When ready to serve place in each tumbler two table- spoons syrup, two tablespoons each crushed ice and whipped cream. and fill up the glass with milk and water, two parts milk‘ to one of water and stir well.

E‘ Y Hm++++++++++++++++j It is not necessary to cook fruit as much as may seem to think;never boil voilently, but heat gradually to boiling point and cook until tender, turning over carefuly rather than stirring as this rule applies to fruits in general. I will not give any specified length of time as some kinds need only a few minutes, while the firmer fruits, such as apples and’ pears, require a much longer time.

A minor died at the headwaters of the Steward River in the Yukon Territory. On a piece of birch bark he wrote his last testament, be- queathing his valuable claim on the river to his nieces. A companion who was with him in his last moments said, “We had no paper, and so the man wrote his will on a piece of bark, and a friend and l sigmd as witnesses." Another way practised in the same climate, when ice was not to be had, was to turn large, shallow tin pans bot- tom up on table in a hall and on these set the platters and other dishes. plao ing screen covers over. or when all cook- ing heat had left the material, a light tarlalan cover answered.

It is well to keep ber- ries in like manner. never in the cellar, for they spoil quickly there. Shallow pans. either of plain tin or enameled, may be inverted along a shelf before a north window of a pantry, which should be left open, and screened, always making sure that the pans pro- ject a trifle over the edge of the shelf, that the air can strike the under as well as upper surface of the metal. The tem- perature of plates and contents will be found a number of degrees lower than if standing on the shelf direct. Of course certain foods will dry rapidly in this way. - “Well,” he said, “you see I was right.

Just before they left he came ’to my room. One or two young gentlemen who had heard that there was a ghost came dur- ing the fishing season last year. “I never have any luck,” one of them said to me. “I shall never see the ghost." The families who rent the house have oftened questioned me about the tall old gentleman whom they sometimes meet in the passage, and I always say that it is a friend of the old master‘s, who felt his death very deeply, and likes to come back. A little later I went back. and found his spirit had disappeared. but I could not forget the sadness of the look he cast at me as I ran away. The next morning I determined to be brave. and went in.

He left in his will directions that his old house should be let every season to tourists, and the yearly income devoted to the local cottage hospital. The morning after my master‘s funeral I went into his private sitting- room to pull up the blinds, when I found him sitting in his accustomed chair, reading his paper. as I had found him every day for over forty years. For one moment I forgot, and said “Gdod-morning, sir”; then I ran in ter- ror from the room, but not before he turned a look of surprise and sorrow on me.

In 1758 the Highlanders were sent to America to take part in the French Indian war. The Black Watch were present in full force at the battle of Ticonderoga, which lasted from July 5th to 8th. Through the jealousy and stupidity of the English commander the Highlanders were sent into the woods to fight the Indians, instead of being kept in the open, where they could have met them with cold steel. As a result, during those three days one half of the regiment was slaughtered. The re- mains of LordHowe, who was killed at this time, were found in the village of Ticonderoga, and identified about On May 9th, 1745, the Black Watch took a leading part at the battle of Fontenoy, where they were commanded by Sir Robert Munro of Fowlis, whose singularr tactics commanded the respect of Marshall Saxe, the French com- mander. Colonel Sir Robert Munro, who stood six feet six in his stocking soles, was a giant soldier. While the battle was in progress he left his horse and went into the midst of his men to give personal direction to the fighting. The tactics used on this occasion were those of Sythian warriors in the days of Alexander the Great. The Highland- ers would [all on the ground, then fly at their enemies like a cyclone. All through the battle Sir Robert kept call- ing to his men, TWELVE HUNDRED STRONG. As soon as George II. heard of their valor and the work they had done in stamping out disorder in the Highlands. he invited them to London, where he could see'them for himself. After they had given several exhibitions of agility and prowess the King fell in love with them, and then had them organized into a regular Brilish regiment of the line.

In 1740 three more companies were added, making them THE 42ND HIGHLANDERS ayonets Since the Union of Scotland and Eng- land in 1707 the Highlanders had little or no love for the house of Hanover, nor the doings of the British Govern- ment at home or abroad. George II. and his advisers were in a dilemma. The one man in Scotland who knew the situation thoroughly at this time was President Forbes of Culloden. When his advice was sought he recommended that a constabulary or national guard be organized for the protection of lite and property in the Highlands. When this was submitted to the leading clans- men they approved of it. Although the exact date is unknown. somewhere in the year 1729-30. three companies of citizenâ€"soldiers were organized at Inver- ness and called the “Black Watch" on account of their dark-colored clothing. to keep the peace of the Highlands. The first company was formed by Colonel Fraser of Lovat, the second by Colonel Grant of Strathspey, and the third by George Munro, the laird of Ross, but the real organizer was his brother, Colonel Sir Robert Munro of Fowlis, a. soldier of great experience, who had seen ser- vice under Marlborough on the Conti< nent. it SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAMOUS BLACK “'ATCII. [lave Brought Honor to the Army in Over a Hundred Bloody Battles. No Scottish historian, in describing the splendid achievements won for the British Empire in almost every part of the world. can well afford to leave out of consideration the heroism and conâ€" spicuous bravery of the 42nd Royal Highlanders, writes the Rev. John J. Munro. Although the early history of the Black Watch is somewhat fragmen- tary and chaotic, it is very clear that it came into being through the timely sug- gestion of‘Duncan Forbes of Cullnden. After the defeat of the young Preten- der of the Stuart dynasty in 1715-6, the Scottish Highlanders were in a state of unrest and sullen rebellion. Armed mobs marched from mountain to glen in search of plunder. and for a time sheep and cattlestealing became a pro- fitable industry among‘the Highland- ers. To use a Yankee phrase, Christian ethics did not “cut much ice" with the clans in those days. Rob Roy's doc- ethics did not “cut much ice" with the clans in those days. Rob Roy's doc- trine seemed to have a peculiar fasci‘ nation for themâ€"“He who hath the power let him keep who can." In the northern faslnesses of Inverness-shire every man seemed to be lped alive.

An American once advertised that he was able to inform anyone how they could get rich, providing they sent '25 cents. His adviCe was very simple and direct: “Work very hard and don't spend a cent." Twice in my life I have gone out of my way to get friends out of very ser- ious trouble. and in both cases they have not only repaid me with the basest ingratitude, but have done all in their power to inflict upon me the greatest amount of injury. I feel sure that ii a man was under sentence of death, and I should succeed in saving him from the gallows, he would never be satisfied until he had murdered me. I asked a very wealthy man on one occasion how he had succeeded in ac- cumulating such a vast sum of money. He said, “It has been the rule of my life to rub up against men that have money; some of it sticks to me. I avoid men that have no money." Another golden rule in business is never to lend money wthout good se~ curity. It is a very curious fact that people who would be ashamed to cheat their grocer or their butcher, never think of repaying borrowed money. There is an old saying about a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush; in money matters, however. “a dollar in the pocket is worth a hundred in the bush." . It is a very good rule in business to have nothing to do with one‘s relations. Of course, there might be exceptions to this rule as to all others; however, I have never found an exception. Then, again, if friends or acquaintances are in trouble, it is a very risky business to get them out of it. When James G.

I have been brought into contact with two different, kinds of men. One class has exploited my inventions, and I am glad to say that collectively they have made a. great deal of money; the other class has attempted to exploit me, and have not done quite so well. of Hi over they in ev monu Ticon Sir Hiram Sum IT Kg PURE! )f the wt wh SLl 1th Africa 31' a hundr y brought GOLDEN RULES FOR Sl'CCF 1111' CEYLON GREEN TEA Free from dust, dirt and all foreign substances. ghlund Lead Packets only A BRETON WEDDING . 11 1t ent This is the paramount feature of wi [11 ndrcd bloody ght glory to part of the L which \2a to their n lorrible mould be Quite ‘ my profe old on u ' earning much ( lI tribute soldiers Maxim Gives Some Good Advice. m tings.
