Labor adopted a resolution calling

In their fight, they will have behind
them considerable sentiment. But
some of these same men appear to
believe that the success of the Jap.
aness in the present war will have
no immediate sinister effect upon
the United States. They appear to
think there is no necessary irrespres.

see the japanese beat the Russians

Real Turkish Coffee.

Here is a Turkish receipt for max
ing Turkish coffee obtained in the
Syrian quarter of New York, where
the finest coffee in the world is sold
at five cents cup in restaurants
which are exact duplicates of those in
Smyrna and BEIRUT:
Put three Jumps of sugar into a
little pot, turn in the water and bbing
it to boil Then put in two tea
spoonfuls of very finely ground
Mocha coffee. AS soon as the froth
rises, lift the pot and tap the bottom
until the froth disappears. Do this
three times. Then turn the coffee into
delicate china cups, giving each cupful
a share of froth.
The coffee should be freshly roasted
and ground, and the grounds should
be so fine as to pass the palate run-
noticed. Turks always drink the
grounds, considering them, indeed, to
be the best part of a cup of coffee

French Canada's
Busy Women

The French Canadian women in the
province of Quebec are the busiest of
their sex in the world They are
miracles of industry, and yet from
morning to- night their work never
seems to be finished.
They have the breakfast ready for
the men-folk at six in the morning;
attend to the numerous children, for
the French Canadian 'habitant" al
ways has large family; give the floor
of the living-room its daily scrubbing
until it shines like new pin; put on
the soup for dinner; make the bread;
spin, weave and sew; feed the chick
ems; lend a strong hand in the field
work; keep their husbands cash and
accounts, and lead the family prayers
after the days work is done.
If we visit Madame Jeanne Baptiste
in the afternoon, we shall find her
sitting or standing at her 1oom-the
good old hand loom that has woven
the clothes of the family for genera
tons
On this loom she weaves not only
clothes, but carpets, coverlids and
blankets. To help out her small Sup
ply of fresh wool, she tears up the
old material of worn-out coats and
trousers and weaves it over again. 1t
is slow work, but when it is finished
the garments are slow to wear out.
They last more than twice as long as
those which Madame could buy in the
shops of Quebec.
At another homestead the American
tourist who goes to French Canada
in the summer may find the women
OF the house weaving, not cloth, but
sheeting of an imperishable quality.
She has made the linen herself from
the very beginning. All she asked of
her husband was that he should bring
the sheaves of flax from the field. The
breaking of it on the wooden "breze,"
the spinning and the weaving have all
been done by her own hand.
