Something new in the way of "tea and things" was discovered Ihe other day at a Scotch tearoom in Toronto, where scones and genu- ine Edinburgh shortbred were be- ing served. There were oat cakes, too, and veil. "The soone I lade into the tea instead of the ! usual slice of lemon. Quer, but good. Orange marmalade is used in the same way; BO is preserved ginger and brandied fruit. The latter must be chopped into quite small pieces if the fruit is whole.

It looks like pie crust, but is not so rich and is sweeter. I out the dough with a knife into tri- angles, because I think it rises bet- ter than when it is shaped with a cutter. In the large pastry shop in Edinburgh they roll the dough much thinner and cut into small, round shapes? They are called there "petticoat tails." You see, when Mary Stuart came back from France she brought a number of the French people with her and they called these little cakes "pe- tits gateaux." The Scotch people thought they said "petticoat tails,'' and so they have been known ever since. Another variety of shortbread is the Pitcaithly Bannock. I suppose the lady of Pitcaithly Castle, in Perth, originated them, as all the great ladies in early times made their own cakes. This is simply the shortbread with nuts and any other good thing you may happen to have on hand stirred through it. To make the ordinary shortbread take seven ounces of Hour, one ounce of rice flour, five ounces of butter, and two ounces of castor sugar. Work all of this together with the hands until it is soft and the butter ia well workrd in. Make it into a round cake about one-half inch thick ; pinch the edges together and prick it all over with a fork. This keeps it from rising. Put it on a greased paper on a flat tin and bake in a slow oven until it is a pale brown. One hour or more is Dot too long to bake. In addition to these two cakes the Scotch use gingerbread for their tea, but instead of being in high squares at we make it, it is in small individual shapes like a muffin, and much easier to handle, as the whole surface is firm. Oatmeal when baked to a crisp gives the taste of nuts to a cake, and these oat cakes are a delicious bit, and yet not too rich. An old j (Ireland) tri-weeldy.

Canadians visiting London re- cently have been more than usu- ally interested in the debates in the House of Commons. They find many differences in comparing the Mother of Parliaments with the House of Ottawa ; differences which are more marked than, say, five years ago. An Ottawa man, who ha<s been a frequent visitor to the gallery during the Home Rule de- bate, remarked upon the great changes at Westminster. The long- winded speech has disappeared, mainly owing to the accelerated rate at which legislation is passed. ''It requires a great deal of men- tal agility to make speeches under the operation of the guillotine," he said.

The Canaauites and Perizzites are fre- quently associated with eachoUu.-r in the narratives of Genesis and Judges especially. From some of these narratives it would seem that the latter occupied a district about Bethel and Shechem particularly, but the probable derivation of the word from "perazi," meaning coun- try folk or peasantry, makes it seem probable that the name refers to the village population of Canaan, the tillers of the soil in general, rather than to any par- ticular tribe or race.

On all hands one hears- complaints that life in Paris (France.) is grow- ing daily dearer. Perhaps i* is not only that prices are going up, but that people are becoming more ex- travagant. For instance, the state has decided to abolish the half- penny cigar, b'ack and gnarled and strong, which the cabmen used to puff with obvious satisfa/otion to themselves, if not to their fare*. It ia true itha.t it is to replace it by a slimmer ajid sleeker cigar at the sajno price, and, no doubt, of the same quality of tobacco; but it is probable that the new hjvlfpenny cigar will prove, like its predeces- sor, a drug on the market, the fact being that no one smokes halfpenny cigars now. The cabby, aXter din- ner in hia Httle restaurant. cnJJs for a Havana, which may eot him anything from fivepence upwards. Yet not so majiy yca-rs ago lln-ro were only two or three places in Paris whare cig*rs costing more than fivepence e.aoh could be bought loose. Now there is not the small- est shop in the poorest. qua.rkr where the passerby cannot purchase an expensive Havana. It is a sign of tie time, and perhaps a rather ddsquietdng one.

SURVIVORS Of THE IITANIC CLAIMS AMOUNT IN THE AG- GREGATE TO sr,.ii(iii.W::i. Many Familiar Names are Missing From Hat of Heirs of the Titanio. Claims for more than $0,000,000 have been filed with Commissioner Gilehriat of Now York agaiuat the Oceanic Steam Navigation Com- pany, Limited, as a result of the lose of the Titanic. The chance of any substantial sums being recov- ered upon thean depends on the ap- plication of the Britiiwh or the Am- erican Admiralty law to the case. If the British law prevails $76 per grow ton will be recoverable for proportionate distribution, which will amount to about $2,000^000. . If the company succeeds in apply- | ing the American law of limitation | there will be but a little more than $97,000. The claims fall into three classes for deaths, for personal injuries i ajid for loss of property. The death j claims amount already to $4,739,- i 000, w.hile the claims for personal injury run up to about $55,000, and for loss to property to more than ; Si. 382, 423, almost all of which are biased on the destruction of person- i a] baggage. Not the least interesting part of the list of claims is the number of names which are missing from it. The heirs of John Jacob Astor, Mr. and Mrs. Lsddor Straus, Benjamin Guggenheim, Charles Melville Ha.ys. \V. T. Stead, and George D. Widener, have not made any claim on the steams-hip company for the loss either of their relatives or the property they happened to have with them. Harris Death Claim $1.000,000. The Largest claim is made by , Mrs. Henry B. Harris, widow <>f the theatrical man. She is seeking | $1,000,000 oompen&aiuon for the drowning of her hub;uid, $27,000 for the loss of her own personal property, and $4.025 for the loss of her hufibi&iid's baggage. The value she placw on her own belongings is caused by the number of jewels which she had with her. Among them was a string of pearls of the value of $10.000, aaid a diamond necklace worth $4,200. Then there \ was a diamond and onyx bar pin, I with five-carat atones in the centre, which cost $1.000, and a brao-'.. t w.bh circle* of diamonds, for which ' she asks $750. Her wardrobe was ! contained in five trunks, the <-<>n- l teiLta of which is va.!u<>d at $10,000. I Two other la-rge death claim* aro put in for Howard B. Case, man- i aging director of the Vacuum Oil ; j Company, by his widow, Mrs. Eliz- '< \ abeth C. Case, and for Jacques: | FutreJle by hi widow, Mrs. May j j Futrelle. Each of them ask $300,- 000. Claims for the low of th per- : sonal effects of Major Archibald Butt are put in by Lewis Ford Butt | of Augueta, Ga.. who values his se- j ven trunks art. $1,000. and Mrs. i Marian L.

Among his ef- fects, which he valued at $17.324, was a picture of < lariba-ldi. sinned, by him when he presented it to Mr. ' Portaluppi's grandfather. Tliie he I asksi $3.000 for, a.nd most of the r<-<*t of the property he lost was ma<l<> up of original des.iirns for monumont, tcinbs and mausoleums. William E.

She had tajcon a cabin from Cherbourg, and had fourteen trunks. The inventory of her gooda covers twelve typewritten pages, and among the items are a cnko of soap worth $1.76; a ring, with a Burma ruby ajid two dia- mond.H, $14,000; a pink diamond of 8 7-10 (.waits, worth SliO.OOO; a pen- dant, with a large diamond, worth $13,000. Then ahe had a Worth gown, for which slie n. -k $900 ; a box of Loco and pelts, $700 ; a white petticoat, $95, and eighty-four pairs of glovos and thirty-three paiirs of shoos. The Countess of Robhee had with ' her on the voyage property of the value of only 2,488, of which her jewels accounted for l,765, while her' maid, Ruberta Mw.tti, would be recompensed sufficiently for her wardrobe by the payment of $400. An u mutual claim is made by Mrs. Catharine Harbeck of Toledo, Ohio. Her husband was drowned, and, besides asking $25,000 'or hi* death, ahe claims 955.423.34 for hia belongings. For LoHt Titanio Cargo. Few claims are made on behalf of the cargo carried in the Titanio. Thus Popper, Gray & Co., of New York, ask $553.23 on account of a shipment of Roquefort cheese and the Kny-Scheerer Company of New York puts in a claim for $42 on ac- <-ount of a package of silkworm gut. Several in&u ranee concerns are trying to s?e/t recompense for their losses. Thua the Indemnity Mutual Marine Assurance Com- pany would like to collect $9,924, and the Merchants' Marine Insur- ance Company, which had issued Uwe-nty-BUC different shipments, ia asking for $182,000. One of die most unusual of the claims on ac- count of goods which were lost im contained in a letter from Mayer it Midler of Berlin to Commissioner Gilchrist, in which the claim ia made for 816.80 for certain books and 1 - periodicals which had been sen* in the mails carried by the Titanic, jt _ BETTER ROADS FOR ONTARIO. A Convention Will Meet in Toronto to idscii-- tin' flan. A great deal of interest i' being aroused throughout the Province in the probable outcome of the con- ference on Good Roads to be held in Toronto at the eiid of this month. The agitation for road improve- ment in Ontario and particularly for a connected system of inter- urban and market town highway! has been steadily growing until in conformity with this feeling the amii'Uiu-t'.'iii'ut lias now been mada that such a scheme of roadways will shortly be marked out and constructed, by the government. This announcement given a great deal of importance to the coming convention, for it ia expected that the lined of procedure discussed there will have no little bearing on the development of the provincial system of roadways which the next few years will see established. Not only will the proposal of a road system throughout the Prov- ince be discussed, but the officer* ft' "he Ontario Good Roads Associa- tion, under whose auspice* tile con- vention is being held, announce that speakers will bs present from the United Status and various Provinc- es in the Dominion who will tell of what is being done elsewhere. Premier Gouin of Quebec will be in Toronto for the occasion ; and Highway Commissioner Taylor from British Columbia, and from the United State* the Hon. L. 1). Page, Director of the U. 8. Depart meiit of Highways, and Col. Saw- yer, of the Massachusetts Highway Board. From the Ontario Govern- ment the Hon. Dr. Reaume, Min- ister of Public Works, will be pre- sent, and others who will give ad- dresses on the roadway problem are Sir Edmund Walker, President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and Mr. W. A. Mclx?an, Provincial Highway! Engineer. On ail sides there are indications that Ontario is on the verge of a new era of road construction. The people of the province have decided to build roads, and it will be one of the big problems of the coming con vention to voice the feeling of t-hn people as to how the work should be carried out. Counties, townships, cities, towns and villages will all be rf-pres-cntpd The problem of bringing producer and consumer together is of equal interest to all. With broad, nn-at, vegetables and dairy pivduce d>-;ir er by far in Can.uhan cities than in the most expensive parts of such old o uutry cities as Londun. tne question presents itself s to what makes the difference, and the logi- cal answer 13 die iibsi-noe of good roads. So, too, the mlir.-ation ol the younger generation from the farms prompts the question as to what is wrong there, and again the answer is the absence of god roads, which would irKr.-ase the social, educational and other urban advantages v. ithin the reach of those living in the country. A\ hat the coming convention, whose sessions will last during February 20, 27 and 23, can do to help solve those problems remains to bo seen, but it is certain that with the large representation assur*- cd and the many leaders who will deal with the questions brought up tho conference will be a memorable one.
