Cat-Tail Cushions.

The down used in many of the
outing pillows is from the common
Scat tails' that grow so abundantly
around the little lakes and ponds.
A big collection of these made this
summer will not be found amiss by
the city girl, who can have them
shipped back home for safe keep
ing and drying out, ready for her
to take in hand to make cushion
filings for another season.
"Milkweed" pods will furnish
a down for the smaller cushions
that will rival even that which
adorns the breast of the fluffy
gosling that is just beginning to
strut proudly about the farmyard
when the time of year for an exodus
from town comes round.
Save all the rose leaves and sweet
brier leaves that you can possibly
get your hands on and add them to
little of the "milk weed" down
to fill pillow that will have an
honored place in the library during
the chilly months that will come
when roses are rarer than they are
in June.
There is that about an abundant
pillow supply that goes straight to
the heart of the weary on a
summers day, and the hall, or
piazza, or hammock that can boast
these helps to comfort are hard
places to resist.

Fresh fruit sauces are nice with
buildings, especially the light,
spongy kinds, or they can be served
with blanc manages and do admir-
ably for the little folks, whose
digestions are soon upset with the
seeds and skins of fruit. Different
kinds of fruit can be mixed, or only
one kind may be used. In either
case the fruit should be stewed
with little water, and sugar to
taste, and be rubbed through a
sieve. If stoned fruit is used the
kernels can be added. To thicken
the sauce use little contour,
mixed to stiff paste with cold water,
and then add it to the strained fruit
juice, and boil for two minutes.
The sauce will then be fairly clear,
which would not be the case if
ordinary flour were used to thicken
it. The juice of half a lemon is an
improvement,

FRUIT RECIPES.
Various Wholesome Dainties for
Summer,

Nothing is so refreshing nor so
wholesome as fruit in the hot
weather, says the London Lady,
provided it is not eaten when
under or over ripe, and that in the
case of stoned fruit it is cooked be-
fore eating. The valuable acids
and salts that fruit contains are
great aids to the publication and
cooling of the blood, and all more
solid sweets might give way to
fruit dishes with advantage in all
menages.

After compotes, the easiest way
of serving fruit is to make a salad
of it. For this only the ripest and
finest fruit should be chosen, the
kinds be either mixed or served
separately, as preferred. A good
salad can be made with a quarter
of pound each of cherries, red
and white currants, raspberries and
strawberries. After hulling the
fruit dust it plentifully with castor
sugar and let it stand in a cool
place for some hours before serving.

Fruit salads are some times called
macedoines, but the latter term is
often used to denote jelly with fruit
set in layers inside. This is quite
an easy operation with the aid of a
little ice, but the jelly, which
should preferably be Favored with
lemon, must be quite clear, to show
the fruits through, and the latter
should be quite ripe and sound,
and be very carefully handled, so
as not to destroy the bloom.

THE END APPROACHES.

Unless all signs fail, the long-desired
destruction of the Turkish empire Is at
hand. 1t has filled many times the
cup of it's offending. Years ago it
ought to have been wiped from, the
face of the earth. The Turk is no
more fit to govern subjects, no matter
how debased they themselves may be,
than is an Apache Indian. He is as
much out of place as power In Europe
as community of anarchists would
be in an orderly state. He has not,
apparently, even the ability to learn to
be decent, or prudence enough to stop
short of the final offense for which
there is no forgiveness. The world
ought to be thankful for this; since it
is bringing upon him the fate which
otherwise the timidity and jealousy Of
the nations might have held long in
allegiance.
Nothing but dread of a quarrel
over the remains has prevented the
European powers from dismembering
Turkey long ago. England, unwilling
to remove this check from the ambi-
ton of her great enemy Russia, has
been reluctant to permit the in
Fiction of proper punishment upon the
sultan. But, at last, she is apparently
ready to move. Her ministry is i'm
PEELED irresistibly by rising tide Of
indignation among the common people

horrible series Of massacres that have
occupied the last two years in the
East, and led by Mr.. Gladstone and
other prominent Liberals, English in
dignation has grown until Lord Sails
bury dare not resist it longer, lest he
find himself out of power. 1t is now
reported that if concerted action can
not be secured. England will move
alone to deposet the infamous wretch
at Constantfnople, whose crimes are
the horror of this century It cannot
be done too soon. For every outrage
that has been perpetrated in Armenia
during the last year, it is not the Otto
man empire but England, Germany
and Russia that are responsible. On
. their hands is the stain Of innocent
blood. With their support removed
Turkey cannot live twenty-four hours
Reform from within it is hopeless to
expect. The whole Turkish race needs
the goad, the lash and the yoke of a
stern master for years before it is fit
for the slightest exercise of power. The
wretched peoples whom it has OPP
pressed need respite and help. There
is great work to be done In the
East, and more gle " to...be won by
England in taking it's leadership than
in founding a new empire in darkest
Africa The whole civilized world
watches and waits and cries: Speed the
day when the Turkish empire shall be-
come only an infamous memory.

COMPETENCE REQUIRES PREPA-
RATION

To the Editor of the Globe.
In today's issue you crfticise Mr.. Bryan for
saying that every American citizen is compe-
tent to form an opinion on the financial issues
of this campaign. Your criticism Is in some
ways just, but it seems to me that when YOU
questions that belong entirely in the domain
OF exact sciences, you are not quite fair
For instance, you refer to solar eclipses;
now no matter whose almanac you take up
you will find that all astronomical authori-
ties agree exactly as to when and where
find that these predictions have in all cases
been fulfilled
How is it with financial questions? Do we
not find that William Mckinley Secretary Car
Isle, Secretary Foster and q long line of sun
posed financial experts have not only changed
their opinions very radically within a short
time, but do we not find that such experts diff
fer constantly among themselves? How about
the men who signed or voted for the MAT
thews resolution The men who a few years
ago voted for free silver and now are strong
FOR honest money were not, even then, "bov
orators from the Platte They had given the
question a good deal of attention and then
favored paying the bonds and ali government
obligations In silver, when silver was worth
only Sc 40 cents the dollar.
IL 1t was dishonest to cheat the creditor
then, what are We to think of the principles
of these men? If 1t was honest then. why Is
1t dishonest now?
What can the workingman do IN such
case but form his own opinion7
Is Ii not also fact that the ordinary stumu
speaker, On both sides, has less knowledge of
financial questions than large numbers of the
laboring class possess?
We all know that an astronomical expert

NEW LEASE OF LIFH.
Affairs of the First Presbyterian
Church straiwhtened Ont.

The affairs Of the First Presbyte-
RAN church at Grotto and Lincoln
streets were talked over last evening
In very friendly way between the
member of the congregation and Rev
J. Paul Egbert, Of the House Of Hope
church. The pastor named has been
largely instrumental in keeping the
First church together The affairs Of
the congregation, especially it's finan-
cial matters, have been in a very I'M
satisfactory way for some time, and
not long ago the pastor of the church
resigned. The church was in debt and
unable to pay it's running expenses
Its obligations were about ST., 500, and
under this burden and the dissensfons
within, 1t looked for time az IL the
First church was doomed to have an
unhappy career for the balance of the
year at least Then the other churches
were appealed to; but the majority OF
the Presbyterian congregations in the
city were of themselves hard up, or If
not hard up, were just even. But last
night, matters looked far more promis-
Ing for the First church In the first
place, there are evidences that the diff
ferences of opinion will be done away
with under the proposed new arrange
ment DR.. Egbert begged the congre-
cation to forget all internal strife, say
Ing that house, especially a church,
divided against itself could not stand
He exorted the hearers to work and
pull together and bury all contention.
The speaker outlined a plan for the re-
organization of the church. which in
effect was for the present session, as
the governing body is called, to resign
to the congregation. Then the latter
body would Immediately elect another
session, and such members of the old
session as it saw fit, and the new board
would conduct the matters of the
church. Rev. Mr. Egbert reported
that provision had been made for the
entire debt Of the church. The Board
of Church Erection Of New York has
donated $4,000. The members of the
First church congregation have sub
scribed $4,000, and the House of Hope
congregation has pledged the balance.
1t is understood that the latter con-
tr1butors desire the reorganization of
the First church, and this will no doubt
be accomplished with the best of feel
Ing on the part of ALL The church is
without pastor, but it is a part Of
the reorganization plan to call a meet
ing of the congregation after the new
session is elected and then call a suit
able minister. DR.. Egbert's sugges-
lions were received with evident ap-
prevail by the members Of the congre-
cation, who are DESTROYS of having the
church once more established upon a
satisfactory basis. A meeting will be
held next week to further consider the
matter. During the next few weeks the
pastors of the various city Presbyte-
rian churches will take turns in fill
ing the pulpit Of the First church.

The reason why farming properly con-
Quoted yields an income even though
wheat has fallen in price, is somewhat
explained by the great gain to the far
mer from the fall in the prices Of the
articles he buys. OF how much of i'm
portance this is may be briefly explain
ed here. In 1873 it took 1894 bushels
OF wheat to buy seventeen different
KINDS Of farming implements (such az
plows, mowers, binders scythes, etc),
and In 1889 1t took only 1881 bushels
of wheat to buy the same articles That
is, even though wheat had fallen in
price, implements had fallen still more.
But how about corn and oats? In
1873 1t required 1881 bushels of corn
To buy these implements, as against
only 1857 in 1889. OF oats, 5048.2 bushels
IN 1913 bought them, as against only
1877 in 1889. Moreover. since 1873.

1871 per cent; metals 35 per cent; lumber
nearly 20 per cent; drugs 81 per cent;
house furnishing goods II per cent AS
compared with every other farm prod
uct except wheat, the goods of the far
mer's consumption have fallen so con-
siderably as to give him decided adj
vantage over 1873.
1t remains true that poor farmers,
like poor business men, fail; while good
farmers, like good business men, pros

bad judgment, from dangerous specu-
lation, or from inefficient methods, 1t Is
not likely that silver will improve their
brains. They will stand, relatively to

on gold standard. just where they
stand now. Top-dressing all meadows
with silver dollars is not the intention
of the mine-owners who own the dollars
after they are minted.
