there is prospect that even the cheapest
and worst whisky win have rivals in
cheapness and badness. Things are as
bad at the Cape, it would seem. from q
remark by Mr.. Merriman at Cape Town
the other day. He said the whisky sold
on the railway was bad enough to drive
anybody to drinking Cape brandy" There
is much such stuff in London and there

This would. therefore, appear to be a
good opportunity for the chancellor of the
eXchequer to introduce a measure prohib-
iting the removal of any whisky from
bond under three years. That would give
a sort of guarantee to the public that raw
poisonous whisky should not be vended.
The Canadian government gives an age
guarantee on every bottle for all whisky
in bond And there is no reason we
should not do the same. For whisky in
bulk there would only be the statutory
guarantee, but that would be something
to the good.

STOCK ON THE FARM.
No Matter How Small the Premises II
Will Pay the Owner to Keep
Hogs or Sheep.

No farm so small but there are some
wastes on it if the produce is sold direct
from the farm. 1t is impossible to raise
and sell grain and hay without losing
some portion of it which might have
been saved if live stock were kept.
The man with large farm may be
able to go on raising and selling grain
and let the wastes go, but the small
farmer cannot allow these losses.
For the small farmer horses or cattle
are out of the question as they require
too large an area for pasturage, but
with hogs or sheep the case is different.
They can be kept with profit in COM
paratively cramped quarters. Either of
these kinds of stock may be used to
make meat of grass and grain. Feed
may be sold in the shape of mutton,
wool or pork to better advantage than
in its original condition. The small
farmer should be an intensive farmer
and intensive farming is impossible
without the help of live stock or the
purchasing of large quantities of fer
tilizers which is not good farming.
The man who owns small farm and
keeps small herd of hogs or small
flock of sheep is likely to become an en-
thusiast and if this is the case the stock
kept will get much larger prices than
common stock and the profits will be in
creased.
AS a matter of fact the small farmer
with a few animals is in a position to
take the very best care of his animals
whether they are to be used for market
or are pure-breds which are to be sold
for breeders and in either case the re-
turns will be larger than they could be
where larger flocks with less care are
kept.-Farmers' Voice.

HOW TO BOIL CLOTHES.
Much Harm Is Done by Leaving Tn hem
In the Boiler Until They are
Virtually Cooked.

The purpose of boiling clothes is to
expand the fabrics by steam and thus
to loosen the dirt and allow it to drop
out; there is no good, but actual harm
derived from cooking" the clothes;
they do not require cooking" but
cleansing, and when they are cleansed
that is sufficient. Hence, within half
an hour after the water first begins
to bubble they should be Immediately
removed and plunged into clear, cold
water. While the clothes are boiling
they may be turned with aclothes-stick,
but must not be punched or lifted in
such a manner as to tear them. The
common custom in many households
of putting the second boilerful of
clothes into the boiling dirtied water
from which the first bolerful has been
taken is wholly opposed to good laun-
dry work. When the cook wishes to
keep the juice in the meat that is to be
cooked by boiling she plunges it into
boiling water. When she wishes to eX-
tract the juices and have them in the
water for soup, etc, she puts the meat
on in cold water. If you wish to get
the dirt out of the clothes instead of
driving it into the fiber, put the clothes
on in cold water, and do not allow them
to remain in the boiling water soiled
by them till they are dyed Yellow
GentlewOman.

How to Make Orange sponge.

more sugar if needed. Whisk the whites
of two fresh eggs, add them to the half

GIRL WITHOUT TALENTS.
She May Live IA Life of FuihIiment by
Making the MOST Uf Her Every
Day Qualities.

"Many a modest, unselfsh girl, who
does not regard herself as remarkable
either in mind, appearance or manner,
asks: Where is there place for girl
to-day who is not beautiful or talented,
who cannot play or paint or sing, can
not permit herself to write an essay for
a literary club, and has no ability for
lead6rship?' writes Mary Baldwin in
the Woman's Home Companion, of
1.-The Girl Without Great Gifts" For
such one the history of an everyday
girl who met fulfillment and wrought
from common material a wonderful
Gfe-fabric may be offered. She was the
plainest of a family, and as she grew to
maidenhood gave no sign of possessing
anything that would not seem possible
to the most ordinary person. Her sis
ters had each a gift But nobody eX-
pected anything great from Miss Mar
garet,' and she never dared to hope that
she could fill any place of importance
even in the smallest circle. AS is often
the case with the inconspicuous girl of
the family, she became general help
err and was called to assist and fill gaps
In the home service. She learned
through all this to get away from her
SELF and in effect said: 4 cannot do
this, but my sister can As soon as she
could accept this she was no longer a
lonely girl, but imagined that she had a
sort of partnership in the achievements
of those whom she helped. Let not be
imagined that she had never expert
enced regret that she herself had been
overlooked in the distribution of gifts:
there were bitter moments when she
suffered on account of the fact. but this
was before she had given herself wholly
TO the purpose of forgetting her loss
and helping others. AS soon as this be-
came fact she began to receive of the
blessedness of giving, and the mental
and spiritual enlargement of her COM
pensation worked itself outwardly, so
that she became very attractive per-
son. Finally the prince came, and the
slipper fitted the stay-at-home sister,
and she became a princess before
whom many hearts bowed in the SINGER
est reverence"
