Season each with pepper and salt, and wrap each in buttered paper. Fold the ,. paper neatly together and fry a nice brown. Serve in the papers with a garnish of fried parsley. Linseed Teasâ€"Pour two quarts of boiling water on one ounce of whole linseed, ami twelve drachms of li- q'uorice root sliced. Add a few slices of lemon. Let this stand in a covered jug for six hours, then strain for use and sweeten to taste. Egg and Water Cress S‘an‘dWichves~â€"- These make a nice change from cakes for afternoon tea. (.‘ut some thin brown bread and butter. PaSS two ‘hard~boilod 'eggs through a wire sieve. Put a layer of egg on one piece of bread and butter, and a lay- er of water crass leaves on the other. {Press together and trim off the crust. Swiss Rollâ€"Ono teacupful of caster sugar, one teacupful of fine flour and a teaspoonful of baking powder, mix Well together. Break two eggs into the dry ingredients. and beat for five ' minutes. Pour into a Wellâ€"buttered Yorkshire pudding tin. Bake for three minutes in a very hot oven. Turn on a sheet of sugared paper. Spread with jam and roll quickly. Lobster toast is a tasty supper dish. Take half a small tin of lobâ€" ster; pick to pieces carefully to re- move any shell; add a dessertspoon- ful of warmed butter, some chopped capers. and cayene pepper. Pound all together till quite smooth, ad- "ding salt if necessary. Make thor- oughly hot, and serve on souares of hot buttered toast. Garnish with rings of hardâ€"boiled egg and serve. Curried Sausagesâ€"Fry some sauâ€" sages till quite cooked. Then pour a little water into the frying pan: dredge in some curry powder and sufficient flour to thicken the whole. Simmer‘ for ten minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and stir till' the sauce is done. Add the sausages; 1 stand at the side of the fire while they heat through again. Serve with a border of boiled rice. Potato Balls-This is a nice way1 of cooking old potatoes when they, are getting rather out of condition. i Take the boiled potatoes and mash with a little milk. Dredge in som‘e flour, season with pepper, salt, chopped parsley. Take care that? the mixture is not too moist. Add sufficient chopped parsley to flav- or; make into balls. Brush over With milk. put on a greased tin, and brown before the fire or in a sharp oven. Tomato Jamâ€"The green fruit is best. Wipe each with a 010ch and remove the stem. Put into a. pre- serving pan. alloWing half a pound of white sugar for every pound of fruit; add a little water for syrup. Slice one lemon for each two pounds of fruit and add. Boil until thorâ€"' ou-ghly done and the syrup is thick. . Do not put much water at first, for it can be added easily. This is an excellent preserve and tastes_a little like figs. Rhubarb and Orange Marmaladeâ€" i To every pound of cut rhubarb .al~i low three or four Seville oranges and a pound and a half loaf of sugar. Peel the aranges thinly and cut in thin strips as for marmalade. Take off the white pith, which will not be needed. Remove the pips from the! fruit and cut it in slices. Place the oranges, rhubarb and sugar in the preserving pan, and boil gently till sufficiently cooked, and the scum has ceased to rise. Set to‘ preserve in small pots and cover while hot with white paper brushed over with white of egg. Maids of Honors-For these tarts you must commence by making good puff paste, and make it line some patty pans. Fill half full with this mixture. Beat two ounces of butter with the hand till it comes to a fine cream, add two ounces of caster su- gar, and beat well together; add yolks of two eggs beaten again; add a small quantity of milk, shake in a few currants and. finely chopped candied peel. Beat all the ingreâ€" dients together before filling the patty pans. You will find these de- licious if carefully made. and 2 l l l m»â€" TRAINING or CHILDREN. My own experience with children has taught me to believe that those "who revolt against all arbitrary au- 3thority are not bad, but misdirected ‘m‘tf‘children of unusual strength of char- throu-gh wrong influence opposing those whom writes a corres- children who give should obey, _.pondent. These ‘ the most trouble will help most when once they are turned into the right path. We must tends to distort remember that tyranny character. Blind submission should not be exacted from children, as it tends to make slaves of w:ak characters, while those who are naturally independent and will not obey without clear reason, react blindly against arbitrary au-1 thority. The need is to cultivate in all children an intelligent and free ..s;‘onse to necessary laWS. ; all round. When children obey because they see clearly a good reason why they should, the result is a distinct growth in moral character. 0n the 0 other hand, if obedience is prompted through fear of physical punishment, the result is of no real benefit to the child's nature. We must bear in mind that the first step toward perâ€" fection in otir little ones is the setâ€" ting of the example they” need to see. A 'mother who lacks refinement in act speech or dress, _who is careless of the truth and selfish toward her husâ€" band, can only expect to see these faults reproduced in her children. From the earliest conscious act a child should be taught to consider others and take his share of family selfâ€"denial. This is very necessary to the formation of fine individual charâ€" acter. We must work ceaselessly and with 'infinite love and patience, like the gardener, who, with steady hand, guides and bends, never break- ing, the twigs of a. vine, until it comes to grow in symmetry and beauty. We must let nothing draw our hearts and hands from the serâ€" vice of our children. lives are incomparably more importâ€" ant than any other possession we can ever have. ‘ USEFUL HINTS . A headache may be relieved by ad- ding a little lemon juice to your tea instead of milk. When cooking white fish sprinkle a little lemon juice or vinegar over it: this will improve its. appearance and flavor. To make boot laces keep tied give them a slight waxing. This also stiffens them to go quickly through eyelets. A strip of carpet glued to a piece of Wood will remove mud from boots quickly and without the slightest in- jury to leather. It is far better than the usual brush. Stains on flannels may be removed by applying equal quantities of yolk of egg and glycerine, and allowing it to soak for 'half an hour before the garment is washed. ' To make linen easier to write on when marking dip the piece you wish to mark into cold starch, rub over with a hot iron, and you will be able to write without. the pen scratching. Plum pudding is greatly improved if it is mixed and put on one side to soak the day before it is boiled. If the cloth is kept on after cooking the pudding can be kept for many months. Celery leaves may be dried and kept for use when the bleached celery . is not procurable. These are useful for brown soups and sauces, but not for white, as they would probably spoil the color. After washing a sheepskin rug stretch it out on a board; hair side down, and lightly tack the edge down This will prevent the corâ€" ners curling up and the skin from hardening. When laying down new linoleum if possible put it over the old piece. In this way the 'bother of taking up 'and disposing of the old linoleum is avoided, also the new floor covering. lasts longer. When tablecloths are beginning to Wear out in the folds, out two or three inches off one end and one side and rc-hcm them. This process will change the places of the folds, and will add new life to the cloth. Serviâ€" ettes and towels should be treated in» .the same. way. To stain floorsâ€"Take two parts of permanganate of potash and 30 parts of water. .Mix well. Paint this on the floor two or three times, until the right shade is produced. Afterwards. when dry, polish well with beeswax and turpentine, mixed to the, consistency of thick cream. _.__..+_.__. BE AN AELLâ€"ROUND MAN.

Result of Investigations of Royal to the grave iSSues at stake, Commission on ‘Koch’s ETheory. Among the multitude of “ills that flesh is heir to,” perhaps there is none that has claimed more victims than the dreaded tuberculosis. From time immemorial it has been the deadly scourage of the human race, working havoc among all class- es and ages. It has no more regard for rank or station than the most rabid anarchist that ever trod the earth, for it has cut down with the same remorselcss hand the king in his palace and the noble in his casâ€" tle, as well as the peasant in his miserable hovel. Nor has it regard for age. The tears of the mother (10 not move it, for it stills the heart :of the tender babe nestling in her arms with the same indifference as it tstrikcs down the tottering grey- beard, ripe for the garnery of death Its withering blight extends 'to all clinics. The inhabitants of the torrid regions, livmg though they do in perpetual sunshine and ltliough. they have never felt the chill 'blast penetrate their bones, are no more immune from its baleful ef- (fects than the children of the colder regions of the north, who are al- most constantly exposed to the incleâ€" mency of the elements. ITS WIDE SPHERE. Though more active in a cold and humid region, say like Iceland, the Isles, Denmark or Scandin- ‘avia, it also carried on its deadly work under the changeles-s skies of this continent, in all of which dis- tricts the atmosphere is clear and dry as man could wish. Influenza, Nansen tells us, holds the Arctic cir- cle in peculiar veneration, refraining from crossing the line that divides that region from the rest of the lglobc. But not so tuberculosis. With irreverent opinion it circles the pole itself, Ihovering over the illimitable stretches of ice in the outlook for its prey. One thing that can be said of it is, that it is not hereditary. It may be that in certain circumstances the oil‘â€" 'spring may derive it from the moâ€" ther, but science does not class it under those diseases which pass from parent to child. The most that can be said of it in this connection is a certain predisposi- The lungs, for its progenitors tion to tuberculosis. itheir children may be lcharacter able to resist successfully 5an attack of the malady, and hence, .thc person so constituted readily fails a victim to the disease. PARASITE BY NATURE. But it is not the lungs alone that tuberculosis fastens upon. It is parasite in character and its bacil- lus was first identified by Prof. Koch, the famous German scientist. It is, therefore, infectious, perhaps, lindeed, one of the most infectious of .all the maladies to which humanity iis subject. Its germs may be re- 3ceived by contact, entering with the food we eat into the body, and soilâ€" ing upon some part of our frame which may happen to be’in a condi- gtion which will give them nourish- iment. Though the most customary method by which they are received is through the respiratory organs from the atmosphere which has beâ€" come vitiated from the breathing of a tuberculosis subject. The bacillus, as its name indicates, is bulbous in shape, but it is not morphologically constant, depending largely on its habitat for its form. Nor does it always manifest itself in the same malady. the nature of the & mere piece 0f disease it produces being due to the part of the body affected. Roughly speaking, when it attacks children of form of hip, knee or ankle disease, or menignitis in persons of more ina- ture age it attacks the peritoneum, the intestines and the lungs. SERIOUS DANGER. One of the main dangers which it a merChant' or 5" ln‘vyel' be more has been supposed mankind has been than any of these. Let your educa~ tion be so broad and thorough that, whether you paint pictures, write books, sell merchandise, make con- tracts, or cultivate land, you will make yourself felt ity as an all-round man, of broad ideas and general culture. Train yourself to fill your part in life, no matter what it may be, like a man. Train yourself to think quickly and to act promptly. This general train- ing will not only help you in public affairs, and give you more influence in your community, but it will be invaluable to you in your business or profession. It will make friends for you, will extend your reputation, will make your life infinitely richer, fuller, better worth living, and, above all else, it will enhance value to-the World a thousandfold. __._.___,~§â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- A BITTER SCHEMES.

To prevent this as much as possible the greatest pre- cautions have been enacted by all Governments. In Canada, for exâ€" ample, all tuberculosis cows and bul- locks must be destroyed to prevent infection either by means of milk or lncat. A matter of three years ago. how- ever, Prof. Koch at the Internationâ€" al Medical Congress, London, made a statement which seemed to point to _the disease not being the. same in human beings and bovines. and there- fore, perhaps not communicable from one to the other. open to is Since then the scientific world has been divided into two hostile camps.

On the one hand were those who contended that on any subject con- nected with tubercle it was idle to ,go outside Koch's ipse dixit. iman who had discovered the bacillus {and had triumphantly vindicated its‘ lspecific nature against the ava- ilanche of criticism which always awaits a valuable discovery.

ROYAL COMMISSION. A Royal Commission was appointed in England to decide between these- rival views, and certainly its comâ€" position was, and is such as to com- mand the .most complete confidence. The interim report which it has now presented, though sufficiently strikâ€" ing, does not by any means settle the debatable points, nor can it even be said to indicate in which direction the settlement of these points, even if. such is ever arrived at, is to be isought. one point, at any rate, is abundantly clear; human tuberculosis Ibcasts so infected develop the evio :denco of such infectum, the signs, symptoms and minute microscopical =chararterisiics are altogether indie: tinguishable from those. of bovine tuberculosis. ' HOW 1T STANDS. But is the converse of this pro . [tion at issue. For the matter is not one of more scientific interest; 'it has, on the contrary, a practical lbovine tuberculosis is communicable to man, then the precautions and restrictions which at present surâ€" round the salc and distribution of milk require not relaxatian, but very much increased stringency; and the same is true, through to an infinitely :smallcr, egree, of meat derived from ithe bov‘ifie species. .We are presum- ably intended to read between the 'lines of the present report that, the original proposition being so demon-- .strable, its converse is in all. human probability true.

I ._.â€"â€"- iInteresting Incidents in the of Japan’s Greatest Soldier. at the beginning of aged Field Marshal Life It was only June that the Yamagata was appointed Commander inâ€"Ohicf of the Japanese forces in the field, but already Japan is ringing with his name, and his presence has inspired even greater courage and daring in the minds of the J apanesc troops than they possessed before. He has long been the foremost mil- itary man in Japan, and ever since the regeneration of the country has been regarded as the supreme head ,and master mind of the army. He is nearly seventy years of age, and is a very little man with a thin, keen face. and, making allowance for the Japanese type of feature, is not at all unlike Lord Roberts. He is in every sense the “Bobs” of Japan, and is worshipped by the people acâ€" cordingly. His early history was crowded with adventure. He is descended from an illustrious family of nobles, and his father was a distinguished poet and man of letters. But the boy’s inclinations were not for the pen but arms, and as a young man he joined the great revolution which substituted the supreme rule of tho Mikado for the religious autocracy of the Tycoons. Then he fought with distinction in the War of Restoraâ€" tion in 1867, and, being made Under Secretary for War in the following year, it was he who first commenced the reorganization and virtual crea- tion of the Japanese army ON THE WESTERN SYSTEM. In the course of his studies and inâ€" vestigations he went to France and England. He was present during the Francoâ€"German War, which he watched closely, and it is said that =Wien he went back to Tokio he do- iclared to his intimate friends that before many years were passed his :own country would have an army which would be capable of defeating either of those of whose exploits he had been a‘witness. ' I “They are great warriors. are those I v I l l they have not the fighting soul of the. Japanese." So the Mikado ,made him Minister for War, and he On the other side Irwas: can be imparted to cattle, and when - p0sition true? That is the foal ques- « bearing of the gravest import.

OCcupying such high posts lie ro- presented his country on many nota- ble.occasions, and it is of curious interest to remember now that when the present Czar was crowned at Moscow it was Yamagata who atâ€"‘ .tended' the great ceremony as the ro~ presentatives of the Rising Sun. ' One of the most remarkable things about Yamagata is his undoubted prescience. Over and over again he yhas forecasth the future of Japanese history in a manner which has amaz~ on those who have lived to see his predictions fulfilled to the letter. One day in 1887 he and a. few others of the distinguished leaders of Japan were seated together at the dinner table and the conversation naturally ltulrncd to the fast developing future iof the country. . SOME SPOKE OF PEACE, .but I Yamagata. quietly remarked, Wine have two terrible wars in front {of us,” and he. added to the aston‘ 'ishment of his hearers by the extra lremark, “and I am alreain getting ready for both of them!" - “Who with? Who with?” the party ' asked in chorus. , “The. first will be with China,” thd ablarshal replied, “and that war it not very far distant now. ~Aftei :that we shall have to go to wai Ewith Russia, and when that is ended imay enjoy a long period of peace, ‘but not before.” ‘ It was seven years afterwards that the war with China began, and now there is the war with Russia, jus! las he had predicted. Moreover, when the trouble with China began. the Marshal showed how he had real: 11y been getting ready as he said he ' 'had, for on that occasion the world ,was astonished by the speed with {which the Japanese army was mob-Fm .ized. He showed, too, that when 'the time came he knew every inch of Northern China and Korea. He per-6 ,sovnally performed some glorious ifeats in that war, although he was lpl‘actically an invalid the whole [time and was several times stricken idown with severe illness when on the imarch, and more than once it looked l likely that he would not survive. 1, Just like “Bobs” he is one of thil lmost humane of great generals. Om] ‘day as he rode into camp during the war with China, when a COLD AND BITTER SLEET iwas driving, he noticed a large num- iber of Chinese prisoners who, with is, minimum of clothing upon them, .were standing in a. pitiable shivering {state in the open. Forthvfith he icalled one of his lieutenants to his 1side and said, pointing to the pris< iones “They are men; give them shel< iter.” The young officer went off to 5300 what accommodation could bu lfound for them, but returned to say ill/hat not an ich of room could be lfound anywhere. “Then,” immediate l1y answered Yamagata, “turn: my :own horses out of their stable and [give them that, and if that is not [sufficient they shall have some of my own accommodation.” A foreign military attache was not |lon~g since discussing the Japanese generals with a subordinate officer, who declared vehemently that Yam~ agata was the greatest general who had ever lived. The foreigner smil~ ed and remarked that he presumed ibis friend had read his military his tories and knew something of the ‘achievements of Julius Caesar, Napo- ‘leon, Wellington, and a, few others. “Ali,” said the Japanese captain. ' “Yamagata has never had the oppor- tunity that those men bad. But Yamagata, with half the numbers of our Japanese soldiers at his com- mand, would beat Caesar and Napo- leon both arrayed together upon the same side against him." This did not appear to be a very commonâ€"sense remark for an officer to make, but as the attache said, in 'reporting the conversation after wards, “It will be a difficult thing, indeed, to stop an army that be- lieves in its general like that." Someone has said: “Whining is poor business; it identifies you at onceyas the under dog, and does not get you any sympathy, after all." The man who whines confesses his weakness, his inability to match his environment. It is too mudh for He cannot command the situ- All he can do is to kick and complain. The habitual whiner neVer gets anywhere, never accomplishes anything.
