Household Peaches Best Fruit for Desacrt. There is perhaps no other fruit of which so many delicious frozen des- serts can be concocted as the peach. The strawberry may rise up on its vines ajid argue itself red in the face trying to prove that it holds the place given tc the peach. And in strawberry season perhaps we will all agree with it. But f.T the present let us see what claim the peach has to the place of the roost freezable fruit. To begin with, there is plain peach ice cream. One way to make it is this : Boil a pint of cream in a double boiler and when it is hot add 10 heaping teaspoonfula of ugar. Stir until the sugar is dis- solved, take from the fire, add an- other pint of cream. Cool and freeze. When you feel the dasher cranking heavily, quickly add a quart of peach pulp. Turn the dasher for five minutes more, then remove it, pack the cream, and let it ripen for two hours. Another Ice Cream Recipe. An- other way to make peach ice cream is to mix a can of condensed milk with a quart of milk, two eggs, and a quart of peach pulp. Jf the mix- ture is not bweet enough, add more sugar. Freeze, pack and ripen. Do not be worried if the inilk and peach mixture apparently curdles before it is frozen. Sometimes the arid from the peachea does curdle the milk, hut the grinding and freezing process turns it smooth again. It is because of this curdling process that the peaches are often added after the rest of the mixture is partly frozen. To prepare peach pulp, pare ripe peaches, cut them in small pieces, and press them through a vegetable press. If they are very ripe and juk-y. they can be mashed to pulp with a silver fork, but the vege- table press method is easier. Peach sherbet is made from the juicf of peaches. The syrup from canned peaches, if it is rich and full of flavor, can be substituted for juice and sugar in the following re- cipe : Boil a quart of water and a pound of granulated sugar together, udd a quart of peach juice and the juice of a lemon, and freeze. When the mixture is stiff leinove the dash- er and add the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Pack and allow it to mellow for two hours. Keep thin sherbet, like all other sherbets, well packed in ice. Sicilian Sherbet, -Sicilian shcr bet is rich and should be made of ripe and juicy peaches. To make it pare a duzoi liig peaches, stone them and rut them in small pieces with a silver spoon. Add two cup- fuls of granulated sugar and two cupfuls of orange juicr, and stir until the sugar IN thoroughly dis- solved. Then turn into a freezer and freeze. When you remove the dasher add a meringue made of a beaten epg yolk and a tablespoon- ful of powdered sugar well mixed. Pack and stand in a cool place fr two hours. For peach pudding make rk'h va- nilla ice cream. Made according to the following recipe it will be of the right consistency and flavor : Scald a quart of thin cream and a cupful of granulated sugar in a double boiler and ouol them. Add a tablespoonful of vanilla, und freeze hard. Line a mould with an inch and-a half layer of the vanilla cream and quickly fill the centre with peaches cut in cubes. Cover the top with a layer of cream and pack in ice and f/ilt fur two hours. If a .more elaborate pudding is de- sider, mix the fruit with whipped cream before putting it in the mould.

Should a child fall on the beach or elsewhere, a rag steeped in raw egg and placed on the bruise will ease the pain almost immediately. When washing pudding clothe, throw some orange peelings into the water ; this collects the grease and helps to make the cloths white and clean. To keep mosquitoes at a distance dissolve a small piece of alum ii water and sponge the face and hands with it and allow to dry. You will not be troubled with mos quitoes. During hot weather small bags ol muslin filled with charcoal should be hung in the pantry on either side of the meat. This will keep it fresh in the hottest weather. Very thin muslin goods need not be Bta'rched if ironed while still wet. They will look equally well, he quite stiff enough, and wear much longer than if starched. Searched goods when very thin are apt to tear easily. For getting rid of black beetles in the kitchen mix thoroughly to- gether equal parts of sifted sugar and plaster of Paris. Place the powder in little heaps on the floor where the beetles mostly come. In a short time they will all hive dis- appeared. Instead of plunging green vege- tables in cold water to which salt has been added to remove insects, a better way is to use warm water first, which thoroughly removes any insects; finally washing in cold wa- ter. Washing vegetables in cold water makes insects stick on. Salt is good for lustreless hair. Rub it well into the roots of the hair at night, then tie the hair up in a large handkerchief or wear a night- cap. Brush out the salt in the morning. Several applications of this treatment will bring about a great improvement in the appear- ance of the hair. Washing blankets is easily and well done in this way : Pour into a tub half a pint of household am- monia ; cover immediately with lukewarm water. This sends the fumes through the blanket and loos- ens the dirt. Stir the blanket with a stick until the dirt is in the wa- ter. Rinse in a tub of clear water, the same temperature as the first. Run lightly through a wringer and hang out to dry. IMNMOW BACON AWARDED. Two Couples. Happily Married, Ob- tain I union- Filch.

No More Worthy Exploit of the Kind H < lice ii Hour By Woman. The Royal Geographical Society a short time ago voted to admit women to fellowship on equal terms with men. This was only a timely and just recognition of the fact that the ranks of the explore Include many women who are worthy to be classed with such adventurous travellers as A. Henry Savage-Lander, writes F. L. Walde, fellow of the Royal Geograph- ical Society. One of the most re- markable journeys ever undertaken by a woman was that of Mrs. Leon- Idas Hubbard In continuation of the exploration In which her husband lost his life In 1903. Their marriage bad occurred at Bewdley, Out, on January 31, 1901. It was on June 20, 1903, that he sailed from New York and It was not until the following January that Mrs. Hub- bnrd received the laconic message. "Mr. Hubbard died on October 18th in tho interior of Labrador." His plan bad been to ascend the North- west river to Lake Michikaman and then go down the George river to Ungava bay, opening into Hudson strait, thus bisecting the lake-dotted wilderness that lies north of the east- ern end of the province of Quebec. He failed to find the Northwest river and took the wrong river Instead, and the result was that instead of coming out in the lake he sought, he was .in- extricably involved in the maze of lakes upon the great plateau. When at last he came in sight of Mlchaka- man. It was too late. He had not brought food enough, depending upon his gun to support him, and ho slowly starved to death. His body was re- covered during the winter. In the Summer of 1905 Mrs. Hubbard organized the expedi- tion to finish liis work. She got to the Northwest river post on Hamil- ton inlet on June 25th, and found she had 550 miles to go through unknown Labrador In two months, for the Hud- son Bay Company's steamer Pelican provided the only chanco"of returning to civilization before the pitiless La- brador winter rame down like a wolf on the field, and thn little ship would touch at Ungava in the last week of August, She had two canvas canoes, nine- teen feet long. Aboard them, with other articles, she stowed two bal- loon-silk tents, a stove, canvas and silk bags, 392 pounds of flour, 200 pounds of bacon, twenty cans of standard emergency rations, two rifles with 160 rounds of ammunition. There was a uupply of rice,, baking powder, condensed milk, hard-tack, su- gar and salt. Mrs. Hubbard carried re- volver and hunting knife, and In addi- tion to a oouple of cameras, a sextant with artificial horizon, a barometer and a thermometer. Her apparel should prove of Interest to women who oamp out or Intend to emulate her example. "I wore a short skirt over knickerbockers, n short sweater and a belt to which were attached my cartridge pouch, revolver and hunting knife. My hat was a rather narrow-brimmed soft felt. I had one pair of heavy leather moccasins reach- ing almobt to my knees, one pair of high sealskin boots, one pair low ones and three pairs of duffel. Of under- wear I had four suits and five pair* of stockings, all wool. I took also a rubber automobile shirt, a long Swed- ish dogskin coat, one pair leather gloves, one pair woolen gloves and a blouse for Sundays," the naively adds. "For my tent I had an air mat- tress, crib size, one pair light gray camp blankets, one light wool com- fortable weighing 3 Mi pounds, one little feather pillow and a hot-water bottle." Soon After the Start came tumultuous foaming rapids. The four men piled their poles till it seemed that the strain must surely snap them and leave the laden craft spinning helplessly In the raging tor- rent. When Mrs. Hubbard scrambled along MII, i,- at the most difficult places, the men warned her that she mustn't Rtand on the great rocks gaz- ing Into the maelstrom. "Why not?" she asked, longing, like Eve, for that which was forbidden. "You will get dizzy and fall in," they said. "Hui 1 do not get dizzy," she in- sisted. "Maybe ybu think you don't," they replied. "It is all right while you are looking ut the rapids, hut it is when you turn that you will fall. It IB very dangerous. If you are going to do that we will just turn round and go back to Northwest river." The warning was typical of their watchful care and loyalty. At one of the portages the men thought they would save themselves trouble. Two got into a canoe, con- taining half Its usual load, am) poled It, while the two others hauled from the ii:inu. just like boatmen In the treacherous rivers of ('hlna. Sudden- ly, at a big rock round which the water furiously swirled and eddied, over went the cunoe. One of the men, still clinging to the submerged boat, was swept down the river like HO much driftwood. When at last he and his precious charge came to the shallower water and they got. him out, i was found that all the axes, the stove, the frying-pans and other in- valuable articles were gone. It seemed for a moment as though the loss spelled failure. Hut the brave woman had no such word In her vo- ;ul>ulary. All the time (here was (lie harass- ng anxiety would they reach Un- ?ava by the end of Augimt, In time 'or the one and only ship? Some days they made only two miles, amid rotten loga and promiscuous bould- rs, wet and slimy, with moss, Threatening Wrenched Ankle*.

Mosqui- toes and files were an Egyptian plague. "\v, ate lunch with smudges burning on every side," she writes, "and the fire in the middle. I was willing that day almost to choke with smoKe to escape flies; but there was no escape. In spite of the smudges there were twenty dead flies on my plate when I had finished lunch, to say nothing of those lying dead on my dress and of the large number I had killed. I had to stop caring about seeing them In the food, I took out what could be seen, but did not let my mind dwell on the probability of there being some I did not see. When drinking, even while the cup was held to my lips, they flew into It as if determined to die." The misery created by these winged pests U a feature of travl In Inland Labrador upon which every explorer has dwelt feelingly. There were fresh bear tracks all about, and the men did not like to let their brave feminine leader venture far from camp. At last, after passing magnificent waterfalls, they came to Lake Michi- kaman, and to celebrate the event there was rice pudding for supper I Just as they came to the end of the lake the wind rose and the big waves threatened to upset the canoos. But the fates were on their side. For the next 50 miles the country was alive with the caribou; great masses of the beautiful deer threatening a stampede at sight of human beings, means that Mrs. Hubbard was witnessing what no other white woman probably had ever seen before the annual migration across l.nluailor of the fleet four-foot- ed pilgrims. The Indians kill them by the hundreds, and if they do not meet them at the proper time it means starvation. The wolves follow them, choosing a single animal and Pitilessly Running Him Down, At the outlet of the lesser lake Into which Michikaman opens they found the 300-mile Oeorge river beginning as a tiny rivulet. There were signs of campa deserted by the .Indians. The little party was anxious, for its reception was a matter of uncertainty. Mrs. Hubbard got out her revolver and began to polish it. It was the sixteenth of August and they had still about 270 miles to go to meet the ship. They saw a dark huddle of what they took to be caribou on the bank. After an exchange of shots they found out their mistake. The valiant In dlan hunters had departed, leaving the women and children to await their return. They were waiting and shout- Ing, "Go away, go away! We are afraid of you! Our husbands are away ! " But when they saw It was only a woman their fear turned to laughter and entire friendliness. They told Mrs. Hubbard It would take two months to get to Ungava. She gave them a little tea worth an much as line gold .to them and de- parted, though they had offered to bestow wives on all her men If they would but remain. More Indians were met, and an- other Invitation to tarry among them had to be resisted. Then came a wild race down through the rapids for five days. When at last they came out at the sea there were the tiny buildings of the trad- ing post and Mr. Ford, the agent. Mrs. Hubbard'H first question was, "Has tho ship been here?" "Yes," was the answer. "And gone again?" "Yes that is- what ship do you mnan? Is there any other ship ex- pected here than the company's ship?" "No, It Is the company's "ship I moan, the Pelican. Has she been here?" "Yes," he replied, "she was here last September. I expect her In Sep- tember again, about the middle of the month or later." 80 the long race against time, the long, hard fight against adversity was over. Mrs. Huhbard had kept faith with her husband's memory; she had finished his work; she had written a new chapter of geography. It Is not a story that brl ties with improbable, hair-breadth escapes and "moving ac- cident by flood and field." Yet no more worthy exploit of the kind has been set down to the credit of a wo- man. In her own simple words the geographical results aro set down. "The pioneer maps of the Nascaupee and George rivers, that of the Nas- caupee srpwlng Seal lake and Lake Michikaman to be the same drainage basin, and those which geographers had supposed were two distinct riv- ers, the Northwest and the Nascaupee, to be one and the same, the outlet of Lake Michikaman, carrying its waters through Sal lake and thence to Lake Melville, with some notes, by the way, on the topography, geology, flora and fauna of the country traversed." Dt CHESS' WEALTH SHRINKS Succeed to Large Income on Mother's Death, However. The reports of the young Duchess of Fife's wealth have been greatly exaggerated. On her marriage to Prince Arthur of Conna-ught the Duchess will have an income of ?50,- 000 a year. This, of course, will be supplemented by a big allowance from her mother, tho Princess Koy- al. On the death of t:he Utter, the Duchess of Fife will come into an income of $360,000 a year, while her younger si*ter will eujoy an incorno of half that amount. The Princess Royal, who has for years, suffered from neuralgia in the region of the spine and has in con- sequence been very irritable and difficult to deal with at tinier, now appears to br in much better health and spirits, although she- still suf- fers a-gonies of shync&i in public. She will, as usual, spend the fall at Mar Lodge, where the v ill short- ly receive a visit from her mother, Queen Alexandra. Tin-. Qucen- motlipr will then pay a visit to her daughter. Queen Maud of Norway, afterward going on to hop suburban wiia war Copenhagen, \\liere she and lier sister the Dowuger Empress of Ku8.ia, delight to go about incog- nito and ride about on tram ears. It is highly improbable, therefore, that Queen Alexandra will attend the Connaught-Fife wedding, but she will certainly be at Sandring- ham on Nov. 9, the anniversary of the late King Edward's birthday. HISTORY OF MOt M STREET. London Thoroughfare* Has Had Many .Notable Residents. Mount Street, where Prince Ar- thur of L'ounaught has purchased a house of the Earl of Plymouth, takes its name from "Oliver's Mount," a line of fortifications erected .by order of Parliament in 1043. The street was built gradual- ly from about the time of the re- storation, and for long its most no- table building was the "Mount' 1 coffee house. Sterne was a frequenter of the ''Mount" in his late years, and Har- riet, tir*t wife of the poet Shelley, was a daughter of John Westbrook, proprietor of the coffee house in Mount Street. Among former notable residents in Mount 'Street may be mentioned Lady Mary Coke, oir Henry Hol- land, Fanny Burney, Josiah Wedg- wood, Dr. Van Butchell and the Duchesa d'Angouleme, Practically the whole street has been rebuilt within recent yearn, and it is now one oi the handsomest in London* THE SUNDAY SCHOOL lESSflli INTERNATIONAL LESSON, , SEPTEMBER U. Lesson XI. The Ten Command-* ments, II. -Exod. 20.12-21. I Golden Text, Luke 10.27. Verse 12. Honor thy father and: thy mother Since the time of Au-j gustine the Roman Catholic Church^ and subsequently also some Proj testant churches, have regarded! the fifth commandment as heading the Becond table. The reason forjT this has been chiefly that this divM sion seemed to make the amount o writing on the two tables morej nearly equal. It has been defend-! ed also on the ground that the com-! mandment itself is moral rathe{ than religious, referring to a duty, toward others rather than toward God. In ancient times respect fo* parents was more a matter of re^ ligious obligation. Hence thai earliest grouping of the command-^ ments was, "I to V, religious duJ ties," and "VI to X, mural duties." That thy days may be long in th land which Jehovah thy God giveth t nee Jf W e are to think of a sim* pier original form for this com,* mandment, this attached reason foi obedience may perhaps be a late amplification. The wording of the( commandment in Deuteronomyl reads: "Honor thy father and thy| mother, as Jehovah thy God com- manded thee ; that thy days may be long, and that it may go well^ with thee, in the land which Jeho-' vah thy God giveth thee" (Dent. 6,, 16). Here the original command o|i Jehovah and the later reason of expediency are separated by thej intervening explanatory clause "as| Jehovah thy God commanded thee," which seems to point specif fically to an earlier more succinct! command to filial obedience. 13. Thou shalt not kill An ap- preciation of the sanctity of thei human life necessarily precedes a' sense of other duties and obliga-* tions to our fellow men. Henca tho moral precept of this com- mandment is, aa we should expect,! incorporated in all ethical codes'! which man has put into perman- ent, written form. 14, IB. Not commit adultery 4 Next to one's regard for the lif of his neighbor is his respect for family ties, and this in turn natu-< rally leads to a recognition of the, rights of personal ownership ofallj things belonging to a family, household. The next command-, merit is, therefore, against steal- ing. v 16. Bear false witness-The com- mandment as it stands refers pri-. marily to outright falsehood and perjury. It does not, however, ex-, elude private calumny, or the more: subtle habit of evil speaking against one's neighbor. Later on in the detailed legislation given by, Moses to Israel the latter is speci- fically forbidden in the words: "Thou shalt not take up a false re- port : put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous wit-, ness" (Exod. 23. 1). 17. Thou shalt not covet In un- dertaking to regulate a man's in* ner thought life as well as his outer life of action the Mosaic law places itself on a higher level than any other system of laws, ancient or modern. The Decalogue, and especially this commandment, pro- ceeds on the assumption that man is actually free to control his thoughts, and hence is responsible for them as well as for his actions. Thy neighbor's house If the word "house" be taken generical- ly, then the first clause of this com- mandment may he taken to cover the entire prohibition intended, the following specific things, such as wife, servant, ox. and n&3, being added simply as exemplifying all that which is to be understood un- der the word "house." Hence also the concluding phrase, ''nor ary- thing that is thy neighbor's." In the Deuteronomic version of th commandment the ord^r is slightly different, the commandm ;iit read- ing, "Neither shalt thou covet thy nelghbor'fl wife ; neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, cr l.is as. or anything that is thy neighbor's."
