Such anniversaries are most enjoyable when they are least formal, and sometimes even older persons like to join in a little good natured frolic at such times. The decorations should always be carefully planned with attempt at a novel effect. For a wedding supper the dishes might all be of tin, the different courses being served in tin plates. For the paper wedding the dishes might all be of paper, with paper napkins, of raw cotton are excellent decorations for the cotton wedding. Here are the principal wedding anniversaries, with the materials associated with First, cotton; second, paper; thirds feather; fourth, fruits and flowers; fifth, wooden; sixth, sugar; seventh, woollen; eighth, India rubber; ninth, willow; tenth, tin; eleventh, steel; twelfth, linen; thirteenth, lace; fourteenth, ivory; fifteenth., crystal; twentieth, china; twenty-fifth, silver; thirtieth, pearl; fortieth, ruby; fiftieth, golden; seventy-fifth, diamond. cial water bath three and one-half hours, or under five pounds steam pressure in a pressure cooker for two and one-half hours. The meat stock referred to is made as follows: Place bones, gristle and any meat scraps in a kettle and cov, with water. Boil ten minutes, then skim. Simmer for three hours, then strain. Celery, a bay leaf pepper may be added for seasoning, if desired. After slaughtering, meat should be cooled quickly and kept cool for twenty-four hours before canning. Meats wrfTeh are to be served in stews Or boiled are easily canned by Method I. Roasts and steaks have a better flavor if browned first; hence Method II. gives better results. Meats which are to be canned f< roasts should be cut in one piece the size of the can. A two-quart, widi mouthed jar will hold a roast that will serve six or eight people. Steaks should be rolled tightly and put into the jar; when desired for use, they may be unrolled and reheated. Meat which has been canned can not be served rare. When canning chicken- follow either method, preserving that which is to be used for frying by Method II. Drain the pieces upon removing from the can, then dredge with flour and brown in fat. Chicken may be packed as follows: 1. Pack the saddle with a thigh inside. 2. Pack the breast-bone with a thigh inside. 3. Pack the back-bone and ribs with a leg inside. 4. Pack the leg, large end down, alongside the breast-bone. 5. Pack the wings. 6. Pack the -wishbone. 7. Pack the neck. Giblets are difficult to sterilize, so Should not be packed but used in the daily menu instead. Looking Your Best. Keep the youthful contour of your face. You can do it if you'll only try hard enough. Don't sag. Don't bag. Bring up your muscles in the way they should go, and when you are old they won't sag but will stand by you. Flabby, relaxed, skin always gives the appearance of age and, incidentally, carelessness. A good astringent and massage given regularly will take "years off a woman's age, especially i after she has become fat, flabby, and forty. An excellent astringent which will help to coax the muscles back to their former firmness is made by adding a teaspoonful of spirits of camphor to each ounce of tincture of benzoin. Another equally simple astringent, but well worth while using, is made by adding one part of benzoin to ten parts of either orange ' or elder-flower water. Your druggist can make both of these astringents for you. Then, there is an astringent balm almost like a jelly that, if used faithfully, will make a double chi flabby throat disappear. The best way to use it is to slap it into the skin food, o purposely e that has been to strengthen me you should he loose skin know that the s be upward New machinery may be scarce later i.

Briton, Long Resident in Berlin, Says Teuton Mind Still Unchanged. Although Berlin has changed 1914, the German mind remains unchanged. Neither the holocaust of dead nor the crash of thrones has shaken Germany out of her self-conceit, according to what G. Valent' Williams, formerly correspondent of Renter's Agency in Berlin, tells The London Dally Mail. "The German mind," he says, not seem to- have altered. "Albeit sadly puzzled to accou the utter break-down of the German system, in his outlook On life the German of 1920 is to most intents and purposes the German of 1913. In a world which to British eyes is strangely changed by five years of World War the mental isolation of the German is absolute. To talk to nim makes you feel that the German of today is the loneliest creature on God's earth. "Yet with heavy deliberation he is communing with himself to ascertain the causes of his defeat. But he Is not examining his conscience. "Any Berlin bookshop will show you the chaos prevailing in the German mind. Steinach's rejuvenation experiments, Einstein's theory of light, Mayard Keynes and Norman Angell on the Versailles Peace--both books in German translations and prominently displayed--treatises on spiritualism, atheism, free love, and the like-works of this description stand side by side with a mass of frankly pornographic literature. Here will you find reasoned explanations for the past, complicated schemes for the future, but nothing practical to deal with the problems of the present. And, above all, no contrition for Germany's crime against mankind. The German surveyed the world from his castle of militarism. NoW that it has collapsed he is left floundering in a sea of doubts and fears. The Germans with whom I have spoken expect us to hold them guiltless of the past because, they say, they have rid Germany of her military caste. Willing to Forgive! "They have, it is true, expelled the bloody-minded blunderers- surrounding that eminent nonentity, William the Second-rater, because they failed to keep their promise to establish German world-domination. But thi_ man people are governed -by the" instinct, and the expulsion of the Old Gang in the circumstances of military defeat and home panic in which tne Hohenzollerns were sent away required weightier evidence of a change of heart than is forthcoming in Germany to-day if it is to be accepted as a proof of the death of German mili- "Talk to a Frenchman of any class, and you will, sooner or later, come upon a well-banked but fiercely smouldering Republican ardor. Talk to a German about his government and you will find, at the best, lukewi terest; at the worst, resentful ridicule towards the German Republ: "The average attitude is one of blank indifference. The German man in the street never thought for himself. He does not do so to-day. question of the future is, What party will emerge from the present chaos to do his thinking for him' "The Germans are perfectly willing to forgive us for the war. They talk glibly about 'this unhappy war with the air of a man making perfunctory excuses for some social lapse. In sc may be detected in addition a little of condescension in speaking of the late unpleasantness as though to draw attention to their magnanimity in accepting the war as an inevitable catastrophe, 'an act of God,' as the insurance policies say. And even to-day I find that the great majority of Germans have no idea of the abhorrence in which the very nam held in the Anglo-Saxon < in France and Belgium." IWwniiw the * Mil mWMMi A Trip of Investigation. I want to marry your daughter," the young man said to his beloved's father. Does she love you?" the old man asked. "Yes, sir," answered the youth. "And love her!" "Well, that, of course, is the first ecessary condition; but there are a sw more questions that I should like i ask you." "Yes, sir." "Have you made any shopping tours ith her lately?" "No, sir." "Ever been in a big store and asked the present price of women's hats and clothes?" 'No, sir." Well, young man, just take a trip of investigation. I don't know what your present income is, but after re learn for yourself just what those clothes cost she is wearing are costing me, come back and see me again. If then you can promise to upport her in the style to which she has been accustomed lately, I'll give mortal child in his heart. We do not have to look long for monumental examples of great men who, like Oliver W'endell Holmes his poem, "The Boys," and in his r. sonal example, defied the calendar. To one such perennially young gentleman, namely, Dr. W. W. Keen, the community that affectionately reveres him is even now preparing to do honor. The will to keep youthful in the spirit seems to be the biggest part of in- The thought of growing old is chiefly oppressive to those who never grow anything else. Most of those who produce, create, achieve, are too busy to study crow's feet in the mirror or culate percentages of lime in the bones or acid in the blood. They not forever in a lonely observatory the outlook for new symptoms. They are up and doing, with a whetted appetite for fresh adventure. There is "Labrador" Cabot, of Boston, who is forever starting out on a one-man expedition among the Indians of the barrens not very far from the desolate spot where the balloon came do" with Lieutenant Hinton and his cc rades. It is useless to tell him that is too old. You might as well try persuade "Oom John" Burroughs quit exploring swamps and forests and playing with squirrels. Nature, they tell US', has no favorites, but she has a way of granting to the naturalists a special grace in growing "old." The life of Fabre, which began in 1823 and. did not end until 1915, might be cited, or that of Chevreul, 1786-1889. Many artists, moreover, are like St. Gaud-ens, , and "do not count the mortal years it takes to mold memorial forms."

Jl was cut here and tW«r by the^pfows-tri swift white clouds driven by in the upper air. An eagle passed between sky and earth. Spread beneath him was the jagged slope of the mountain, thickly grown with pines that formed a ragged fringe on its summit. A moving speck caught his eyes and caused him to swerve. It was a girl swerving up the mountain toward the abandoned gold mine known as Sucker Sahm's Hole. The Hole was a gap in the earth, made by tunneling under a boulder. In the rains of that spring a pine tree had fallen partly in at the entrance. Tree and cave were like a long figure-four rabbit trap. The tough boughs upheld a mass of earth and rocks in such a way that a slight weight on the roots of the uptorn tree inside the hole might dislodge the earth slide. She was a large, slow-moving girl, and she climbed directly toward the old mine. The eagle continued scouting for game. There was a sudden and violent disturbance of the earth about Sucker Sahm's Hole. The girl had set foot .in the old mine, and the pine tree had collapsed. The eagle ventured nearer earth. Smell of juniper, of wijd roses and of chokecherry bloom rose in a cloud. At the foot of the slope a river went with a mighty thundering. The mountain stood, as always, with its head in the clouds, which were transfigured by the afternoon sun. The summit had a rock shape like a human face, which bore an expression of calm and had suggested the name "Patience Mountain." Other peaks rose about it. All was as before the accident, except that a small gash of fresh earth hid appeared on the slope. Under the heap of earth inside the old mine Margaret Sahm began to breathe again. She was slow-witted as well as slow-moving; it had been like her to tread on the overturned pine and bring a piece of the mountain down between her and the light. Margaret's teacher at the district school would have said that she was thorough, but duH of perception. If she had been a wild thing, she would have been easily-trapped. But she was a girl who did not readily realize defeat. Although she was not a good student, she had insisted on entering high school and had somehow managed to make her way-through a mathematics course. Now she was taking extension work. She intended to teach school and go to college. She did not realize the desperate-ness of her plight. On her way up the mountain to look for a wolf den she had been considering a problem in Igebra. When the earth began to lide, her mind had stayed for a sec-n-d or two on the problem of x and , and even when darkness descended _n her she had not been greatly frightened. When the noise and dust subsided and she picked herself up from the earth, she thought only that ' ttle dirt had fallen; she must irth slide totally dark. Minutes passed. Hei eyes did not grow accustomed to theft tense darkneffs. ShetoOk alarm at it and began to push with her broad, strong shoulders at the mass of earth that imprisoned her, at the same time reaching with both hands for the roots of the pine tree. r he tree was gone. Her shoulders came into contact with a mighty mass of rock. A great boulder had slid before the entrance to the mine. She pushed with all her might against it and only felt how weak she was. Her whole body grew cold; the moisture started on her face. She had always taken things quietly, but now she began to struggle like a wolf in a trap. She tore at the earth and beat the rock with her hands; she sobbed and cried aloud. She had been crouched on her knees. Now she forgot everything and tried to leap to her feet, but her head cams into violent contact with the rock shelf above her. The pain was a shock that brought her to herself. She put her hands on her head and after a while began to feel blood from a slight scalp wound just behind her forehead. Round her were silent things, like the roots of trees. Would anyone come? Margaret knew how the mine looked from a distance: it was one small hole on the side of a mountain and scarcely a speck in a landscape of many mountains. They would go out to look; they would drag the river; but they would not think-- She was a person who had waves of. despair. Once or twice, for example, she had despaired of making her way through college; and there had been ! black days when she would not touch her books. Now she sat, as at those other times, with her face on her lenees. From some distance through intervening earth came a dull boom of----. Had a gun been fired as a sign&P outside? She shouted with all her strength. Whether it had been a gunshot or some accidental boom of rocks, ne answer came. Btu hope had stirred again in Margaret's heart. Now in imagination she could feel the freshening wind of late afternoon; she could hear the wild noise of the river foaming white- over its dark, sharp-toothed rocks and the jays that squalled out of the pines; she could smell juniper berries in the sun; she could see the man who had fired the shot, with his gun still smoking, going away. He had not heard her fries. All was deep stillness. A mustard seed in her place, with its longing for light, could have done something for itself. A pine seed would have split the rocks to reach the sun. She could not d-o anything. (Concluded in next i.^.:e.> COARSE SALT LAND SALT Btilk Caxlots TOPiONTO 8ALT WORK3 C. J. CLIFF - TORONTO
