We see wo- men rise in the morning. and start the day's work, and if they have a hundred things to do, and ninety-nine can wait, they do every last one before they do the one that cannot wait. They spend their lives in a rush from dawn till midnight, when a liltle concentrated thought would bring order out of the dire, heart- breaking ,confusion. Too many house- keepers spend their llvcs chasing time. Every thing goes wrongâ€"every thing is in a slew.

New England Fried Piesâ€"Those who kinds of advertised remediesâ€" have eaten the old-fashioned New Eng- land fried pies may be glad to know a tried and trua recipe for making them. Originally they were only made with dried apple sauce or mincemeat as a fill- ing, but in these days jam, marmalade, jelly, or fresh apple sauce cooked quite stiff are used. For the crust for twelve pies use 3 cups flour sifted with 4 level teaspoons baking powder and a little salt. Beat 1 egg very light, add % cup of sugar, )5 cup sweet milk and 1 tea- spoon melted shortening. Mix all to- gether and roll out a little thicker than ordinary pie crust. Cut out the size of a saucer, place a spoonful of filling on one half and fold the other ball over, fastening the edges together firme or they will separate when the dough be- gins to rise in frying. Fry in hot lard like doughnuts, drain on brown paper. . . MIND IN HOUSEVVORK. Ono often meets a woman with a dogged determination to delve inces- santly, who believes that the same old laborious way to do things is best, be- oausc “mother did it,” says Ruth Flet- cher. She is scandalized when one speaks of sitting down to wash and wipe the dishes or to prepare vegetables for the stove. To this class I extend pity; to the large majority who are will- ing to profit by new methods. I offer different ways of saving time and strength. The first thing to do is to marshal onc‘s duties all in line, and decide which can best wait to be performed. Farmers ought to have their meals at regular hours, and if we work our brains a little it saves no end of manual labor. Don’t let any outside duty interfere with getting the good man's breakfast. It will simplify matters wonderfully if you have made some preparations for break- fast the night before. Housekeepers should reduce this thing to a soicnce. 1 get his opinion.

This caution is to be remembered whether the water is to be boiled or not. Dishcloths must be washed after using if they are to be kept sweet and nice. First wash in a lather 'of soap and water, then rinse in clean hot water and hang out to dry. One of the nicest kinds of dishcloths is made-of knitted soft cotton. which will wash again and again and look as good as new. Another excellent dishcloth is made of a neatly-hemmed square of the coarse crash used for roller towels: its great merit lies in the case with which it can be kept clean.

A busy knitter, who was annoyed at the way her ball of wool would roll away from her and become the play- lhing of the kitten, pondered long upon ways and means to avoid these vexe- tions. One day, it suddenly occurred to her to take a safety pin, and fasten a small paper grocery bag firmly to her side as she sat at work, and to drop her ball into the bag. The scheme worked to a charm; and she cordially recom- mends it to her friends‘and other devo- tees of the twinkling needles. .__.____+.__.._â€". PilllTlCS Ill ENGLAND SOME \VAYS ..OI“ TREATING THE CHRONIC HECKLER. Instances of Rapid Relorts at Public Meetings Given by British Statesman. The best way to treat a heckler at a political meeting is undoubtedly to hu- nior him, not in the sense of tempting him to continue his pursuit, but in that of reducing him to silence by a witty sally, a course that rarely fails to find favor with the other members of the au- dience, says London Tit-Bits. 'lhcre are oc‘casions, of course, on which the candidate finds himself in hopeless dilliculties when seeking for a retort. For instance, some years ago Mr. Willis was crating at the top of his voice in a most strenuous man- ner. and he happened to use the well worn phrase from “David Copperfield," “Barkis is willin’," when a man in the back of the hall bowled out. “No, Willis is barkin’," the laugh being against the politician. One is bound to admit, however, that the ready wilted candidate has frequent- ly extricated himself from a desperate situation in the most triumphant inan- ncr when other men would have been COVERED \NlTH CONFUSION. When Charles Burleigh, the Aboli- tionist, was called upon to answer a cowardly and despicable “rotten egg“ heckler, he did so by calmly remarking as be wiped his face: “This is a strikâ€" ii‘i’g evidence of what I have always maintained, that pro-slavery arguments are unsound." The late Sir Henry llavelock-Allan got over the difficulty by fixing his eyes on the spot whence the almost winged messenger had been projected into space, and remarking, with just the slightest indication of disgust, “I say, my friend, the hen that laid that egg had a very bad breath." It is a strange circumstance ll.iit whereas candidates can perpetrate irri. table herds of “bulls” without excuing the retort uncourteous from the heckler, the same individual regards ii quota- tion delivered in a language other than his own with feelings sinniar in th cu entertained by another species, of bull when a red rag comes within his range 0' vision. When at the general election of 1000 the chairman of an overflow meeting at Burnlcy remarked that many of our l-rave soldiers were sent to the front “without a pair of trousers to their backs" his remark failed to bring forth a comment from the heckler, while a statement of a platform speaker at Chip- ping Norton, about the samc time, to that the Unionist candidate had “laid down his life for his country, and expected to be returned by a large majority," was received with TUMULTUOUS APPLAUSE. “Why such remarks as these should not be commented upon, when so many others, for less provocative of interpo- lation, should be seized upon, it is diffi- cult to say; but there are occasions, such as that upon which Sir LeWis Molesworth informed the electorate of Bodmin that “Home Rule is only dead so long as we «keep it alive," when the nature of the remark temporarily de- piivcs the heckler of his breathing ca- pacit y. . With regard to the foreign quotation interpolation, probably no more effecâ€" tive way of dealing with it could be de- vised than that resorted to recently at a trans-Atlantic political meeting, when Mr. J. H. l-lawthornthwaito, a Lanca- shire-born man, though a member cf the British Columbian Legislature. in- nocently let drop a Latin quotation, with the usual result that lie was ad- monished to “talk to us in a language ___._â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"-â€"°‘â€"â€"'â€".__ of butter, and the labor is much less. house clean. .

W“â€" wc can understand," whereupon, with- out a moment’s hesitation, he turned to the heckler and made the hall re~ sound to a stcntorian cry of “fleeâ€"haw- Ilec-hawl” When the convulsion of laughter had subsided, the speaker completed his adversary’s discomf‘iturc by quietly adding, “I regard it as a duty to oblige my friends to the best of my ability." retort Although the Sledgehammer is very effective in quelling the contu- macious heckler, it can scarcely be ex- pected to earn the vote of the victim, whereas the gentle answer that turneih away wrath undoubtedly has that pleasing effect at times. The Right lion. John Morley is one of the few po- litical speakers who can quell a heckler with a smiling retort as effectively as the famous Campbell, of Monzie, who, when he asked an Edinburgh burgess to vote for him and received the angry answer, “Vote for you! l’d sooner vote for Satan himsel‘," sweetly replied, “Yes. but if yourfricnd doesn't stand, may I depend upon your support?” a remark that earned him A STAUNCI-I ADHERENT. A short time ago, when Mr. Morley was speaking at Montrose, a heckler demanded permission to put an import- ant question to the right honorable gen- tleman, that turned out to be, “Why doesn’t he play golf?” in answer to which the sitting member probably re- tcrted, “I don’t think I’m old enough to begin yet," a statement that excited much hilarity, and put the audience on excellent terms with the speaker. That success, however, does not al- ways rest with the candidate was clear- ly indicated when Mr. J. Balfour lrownc, K. C., was recently speaking ii. Dumfriesshire and an elector rc- morked: “Had we not better utilize our own resources to the full allowing lu- bor and capital free access to the land of our own country instead of attempt- ing to bolster up certain industries at the expense of others?" Said the candidate, with emphasis: “I do not follow the question. It sounds like a question taken from a book on political economy, the author of which did not know much.” Then did the heckler lift up his voice a second time and remark: “It is taken from your own valuable book, Mr. Browne, on fiscal reform. The situation in which Mr. Browne lfound himself was not, perhaps, parti~ cularly desirable, but it might have been worse. Candidates will recall with a shudder, for instance, that terrible moment when a speaker. wishing to emphasize his strict regard for , the both, remarked that in his youth he had been thrashed for telling it, when from the back of the hall was waited through the atmosphere the cuttinu comlrnent, “I guess it's cured yer, guy’- nor ” W EVERY PLACE (IN THE PRAIRIES ITS CURES CREDITED 'l'O DODD’S KIDNEY PILLSf HAS .â€"â€"u John White Could get Nothing to Help Ills Rheumatism Till He Tried the Great Canadian Kidney Remedy.

The router, the young farmer with very limited small capital, and the farmer with a number of sons for whom he wishes to secure farms, are the people who should write us as quickly as they read this notice. We can settle you in the great wheat-belt of Manitoba or the other Provinces of Western Canada, and give you such a chance as we confident- ly believe has never before been offer- ed to settlers in any new country. 'Our lands are the choicest, and situ- ated in the best tried and the best set- tled farming and wheat-raising dis- tricts, and our plans are such as will surprise you by reason of their fairness and helpfulness. A man with a few hundred dollars and with health and energy, by adopting one of them, can in a very short time be well-to-do. The ordinary settler coming here has to break his land and backsct it the first year, and therefore does not secure any return from the land until the harvest of the following year is reaped. Under our plans, the settler will begin ’to have an income from the start, and at the same time will be going on getting ready his land for crooning. If you in- tend coming to Western Canada to farm. we can thus put you in the way of helping yourself from' the first day that you arrive here, and thus of being independent. We want one thousand settlers for the spring of 1906. Our lands have been all very careful- ly selected, and we guarantee the re- ports of our examiners on the same. No person need apply whose habits are not good, and who is not able to produce first-class references as to his character and industry.

The Changes That May Arise in Great , Britain. .The change of Ministry in England is likely to have its effects in court circles but the probabilities are that only lhd Mistress of the Robes will go outof office with the Ministry. In the case of a queen consort, however, even this change may not take place. Queen Victoria had a very bitter experience is a girl-Queen when she was obliged to part with her Ladies on a change of Ministry. The rank of duchess is not absolutely necessary for the position of Mistress of the Robes, but it was never held in Queen Victoria’s reign by a lady of lesser degree, and there are duchesses on the Liberal side, none, however, also in favor of Home Rule: if it be necessary for the Mistress of the Robes to see eye to eye politically with the Ministry there may be a deadlock. The idea of chang~ ing was, however, adopted because i'. was feared that the Mistress of the Robes might-use her influence with the Queen politically. In the case of a Queen Consort this would not apply. ’ On the other hand, the position is a coveted one, and to an extent the gift of it is a privilege of the Government although the appointment must be sancz tioned by the Queen. I 'Ihero. are others among the Ladies- m-Waitmg in which we as Canadians may be interested. The Queen has up- pomted tho Marchicncss of Lansdowne as Lady of the Bedchainber, instead cf the. Dowager Countess of Lytton, who rcSigned; and among the new Maids of Honorun-Waiting is the Hon. Margaret Downer. whose mother is sister to ’Earl Grey and Lady Minto. _______,_.~_. g MADE \VHILE GROWING. l Oriental gardeners are adopts at their work, the most striking production ..I one‘of their number being a natural arm- chair, iu which the required shape was attained during the growth of a vine. Almost from its first appearance the vind had been carefully treated in anticipa- tion of the use to which it was to be put. By the time it attained full growth it was formed into a rustic arm-chair. All of the joints were made by grafting, so that the chair is practically in one solid piece, and after it had attained a growth of_some_3 feet it was cut and thoroughly dried. Finally it was polished, the wood taking a finish not unlike mahogany. " t. I). . i, It x... -7- a, -‘, é
