WHY DRY TOAST rs HEALTHY.

Since most of us are very fond of
toast, but eat it sparingly, however.
because of the general impression that
it is bad for the health, it is pleasing
to find a leading medical journal point
ing out that toasted bread is really
very wholesome, even for invalids.
One thing in its favor is the fact
that it places a lighter tax on the
digestive functions than ordinary
bread, since during its preparation
some of the starch grains. of the flour
are ruptured, while some are concerted
into dextrine, which is easily soluble.
Further, the crispness of toast neces-
cftates its being completely moistened
in the mouth before it can be swallow
ed. AS a rule, therefore, toast is thor
oughly submitted to the action of the
preliminary digestive process in the
mouth.
1t is important, however, that toast
should be crisp all through, as other
wise the internal portions tend to be-
come plastic and soft, like new bread.
and like it, difficult of digestion if not
thoroughly masticated.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

When the skin is very dry it needs
a good skin food used often and plenty
of cold cream. Dry skin is usually
the result of too constant and gener-
Gus use of soap, which takes the nat
ural oil out of the skin, and diet
which lacks sufficient fatty foods.

for it's luscious crops of cherries, cur
rants, gooseberries, raspberries and
strawberries; they attain a size and a
juiciness of which we do not even
dream. They are plentiful, therefore
cheap, and all summer long they add
much to the simplicity of the national
diet.
. The Scotch housewife-like the Scotch
jam factory-puts up such jellies, mar
malades and jams as stand unexcelled

The third meal of the day in Scot
land is called tea and is served at s

nightcap lunch. for which the table

There are temperate households in
Scotland, where milk is the beverage
served at the last meal; sometimes it
is whey. If you have tasted that liquid
you can imagine why the English
cavaliers nicknamed Scottish PuritanS

In some country houses the last meal
is a steaming bowl of sowans, a
strange, sour concoction made from
what farina remains in the husks of
oats. If you would know how sowans
are made, here is graphic description
of the dish by an Englishman who
found himself lodged one night in a
Scotch croft:

TO CLEAN A PEN.

A raw potato makes the best sort of
pen cleaner, though one that must be
changed every little while, for obvious
reasons.
In some mysterious way it cleans the
most scratchy, soiled pen and makes it
as near like new as the wearing down
of the nib allows-far more than one

KNITTING mAc4INE ROMANCE.

Romance may certainly figure in many of the knitted waistcoats and gorgeous stockings worn by our un- dergraduates of today, but these have not so romantic an origin as the first of these articles produced in this country.
 For tradition has 1t that William Lee. who in the sixteenth century in vented the knitting frame on which both stockings and waistcoats were produced mechanically, was driven to this piece of ingenuity by the cruel fouting of the lady he loved who hap pened to be a stocking knftter

C r Gautier, French explorer. is authority for the statement that the Sahara Is continuously becoming drier to such an extent that the oases are pereeptibly drying up and will disap. pear altogether in a relatively short time. He quotes historic records and physical signs to show that springs were at one time more plentiful than now, and that the extent of ths patches where vegetation fourishes were much greater even 50 to 100 years ago
