The mistress should serve the soup from the dish plat-ed on the table. Note that it is not good form to serve too large a quantity: only a small portion as an appetizer for the more substantial vi- ands which follow. Never use butter that is in the least off flavor. White pepper makes a more delieate soup. It soups maigre are too thick. they are not relished and they lark body if too thin. Soups should be served very hot.

"0.0000000-.0000e000, TH E BIRTHDAY FLOWER About the Mist. 5 On the eve of Nel :wx's departure on a. famous cruise. h... coachman said what the carriage would be at the ;door punctually at six o’clock. "A {quarter before," said the admiral. "l hme always been a quarter of an hour before my time, and it has made a man ‘of me. :' Franklin said to a servant who was !always late, but always ready with an ‘excuse: "I have generally found that .the man wh, is good with an excuse jig Jrood, for nothing else." itt " It is not necessary for me to live," said Pompey, " but it is necessary that I be at a certain point at acer- tair: hour." Napoleon once invited his marshals to dine with him, but as they did not arrive at the moment appointed, he began to eat without them. They came in just as be was rising from the ta- ble. "Gentlemen," said he, .. it is now past dinner, and we will imme- diately proceed to business." Irv, admiring a vase of flowers-Are they not beautiful? Do you know, they remind me of you. «She, softly-Hut they are artificial. _ Be-Ah, yes; but youd never know A Manchester doctor. after five years' observation and experience of influenza, states that cinnamon is the best drug to cure the disease. It may be taken as a decoction. or in the form at tabloids. " If a man has no regard for the time of other men," said Horace. Greely, " why should we have for their money! What is the difference between tak- ing a man's hour and taking his five dollars? There are many men to whom eavts hour of the business day is worth more than five dollars." " I give it as my deliberate and sol- emn conviction," said Dr. Fitch, "that the individual who is tardy in meet- ing an appointment will never be re- specrted or successful in lite."' There is one thing that is almost as sacred as the marriage relation-. that is, an appointment. A man who fails to meet his appointment, unless he has a good reason, is practically a liar, and the world treats him as such. Very stiffworkdoes more damage to your linen than ' washing and wear combined. Solid and flexible is the thing. SACREDNESS OF APPOINTMENTS SURE MOUTH. Children frequently have sores on their tongues, caused from a deranged stomach, more commonly known as story blisters. Sulphur is the very best remedy known. It stands far ahead of the mouth washes composed of sage, borax, alum, ete., and is not so painful. If the child is too small to hold the sulphur in its mouth dry, mix it with butter. If it swallows it so much the better. ABOUT IRONING. To get the best results the tstarehing should be solid, stiff enough to stand wear. and flexible enough to give to your movements. The white of an egg will allay the smart otaburn if bound upon it im- mediately, excluding the air. VALUE OF EGGS. Eggs can be used as a substitute tor paste or mucilage to tseal aletter or a Jar of jelly. Bait a dozen eggs given Immediately after an emetic wilt rennet corrosive sublimate harmless. The white of an egg beaten and swallowed will dislodge. a fish' bone from the throat. Another teat of a thoroughly fresh egg is the distinctness with which the yolk may be seen when the egg is held up to the light. A high polish should not be aimed at but instead a fine even tinish. Neck- bands of shirts should be ironed in their original shape. and set up at In testing eggs remember that a. good egg will sink and abud egg will swim; if it is difficult to re- member whivh is which. just stop to think that afresh egg sinks because of the water in. its own compositipn. When a mustard plaster is mixed with the white of an egg, instead of water, no blister will follow its appli- cation. CHILDREN'S FOOD. While mothers should keep their children clothed as well as means and time permit, they must not forget that, while any old thing may do for a child to wear without serious discomfort, too much care cannot he taken in re- gard to food. This is especially true of the growing children in school. An eminent physician says that "school experiences are particularly apt to en- courage irritation and waste of nerve and muscle tissue. Hence the need during school life of special care with respect to diet." LET THE CHILDREN LAUGH. Chavaase, an eminent surgeon, says: "Eneourage your children to be merry and to laugh aloud. A good, hearty laugh expands the cheat and makes the blood bound merrily along. Commend me to a good laugh, not to a lit- tle, sniggering laugh, but to one that will sound right through the house. It will not only do your child good, but will be a benefit to all who hear and be an important means of driving the blues away troma dwell- ing. Merrimonr is very catching and spreads in a remarkable manner, few being able to resist the contagion. A hearty laugh is delightful harmony. Indeed it is the beat at all music. She should nist try to break her boy's will, but be thankful that he ia manly enough to have a mind of tus own.

CURE FOR INFLUENZA HE WAS REMINDED ONTARIO ARCHI TORONTO 'l‘lmlhnmh of To“. Were Avnllablo For FN. pnrt Last Yetou A few years ago some of the best writers on the Russian Empire, In- cluding Prince Krapotkin, believed that the wheat producing capabilities of Siberia has been much overrated, and that the country would never be able to produce much more of the co- real than it needs for its own consump- tion. But as the Siberian railroad has pushed through new regions, and thou- sands of Russian families have followed its advance and made new homes, it begins to look as though the writers who held pessimistic views concerning Siherian agrieulture were mistaken. In the Altaimining district, last year over 330,000 tons of surplus wheat were produced and only 5 per cent. of the available agricultural lands have yet beer. brought into cultivation. In the fertile steppe country opened up by the western section of the railroad, 64,500 tons of wheat were raised for ex- port where until recently it was no- cessary to import wheat every year for local consumption. The Empress of Japan has the privi- lege accorded to none of her predeces- gorse She is allowed to eat at the same table with the Emperor, and he consults her in regard to political matters. The Empress is fond of horse- back riding, and also exercise: every day in her private gymnasium. This is iihtortunate, but the most enthusiastic of 1r.W.vptoloitisrfs willcon- fess that the sacrifice is not in vain. Finally the engineers modified their plans, and the dam will he one-third lower than was at first proposed. Still, when the reservoir is finished. Philae will never be itself again; for the waters will wash the feet of the tem- ples that for ages have stood like sen- iinels guarding the boundary of Nu- bin - 'ml Egypt. Miles of petitions were drawn up and tsubmitted to the authorities, and scores of alternative plans suggested some of them worthy the imaginative minds that had conceived them. One was to remove Philae, stone by stone, to Cairo, thus bringing it still easier within the reach of tourists. A curious Obstacle was at the outset placed in the way of realizing the scheme. The original plans for the construction of the dam would have involved the disappearance of the fam- ous ruins of Philae. The period (War which this payment is to extend must carry conviction to the minds of other nations who have set longing eyes on the valley of the Nile that Great Britain means to hold onto it, for some time, at any rate. _ Now, as to the cost. When one cou- siders the stupendous character of the scheme. the many difficulties that will have to be overcome. and the inealeul- able benefits that will accrue, the price does not appear exorbitant. The con- tractors are to receive, in round fig- ures, f160,000 a year for thirty years. making in_ all about dl4,800,0N. The work will be completed in a lit- tle over five years from now. This is the first time a river approaching the size of the Nile has had adam built in it. Another novel thing about this altogether novel underlaking isthat it will be both a dam and a waterway. On its completion the reservoir will hold 2i50,000,00h000 gallons of water, and across this huge artificial lake tl bridge will stretch, and camel trains and pedestraiua will pass over, and all will be life and hustle and hurry. Never had the descendants of Pharaoh such a shaking up. Here is a chance for the "depress- ed" British farmer. Let him go to Egypt. ’lhe soil there, when it can get Nile water, is more kind than that a; home, Cotton and sugar command high prices, and one acre will pro- duco from four to five hundredweight of long-staple cotton. When the great den: is completed vast tracts of land will be capable of producing two, if no.!,. three, crops in the year. Five thousand dusky natives are al- ready at work; one order for 8,000,- 000 barrels of European cement has been or is about to be delivered; thou- sands of tons of granite ashlar are be- ing quarried from the Assuan side of the river. Never has the ancient river on whose bosom Moses was cradled seen such industry. John Bull has very much arrived. The dam will be built of material taken from the quarries at Aswan, whence came the granite used for the construction of the Thames emuauk- ment. MILLIONS OF ACRES OF LAND will be irrigated; 2,500. square miles will be reclaimed from the deserts; in short, the dam will increase the country's productive capacity by :15 per cent. Egypt's output of raw sugar will in a year or uh. no doubled per- haps trebled. And what is the object of it all? " Egypt is the Nile, and the Nile is Egypt." In that uncnent saying the whole business may be summed up. The dam will bo le up the rich Nile wa- tere; C English engineers and English eur- veyors have planned this great enter- prise, English money is at the back of it, and English bondholders will, next perhaps to the, cultivator; of the soil on the Nile banks, derive the great- eat benefit.

Since the building of the pyramid: Egypt has seen few such gigantic un- dertakings an the construction of the great reservoir dam at Auunn, the foundation atone of which was laid a few days ago by the Duke of Con- naught, says the London Mail. This dam will be a mile and squar- ter in length; .the height of the cop- ingstone, will be 800 feet above the bed of the lower river, and for 140 miles Father Nile will feet the influence ot this great impounding of waters.
