Some Simple Pudding Sauces.
The best of puddings may lie ruined
by an insipid ill-chosen sauce. Hard
sauces are to be served on hot pud
lings. The following are a few which
may be varied by different flavors.
Warm but do not melt a half cupful of
gutter and add gradually a cupful of
pulverized sugar, then fold in the
whiles of two eggs beaten stiff. Flavor
with the juice of a lemon and two tea
rpoonfuls of vanilla. Fuck in a mold
snd keep cool until ready to serve with
the pudding. A good hard sauce is
made by using the same amount of
sugar with the white of one egg aud
half the butter.
Mash a pound of maple sugar, add a
half cupful of water and boll until it
threads. Four this in a thin stream on
he well-beaten whites of two eggs,
-lining and beating the mixture brisk
ly all the time. Add a half cupful of
w hipped cream just at the last.
Fluffy Sauce.
Si-ald a cupful of milk iu a double
.toiler. Stir in a level tablespoonful of
xirn starch. wet with a little milk. Cook
:en minutes, stirring often. Cream two
‘.ablespoonfuls of butter, add one cup
'nl of j*h\ dered sugar until very light.
Vdd a teaspoonful of vanilla and a
>inch of salt, then beat this into the
thickened milk which has l»een cooled.
Heat Uie white of au egg dry and whip
t into the sauce until light aud fluffy.
Fruit Sauce.
Take a cupful of sugar, a tablespoon
ful of cornstarch or two of flour, mix
.veil with the sugar aud add a half cup
ul of (toiling water, cook until stm-ith
ir.d the starch or flour is thoroughly
-oofced. then add a cupful of any kind
if canned-fruit juice, or if that is not
it hand add two or three tablespoon
"uls of mild vinegar, more hot water
rod a tablespoonful of nutter with a
uniting "f nutmeg and a pinch of sain
This sauce is especially nice with cot
age pudding, a pudding made like a
• dain cake.
To make a most delicious sauce
vliich is neither a hard or soft one use
wo tablespoonfuls of softened butter
rod a cupful of powdered sugar and
Alien well creamed fold in a half cup
'll! of whipjied cream. Flavor to taste.
The Speed of Animals

Making Glad Waste Places of Earth.
I
By A. W. DOUGLAS.
Throughout all time the inhabitants of the desert have been men of
force and originality both in thought and endeavor. Their civilizations j
have ever been marked ijike by material and mental accomplishments. It
was no mere coincidence that this was as true of the Arabs who overran
Spain as of the Babylonians who blazed the way of civilization, for their
freedom of thought and initiative in action were bred in them by the vast
ness and solitude of their environment.
So in our times, we are building in our arid regions an empire of irri
gation that embodies the spirit of progressive democracy. It is no men
accident that irrigated regions have set the pace in all manner of intelli
gent agricultural production and distribution. Nor is it by blind chance
that in the main the states of irrigation are among the lowesi in illiter
acy and the source and mainstay today of most of the reforms in our
social, economic and political life. For irrigation is that wonderful thing,
■ the creation of life from death, and making glad the waste places of the

“English as She Is Spoke"
Not Much Like the English
Language. Declares Writer
Spoken American has traveled far 1
from spoken English. The English lift
the receiver and mildly inquire: “Are
you there!" Americans rattle the han
dle and cry: “H'lol H’lo Who
ziss?” The English say: “Kahther!”
We say “Sure thine 1” They “do her j
in;” we “double-cross her.” They tap
their foreheads significantly and mnr
mur: “Balmy 1” We remark: “No
| buddy a-tomel”
And spoken American has traveled
even further. Hugh Mearns writes tn
McClure's. We have no written lan
guage. Our print is the English lan
guage; our speech is the American.
For instance, we must use English let
ters to indicate the sour'd of a common
American salutation: “Godda macha
bowoha?" (Have yon go: a match
about you:). But. alas, how this crude
salting maligns our smoothly articu
lated vernacular. *
Our language—the American—is no
stationary thing. It is on the move;
it has characteristic “hustle." We are
busy smashing consonants, spoiling
vowels, crushing whole phrases .nto a
grunt—"uddia-doou-air?" (What are ;
• you doing there?) "Sry.” (That Is
’ right.) In that respect our deveiop
menpis like the French language dur
ing the period of its most rapid ad
1 vanoe. Like the French, we have be
gun to drop our final consonants. A
jitney .ide costs “fi-cense" (five cents).
Our evening valedictory is "Goor.ight1"
Like the French, too. we have a
marked liaison—the borrowing of a let
ter from the preceding word. We in- ,
vile one another to "Cmeer." (Come ]
here.) We guess at a hard name and
add: “Sumpin nike at." (Somethings
like that.) If we don't bear distinct- i
ly we nudge our neighbor and inquire: J
“Wah zee say?" (What did he say?) i
"Hoo-zat?" (Who is that?) hss as
gin! a liaison as the French vons a vex.
In a few years one may not be as- .
tonished to see the great American :
i novel decked out in its own patois, j
t Fancy a page like this:
“Wen-juh gid din?” sez she.
“Lass-night," ;ei he.
“Kinna way long?"
“Munce u' munce."
“Hows ze oh town?”
“Aw-rye."
“Fie nole ciddy.” sez he.
“Ass-rye.” sez she.
Isn’t it intoxicating? One’s own. ;
one's native speech. To t»e sure, this is
; only a faint phonetic reproduction of ■
the great American language—to do it j
i justice wouid require a special alphu
j bet—but it is “sornpin nike at.”

Fat and Forty.
By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner of Health of PennsyL
vania.
Forty is an unlucky number for men ‘
fire feet eisrb.t or under if it is the waist j
"k. measure. Any
number above that
is equally to be
avoid ed. Over
, weight is danger
ous and is indica
t i v e of several
things. Either the
appetite is not
controlled, icsuffi
h cient exercise is
r taken or the diet
f is made up of im
^B property selected
foodstuffs.
If any or all of these things are to
blame it is the part of wisdom to seek
cxj>ert advice and begin the remedy
forthwith. To sink into the placid indif
ference of the fat-and-forty stage is a
crime against your health. It means in
all probability that the liver and kid
neys are overworked and the result of
any such strain prolonged is at times
fatal.
There is another reason which is
worth almost equal consideration. To
overfeed undermines one's health. Phy
sical fitness has a distinct bearing on
a man's mental attitude and unfitness
has also. The man who through neg
lect and lack of control over his appe
tite begins to eat himself into an early
grave, loses his crispness of thought.
The self-respect which every man who
achieves things should have for him
self as a clean well-groomed animal, is
lacking.
"Don't weakly excuse yourself if you
have unconsciously slipped into this
class. Get busy and work yourself out
of it before it is too late.
Had Suffered Enough
An old American revolutionary sol
dier was a candidate for congress, and
Ms opponent was a young man who
had “never been to the wars." It was
the custom of the old soldier to tell of
the hardships he had endured. Said
he:
"Fellow citizens. I have fought and
bled for my country. I have helped to
whip the British and the Indians. I
have slept on the field of battle with
no other covering than the canopy of
heaven. I have walked over the frozen
ground till every footstep was marked
with blood.”
Just about this time one of the vot- {
ers. who had become greatly interested
in his tale of suffering, walked np in
front of the speaker, wiped the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of his
coat-tail, and interrupted him with:
“Did you say you had fought the Brit- I
ish and Ingins?”
“Yes. sir.”
“Did yon say you had slept on the
ground while serving your country ■
without any kiver?"’
“I did.”
“Did you say your feet covered the
ground you walked over with blood?”
"Yes.” replied the speaker, exult- I
ingly.
“Well, then.” said the tearful citizen,
as he gave a sigh of pent-up emotion,
•I guess I II vote for t'other fellow, for
I'll be hanged if you4ia'n't done enough
for your country .”—Pittsburgh Chroni
cle-Telegraph.
They Just Want to Know
The inquisitiveness of children i
which, as Oliver Wendell Holmes says, i
makes them the terror and despair ot
their parents, has no object save the
craving to know about tilings, so Dr. J.
Mitchell Bruce, consulting physician to
Charing Cross hospital. London, told
Ms students at the opening of the win- :
ter session. The small boy is hungry
for knowledge for its own sake, just '
as he ears because lie is hungry, with
■tit any notion of the physiological use
of food.
A Race of Tenors
Generally speaking, races living at 1
high altitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
in regions where the supply of oxygen
j is more plentiful. •
Thus, in South America, among the
Indians living on ihe plateaus between
the ranges of the Andes, at an eleva
tion of from 1< i.OOO feet to 14.000 feet,
the men have voices like women, and
the women like children, their singing
being a shrill monotone.
Animal That imitates Fruit
An animal which the Filipinos call
eagur.n is one of the most curious mara
' inn Is that exists, offering at the same ,
time the characteristics of monkey and
hat.
it hangs lrom n branch downward.
• its four feet together and its head l>e- i
tween its puws. In this position it
’never disturbed hy birds or beasts of
prey for it resembles some unpalata
ble fruit of ureal size, of which there
are runty pxaittjdes la the .topical
woods. The mgntni harmonizes so weil
whh the barb of the tree on which it
seeks its roost that it feels practically !
certain that it will not be molested.
New Occupation For Women.
The newest occupation for women Is
a development of the sight-seeing car
industry, now grown to great proper- .
tions in Xew York. Females engaged '
in the new occupation are called .
“sonatters.” Their duties are to dress
attractively, carry an armful of cam
eras aud guide books and occupy seats !
in otherwise vacant sight-seeing cars
nntil the time arrives when the ears
are tolerably well-filled. They are
simply decoys used to “get them com
ing.” They never make a trip in one
of the cars. As soon as the car in j
which they are sitting has something
like a fair quota of passengers aboard,
they quietly and unostentatiously dis- •
mount and go to another "stand.” '
where a vacant car is dne to arrive. I
They work on a regular schedule and j
are tolerably well paid.
As a rule when people say whas 'bet i
mean a lot of explanation is necessar-. |

the Channel tunnel, with problems sug
gested by the war. observes the London
Chronicle. An easy passage from the ;
Forth to the Clyde was recognized by
Defoe in the reign of Queen Anne ;
as a sound, strategic and commercial !
proposition. In the middle of the
eighteenth century the Glasgow corpor
ation added £1.000 to the fund for con
structing the present very useful barge i
canal through the Kelvin valley be-!
tween the Forth and the Clyde.
What a ship canal between the North j
sea and the Atlantic would mean for j
the British navy as well as for Glas
gow may be gathered from a compari
son of the time saved by avoiding the 1
stormy waters of the Pentland Firth.
A ship leaving Glasgow for Hull would j
save 626 miles: for Dundee 434. for '
lx>ndon 271. and for Hamburg (if ever ,
the time should come again) 4S7. Liv
erpool. of course, would share these
economies with Glasgow. Geologists. !
as if to encourage the pioneers, remind <
us that the sea once flowed across<
Scotland through the valleys where the ;
proposed canal would run.

Luck for Three Murphys.
Because they possess the name of
Murphy, three students in search of
an education, are on their way to their
ambition, through the terms of the
will of the late William S. Murphy, a
Harvard alumnus, who left $100,000 to
the university, the income of which
is to support scholarships for men of
his name.
As there are no freshmen of that
name entered this fall, three scholar
ships were given instead fo students
in the graduate schools, only one of
whom holds a Harvard degree.
The holders are Clifton Murphy of
Georgetown. S. C.. first-year student
in the law school: William A. Murphy
of Boston, in his first year in the
medical school, and Gardner Murphy
of Boston, a student in the graduate
school.

PRISONtRS OF PARLIAMENT
Offenders May Be Shut Up in Clock
Tower, but Buy Own
Meals.
Few people are aware that the
houses of parliament have their own
prison. Yet situated high up in the
clock sower is the M. P.'s prison, con
sisting of four bedrooms and two sit
ting rooms. Loudon Tit-Bits say>.
The honorable member who lias been
dishonored by imprisonment for a
breach of parliamentary etiquette does
not Rave a very hard life in St. Steph
en's prison. The prisoner's meats are
sent up to him from the house of com
mons' kitchens and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
dinary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris
oner. he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authorities!
Perhaps the best remembered occu
pant of parliament's prison was Mr.
Bradlaugh who was sentenced by the
speaker to imprisonment in the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested so to do.
Offenders against parliament other
than members have before now been
sentenced to impri'-oument in the clock
tower. These “outsiders" have includ
ed several public speakers and the edi
tor of a prominent newspaper.
All She Wanted to Know.
“Did he make his money honestly?"
“Dear me. I didn't think to ask him
that.”
"No?"
“No. A11 I was particular about was
knowing that he had it."
But if the office sought the man
there would be fewer men running
for it.

Canada extends to you a hearty invita
tion to settle on her FREE Homestead
lands of 160 acres each or secure some
of the low priced lands in "lanitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. This year wheat is higher but
Canadian land just as cheap, so the opportunity is more at
tractive than ever. Canada wants you to help feed the world
by tilling some of her fertile soil—land similar to that which
dunng many years has averaged 20 to 45 bushels of wheat
to the acre. Think of the money you can make with wheat
around $2 a bushel and land so easy to get. Wonderful
yields also Of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed farming
in Western Canada is as profitable an industry as
grain growing. ^
