Constance and Marion Hill were visiting their .grandmother in the East. Their own home was in the west, and they had come all the Hong journey with Grandmother Hill and 'Miele Paul. They had seen many wonderful things, but they had never seen a lighthouse. To go sailing with Uncle Paul was the best fun possible ; and they ran down to the boat landing feeling sure that they would have a happy morning. Uncle Paul hoisted the sail, and soon they were sailing away toward White Island Light. "What does a lighthouse look like 2" Constance asked, as they sailed by a big ship that was lying at anchor. "Wait and see," said Uncle Paul, nodding his head, and looking as if a lighthouse were something very mysterious indeed. "See that funny stone tower built on that ledge !" exclaimed Marion, as she pointed toward a rooky is- land. "That's the lighthouse," said Uncle Paul. "Look out for your heads!" And the little girls crouch- ed low in the boat as the big main- sail swung over and Uncle Paul guided the sloop toward the wharf. There was a man on the wharf, who called out, "Glad to see you Captain Hill !" and in a moment he had reached down and had swung first Marion and then Constance safely on shore. "Come over to see my lighthouse —that is, mine and the govern- ments ?" he asked. with a friendly nod and a pleasant little laugh. He led the way up a rough path to the stone tower, and there he opened a door, and the little girls followed hien into a kitchen. It was the cleanest, shiniest little room that Constance and Marion had ever :seen. The stove shone like a mirror, and two brass kettles fairly twinkled with brightness. On one side of the room there were shelves filled with silvery tins, and even the theirs and table seemed bright. "It's just Iike a picture kitchen," ,declared Marion, admiringly; and Captain Morrison as Uncle Paul called the lighthouse keeper, smiled and nodded again, •and seemed to think it a great compliment. Then he led, the way up a narrow stone stairway, and into a little xoom where the big lamp stood. Constance and Marion listened eagerly to the story of the lamp, how it was lighted every night at sunset. and kept burning until sun- rise, to warn ships away frons the clang -nuts rocks. On the sail home Uncle Paul told them pbout the different lighthouses along 'the coast, where lamp after lamp, like the one they had just ,seen, warned travelers on the sea, and kept thew from danger. He told them about twin lights at the en- trance of harbors, and about revolv- ing lights. "And dues. the government own all the lighthouses'" questioned tonstancee "Every one." answered Uncle Paul. smilingly. And then they talked about the government's ships the forests and parks, and the roads eend ail the remavkable things that the government does for the people. e-Y.'oiit:h's Companion. GERMANY'S.

With thin; impure blood they •start life with a handicap too great to win success and happiness. Pure, red blood means healthful growth, strong nerves, a clear brain and a good digestion, In a word, pure blood is the foundation of health. The signs of thin, impure blood are many and unmistakable. The pale, irritable bby or girl; who has no o.ppetite or ambition, is always tired out, inelancholy, short of breath, and who does not grow strong, is the victim of anaemia, or bloodlessness --the greatest enemy of youth. There is just one thing to do for these boys and girls—build up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. You can't afford to experiment with ether remedies for there must he no guesswork in the treatment of anaemia. Through neglect or wrong treatment anae- mia gradually develops into the pernicious form which is practical- ly incurable. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills work directly on the blood, giving it just the elements which it lacks. In this svay these Pills build up every organ and nerve in the body. thus developing strong, rugged boys and girls. Miss Anna Loseke, Grand Forks, B.C., says: "I think that before taking Dr, Williams' Pink Pills I was one of the most miserable girls alive. I was hardly ever free from awful headaches, was as pale as a ghost, and could not go upstairs without stopping to rest. Now since taking the Pills the headaches have gone, my appetite is good and I am equal to almost any exertion, and you may be sure I will always recom- mend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

Soeiatist M.P. Is in implacable Fighter for the Cause. Philip Snowden, M.P. for Black- burn, England, who has been spend- ing a few days in Toronto with his I clever wife, is one d the heroes and leaders of the Socialist movement in Britain. His election in Black- burn seven years ago was the first big election win for the Socialists. Mr. Snowden, now in his fiftieth year, is an apostle of revolutioin rather than reform. He has the re- t putation of being sttch a►^ thorough Socialist that he would willingly go to the stake for the. cause. Snowden ! cares nothing for himself, his per- sonal success and political rewards. He is a zealot. Lloyd George's' iLrs. Philip Snowden. Liberalism is no more pleasing to women. Men—ab—are men. Men are hien. And--ah—women are women. Nature made thein--.ah— different. An • Act of Parliament cannot make them—ash—the same, "In the face of this astonishing piece of information how could they go on?" ended Mrs. Snowden amid ironical cheers and laughter. Satire on Mrs. Ward. Her satire on the attitude of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the noted novel- ist, toward the suffrage movement. was also very funny. She said that Mrs. Ward was not in .favor of votes for women, and .then folding her hands and turning her •eyes clown - ward she said in prayerful tones "for which we may be truly grate- ful. Amen," She had no patience with any specimen of arrested development. "Havelock Ellis has described the Mr. Philip Snowden, M.P. womanly woman as a cross between an -angel and an idiot," says Mrs. Snowden. "Mr, Ellis knew what he was writing about. It is the anti= suffragist that would make 'women coarse, never permitting her to for- get her sex," "If the suffrage movement means one thine, more than another, it him than the Conservatism of Bon- ar Law and Austen Chamberlain. Lloyd George aims to reform abuses and readjust a deranged system of social life. Snowden•wants revolu- tion—bloodless, but nevertheless radical and, absolute. Efforts to reform society, he deems, were hurtful trifling he would cut under the whole fabric of society as it is and send it tottering into collapse. Liberalism he regards as more dangerous to his cause than Con- servatism—the latter holds out no hope of a change and in a sense just- ifies revolt, but Liberalism, with its forms, lessens the strength of So- cialism and kills its nerve: Like An Accuser. Snowden is numbered with the Labor members, but he is not of these. They are too yielding for him. His voice is shrill, and as he speaks in the House of Commons he points a long lean finger, accuser - like, at. the man he attacking, and that man is frequently Lloyd George. Mrs. Snowden is an ardent suff- ragist• -but not a militant. She does not agree with the Pankhurst methods, hub the speaks" sympath- etically of the militants and defines them as being more sinned against by ''the Government than sinning. Mr.s, Snowden is a clever little ,woman, with a voice as clear es a bell and a pronounced turn for log - ice" argument og-icalargument and sarcasm. Moron- tonians will remember that she spoke in Massey Hall some years ago just after Mrs. Pankhurst had been here. She has the saving touch of humor that keeps her, audience in good spirits, and when she spoke here, one of her most pronounced hits was a burlesue of APusten Chain berlaia.

Meiou and Pineapple Jam. Six pounds of melon (three rather small ones), about a pound and a hall of pineapple either fresh or tinned, four pounds of sugar, two lemons.. After taking off the skin in the or- dinary way pare the "melons .again and this second paring chop rather finely. Out the remainder • of the melons into half inch dice, mix with them the minced melon, the finely grated rinds of the lemons and the sugar ,and macerate until the fol- lowing day. Out the pineapple into very small pieces and leave it cov- ered over night. To the trimmings of a fresh pine or the juice from tin- ned pineapple add the pulp and seeds taken from the melons; bare- ly cover with water, boil gently for about forty minutes, then strain and if necessary boil again until reduc- ed to a teacupful. Next day boil the melon, sugar and liquid from the seeds gently for an hour, then pub in the pineapple. About twenty minutes subsequent boiling usually thickens it sufficiently, the lemon juice being added five minutes be- fore completing the process. Melon and Plant Jain. Four pounds of melon (two rather small, firm ones), four pounds of red plums five pounds of sugar. Halve and stone the plums and mix with them about half of the sugar. After removing a thick paring ,from the melons, cut them into half inch dice and add the remainder of the sugar. Cover the pulp and seeds of the .melons and the stones taken from the plums with water, boil them foi about half an jiiour, then strain. If necessary reduce the liquid to a. teacupful by rapid boiling; remove the kernels from the stones and mix thein with the plums. Allow the whole to sband covered in separate vessels for a day and a night. When ready boil the melon and liquid from the seeds for forty minutes, then pub in the ptums and continue the slow boiling until it sets lightly when tested—usually from thirty to forty minutes 'longer. Pickled McIon. Two sounds of melon, one pound of sugar, two le- tae1715; two pints of good vinegar, efour teaspoonfuls of peppercorns, two teaspoonfulsof allspice, twelve cloves, a level' teaspoonful of salt. After paring the- melon cut it into pieces an inch wide and three inches long, pour over them the vinegar and cover closely. On the third day following drain off and heat the vinegar, and when nearly boiling, add the melon and finely grated rinds of the lemons. As the pieces of melon become clear transfer them to a dry jar. When all are done mix with the •boiling vinegar the sugar, spice and salt, boil it slowly for twenty minutes and to- ward the end add the juice of the lemons, also a little more vinegar should not enough remain to fill the jar or jars almost to thebrim. Pour it over the melon while boiling and fasten down immediately. " The pickle will keep almost indefinitely in screw topped jars or closely seal- ed bottles. 11,Lelon Coiupote. A fairly ripe melon half a pint of fruit juice, su- gar, arrowroot, lemon juice or other flavoring. A"very thick par- ing must be taken off the melon, or two thinner ones, mixing the inner. one and the seeds and pulp with the fruit .stewed to provide the juice. The red juice yielded .byred currants gives the best effect,. though in point of flavor the oom- pate is no less good when maspberry; red plum or 'even • "clear rhubarb juice or tomato syrup takes its place. The fruit from which the juice is extracted should be slowly cooked with just a little water in a jar or enamelled pan. Usually the juice is sufficiently clear when pass- ed through a fine strainer, but if not strain it through a scalded jelly bag or old table napkin tied to the lege of a reversed chair.

What an absurdity this is I In manual labor the man or woman or forty is at the best; full of experi- ence and expert from long I actice, steady in the settling -process work- ed by the years, and probably free from the emotional disturbances that occasionally interfere with" work in the younger and more sus- ceptible years. .As to brain work one is just coming into one's king- dom at the age of forty, discovering one's territory, and snare of outly- ing districts yet to be explored, The artist, the sculptor, the musician, the :scientist, the .litterateur know this well. He is adding every day to the stores of a well -garnered tn- telligenee, and increasing them by the mere process of drawing them out and utilizing them, applying them to his work, and finding new riches in every morsel of them. And tOEien there are the qualities of the worker which improve with years. At forty one is more patient, more persevering, more resolute and in- tent, better fortified against the na tura.l inertia of human mature;: in other words;, better inured in that self -conquest which 'is inseparable from, ,because necessary to, sustain- ed effort. Barely the man or woman of forty. has the advantage in all these 'ways over juniors of twenty- five or thirty. low three-quarters of a pound of sugar. Boil the two together to a thick syrup, which usually takes about anhour, and skim when ne- eessary. Either hot or cold this will be found a good sauce to serve with blanc mange or farinaceous pud- dings; is also forms a capital basis for fruit compote or a good stebsbi- tute for sherry when making a trifle and it is easily stiffened by adding gelatine or arrowroot. It *ill keep for a' year or two in screw top jars. Red Bramble, Jelly. -- Unripe blackberries, sugar; lemons. Gather the 'brambles before they begin to turn black. Remove the stalks, wash well, then cover then with wa• ter. Boil them steadily for half an hour, bruising tlemwell at the side of the pan as soon as they begin to soften. The slow process of strain- ing through a jelly bag is not really necessary, as the jelly is quite -,clear when first passed through a colan- der and afterward through a strainer ---both enamelled, of course, since metal would destroy its beau- tiful red color. And it is well worth while to leave the residue draining on inclined dishes or large plates for two or three days, as the juice which runs off is so clear and red as to be a good substitute for the juice of red currants. For each pint of liquid add from three-quar- ter to one pound of good preserving sugar, according to degree of sweet- ness liked, and boil the two to- gebhee until it stiffens when tested. If caught at the right moment it will set when it has boiled for about twenty minutes, but once this stage is passed the boiling must be contin- ued for at least twenty minutes longer. Lemon juice to taste' should be added when the jelly is nearly ready. The sub -acid flavor of this jelly is,very agreeable in a Swiss roll or Victoria sandwich. When boiled only to a thick syrup and stored in screwton jars, it will keep good for months, and will be found useful to serve either hot or cold with blanc mange or plain souffles or farinaceous puddings. Household hints. To remove the rusty appearance from suede shoes or slippers use a mixture of olive oil and ink in equal parts. Water when macaroni has been boiled in it makes a nice thin starch for lingerie garments. Also gives a pretty gloss to colored ginghams. When washing china with gilt up- on it, never use soda. Rub- a little soap on the dishcloth to make a nice lather, then rinse in' clear cold wa- ter. The up-to-date housewife eabooes all heavy cooking utensils. Those of light aluminum, granite and double - plated tin are great savers of en- ergy. If you spill tea on, a tablecloth cover it with common salt and leave it on for a while. When the cloth is washed, all stains will have dis- appeared. Before washing fine lace or mus- lin collars and suffs, baste them to a piece of heavier muslin and it will not be apt to stretch or tear in the process of 'laundering. A good plan is to keep 'buttons in glass bottles. A glance tells you exactly what is inside, thus saving a• good deal of time which would be taken up in turning over the but- tons if put in a box. Corks may be made airtight and watertight by keeping them immers- ed in oil for five minutes. To remove coffee stains, mix equal parts of yolk of egg and gly- cerine, apply to the stain, and ale low to dry on. For a light silk gar anent the glycerine should Abe mixed with water instead of yolk of egg,,, • Should the, inkpot be accidentally. upset on the taibleeloth or carpet;. ;7, Decals-iuu oiu,cnor151115101 O WLL LE?
