MONKS MADE FIRST PANCAKES Delicious Comestibles Once Formed Supper of Holy Men on Eve of Ash Wednesday. Perhaps you admit ignorance as to knowing how pancakes first came to be produced? Well, the story is very interesting and worth London Answers says. Monks were the originators of pancakes, and we are told that on Shrove Tuesday their supper consisted of thin rakes, made in a pan with flour, milk, .eggs, fat, lard, etc. —hence pancakes. The idea was to use up all the foodstuffs remaining, which were prohibited on the following day—Ash Wednesday, the commencement of Lent. In the olden days the poor people would gather round various mon-; astery gates, it being the custom for the monks to distribute what pancakes they had left after supper among the hungry and slum dwellers. Shrovetide, and Shrove Tuesday by the way, were, in the first place, called shrive days. They were so called from the Tact that in the Roman Catholic church confessions are then made arid received preparatory to the fast of Lent. Shrive, which meant confession, later came to be called Shrove —thus we now get Shrove Sunday and Shrove Tuesday.

“TAKINGJTOCK” Should Sentiment Always Have Precedence? “Taking stock" of oneself is a periodical duty, probably not always practiced, and is as accessary as taking stock of your household effects or your “store goods.” The right minded man will do this. In unmolested moments he gives way to deep meditation; he gathers his thoughts to ascertain if brains, energy, and ability are syncopating properly, working together on lines that answer to an ambition that looks for a satisfactory return. If there be a deficit, his endeavor should be to discover the leakage. It may be that he lacks the nerve to go into a retrospective analysis, or fails in initiative that will prompt him to throw his horoscope in the future. Unless he can do these things he will never beuflHe to pull himself out of any “nitVfln which his condition has placed lunr. He must “take stock.” “Stock taking” leads to modern-day efficiency, and is demanded of every worker if unsatisfactory conditions are to be overcome. In the case of the farmer it may be that he is working a “too high-priced farm”; interest and rent may be an “overhead” eating up the profits. There may be other reasons why profits are not shown. It Is just possible that he is sacrificing profit and encouraging loss because of sentiment, but he does not realize that this is the cause. The farm was his birthplace; reared upon it, he knows every nook and corner of the old place. He fished in the brook, hunted squirrels in the woods, hid in the hayfield, grew to manhood upon the place, courted and married and brought up his family there, h’hese are ties that commend themselves, and why shouldn’t sentiment have a say? To many this will appeal. But are these good reasons to continue? Does not one owe it to himself and to his dependents to “take stock,” and put into effect action that will bring a balance on the credit side of the ledger—the balance that will bring happiness and give a comfort far greater thfln a mass of unpaid bills and a house full of worry, and a devotion to sentiment? Should he not look around for more favorable conditions, which may easily be found? Procrastination is said to be a thief. In this case the axiom is undoubtedly true. To allow the adverse conditions under which you may be laboring to continue may keep you for years longer in the present unsatisfactory position. There was a man at Brazil, Ind., who made weekly visits for upward of a year to the office of the Cahadian government,at Indianapolis, Ind, and from the agent secured all the information he possibly could as to conditions in Western Canada. But he lacked decision, did not “take stock,” or if he took it, failed to act. This was fourteen years ago. He lived on a small farm/which gave him a mere existence, and no promise of anything more 1 . He is still on the same place and no better off today than then. He had a friend working in a glass factory, who also had but little means. He becariie interested in Western Canada. He possessed, though, spirit and action.) With the impulse thus prompted he moved to Saskatchewan and took up a farm. Today he is the owner of a splendid section of land, has plentv/5f money in the bank, and could r«ire with a handsome competence. That which has been the godd fortune of the Brazil glass worker, who had “taken stock” and profited by it, may be that which will follow any other of like temperament and a firm wish to erect for a satisfactory future. Western Canada submits for consideration and approval conditions in agricultural lines that are exceptional. There is land there that annually produces about the same return as any other farming land,, and it can be purchased at but a portion of what the place which has not been a source of profit can be sold for. A section instead of a quarter-section, worked under western conditions, with no more effort, solves the big “overhead” expense. The social conditions, which are an important factor in deciding on a new home location, are ideal.— Advertisement.
