FOR PICNICS.

In making UP lunch for picnickers
some form Of substantial food that can
not easily be injured in transit should
be supplied, and the most ideal article
for that purpose is Grape Nuts. This
food comes in a 15-cent package, is al
ready thoroughly cooked and can be
used either dry or with the addition of
some milk or cream.
Grape Nuts are used by some epicures
in frying fish, for they add a delightful
flavor and are naturally superior to the
ordinary crumbed crackers or corn meal
for this purpose. In addition to the con-
venience of Grape Nuts, their high nu-
tritive food value should not be lost
sight of. Price, 15 cents per package.

in the Affections of the poorest of your
subjects"
Sir Edward Russell also tells a good
story of the Bishop of London. 1t APP
pears that the bishop was travelling in
non-clerical attire but without succeed
ing in altogether shaking off the clerical
appearance, and he was taken for a we'll
! read curate by "a gentleman conspicuous
in commerce. and privately addicted to
mental cultivation" This gentleman
found his travelling companion marvel
ously well informed.
Whatever he talked about, especially in
history, was well talked of, and the talk
was full of seemingly accurate information
The gentleman became rather piqued in
fact, at the seeming omnisc:ence of the
presumable curate, and one day thought
he would try him on a certain historical
SUBJECT upon which he distinctly valued
| himself. l think it was the papacy during
the Reformation. To his amazement he
found himself mere child in the curates
hands, which heightened his wonder and
admiration. AT last ne was DESTROYS of
sending on his luggage by one route and
travelling to meet it by another, and he
found that the curate was going to travel
by the luggage route. So he asked the
curate if he would nina taking the lug
gage on and depositing it where he could
claim it, to which the curate most anna
bly, consented. But then qualms came over
the careful man of commerce. He reflect
ed to himself that he did not know who
the gentleman was, and that 1t might not
be safe to trust his portmanteau to him.
He took walk to think what he should
do. When he came back he said: by the
bye, ii never occurred TO me to ask you.
sir, but where are you a curate?" to which
the clergyman replied: Well, as a matter
of fact, l am not a curate.' Oh, said the
gentleman, you are a vicar or rector
No he said; The fact is, am not. have

was becoming somewhat nervous about his

Sir Edward Russell tells in the Liver

Queen as a crofter. He prefaces it with
the remark that one of the Queens little

words.

speaking to a gentleman of high situation,
when she said: don't like the IS

ma am? oh, because they are very bad
to their tenants; and many of their cot
tages are in a horTid state; and If anything
is done by any tenants al their own eX-
pense to improve their condition, the first
thing the IS do is to raise the rent
upon them 1t may well be supposed that
at this the gentleman who was honored
with this conversation rather smiled. He
said, well l am only glad, ma'am, that

Queens own eyes began to twinkle as he
said. Well. ma am, let me say this that
you have now complained of underles and
that is the basis and secret OF the whole

much. L can only say he added-with
