The Benefit of Cooking by
 Electricity (Second prize essay by Harriet Sey, Douglas Grammar School)

Douglas Grammar School)
 My neighbor came into my house the other day and said, q wonder at you for mussing yourself so cooking with that old stove, soiling your hands with the wood and coal and your pans and kettles in such a mess. Why don't you get an up.to date electric stove like mine with no ashes or dirty soot?"
 "Tell me about it." urged.
 "Very well, l will, she said. "Of course you know that have my house fitted up with the latest electric con- trivances and have only to turn a switch which turns on the electricity and it heats up a heating coil tn the stove) which takes the place of an or dinary fire.
 "Tben proceed to do my cooking. l cook with aluminium pans and kettles and they are always bright and clear, as electricity does not give off any smoke or dust.
 In cooking breakfast use an electric percoator to make my coffee and an electric toaster for my bread. cook my bacon and eggs in a pan on top of the stove.
 "After breakfast do my baking. l time everything and wait few minutes until my oven is at the right tempera- ture as it stays at the same tempera- tnre all the time and there is no waiting for everything is ready at the right time. It is a greatimprovementou on the old way because:
 "First-With the old stove you are apt to burn the baking before it is cooked.
 "Second-You can make nice break fast rolls in the morning without any trouble) in very short time
 "Third-The stove can be left alone land need never be tended to) without any harm.
 "Fourth-It never needs to be cleaned for it never gets dirty, unless you are careless aud spill things on it.
 'Fifth-You can have fruit and batter pudding aud a joint of meat cooking in the oven while you have vegetables and potatoes boiling iu pans on top"
 "Tbat sounds very nice and easy" exclaimed, "but what about the cost?"
 "Ob, that isn't so much nowadays, only Ave cents a kilowatt for cooking" she answered.
 "I believe I'll get one," I said, and 1 bought one the very next day and found it to be all my neighbor said and more and wondered how l bad done without one for SO long.

Love Affair
Scheming Sister Fails to
Foil Dan Cupid.
By II. O. M'LACHLAN

Benjamin Dacey fussily adjusted his
necktie, craned his neck for a better
view Of the effect and then, picking up
his brush, proceeded to arrange the
thin blond hair on his head so that it
quite concealed his bald spot.
There he muttercd, somewhat re-
sentfully tossing the hair brush aside,
Il don't care what Euphemia says, l
certainly look as young as that Bud
dington boy! If l was dark complex

more apparent, but as it is Benia-

unWrlnkled face, his very blue eyes
and the youthful arrangement Of faxen
hair. His clothes fitted perfectly and
were OF q most becoming gray; a deli

picture.
When he entered the dining room his
sister Euphemia, a pale, mousey little
woman, surveyed him with a startled
glance.

look like a fool?" she demanded acidIy.
benjamin REDEEMED to the edge of
his snowy collar and drew out a chair
for Euphemia with his customary
courtesy. When they were seated op-
posite one another at the little round
table Benjamin laid his napkin across
his knee and lifted his light eyebrows
at his sister. He waited until the maid
had left the room.
And. why, Euphemia, my dear, do l
look like a fool?" he inquired pleas
antly.
Euphemia flashed an angry glance at
the blond head.

as he ate his soup.
Just like Willie Buddington," went
on Euphemia. forgetting all about her

BrierWood Roots.

Algeria is probably the only country
which i'll clearing it's land of brush
wood at the same time finds a valu-
able commercial commodity in the
roots of that same brushwood and ST.
simultaneously removes q menace to the
forests which otherwise could only be
removed at great expense. The roots
OF the bruyere, or white heather bush
erica arborea), are utilized for pipes,
and Algeria ships yearly about $780,
600 worth of this material, known as
b%rierwood, to this country. The roots
are cut into the rough forms of to-
bacco pipes, called %"ebauchons'' in
French. TO produce the required guam
tity an immense tonnage of roots is re-
CURED, because very often, owing to
cracks and other faults, only one rough
pipe is found in a fair sized root. The
industry can, however, only be carried
on where water is plentiful, as it is
necessary to keep the roots thoroughly
damp from the moment they are drawn
from the soil until they are cut into
the rough forms and boiled.-Argo-

TACT AND A SPEECH.
Why DisraeIi Changed His Mind About
Speaking In French.

SFSeN'iS III ~
In Lord Rcdesdale's "Memoirs'' there
are some stories of Lord BcaconStield.
The following is particularly character
iStic:
There was II amusing incident in
connection with the Berlin congress-.
One day it was announced that on the
morrow Lord Beaconsfield was to ad-
dress the assembled statesmen and
that he would speak in French. Lord
Odo Russell, who was q master Of
tongues, heard this with no little alarm,
for it was well known that Lord Bea-
constield's French was very much Of
the Stratford-atte-Bowe type. Lord
Ode, always clever, went to him and
adroitly turned the conversation on to
the next days conference. Lord Bea-
consteld announced his intention of
speaking.
I'm what language do you propose
to speak" asked Lord Odo.
I'm French was the answer.
~ am afraid that will be a very
great disappointment to the colleagues
said Lord Odo. You see, they know
that they have here in you the greatest
living master of English oratory, and
