NY. G. GIFFLER, Depot Agent The King's Record. It is characteristic of the keen interest that King George is taking in the men who are fighting for Britain Britain against the Kaiser and His Huns that he has ordered a record to be kept at Buckingham Palace of the names of all those serving in any capacity who have been killed during the war. When the proper time arrives, it is his Majesty's intention intention to place a suitable tablet to their memory, either in the private chapel at his London residence or in the Chapel Royal, St- James. When the sad list is completed, it will be handsomely bound and placed in the royal archives at Windsor Castle, close to where a similar list of the African War is kept.

Roast Goose.--Roast goose is not worth much in a family which knows nothing about carving. The shrinkage shrinkage in coo-king is great, but this INVENT- i can be in large part prevented by ! skinning it and using the skin and fat for gansegriebén --the cracklings cracklings from tried out fat. " The cleaning of a goose is a nice task. Some people wash and scrub it with soap suds, but that canpot be done if it has already been drawn. Singe, rub, wash, and then scrape the surface with a small and not too sharp knife. Then if y° u are going to skin it remove the wings and cut the neck close to the body. Cut along the breast bone down to the lean meat and then carefully draw off the skin and the fat attached to it. H you know how to draw a -bird you will save some work by drawing your goose at home, because you will not have as much work in cleaning out all the bits of lung, etc., from around the ridgy spine. Wash the inside again and again until the water is clean, but do it quickly, then wipe dry and the goose is ready to season and stuff, if you will, and to truss up for roasting. No stuffing made with bread should be used, but the goose is sometimes stuffed with sage and onions, mashed potatoes or apples, etc. If you cock the* goosç without stuffing and wish it well seasoned, put into it several small onions, some stalks of celery, and even some apple. If you have taken off | the skin, sew over the breast the skin of the neck after rubbing in pepper and salt, and put to roast with some flour rubbed in at the start and a very little hob vater. Baste every ten or fifteen minutes until done and serve with apple sauce which has been but slignt.y sweetened and put through a sieve. Pour off most of the grease in the pan, .add hot water and thickening for gravy. Chopped dry mush- rooms and other seasonings may be added. . ■Goose Fat.--Cut the skin and the fat attached up into squares, sprinkle with salt, and leave ;over night ; rinse with fresh water in the morning and put on to cook gently in three or four cups of cold water. Cook for about two hours and strain or cook until the water has all cooked out. If the cracklings get too brown before the water is cooked out, drain, and dry in hthe oven The fat of the intestines shouid be in salted water over night and cooked in the same way, but separately.. Its flavor may not be acceptable. A quick way to cook the fat skin is to fry it without water, water, but the cracklings are not as good, but may be acceptable in a cream sauce. Goose Stew.--If great economy must be practised, use the neck, the -gizzard, the heart, the wings, and the drumstick, ot first joint, for a stew. These are seasoned with salt and pepper overnight and cooked cooked like any step, with seasonings of different vegetables. Mock Oyster Soup--Salsify, or the oyster plant, is one of the most delicious vegetables if well cooked, but it is not as well known as it ought to be. A soup may be made of it which can-hardLy be told: from oyster stew, and dietetically it is a more wholesome and dainty soup for a goose dinner than the consomme. consomme. Salsify wilts almost as quickly as new carrots, so if you have no good place to keep it in, as soon as it comes into the house wash it and put it into a wet newspaper. It grows black almost as soon as cut, therefore it must be prepared as follows : Cut off the leaves, and if they are fresh and green save them, as thev are nice for salad or to eat with salt. Scrape the root from the crown down and when it is clean commence to slice from the small end, dropping the slices in water acidulated with lemon juice. Do not waste the crown, which you can peel if it is too ridgy to scrape. Put on to cook in boiling salted water if for soup. If for vegetable you can use acidulated water to keep it white. Boil gently about three- fourths of an hour so that not all the water will boil away. One bunch of salsify slices will make about two cups and a half. Cook this amount - in four cups of salted water and add a pint of milk and a small piece of butter. Before adding adding the milk take out a few x of the ices and butter them and finally add to soup. They suggest oyster. Put the rest, cooked up with the milk, through a sieve and serve in cups in which you have , dropped a little piece of butter and perhaps a tablespoon of cream. If then ydtii add a.heaping tablespoon of freshly rolled cracker - to each the resemblance resemblance to oyster is tew is close. The milk may curdle, but after it is put through.the sieve the soup will look sill right. .

At the IShJrine of the Shepherdess a t Reims. When Mr. Richard Harding Davis, visiting Reims while German German .wounded still lay in the . nave of the great cathedral and German shells whistled round its sparing towers, stepped forth .from the shadow of its battered portal, he confronted, in the deserved square without, the statue of Jeanne d'Arc, still uninjured ; and into the upraised hand' of the Maid some one had lashed the flag of France. It is a dull imagination indeed that the picture does not stir, whether whether French, of *the nation that she saved, or English, of that she fought so hard, or German, of that in whose " national literature the poet Schiller has given her an.^honored an.^honored place. Dramatic, poet, appealing appealing is that flag in the hand of •the warrior-maid of five centuries ago, amid the smoke and welter of the embattled present. Nevertheless, Nevertheless, it is well to remember, with eyes undazzled and mind undeceived, undeceived, that there was never a truer lover of peace Jeanne d'Arc ; that the Maid, who rode iû shining armor at the head of the Armies, and 'thundered on her charger through the press of the hard-won fields, shuddered at blood, hated war, wanted no glory. She never ceased to long for the end of her task and to miss her little native village, her humble friends, and the nibbling sheep she had been used to 'tend in quiet meadows, with her knitting in her hand. At Reims was the culmination of her victorious career ; there she caused the crowning of her king. At Rouen was her martyrdom ; there she died at the stake.

Russian Officer Tells How He Spared From Them. The presence of the wolf as a new -terror on the battlefields of East Prussia and Poland is described described in a letter sent by a Russian officer to a Riga newspaper. Wounded in an engagement which had driven the Germans from their trenches, he found himself larfcer to be the only living soul left on the field of dead. Pulling himself together together and leaning on his sword he walked as best he could toward the supposed shelter of his comrades in the woods. "Just as I reached the edge of the woods," he says, "I stopped in terror. From the distance there came the howling of a wolf. It sounded unutterably melancholy and dreadful in the still autumn night. Another wolf answered, in the same long-drawn, dismal note. The howling drew nearer ; presently presently I heard it all around me, without without pause, growing lounder and more exultant every moment. "I am no coward. I am a sportsman sportsman and have killed many wolves in hunts, but what I heard that night I can never forget- The chaotic chaotic howling. whicK inclosed me ,like ■» ehàmrJcept -coming closer and closer, drawing to the centre of the circle where'! was standing. "I saw clearly there was no chance of -saving myself when the circle' had closed finally upon me, I went rnnnihg-r--how I managed it don't know--toward some bushes a hundred yards away. I reached them and dropped to the ground, was resolved to fight as long as I could. I had my loaded revolver and my sword. "The wolves came nearer, and their howling filled the night. Now they were at the border of the wood. In the darkness I could see dim shadows moving slowly between the trees. "As they came out Of the wood from different directions they drew together into one great, dark herd, and stood thus for some minutes. Then another wolf howled--from somewhere out on the battlefield, and all at once the pack began to move. Without haste, in a little deliberate deliberate trot they went past me, past the very clump of bushes where I was sitting with drawn revolver. Not one turned toward me. 1 watched each one as he went by, expecting that he -would spring at' me. I don't know how many there were, but there were very many-- trotting so quietly to the field where the dead were lying. "I was. mercifully allowed to lapse into unoonsciousnéSS soon af- tffr.

The gun carriages waited on the street. Men mounted on horseback at a word from the officer, officer, wheeled into the line facing the church - and the Maid's birthplace. birthplace. At another command, Out went every right hand with its weapon. "Thev presented arms to Jeanne d £ Arc ! . '•'How little it entered the mind of the libératrice that more than four hundred years after her death the troops of France would do her honor ! As soon as this act of homage was complete, the men broke ranks and took turns in dismounting and entering the church. All day, indeed, indeed, while this military body passed passed through Domremy, soldiers might be seen hurrying in and out. Not one seemed capable of passing the shrine of Jeanne d' Arc without pausing there to bend his knees." * -- TRAVELING FORTS. Now Being Used in the Field of War in W estern Europe.

Great Hill was wide enough for two sleds to go down side /by side. Any child who wished might race, and the winner would receive a silver bell to hang on his sled. As scon as Rachael heard of tiie races, she put her sled carefully away. 'I shall not use it till the day of the races," she said. "I want it to be in good order." Barbara was as much interested in the races as Rachael, but she did not put her sled away. How could she 1 There were two children visiting visiting her from the South who had never been, coasting before. Saturday came, and Barbara's sled had been used every day and Rachael's not at all. Eight children raced--two each time. The starter gave the signal, and away -went two children ; the .others shouted and cheered them ; • a big boy stood at the foot ofhill, to decide on the race. Tne • one who lost took his sled back out of the way, and the winner got on his waiting, to try again. Then another pair raced, and another, another, and another, until the four who had won were ready to try again. There was more excitement and louder shouting among the children, and the starter rang the silver bell to urge the racers on to do their best. The two who won that race were Rachael- and Barbara -- Raphael with her new sled that had never been lent, and Barbara with her aid battered, worn one. 1 'All ready for the-finish 1 ' shouted shouted the starter. Rachael and Barbara' took their places "One, two, thrçe, go 1" cried tho started. It was easy to see which of the two was the favorite with the children. children. V "Beat her, Barbara !" they crûs*. There was not a single cheer for Rachael, but she sat with her eyes straight. ahead ; she was 'bound^p- wm. Halfway down the hill neither sled was ahead, wh^f snap ! went Barbara's rope ; but she simply leaned over and held on -to tho tops of the runners. % Rachael, seeing Barbara lean over, thought that might help her to go faster, too, and so she leaned leaned forward . but at that her sled stuck and almost stopped for an instant. Soon it was gliding on again, but that halt had lost her, the race. "Hurrah for Barbara 1"" was the glad cry, as her sled came in ahead. "I don't see what made me slow Rachael complained.
