aro Always on Ditty. From all quarters of . Europe comes news of ailing monarchs or monarchs -to -be, There is hardly a royal family on the continent that can point to universal good health as a family asset. The Arhduke Franz Ferdinand, heir=.presumptive to the thrones of Austria-Hungary, is said to be ;suffering' from con sumptio;n, Ding Alfonso of Spain is suffering from a weak throat, while one of 'his sons is deaf and dumb; the young czarewitch has been seriously afflicted; the Ger- Main Crown Prince, according to; constant report,. is suffering from a throat malady that, carried off his ,grandfather. Of late years -there has been a frightfully high death rate among European rulers. In three little more than a decade since the death of 'Queen Victoria no less than._, nine Sovereigns have passed away -the King of Norway and Sweden, King Leopold of Belgium, King Carlos sof; Porltugal, King Alexander of Ber- rie, King Edward of England, two kings of Denmark, and two grand dukes. of Luxembourg. Extraordinary precautions are taken to maintain the Ileal& l of all European monarchs, hundreds of tihousands of dolla rs being spent every year in retaining the best physicians and surgeons in the world in almost day to day atten- dance upon the kings and queens.' Also heavy insurance is carried.' The Czar of Russia is insured for, $4,000,000 in an English coanipany, which,, in turn, distributed the amount of risk among other leading companies, Now there are actually thirty-three physicians, surgeons,' dentists,' and other specialists . on. the medical staff at the English` court. _ • . There . are five physicians, eadh receiving $5,000 a year:, Sir Fran- cis anciis Laking is tate chief. Each of the King's surgeons receives $7,500r per annum, and none of them, wheal the' King is cin good Health, ever sees his Majesty unless as one o his guests. The lave -surgeons attached to the. Royal'house'hold are Sir Frederi:clk. Treves, Sir Havelock Charles, Sir .Rickman Goldee, Sir Alfred Fripp,' and Sir .William Cheyne. Thus be,' tween Ohysicians and ,surgeons .$62,-, 500 per annum is spent in securing medical and surgical attendance for the sovereigns. INFORMATION FOlt INVENTORS Messrs.
