For an inexpensive "tasty" hot dish for tea there are more ways of losing up the leftâ€"overs from dinner iby serving them on toast, which, iwith a little care, may be made to ilook as tasteful to the eye as to the :palate. ‘ Trim the crust from neat slices of stale bread, and toast each side a delicate brown; butter while hot, and keep covered until the slices are soft- ened. Then lay on each a. portion of the preparation, leaving a tiny edge of the toast visible. Fishâ€"Separate the meat from the .bones of any fish that may be left .from dinner, and place on one side. gBreak into a bowl one or two eggs, iaccording to the amount of fish, add salt, a bit of pepper, and one teaâ€" Ispoonful of plain flour;'mix thorâ€" oughly. If you think there is not sufficient fish for your slices of toast, add one slice of fresh, white bread, [minus crust, mix all'wcll, and add Ethc fish.

A few drops I . . . . :of lemon JUICO sprinkled on the le- ture improves it for some tastes. Chipped Beefâ€"Put into a. saucepan ,one gill of milk, and a. teaspoonful lof butter.

He tried the soâ€"called “quick cures” irst, but without obtaining benefit. it is a well known fact that such remedies when they do bring temporâ€" lry relief do so with a tremendous waste of nerve force and consequent injury to the system. Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food cures by enriching the blood, vitalizing the nerves and building up the system. Headache, as well as all other sy1np~ loms of an exhausted system, disapâ€" pear before its influence. Its cures lasting because it removes the cause of trouble. Mr. 0. Barber, Simcoe, Ont., writes: "Dr. Chase‘s Nerve Food is a splenâ€" did medicine.

I was troubled more or less for nineteen years with severe headaches, which made me useless as far as accomplishing my work was concerned. “The Nerve Food seemed to build me up generally, and so made a. thorough cure of my old trouble. I would not think of being without Dr. Chase's Nerve Food in the house, and would strongly recommend any- one suffering as I did to give it a trial.

CUTS AND BRUISES, Just as soon as the warm weather comes the children want to go bareâ€" footed and then begins trouble with sore toes and bruises. They get all kinds- of wounds, but the most ser- ious are those made by rusty iron, generally received by stepping on an old nail, the barbs of wire fences, etc. Such hurts often prove serâ€" ious, resulting sometimes in lockjaw and that is a‘ disease that the doc- tors do not seem able to handle suc- ccssfully. Children should be instructed not to think such hurts of ,mo consequence This is not “babying” them, either, for they should be instructed why care is desirable. Teach them to come to you with every hurt in which the skin is broken, then see that the Wound is properly cleansed and bound up with some healing lin- iment, so that no foreign matter either remains or can enter. In the case of a wound from a rusty nailâ€"the most dangerous of inâ€" juries to tho barefoot boyâ€"turpenâ€" tine is highly rerommendcd.

The Mouharrem is the Persian seaâ€" soo of mourning, when Persian Mo- hanunedans mourn for the death of Ali and of his two sons, Hussan and Hussein, whom they slew 1,320 years ago. Ali and his sons they believe to have been the true successors of the Prophet, and on the anniversary of their assassination, Persians volâ€" untarily suffer terrible self-inflicted punishments. A correspondent of the London Chronicle was privileged to see this rite and gives the following vivid de- Scription of it :â€" It is five o’clock in the afternoon.

The windows, iron-barred outside and descending to the floor, are op- en, and lying dowa we command a complete view of the whole of the proceedings. Presently there is a slight stir. The Persian Ambassador has arriv- ed, and with his suite is conducted to a kiosk at one side of the mosâ€" que. Then the square is cleared, the imaums collect on the steps «of. the mosque, and simultaneously the wail of funereal music reaches us. Purple banners, black banners, green ban- ners, and one white, with inscripâ€" tions on them, all of silk, the sum- mit of the staff of each surmounted by a silver hand, the fingers out- stretched to heaven.

PORT ARTI-IUR’ S GUNS . Germans Made Them for Chinese, and Were Never Paid. A peculiar feature of the Russian defence of Port. Arthur is the history attached to some of the heavy guns which are at present. in the. forts. These guns were sold originally to the Chinese authorities by\ a German firm, shortly before the Boxer trouble, when the Chinese were buy- ing arms ,on every available occasion. They bought on the three-year sys- tem, paid so much down, and the balance divided between the second and third year. The firm had to pay the regular "cumshaw" to the lower officials out of the money they received the first year. The guns were delivered at once, and deposited in the Shiku Arsenal, where Admiral Sir Edward Seymour made his grand stand with his wounded, when returning from his futile endeavor to rescue the Pekin Legations. Some of these guns were not even unpackâ€" ed. Before the second and third in- stalments were paid, fighting began, and the guns were captured by the Allies, anti handed over to the Rus- sians for custody. The Russians al- ways seem to have men to take charge of anything, and they took Such great care of these-guns" in the Shiku Arsenal that they were sent over to Port Arthur; so that al- though Germany has not received a penny 'for the honest Work done in her country, she has unwittingly pro- vided Russia with the means to 'de- fend Port Arthur, pass us the first time their shoulders are black and swollen. Another round or two, and dowu the backs of {some the blood begins to flow. One quite a, young fellow, of not more than seventeen, must be suffering terribly, but never once does he wince or diminish the force of his blows. An hour of this torture, and then- at sunset only a party of the elder men remain to weep and wail the while the square is being illuminatâ€" ed on all sides. Persians drink tea, not coffee, and during this interval our hos-L supplies us with most delicâ€" ious tea. served in little glass tumbâ€" lers on glass saucers, each on- a sep- arate tray. Then the sound of mu- sic again, louder wailing than We have heard before, and every man is now dressed in white. Two most beautiful pure white horses follow the banners, each led by two men. On the shoulders of each horse are two swords upright, and behind the swords a pair of white doves; and the doves flap their wings as the horses move, Round shields are sus- pended to the sides of the horses, and their long white trappings are sme--.-:ed with blood. ' ROAD TO PARADISE. Two hundred men follow, armed now with gleaming yataghans, which they wave as they wail, "Hasâ€"san! Husâ€"sein! Aâ€"li !" Their frenzy in- creases, and an old priest, who is apparently leading, and encouraging them, gets his throat cut; but this is an accident, and he is attended to on the spot. Once around the square, headed by torch-bearers, carrying gigantic torches, flaming high aloft, this weird nrocession moves, and the square is now lined by Turpish troops with fixed bayoâ€" nets. The bayonets are not fixed for ornament, but. for the purpose of instantly transfixingany dervish who may run amok. "Hasâ€"Han! Hus-sen! Aâ€"li! Hasâ€"sen! Hus-sein! All !” Again and again the weird, mons- to'nous cry that _will ring in one’s ears for many a day to come; again the beautiful white gorses and flut- 'te.'ing white doves are passing us, “.- ninthâ€"â€" the light of the Waving flames of thoi torches shed upon them; again, 200, whiteâ€"clad figures, their gleaming yataghans moving in rythmicalr swing. "Has-sun! Husâ€"59in!” “All'”. Suddenly the cries attain a wild fierceness, and then, before one cani realize the fact, every man of the 200 is drenched with blood, their, features indistinguishable. "Has- san!” “H'us-seln A-li!” and-as they. cry each name they slash their shav-L en crowns with swords that have been sharpened to the keenness of a, razor. Those who die from wounds thus inflicted go straight to Para? disc, and not a man fl'inches. BLOODY SPECTACLE. They cut and out again in time to their cries the whole way round the square; strong men among the spectators faint and are carried away. Smothere'd in blood, the waving yataghans streaming with it.3 nearly all the dervishes complete the circuit, but some few drop, and these, as a special honor, perhaps dying, are laid at the feet of the Ambassador before they are re- moved. , Still 600 more remain to perform the horrible rite in batches of 200 each; but we have seen enough of the ghastly spectacle, and as the second detachment is passing endeavor to‘ make our way out of the square, the pure air now tainted with the sick- en'ing smell of blood. We become. jammed in the crowd in the gateway,‘ amid the streaming swords and streaming fanatics, -_ and then have we to thank the splendidly discip~ lined Turkish troops for their civility and prompt assistance. Still, in the narrow, dark, desely crowded thor- oughfare, we are not free from the horror, and pass two red men franâ€" tically striking doors with their red, dripping swords. ..â€"..â€"..-â€"-â€"-+_.___- THE ILLS OF ' CHILDHOOD. Every child in the country needs, at some time or other, a medicine to correct the ills incident to child- hood. If Baby's OWn Tablets are kept in the. house and occasionally given to the little ones they will prevent illness and make the little ones rugged, strong and cheerful. Mothers should insist on having this medicine because it contains no opiâ€" ate or harmful drug, and children take the Tablets as readily as they take candy. If you have a neighbor who has used the Tablets ask her and she will tell you what splendid Satisfaction they give. Here is what one mother, Mrs. Wm. Sinclair, Hebron, N. B., says: "I have used Baby’s OWn Tablets with so much satisfaction that I do not feel safe when I have not got a box in the house. I am sure that other mothâ€" ers will be quite as Well pleased with them.” You can get the Tablets through your druggist or by mail at 25 cents a box by writing The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. . - I MEN AS HOUSEKEEPERS. Why They Would Be Out'of Place in the Suggested Role. A writer in an English review exâ€" presses the opinion that if, for a while, men could take over all house keeping duties, keeping women entireâ€" ly out of domestic management, the ensuing revolution would solve ,the servant problem. By planning every- thing on business lines about 50 per cent. of the present labor would be saved. It is asserted that all the labor-saving devices in use at present are the inventions of men, and that there are plenty more of these benc- ficent ideas on tap in the masculine brain only awaiting an opportunity for realization. Men do not have the same troubles with their employes that women do with their servants, says the writer, and it. would not take the mighty masculine intellect very long to do away with the ser- vant question entirely. We are inclined to agree with the writer to this extent: that after a man had conducted the domestic af- fairs of a. household for a few Weeks ' there would be no servant question, and no servant either, writes Rob- ert Webster J ones in the .June House- keeper. It would be a task of Hercu- lean difliculty to persuade a servant to enter that house again. We can picture in our mind's eye the domestic chaos that would result, the aston- ishing innovations that would be in- troduced from cellar to garret. Fancy the average man attempting to dis- cipline the cook by employing the same methods with which he is ac‘ customed to coerce the office boy. Imâ€" agine this man debating the vital questions of “Thursday afternoons out” and "What shall we have for dinner?” with an indignant Abigail whose elogue'nce exceeds her logic! As for us, we do not want a home run on "strictly business principles.” There are plenty of them in the land, but they are called hotels. Here is a conundrum: When is a home not a home? When it has a man for houseâ€" keeper. Home is that realm where woman rules. .____+__._...... It is the truths we do and not the ones we indorse that sore us. : on. A.
