COTTAGE CHEESE.

Cottage cheese is so easily made at home when there Is sufficient milk that it is pity more housekeepers do not make it an item on the bill of fare. It requires merely standing On the back of the stove the painful of sour milk until the watery fluid or whey rises to the top; then cover a sieve with a clean cloth, pour the whey and curds upon it, knot the ends of the cloth to form bag and hang where the whey can drip out for two hours or more. When the dripping cease S, turn the curds into a bowl, add lit tie salt, a tablespoonful of butter and a little sweet cream, if convenient, stirring the whole together wiht a fork Make into little balls and keep wrapped in clean cheesecIoth in cool place. Onions, olives or sage may be added to the cheese at serving time. A spoonful of sweet cream is a great improvement.
 For scalloped cheese, cut slices of bread, trimming off the crust; butter and put a layer in the casserole or earthenware baking dish. sprinkle with grated dairy cheese and a little salt and pepper. Repeat until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of grated cheese. Beat four eggs with three cupfuIs of milk and pour over, then bake brown in a hot oven and serve hot

A WHITE MANS COUNTRY.

The press of the south is elated over the advance in population made by the white race<south of Mason and Dfxcn's line. in the past three decades. The Richmond Times Despatch, upon this exhibit of more rapid increase says:
 -In 1880 the white population of the south was 10.555.427 and the negro population or the same territory se53.eO5, while in 1910 the whites numbered 20,547.5T3 and the negroes SITS, ,3se- In 1Ss0s the whites made up ss.s per cent of the south's population and the negroes 3e per cent. In 1910 the whites constituted .6s9 per cent, and the negroes 29-s per cent of the people of the south In the thirty years the whites have increased s4T per cent. or nearly 10000 0o0 souls, and the negroes have increased only 45-s per cent, or 2,795. .4s7.''
 The Macon Telegraph thoughtfully inquires- If in three decades the south's white population has grown at a rate more than twice the negro's, what further great changes in the rel ative proportion of the races may not be locked for when the tide of immi- grafton turns our way2 More than ever We realize ours is getting to be indeed a white mans country"

Q.-Accordinq to the statistics com piled by the U. s. Government census bureau, there are something over 245 different religious denominations in this country today. Which one of these did Christ refer to when He said Upon this rock ! will build My church: and the gates of hell shall not prevsiI against t?"-Matthew xvi 18.
 When did Christ establish this church? c. A. e..
 Answer.-Our Lord Jesus is the Head of the church, which is His Body. The church was organized or "esta biished' on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon His followers who were gathered together at Jerusalem. From that time on the church has been in existence and in process of development and the gates of hell cannot prevail against II. his church is being made LID of an elect class=the .-saintss.-uho are being gathered out of all classes and oenoEllnati ions. These are the ones referred to in the Scriptures as having their ma mes enrolled in the Lambs book of life (Revelation iii. k. xxf:2D and not necessarily in some one particular church book Doubt less, there are some of the saintIy fol- lowers of Christ in all of the various denominations. and these when all gathered out and associated with the Lord in the glories of the Heavenly Kingdom. will constitute the Bride. the Church of Christ

 There does not appear to be much competition between the big cities for the republican convention As cen tral and conveniently located city. Chicago has had the republican con tention six times, and it is thought this may be the reason there is so lit tie striving among the cities to cap ture it

 Both Baltimore and Philadelphia are hoping to get the democratic na- tions1 convention, if Woodrow Wilson is to be the presidential candidate The Philadelphia Bulletin. in bidding for the national meeting, says;
 Woodrow Wilson is citizen Of state which is separated from Phila delphia by only the width of river. and which may be a highly debatable one in event of his nomination. A large part of New Jersey. reaching almost up to Governor Wilson's home, comes within what may be called the metropolitan sphere of Philadelphia or its influence. and. therefore, conten ton as to the local advantage of a great national convention in stimulat ing the spirit and the enthusiasm of the party in a particular city or state could be as pluasibly cracked up for Phfla aeelphia as for any other city"

 Most women have experienced great inconvenience and considerable loss of temper in diving to the bottom T the huge handbags of today in scar Il of fugitive nickels and dimes. Even when small change is kept in a purse it is sometimes difficult to find it in the melee of small articles that fills the average bag novelty that does away with hurried hunting and wasted mo ments is a ready change handbag of leather.
 To all outward appearances this new style of bag is sir1ila- to ordinary types but Hftss he'd at one side of the frame cn the inner side of the bag. it has larre coin holding device of the spring clamp. seIf-feeding variety. made wholly of metal nd-hinged on to the frame. making it readily accessi- ble
 The coin holder extends the inner length of the frame and provides in dividual compartments each for pen nies dimes. nickels. quarters and haE dollars.
 The advantage of such an arrange ment is that the owner of the bag without having to open a separate purse, can readily remove the coin of the desired denomination. The holder will accommodate about three coins of each kind, making il possible for a woman to carry from $2-50 to s or more in change.

 days seen touch of some brilliant contrasting color, gray is gray through out Color it must not have, but if it seeks more light or lustre silver can be used in any quantity. for silver is a sort of glorified gray and in all it's brightness it remains neutral and true to the character of gray. At one of the most successful plays of the sea son is seen a lovely little dance dress of gray chiffon It is high waisted and tied with a silver tasseIed ceinture. The skirt is embroidered in silver beads and in a design extending up s far as the knee. and from the bot tom edge of the skirt hangs silver fringe that whisl<s about over the most adorable high heeled silver slippers.

SURPRISING UNNECESSARY
 NOISES.

The Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noises is doing good and necessary work. Several years ago in the interest of the sick and injured they proceeded to establish hospital zones within which such good work was done for the comfort of unfortu- mates, that the work has spread from city to city until every large city pro- vides for quietness near these insti- tutions
 Now they are inaugurating quiet zones for schools in which 14,000 teachers are deeply interested.
 One teacher wrote:
 Tt is no exaggeration to say that the noise robs class and teachers of 25 per cent of their time The work of both pupils and teachers would be increased in efficiency and made easy bx anything that would tend to re- duce the din.''
 In certain school it was reported that four teachers were spending most of their salary for throat and ear treatment while vocal paralysis was complained of in another.
 From Washington, department of the interior, bureau of education, game to the society one of the first letters of cornmendation:
 T most heartily approve your eff forts to secure better conditions in schoolrooms for study and for the health of the children Childhood is a most important period of life, and in fluences of that period are most last ing It is astonishing that people will build schoolhouses, maintain schools. and send their children to them at great cost-and take so little care to make conditions such as to secure the best results. It would add very largely to the effectiveness of the public schools in all our cities if in some way they could be placed in a quiet zone. I wish you the greatest possible success
 This looking after the comfort of the children. which really is promotive of health, recommends it to all who are engaged in the work of teaching the rising generation.
