Pigeon Pieâ€"Draw, cleanse, and Itruss four pigeons neatly. .Blanch and mince the livers with one ounce of beef marrow, four peeled mushâ€" rooms, oncâ€"half pound of veal, some picked sweet herbs, and one table- spoonful of fine bread crumbs. Seas~ on it all with pepper, salt, and grated nutmeg, and mix well.

CoV'er down the pie with nice paste, making a hole in the center. and decorating this with ornamental leaves of the pas- try. Bake in a. moderate oven. lie- fore serving pour a gill of clear, rich gravy into the pie through the opening. Scalloped Pigeonsâ€"Remove the fil- lets from the breasts of four pigeons, halving each, and thus making eight pieces. Put these fillets, into a pan with two mushrooms, one ounce of butter, one bay leaf, the juice of half a lemon, and a tablespoonful of port wine, and let it simmer till cooked. Meanwhile halve four sheep's kidneys, season with pepper, and dip each into liquefied butter. When the pigeon fillets are cooked lay a half fillet into a well buttered scallop shell, previously dusted with spiced bread crumbs, lay a halved kidney on each, then cover this again with three trimmed mushrooms, also dipâ€" ped in butter, and strew liberally with the spiced bread crumbs. Place the shells in a hot oven, and as soon as the mushrooms are cooked the dish is ready. Serve the shells on a napkin, garnished with sliced lemon and parsley. ' Pigeons in Cucumber.â€"Halve a large cucumber lengthwise, peel thin- ly and hollow out each half. Now slice the meat from the breasts of four pigeons, season with pepper and salt, and stew them gently in rich stock with some sliced truffles. When parâ€"cooked pack the meat in four blocks in one-half of the cucumber, laying a dressed lamb’s kidney ' be- tween each, and strew with sliced truffle. Cover with the other half cucumber, tying this into shape with tape in three or four places. Now place the cucumber in a shallow pan that will hold it without breaking, pour the liquor in which the pigeons were parâ€"cooked over it, and simmer it gently till the cucumber is tender. Now lift it out, drain, pour a well beaten egg over it, dust with fine bread crumbs, and set before the fire till of a nice golden brown color basting it occasionally with butter in the process. Dish on stewed artiâ€" choke-S, Covered with thick browu gravy, and a garnish of Watercress. Pigeons in Spanish Onionsâ€"Pluck, cleanse, and bone some young, small and plump pigeons, remove the heads and blanch the birds. Peel and blanch as many large onions as you have birds, removing the centers and pressing the pigeons into the spaces thus left. New pack the birds side by side in a shallow stewpan, lined with sliced bacon, the hearts of the onions, and the livers of the birds. Put in one ounce of butter, aid when this begins to hiss over the fire add half a. pint of veal gravy. Let this boil up, then draw it aside and keep it simmering slowly for an hour. Dish the birds and keep them hot. Meanwhile, mince the livers, add them to a little well made melted butter, stirring into this slowly a good tablespoonful of thick cream, pour this round the birds, and serve. RICE RECIPES. Butteredâ€"This is a nice made over entree. Boil rice in the usual way and after draining well press while warm into a bowl or mold. Next day turn it out carefully upon a pie plate and set in a quick oven. When it is hot all through draw to the door of the oven and butter abun- dantly. Shut the oven door and brown lightly. Butter again and sift a thick coating of grated cheese (Par- mesan, if you have it) over all. Leave in the OVer for a few minutes to melt the cheese and heap irregu- larly with a meringue of the whites of two eggs beaten up with a pinch of celery salt. Brown lightly, slip a spatula under the mold and transfer carefully to a hot platter. It is a pretty, yet a. simple, side dish, good and easily made.

Put the rice into a dish and pour the contents of the frying pan all over it, loosening the mass with a fork to allow the sauce to penetrate it. . . ‘ Boiledâ€"Put a pint of rice into $1,111 nearly two quarts of cold milk an ‘ 3 y hour before dinner, add two teaâ€" spoons salt, boil slowly, and stir often; cook on back part of stove or range so as to avoid burning and take it up into a mold or bowl Wet in cold water a short time before serving. Or, after cooking, drain carefully, stir in two well beaten eggs, one tablespoon grated cheese, half a tablespoon butter, half a tea- spoon salt; bake a few minutes in shallow pans.

When washing articles, the flanâ€" nels first, the calico and muslin garâ€" ments next, lastly towels, clusters and rougher articles. A cloth wrung out of boiling water and placed round a mould containing jelly will do much to bring it out whole and without sticking. Those who take cold easily after washing their head should rub a lit- tle eau de cologne or other spirit into the scalp after the hair is dried. To keep a fruit or seed cake moist, place it in an airâ€"tight tin with a good sound apple, renewing the apple if it becomes in the least decayed. Those whose skin is inclined to be. yellow should never apply to it any lotion that contains glycerine. Elderu flower water, instead, will best suit such complexions. Hair brushes in daily use should be washed at least once a month. Put a little ammonia into the Water, and dip the brushâ€"bristles onlyâ€"into this. Dry the brush in the open air. Cover grease spots on wood or stone with flour, starch or powdered chalk, which will absorb the grease Cold water thrown on grease as soon as it is spilled will harden it; the greater part may then be scraped off. Don’t give children medicine that has been ordered for a. grownâ€"up person. This is always dangerous, as what has only a very mild effect upon the system of an adult is sufâ€" ficient to upset a child for weeks af- terwards. If a can is allowed to stand with sour milk or whey it becomes so inâ€" fected that the usual washing has but little effect, owing to the thin film of casein that forms on the tin and affords a constant daily supply of bacteria. See that the sides or wall of your meat safes are occasionally scoured with soap, or soap and slaked lime. All places where provisions are kept should be so constructed that a brisk current of cool air can be made to pass through them at will. If you haVe a COVered pan in which to roast meat, never open it to baste the meat. Keep covered from first to last. The idea is that the Dr. son. an y pan is full of steam, which pene- trates the fibre of the meat. If deâ€" sired to brown the outside, leave the cover off a short time in a quick oven. ' At the first sign of a corn or bunion the feet should be bathed every morning in cold or warm wa- ter to which a little alum or vineâ€" gar has been added. This is a soothâ€" ing bath, also, for swollen feet, and leaves a. nice sensation of freshness. Feet that are inclined to Corns or bunions should be bathed at. night with lavender water or very slightâ€" ly diluted vinegar. ._.____..+_......__. 80 CARELESS OF HIM. Joseph M. Stoddart, whose ac- quaintance among authors and ar- tists extends over two hemispheres and half a. century of activity, tells ICtS' this story of a meeting with Edgar Saltus, novelist and wit, in London a few months ago. “I had just ar- rived in London from Liverpool, and was hurrying down Fleet street, when I came face to face with Sal- tus,” said Mr. Stoddart. “He drawled an inquiry as to where I was hurrying from, and I remarked that I was just over from New York.

The in- crease of $2,624,751.50 in. deposits and $106,325 in note circulation can- not fail to be gratifying to the shareholders, as it affords convincing evi- dence Of a. growth of public confidence in the Bank, of which any Canadian institution might be proud. The assets show an increase of $3,065,831.49 over last year, and amount to $11,669,905.58. Of this there is in actual cash or at credit with our bankers $1,569,682.57 or me re than the entire capital of the Bank. The increase in the “Bank Premises” accouut is chiefly due to the pur- chase of a valuable site on the principal financial thoroughfare in Mont- real and the erection of a, firstâ€"class tenâ€"storey building, the ground floor of which will be occupied by the Montreal Branch and the first floor by the General Manager and his staff. The number of Shareholders on 29th April, 1905, was 887 as com- pared with 841 in 1904, representing an average holding of 14.64 shares per stockholder.

In moving the adoption of the Directors’ Report, the President spoke as followa: ' The ‘Directors and myself feel that the actual earnings and position of the Bank are now sufficient to warrant an increase in the dividend. The 'rate for the present quarter will be 1'; per cent., or 6 per cent. per an- num. We fully expect to be able to maintain this rate, and also make handsome additions to the j.cserve Fund,and otherwise strengthen the Bank. The General Manager spent tliree months in Great Britain and the Continent, and was very successful in furthering the interests of the Dalnk in England, owl in the financial centres of Europe. GENERAL MAMA GER’ S ADDRE S S . The Gcn'eral lila'nager stated that- the surplus over all public liabili- ties Was $1,700,000, and over 40 per cent. of the assets immediately available; the proportion of the latter being 57 per cent. of the total deposits, which was a highly satisfactory showing. rl'he overdue debts Were good, and only temporarily past due, the Bank having written off or provided for all bad and doubtful debts out of the year's profits. The Bank had 26,725 depositors and 6,185 discount customers, mak- ing a, total of 32,910, which he considered a splendid clientelle to have acquired in three years. The deposits average but 8311 per custom-er, and the loans show an average of $1,400 per borrower, which ought to satisfy the most exacting shareholder. Excluding directors’ applications for the new issue of stock, the Bank liad received subscriptions for nearly 5,000 shares, while the total issue was only 3,250. There were only 272 shares lrft after allotment, and these have been oversubscrlbed for nearly ten times. Referring to these facts, Mr. Stewart stated that this was the greatest compliment the management of the Sovereign Bank could have received, an-dlit should be a powerful influence in further establishing the confidence of the public in the institution. The following directors were unanimously re-elecfcd:- Randolph Macdmxald, A. A. Allan, D. M. Stewart, Hon. Tl. McMillan, Hon. Peter McLarcn, Arch'. Campbell, 131.13., John I’ugsloy, W. K.
