v Salmi of‘ Calf’s Liver.~â€"Boil a cnlf’s liver in slightly salted water and let it get cold“ Then out into dice of suitable s'ize (about an inch in length and nearly as wide), and for each cupful allow a tablespoon~ ful of butter, 8. cupful of stock, a, teaspoonful of tomato sauce. and two tablespoonfuls of chopped olives. Brown the butter. stir into it a tablespoonfnl of butter, and stir over the fire until it thickens: add gradually the stock and cook‘ stirring continually until it is smooth and properly thickened. Now put in the catsup, olives‘ and liver dice and simmer for fifteen minutes. A glass of brown sherry is an improvement and makes a really elegant dish out of homely ingredients. This salmi may be used as the principal element in the family dinner if one begins de novo, as here directed. with .the whole raw liver. In making it from the leftover portion of a breaded and baked liver one omits, of course, the boiling mentioned in the first line of the recipe. The cooked liver is cut- into dice and not added to the rest of the ingredients nntil {it 36 a in with the Eatsup and olive-s at last." DAINTY DISHES. Pepper Pot.-'â€"Two pounds tripe, four calves’ fee-t, one red pepper. Cover with cold water, bring slowly tgo boil, and cook until the meat is tender. Take out the meat and skim the liquor. Cut the tripe into small bits and return it; to the li- quor, adding boiling water if need- ed. Stir in one-half tea-spoonful each of sweet marjoram, basil, and thyme, two sliced onions, two sliced potatoes, and salt to taste. When the vegetables are almost done add .a lump of butter rolled in flour, drop in some egg balls, boil for fif- teen minutes more, and serve. Bavarian Cream.â€"A quart of sweet cream, yolks of four eggs, half ounce of gelatin, one small cup of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of flavor- ing extract. Soak the gelatin in just enough water to cover it for one hour. Drain carefully in a col- ander. or strainer and stir it into a pint of the cream, made boiling hot. Beat the yolks smooth and light with the sugar, and heat into this the boiling mixture :1. little at a time. Heat again until it begins to thicken. but not until it actually boils. Remove from the fire. and while it is still hot stir in the other pint of cream, which has been whipâ€" ped in s. syllabub churn to a. stiff froth. Beat this “whip,” a spoon- ful at a time, into the custard until it is of the consistency of sponge cake batter. Dip a-mould into cold water to wet the inside, pour in the mixtu‘re and set it in the ice to form. When you serve it dip the mould into hot water for a second to loosen the cream, but not until it melts in the least; reverse upon a chilled glass dish and serve with whipped cream about the base. It is a. delicious summer Sunday des- sert. Eaat with angel cake.

Mix the spices with the sugar; cream butter, lard and sugar to- gether, add the egg, then the milk; next, the flour. into which the bak- ing powder has been sifted twice. This should make a. rather stiff bet- ter. Bake in gem pans. Top each with a raisin or two. This will make a dozen gems. ' Cheese Cakes.â€"Pr-ess all liquid from one and one-half cups of cotâ€" tage cheese, and beat it'light with two tablespoonfuls of cream and three eggs, Whipped hard. Swe‘eten with one-half cup sugar and flavor with the juice and rind of a. lemon. Beet, smooth and put into a. pie plate lined with puff paste. Bake in a good oven until set and lightly browned. Potatoes au Gratin.â€"Pa.rboi1 po- tatoes and peel them. Slice cross- wise and arrange in layers in a bake dish; sprinkling each layer with salt, pepper, and bits of but- ter. When the dish is full pour in a small teacup of hot milk in which a teaspoonful of butter has been melted. sprinkle the top layer of potatoes thickly with grated cheese, and sift fine buttered crumbs over this. Bake, covered, until heated all through, then uncover and brown. SUMMER DESSERTS. g 1’ Orange peel should be saved, as it makes a. delicious flavoring for cakes and puddings.

Fleming. "the people's Bob" of bY' gone days. has been in trouble again with the public. This time the trouble has been with his Electrical Development. 00-, which is supposed to bring Niagara power to Toronto to run the street railway and all the factories which have not gone over to the Hydro Electric for their sup- ply. Every time there has been a little thunder in the air and a cloud in the sky the power has gone 01?. once for five hours, leaving the people dependent on the street cars to get home the best way they knew how and closing down scores of fee- tories. What the trouble is no one out- side the confidence of "R J.” knows. He says it won’t occur again and you can believe him or not as you like. R. J. SHEDS HIS TROUBLES. It is a. good thing that “R. J.” carriel his troubles lightly. He tells a. character- istic story on himself. One evening he was driving home alone “up the hill” to his comfortable residence beyond the city limits: and therefore beyond the citv tax- gatherer. His big touring motor car caught up to a ladv_ pedestrian labori- ously climbing the incline. Neighbor-like he asked her to take a “lift.” She accent ed, and explained that she had been un- able to find room in a. street car. Mr. Fleming is a product of Toronto-« of the more or less despised east end. As a barefoot lad he played on the muddy banks of the Don. Later he was care- taker of Parliament stree; Methodist church, and recently told of getting up at 4 o‘clock on Sunday mornings to light the fires. When he grew up he started a coal and wood yard and then went in- to real estate. -He took to municipal politics as a. duck takes to water. He was elected alderman, and did good work on the assessment committee. When it was announced he was 1.0 run for Mayor people thought it a joke. But he ran and was elected. That was in 1891, when he vanquished E. B. Osler, now Sir Edmund. Five times afterwards he was elected. and left the Mayor‘s chair to become Assess- ment Commissioner, thence to the street railway. THE BASEBALL PROSPECTS. When the Toronto Baseball Club struck third place in the Eastern League the croakers said they had reached their lim- it. Indeed, before the season opened bets at even money were made that the Leafs would not finish one, two. three. During the losing streaks some of the criticism was directed at Manager “Joe” Kelly. They said he did not maintain discifiline. and that he did not supply the inspira- tion necessary to make. his team of all stars get together. But he may fool the critics prppefly byithe end 9? the season. When the team loses at home after a winning streak on the road the players' excuse is that the Island zroundn. when they not only play. but practise and live, are damn and ~ive then; rheupaatiemt There is a growing feeling that profes- sional baseball in the last few years has been taken too' seriously by the news- papers. and through them by the public. Baseball is all right. but, after all it In chiefly a. commercial proposition. based on human optimism. And it ls rather too much to expect every one of eight teams to be a pennant winner every year.

There has always been an impression that Sir William Mackenzie chose Flem- ing because of his "city hall influence,” but this is doing the manager an injus‘ tice. Doubtless the real reason of the choice was that Mr. Fleming is a man of great executive capacity. such as the sti‘eet lailway really needed. Mr. Fleming has had reverses: he in- vites them by his energv and his daring. He was caught. financially in the land boom in the nineties, and he has suffered defeat at the polls. But he has a philo- sophical temperament. The scars of the land smash are now being wiped out, for his salary is said to be in the neigh- borhood of $20,000 ’a year. with an occa- sional $10,000 bonus thrown in: t ' The 1am week of July is interesting to the Toronto taxpayer because he is then required 10 pay the first. instalment of the year‘s taxes.

In Canada there. is no great slackening in the demands for municipals, although there are, of course. quiet spells. The quietness in England has resulted in a lowering of prices in many cases, and consequently there are many municipal bonds on the market, at present selling- considerably below the price: of even a year ago. It is quite possible that if the London market remains quiet for a. long period these prices may shade a bit. fur- ther. Happily. however, the prohabilitv of a long period of quiet in England is not. likely. and as a. natural coroner" prices are not likely to depress further. Probably after a neriodof quietnessthe prices will begin to move upward, for {here is observable at present a. tendency for money to cheapen. and with cheauer money bonds cannot fail to respond with an advance in price. Indeed. it appears quite likely tha-t- within the next. 1wn years some of the prices quoted at‘ pre- sent will appear as low as those of 1907 do now. WINE SAFE INVESIMENIS MUNICIPAL MARKETS NOW APPEAR T0 IE VERY LOW, AND IMPROVEMENT LIKELY. The market for municipal bond: has been pretty quiet during the past few months. Prices have declined and the amount of business has Blackened. all because of the fact that the London mar- ket is not in a receptive. mood. The i'ea- sons for London‘s present attitude. are several. Firgt, of course. comes the un- easiness in the political situation: then the samefeelinx respec‘ing the foreign situation. The tremendous amount of is- suea of. recent years has, too. caused a glut in the market. And. finally. there is always necessary a period of digestion after any prolonged period of satisfying hungerâ€"financial 'or physicalâ€"and Eng- land has been gobbling up everyming that has ofl‘ered for a long time past. and is now quietly enjoying a. rest. while the prpceu ofr aegimilation proceedq. Financing Toronto has become a seri- ous matter. The expenditure this year will run well over $9,000.000. a sum much beyond the requirements for the ordin- ary activities of the government for the entire Province of Ontario. Here are some of the big items which no to make no such an impressive total: Debt charges .. .. $2,340,136 Courts . . . . . . . .. . . .. .. . 135,024 Police Department 689.508 Jail .. 47,830 Public Schools .. .. 1,647,041 High Schools .. .. .. 229,141 Technical Schools .. 98,819 Senarate Schools 118,150 Hospitals 125.000 Board of Health 122,957 Isolation Hospital . . . . . . . . 56.756 Law Department 36.350 Assessment Departmen .. 87,909 Charitable Grants 94,950 Roadways 147.389 Snow Cleaning ... 58,664 Engineering Salaries . .. 48,060 Street Cleaning 5l9,336 Street Watering . .. 83.367 Maintenance of Sta-bias 59,592 Waterworks 408.913 Fireman’s Salaries .. .. .. 314,700 Fire Hydrants (water) 157.950 Street Lighting 247,205 City Hall Maintenance 69.229 ' Architect’s Salaries .. 42,815 Oflicial Salaries . . . . . . . . . . 150,056 Not all of the $9,000,000 expenditures has t.) be raised by direct taxation. The water. works department. for example. provides nearly $1,000,000 revenue. The street rail~ way company. under its agreement. now yields almost another $1,000,000 annually. Licenses contribute over $200,000. The ex- hibition may .vield a profit of $60,000. But when all the sources of revenue have been exhausted there remains a substantial sum of 06.286963 to be raised by taxes. This is‘raised on an assessment of 0343,- 598,145. Reduced to what the individual pays this means that 'a man with pro- perty assessed at $5.000 has to put up $92.- 50. which. with his local improvements for sidewalks, pavements. eta. brings his taxes to more than $100. As may be judged from the aim; of the annual debt. charges. the city's debt has reached large m‘onortions. The gross debt stands at $43,000,000. reduced bv cash $1,000,000 and investments of $9,000,000 to a net amount of $33,000,000. Offsettinz this in Dart is the fact that the pronerty owned by the qity is worth at ieast $20,000,000. Nevertheless, it came as something of a shock to many citizens to learn that the Mayor and the City Treasurer had. failgd to sell 85,000,000 more bonds in Eng- mud. Many peopla ‘do not, like municipal bonds as investments because thev are not exciting and their yield is small. All of which is quite true. But the avernzé mun when he puts away his savings in a bank is not going to o mplaiin because there is no run on th institution in which he deposits his mosey. though. good- nesa‘knownit is exciting enough when it happens. He may complain. however. that the rate is too low. and in that .hehaa his own remedy in his own handsâ€"4w can buy bonds. , Therefore, a Good Tm. to Buy lendsâ€" Thoro an Some Other Wuys for a Man to Uu m: Moneyâ€"Mining Stocks mm I Slmplo Way to Get RM of It.

Bonds of compan- ies supplying the necessaries of life, such as the bonds of the large packing com- panies, flour mills, etc.. are, usually speak in» safe enough for the average man. To repay him for his slightly greater risk these bonds pay a considerably better rate of interest. If he wants to take a lesser risk than the more speculative industrial bonds, but hesitates over buying the more stable industrials. he can purchase the debentures of western towns, which are by .no means gilt-edged, yet are safe enough short of a. national calamity. But if he wants a high degree of safety GI.- nedian city debentures. railroad equip- ment bonds and bonds of most public ser- vice companies would answer his purpose.
