T Woman's World By MAIR M. MORGAN *A Woman'* Place ft In th» Home.' =i/ LEMONS FOR SPRING Lemon.-: are ideul for toning up the system and fortunately they are plen- tiful and thoap at thia season of the year. Here are thr-^e interesting re- i-ipes: Lemon Meringue Put the prated rind and the strain- ed juice of 2 lemons into a sauce- pan with a de.ssertspoon of suiSar and'l pint water. Bring to the boil. Mix 5 tablespoonfuls cornstarch to a cream with cold milk and pour the boiling lemon water ou to it. Stir •well, put back into the saucepan and cook gently for 10 minutes. Leave to get a little cool, then stir in the beaten yolks of 2 eggs. Cook for a few minutes, then turn into a pie dish, previously rinsed out with cold water. Beat the whites of lue eggs to a stiff froth with 2 tablespoons sugar, add a few drops vanilla, heap the mix- ture on top of the pudding and bake in a slow oven till delicately brown. It can be eaten hot or cold. Lemon Castles Weigh 2 eggs and measure the same quantity of flour, butter and sugar. Put the butter into a basin and beat it with a wooden spoon until it is quite soft, add the sugar and beat until like whipped cream. Beat the eggs till frothy, then add them gradually to the butter, etc. Mix \!i teaspoon baking powder and the graced rind of a lemon with the flour and stir into the egg mixture. Add the strained juice of the lemon and 2 tablespoons milk and mix well. Butter some moulds or small cups and half flU with the mixture. Cover with greased paper and stand in a baking tin of water â€" do not let the water come more than half-way up â€" and steam for % of an hour. Turn out and pour round a jam Bauce. This mi.tture is also very good if put into a pie-dish and baked for '2 hour. Lemon Cream Wash 3 lemons, peel the rind as thinly as possible and put into a jug with G oz. sugar. Pour over % pint boiling water and leave to stand for an hour. Take out the peel and stir in 2 eggs, w^ell beaten, a bare Va oz. gelatine 1 previously dissolved iu 3 tablespoons hot water) and the strain- ed juice of the lemons. Stand the jug in a pun of boiling water and cook gently till the mixture thickens. Put luto a mouUl and turn out when set. USE RHUBARB FOR JAM AND CONSERVE Ecoiiumy is the watchword for most housewives these days and every trick which makes it possible to "put jam on bread and butter" is eagerly studied by alert home-makers. I'se rhubarb to increase the quan- tity of jams and conserves without im- paring the quality. Strange as it may seem, this common garden plant with its characteristic tartness has the pe- culiar property of increasing the bulk of jani.< and conserves made of delicf ously flavored fruits without material- ly clianging the flavor. Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam One pound rhubarb. 2 pounds straw- berries, 2 pounds granulated sugar. Wash and skin rhubarb. Wash and hull berries. Put rhubarb through the food chopper, catching the Juice that drips from the crank case. Combine rhul)arb. juice and sugar. Add berries and let stand until sugar is dissolved. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and to crush the fruit. Cook until a spoon- ful tried on a cold plate thickens like Jelly. Turn into sterilized jelly glasses and cover with paraffin. Strawberry and Rhubarb Conserve Two cups finely chopped rhubarb, 2 cup.x shredded pineapple, 4 cups hull- ed strawberries. 6 cups sugar. Vi cup blanched and shredded almonds. Cook pineapple in its own juice for ten minutes. Add strawberries cut In small pieces and prepared rhubarb. Bring to the boiling point and sift In sugar. Cook, stirring to prevent stick- ing, for about 10 minutes. Add nuts aud cook ten minutes longer. Turn into sterilized jelly glasses aud cover with parsftiii, Rhubarb Relish Two pounds rhubarb, i^ pound seeded and chopped raisins, '-.j pound stoned and chopped dates, 3 cups vine- gar, 2 lbs. light brown sugar, 1 table- spoon chili peppers, H3 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon ginger, '2 cup chop- ped English walnut meats. Combine raisins and dates and let stand in vinegar for one hour. Skin rhubarb and cut in half-inch pieces. Add to first mixture with all the re- maining ingredients except the nuts. Cook slowly, strring for two hours. Add nuts and cook ten minutes longer. Turn into sterilized Jelly glasses and cover, with paraflin. Give all jellies and jams two coats of paraffin â€" one as soon as the jelly stops steaming and the second one when the whole thing is cold. This makes a more positive seal. SALAD DAYS Seldom has such attention been paid by health experts to the wonderful food qualities of vegetables. No house- wife can gather together a sufficiently lage list of fresh salads. After all, changes of vegetables-go a long way towards making happy meals aii.l healthy eaters. Here are a few simni salads which will be appreciated: Cooked Vegetable Salad Cooked turnip, carrot, beetroot, po- tatoes, haricot beans, raw celery, cresses, tomatoes, hard-boiled egg. Cut ingredients into neat shapes and ar- range in layers in salad bowl. Decor- ate salad with chopped white and sieved yolk of egg. Russian Salad Cooked potatoes, carrot, turnip, beet- root, green peas (canned or fresh), to- matoes. Slice ingredients and arrange n groups in salad bowl. Add green peas. Potato Salad Cold potatoes, chopped onion, tea- spoonful chopped parsley. Cut pota- toes into cubes one iuch thick, add chopped onion and parsley and coat with dressing. Summer Salad ILiettuce. cresses, cucumber, beet- root, tomatoes, spring onions, radish- es. Line salad bowl with lettuce. Pre- pare all salad aud cut in sections. Ar- range in groups. A little grated car- rot on top is an improvement. Egg Salad Hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, watercress, spring onions. A few sardines, skin- ner and boned. Halve eggs and coat with dressing. Arrange salad greens round salad bowl, with sardii.es skin- ned and boned. Place eggs on top. Here is the recipe of a good Mayon- naise Saute to serve with the salads: 1 yolk of egg. 1 gill salad oil, i.i tea- spoonful mustord, 1 tablespoon cream, ^4 teaspoonful of caster sugar, 1 table- spoonful Tarragon vinegar, 1 table- spoonful vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix the dry ingredients and yolk of egg. Whisk in gradually the salad oil and vinegar. Add cream at the last â€" very gradually. Water Bottles Frequently hot-water bottles which are put away for the summer months are discovered, when they are taken out of store again, to 'be hard or to have perished. This is often due to the fact that they were not stored with sufficient care. Before rubber hot- water bottles are put away they should be treated with weak soda water. Fill the bottle with the solu- tion and shake it well. Then empty aud dip the whole bottle into the soda water. Finally dry it thoroughly be- fore wrapping and storing for the sum- mer. After this treatment the hot- water bottles may be left for tour months without fear of perishing or hardening. Laundry Hints To remove dressing from new white articles soak them overnight in a bath of cold water to which a handful of table salt has been added. Linen dries more ((uickly than cot- ton and should not be starched. Starched clothes damped with warm water may be ironed the same day. Water in which rice has been boiled makes an excellent starch for cottons, niusline, aud lace. .\ little borax added to the starch when mixing will prevent the iron from sticking. To lighten the task of ironing neat- ly fold the larger artii^les, tuch as sheet.i, towels and table cloths, and place them under the ironing cloth while ironing the smaller things. This is a gfeai help, and the larger articles will be just as smooth as if they had been ironed separately. Artiflcial silk, woollens, and flannels should not coma fn contact with ex- treme heat; use only tepid soapy water and a lukewarm iron. Hainwater is ideal for washing clothes, but if hard water has to be u.sed, a little borax will act as a softener. The clothes boiler must he thor- oughly clea.usf-d and dried before It is put away â€" try a little ammonia or lemon Juice to remove the suds from the top, rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly. Stains and Marmalade Water in which potatoes have been cooked is excellent for removing tea or coffee stains from linen. Quick boiling Is essential for suc- cessful marmalade or jam making. Never allow the fruit to simmer. Keep it on a quick boil all the time. This ensures a good set when the preserve is potted. Sunday School Lesson ^# • • • • • < Quaint Model By HELEN WILLIAMS.

Montreal to Celebrate 100th Birthday as City Monrtol. â€" The method of celebrat- ing .Montreal's 100th birthday as a city will be modest. On June 5. the date ou"*hich Montreal first started its career as a city in 1833, Mayor F. Rinfret, will unveil a modest brouze plaque at the city hall. A special meeting of the city council will be held to commemorate the event aud enter the proceedings into the minutes. A band concert will be given in the evening. The plaque w-ill coutain the names of Jacques Viger and Peter McGill. flrst mayors of the city, witu an ap- propriate motto. With a well-insulated tauk, 30 pounds of ice is generally allowed for each eight-gallon can of milk to be cooled. An uninsulated tank will re- quire approximately twice as much. <» If the prudence of reserve and de- corum dictates silence in some cir- cumstances, in others prudence of a higher order may justify us in speak- ing our thoughts. â€" Burke. LESSON IX.â€" MAY 28. JESUS AND HIS FRIENDS. â€" Mark 13: 1 â€" 14: 9. GOLDEN- TEXTâ€" Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. â€" John 15: 14. THE PLAN OF THE LESSON. SUBJECT: Being a Frend of Jesu*. I. Jesus Warns Ilia Friends, Mark 13: 1-37. H. Jesus Plotted Against, Mark 14: 1, !. III. Jesua Annoiuted by Mary, Mark 14: 3â€"9. I. Jesus Warns His Friends, Mark 13: 1â€"37. Driven from the temple by his foes, never to enter it again, our Lord devoted himself during these Last few days to his little band of loving friends. Our lesson shows him faithfully warning them of the trials that were to come upon them, solemnly pointing them to the end of all thiiigs, and gratefully receiving their tributes of aflfection. In the background we see the dark menace of his foes, plotting his death. The view of the future which Christ set before his disciples in those clos- ing hours with them dealt v.-ith their individual trials; they would be tempted by false teacherj ti stray from the true course; they would be brought to trial before harsh judges; they would have opportunity to tes- tify of him before the great of the world; they would be delivered up to death by those nearest and dearest to them; and if they endured faith- fully to the end they would receive th^ reward of eternal salvation. He set no date for all these events. He declared that no man knew their time, nor the angels, nor even him- self, but only his Father. Bi^t he solemnly asserted the truth of his prophecy. Heaven a.nd earth should pass away, but his word should not 1 ass away. "Watch and Pray." 33. A heedless lite cannot be a Christian life. The Christian is full of joy, but it is a sdemn joy; for he sees clearly the vast, eternal issues at stake in this life. He would as soon dance care- lessly on the brink of a precipice as go flauntingly .^.long the pathway of his earthly existence. Thoughtful- ness becomes a Christian, for he knows that his life here determines his life throughout the endless years. Watch and pray. We are not to in- termit either our watching or praying, but to keep them up, as Paul says, "in all perseverance'' (Eph. 6: 18). II. Jesus Plotted Against, Mark 14: 1. 2. We are at the close of Tuesday of Passion Week. The events of Wed- nesday are not recorded, the day be- ing probably spent by Christ in i-xi- tirement with his friends in Bethany. The passover was the greatest of al! the Jewish feasts, the one which com- memorated the escape of the Hebrew ration from Egypt when th' death angel passed over the houses of the Jews, protected by the blood of the slain lamb sprinkled on doorpost and lintel, and fell upon and killed all the fiistborn of the Egptians. The festival began at evening on the four- teenth day of the month Abib or Nisan, the first month of the Jewish year, corresponding to our March- .\pril. For they said. Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people. Jerusalem was crowdeil during the feast, and the crowd over- flowed into the surrounding country. Sometimes 256,000 lambs (Geikie were required for slaughter in the temple, one lamb for each household or family. The Romans took care that there should be an unusually heavy guard in Jerusalem during the feast, riots were so common among the excitable people, and an uprising against their conquerors being always to be feared. III. Jesus Annointed by Mary. Mark 14: 3â€"9. Simon's Feast. In order to reveal the motive which led Judas to betray Jesus to the Sanhedrin and i-elate the immediate occasion which spur- red the traitor to action, Mark goes back a few days ( as we learn from th<' other Crt>s|)els) to the Saturday evening of Pass; in Week, and tolls oi something that happened when our Lord and his di.-iciplcs were freshly come f roin Peraea.

This Troop was organized as the re- sult of the activities of a Lone Scout Patrol In that town, which owed its existence to the interest in Scouting of Patrol Leader John Young and Troop Leader Don. Sabiston. A feature of the gathering was the fact that every Scout and Cub present had brought at least one member of his famil.v, and in many cases both parents were present. During the evening the Troop Chap- lain was formally invested as a Scout and presented with a Scout pin. after which he dedicated the new Troop Flags. Assistant Provincial Commissiuner F. C. Irwin was the guest speaker, and he congratulated the Troup on their very fine api>earance and work, and complimented them on the splendid in- terest which their adult friends in Unlonville had taken in the organiza- tion. Lone Scout Commissiuner ioha-S^' minger was also present, and toltf'ttfe gathering that he was proud of the boys who had organized such a fine troop from a small handful of Lone Scouts. A Forestry Camp For some years past the Forestry Department of the Ontario Provincial Government has organized a camp for Boy Scouts over the weekend nearest to the 24ih of .May, at Angus, Ont., which is one of the centres of the De- partment's activities. This camp is held with the objective of interesting Scouts in reforestration work iu this province, and to encour- age them to be interested in trees aud to boost tree planting on waste ground. The boys help to plant a num- ber of trees, whilst at the camp, in what is known as the "Boy Scout For- est," which has now ma; y thousands of young trees growing sturdily, some of which are attaining appreciable size. The boys are shown the various pro- cesses of the work. 1.0m the collection of the seeds, through their infancy in the nurser.v, until they are planted out, or sent to all parts of the pro- vince to be planted by farmers or others who wish to use them. It is not generally known that own- ers of waste land may obtain a suppljr of these young trees free of charge, bf simply applying to the Forestry De- partment. Ths year the camp is to held frua Saturday, May 20th. to Wednesday,' May 24th. inclusive. Arrangementt were made at short notiire, so thertt was not time to inform the Lena Scouts prior to this dr'.e. In past years quite a number o^ Lonies have attended this camp, and if there are any who would like to at' tend thi.s year, they will be welcom* and should apply at once to Lon* Scout Headquarters, when iull partloul lars will be sent. | There is no charge in oonuectioa with this camp, and Scouts simpiy liave to provide their own iranaporia- lion to and from Angus. ' Commissiouer John Furmiuger wilt be at the camp and will be happy ta look after any Lonies who attend, but don't forget to let Headquarters kuo4 as soon as you can. if you intend to b« present. There will be some work t« do, but there will also ba la4^ at fuai as well. The camp will be in charg^ of Scouter .\rt Paddon.

This house was Christ's headquarters during Pass- over week, and "here he wa;j compar- atively safe from his enemies. In the house of Simon the leper. He had been a leper. It ih thought that Christ had healed him. Some think that he was Martha's husband, he- crt.r-' that serviceable woman is men- tioned (John 12: 2) as having charge of the househ.ild arrangements of the feast. Others think that he was Mary's husband. Some believe him to have been a brother of the two sisters and Lazarus. There came a wonmn. John tells i-s that it was Mary. We .nust remember that the active attempt of the Jewish rulers to compass the death of Jesus started with the raising of Lazarus (John 11 53). so that it would be dangerous f any of the Bethany family to be named in this connection, and John alone, writing after the fall of Jeru- si'lem and probably after the deaths of Lazarus and his sisters, could name them in his Gospel and give .111 account of the resurrection miracle.

"M:>ry was pur* chasing a joy for the lonely Jesua,' rnd an eternal satisfaction for h«r< .â- ?elf, that were worth all the spikej nard in Palestine." â€" Rev. Frederici Lynch, D.D. I For ye have the poor always with you. Some have understood this ta mean that poverty is a necessarT condition of some men, and that an* cxpec cation of the abolition of pov- ertv is foolish ; but such a heartiest interpretation of Christ's saying it itself foolish, as well as heartless. H« was simply stating a fact regarding Palestine â€" and al! lands at that time: they swarmed with wretches in tin most abject poverty, as Eastern land^ do today.
