There is no article used in cookery SO

garlic. As a seasoning herb 1t is con-
sidered invaluable on the continent, and
especially in France, where 1t Is deemed
essential to many dishes. In this coun-
try its use is comparatively recent, hav-
ing been introduced by the foreign
methods OF cooking which are rapidly
growing in popularity. The great art
Of using garlic is to apply ii TO the dish
SO that it cannot be individually detect

the particular flavor desired. Each root

ounces OF garlic peeled and bruised,

MIR. GLADSTONE AND HIS GRANDSON.
Gladstone's 12-year.old grandson. William
Glynne Charles Gladstone. This young.
ster, who will inherit lands and houses
which In years to come will not only be
valuable, as they are today, but Of great
historic interest, is the constant colnpan.
ion and playfellow Of the venerable ex-
premier. He Is the son of Mr.. Gladstone's
flrstborn boy, the late William Henry
Gladstone, who died In 1891.
Mr.. Gladstone has several sons-grown
men they are and middle aged-who must
step aside and give up the estates to tho
son OF their eldest brother. Such Is the
law of primogeniture which makes it pos
sible for the landed nobility Of England
to survive. William Henry was the pride
and delight of his distinguished father.
He followed family traditions and became
prominent in politics, sitting many times
in the house of commons, and from 1880
to 1885 holding the post of lord of tho
treasury. Ec was to the OK premier what
WalEer Blaine was to his father and what
Count Herbert Bismarck is to the Iron
Chancellor. It was q cruel blow to the old
gentleman when his brilliant son died,
and he now seems to lavish all his affec-
ticn on his grandson. OF course rhis Is
precisely whit many grandfather has
done before. The result too, has been the
same, for Master Gladstone ia said to
be a spoiled child and rather hard for any
one but his grandfather, who doesn't try,
to manage.
The young fellow will probably get over
this, though, for he has good blood in his
veins, and if this counts for anything, he
will some day show some Of the brilliant
mental qualities of his father and grand
sire. His mother was daughter of Sir
Stephen Richard Glynne and Lord Bray
brooke's daughter, Mary. On his mothers
side he is descended from the Stuarts, the
family which gave a royal house to both
England and Scotland. q
The Hawarden estates were. originally
In the family of Grandmother Gladstone,
whose cousin, the present Lord Bray
brooke, married the daughter of Corn
wallis, third Viscount Hawartlen. This
Is the same CORVALLIS family whose head
once gave up his sword to George Wash
ington at Yorkville, an incident familiar
to most Americans.

Of that city. For q time she was organist

field she applied to DR.. Sheldon jackson,
the great Alaskan missionary and explorer

Dairy and Creamery.

England imports every year $4,000,
not pounds, but tons, Of cheese from
Holland. Much Of it is poor stuff, too,
used by the most poverty stricken Of
Britain's population. .
The problem Of the dairy farmer at
present is to so feed and breed his COWS
90 to produce more milk at less cost.
The promise Of the future is that in

milk daily to the creamery the dairy
farmer will have at home q cream sep
arator, either hand or small, animal

line the edges we'll with small, delicate
green ferns and with them the silver
grasses so abundant in this month.
Cover the entire ice with roses and
daisies we'll grouped together, which
form for the whole delightful scheme.
To make supper table pretty
scheme the damask should be very
fine in quality, with an edge Of lace
effect and above it. an insertion to
match. As center cloth a big square
can be given in white chrysanthemums
and green leaves, and on it large rose
bowl filled generously with blossoms Of
any tint desired. At each corner of the
board can be rose bowls Of the smallest
dimensions, in which one white rose
acts as special decoration for these
tiny affairs.
Tables for lawn parties should be
gayly decorated with good sized jugs

In arranging flowers for the table be
sure to let the stems be long ones. For
this cut glass vase, even tall one,
does excellent duty. The stems, many
times, are as beautiful in tones of green
as the blossoms.
For all everyday meals small hold
