one Tablespoonful of salt for fifteenl
ninutes then drain and gently SHINES
in enough boiling water to cover them
for ten minutes Drain again and cnop
fine; then turn into a frying pan WIN
two ta~blespoonfuls of hot butter and
one cup of hot tomatoes. Add two
shakes of pepper. Make ar omelet,
spread with the brains, fold over and
serve.
Oyster Cromeskies.-Scald the oysters
in their own liquor over a quick ire.
When plump wrap each oyster, IL
large, or in pairs if small, in a slice OF
bacon and skewer with a wooden
toothpick. Sante a nice brown in the
frying pan or cook in a double broiler
ir a hot oven. Serve at once on thin
rounds of toast.
Potato Fillets.-Pare and slice the
potato thin; cut them in small illets
keep in ice water until wanted; dry
thoroughly, then drop into boiling lard
until nearly done. Remove them with
about one-quarter of an nch square,
a skinner and drain; boil up the lard
again, drop the potatoes back and fry
till done. This operation causes them
to swell up and puff.
Cream Tomato Salad.-Do not be
afraid to try this unusual combination.
The recipe is Marion Harland's, and II
is delicious. Loosen the skins OF large,
,ipc tomatoes with boiling water, strip
off quickly and set or ice several hours.
When serving cut each in half, dust
slightly with salt and paprica (amount
is too small to measure); lay on a cold
plate, rubbe with garlic n heap a
large spoonful of whipped cream upon
it Try fine whole canned tomatoes
when the fresh ones cannot be pro-
cured.

cup of milk. Pour these gradually
| through a sieve into the boiling soup;
add one teasponful of salt and four
dashes pepper. Croutons, vermicelli.
Italian pastes or rice may be added If
desired.
Boiled Mackerel.-Soak the salt fish
over night skin side uppermost. Next
morning drain and simmer slowly in
sufficient water to cover for 20 min
utes. Mix together one tablespoonful
each of butter, finely minced parsley
and lemon juice. Spread over the
tot fish n serve at once.
To Clean Windows in Cold Weather.
Take alcohol and whiting; wood alco-
hol will answer every purpose, and is
much less expensive. Dampen the
cloth but do not wet 1t with alcohol,
then dip it into the whiting and rub the
glass as you would if using soap and
water. Polish with chamois. Windows
polished in this way will shine and
keep longer than with the old method
of washing, rinsing, wiping and polish

Plains of Abraham in Danger

The historic battlefield close to Que.

generals of the opposing forces in the
struggle for Canada, Wolf and Mont

some danger Of seizure at the hands Of
that ubiquitous vandal, the speculative
builder. The lease by which the gov
eminent holds the site is nearing its
expiration, and 1t is feared that the
actual owners, the nuns Of the Hotel

handsome proposals of Buggins. the
builder. Such a Dissertation Of an

Incredible. The government Of the Do

oharlemagne's Love of Learning.

CharIemagne's Love of Learning.
More than to any other monarch we
owe to Charlemange (768-S14) the fact
that the precious literary Inheritance
Of Greece and Rome was not lost. Him.
self imperfectly educated, he valued
education in others and furthered 1t
with all his might. The impulse he
ave to classical studies resulted In
some Of the best manuscripts; In his
reign. too, the clear "minuscule" of the
Irish scribes was substituted for the
uncouth Langobardic characters. He
also paid special attention to the ARE
ful editing of the prayer books. His
establishment Of an academy In his
palace is well known; what is not SO
well known Is the fact that this fol-
lowed by schools under his patronage
at Wurzburg, Fulda, Utrecht, Tours,
and elsewhere. He also began to COM
pose a grammar Of his native speech.
