HOUSEHOLP SELECTED RECIPES. Peas with Bacon. To a pint of Iresh peas add a quarter of a pound of bacon or ham cut in small piec- es, and a. little butter. Put a little pepper in the cooking water. Bo careful to take the jicas off the fire as soon as they are done, or they will turn yellow and harden. Fish Pudding (Danish receipt) Mix one pound of salt codfish, picked very fine and thoroughly cooked, with a third of A pint of well-cooked rice ; add one pint of tmlk. a heaping tablespoonful of butter, incited, and three well-beat- en cgfis. Bake in a quick oven un- til "set" and well-browned. To Prepare Currant Juice for the table Into a pint basin pour half a pint of currant juice and fill up with water. Add a generous half- pint <jf granulated sugar, htir to- gether, pour into an enameled (saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix two tablespoonfula <>f corn-flour or potato-flour with a little cold water, rtir into the boiling juice, and when it thickens turn into a sauce-boat or prnrv-turecn. and allow it to cool. Serve with pudding. For serving with plain boiled rice, a stick of cinnamon is added to the boiling juice and removed before aendiiiK it to the table. Plain boiled rice with currant juice is often cat- en as a dessert in Holland. < '.-iss< I Pudding. Take the weight, of two eggs in butter, in sugar and in flour, rub together the butter anl the sugar, and add to them the grated peel of half a lemon and the \olks of two eggs, beaten light. Stir in the flour and last of all the whipped whites of the eggs and a half teaspoonful vf baking powder. Grease small, deep patty pans and bake the pudding in these for about half an hour nnd turn out on a hot dish. Eat with hard sauce. A Yorkshire Tart. --Line the bot- tom of a deep baking dish with good pastry and spread on it a layer of preserved peaches or peach jam, mixed with a littlts.prese.rved gin- ger cut into small pieces. Weigh two eggs, take their weight in supar, in butter and in flour, cream the butter and sugar, add tn them the eggs, whipped light nnd then put in the flour mixed with a half t/easpoonful of linking powder. Pour this mixture over the pre- serves in the dish, and bake to a gorid brown. A few minutes before taking tho dish from the oven rub the Nip <jf the paste with butter r with raw <>gg. Haworth Tea Cakes. Rub a quarter <jf a pound f butter into a pound of flour, first sifting a lit.tle salt with the Hour. Dissolve half a yeast cake in a couple of tablespoon- fill s of warm water, put this with the llmr and pour in enough milk to make a dough as soft as can bo handlcdf. This must be rolled in to a thin sheet and cut into o:ikes about the si/e of a small saucer anil put in a warm place to rise. They should puff up to be about three times nt> thick ns they were in the lirht place. If they are in a warm place this will require about an hour. Hake quickly, .split and but- ter \\liilo hot and serve cut in quar- ters. Delicious with Devonshire cream or with jam or both. Fruit Soup (A Danish vegetarian n-eeipt). One cupful of pearl tapi- oca, one half pound of prune?, itoned, one-half pound of >>eedl- ss raisins, three largo apples, eiiop- ped, three slices of lemon, sugar, cinnamon and whole cloves to taste. Soak the tapioca until soft ; mix nl! the oilier ingredients with this and boil slowly in water enough to make, when cooked, the consistency of a thick soup. This will require the addition of water from time to time. When tho tapiocH is thor- oughly dissolved and the fruit is cooked, add the desired amount of sugar nnd a half pint of cider. The "soup" may be eaten hot or cold ; if the latter, whipped cream is an agreeable addition in respect both of flavor ami appearance. Koldolmar (Danish receipt). Take one pound of finely chopped lean beef, one-half pint of parboiled rice, one small onion, finely chop- ped, one egg, well-beaten; salt to taste .11 n niix thoroughly together. Be led medium-sized, perfect leaves from u head of cabbage, partly boiled (tho leaves should be sult'u i ently tender to roll pliably without breaking); into these so apportion the mixture ihat each leaf can be firmly rolled and securely doubled in at the ends. Wrap theso with thread to insure their remaining in Bhape, and place in a covered ves- sel over a slow fire in about half an inch of butter. Tho butter must be replenished and the rolls turned occasionally. They should wtew very slowly for about two hours. New Nut Bread for Sandwiches. Because of the difficulty of cutting it into thin slices, nut bread has little usedMor sandwiches, al- "h its flavor and richness r- nd it (or that purpose. A new kind, however, has all the ad- vantages and none of the disadvant- ages of the old. To make two isniall loaves, mix well a pint of cold water, three-quarters of a cupful of molasHes into which a heaping teaspoonful of soda has been beat- en, one and one-half cupfuls of white flour, three cupfuls of entire wheat-Hour, a tablespoonful of shortening lard, butter, or one of tho proprietary kinds one cupful of broken English walnut meats and a teaspoonful of salt. Bake three- quarters of an hour in a moderately hot oven. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Use velveteen for brushing silk. Medicine stains will greatly yield to alcohol. Borax water will restore the gloss to sateen in washing. To remove iodine stains apply am- monia or ether to the spot. Salt fish arc quickest and !jost freshened by soaking in sour milk. ! A painter's brush may be used to dislodge dust from cracks and cre- vices about the house. The most stubborn grease spots on the stove may be removed by rubbing with coarse salt. Fresh moat beginning to sour, will sweeten* if placed out of doors in the cool air over night. A littlo mushroom catsup added to a white sauce, to be used with fish, gives a piquancy of flavor. Boiling starch is much improved j by the addition of sperm or salt, or j both, or a little gum arabic dissolv- ed. To remove coffee stains first put into lukewarm water and soak about 15 minutes. Thou wash in warm suds. Try a little lemon and salt mixed the next time a price mark sticks to the bottom of china dishes or bric-a-bra*. NKWSIMI'ERS IN THE MAKING The Vuluc of the Spruce Tree in a Newspaper Oillcc. (Editor's Note : Being the first of some- special articles on News- papers. Tho second will appear at an early date.) One of the wonderful operations in the world of mechanical endea- vor is the making of paper. That a rough, uncouth log of spruce can be put in at one end of a factory and emerge at the other a beautiful, clean, white roll of paper, is a tri- umph of modern inventive genius. A few days ago a party of inves- tors, financial and newspaper men, including a representative of this paper, visited the plant of the Span- h River Pulp & Paper Company at Espanola, Ontario. Many of our readers will, no doubt, be interest- ed in a short account of this im- portant anc rapidly growing Cana- dian industry. Espanola is about 300 miles from Toronto on the Sudbury-Soo branch of the C. P. R., at a point where nature collected the material for an ideal manufacturing site. For some distance east of the plant the river broadens to almost lake-like dimensions, but converg- es sharply at a w.-.ter-fall that di- vides the upper stream from the lower a drop of some 75 feet. At the brink of the falls an arch- shaped cement dam, capable of withstanding the greatcst_j)robable pressure from the river, has been constructed. South of the dam a mill-race was blasted through solid rock and from this six large flumes turn the water into 15,000 electrical horsepower. More power can be developed with slight additional expenditure. Tho Company's timber concession tho beater room, where sulphate, china clay, alum and coloring mat- ter arc added. This mixture, which is of the color and consistency of milk, is thoroughly beaten up and passed through refining engines and then run through screens on to the paper machines. The stock flows on to a sheet erf wire cloth, called the Fourdrinier wire, which collects the fibres and allows tho water to escape. The frame carry- ing the wire vibrates so that the fibres are thoroughly interlaced and fabric formed. The wire carries this wet paper along to press* rolls and it is carried on felts to more rolls, from which it passes over forty cylindrical dryers. By the time the paper reaches the last dryers it is thoroughly dry, and it is then run through heavy calen- dars to give it a finish, after which it runs on to a winder. The larje roll is 154 inches wide, and this is cut by small circular knives into smaller rolls of whatever sizes are required. These rolls are lifted from the machine and carried to the finishing room by a small trav- elling crane and are then securely wrapped and labelled, ready for shipment. The paper machines will produce 110 tons of paper per day. What specially impressed many of the visitors was the almost total elimination of waste. Everything is used. Even the huge furnaces of the heating plant are operated by underfeed mechanical stokers, which makes possible the consumption of nearly all the smoke. The fuel used is a mixture of coal screenings with bark from the barking machines. All spoiled and torn paper is run back through the beaters and remade into perfect product. Most of the machines are run by individual di- rect-connected electric motors, run from the power-house below the falls. This saves the cost of main- CARRY A MILLION IN BILLS? If in Dollar Bills it Would Weigh Ton and a Half. The weight of money is very de- ceptive. How many $1 bills would it take to weigh as much as a $5 gold piece? Guesses on that are , anywhere from 25 to 500. The fact is that with a $5 gold piece in one scale you would have to put six and one-half bills in the other to make it balance. In gold coin 200 pounds would be ! worth $54,050. All gold coins are ! supposed to be standard weight, so i the denomination would make no !d'fff>re"ee in the weight of new and old coins. Two hundred pounds in bank notes would make a large bundle, but such a bundle would be worth carrying off. The value of two hun- dred pounds in paper money would be: One-dollar bills 62,000 Two-dollar bills 124,000 Five-dollar bills 310,000 Ten-dollar bills 620,000 Twenty-dollar bills 1,240,000 | Hundred-dollar bills . 6,200,000 Five-hundred-dollar bills, *3KOOO,000 One-thousand-dollar bills, 62,000,000 In bank robberies where large sums of money have been taken the thieves have usually taken the bills because they were easy to carry away. 4, . AT BORNEO WEDDINGS. In Borneo the bride and bride- groom sit on metal logs before the priest, who gives them cigars and betel while he blesses them. He waves above them two fowls bound together. The bridegroom then places the betel in his bride's mouth and a cigar between her lips. They are now married. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. GENERAL VIEW THE FIRE-SWEPT CITY OF CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY Over two thousand houses have been destroyed in Stamboul by a fire that raged for over twenty-four hours. Stamboul is the Mohammedan section of the Turkish capital. The flames swept down to the Marmora shore and extended for three-quarters of a mile. All articles stained with cocoa should be put into cold water, rub- bed thoroughly and then washed in warm suds. One teaipoonfnl of ammonia to a teacup of water applied with a rag will clean silver or gold jewellery perfectly. When sewing machine needles be- come blunted rub them across a whetstone which repoints as good as new. In mashing potatoes it pays to heat the milk, adding the butter to the milk before turning into the mashed jMjtatocs. In keeping vegetables do not keep different kinds in the same, pasket. If you do there is a danger of de- terioration in flavor. Do not salt oysters when cook- ing; wait until just before they conic from the stove ; otherwise they will shivel and become tough. Lemon peel and orange peel, dried, make a good substitute for kindling. A handful thrown into a dying fire will revive it at once. A housekeeper says that adding a handful of hay to the. water in which a ham is boiled, improves tho flavor of the meat. When powdered sugar gets hard, run it through the food chopper. This is an easier way of breaking up the lumps than using a rolling pin. SOME ARE INDEED. "He believes thoroughly in him- self," said an admiring friend. "Yes." answered Miss Cayenne, "but some people are so credu- lous." PROSPERITY. "What's your idea of prosper- ity t" "Always a little more than I have." extends over 0,000 square miles, laced and interlaced with streams tributary to the Spanish River, and affording facilities for transporting logs to tho plant at the lowest cost. Trees arc felled, cut into 16-foot lengths, rolled into tho neighboring streams, and floated down to the mill. Enough pulp wood is on the concession to last the mill 200 years without reforesting on a ground wood production of 150 tons daily. The outstanding feature of tho whole organization is "F.fficioncy." Nothing a machine can do is done by hand. The logs are conveyed from the river on an inclined log haul to the saw-table, where they are cut into two-foot lengths. They then drop to a conveyor which runs over a trestle 600 feet long and 00 feet high, under which the winter's cut is stored. From there a cross conveyor takes them as required to the barker room, where the bark and rough knots are removed by machinery. They are then dropped through a chute to the grinders. These machines grind the wood to a pulp, which is reduced in consist- ency by the admittance of water, and then pumped into revolving screens, which retain all splinters and coarse matter. The pulp required for the paper mill is then pumped up to the mill in a liquid state, and the balance is run over "wet machines," which collect all the fibres and press them into sheets. The sheets or laps are piled on trucks with a wire mat be- tween each lap, and the trucks are then placed in hydraulic presses, which squeeze out of tho pulp as much water as possible, and leave it approximately 58 per cent. dry. This pulp is then tested and truck- ed to the loading sheds ready for shipment. The. liquid pulp which is supplied to the paper mill is pumped into tenance of shafting and belting, and minimizes the danger that invari- ably accompanies such equipment. The same care is apparent in the model town, owned and con- trolled by the company. Electric light, modern bath-rooms, and sew- age connections are in every house. Plans are being prepared for church and school buildings, and also a large general assembly hall. A gymnasium will also form part of the equipment of this building. Everything is planned on the most modern lines with the object of at- tracting only the best class of work- men. Married men with f.-imilies are preferred, and everything to make life interesting for them has the support of the management. The business is being planned, not for the present, but with the expec- tation that it will go on down through the years, and will oventu- ally be looked upon as one of tho institutions of the land. The foun- dations have been laid both broad and deep to conserve not only the mechanical excellence of the pro- duct, but the* character a'ul happi- ness of the operatives. It is a great and growing industry. HABIT OF UNHAPPINES8. Most unhappy people have be- come so by gradually forming a. ha- bit of unhappiness, complaining about the weather, finding fault with their food, with crowded trains, and with disagreeable com- panions or work. A habit of com- plaining, criticising, of fault-find*- iug, or grumbling over trifles, a habit of looking for shadows, is a most unfortunate habit to contract, especially in early life, for, after a while, the victim becomes a slave. All of the impulses become pervert- ed, until a tendency to pessimism, or to cynicism, is chronic. RARE INDIAN BEASTS. Gifts from the Maharajah of Nepal to King George. The Maharajah of Nepal recently presented a great collection of ani- nials to King George. They arrived in London recently on the British India liner Afghanistan and were promptly turned over to the London zoo. Some specimens, as for instance the Wallick's stag, which has never' previously been exported to Europe j alive, and others which inhabit the I higher and culder regions of Ne- pal and are consequently intolerant! of the heat of Calcutta and of tho ! Indian Ocean, were sent to England earlier in the vear. But the ship- | ment of the bulk of the collection, containing animals which live in the j swamps and jungles at lower levels, was timed so that it mi.e;ht reach England with the summer. The. pick of the bunch is a young rhinoceros, perhaps about 4 years old, whose value if ho lives to grow up will run into four figures.. In addition to this there are spotted doer, bark- ing deer, swamp deer, four horned ant-elopes, the nilghau, or "blue bull.'' leopards, wolves, bears, sa- cred sheep, mongooses, chakur partridge, eagles, coral bcakei! pig- cons and other rare birds.

Lesson XII. Temperance lesson, Eph. 5. 11-21. Golden text, Prov. 20. 1. Verse 11. Our lesson contain^ parts of two passages in the <> fi- nected discourse of the apostle. Th first of these comprises verses 1-14, which deal with the larger theme of " the imitation of God in Christian conduct. The conduct of the Chris- tian is to be governed by the r e- vealod purpose of God and the ex- ample of Jesus Christ. This means that the life of the Christian is to be lived upon a high moral and ethical plane-, where gratitude to- ward God and love and charity to- ward men fill the whole life. Such a life must be separated from all forms of unrighteousness. Its no- bility and high purpose must be a constant reproof to the deeds of selfishness and of shame which characterize the life lived in the darkness of ignorance and ignoble motive. It is this necessity of sep- ' aration from evil that is ompha- . sized in the first verse of our les- son. Have no fellowship Association, knowledge of, close communion with. Unfruitful works of darkness An ' evil life is without profit as well as without light. , Reprove them The separation from evil shall not be carried to the extent of ignoring altogether the existence of evil. It is as much the duty of the Christian to oppose wrong as to do right. The word translated reproof may be render- ed also convict, or bring to light, the literal sense being that of -:x- posure by means of publicity. 12. By them Those who do evil. The antecedent of the pronoun is unexpressed. In secret Secrecy is the natural protection which wrongdoers seek. 13. All things . . . are made mani- fest by the light Exposure throws the light into dark places and re- veals what is there. Everything that is made mani- fest is light Some Greek scholars insist that the sentence may also be translated whatever makes manifest is light. This rendering, if permissible, would make the pas- sage clearer, since exposure to light does not actually change evil into good, but simply reveals its essential character. 14. Wherefore he saith Or, it , sailh, that is, it is said. It has been suggested that the quotation which follows may be taken from an early Christian hymn based on Isaiah CO. 1, "Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee." 15. With this verse we enter upon a new theme, which has been word- ed as "the art of thankfulness," and to which the remainder of our lesson passage is devoted. A scru- pulous carefulness in conduct marks an appreciation of the sacred op- portunities which life affords for spiritual development. 16. Rcdveining the time Taking advantage of every opportunity. The days are evil Fraught with temptation to disregard the seri- ous responsibilities of life. 17. Be ye not foolish Be not ye imprudent. 18. Be not drunken with wine For similar exhortations see Prov. 20. 1 ; 23. 30, 31 ; Luke 21. 34 ; Rom. 13. 13; 1 Cor. 5. 11; 6. 10; 1 Tim. 3. 2. Riot Disorder, confusion, and injury. With the Spirit Or, in spirit. The d-esircs and aspirations of the Christian are to be spiritual rather than carnal. Some of the fruits of such spiritual-mindedness are indi- cated in the next two verses. 21. Subjecting yourselves This phrase introduces a new thought which the. apostle amplifies in the remaining verses of the chapter. The attitude of th? Christian to- ward others should rx? that of mod- esty and an appreciation of their worth rather than of his own. SOME M \XIMS. Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half-shut afterwards. They that won't be counselled can't bo helped. Lose no time ; be a] ways employ- ed in something useful ; cut off aU unnecessary actions-. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a groat at lr.st. He who reforms himse/f 'ias done more toward reforming the public than a crowd of noisy, impotent patriots. Huy what thou hast no need of, nnd ere long thou shall sell thy pe- eessaries.
