Vanilla flavoring, a: tea- spoonful for this amount, is always opular, but sometimes one-third Pon or orange to the vanilla is added. Mold into a mound or any shape you choose. You may then sprinkle some nutmeg over it if you choose, as many like this flavoring in a pudding sauce. Set on ice to harden. a Harlequin Hard Saice.--Divide a hard white sauce into three parts. Leave one-third white, work choco- late or cocoa into another third and jelly into the rest. Sift cocoa be- fore working it in and work in enough to'/get a good shade, For a cup of hard sauce four tablespoon- fuls' would not be too much. Cur- rant jelly may be: used to make the red or pink part of the sauce, and a fine cléar grape jelly gives a fine or raspberry color, though a grape jelly of anTinferior quality would give a lavender shade. Put the three colors together in any shape you choose, a mound or a square or something more fancy, but so that each serving will have spme of each color. 'One of the easiest ways to get this is to make the plain brick like a brick of ice cream of several colors. Tree Cake Ieing. -- When hard sauce is colored with cocoa it is easy to put it-on a cake to resemble the icing which is characteristic of the tree cake. The inside of the tree cake may be almost any plain cake preferred, but the chocolate or co- con icing must be put on to resem- ble the bark of a tree, and only a butter icing can be so manipulated. But a tube and point is not needed. Just draw the point of the spoon, rather heavy with the icing rather than clean, in lines across the icing you 'have smoothed on. .

SB ein, A WORD FOR THE HORSE, The Russian Soldier's Prayer for the Noble Animal, In the present devastating -con- flict of nations animals play no in- considerable, share, The horse, in particular, has been. dragged. in great numbers to aid his master in the work of destruction, and, like his master, to suffer in his turn. It is inexpressible to any lover of ani- mals to think that these dumb, pa- tient creatures; with their many lovable traits, are lying. maimed and tortured, enduring, who shall say what agonies, on the fields of the European struggle. The 'Bri- tish Army is in this, as in other re- spects, admirably equipped, and its veterinary organization is declared to be sufficient to cope with all classes of wounded animals. One cannot be sure, however, that the same . merciful = provision exists among the forces of the other com- batants, and there can be no doubt that thousands of disabled horses suffer cruelly until death comes to relieve them. The Germans are said, and we can believe it, to be very harsh and brutal in the treat- ment of their horses. The Russian soldier offers a striking contrast. The large tenderness and the uni- versality of sympathy that, though they have rarely managed in the past to express themselves in- the government of Russia, breathe forth in every page of the best Russian literature are strikingly exempli- fied in the Russian soldier's prayer for his horse--/'0 Lord, for .the humble beasts who with us bear the urden and heat of the day, and offer their guileless lives for the well-being of their countries, we supplicate Thy great tenderness of hearty for Thou byt romiged to save both man and beast, and great is Thy loving kindness, O Master, Saviour of the world."' = It 'would be difficult to imagine anything fur- ther than these words from the spi- rit .of Bernhardi. Auxiliary ser- vices have been organized to assist the authorities in mitigating the hardships of the horses used for Army purposes and in Glasgow. to- ay an appeal is being made for funds for this humane purpose.-- h Paper. me eee a dh Too Much for a Lawyer.

But it is an absolutely truthful one. Ki is the Cabinet. With certain limit- | ations, he is the House 'of Lords and the House of Commons, and the Royal family.

The leaders of every party in England recognized that this war threatened the very life of the Em- pire. Britannia 'is fighting with her back against the wall. They did the very sensible and very extraor- dinary thing of selecting the biggest man they had in stock to handle the war for England. Then they did the equally sensible and positively revolutionary thing of letting him handle it. . TALE Down to Brass Tacks. Kitchener has 'a distressing way of getting down to brass tacks in doing business, ' There was a Par: liamentary inquiry into certain failures to feed and clothe the new recruits--for while Parliament -is obedient it is not muzzled. The fact was shown that requisitions for necessary supplies were shuffled through half a dozen hands before they were filled. = It is nob. likely that Kitchener had known. \ofithe delay or the cause. He is not emnis- |: cient. He got reports by telephone of the revelations. Before the clam- oring on the floor had ended' Kitch-| ener 'had sent a telegram to every officer in command at a recruiting station.

His subordin- ates are told to buy cheap when they can spare time--but that hours are worth any premium. Sent Him Back to Work. A manufacturer of khaki called at the War Office to ask for a commis- sion. In time he was ushered into Kitchener's office.
