Queensland. South Australia, and
shout 1900 islands - including the
Isle of Man, Pitcairn's, Tasmania,

there is woman suffrage OF some sort
and degree. Mr.. Hamilton Wilcox,
in little pamphlet entitled Free.
doom's Conquests," has compiled the
the data with great care which show
that some form of woman suffrage
exists in 100 States, Territories and
provinces in every part of the world.
These cover an area of nearly fifteen
million square miles, with an aggre-
gate population of nearly three hun.
dred million souls-a population as
great a. that of North America, South
America, and Africa combined, and
nearly as great as that of all Europe.
The presentation is impressive and
instructive, snd it is doubtful if either
the friends or foes Of the womans
suffrage movement were before aware
how large an area had been invaded
by these ideas.

THE MIDNIGHT SIN.
A Graphic Description or This
Reamtiful Scene.


To us who have never seen it there
is feeling of subdued awe in think
ing about the sun that never sets,
away up in the frozen regions of the
north. Whist it is in reality may be in
ferred from the following beautiful
description of the midnight sun, taken
from that very interesting volume, a
Jubilee Jaunt to Norway" Imagine
yourself in ship at anchor looking
west or straight in a~front OF you.
There is broad expense of sea little
to your right hand, behind you will
be the rugged coast, and to your left
the long narrow ford between the
islands and the mainland that the
steamer had just traversed. You
watch the sun as itsslowly, slowly sets;
the islands and the coast look like q
dark rich purple, and the shadows cast
by the ships masts grow larger and
larger.
After bit, when the sun had sunk
apparently twelve feet from the hor;-
zon, it stops and seems to remain sta
tionary for about 20 minutes. Then
the very sea-gulls hide away, while
the air all of suddent strikes chilly.
Each one has an awed, expectant
feeling. Soon the sun rises very
slowly once again, the yellow clouds
change with his uprising to even
greater beauty, frat to the palest
primrose and then to a blush pink
The sky, which was just now rose
color, becomes gray, then pale emerald
green and lastly blue Rock after
rock stands out, caught by the suns
bright rays, and the reign Of day has
begun once m 1re.

Review the Following Reccipcs.

For nourishing soup, put two
pounds of lean veal or beef and a
quarter of pound of barley into a
quart of water, let boil slowly until it
is the consistency of cream; season
with salt, and add little celery or
celery seed When done, strain
through fine sieve and serve: do not
prepare an abundant supply, as this
soup will keep but one day.
To prepare chicken broth, take an
old fowl and stew it to pieces with a
couple of onions; season lightly with
pepper and salt, then skim and strain
it. Another nice broth is made by
cutting small pound of mutton or
chicken and boiling unsalted in a quart
Of water; keep it closely covered until
the meat falls to pieces, then strain
out and add one tablespoon of rice or
barley Soaked in a very little warm
water); let it simmer onehaif hour,
stirring often. Add salt and pepper
and little chopped parsley, stir in
four tablespoons of milk, simmer five
minutes, taking care it does not burn:
serve with crackers.
For Cruel mix two spoonfuls Of oat-
meal very smooth in little water,
and put it gradually into three .fourths
of pint Of milk or water; add little
lemon peel and half a blade of mace;
set over the Ire for about fifteen min
utes, stirring constantly. Strain it
and add sugar to taste
Eggs are often relIshed by the sick,
when other food is nausea:ing. A
nice way to serve them is the follow
ing: Break one egg, putting the white
in a saucer and the yoke in the tum-
bier; and two teaspoons Of granulated
sugar to the yolk and beat until it is
perfectly light; the white is beaten
stiff then stirred into the yolk. 1t
should be eaten with spoon as soon
as it is beaten. Eggs prepared in
this way are soothing and strengthening
to the weak. Soft boiled eggs are
easily digested and are good nourish-
ing food; oil common heavy teacup
with boiling water, and let stand sew
erai minutes, until the cup is thor
ouglily heated; pour off the water.
place the egg in the cup, and again fill
it with boiling water. Set the cup
away from the stove. and by the time
the water cools the esg will be cooked
to nice softuess.
To make waters take equal parts of
oatmeal and water. mix, and spreud
very thin on the bottom of pan, so
thin that when done it will not be
thicker than the blade of knife, and

Bake very slowly, watching that it
does not scorch. These waters are
excellent for invalids, and are quite
relief from SO much Cruel.
Take the breast Of chicken or quail
and broil over a brisk fire, turning
often. When done remove the burned
parts, if any, and season very lightly
with butter, pepper and salt.

Never ask patient if he would like
this or that to eat or drink, but pre-
pare the delicacies and present them
in the most tempting way. Prepare
the food yourself, and where the in

his food much more if he does not
witness the preparation.

The Large Brown specie and the
Black.

Black.
The black and brown rats are par
ticulary deserving of notice, and are
the most widely distributed over the
world, according to a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle. 1t is not
known where or how they were intro
duced into Europe first, but it must
have been in recent times, as the an
clents did not know them.
They both appear to be natives Of
the central part Of Asia. The brown
rat found its way to Europe in
the beginning Of the eighteenth
century, and reached Britain and
the western countries Of Europe
about the middle of that epoch. The
Jacobites of Britain had the motion
that they came with the house of Han.
over, as they appeared about that time,
and therefore chose to call them the
Hanoverian rat. They are sometimes
erroneously called the Norway rat.
The brown rat Is larger and more
powerful than the black rat, and they
are deadly foes. The brown rat has
succeeded III causing an almost total
disappearance of the black rat in places
where it was very numerous. Accord
ing to Mr.. Rodewell's theory, the
manner in which the brown rat has
supplanted its black foe is by love in
stead Of war. The browns being the
stronger, carry off the females of the
blacks by force, and thus he accounts
for the curious kind of particolered
offspring which may be found in
France. These rats infest ships, and
so are carried to the most distant
parts of the world, some of them get
ting ashore at every port and estab
fishing new colonies. The black rat is
nearly seven inches long, and the
brown grows to be ten inches, with
tail eight inches long. Both species
are extremely prolific, producing from
ten to fourteen at birth. When
they are pressed by hunger they do
not hesitate to devour the weaker of
their kind.
The rats never-failing appetite is
especially useful in devouring animal
and vegetable substances, the putre-
faction of which would otherwise be
productive of prestilence. 1t is said
tha. the visits of the plague to Western
Europe and Britain have ceased from
the time when rats became plentiful.
Their sense Of smell is very acute,
so much so that rat-catchers are care
full to glove their hands when setting
their traps. The professional rat
catcher in England wears brass image
of a rat as sign Of his business. The
ways and means Of catching them are
u professional secret. They procure
them alive and sell them to ratpit
keepers. These pit-keepers have
sort of hole where they let the rats
loose and dogs are set on them.
Crowds of boys and men pay to see
this cruel sport. The skin of rats is
made into gloves in Paris, and in
Siberia there is a field mouse that
stores up such quantities of dried roots
ard other food to last through the
long winter of that country that half
starved people there huat their nests
and carry off most of the food for
their own use.
A troop Of trained rats were exhib-
tied some time ago, dressed like men
and women. They walked on their
hind legs and went through sort Of
play, one act Of which was to hang a
