A New Rule For Raspberry Shortcake.â€"~The ordinary raspberry Shortcake is inferior to strawberry Shortcake principally because raspâ€" berries do not give enough juice, even if a great many are used. To overcome this difficulty, make the shortcake in the usual way, and for the filling use a box of rasp- berries and a box of currants. Put the currants through a sieve with a cup of sugar, and add the juice thus obtained to the raspberries, and another cup of sugar, mashing the berries very slightly. The fill- ing may be used either plain or with a little whipped cream added; cover the top of the cake with whipped cream decorated with rasp- berries. Th-e flavor of the raspber~ ries is so much stronger than that of the currents that you do not taste the latter at all. Useful IIints. _ Keep a few pieces of charcoal 1n the refrigerator. They will absorb the odors of food. If a cloth i? dampened with strong tea, it will serve as an excellent cleanser of varnished paint. A bit of left-over fish, especially salmon or halibut, will make a dell- cious forcemeat for stufling peppers or tomatoes. , . Silver that had been stained with egg is quickly cleaned by rubbing with damp salt or with a cloth dampened with ammonia. _ It is well to wash an embroidered pongee in gasoline. While the water might not injure the pongee, it might the embroidery. Occasionally iodine stains get on bedding or linen. If the spots are covered with ammonia or alcohol and washed the stain will disap- pear.â€" Should. grease be spilled on mat- ting apply at once a thin paste of fuller’s earth. As soon as it drles, cover with a paper and do not re- move for two or three days. . A splendid way of washing Chinâ€" ese crepe is to make a strong lath- er of boiling water and white soap; when it is nearly cold, wash the crepe quickly and rinse in a strong solution of salt and water. Hang to dry in the open air. _.___._.q‘._._.__â€" FOUND A WAY To Be Clear of Tea and Coffee Troubles. “Husband and myself both had the coffee habit, and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a had condition that he was compell- ed to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and there didn’t seem to be an o.- gan in his body that was notraffect- ed.’ ’ ‘ Tea. is just as harmful because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee. “I told him I felt sure his sick- ness was due to coffee, and after some discussion he decided to give it up. , “It was a struggle, because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Poetum and concluded to try it, and then it was easy to leave off coffee. ‘ “His fearful headaches 'grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better, until at last he was a new man altogether as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it, too. “Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before I began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size, I think.” Name given by Canadian Post-um (70., Windsor, Ont. Write for booklet, “The Road to Wellvillc.” Postum comes in two forms. Regular I’ostum (must be boiled.) Instant Postum doesn’t require boiling, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more, and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and tem- per it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future. MR. ARTHUR MEIGHEN. _â€" Canada’s New ‘ Solicitor-General Is Earnest and Strcnuous. Arthur Meighen, the new Solici- tor-General, was one of the few earnest young men on the Govern- ment side who had a-ch-ance to dis- tinguish themselves at the last strenuous Parliamentary session. Born in 1876, the new Solicitor- General is only 37 years old. In appearance he looks almost absurd- ly young when pitting his legal knowledge and power of argument against the veterans of Parliament. But he has a power of clear think- ing and forceful expression that wins him respect and attention, and it must he confessed that in the Mr. Arthur Mcighen. Solicitor-General for Canada. closure debate his knowledge of the subject, his citations of precedents and of English Parliamentary prac- tice, and his general array of facts was very convincing. Mr. Meighen is a barrister, and his legal training has developed a naturally keen, analytical mind. He reads history and precedent with a marvellous industry, retain- ing the points he needs in debate and marshalling them without hesi- tation or the slightest delay. In the House sometimes his desk, his seat, and the desk of his. neighbors on each side would be piled high with volumes of authorities, ' each one with paper marks inserted. When the time came to read a quotation, the legalâ€"minded young member for Portage la Prairie put his finger on the place at once. It reminded one of the power and dexterity an or- gan player develops in handling his notes and stops. What would in other hands inevitably prove a dry, laborious speech is, in the hands of Arthur Meighen. a quick-fired, per- sistent, keenly-aimed, and precisely quoted argument, deliver-ed with spirit and with life. And his arguâ€" ments are not sophistieal. He gets at the facts and uses them with great effect. In his: passages with the wily Dr. I’ugslcy and other vet- erans of debate, Arthur Meighen didn’t come. off second best. The young lawyer has a brilliant way of going indignantly at the specious argument and boring a hole through it with the forefinger of one hand, the other keeping the place in his book of reference the meanwhile. His voice is a. little harsh and argumentative in tone rather than musical or oratorical, but for logical uses of legal argu- ment across the floor of the House it is a very suitable and effective organ, the words having clearness despite their swift articulation, and the voice itself a carrying power very satisfactory to those who, sit- ting at a distance, wish neverthe- less to hear. Arthur Mcighen was born in 1876 in Perth County, Ontario. He graduated from Toronto University in 1896. He married in 1904, and has two boys. Mrs. Meighen is one of the prettiest wives of the young- er Parliamentary set at Ottawa. She was a constant and popular visitor to the. Speaker’s Gallery during the debates last session, and no listener betrayed a greater inâ€" terest in her clever young hus- band’s brilliant speeches than she did. -31- Grocerâ€"“What was that woman complaining about 7” Clerkâ€"“The long wait, sir.” Grocerâ€"“And only yesterday she was grumbling about the short weight.

Doctors Recognize the Action of Harmonies on Minds of Maniacs. The oldest legends of antiquity tell us what a mysterlous power the men of those days sometimes attributed to music. The songs of Orpheus and the sound of his lyre even, it is said, attracted wild beasts, which came crawling up to listen- at his feet, vanquished. The allâ€"powerful beauty of the song of this .ero even softened the hearts of the pitiless divinities of Hades. M. Nitcllo, in an article on this subject published in Medicina, rc- cnll-s how, to the sound of Am- phion’s lyre, the stones became animated and came to place them- selves one upon another to build the City of Thebes. It is difficult to take these pretty legends literally; it is perhaps more rational to believe Old Homer when he says that when Ulysses had been wounded by a wild boar, mu- sic made him forget the pain. That is the first case on record in which a remedy is sought in this art. The Greeks claimed that Escula- pins was a‘son of Apollo. Though it is no longer possible to believe, in accordance with this legend, that Medicine is the daughter of Music, at least it is permissible to think, 'says M. Nitello, that they are two sisters, the elder of which sometimes gives aid to the other. Reacts on Lunacy. But to leave this distant period and come down to Ce-lsi, it is seen that this doctor recognizes already the action of music on the minds of lunatics. Then this same art is in- dicated by various authors as a remedy for the most diverse ail- ments. Ga-lien recommends it for snake bites; Athenea, Theophrasâ€" tus and Aulu Gele believe in its happy influence on sciatica and gout; Theocritus and Thales see in it a means of contending against pest. It is especially in the treatment of nervous diseases that music has given the best results. Cases of hysteria and epilepsy seem some- times to have been cured by con- certs. The attack, treated at the start, ceased and subsequently oc- curred more rarely and ended by not appearing any more. For a long time past musicother- any has been employed in a rationâ€" al manner. It has been used in the treatment of madman. Esquirel organized concerts at Chareaton, but he was not very well satisfied with the results obtained. In 1840 Leurct, at Bicetre, renewed the same attempt, but also without much' success. Since this period atâ€" tempts have often been made to di- vert madmen in this way. It would appear that in the treatment of madness music has not given the good results expected. But if the experiment has not been a success it may be because music is felt in a different manner by every human being and the more so must that be the case with those who are dis- eased. . Must Touch Patient. The music chosen must touch the patient without, however, the effect being too strong. It is also desirâ€" able that it should be “en rapport” with the troubles of which the pa- tient complains. If his circulation is bad, music of a somewhat violent character will have an excellent ef- fect on him. If, on the other hand, he is suffering from a stomach ailâ€" ~p (mgr-rs LYE EATS pm -‘w ‘ .Q.

If a convalescent is under treat- ment and it is desirable to rouse him from a state of torpor, it is noâ€" cessary to play him a lively march, one of those which are so effective in rousing up soldiers who are tired wit-h marching, giving them new vigor. In this case it is on the loco- motor nerves that it is necessary to act, but one must influence first of all the nerves governing the sen- sibi-lity. , In the case of ailments of the mind, for instance. it is first of all the nerves governing the sensibil- ity that an effort must be made to touch. Music is at once a means of exciting the body, which has be- come diseased, and a diversion for the mind. To those minds which are'no longer conscious of the ordi- nary life of the world of music can still speak. It seems even as if it could put into the brains of the in- sane a gleam of life. It ought to be able to gather up from afar ideas which have been lost and bring them back to reason. If music can- not curc, it can sometimes soothe. U4 A WALKER ON OUR ARMS. Habit Still Clings, Which Is Why ' We Swing Them. If you watch people walk you will note that nearly all of them move their arms. If they walk slowly the movement of their arms is scarcely perceptible; if they walk rapidly their arms generally swing vigorously. Most people believe this swinging of the arms as they walk is merely a natural swaying mot-ion, caused by the movement of the body just as the tassel of an umbrella will swing when one is walking with it, but this is by no means the reason. The swinging of the arms is natural enough, but the nature of it dates away hack to those unknown days when man .was a quadruped. Of course, when men was a four- footed animal he walked with his “arms” as well as his legs, and even to-day after the thousands upon thousands of generations that have passed since he assumed an. upright position, every time he takes a step his arm moves a trifle. involuntarily, as though desirous of taking a step in its turn just as it did when a man, then four-footed, pranced up and down the earth. Many persons can move their ears a trifle, many can move their scalps, and there is an abundance of hair scattered about our arms and legs, now useless, but still the remains of the abundant coating of hair that; once kept our anthropoid ancestors warm.
