The major headed his battalion in the great parade of the returning victors up Pennsylvania avenue. Then there came the final mustering out of the troops. Less than a month afterwird the colonel of a fighting line regiment received a let- ter bearing a Toronto postmark. It was from the major. It said fo part: "I serv- ed all through the war under an assumed | mame. I trust that I did my full duty.

If curtains are allowed to dry before being starched, they will last clean quite a month longer. To clean black cashmere wash the goods in hot suds containing a tle bo- rax. Rinse in very blue bluing water and iron while damp: Clothespins need washing occasionally to keep them in good condition. It is a good plan fo put them in the copper after the clothes have been taken out. After they have had a good wash they should be thoroughly rinsed in clean water. Woolen goods when washed in soap and water shrink and acquire the odor of the soap. Therefore steep the articles in a warm solution of washing soda for several hours and then, after the addition of warm water and a few drops of am- monia, wash and rinse in Mkewarm water. Starch for table linen is made By put- ting one tablespoonful of dty starch into two quarts of boiling water after having first dampened the starch with cold wa- ter. Let this boil for ten minutes, stirring constantly and adding « little wax, lard er butter. Fine, heavy damask table linen does not require starch. Tibetan Skull Drums. A drum of an extreme repulsiveness of nature is one used by the lamas of Tibet at some of their church ceremonies. For this the craniums of two skulls, prefera- bly children's, dre taken, and over the ide of each is stretched the skin of a snake. The two skulls are then ce mented at theif vertices to either side of a wooden disk covered with a cotton cloth, the stretched skins being outer most. These drums are often ornamented by having the heads of devils and suck like horrors, the more repulsive the bet- fer, painted upon them in red and blue colors. The method employed in playing them is rather curious. To the wooden disk between the two balves a cord is fastened by which the drum can be sus- pended and then rapidly rotated. Two short cords with knobs at their ends hang down in such a way that as the drum re- volves they strike alternately on either face and thus produce a regular "tum, tum." Maddening Snuff, On the Amazon river several Indian tribes use snuff, called pareca, which is made of the seeds of a species of plant. When a bout of snuff taking is determin- od on, the people become highly intoxi- cated and then use the snuff. The effect of pareca is so violent tbat the taker drops as if shot and lies insensible for some time. Those more a to it are highly excited, dancing and singing as if mad. The éffect soon subsides. Oth- er tribes use it to repel agie during the 'wet season. About te Make a Change.

PADEREWSKI GOT $20. fiat It Cost Him That to Get Clothes Out of Pawn, Paderewski"s first really important engagement as a planist was in Paris. long after the déuth of his beloved wife. He was engaged to play In the drawing room of a lady famous for her musicales, and his fee, which seem- ed to him enoribous, was $20. He man- aged to persuade the humane agent to pay him in advance, and when Pade- rewski had redeemed his dress suit from pawn and paid for shoes, gloves, tie and other essentials he had no mon- ey left for cab hire, so he was forced to walk to the scene of his engagement, The music loving audience inspired him. He played with feeling, passion and mastery of kis instrument as nev- er before. Hie guccess was instant and unmistakable. The poor player had suddenly becoive the Fon of the hour, his dream had becors¢ #& reality, and fame and forttne were assired him. At last, after disengaging himself from his admirers, he turfted to leave, when his hostess, remembering with regret the smallness of the fee for so marvelous a performace, offefed him. her carriage for his féturn kome.
