Peel, wash and slice three goodâ€"sized potatoes and put them into the soup; cut up half a head of white cabbage in shreds and add to 'this‘a pint of Shaker corn that has been soaked over night, two onions, one head of celery, and tomatoes if desired. ‘When these are done, and they should simmer slowly, care be- ing taken that they do not burn, strain (or not, as preferred) the soup and serve. The different variâ€" ties of beef soup are formed by this method of seasoning, and the differâ€" ent vegetables use-d in preparing it after the joints have been well boilâ€" ed. Besides onions, celery, cabbage, tomatoes, and potatoes, many use a few carrots, turnips, beats and forceâ€"meat balls, seasoned with spice. Rice or barley will give the soup consistency, and are to be preferred to flour for the purpose. Parsley, thyme, and sage are the favorite herbs for seasoning, but should he used sparingly.

BAKED FRUITS. To Bake Applesâ€"Wipe and core sour apples. Put in a baking dish anti fill cavities with sugar and spice; allow one-half cup sugar and one~fourth teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg to eight apples. If nutmeg is used, a few drops of lemon juice and few gratings from rind of lemon to each ' apple is an improvement.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If you rub grass strains with mo- laSSCS they will come out without difficulty in the ordinary wash. Spots may be removed from ging- ham by being Wet with milk and covered with common salt. Leave for an hour or so, and rinse out in. several waters. You can make a faded dress per- fectly white by washing it in boiling cream of tartar water. Salt dissolved in alcohol will often remove grease spots from clothing. Mud stains can be removed from silk if the spots are rubbed with a bit of flannel, or, if stubborn, with a piece of linen, wet with alcohol. If there is a deepâ€"set door that it is desirable to permanently close, have bookshelves fitted in. Curtains can be hung at either side or not, as one pleases. If one does not wish to fill the entire space with books, the upper shelf can be set in lower down than would he wished for books, and china or pewter and brassware placed thereon or a pic- ture hung in the space. FOR CIIAPPED I-IANDS. These are the. days when chapped hands and lips begin to be in evi- . dence, and, as usual we suppose most people will betake themselves to pure glycerinc for a remedy. It is a mistake to presume that glycerino is a cure for such a condition as this; quite on the contrary, it is a distinct uggravant. One of the best remedies for chaps We know of is quite simple, and any one could compound it in his own home. Take tcn grains of traga: canth and place these in three ounces of moderately warm, not hot, water. It must then be allowed to stand for several hours, when one ounce of gfyCC‘l‘lllC should be added. If it. is desired to' give the preparation a pleasant perfume, this may be ob- adding a small quantity of oil of roses at the same time. The whole compound should then be mix- ed thoroughly either by shaking it up well or stirring with a spoon. after which it is ready for use. This remedy is soothing, pleasant, and an almost infallible cure after two As a rule, applications. l The Canadian west is producing 20 times Britain’s annual imports of wheat.

Canada ranks tenth among the world’s wheat~producing countries. Canada’s wheat crop is nearly double that of the United Kingdom. Canada’s grain crop of all kinds reached (1.903) 275 million bushels. Prof. Tanner, the English agricul- tural chemist, says western Canada has the richest soil in the world. Canada’s wheat yield for the ten acre. Wheat yield in the United States for same period, 13 bushels per acre. Manitoba’s average wheat yield for ten years, 21 bushels per acre. Minnesota’s yield for same period, 14:, Kansas, 12; M‘15souri, 11. Canada’s western wheat contains 10 per cent. more albuminoids than the best European varieties.

'Among the thousands who have proven that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure neuralgia is Mrs. R. C. Johnson, of Simpson's Corner, N. 8. Mrs. Johnson says: "For upwards of ten years I was a sufferer from the awful pains of neur- algia. Overâ€"exertion or the least ex- posure to a cold wave would set me nearly wild with torture. I doctored with two physicians, but they did not cure me. I then tried several ad- vertised medicines, but found no benâ€" efit. The trouble continued at inter- vals that made life miserable, until six or eight months ago when a reâ€" lation of mine brought me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and urged me to try them. I used this box and then got a half dozen more, and "y the time I had used them all trace of the trouble had disappeared, and as I have not since had the slightest at- tack I feel safe in saying that tne cure is permanent.” Mrs. Johnson is one of the best known ladies in the section in which she resides, and is a. worker in the Congregaâ€" Naturally her family her nerve; then prominent tional church. and friends are rejoicing over cure, and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have made many warm friends in that section as a result of their go.)d Work.” It is because Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make new, pure, warm blood that they have such great power to cure disease.

Famous “Chain” Started Friend of Australian Hospital Still Going.‘ A recent issue of the South Aus- tralian_ Register, of Adelaide, conâ€" tains a. long and instructive article on the history, present position and future prospects of the famous Grifâ€" fin snowball letter, says London Truth. It is now nine or ten years since this "snowball" or "chain letâ€" ter” was started. It will be remembered that the thing originated in a small and in- significant local project to add a children's ward to a cottage hospi- tal in a suburb of Sydney. On the committee was a gentleman named Griffin, who was a professional stamp dealer. 1 In conjunction with his daughter 'he proposed to the committee that a chain letter should iobject of the whole business, her lprovided be started by his daughter, in. own. name, for the collection of a million used penny stamps, and that he would add to the proceeds a cer- tain sum sufficient to make up the sum required. Something in the wording of the originalâ€"probably the reference to the need of a children’s ward in a hospitalâ€"appealed to public senti- ment, which was easily gratified by the fact that all that was asked for was ten old postage stamps and the repetition of the appeal by the re- cipient. The letter at once spread like wildfire, passed from New South Wales into the other Australian col- anies, to England, the United States and to any number of FOREIGN COUNTRIES. I have myself seen copies of it in French, German and Spanish, among. other languages, the Spanish ver- sion coming from South America; and the South Australian Register states that 1] 0 implies have come in “almost. every known language and dialect.” ' g The original letter contained, in the usual form, an intimation that when the reduplication of the ap- peal reached a certain numberâ€"I be- lieve it was eightyâ€"it should be stopped; but, as always happens, this number was speedily altered through the thick headedness of the copyist, who never seem to reflect that the mere duplication of the letâ€" ter to the eighty “powar” implies the dcspatch and record of more let- ters than there are human beings in the world. In the same way, the address, and even the name, of Miss Grifiin became mangled beyond reâ€" cognition, and many letters are now in circulation directing the contriâ€" bution of stamps to be sent to places and countries remote from New South Wales. As regards the result of all this letter writing and stamp collecting, the information given by the South Australian Register is most. interâ€" esting. I have been under the imâ€" pression myself that some time ago the New South Wales post office took the drastic step of stopping the delivery of the letters; but on this point I find that I have been mis- informed. It turns out that the letâ€" ters have been and still are being delivered, so far as is practicable. It seems, however, that Mr. and Miss Griffin themselves long ago be- came tired of the LABOR AND EXPENSE involved in merely opening the let- ters and sorting their contents, as well they mignt under the circum- stances; and ever since 1902 Mr. Griffin has handed over his mails in bulk to the hospital. He says that he has thereby lost many private letters addressed to himself, which serves him right. And what does the hospital do with these mountains of correspon- dence? It simply sells them in bulk for what they will The present rate is $2.75 a The secretary of the hos- pital is of the opinion that occasâ€" ionally the buyers make a good thing out of it, for the reason that the letters now and then contain contributions in cash as well as in old stamps, and it has happened that a buyer who has found money among the letters has been so conâ€" fetch. thousand. scientious as to return it to the hospital. Such cases, hOWever, are rare. At any rate, the hospital evidently considers that the chance of finding an occasional post oflice order or check instead of stamps is too specuâ€" it would have to inéur in opening and lsorting the letters. land 1902, ito crown the absurdity of the thing, ling on, Between 189'? when Mr. Griffin worked the thing himself, he paid over to the hospital $655. In 1902 the hospital sold letters to the value of |$130, in 1903 it sold some seventy. bylthousands for $250, and in 1904 the sales realized $150. In about, nine years, fli-i'efore, the results of this monumental appeal to the charity of the civilized world were $1,185. BEARING 1N MIND, (1) that this is very far from being the full market value of the contents- lof the letters; (2) that a great part ‘of them cost the senders five cents- ieach in postage, and the rest two- cents each, and (3) that many thouâ€" sands of letters have never reached Ltheir destination at all, some idea {may be obtained of the waste which {this whole idiotic scheme has evolved ifrom beginning to end. The post-- jagcs alone would account for many thousands of dollars. For all this ,the hospital gets $1,185. Finally, the was long ago, the'hospital having constructed a new men’s ward and appropriated the old one :the children’s ward which was 'for the use of the children. The snowball, however, is still roll- wifh apparently unabated energy. and it is likely to do so in- definitely. ‘ AWAKENING . It ought to be a pleasure to look forward to baby’s awakening. I-Ie BABY’S should awaken bright, smiling and full of fun, refreshed by sleep and ready for a good time. I-Iow many parents dread their child’s voice, beâ€" cause they know when he awakes he will cry and fret and keep everyone on the move until he falls aslezp again from sheer exhaustion. These crying fits make the life of the inex- perienced mother a torment. 'And yit baby is not crying for the fun of the thingâ€"there is something wrong, though the mother may not see anyâ€" thing ails the child. Try Baby’s Own Tablets in cases of this kin-‘1, and we venture to say baby Wlll wake up happy and smilingâ€"an alto- gether different child. Here is proof from Mrs. John S. Sutherland, Bliss- field, N.S., who sayszâ€"“My baby was terribly cross, and often kept awake half the night before I got Baby’s Owr. Tablets for her. Sinue I began giving her the Tablets, she is perfectly well, sleeps soundly all night, and wakes up bright and fresh in the morning.” Baby’s Own Tablets are a safe medicine for chil- dren of all ages.

Medicine 00., May be Expected Along Next March or April. Abbe Mercau, of Paris, in a letter on the Subject of the recent solar activity, says:â€" “As solar activity will slowly di minish, it is highly probable that earthquakes will occur in March and April next." V It will be remembered that; Abbe Ii’foreau in a previous article, which was widely published, predicted the earthquakes which a few months ago devastated India, and which he held due to sun spots. , IIe declared in an article published last week:â€" "There is a connection between so- lar activity and Velcanoes and even earthquakes. The awakening of in- ternal forces of the globe coincides with the sudden change in the curve of the sun spots. The number of dis- turbances alone is not a decisive facâ€" tor. ’l‘here must be sudden augmen- tations or diminutions.
