‘EVE’s RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM. '
Though we belong professedly to a
civilization that does not exalt the
masculine to the abnegation of the
feminine, yet it must be confess :d that
the parents of a baby boy do come in
for more Sincere congratulations than
the father and mother of an infant
daughter, no matter how sweet and
c‘ ubby the latter may be in contrast to
1 e peevish, fretful, scrawny man-
cdild.
To be the father of a boy is apparent-
ly the acme of bliss, and as life begins,
so life goes on, the good things falling
naturally to the boy, the sorrow and
the pain as naturally to the girl. '
Therefore, when we are brought
face to face with a condition such as
now exists in Europe, its absolute op-
position to tradition and prevailing
rmodes, we must pause and for once
acknowledge that the girl has the bet-
ter Of the boy.
This condition is exemplified in the
personalities and surroundings of the
royalties, the girl queen of Holland
and the boy king of Spain.
The former, radient in youth, health
.and beauty, steps. upon a throne as
,solid as the rock of Gibraltar, and has
.every inch other-pathway strewn with
_the roses. of- a nation’s devotion and
loyalty. Her horizen is unclouded by
.aught of dissention or the exigencies
.of war.
She is an ideal figure of girlish queen-
11;ness, and will undoubtedly move into
a wider sphere fully equipped by care
ful training and loving counsel to rule
wisely and well.
The boy, On the other hand, poor
mite, has, ever since his advent] into
this world; struggled with disease that,
many a time and oft has threatened to
destroy his feeble frame, while rumors
of revolution and the appalling cer-
tainty of war and overwhelming defeat
have cast their shadows over the
throne that totters like a reed in a
- fierce storm.
He has little of joy to look forward
to in the future. Already there are
murmurs and dissensions among his
people, and the office of king is vested
With more of pain than of pleasure.
Boy and girl monarchs, the contrast
in your lives is keen and poignant, and
lest any one should declare that from
the cradleto the grave-man reaps the
richness of life’s .fruitage, let them
gaze on this picture of sunshine and
shadow, and acknowledge in one in.

8mm Muffins.
Ham muflins are a. slight variation
of ham fritters. ‘A light batter is
made with a. pint of flour, two tea-
spoonfuls of baking-powder, a scant
cup of milk, one egg, beaten light be-
fore it is added, a little salt, and a
half-teaspoonful of Sugar. Chop about
a. cupful of cold boiled ham very fine
and stir into this batter, which it will
be seen is slightly stiffer than that usu-
ally made for fritters. The mixture
is baked in muffin-tins for fifteen or
twenty minutes, and is more whole-
some than the grease-fried fritters.

To Prevent Loaves from Cracking.
Cake-bakers who find that their
loaves persistently crack should be
careful, to moderate the heat of the
oven when the loaves are first put in.
A piece of asbestos paper over the top,
if the oven is suspected of being of too
high temperature, will prevent the
cracking. It should be removed as
soon as the bottom seems to be well
baked. . w u

The Sultan of Turkey has just built

biggest house in the world is in a sub-
urb of Vienna. It accommodates 2,112
