There was a ring of passionate truth in Monty‘s words. He believed what he was saying. Perhaps he was right. The man‘s inborn hatred of a second or inferior place in anything stung him. _ Were there to be any niches after all in the temâ€" ple of happiness to which he could never climb? _ He looked back rapidâ€" ly, looked down the avenue of a squalid and unlovely life, saw himself the child of drinkâ€"sodden and brutal parents, remembered the Board School with its unlovely sun'oundings, his struggles at a dreary trade, his runâ€" ning away and the fierce draughts of delight which the joy and freedom of the sea had brought to him on the morning when he had crept on deck, a stowaway, to be lashed with every ropeâ€"end and to do the dirty work of every one. .

Friedrich Krupp ‘originated the smithy, and for fourâ€" ’teen years struggled against poverty. He died a poor man, and on his deathâ€" bed confided the secrets he had disâ€" ;covered during his lifetime to his son iAlfred. It was more than twenty years before Alfred Krupp gained reâ€" ;cognition, but after obtaining fame through exhibiting a fortyâ€"five ton !cast ingot of Krupp steel at the Crysâ€" tal Palace Exhibition in 1851, he never looked back. When he died, in ‘1887, 60,000 people followed him to \the grave. Toâ€"day Krupps‘ works lcover 1,000 acres of ground. Even beâ€" fore the warâ€"rush commenced the firm were employing 60,000 men at their main works at Essen and thousâ€" ‘ands of others in their collieries, shipâ€" ‘building yards, and private testing w'grounds. It is estimated that over 300,000 people depend on Krupps for their livelihood. Work at Krupps‘ is conducted in great secrecy. Each worker is forâ€" bidden to enter any office or workshop not connected with his own departâ€" ment. He has a passport for his special job, and he must not take any interest in any other. Krupps‘ private army will march him off to the private barracks if he disobeys. Hundreds of watchmen, heavily armâ€" ed, guard the secrets of the Krupps‘ works both day and night, and the grounds are a mass of electrie traps which immediately signal the apâ€" proach of any intruder.

Some grains of rice will always stick to the pan, and to remove these put a small pat of butter in the pan, and as this melts the grains will fall away. The rice will take quite 10 minutes to dry, and should never be served until the moisture has been got rid of and the grains separated. If the rice is boiled too slowly or for too long a time, the result will be a sticky mass. A good plan is to pour in a pint of cold water when the rice is sufficiâ€" ently cooked. This stops the boiling and helps to separate the grains; if put close to the stove when the rice is first put into the pan, the cook will be able to throw in into the pan the moment the rice is tender.

Household Hints. Two Rice Dishes. Aiter a long career in London, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson retired to her native town of Aldeburgh, and She remembers that the only time before the war when the authorities showed any special interest in getâ€" ting and keeping hold of her was when a magistrate, not, without comâ€" ments, sentenced her to six weeks‘ imprisonment. For forty years her mother and her aunt had worked with all propriety, for the cause of Women‘s Rights. After that space of time, the ridicule of Parliament and the booings of medical studentsâ€"of students beaten on their own ground â€"palled on the younger generation, and a window was broken. Some good, as it happened, came of the inâ€" cidentâ€"and the sentence. Miss Garâ€" rett Anderson‘s articles on the condiâ€" tions and management of women in prison make, with Lady Constance Lytton‘s papers on the same subject, an invaluable basis for reform. The family record is an extraorâ€" dinary one. Her mother, Dr. Elizaâ€" beth Garrett Anderson, was one of the first women doctors. She beâ€" gan her medical studies in 1860; and though the College of Surgeons and the College of Physicians refused to admit her to their examinations, she obtained a license to practise from the Society of Apothecaries in 1865. Paris had fewer prejudices than Lonâ€" don and, passing the medical examinâ€" ations of its University, she receive ed her M.D. degree. Later on, when England realized that she was not to be denied, honors were not lackâ€" ing, and her daughter‘s degree is a London one. ity? Not, certainly, by the fostering foresight of a paternal Government. No count was taken before the war of the possibility of a woman doing the things she is doing, and even afâ€" ter the war was well in hand there was still no effort made to secure the services of the whole group of exâ€" traordinary young Englishwomen to which she belongs. She now holds authority equal to that of a Major in the R.A.M.C., and the Press is eager to give her the salute. She raâ€" ther relishes the humor of the situaâ€" tion when she tries to persuade the public, against its will, that she is not a Majorâ€"that no woman can hold a commission in his Majesty‘s Army. Since September Miss Louisa Gar~ rett Anderson, an Englishwoman of note as a suffragette, has been doing great things for the wounded. Early in the war she and the British Govâ€" ernment felt mutally shy of one anâ€" other, and her first hospital was opened under French authority. Her next hospital was _ at Wimereux, where she was among her own peoâ€" ple, and where the rations (most inâ€" contestable of all evidence of recogâ€" nition) supplied to her patients were <til"e official rations of the British solâ€" ier. The mutual shyness having been dispelled, the War Office asked Miss Garrett Anderson to return home and make a hospital in London.

It is interesting to kn« that the crown donned by the monarch of Austria, which was made originally for Stephen of Hungary, some eight centuries ago, has been stolen, lost and pawned. On one occasion it was pilfered by a queen, who fled across the frozen Danube with it, and there, being in need of ready cash, she pawned it for 2,800 ducats. When it was finally traced and recovered it was placed in a fortress in Hungary and guarded night and day. At the time of the revolution it was buried in a forest to prevent it being annexed by the Austrians, and it reâ€" mained under the soil for nearly a hundred years. There were some very severe storms at Cracow, the Austrian fortress, which was formerly (1320â€"1609) the capital of Poland, some time before the war. Terriffic gales uprooted several trees, one of which was an oncient elm.
