It il q mistake to think TINT the act
which led to the confederation Of tho
various provinces in 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in the life Of the.
Canadian people than that of q con-

Of hearts, whose offspring il oneness OF
patriotic aim and purpose. ct course
IL would be idle TO say that the Cana
dian people are unit upon all ques-
tions of vital interest to the life and
growth of the dominion. The geo.
graphical interests of Canada are 80
varied that there must necessarily be
nt times some friction and clAshing Of
provincial needs and ambitions. This
is the case at Washington; this 10 the

One night in 1901 . little girl about
one year old waa deposited In the draw
er Of the founding hospital At Brest.
She was dressed With much finery, and
note attached to her skirts told that
her name was 9olane6, and that sha
would be reclaimed by her fatheT.
When she was 1s years old she was
cent out into the streets to sell flowers.
and. her beauty and her modesty at.
tracted many peoples good will; hut
she grew weaker and weaker, and at
last died, or, at least, II was thought 80.
According to French custom she was
buried in an open basket, and, az it was
winter and the soil was frozen, she was
laid into the grave covered only with .:
thin layer Of sand. During the night
she awoke. and. pushing the sand
away, crept out from the grave.
Not exactly understanding what had
taken place, she was not so very much
frightened; but in crossing the glade
between the cemetery and the fort;fi-
cations, she was suddenly stopped by
the cry: "Qui vive?" and, as she did
not answer, the sentinel fired, and she
fell to the ground.
Brought into the guard house. her
wound was found to be very slight, and
she soon recovered. But her singular
history, and also her great beauty had
made SO deep an impression on young
lieutenant of the garrison--Kramer-
that he. determined to be her protect
or, and sent her to one Of the most fash
ionable educational establishments IN
Paris.
During the next few years Kramer
was much tossed about by the war;
but when. In 1918, he returned to Paris,
he found Solange z full-grown womaa,
not only beautiful, but accomplished
and spirited. with no more trace Of in-
tellectual weakness or nervous fits- he
married her, and for several years the
couple lived happily in Paris.
Meanwhile Investigations were made
concerning the girl left in 1901 in the
founding hospital at Brest, and. AZ
these Investigations were made By the
Swedish ambassador, and in . some
what official manner, they attracted
some attention.
Capt. Kramer heard uboHt the i'm
quiry and sent note to the amb0ssa~
dor, and month later the amhaasador
came in state to bring Nine. Kramer .

ther, the former Marshal Bernadotte,

legation in Paris.-Pearson's Weekly.

The simplest ways Of cooking pota-
toes were formerly considered the best
and only ways Of preparing them, but
now when the housewife is anxious to
vary the family hill of fare, tllier rhomely
vegetable receives considerable atten-
tion, particularly at this time Of year.
when potatoes are not SO firm and deli
cate as early in the season. Yams, or
sweet potatoes as they are more COM
monty called, may be prepared in =
variety of ways.
To make q potato timbale. Pare eight
9ood-sized potatoes, cover them with
boiling water, and let them cook 80
minutes. Drain the water from them
and mash them smooth and light Add
three tablcspoonf,ls of butter, two Of
finely chopped parsley, some salt and
pepper, and then gradually beat into
them one cup of hot milk, aud. stirring
hard, add last three well-beHten eggs.
Butter nm oval basin and cover it thick
~ with fine crumbs. Then fill with the
prepared potato and bake in . moderate
cvens haA an h0uF. Letsthe dish stand
u few mop,epts after itcomes from the
oven, then place heated platter over
the top OF the basin, and turn them over
together. Press the tim to loosen the
sides. and lift. II gently from the tim
Lale.
A novel way Of bcking potatoes il
with sausage filling. Use large po-
tatoes and cut slice from one side IN
ZACH and = halt in size Take q small
scoop and remove part OF the inside.
Fill with sausage meat or chopped veal
and pork well seasoned may be used.
Cover the filling with the slice of potato
first cut on. Stand the potato in .
baking pan and bake in u moderate
oven.
For creamed potatoes au gratin. Put
in . saucepan one cup ofcreap or rich
milk, q small piece of butter. and salt
fnd pepper. Cut into dice half dozen
cold boiled potatoes. and when the
cream mixture has come to boil add
the potatoes. Let them boi, up once
Gnd remove from the fire. Piacen layer
Of the potatoes in q bilttered belting
dish and scatter over them some grated
cheese, and then layers of potatoes and
cheese until the dish is filled. Sprinkle
over the top layer Of crumbs and bits
of butter over all. Put the dish in a hot
oven and bake until the crumbs are
Drowned, which should be in alaput Is
minutes.
To make potato fingers. Use cold
mashed potatoes and make them into
rolls three inches long. Dip them in
melted butter and then in beaten egg,
end place them on q buttered tin. Put
them in hot oven and bake until
brown.
At . Mexican home potatoes were

Like ride, sir? Jumpup. Nothing
to pay"
The writer was taking a stroll along
the Thames embankment one fine even
ing after supper when the driver of
smart looking four wheeler pulled across
the road and hailed him thus curiously
jumped on the box beside him, and,
noticing my look of inquiry, he ex-
planned: "You see, sir, we cabbies are
not allowed to drive empty through the
Strand during this half hour just as the
theater goers are coming out. OF course
there is a dead certainty of getting
fare now if we can only manage to get
into the street. So to prevent the place
getting filled with cabs there is police
man at every side turning with strict
orders to turn us back as soon as there
are enough ON the bank.
"But no bobby in the world can stop
a man driving fare into the Strand,
and so we ask Il likely looking customer
to oblige us and jump i'll while we drive
past the constable. Once in the street,
we are pretty sure of picking up fare
before we are noticed and ordered out
again.
"Thank you, sir, very much" he
added as l alighted few doors from
the Villiers street end of the crowded
thoroughfare, land good night! Cab,
sir? Yes, sir" and he quickly drove off
with his new fare. Pearson Weekly.

His ''man' IS not a well trained ex-

Consequently there are frequent inter-
changes Of confidence between master

course of few days came her thanks
for 1.-THE bunch of immortelles so
thoughtfully if not cheeringly sent.
whereupon the nominal sender of the
funereal Offering summoned his agent,
and, with choice invective, demanded
to know why immortelles had been
taken to "a sick woman.
