MacauIaY,s Fifth Volume.

volumes of his History of England"

This volume is included in all the later

England" Macaulay's sister was Mrs.

Otto Trevelyan, who has written a
history of the American Revolution.
She was greatly devoted to her broth

The Longest East.

The record for fasting, so far as our
best information goes, is held by
CRANE, French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death
and from day to day after his arrest
refused TO eat.
In spite of every effort on the part
of his keepers, who first tried to tempt
him to eat by placing the most dainty
meals in his cell and when that failed
attempted feeding him by force, he
held out for sixty three days, at the
end Of which periou he died.
With the exception Of CRANES case
the longest well authenticated instance
OF fasting on record is that accomplish
ed by Giovanni Succi, who lived at the
Royal Aquarium, London. for forty
five days without food.

Some Suggestions by Members

A few articles of food have not risen
in price, at least, not much. By a lit
tie forethought and planning we may
practice economy and still be we'll
nourished. Why not be satisfied with
three meals a day and cut out the
lunches, and the habit of nibbling
sweetmeats at all times. If this is bad
for children it surely is for grown ups.
Set them an example, and remove
temptation out of their way.
One mother says, I'VE use peas in
stead of beans; they are good served
in the different ways beans are, and we
like them better"
Cranberries can be bought for 10
and IL cents; fine ones, too. Now is
the time TO make your sauce for
Thanksgiving. Try this way: Wash
berries and remove all the little sharp
stems; stew in just enough water to
cook them: if you haven't a double
boiler, put an asbestos plate under
the pan unless you wish to stir it ALT the
while. Pans are soon spoiled by hay-
ing food boiled down, and having to
be scraped. The berries should be
mashed while boiling; when well done
put through colander, sweeten to
taste. tea cup to a quart of pulp
should be about right: return to stove
and boil till quite thick: pour into
molds or glass canS-it need not be
boiling hot
| have been told of one Wausau cook.
a man, who serves excellent meals to
the men in camps, baking pies, cakes.
etc, using no eggs, and water in
stead of milk.
BY the way. has any one tried the
recipe for pancakes given in the Pilot
a short time ago? 1t recommended
stirring up the flour and warm water
with a little vinegar the night before.
We varied the plan little, placing
some stale slices of bread in the warm
water. BY the way, it was. or had
been the sour milk jar and often got
little milk. either sweet or sour
turned into it: sometimes we added
hat cake OF yeast. In the morning we
stirred in -four and soda Just before
baking. We were pleased with the
result. No eggs were used.

Strength of a Flower.

One of the most remarkable exhibit
tons of plant force / ever saw, says
John Burroughs In "The Breath of
Life" was in a western city, where
observed a. wild sunfower forcing its
way up through the asphalt pavement.
The folded and compressed leaves Of
the plant, like mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until it bulged up and split and let the
plant through. The force
exerted must have been many pounds
| think 1t doubtful if the strongest man
could have pushed his fist through such
resisting medium.
Life activities are a kind of expo
sion, and the slow continued explo-
sions Of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. 1t is doubtful If any cult
waited plant could have overcome such
odds. 1t required the force of the un-
tanned hairy plant of the plains to ac-
complish the feat.
