RUSKIN IN THE KITCHEN, How He Prepared Coffee for His Guest. Ruskin not only preached the gos pel of efficiency, says the Youth's Companion, but when the exigencies of the occasion demanded he practis- | ed it.also. In her entertaining book of reminiscences, "Thirtegn Years of a Busy Woman's Life," rs. Alec Tweedle says that her father, Doctor | Harley, a well known London physi- Preparedness against sickness is the : big, important thing to fighting soldiers. A sick soldier cannot work with vigor any more than you can work with energy when you are weak, tired, almost sick. The government of one of our allies is giving each soldier a vial of cod liver oil every day because far-reaching experi- ments show how wonderfully it increases the calories of human energy and gives them'strength to prevent winter sickness. Is this not convincing proof that you need it at this season to enliven your.blood to prevent sickness? : . Cod liver oil is scarce and high-priced this season and ps 3 : many inferior grades may be offered. But rémember that SCOTT'S istheone EMULSION ™ which guarantees pure cod liver oil--free from harmful drugs. ' SCOTT'S EMULSION IS MADE IN CANADA. If you are subject to colds, throat or lung troubles; if you are easily tired, run-down 'or have thin blood, you sheuld take Scott's Emulsion at once. If your children are back- ward in growth, frail or anaemic, nothing will do them so much good as Scott's Emulsion, and for girls and women in home or business it is nature's great strength-builder. Scott's is not a "secret" medicine. It 1s a rich blood- food and a pure tonic; it contains nothing harmful and is' pleasant to. take. It is prescribed by physicians g and liberally used in hospitals and private schools. + One bottle may Prevent a sickness. At any drug store art it to-day. Imitations are sometimes offered but this Trade-Mark "has stood for supreme quality for the past forty years. ALWAYS INSIST ON SCOTT'S. SCOTT & BOWNE, TORONTO, ONT. | the thirteenth time, , Vlyn Johnson, in S. S i God gave a gift cian, was a great friend of Ruskin's and often staid at Brantwood. One night Ruskin. dsked Doctor Harley whether he liked tea or coffee before he got up "A cup of tea," he replied "Why don't you choose coffee?' Well, to tell the truth, «+I have lived so much abroad that I don't fancy English coffee; it is generally o badly made." His host said nothing. morning Doctor ed, and a strong 'meated the room The next Harley wis awaken: smell of coffee per Turning to a ser he asked Is that my cup of No, sir, it is Mr. Ruskin"s coffee ss Mr. Ruskin's coffee!

Among other mayoral curiosities it might be menfioned that Alderman Wiliam James Hughes, the Mayor of Sandwich, who is elected mayor for was . presented" with a black wand in accordance with an ancient custom which commemor- ates the death of a Danish Mayor of Sandwich, who, in A.D. 840, was kill- ed in the battle of the Danes at modern Dick the - new lord | Bloody Point, in the Sandwich haven.

Barrack St. 4 a Content With the Garter, Lord Dufferin's story of the French stationmaster who approached shim with a request that he would obtain for him a British_decoration of some sort.is worth re-telling. Most of the Royalties who had, 50 to speak, pass ed through his hands had conferred og him various stars and crosses, but, though he had several times been re sponsible for the safety and comfort of the British Sovereign, he had re- ceived no decoration in return. 'But most of our orders are given for military distinction or to civil ser- vants," Tord Dufferip explained, soothingly. "For example, the Bath, the Star of India, and so forth." The stationmaster looked very glum, "There is, however," his lordship | continued, "one order that is given for no particular merit or service-- the-Order-of-the-Garter tt "Ah, well," said the stationmaster, "1 suppose I must be content with that!" . Why Hindu Poet Avoids Japan. A traveler returned from India to® Japan, according tq the KEast and West News, tells why Sir Rabindra-: nath Tagore gave up hi% proposed visit to the land of the Rising Sun. | First, he says, because the Hindu poet, like other poets, changes his mind frequently; second, because his tenants are suffering from want of. food; third, he has become incensed at a Japanese who abused Tagore's confidence, pretending to be an ad: mirer of the poet's most refined works, and all the while insanely ad- -dicted to London music hall songs. 'He sings for hours. in private, but at the top of his voice," the poet is re- ported to have said, with a withering expression of seorn, 'what he calls. | Tippulaly!' i" I Devant's, Greeting.
