The V. S. A. has achieved a good point of advantage in having "butter made from nuts' ' placed on the same list as common butter for pound rates. See page 2 of cover.

ULI LEHMANN IN NEW VORK. The Sdmli^t: American, in reporting the proceedings of the N. Y. State Audobon Society at the lecture room of the American Museum of Natural History, Mareh 23, states that " the great singer Madam Lili Lehmanu was introduced as a distinguished and loyal friend of birds, and she made an excellent address which was very much to the point. She said that in Europe there were many societies for the protection of birds, and they all worked in harmony, and any person could become a member of those societies upon the payment of a nominal sum, equivalent to two or threecents, the main purpose being to enlist all kinds of people in the movement for the protection of birds. She said that she was sorry to learn that there were no places in Central

Park expressly for the purpose of feeding birds. She had eight such places in her garden where the birds may come and be fed. She said there were 25,000,000 useful birds slaughtered annually for use on women's bonnets, and that &nners were already suffering from it and that ' women enjoy wearing feathers like savages.' Flowers and ribbons were a thoosand times more beautiful and more becoming. It is the duty of every woman to battle against this grewsome folly. For years Madam Lehmann's hats have not had feathers."

SHALL WK UNITE? Organizations for the promotion of health are accumulating with great rapidity. Al- most every health journal has a Chautauqua school in process of formation while some newspapers notably the /nier Ocean, Chica- go, has a ' ' Home Health Club of large pro- portions. The Hundred Year Club, the Ralston Club and many others are flourish- ing institutions. In tmion there is strength. Shall this strength be secured?

A LARGE VEGETARIAN COLONY. The Canadian Government has granted a township consisting of thirty six square miles of rich Manitoba soil at Winuepeg to the Dukhobortsi for their Vegetarian Col- ony and erected huts upon it to accommo- date 5000 immigrants. Twenty-five hun- dred are already on the ground and others are on the way that will occupy the remain- ing huts. The Friends in Philadelphia have already raised $5000 to aid these peo- ple and the cost of their transportation &om England was paid by Friends, Dunkers and Memonites in this country and Friends in England paid their transportation from Russia to England. The Dukhobors now ask for a loan which they intend to pay back after they have raised and harvested enough to do so.

The above menus were used on the oc- casion of Mrs. Haviland's Birthday, March 9th, 1899. The first was gotten up early in the evening to which Mrs. Haviland had invited ten people. Mr. Haviland arranged a surprise party of twenty more at 8 P. M. In regard to the evening refreshments Mr. Haviland writes :

'■ I prepared sandwiches of i. olives with capers. 2. Cheese. 3. Peanut Butter. 4. Dates with Brazil nuts. No. t was said to be delicious and no. 4 "grand." The salad was a la Maiguerite, containing any- thing that was good, a little tart, quite re- fieshing, and so good that they asked for more. Then cream and cakes. The com- pany was selected for goodfellowshtp and musical ability and they amnsed themselves immensely. Brunswick was in good form, Scott and C. A. Montgomery were here. " RECIPES.

Prom Good Heatlk.

Stewed Peanuts. — Shell the raw nuts, and blanch by pouring boiling water over them. After they have stood a few min- i«99

utes, the skins can be easily rubbed off- Add to a pint of the blanched nuts about two qtiarts of water, pnt them into a bean pot; heat to boiling; then place in a slow oven, and cook for nine or ten hours. When done, they should be soft, mealy, and rich with juice. No seasoning excfept a little salt will be required.

White Com Meal Cake. — Pour one cup of scalding milk very gradually over one- half cupful of white com meal. Stir it un- til perfectly smooth and thoroughly mixed, add I teaspoon of salt, and ponr it into a buttered pan to the depth of half an inch. Bake it about twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Split it open and spread with butter. There will be hardly more than two crusts, which those who enjoy Southern hoecake will find delicious. Be sure that the pan is large enough so that it will spread thin.

Strawberry Fritters. — Use large berries, washed, stemmed and placed on a cloth to dry. Make a batter with two eggs, whites and yolks beaten together : four table- spoonfuls of milk, a piece of butter the size of a walnut ; a pinch of salt, and a scant teaspoonful of baking powder, mixed in about a cup of flour. Drop in the batter two or three berries at a time, taking out at once in a large spoonful to cook quickly in very hot oil. Send to the table hot and dusted thickly with powdered sugar.

Oyster Plant Soup. — Scrape twelve good sized roots of oyster plants or sabify and throw them at once into cold water. Cut into thin slices, cover with i quart of water and cook gently for an hour. Add i quart of milk, two tablespoons of butter and seasoning. Serve with crackers.
