Giving a»ay money has with these men taken the place of the desire to pile up additional millions. They have their own ideas about giving it away. They seldom give large sums with out imposing rigid conditions. Almost invariably Mr. Rockefeller requires that his beneficiary raise a similar or even greater amount from other sources Ref ore even the smallest ar.ount is given the object is care fully investigated. Mr. Carnegie is equally careful. Skilled investigators report on every application for char ity. Only the most noteworthy re quests are granted. Messrs Rockefeller and Carnegie have their prejudices and their weak nesses. Roth also have their hobbies. Mr Carnegie's is building libraries. Mr Rockefeller’s is his gene-al educa tion board and the University of Chi cago. Some Record Gifts. i neir prmcipa. gif^ are surpris ingly alike in size and purpose. Mr. Rockefeller favors this university. Mr. Carnegie that one. While one of the ii king s chief wift has been JS.24 i "to the Institute of Medical Re search. Mr. Carnegie has given S13. . 1 for pensions to educators. Cfci.r< hes and missions have reccited niort !rom the oil king than they have :rcm Mr Caret gie The Rockefeller ■rirt of $.*?,.i, to the g nerai edu cat: n board is the greatest single gift ne r_ai: has ever made in the history of the world, and it is said to be the oil king's intention to increase it to ■,'1 w-thln the next few years. Mr Rockefeller's big gif*s. like Mr. i Carnegie's are always made in bonds of railroads steel and oil companies. It has been many years since the oil and steel king have met. but in their early days they were frequent ly together They are about the same age—Mr. Carr.-'gie is 73 and Mr Rock efeller 71. Both started in life with out a dollar, and both became mil lionaires before they were 65. As every one knows. Mr. Carnegie made ' • millions in steel and Mr Rceke ieber his in oil. Both have given lib eraliy to their home towns—Pittsburg and Cleveland—and both now live in New York. They have many oTher I; -fits of resemblance, including their unflagging interest in golf. Rivalry of Magnificence. And now these two men. having ac cumulated greater individual fortunes than this country has ever before known, and having retired from ac tive management of the great corpo | rations in which they are the dom , inant figures, are engaged in a unique rivalry of munificence. Each is try ing to see how he can give away the greatest amount of money to accom plish the greatest good. The philan thropies of other rich men look almost insignificant beside the regal gifts of ’hese two. though in proportion to the wealth upon which they had to draw other men may really have surpassed them in generosity. Today the live question in philan •hropic circles is what will Mr. Rocke feller do next? Other things being equal, the man with the' bigger bank account should win the race. And Mr. Rockefeller is the richer of the , two. But if he tries very hard Mr. Car negie ought surely to be able to grat ify his wish to die poor! Men know less than they let cn. women more.

Dainties for Saint Valentine's Day. 1c preparing sandwiches for a Yal i entice party, the appropriate shape is j of course, a heart. It is a good pian | when serving sandwiches to have sev eral kinds. Th< following are a few ’ sut^testions which may be new to j some: Sardines sl.ndded and seasoned | with chili sauce bt tween slices of white bread. Yellow tomato preserved j with ginger or lemon between white ! bread sandwiches. Gingerbread spread with crt am cheese and thin slices of ; preserved ginger. Neufohatel cheese seasoned with salt, cream, paprika. Worcestershire sauce and a half cup of chopped nuts, put between slices of . graham or rye bread. A delicious ! sweet sandwich may be made by ba king a plain sponge cake in sheets, then cut with the heart cutter and put together with flavored, sweetened whipped cream. Drain the juice from a can of peaches, peel three oranges to a pint of peaches. Arrange the sections of orange alternately with the peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pour over the sweetened juice of the peaches. Serve very cold Cut squares of cream cheese, lay in the bleached cup of head lettuce. Roll the cheese in chopped nuts, gar nish with half a walnut meat and a few seeded white grapes. Just be fore serving add mayonnaise dress ing. Another nice way of serving cheese is to season cream cheese, add chopped nu's and use this mixture to stuff dates. Beat the yolks of two eggs until thick, add a cup of brown sugar, one cup of chopped nut meats and the stiffly beaten whiles of two eggs; add ~ x tables poonfuis of flour and a pinch of salt. Spread on a buttered sheet and bake in a moderate oven. Cut in luares when removing from the ba king sheet. Peaches and Orarges. Delicious Salad. Nut Cookies. f it is bad f >r the pitcher. Things Wcrth Remembering. A heavy rocking chair that is hard to move may. by ti-vrc the rockers, be made to slide * r.s*** Never throw away popcorn that re fuses to pop. because it is too dry. Sprinkle it with water about five min utes before using and usually every kernel will pop. When tl.e clock refuses to run. try t utting a smail dish of coal oil in the clerk The oil will evaporate and loosen up the w ,-rks. Powdered alum mixed with a third as much talcum and applied with a flannel will polish gold braid A cup of sweet milk added to the water in which oatmeal is cooking makes it richer and better flavor. To remove the grease quickly from soup, lay on squares of tissue paper on the surface of the soap and re move lightly when well saturated. Household Hints. During the cold months, w hen hang ing out clothes on wash day. it may be well to remember that there are ways of making that task pleasanter. For one way. hang the small things like handkerchiefs and napkins on the clothes horse and set them out on the back porch out of the wind, to freeze and dry. Anotherk help is to warm the clothes pins in the oven until quite hot. It is surprising how long they will keep warm and how much it helps in quickly placing the clothes, to have warm fingers. A custard pie may pose as several varieties: by adding a few tablespoon fuls of cocoanut. it is a cocoanut pie. A little chocolate makes it another, while carraelizing the sugar before adding it to the custard gives another flavor decidedly pleasant. Dried peas are much cheaper than the canned variety, and can be used just as many ways. Try them with a stew- of mutton, putting the peas in with the meat and cook slowly for several tours. The peas season the meat and the meat adds to the flavor i of the peas. T IS more difficult and calls for higher energies of the soul to live a martyr than to die one. House-Cleaning Time. The up-to-date housekeeper does not make house cleaning a burden to her family or a torture to herself. She begins early enough to do things that may be done early, and when time is not so pressing. An hour or so a day to go over drawers, desks and boxes will accom piish wonders in a few weeks' time, with co apparent effort. Here is where the systematizing of one's work will show. There is so much that must of ne cessity be thrown away, but it seems a pity that good magazines and pa pers which would be a pleasure to many, should be burned. Many good women are netting tbe addresses of women who live out cn our prairies out of touch with so much that makes life worth living, and are sending them old magazines to read; this is true missionary work which costs so little, yet means much to 1 poor people who love the things that ; are denied them. Wheie there is an accumulation of papers and magazines, they may be sold or given where they will be sent to those who will use them By starting* early with this work of looking over the household treas ures. one has leisure to sort and ar range things in good order. When the cleaning time comes things are ‘ not then in a hurly-burly. Have a large drawer in which are kept nice pieces of paper, both tissue and wrapping paper, string, ribbon and boxes of all sizes. Such a draw - , er will be a source of comfort, as it will always be in demand. Keep in this drawer nice little gifts ' that have been enjoyed and are ready i to be passed on. One thrifty woman ! has a few little gifts all ready to give on occasions that are constantly ari sing. One who has such a well-furnished j drawer is always ready when called I on for donations for the children's ward or the charity bazar. Have a tray for the soap fastened with rivets to the side of 'he scrub pail; it will pay for itself in soap in | a short time. V.

A very dainty way of serving cran berry with chicken for any function is to prepare the cranberry jelly and i mold it by pouring the jelly into a : cup and setting a smaller on* inside: when cool fill the cup with chicken or any meat desired. An appropriate cake to serve for a Valentine party is one frosted with whi'e frosting and decorated with pink candy hearts around the edge and a rose laid on the center of the cake. A Lady Baltimore cake is a good ' one to serve on such an occasion. Kisses are another dainty cake which are great favorites for chil dren's parties To the whites of nine • ggs add a pound of granulated sugar with as little stirrirg as possible Fla vot with any desired flavor, drop on burered sheets and bake a golden brown Put together in pairs with whipped cream, sweetened and fla vored. Maple Biscuit. Cut baking powder biscuit with a small-sized cutter, have the dough a . quarter of an inch in thickness, lay two together with a bit of butter be tween and as much gra'ed maple sugar as will stay on the halves Fake in a hot oven Chopped nuts added ' to the maple sugar makes a richer and nicer biscuit. It is so easy nowadays to find ap propriate favors, boxes or molds for : serving h.on hems, ices or creams for this festive day. Ginger Nuggets. Boil together one-half cup of water and a cupful each of brown and white : sugar. Cook to the soft ball stage, add a quarter of a teasnean of soda, half a teaspoonful of vanilla and pour over the well-beaten w hite of an egg. beat well and add a half cup of chopped Center, ginger. Drp by tea * spoonfuls on buttered sheets. One may serve ice cream, the brick variety, in slices, then n«e a heart cutter to cut a heart-shaped serving.

Visitors to the mosque of St. So phia in C onstantinople notice imme diately they enter a beautiful fra grance pervades the entire building. The solution lies in the fact that when ’ it was built 1.000 years ago the stones and bricks were laid in mortar mixed with a solution of musk Those who laid these stones have been long for 1 gotten, but the influence and fragrance of their work remains.—Sunday at Home. Green Foods for Pussy. A woman w ho raises pedigree cats for market declares that green foods . in the winter are necessary to the ! health of the animals. For this she provides the so-called umbrella plant, belonging to the grass family, and easily grown, to which she allows the cats free access. This, of course, ru ins the plant for decorative purposes, but to many of us Miss Angora's , health is more to be desired than ■ many umbrella plants.—Designer. The First “Cowboys." "Cowboy" was once a sinister word in American politics. In the Revolu tionary war the “cowboys" were a set of Tories in Westchester county. New York, popularly so-called because of the brutal roughness with which they treated their Whig or rebel neighbors. It was, no doubt, in memory of them that the name of “cowboys” was given ir. 185k to cer tain people in Connecticut ar.d other parts of New England who were al most secessionists. Personalities in “Pilgrim's Progress." The "Pilgrim's Progress" is a gal I lery of portraits, admirably discrimi ! Dated, and as convincing in their self ‘ verification as those of Holbein. His ! personages live for us as few figures outside the drama of Shakespeare live They are not, like the humorists of j Ben Jonson’s plays, constructed by ' heaping a load of observations on a series of ethical abstractions; they i are of a reasonable soil and human ! flesh subsisting.—Edward Dowdea: j "Puritan and Anglican." THE SCHOOLS OF WESTERN CANADA In Seme cf the Cities and Towns the School Buildings Cannot Accom modate the Increasing Num bers. Cue of The most important factors ?n the building of a new country is the attention that is paid by the au thorities to the education of the rising generation. Fortunately for western Canada, the settlement of that new country began in such recent years hat it was able to lay a foundation for this work, gained by the experi ence of older countries. In this way the very best is the resuit. Through out the entire country are to be seen the most improved style of architec ture in school buildings. The cities and towns vie with each other tn the efforts to secure the best of accom modation and at the same time get architectural iines that would appeal. Sufficient to say That nowhere is there the greater attention paid to elemen tary and advanced education than in western Canada. A report just to fcaaa snows That in Calgary, Alberta, there are eighty teachers employed, anu the enrollment 4.22> pupils. In lire Province of Alberta there was a it al of 40."60 rupils attending schools 5k 1909. The total enrollment for the year In city, town and village schools was 22.963. and the total in rural schools w as 23.165. There are in the province 970 schools with 1.323 de pamnents. At the close of 1909 there was a total of 1.096 school districts in the province. Great attention is paid also to agricultural education. The best uses of the soil and such other matters as tend to make the agricul ture less of a drudge and more of a success are employed. When there is the combination of good soil, splen did climate and healthy and advanced ideas in the methods employed in agriculture, we see accomplished the results that have placed western Can ada on its present high plane in the agricultural world. There is to be found men of high standing in liter ary spheres as well as in financial circles who are carrying on farming, not alone for the pleasure they de rive but for the profit they secure. Mr. Adler, a wide-awake business man . f New- York, has a ranch near Strath mere. Alberta. He is highly pleased with his success the past year. He says: “On July 25th we estimated our crop at 6.000 bushels of wheat. A week later we increased our estimate to 12,000 bushels. A few days later we again increased our estimate, this nine to IS.000 bushels, but after har vest in September we found we had 20.150 bushels. If that isn't a record, what is? he asked. "This crop was made with practi cally no moisture." he continued, "and we now have & better opinion of the fertility of Alberta lands than ever and value our lands higher than we ever did before." Mr. Adler, who has been on the "arch for r.bout a week, leaves for New York Saturday. This gentleman is conducting a farm on a large scale, and has plenty of means to develop it, and his may not be taken as a fair case. There are. though, instances of thousands who have begun life on small farms in western Canada with but brains and the determination over and above the couple of hundred dollars in ready money that they possessed, and Today are owners of large farms and hand some incomes, all the result of their efforts on land that was responsive to the touch of the hand that held the plow-. Instances such as these can be quoted if you will communicate with the nearest Canadian government agent, w ho will also mail you free de scriptive literature. A Moscufc in uondon. It is proposed to erect a mosque in he capita! of the greatest Moham medan power in the world, and the only surprising feature of t he pro ject is that it has not been executed oefore. The building is to cost £ 100, 000. to which the aga khan has al ready contributed £5.000. The com mittee in control of the scheme is presided over by Amir Ali. and in cludes the Turkish and Persian min isters. as well as three members oi the council of India.—London Globe.

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR GROWTH OF DOPE H^BIT Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not Patent Medicines the Cause. h'ew York.—Blame for the prev alence and growth of the morphine habit was placed on the shoulders of physicians, who prescribed the drug, at a meeting of druggists here to night to protest against the recently ena ted city ordinance prohibiting the sale at retail of any preparation con taining morphine or its salts except upon a doctor's prescription. The ordinance is aimed primarily at paregoric and at stomach renit dies, according to members of the board of health who were instrumental in ob taining its passage Caswell Mayo, one of the druggists, said he had made a canvass by mail of several sanitariums and 'he replies convinced him PO per cent, of the victims of drugs formed the habit as a re..ult of using prescriptions given by physi cians and only s per cent, from usiDg proprietary medicines.
