Until comparatively recent years it has been used by the well-to-do only as a savory at tlie end of an ample meal, and by the field labor- ers in many of the agricultural dis- tricts as thc basis of their midday dinner. But within thc last twenty - live years it has been scientifically demonstrated as a cheap and nutri- tious substitute for meat. Now an economic food may be de- fined as one which yields the high- est percentage of proteid or nitro- genous constituents at the lowest price, and for the purpose of this article it is proposed to compare the relative claims of beef, the most generally used animal source of proteid, and of cheese, perhaps tho least KO. Comparing the relative economic value of beef and cheese, Mathew Williams ("Chemistry of Cook- ery") maintains tlrat 1 pound of average cheese contains as much nutriment as 3 pounds of an ox or a sheep as prepared for sale by tho butcher, or, in other words, a cheese weighing 20 pounds supplies u.s much nutriment as a sheep of 60 |x>unds, as it hangs in thc butcher's shop. Estimated by the calory, or heat st.-indai'l, i.e., the amount of heat required to raise I pound of water '1 degrees, Fahrenheit, the fuel value ' of cheese is 1.303, compared with that of beef .G'2'J, or rather more half cups cooked lima beans, one- half teaspoon salt, two tablespoon* than double, olive oil, one-eighth teaspoon pep- Beef, therefore, is a dear food, per, one tal> U-s|x>on vinegar, let- cheese a cheap one.

CAT ti LARDED BODY. Flew at an Intruder From Slionl- at an Intruder From der of the Corpse. An astonishing tale of a cat's fidelity and sorrow- since cats am supposed to be less devoted to peo- ple than dogs- -was told at a Chel- sea (England) inquest. Thi! iii'|u, i A ,i. . held on the body of Sarah Ann Turnroe, aged seven ty, the widow of an artist, of Oor- trude, Street, Chelsea, who was found dead in bed with the cat on her shoulder. Mrs. Turnroe ap- peared to bo asleep, and when a boy touched her the cat flew at him. Reared from kitten hood by Mrs. Turnroe, the cat by name Minnio had been her closest companion for fifteen years. By her last vigil Minnie showed that cats can l>e a faithful and loving as dogs. But the death of her mistreat proved the death of the cat. The cat for days was inconsolable, and had to be drowned ae the/ most humane way to end its grief. At the inquest Mrs. (Jriffilhs, at whose house Mrs. Turnroo lived, stated that when her little boy took three (jiiartH strawberries, two me- dium sized poineapplts cut into thin slices, then cubed. Put the fruit with two pounds granulated sugar in alternate layers in a granite pre- serve kettle, and let stand till juice runs. Then add the juice of one lemon arid one orange.

(Joldcn Text, Luke 7. 28. Verse 2. Versa 1, which is not a part of our lesson passage, reads, ''And it came to pass when Jesus had finished comonding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and prrach in their cities." Following the best harmonics of the Goupelfl we must insert at this point in the narrative; tho incidents of tho healing of tho centurion's servant and the raising of the, widow's son at Nain (Luke 7. 1-17). Both inci- dents belong to the preaching tour referred to in the versi; just quoted. News of the marvelous works of tho Christ rruehed John the Bap- tist in his prison at Maoliaerus, on tho upper end of Jhe Dead Sea, where an imposing castle, served tho double purpose of palace and dun- geon. 3. Art thou he ? -The uncertain- ty in the. mind of the l!:iptist was real, not affected. StiH it was not an evidence of disbelief, but rather <if a troubled uncertainty born of disappointment and prison hard- ships. 4. The things which ye hear and see The marvelous authoritative teaching concerning the kingdom and the words of healing and bene- ficence performed. 0. The poor have good tidings proiiched to them- Jesus every- where lays as much stress. upon his teachings as upon his miracles. 13. And all the prophets and tn law Those of the Old Testament. 14. This is Elijah, that is to come Tho prophecy referred to is tlvat of Mai. 4. 5, "Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come." Jesus hints that his hearers may be unwilling to believe his statement concerning John. Their unbelief would be natural in view of John's present imprisonment and humilia- tion, and more particularly in view of the fact that they expected a personal return of Elijah and not the coming of another prophet of similar authority. 15. Ears to he^ir Power to com- prehend. 16. This generation The Phari- wcs and scribes who are pleased with neither John nor himself. These are compared with children in the streets playing at weddings and funerals, and quarreling with each other a.s they play. 19.

Wisdom is justified by her works The superiority cf the religion of John and Jesus is proved by the lives of their disciples. *. EXCELLENT FATHER.

A remarkable story of the fatal effects of taking snuff that has been packed in "tin-foil'i was reported a few days ago to one of the leading Swiss medical journals by Dr. E. Stadler. A woman, 33 years of age, saw him in May, 1010, who showed many symptoms of lead poisoning. After various relapses she died at the end of last November. It was only after her death that the doc- tor discovered the habit that had led to her d>;ath. She had undoubt- edly died of lead poisoning; every gymptom was there; and the post- mortem confirmed the doctor's sus- picions. Afterwards it was discovered that ! the woman had during the past few ; years been a great snuff-taker. Her j habit was to buy the snuff in pack- ' ets enclosed in tin-foil. After open- ing a packet she would have a pinch or two, squeeze it up, and put it in her pocket, then feel for it every now and then and again take an- other pinch. The tin-foil evidently got mixed up with the snuff, of which she took about ten grams daily. Analyses of similar packets have now been made, and have shown that the moist alkaline snuff has a chemical action ou, the foil. The foil contained 89.9 per cent, of lead, and the snuff contained on an aver- age 3% per cent, of lead. She must, therefore, have taken into her nostrils 175 milligrammes of lead daily. Out of this it was only necessary for her to absorb eight or ten milligrammes to have produced all the symptoms observed. Splendid Barn and Stable* at the Provincial Prison Farm at Guelph.

Raymond pool room proprietors will pay a license fee of $2000 this year. Coronation has let the contract for a town well 500 feet deep if ne- cessary. Eight car loads of settlers' ef- ' fects have been unloaded at Botha so far this year. Thirty thousand dollars will be spent on a new school building and equipment at Olds this year. The C.X.It. is building a large four-pen stock yard at Camrose for the convenience of shippers. Daysland Agricultural Society faces a deficit of $1,000, but is plan- ning the best fall fair ever for 1012. Coronation is asking the interior department to establish a sub- agency of Dominion lands in that town. Eight dollars a head is the pre- vailing price for dairy cows at auc- tion sales in the Didsbury district Ihis spring. There were 83 towns in Albert* after the new Ogilvie mill, but Med- icine Hat and its cheap gas MOBMJ the industry. Twenty men arc at present em- ; ployed on the caustruction of the I new $45,000 federal building being erected in Nehon. The proposition Lo plate all side- walks constructed in future away from tho curb was endorsed by the Regina city council. A great many fvsh have been caught this spring by K-- ludian fish traps along the creeks that run into Okanagan lake. Wainwright Athletic Association has just donated $200 of its funds for prizes at the town's first fall fair in September. A party of surveyors are at work with a view to reporting on th feasibility of draining the Hay Lakes into Bittern Lake. Four thousand dollars worth ol government seed grain will be available for farmers in the Lloyd- minster district this year. By a unanimous vote Raymond council decided to ask the provin- cial government to prohibit pool rooms within the town. Considerable hay and grain is be- ing pUunted at Okanagan Falls this spring. At one ranch peas are be- ing planted expressly for hog feed. . A large territory north of C'arl- stadt was burned over last week by prairie fires, but no casualties or loss of property have been report- ed. One man. Peter Harrold, east of Carlstadt, lost everything he had from a prairie fire. No less than fifteen new traction engines have been unloaded from the oars in. Carlstadt this spring and there are more on the way. More than fifty big tractors, repre- senting ntany different makes, are at work breaking land in this dis- trict at the present time.

Seeing tho boy, Minnio was roused to such an extraordi- nary fury in its attempts to pre- vent his approach to her divid mis- tress that she flew at the boy, knocking the, teacup out of bis hand. The cat was all black except for) a white pa<tch on her chest. She showed difitress whenever Mrs. Tnrnroe went away for the, day or two, calling dismally for the day to- gether. Mr Turnroe died a year ago, and the cat then visibly grieved and moped for his death.

What went ye. out in the wilderness to behold ?- We are per- mitted in the passage which follows to see John through tho eyes of Je BUS. To him tJie great forerunner of the.

In Malachi it is thus Jehovah himself who sneaks of his own coming. This direct speech in the first person all of tho ovangclists change into an address of Jehovah to the Messiah (compart! Mark 1. 2; Luke 1. 76; 7. 27), which suggests that perhaps they are quoting not directly from Malachi, but. from some common paraphrase, in which tho change had already been made. 11.

Homo Stirred by Kobbory of tho It. million dl San (inotona. The faithful who attend tho Church of Sant Andrea della Valle, in the Corse Vittoria Emmariuele, Rome, are much concerned over a gross act of sacrilege. A famous statue, known as the Bambino di Sail tlaetana, has been despoiled by conscienceless marauders of all the jewels which had been preacnttxl to it by grateful devotees. Miracu- lous virtue was attributed to the "bambino." Many people who*e devout prayers murmured before the holy imago had received the desired answer, testified their gra- titude for the spiritual or temporal blessing received by presenting gifts to adorn the statue. The full value of these donations is not accurately known, but it is estimated to be between $4,000 and $5,000. An incomplete list of the jewels with which the statue wa adorned is given by the "Messag- gero " and comprise-s a crown of gold set with brilliants and rubies, pearl necklace, gold star set with large diamonds, gold belt with em- erald c.lap, gold snake-shaped clasp with turquoise.s, twelve gold bracelets set with precious stones, J five chains of pure gold with many! gold medoJlions, twenty gold ringis J set with pearls, diamonds, and other jewels. It is presumed that the thieve* hid themselves in tho church after the evening service, which was con- tinued to a late hour, and made tlieir escape in the morning, when the church was opened, as the doors show no signs of having been forced, and the windows are intact. * She Mr. Dubb is always telling wfiat he is going to do.

The average life of a steel bridge is fifty years, yet elm piles supporting the; foundation of London Bridge were found to be in good condition after u lapse of 800 years. Wood that has to stand for a very considerable time, suoh as piles, is now creo-| Boted, and the process is something ] more than the mere daubing of a! preservative over the timber. Cre- osote is really a heavy oil distilled from coal-ta-r. The wood to bo sub- jected to the preservative is first' seasoned in the ordinary way. It is then placed in an enormous air-' tight steel drum. The air from this' drum is extracted, so that a vacu-l uni is created, and the creosote is then pumped into the chamber at great heat and pressure. Natural- 1 ly, tho creosote liquid is literally forced several inches into the wood;; in faco, the process increases the' weight of the wood by ten pounds per cubic foot. Parliamentary Committee Admits Glasgow')* Claim. Glasgow is proud in the fact thai she is now really "the second city in the Empire," with a population, of over a million. But it has coat her eighteen days' hard fighting in the committee rooms of the Bri'ish House of Commons, and an exo' n- diture of $250,000 on lawyers and witnesses. It haa been achieved by extend- ing the boundaries so as to abiorb Govan, Patrick, Pollockshawe, and sixteen wnaller suburbs withia the city administration. But even now the pinnacle gained is a precarious one. Birmingham, vith its surroundings, come.s close behind. Calcutta and Bombay have more inhabitants, though their ekins are colored,, so, perhaps, they count at a lower ratio, while if Manchester incorporates Salford and her other offshoots, she will beat all competitors outside Lon- don. But for the moment GJasgow is satisfied, and so are the Parlia- mentary lawyers who adjust these matters before the House of Com- mons select committee for haud- eome fees. CATS USED BY SMUGGLERS.
