RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WILD.
Something Hard to Define, but All
& Lovers Of Nature Will Have knoWl-
y edge Of What 1t Means.

The wild! What is that that it
should so impress the heart of man;
that it should have lured me all the
days of my life, like music, a solace
and an enchantment? 1t is beautiful
in its way, as in a very different way
cultivation is beautiful, but this alone
does not explain its influence. There
is a; spirit Of the wild, with which the
spirit of man acknowledges a relation-.
ship as old as the race; and if the con-
ditions Of his evolution from primitive
man have, in the course Of ages, sep
sarated him farther and farther from
that original affinity with nature and
made him wanderer from the father
land, that bond will never become
wholly a thing Of the past. It still
haunts and will haunt-a dim, mex
&plicable, subconscious memory of a
long buried past. 1t is natural, then,
that in the presence OF any bit OF
wild landscape, or a patch of: virgin
forest, some minds should experience
with thrill half return to an origi-
nal statewith 9 thrill. indeed. There
is a wilderness motif heard in an in.

heard the Valhalla motif. 1t rules
their stars, as might the wanderlust

Difference In Unit Of Values Between
81 Belgium and Holland 10 a Puzzle
Us AZ, to the Traveller. s.$ SS lt

There are good many mysteries Of
money. and tariffs, and the wayfarer
through life is often puzzled. Why is
it that in the little step from Belgium
to Holland your whole financial out
look on life is altered? They live close
together, the Dutch and the Belgians.
But in coinage they are far apart. Bel
GUM thinks in francs. Holland thinks
in forms. And when you step from
the one; little country to the other you
find they are thinking the same thing.
Goods in terms OF money.
n You have but to cross the frontier
between these small countries to find
the difference: Belgium lives on
francs, Holland reckons in forms, and
the amazing thing is that every one
across the frontier win pay about
twice as much for the mere luxury of
taking the form as a unit instead Of
q franc. y Now I should like to know
what is the economical reason OF this.
says writer in the London Chronicle.
For Belgians and Hollanders appear
equally prosperous. And the Hollander
lives on the form, while the Belgian
lives on the franc. The Englishman
who crosses the frontier finds the ex-i
traordinary difference when he
changes his sovereign. .5@

COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN
Even Experienced n Housewife May

5 Value to Her. wv III $ss

500 MI u.
Il Different terms are properly used
for different methods of combining IN.
gradients in cooking. as any one who
has handled cook book very much
must know. But everyone who has
tried to cook does not know just what
these various terms signify. Stirring
is one thing, beating is another, fold
ing and cutting are yet others-that,
We all know. But what are they?
Stirring is effected with a circular
motion, widening from the center.
That is the technical description.
Beating is the operation which In.
closes air in the ingredients beaten.
This can be done in any way that sep
arates the particles of the ingredients
one from another and SO lets in the
air. ;sts i u, 5f-g p
Folding Is the term applied to the
motion which prevents the air already
Enclosed from escaping and at the
same time mixes the ingredients con-
cerned.. 1t is this motion which must
be used when whipped cream. beaten
egg whites and other light and beaten
ingredients are mixed together or with
more solid masses. 5Is 3.
Cutting Is the lightest sort Of mix
ing---hardly mixing at all. Shortening
is sometimes cut into flour with q
knife. But the shortening and -four
cannot be mixed completely by cut
ting. st .5l Is Il
III Keep the meaning Of these terms In
mind when you cook according to q
recipe. Remember that an ordinary
cake you stir and beat. An omelet
you beat and fold, and you do the
same thing to a sponge cake.
