KEEPS SAND FROM SHIFTING
Common Sea-Rush Employed With
Good Effect on the Shore of
Cornwall, England.

James White of Ontario. who late
ly asked London newspaper If any
one could suggest remedy for shift
ing Sand-hOw, in fact, to anchor it
has had many replies. The trouble
of drifting sand is far more common
than one would suppose. and the only
remedy suggested is to plant some
kind of tree or root that will take
firm hold and prevent the drifting. On
the banks of the Suez canal it was
found that planting various kinds of
tamarisks, mingled with the herbace-
GUS plants such as the orach or alta,
was successful In Denmark the COM
mon bramble has been used. Bengal
fir trees and other trees have pre-
vented the encroachments of the des-
ert sands driven by the wind. Those
who have seen the effect in Cornwall

the whole aspect of the fOreshore. may
be thankful that at the end of the
Eighteenth century a remedy was

"Pve been asked to tell the other
monkeys in the monkey house about
those parties we used to have, for
some Of these monkeys were not here

monkeys couldn't be at the tea parties,

to pet him and tell him how much
love him."
Then the keeper came to the Ofang
Utan's cage and opened the door, and
out came the Orang-Utan and put his
arm around the keepers neck, and the
keeper held him in his arms.
"Dear keeper" the Orang-Utan said
in his monkey way. 'how love you,
and how good you are to me. We have
our games and our fun, and we have
just nice cozy times like this when
we tell each other what good friends

And the keeper said to the orang-
Utan,

may be prepared and served cold.
The size Of the pudding depends upon
the number to be served. Take twice
as many spoonfuls of powdered sugar
as there are whites of eggs to be used,
and as many sifted prunes as sugar
for example, to four egg whites use
eight tablespoonfuls of sugar Ga half
cupfuD and one-half cupful of prunes
cooked soft and cut fine or sifted, if
preferred. Butter tube pan and bake
20 to % minutes in slow oven. Turn
out carefully and when cold serve in
slices with cream or a thin custard
sauce. OF course. the whites of the
Eggs are whipped until stiff, the sugar
added lightly, then the prunes and a
bit of flavoring.
The housewife who entertainS her
friends (and who does not enjoy that
privilege often) will find that some of
the accessories and extras for garnish-
ing and flavoring will often add to
very plain meal when company is pres
ent. A bottle of preserved ginger,
marischino cherries. capers, a glass
of shelled walnuts. cheese and bacon,
as well as dried beef in jars. olives,
both green and ripe, will help out Won
derfully. These things should be re-
placed at the first opportunity so that
they will be ready when needed.
Red French Dressing.-Take papri-
ka, one-half teaspoonful to four table
spoonfuls of oil to tint French dress
ing, either with or without chilli sauce
or tomato catsup.
Peas With Cream.-Melt two table
spoonfu!s of butter in saucepan, add
small whole onion, head of lettuce
we'll tied, small bunch of parsley,
three pints of peas, teaspoonful of salt,
and just enough water, boiling hot, to
cover the bottom of the saucepan.
Cook rapidly ten minutes, then reduce
the heat to simmering and cook an
hour. When peas are tender remove
the parsley and onion and add one
half cupful of hot cream to the sauce
pam Serve very hot on hot dishes.
