Celery and Cheese au Gratinâ€"To two cups of cooked celery cut in small bits add two cups of white sauce, using part ci-lery water and part cream in making it. Put a layer of the celery and sauce in a buffered dish, and sprinkle with grilled or chopped rich cheese. Add another layer of the celery and more cheese, until the dish is nearly full. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top, add bits of butter and a little shaved cheese and brown nicely in a quick oven. Celery and Cheese Sticksâ€"tint crisp white celery into uniform finger lengths, and with a small pointed knife fill the. hollow side or groove with pol-ted or rich soft cream cheese with a little mus- tard and paprika or Worcestershire sauce, and serve them as a relish or appetizer. Celery Sandwichâ€"T0 one-half cup of finely chopped white celery add the hard boiled yolk of an egg rubbed to a smooth paste, with a little vinegar, and mix with sufficient mayonnaise or made dresssing to moisten well, then spread between thin, lightly buttered slices cf brown bread. The white celery tops can be used to garnish the sandwiches. Celery Saladâ€"Celery combines with so many other salad materials one may originate ad libitum to suit the ocea- sion and other dishes served. One point must be observed, whatever the com- bination, the celery must be fresh. and crisp, and utterly devoid of strings. Apple Dumplingsâ€"Sift a quart cf flour with a half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking-powder. Add two lablespoonfuls of butter, chop- ped into the prepared flour, and two cups of sweet milk. Put upon a flour- eJ pastry-board, and roll into a sheet a half an inch‘ thick. Cut this sheet in- to pieces about five or six inches square. In the centre of each of these squares place a peeled and cored apple filling the hollow centre of each apple with granulated sugar, then squeezing :m the sugar a few drops of lemon juice. Fold the four corners of the square over the apple, pinching them firme together on top. Set these dumplings in a butâ€" tered pan. having the joined corners underneathâ€"that is. turning the dump- lings upside down. Bake to a good brown in a steady, but not very hot, oven. When light brown, brush with the beaten white of an egg, then set back into the oven just long enough to glaze the dumplings well. Take from the oven, sift powdered sugar over thermand serve hot, with a hard sauce. THRIF’I‘Y HOUSEVVIVES. There are certain things a housewife does not do. She does not wait till the flour barrel or sugar pail are empty before order- ing a new supply. She does not take things as they come, but plans ahead and tries to have things come so as to cause the least work and confusion: She does not fear the whole house to pieces in one cleaning day, but does one thing at a time. She does not use six eggs for her cake, or two cups of but- tcr for her soda biscuit. when half or less of these materials would give much better results. She does not worry the life out of her husband, leasing for a new carpet, be- cause tier neighbor has just bought one, and she is afraid of being out- shone. She dces not rob her food sun ply or kitchen outfit that she and her daughter may wear fine clothing. She does not make a great display at her tea parties and keep the family on half rations for weeks thcmafler. She does not fret when the. head of the house unexpectedly brings in a guest for din- ner. for she always has a good stock in her larder, and knows how to pre- pare appetizing dishes at a few minutes‘ warning, besides what she thinks is good enough for a chance guest. She does not put off a disagreeable job till the last minute, but attacks it tooth and nail and has it off her mind. She does not wait till a rent in a gar- ment has been made ten times worse than at first. but practises the old adage, “a stitch in lime saves nine." She does not send for the doctor every time Freddie or Susie cut. their fingers, thrifty or sneez: tro loudly, but keeps a stock ‘ of simple remedies on hand that are more efficacious than much of the doc- tors' medicine. She iii'icsn’t lie in bed til: eight o'clock (.r lulcr in the morn- ing. and then wonder why she feels so mean, and can't get anything done, nei- ther does she read the latest novel till midnight, trusting for a chance the next day to make up for lost sloop. She does not belong to half a dozon woman's clubs and missions and let her own domestic. affairs run themselves. She dons not believe in the wife and mother bearing all the burden of house- hold duties. but each member is given a share of work. and held strictly co Countable therefor. She rarely needs to borrow anything. though she is over ready to lend. her own affairs to spend much time in discussing her neighbors. She does not allow the smallest item .of wuslegbul everything is utilized sonimvhere. In short. she is a woman of well~bal- anced mind, clear vision. good execu- tive ability. is frrii'e in resources. a mummy, if r. so kind and sympathetic. when any can may felicilatc himself upon possessing. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. (Tranbrrries will keen for months in a roller. with water over them. The She is too busy willi- water should be changed at least once a month. When the tops of fruit jars become stuck and are hard to take off, try dip- ping a cloth in very hot water and applying it to the place. so with a glass decanter or a sloppered bottle that has become stuck and refusts to come off in the usual way. A cloth wrung out of hot water and applied to the neck of the bottle or decanter ill cause the glass to expand very slightly, which makes it much easier to remove the tight stopper.

The daily turning over is not the only necessary attention for the proper treat- ment of a mattress. This operation it- self liable to strain the licking. and pull the stufiing out of shape. in course of time. To avoid this handles may l.c sewn to the sides, so that the unyielding surface of the mattress itself need not be grasped. These can be made from webbing or a cri ss piece of licking and sewn as firmly as possible to the sides. \\'ben washing fine china dishes do not place them one upon another after wip- ing them. Piling plates and saucers to- gether while they are warm is apt to crack the glaze. Therefore. spread them out to cool off before putting them in the closet. It requires some care to wash cut glass thoroughly. Apply the water with a soft brush and wipe. the glass with a fine towel. Particular house- wives use sawdust from a non-resinous wood, such as box or bass wood. in the drying process. It cleans out. all the corners and crevices that cannot be reached with a towel. After wiping it. plow the glass in a bed of the sawdust and allow it to remain about half an hour. Spread the sawdust out to dry after using it. If this is done it can be used any number of times. After taking the glassware from the sawdust, whisk it off with a soft brush and polish with a cloth. W A CRIPPLE CURED. Helpless and Bent with Rheumatismâ€"â€" Cured by Dr. “'illiams‘ I’ink Pills. “I was a helpless cripple. l was bent in form and could not straighten up. Crutches were my only means of mov-- ing- about. I tried many medicines, but they all failed until I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsâ€"they cured me." George Schaw, of Short Beach, N. 8., made the above almost startling statement to a reporter a few days ago. Mr. Schaw is now a well built iiizin. strong and broad shouldered. Like thousands of other Nova Scotians. he is a fisherman, and is consequently exâ€" posed to all kinds of weather, just the conditions to set the rheumatism poison in the blood at work. Mr. Schaw adds: "It is impossible to overrate the sever- ity of the attack. The trouble was lo- cated in my back and right hip. I had ti quit work and was mostly indoors. There was a time when I never expect- e.i to stand erect again, but. Dr. \\'il- liams’ l’ink Pills straightened me up again, not only that, but they made me the strong, hearty man you see me to- day. I can never describe the awful pain [suffered before I used these pills. I tried many medicines and bad treat. ment from several doctors. but to no avail. My legs became so stiff that in order to move at all I had to use crutch- es. Finally the doctors decided that l was incurable, and told me they could render no further assistance. I continu- ed to suffer day and night, and then came the turning point of my life. A friend from a distance came to see me and it w. s from him I learned that Dr. \‘Jilliams' Pink" Pills were a great cure for rheumatism. At once. I got a supply and began to use them. The first in. d-catioo that they were helping ::e was when the pain grew less severe. to. a fear week~ more the swelling in my legs and hips began to leave. then ill} joints sccnu‘d to loosen up. and then it was not long until my crutches were thrown aside and I could straighten up.

LONDON'S CIVIC KING. Lord Mayor of World‘s Metropolis Re- ceives $50,000 and Spends $150,000. The City of London allows the Lord Mayor whom it elects to office the sum of 3:10.000 as his salary for the year, in order to enable him to fulfill with dignity the many cxpensro duties that he will be called upon to perform. This might have been enough at one time in the. history of the city, but such are the demands of precedent in these times. and so unwilling would any Lord Mayor be to do the thing in a man- ner inferior to his predecessors. that this £10,000 is not half enough to bear lbt-‘cost of the office from November 9 to November 9. It i< generally understood that a Lord .\’Itl_\'f;f‘ is getting off very cheaply indeed if his yrar costs him no more. than £25,000. Such a year would be one in which there Would not be very much glory or distinction. Things would have been very quiet in the city. If royalty is there on one or two occa- sions. and above all if a foreign mon- arch pays a visit to a Corporation. as has happened so frequently in late years, the Lord Mayor may depend on it that his period of office is going to cost him £30000.

Hardin Man “'itli Bargain “'afcli, Easy Market Woman and Fake Sleuth. Berlin, Germany, has developed a new variation of the confidenco game. The victim who has brought it to light is Frau Elizabelli Andres, who keeps a stand in the Central Market. on the Alexanderplalz. The police are wonder- ing how many others have been victim- ized. Frau Andres was sitting at her stand one evening about 6.30 o'clock waiting for customers when a shabbily dressed man went up to her and poured it hard luck story into her ears. At the con- clusion he produced a near gold watch and semi-tearfully declared that his necessities obliged him to sell it for any old price. He begged Frau Andres to take it for 20 marks (about $5), assuring her that it had cost him 100 inarks‘hnd was still just as good. The slfrewd market woman scented a bargain but she drove a hard one. She finally become the owner of the watch in 16 marks ($4) and spent the next hour admiring her purchase and patting herself on the back. ' She had a rude awakening when a solemn man stalked up to her and ex- hibiting a metal badge announced that In was a Detective Muller of the police force and accused her of buying a stol- en watch. The thief. he said, had been arrested and had confessed turning it over to her. The woman was terrified. She shook with terror as if she had a chill and of course never thought of question or re- sistance when the detective laid on eni- bargo on the watch and informed her that she was under arrest as a receiver of stolen goods. While the woman closed her stand and prepar’d to go with him the de- tective strolled toward the entrance cf the market. When she was ready he beckoned to her to followâ€"they do these things differently in Germany-Band sizirtcd toward the nearest police office. The prisoner kept him in sight for a little way. but he vanished in crossing the Alexandrrplatz. Having no suspi. cion of the genuineness of her arrest. however. she kept right on to the Police Pref ‘cturc. Nobody seemed to know anything about her there. She was referral to tho Commissary in charge i nd he speed- it).. divincd that she had been sw‘ndlcd. The police are still lonking for the bun- co menâ€"which has a familiar sound.

Two Cases When Poor Fishermen “'ch Suddenly Exceptional Enriched. The romance. of sunken treasure would fill volumes, and in spite of the unâ€" doubted millions which lie beneath the waves it would probably be found that more money has been spent upon efforts l:i recover these wreck treasures than the value of all that have ever been to- covered. Still, just as a hard-up miner, without any capital but his pickaxc and his muscles, wdl sometimes stumble upon an enormous nugget worth a fortune, so a poor fisherman or sailor is at. times suddenly enriched by the finding of a longdost and valuable wreck. Twenty years ago a brig called the Barbaric foundorcd off Seawall, Nova Scotia. As her value was supposed to be small she was left to lie and go it. pieces. A Seawall fisherman, Thomas Burns by name, eventually bought the wreck for $5. It was supposed that Burns morer intended to get up the anchors and metal work and sell them for what they would fetch. The. neigh- bors were therefore amazed when the fisherman suddenly blossomed into A MAN OF WEALTH. I! has come out that Burns had heard a story that the Barbaric hail aboard her when she capsized a sum of $60,000, 'accuniulaled during three years' trading in the South Seas. Ile managed to get a professional diver from Halifax to help him, and between them they actu- ally rcoovcrcd fully $50000 in gold. A somewhat similar case is reported from the Mediterranean. A small party of Greek fishermen, at work off the Is- land of Chios, stumbled across the wreck of a large ship in fairly shallow water. One of them procured a dress, and div- ing to her found that she was a large linssian warship sunk there in I77 . in a sea-fight against the Turks. The fish- ermen kept the find quiet and went to tilt. Turkish Governor, who agreed to let lbeni raise the treasure upon paying ‘1 certain percentage to the Turkish Gov~ criiment. They then went to work, and with success far beyond their expecta- tions. Gold and silver crosses. jewel- led images. book-covers of gold and gems. together with money to the value of $60,000. were brouin to the surface, and the result is that these fishermen are now about THE HIGHEST MEN IN CIIIOS. Cases such as these are, of course. exceptional, and almost the only other of which the writer has been able to find record is that. of five French sailors who. about a century ago, recovered from a French warship, sunk off the Dutch island of 'l‘erschellmg, a box (I gold ingots valued at $300,000. There is said to be still some $2,500,000 in gold in the hold of this wreck, and we understand that a company has been formed to recover the money. But if large fortunes are rarely recov- ered from the sea by private individuals, smaller yet useful sums are not infre- quently found. Some years ago two young fellows were spending a holiday fishing off the Danish island of Anholf. when. the water being calm as glass. they noticed on the bottom, below their ‘ t to Call it, is one of diseases known.

AND $1.00; boat, what looked like great masses oi iron. They took their employer into their confidence, and he provided money with which ' SEVENTEEN FINE OLD CANNON were rccmmrcd. These, it turns out, \vere thrown overboard from a British warship which, in 1870, was wrecked on this coast. The guns were in excellent preservation, and were sold to various museums, thereby putting a nice little sum into the pockets of their finders. After the wreck of one of the Spanish warships sunk near Santiago had been apparently throughly exploited by the Company which bought the right, a div- or named Williams went down upon his own account and found a lump of silver dollars melted together. There were over 300 in all. and he sold them for some $l50. A similar case was re. ported after the searching of the Spun-z iin ship Cadiz, sunk off Ushant. A diver who had brought up some 00f: from the wreck was told by his grate- ful employers that he could have any- thing else there was to be found ’or himself. Ile made two trips below. At the first he got nothing: but at the soc- ond he fared better. He found in a. lock- or A RUSTl-Zl) HUNTING-KNIFE which had evidently once belonged to some great grandee. for in its haft were at jewels: which sold for $3,500! A curioim find was made off Caldera, which is a (Zhilian seaport. A Scottish American named Mackenzie was fishing of.“ the beach when, wedged among the rocks, he saw something which looked like a gigantic lizard. It proved to be a wonderfully perfect fossil of sonici prehistoric moster. It was 29 feet long.‘ nearly 10 feet across the back, and? wrighed six tons. It was sold to a. . museum for a sum of over $500. Some- what similar was the find of a I.owc-' stoft trawler, who secured in his trawl a mammoth tusk no less than 8 feet fii length, and so heavy that three men‘ could barely lift it. This relic also fetched a large sum of money. - Another Lowestoft trawler was lucky! enough to dredge up a great pebble of. amber, in shape resembling a long [.0- tiilo. It weighed nearly '3 lbs, and was sold to a London firm for $31000. Perhaps the oddest of small fortunes recovered in this fashion was by an amateur sea fisherman, who, as be beached his boat: upon a South Coast. sandbank, noticed some lumps of black siqu embedded in the sand. [[9 lifted. one, scratched it, and found it to no beeswax. Eventually he picked up over a quarter of a ton of the stuff, and. as it was in excellent condition. sold it forg/ enough to more than pay for his holiu; dayâ€"London Titâ€"Bits.
