Pound lhe fruit with the sugar, rub through a fine sieve; mix gradually with one pint of custard or cream, and freeze. Make peppermint water thus: Take the dried herb of peppermint. threeâ€" quarters of a pound. and as much water as will prevent it from burnâ€" ing. After seething over the fire, distil .er two quarts and bottle for use. Make sweet Spice for flavoring cakes as follows: Two ounces each of cloves. cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, one ounce of ginger, and three ounces of sugar. These ingredients should be all finely powdered, mixed Well, and passed thrice through a fine wire sieve. Store in small air- , tight tins for use.

Boil while stirring for two or three minutes, and then pour into a. wot mould. When cold turn out. and serve with custard. On Custard Makingâ€"Beat the eggs thoroughly with a fork. and strain them into the hot milk, cook in a. double saucepan, or a jug set in a pan of boiling water. Watch for the formation of the thickening on the spoon and sauczpan, then re- move instantly. Pour the custard into a cold basin, stir one way round till nearly cold and thickened. If these directions are followed cusâ€" tards will easily be made of first~ rate quality. An Elegant Fruit {Tartâ€"Bake an the and ordinary fruit tart, and when it is cold out. a large piece out of the top crust, leaving little more than the outer edge. Whip till very stiff, cream slightly colored with cochin- cal (or make a thick custard), and place it in its stead. larnish with Squares of the top crust, and in the centre of each place a small clot of the cream. This is an easilyâ€"made and daintyâ€"looking luncheon dish. Milk Rollsâ€"Rub one ounce of butter into four ounch of flour with the tips of the fingers. Add half a tea-spoonful of bakingâ€"powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir in suf- ficient milk to make it a still dough. Take rough lumps and place them on a flat floured tin. Bake in a quick oven for tWenty minutes; place on a sieve to cool. This quantity makes four or five rolls. If preferred the dough may be rolled into small oval shapes and brushed with milk or beaten egg to give a glazed apâ€" pearance.

Wet slightly; con- tinue till the ink has disappeared. How to Remove paper labels from old bottlesâ€"Wet the face of the label with water and hold it an inâ€" stand over any convenient flame. The steam formed penetrates the label at once and softens the paste. If jam is put into open tarts beâ€" fore they are baked the jam is often burned. To prevent this place a small piece of bread in each, that the tarts may not rise out of shape; re- 'I‘he borax is quite to a quart. even a very delicate place with jam. How to keep a piano.â€"-â€"In damp Weather the piano should be closed when not. in use, as dampness is its worst enemy. In dry weather open the piano so that the dry air may get. to it and keep the keys from sticking, and the ivory from turning yellow. When making jam pour a few drops of the best. salad oil into the preserving pan, and then with a. piece of soft paper rub the oil all over the bottom. This will prevent the jam from sticking to the pan, if the stirring be not quite as constant as it ought to be. Clean the coat Collar by rubbing thoroughly with a flannel dipped in- to ammonia and boiling water in equal quantities. As the surface of the flannel becomes dirty apply a fresh side. If this does not answer, I should send the coat to the cleanâ€" ers. - Whitewashâ€"Stir six pounds of whiting into cold water, avoiding all lumps. Steep three ounces of glue for twelve hours in cold water, then heat it, until it is dissolved, and pour into the whiting while hot. The wash must be of a consistency a Whitewash brush. A hint to those who dislike sun~ burnâ€"Nothing is pleasanter to use as a cure for rough sunburnt skins than plain slices of cucumber. The way to use it is to out off a thin slice, rub the skin well with it, dry- ing afterwards with a soft towel. This remedy is said to be as efficaâ€" cious as any of the compounds sold now-a-days to whiten the skin, and is for cheaper. An Eiderdown Quilt is often diffiâ€" cult to SI-OI‘C in summer, and so it is kept on the bed and gets dirty. Where space is cramped I aIWays fold my ciderdoWn into a nice Square and sew it up in a thin linen cover. Prettin covered with fancy muslin, this makes a most usaful sofa cushâ€" ion for the summer. Try ’l'hisâ€"Always rub a little soft butter 01- lord over the top of bread dough when set to rise and also afâ€" ter being molded into loaves. This prevents the forming of a hard crust. w...- I-IINTS ON JELLY MAKING. Jellies are all made alike after the juice is obtained. This is boiled 20 minutes, the sugar is then ad- ded, and as soon as it is entirely dissolved the juice nin be poured into the glasses. The following points, if carefully observed will do much to prevent poss “It! failure: The sugar should be heated before being added to the juice. The "20 minutes" should be count- ed after the boiling begins. The boiling should be brisk, not violent. There is no need of skimming until but an or and as little water 3 v' . . mglt the sugar.

It is. pleasant, certainly, to think that Togo won the battle of Tsushi- of Traâ€" however, hope ma in the centenary year falgar. We should, that history will not repeat itself too much, for if the twentieth cenâ€" tury's opening years are to be anyâ€" thing like those of the nineteenth, we have a sanguinary time in store for us. Trafalgar took place while Napoâ€" leon was in the thick of his Euro- pean campaign, and ten years elaps- ed before that terrible war was brought: to a close by Wellington at to be another us now? Waterloo. Is there ten years of terror for Events do rather suggest it. Japan’s signal victory not only does not bring instant peace with it; it threatens further wars. As para- mount poWer in the Far East, is she not likely to turn her attention to her neighbors as soon as the mood seizes her? And her neighbors comâ€" prise half the civilized world. Supposing Russia to be entirely ejected from the Pacific shores, Ja- pan will find herself gazing, not very pleasantly, straight into the not very beautiful eyes of Germany, who holds Kiaoâ€"Chau and the Shanâ€""ung peninsula, which lies right on Jaâ€" pan’s seapath to Tienâ€"Tsin and the Chinese capital. A war we may confidently await, therefore, is one between Japan and Germany, unless, of course, the lat- ter shows more than her usual affaâ€" bility. WHAT THE J APS WOULD LIKE. Fortunately, Britain has no terri- toryâ€"save the unimportant. Weiâ€"Hai-- Waiâ€"nearer to Japan than Hong- Kong, so serious complications are scarcely likely to arise so far as China is concerned. But it is a no- torious fact that Japan would very much like an outlet for her surplus population in northern Australia. Nearer to Japan than that, how- ever, lie the Philippine Islands, which seem almost destined to be joined to the Japanese group. Possibly Uncle Sam may, at some not very distant date, become emâ€" broiled with Japan, and thenâ€"well, we all remember how war began with Russia. Japan, again, is supâ€" posed to have rather an envious eye Islands, in the just now are Hawaiian which on the Midâ€"Pacific, American. France, as We know, has already had a little private view of Japan- ese teeth over the prolonged stay of “Roi.” in Saigon waters. It should not be forgotten that Annam and French Cochin China are not so very far from Japan, and, taken together with Siam, which adjoins, woul form a nice little mouthful should the Island Empire develop a landâ€" grabbing appetite. And that would bring Japan next door to Burma, which is British. EUROPEANS MAY WAR SOON. Another neighbor of Japan is Holâ€" land, who with Java, Sumatra, and other East Indian islands, possesses some attractive morsels for the J aâ€" panese palate. But it is to be hoped and expected that Japan will not prove so aggresâ€" sive a neighbor as this, for, after all she is not quite so bad as a Euro- pean I’OWer. If we want to find good war scenes for future newsâ€"bills, it is not neces- sary to look so far away as the Pacific for material. Europe has, in her OWn circle, sufficiently troubâ€" in those atâ€" lous problems, and not regions to which we give most tention. The recent rupture betWeen Norâ€" way and Sweden reminds us that we have an awkward political problem. The Norwegians View the Swedes much as the Irish at one time view- ed the English, only a little more so. A war between the two coun- tries might involve Ilussia and Gerâ€" many. ‘ Russia, seeking “revenge” for her defeat in the East, might try it on the Scandinavians, as she has alâ€" ready on the Finns; and Germany, stronger in the Baltic than Russia, might object. So there you have material for a fine Baltic "bust up.” GERMAN AMBITIONS. Another possible war would be the Dutchâ€"German conflict. It is known that tlfi! relations between Queen Wilhelmina and her German Consort, Prince Henry, have not been ideal. Rumors of an approaching separaâ€" tion are current, and; should this take place, there is no knowing but that Germany might seek to effect her dream of many years to over- whelm Holland, reduce it to the same position as Bavaria and Saxâ€" ony, as a Federal State of the Gerâ€" man Empire, and gain possession of the splendid Dutch harbors. She wonld also assume possession of the Dutch colonies in the East, which would at once give her a. new colonial empire, and enable her to think seriously of a conflict with Japan on her own grounds. We must not forget that Germany has dreams of worldâ€"empire, and Holland is an easier prey for her than Britain. Besides. Germany in the past has always used one war as a stepping-stone to another; and the Dutch war would get her into trim gfor the Britishâ€"provided, of course, The Most for Your Money and; the Best for Your Health Ceylon Tea, Positively the purest and most do licious tea in the world.

A war betWCen two allied POWers seems absurd, yet that is exactly what is threatened yearly between ITALY AND AUSTRIA. [Though united by the Triple Alliâ€" lance, those two States “enjoy” a Ilasting enmity which equals any lother. Italy cherishes a life-long grudge against Austria. by remembering that Austria was once her overlord and .oppressor. Italy also is distinctly "nervous" at the increasra of Austri- an naval power in the Adriatic, and her possession of the opposite coasts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Italy would, also, value the possession of such seaports as Trieste and Fiume, which are already more Italian in population than Austrian. Italy also is supposed to have ambitions in the division of Macedonia, which l those of are not the same as Austria. A war which may come at any moâ€" ment is the Croceâ€"Bulgarian. Though those two countries are separated by the country of Macedonia, their riv- alry and mutual hatred is so great that they are longing to get to deathâ€"blows. The dispute is for the ultimate pos- Macedonia, and Bulgaria is intriguing in the north and Greece in the south for the supre- macy. The hatred of the two naâ€" tions for each other is so great that the very existence of the Turk is al- most overlooked.

An Explorer’s Experience on. An Island on the Pacific. One of the wildest and most savage regions yet left among the cannibal [countries of the Pacific, says Everyâ€" body’s Magazine, is the great island continent of New Guinea; yet even there among the most brutal and warlike of the natives are to be found the workers of the American Bible Society, fearlessly carrying on their work. How great are the perils they meet and the c0urage With which they meet them can be gatherâ€" ed from the note-book of an explor- lcr: For three days after the hideous fate that had befallen my companions up the Fly River, I made my way alone through the dense jungle, careâ€" fully avoiding all beaten tracks, in the direction of Port Moresby, where ..f>t awaited me. quLnytho morning of the fourth day the forest suddenly opened before me, and I perceived to my terror that I had stumbled upon a Papuan Village. Close together stood some hundred conical, grassâ€"roofed huts, held high off the ground by slender bamboo piles, which gave them for all the world the aspect of houses perched on stilts. In the center of the village was oneI hut, larger than the rest, whose pointed thatch rose into the air like a steepleâ€"evidently the home .of a chief. Onthe side of the clearing rc- lnote from me I noticed the watch- men’s lookouts, small thatched shel- ters, stuck like nests among the up- per branches of trees. I had clearly lost my way, and struck a populated district. . Convinced from recent experiences that all the natives were unfriendly, I gazed with horror on the houseâ€" holders lazily sunning themselves on the high platforms of their huts. A warning from a watchman would be all that was neCessary to. turn each of them into an active and relentless enemy. I should be seized, tortured, and finally clubbed to death, to fig- ure later as the chief piece at a. feast of victory. ' . And then before my despairing eyes a miracle happened. The door Iof the large hut opened and a (white man emerged, followed by a troop of more or less clothed savages bearâ€" ing businesslike bundles on their heads. Who these men were, what was their business I did not stop to think. One of them was white; the others Were evidently under his conâ€" trol. I cleared the ground between us, and casting myself before him, demanded protection. ,, Later, fed, bathed and rested, I asked my rescuer who and what he was, what had brought him to the interior of New Guinea, and how he had been able to establish friendly relations with the villagers. "1 am the principal Bible colpor- tour of the American Society on this island,” he replied, “and the chief of this village is as much a supporter CHILDREN ARE UNDERFED. and wellâ€"wisher of ours as any Papuan can be." “But surely,” said I, "all missionâ€" ary work here Was given over since the Rev. Mr. Chalmers and his com- panions were clubbed to death by the cannibals?” “Episodes like that never stop us,” he replied, calmly. "It was the- same thing in China during the Box~ er massacres, and in a dozen remote regions where the blood of martyrs has been sown." 'And then, sitting there in the chief’s hut, which was decorated with strings of human skulls, with fetish and devil huts on each side of us and the great jungle all about, I learned more of the romance of sow- ing the Bible in foreign lands than I had ever dreamed of. W So a. Committee of London Coun- ty Council Reports. The Education Committee of the London County Council has presentâ€" ed a report to the Council with reâ€" gard to underfed and improperly fed children in the London schools. The Council, with a View of checking the deterioration existing among the London population, and securing the best results from the expenditure on education, asked the Education Committee, to consider and report as to the necessary Par- liamentary power being obtained for the provision of food Where neces- sary for the children attending rate supported school in London, and as to obtaining pOWers to reCOver the cost of such food from the parents or guardians in cases where the need arises through causes other than poverty. Following closely on this instruction an order was issued by the Local Government Board the same question, and the mittee report the sion: First, the children school underfed. Second. that others, and probably a larger number, are ill-fed. Third. that it is impossible to se- cure the best results in the case of either underfcd or ill-fed children. 1 Fourth, that the order -of the Local iGovernment Board is not likely to. ;produce good results, because it pro- 'vides for a division of authority. Fifth, that although the Council should assist in carrying out the or- ,der where local authorities desire it, lit is not for the Council to initiate- ‘proceedings thereunder. Sixth, that while the necessity for .feeding children as the last resort lout of public funds is a proposition lindorsed by the whole spirit of the lpoor law, there are strong argu- ments against seeking new legisla- tive powers at the present moment. Seventh, that the nonâ€"efficiency of present voluntary agencies to meet the demands of money of the case does not yet appear to be proved. The report of the joint committee on underfed children seems to point to the fact that although in some lfew places there has been difficulty experienced in coping with all of the needs, the difficulty has arisen from Ewant of complete organization .raz- Ether than from a. deficiency of funds. [And the joint committee apparently are of the opinion that private beneâ€" volence is not by any means yet ex- hausted. ..__+___ KEEP CHILDREN WELL.
