Marshmallow fudge is a new invention in homemade sweets that commends .l- self not only by reason of its novelty. but also because it is not too rich a compound for the average mortal to eat a lot of. Cut a dozen or so marshmal- lows into small pieces. scatter them thickly over well-buttered plates. then pour over them all the regulation fudge mixture. Let this stand half a day be- fore being disturbed. At. this time of year it is not always possible to furnish the table with fresh lettuce. Often the question of price comes in also. lettuce being very dear at times. There are dozens of good salads winch are comparatively inexpensive. owl which contain all the good qualities of the costliest. One of these is made of tests and Bermuda onions. Three good filed beets should be boiled until ten- der. Plunge them into cold water. rub cf the skins. and cut them into .lullonne slices. Slice two medium sized. or one large Bermuda onlon into the thinnest of slices. sprinkle with salt. and pour ever a little tarragon vinegar. Letthem stand in the refrigerator for an hour rr +++++++++ more. Drain them and mix the beets Ond onions together in a salad bowl. Serve with a French dressing. and wrinkle paprika liberally over the top. The salad is the prettier for being serv- ed on lettuce leaves. but this is not recessary to make it extremely pala- table. Bermuda onion and watercress make I goon combination either in a salad or a sandwich. The addition of a little horse radish gives an extra flavor to the combination. When the onion figures in a sandwich. scrape or mince it. In the salad slices are better. Grape fruit salad is one of the most delicious in the catalogue. and it is not necessarily an extravagant salad. The fruit can be purchased in the large markets. or on downtown fruit stands at astonishingly low prices. Cut the fruit in slices. and with a sharp pointed knife cut close to the mebrane in each section. and take out the pulp in plump pieces. One fruit of medium size will make enough salad for two persons. Make a French dressing. substituting lemon juice for vinegar. and paprikafor epper. Or make a delicate mayonnaise essing. which is perhaps more suit- able for the fruit. Pour the dressing over the fruit and mix very carefully with a silver fork. Serve on lettuce leaves which have been dressed with a Pariah dressing. A very little lettuce w 0.

If this action be- comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT’S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it: passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly diâ€" - gested before it enters the stomach; a double advanâ€" tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos- sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just: that. A change for the better takes place even be- fore you expect it. \Ve “inland you I sample free.

A correspondent asks a question on this subject, and we have no doubt there are numerous painters‘ manuals. or Looks of instruction. in existence. but many of these are not very reliable. We give the following table of compound colors. showing the simple colors which produce them. which may be of some service to our inquirer. Buffflwmte. yellow ochre and red. Chestuntâ€"Red. black and yellow. Chocolateâ€"Raw umber. red and black. Claretâ€"Red. umber and black. Copperâ€"White. vermillion. blue and yellow. Drabâ€"White. yellow ochre. red and black. Fawnâ€"White. yellow and red. Fleshâ€"White. yellow ochre and ver- milinn. Freestoneâ€"Red. black. yellow core and white. French Greyâ€"While, Prussian blue and lake. Greyâ€"White lead and black. Goldâ€"White. stone ochre and red. Green Bronzeâ€"Chrome green. black and yellow. Green Peaâ€"White and chrome green. Lemonâ€"White and light yellow. Limestoneâ€"White. yellow ocre. black and red. Olive~Yellow. blue. black and white. Orangeâ€"Yellow and red. Peachâ€"~White and vermillion. Pearlâ€"White. black and blue. Pinkâ€"White. vermilion and lake. Purpleâ€"Violet. with more red and white. Roseâ€"White and madder lake. Sandstoneâ€"White. yellow ochre. black and red. Snuffâ€"Yellow and vandyke brown. Violetâ€"Red. blue and white. in the above table the first named col- or is always the principal ingredient. and the others follow in the order of their importance. Thus in mixing a limestone tint. white is the principal in- gredient. and the red the color of which the least is needed. The exact proper. tions of each must be determined by ex. periment. with a smaller quantity. It is best to have the principal ingredient thick. and add to it the other paints thinner. \VASTEFUL WAY OF SAVNG. Do not try to save money by: Doing without your luncheon. even if only for once. This will injure your health. Sewing in the twilight. Artificml Wearing thin clothing. Flannel is Using cheap soaps. It will cost you something in cold creams and suffering to remedy the harm it does. Going about in thin shoes. Leather is cheaper than quinine and porous plas- ters. also than a case of pneumonia. Trying to do the work of the uphol- :sterer and the carpet layers. You may never feel like doing any work again. Overworking. Nobody will thank you. You will be so cross that the very peo- ple for whom you are saving will hate y0u. and your husband will wish he had married a spendthrift. HOUSEHOLD TlME-SAVERS. Take time to teach toddling Johnnie to put away his druru. for it will save much picking up of ties. etc.. later. Take time to require tiny Marie to help mamma, for in after years it will be time gained. Take time to hang the pot out of the way on its acct‘etomed nail. for thereby will a probable smutting be avoided. Take time to have the stove at a con- venient height. for you might have a walk instead of nursing your back. Take time to study the effect of fried pork upon the digestion. for you may have to miss the concert because of your husband’s ailments. Take time to preserve your good looks. for the time that would otherwise be lost in worrying will be diminished by half. Take time to read the latest book. for frown of thoughtfulness that you must assume to deceive your visitor will require as much time to be eradicated. Take plenty time to dress. for the chilling sensation that your placket is open might cause you to overlook speak- ing to your sister-in-law. and the time lost in conciliating her will be much. _____+_.

We ran successwely out of jam. corn. vege- tables. coffee. sugar. and. what. was more Strions. our ammunition began to fail. and we were reduced to two carlridgus a day. It was not yet hot enough .to make “blitong.” a dried meat. which keeps good for an indefinite time. “Do you think you could steer a straight course through the bush?" the captain asked me one day. I said I thought so. The captain snorted a little contemp- tuously. “I want you to go there." he smd. pointing to a high range of kopjcs five miles away. “Plant a large flag on the top of the highest hill you can find. It‘ i-e to serve as the apex of the triangle we have been measuring. Start enry tomorrow and guide yourself by the sun. allowing for its ascent and do clination." I started at dawn. carrying an axe. and a large roll of calico for the flag. I reached the kopjes shortly before noon. and after climbing with difficulty the great boulders. saw a higher range it the back. On the top of this I planted the flag securely. and after resting a bit started on my return with a light heart. I had been walking for about three hours when my first doubts assailed me. It was growing dusk. The kopjes stood behind me. rows on rows. all alike. There was no landmark to guide me. I was lost. I wandered about for more than two hours. The sun went down and the moon came out. To be lost in the bush is a serious matter. Suddenly. in the stillness of the night. I heard a beauti- fu1 sound. like a high note drawn by a master on some old violin. It might have been a mile away. and it rose and fell plaintiver on the breeze. It was a lion. lifting up his voice by a pool. l proceeded in the opposite direction. Luckily it was the right one. and after a few miles l came upon traces of our last night's camp. I followed our wag- on trail. and just as the sun rose came upon the party. The captain met me with the informa- tion that the ammunition was gone. Later one of us discovered a cartridge in the bottom of the cart. and brought down a duck. That night we had dinner for the last time in six days. After- ward we were reduced to half a pound of flour a day. which we mixed in a gruel and boiled. On the fourth day all our supplies were gone. The last two days are hard- I}! a. memory to me. I remember trudg- ing beside the cart. hearing the crack- ing of the whip as the driver hurried the weary oxen Over the void.

A battle between a wasp and a cater- pillnr is no mean affair. according to a botanist. who watched an encounter. “Breathless with an excitement which will be understood by those who have tasted the joy of such a moment." he says. “i hung over the actors of the lit- tle drama. The ground was bare. we were close by. and could see every mo- : tion distinctly. "The wasp attacked at once. but was rudely repulsed. the caterpillar rolling and unrolling itself rapidly. and with the most violent contortions of the whole body. Again and again its adversary descended. but failed to gain a hold. The caterpillar in its struggles. flung itself here and there over the ground. and had there been any grass or other covering near by it might have reached a place of partial safety. But there was no shelter within reach. and at the fifth nt- taick the wasp succeeded in alighling ‘over it. near the anterior end. and in grasping its body firmly in her mandi- bles. Standing high on her long legs, and disregarding the continued Struggles of her victim. she lifted it from the ground. curved the end of her abdomen under its body. and darted hcr'sting between the third and fourth Segments. From this instant there was a camnlem cessation of movement on the part of the unfortunate caterpillar. l.inm and hclnless it could offer no further Oprm. sition to the will of its conoucror.
