Plain Plum Cakes. Mix half a pound of butter in nearly three pounds of flour unel six ounces of Demerara sugar, add half a pound of currants washed and dried, half a pound of sultanas, two ounces of chopped candied peel, put throe spoonfuls of yeast into a pint of new warm milk, stir well together, then pour it into the flour. etc., and make into a light dough. Knead lightly, then divide into twelve pieces iuto shapely cakes, set upon floured tins and bake in a good oven.

Value of Sugar. Sugar is an excllent muscle power giver. It is coming more and more into use amongst athletes, rowing and cycling clubs, etc. Pure sugar docs not injure the teeth as it is erroneously supposed to do it is fruit acids used to flavour sweets which does this. Negroes, who eat such large quantities of sugar, have the best teeth in the world.

Some Sensible Rules. Take rest and exercise in such proportions -as the body seems to require. Go to bed early, and let your room be well ventilated. Eat plain nutritious food at regular hours, mider cheerful circumstances if possible, and "without haste. A little fasting is often the best remedy for a slight cold, a slight fever, neuralgia of the lace and everything due to disorders of the stomach. oine people eat so much after fasting that they spoil the effect.

On Peeling Onions. We are persistently told that to prevent discomfort from peeling onions we may peel them under water. It does, to some extent, accomplish the object, but it rnias the hands s Not even potatoes make such havoc with the fingers. And one cannot always stop to put on gloves, even if one has a kind that the Water will not shrink. A remedy that does work, however, is this Cut off a square inch or so of raw potato and stick it on the tip end of t-he knife you are to use to peel with. It works like a charm. The potato absorbs the union fumes, and youi eyes are safe.

Bad Spelling. Bad spelling, says Benjamin Franklin in one of iiis letters, is generally the best as conforming to the sounds of the letters and words. To give you an instance. A gentle- matt received a letter in which were these words—"Not finding Brown at hom, I delivered your meseg to his yf." The gentle- man, tindiug it bad speLing, and therefore not very intelligible, called his lady to help him to read it. Between them they picked out the meaning of all but the yf. which they could not understand. The lady proposed to cail her chambermaid, because "Betty," says she, "has the best knack at reading bad spelling of any I know." Betty was sur- prised that they could not tell what yf was. "Why," says she, "y-f spells wife what else can it spell ?" SEE

IMPRESSIONS OF MADRID. In "Anglican Innocents in Rrain," Mr. F. E. Sidney has set down his impressions of its people, its churehes, its amusements, and its climate. The result, stamped though it doubtless is with the hall-mark of truth, is hardly compli- mentary to the Southerner and the country in which he dwells. For example, we find the following description of Madrid, which reminds the author of a second-rate Brussels: The view of Madrid, when first approached by the railway, is very disappointing. Tl-ieie arc no commanding buildings, the Royal Palace excepted. The city, being dominated by neiiher tower nor spire, presents c onsequurtly a flat and poor appear- ance. One's first impression is not improved on acquaintance with the streets, whi h are al>out the worst of any capital in Europe i,ct,i- seldom clfaned, and ti'ieu iii L. deep in filih, which fcaid filth is occasionally scratched up into encrmous mud heaps and left to overturn tho first unwary cab which rondos across this luckless path. The' beauties of a Lorscon mud-cart were neverappreciated at their inie worth ■el' re I saw these streets. How the very rackety labs. hang tog-ether remains a mystery which 1 have never been able to solve. The city is laid out on no p-an whoever, and forms a heter geneous mass of ill-considevrd, i, can streets, with one or two main arteries running in eccentric directions: the heart. and lungs of the whole plan being the Puerta del {Sol. "the gate of the sun," whose rays have been invisible for the last three days. The climate of Madrid and of the whole central elevated plateau of Spain is siiny ly horrible. Although Spain is one of tho mot !ou'lier!y coun- tries of Europe, the climate is prob -hiy the worst— unbearably hot in sun-in<r and col'1 -n winter: and the temperature frequently varies 30.1c-g.

This is exempli lied by the wholesale manner in which an underfed .p"cple swallow the most indigestible matter, such as vinegar, i,i, kles, and tweets,. with most of their meals—the said meals gen., r- lly consisting of the most. ungodly mixtures. Spanish cookery is a heterogeneous mass of materials seasoned with and oil, (;oN-ii %i-i: a fine a of pig-skin and tar, and a cigarette between each course.

ENGLAND IN 1921? Assuming the prophet's mantle in his three essays, "As We Are and As We May Be," the late Sir Walter Besant predicted a sweeping revolution for the twentieth century—none other Own the throwing open of the professions, the Church, the Law, thft Army, and the Navy, and Medicine, to all and sundry, so that henceforth not wealth but sheer ability should be the golden gate through which all who would might enter. The stupendous effects of this change are thus described The Democratic movement wh eh had marked the nineteenth century received its final inij ulse from this great change. Everyone knows that the House of Lords, long before the end of that century, had ceased to represent the old The old names were, tor the most part, extinct. A Cecil, a Stanley, a Howard, a Nt ville, a Bruce, iright yet be found, but by far the greater p n-t of the Peers were of yesterday. Nor couill the House be kept up at all but for new creations..They were made from rich trade or from the Law, the latter con- ferring respect and dignity upon the. House. But lawyers could no longer be made Peers. They were rough i-n manners, and they had no longer great incomes. Moreover, the nation demanded that its honours should be equally bes owed upon all those who rendered service to the State, and all were poor. Now a House of poor Lords is absurd. Equally absurd is a House of Loius all brewers. Hecce "the fall of the House of Lords was certain. In the year 1924 it was finally abolished. Not content with this, the prophet goes a step further: It temains to be told how learning, when it became the common possession of all c J ever lads, ceasc.i to be a possession by which money could be mz(,(i, xct pt I,v fore-most. Thru tho boys went back to their trades. If the FcitIl of the gcuth i. an is over, tho learning and power and culture that has belonged to the geutliyv.au now belongs to the craftsman. Thi-i, at least, must be admitted to be pure gain. For one man who read and t-udied and thought one hundred years ago, there are now a thousand. Editions of good books are now issued by a hundred thousand at a time. The Professions are still the avenues to honours. Still, as before, the men whom tho people respect are the follover-* of science, the great Advocate, the great Preacher, the great Engineer, the treat Surgeon, the great Dramatist, the great Novelist, the t'eat Poet. That the national honours no leiifer take the form of the Peerage will not, I think, at this hour, be admitted to be a subject for regret by even the staunchest Conservative.
