as against an average of L to 20 ex-
posed to danger for the preceding nine
years. The percentage OF accidents
is given as 81 per cent, while the cas-
ualties attributed to want of caution
or misconduct amounted to 30 per cent.
The accidents occurring on railway
premises but not in any way connected
with the operation of railway trains
resulted in 81 deaths and the injury of
11.717 persons, as compared with an
average of Sc deaths and HAS injuries
for the preceding nine years. These
casualties arose mainly from misad-
venture or pure accident. and could not
probably have been anticipated or pro-
vided against, and no remedy is sug-
gested TO prevent their recurrence. The
average number of collisions and de-
railments in Great Britain for the
twenty-five years up TO 1906 was 217.
The number fell In 1905 to 199 A col
lision or derailment occurred in the
twenty-five years referred to on the
average for every 1,50S.521 train miles
run, but in 1905 it only occurred for
every 2.014,6S9 train miles run, showing
gain of nearly "a per cent for last year
This Improvement is stated to be owing
TO the use of continuous brakes and to
unusual care and cireumspection In the
operation of trains There was a no
ticeable reduction in the number of
railway servants killed and injured In
connection with the running OF trains
in 1905 as compared with the average
for the preceding thfrty-one years
That average was IA employees killed
and 1876 injured. as against EMPLOYEES
killed and 112 injured in 1905. although
there was large increase last year in
the number of employees exposed to
risk
The average for thirty-one years
ending with 1904 was 1 passenger
killed to 34,464,S92 passengers carried.
and 1 injured to S.O23,995 passengers

Railway Accidents in Great Britain
Lead to Demand for Caution

"HE two recent serious railway
casualties in the United King
dom have led TO general de-
mand for greater caution in the
operation of trains. the use of addi-
tional safeguards and the imposition
of severer penalties for carelessness
and negligence.
In view of the number of passengers
carried however, the railway casual
ties in Great Britain are surprisingly
small. This is owing, in part. at least,
to the almost uniform absence or
grade crossings in cities. the better
protection of highway crossings in the
country, the use of tunnels and bridges
at railway stations to reach the trains.
and we'll -ballasted tracks on the less
important as well as on the great
trunk lines. The board OF trade sta
tistics for Great Britain for the year
1905 show that 1899 persons were killed
and 6459 persons injured by accidents
resulting from the operation of trains
or the movement of railway vehicles
There is a decrease of so in the number
of deaths, and of 192 in the number of
accidents. in comparison with the aver
age for the preceding nine years. Four
collisions and derailments caused all
but one of the thirty-nine deaths of
passengers due to train accidents
The number of passengers killed is
greater than in any year since 1883,
while the number of those injured is
far. below the average for many years
past Fewer passengers were killed
and more injured in 1905 than usual by
the movement of trains and railway
vehicles. as distinguished from train
accidents These casualties. 1t Is
claimed, were largely due to the care
lessness of passengers rather than to
the negligence of railway employees.
It is gratifying to learn that there was
a marked diminution in the number of
accidents to railway servants caused
by moving trains and railway vehicles,

Cheese Recipes.

A writer in the Ladies' World tells
us of several good ways to combine
cheese with other ingredients, giving
a variety of recipes. We offer several
for our hOuSekeeperS to try.
Spread thin unSweetened waters
with the cheese, mOiStened with a few
drops of lemon juice; cover this with
a sprinkling of hard-bOiled eggs and
add just a suspicion of chopped herb
parsley or your favOrite seasoning.
For SavOry salad, to serve at a
tea or late supper, take small can
of deviled ham and a small roll of
cream cheese. Mix together, add one
gill Of cream, whipped stiffly. Add
to this one gill of stock or gravy, we'll
seasoned, in which half a teaspOonful
of gelatine has been dissolved. Whip
the whole until it begins to thicken,
then turn into small mOulds. When
firm dispose ON lettuce leaves and pour
around them mayOnnaise. Serve
with olives and deviled almonds.
Cheese nuts are delicious to serve
with sandwiches or salads. Shape
cream cheese into small balls, press
half d walnut on each side. The nuts
adhere readily with a little pressure.
Set aside to chill. Arrange on a plate
with sprays of parsley.
A nice luncheon dish is made by
soaking one cupful of stale bread
crumbs in one and a half cupfuls of
cold sweet milk. Beat two eggs, add
half a teaspOOnful of salt, two table
spOOnfuls of melted butter, a teaspoon
full of finely-chOpped parsley, and one
fourth of a pound of American cheese,
cut or grated fine. Mix well, turn in
to little buttered scallOp-shells and
cook in the oven until like custard and
the tops are brown. Serve hot in the
dishes in which they are cooked.

The Hare and the Tortoise.

A hare one day made himself merry
over the slow pace of the tortoise, and
vainly bOasted of his own great speed

The tortoise took the laugh in good
part. LET us try a race" she said.
81 will run with you five miles, and

The hare agreed, and away they
started together.
The tortoise never stopped for a
moment. but logged along with a slow,
steady pace straight to the end of the
course.
But the hare, full of sport, first out
ran the tortoise, then fell behind; hav-

to prepare. Into hot, Salted water 1
put the macarOni and let it boil for
twenty minutes, then drained and put
it into buttered baking-pan with a
lump of butter, a small quantity of
milk and water, and a layer of grated
cheese spread on top. 1t needs very
little attention for the hour it is
baking in the oven, and we never tire
of it.
Then there is mock dressing or nut
loaf, or whatever one wants to call
it. Make a dressing as for turkey,
adding a generous quantity of nut
meats Make into a loaf and bake
two hours in the oven with a slow
fire, basting once in a while with but
ter and water. Used with tomato cat
sup or any of the meat sauces, this is
delicious.
Oyster fritters are much appreciated
on a cold day. Every housekeeper
knows the ordinary oyster dishes, but
the objection to them lies in the fact
that they are quite expensive. We
enjoy stews and fries often, but when
an economical spell strikes me l serve
oyster fritters. These are nothing
more nor less than plain pancakes
with double the quantity of egg the
ordinary recipe calls for and half
pint of small oysters added for six
persons. Two eggs are required for
the batter for six persons, and 1t
should be made a little stiffer than
usual as the oyster liquor will thin it
somewhat. Serve hot with butter.
For a hearty dish in summer we
use apples baked with rice and served
with real cream Even with ten cents
spent for cream, the dish is less expen-
sive than common meat, as steak or
stew. for the rice and apples cost but
little Cream is always a good sub
stitute for meat and should be used
more than it is, especially for thin,
blooded children If cream cost a
dollar bottle and had to be taken
for medicine, perhaps people would
recognize its value and use it more
freely.

Substitute for Meat.

A writer in an exchange under the
title of MY Substitutes for Meat"
says:
One value of these dishes lies in the
fact that they are SO simple. Take
macaroni and cheese, for example. 1
have frequently found nine cents
worth of this hearty dish sufficient for
four people when no meat appeared on
the table, and it is very little trouble
