Wet two cloths; place one be- neath and one. on top and watch the space become clear in fifteen or twenty minutes. Let stand this long without disturbing. Pudding cloth, jelly bags, and so on should be well washed, scalded and hung up to dry. It is not nec- essary to iron them, but they should be smoothed and folded be- fore they are replaced in the drawer. Stand saucepans, fish kettles, etc., in front of the fire for a few minutes after washing them, so that they may be thoroughly dried inside. This makes them last lon- ger and helps to keep them in good condition. nN A LAKE OF SODA. But the Small Boy Must Not Ex- peet Too Much. Wonderful as have been the re- ports of the vast soda deposit at Lake Magadi in East Africa, says Current Literature, the tendency hitherto has been to deem the stor- les fantastic. Now, however, the mystery has been cleared up by the report of an expedition which pene- trated quite to the interior of Britain's remote possession--as far, indeed, as 15 miles from the front- ler of German East Africa. The ascertained facts according to the Chemical News, are more surpris- ing than were the first reports. What, in the case of an ordinary lake, would be water consists at Magadi of a solid deposit of soda, kettle to prevent sticking.

French Automobile Club Would Have Farmers Save Money, The use of gasoline motors for farm work is being promoted by the French Automobile Club, a special committee of which holds meetings at intervals of several years, and bestows prizes for the power plants of cultivators, six- awards of cash or medals hav- ing been recently made. Original applications or develop- ments by tht farmer himself are specially encouraged. The winner of the first prize, M. ¥Yvonnet Thov- areck, made use of a 1 1-2 horse- power motor. for driving nine pieces of farm apparatus, includ- 1 ee) eS st@nie; aridh wy, well p an RRL iry Machinds, The vari ne doviscn are belted sto dif- fereft | By ts, all in building. . ~ This use of wer has added 'muéh to thio. effeioncy of the farm, and is.estimated by the owner to save him 8600 a year.

WHERE BLACK RULES WHITE ABOUT THE ich TIMES THEY HAVE IN HAYTL A Beautiful Land with a Glorious ° Climate--Magnificent Scenery. _Hayti is probably the most turbu- lent country in the world. Out of its last twenty-seven presidents, twenty-three had wither to' flee for their lives or wcre assassinated. or killed in "battle. ) ' It used to be-a French posses- sion, and a mangled French is still spoken there; but for the last cen- tury or so it has been an independ- ent black republic. The Haytians believe themselves to be the most civilized nation on earth, but it is comic opera kind of civilization. The cities, for instance, are fitted up for electric light, but the elec- tricity does not work, and nobody tries to make it. Hayti is so shift- less that it has no foreign trade to speak of, so there are very few whites on the island. The few who do live there keep very quiet, for Hayti despises them. No white person is allowed to own land. This law alone is suffici- ent to prevent a large white popu- lation collecting there. TITLES ARE CHEAP. Hayti used to be known as the HISTORY IS NOW A DELIGHT. English Schoolmistress Teaches Children by Plays. The dramatic way of teaching children history bids fair to replace the time-worn text-book method, judging by the success of an experi- ment tried at an English schoo! in Winchelsea, The children, instead of being learning--by the simple expedient of getting them to act part in his- torical plays. Recently twenty-one of them went to Lonhdon to act the play of '"'S8axon and Norman," by permis- sion of Lady Evelyn Mason. The play was under the auspices of the Village Children's Historical So- ciety, the object of which is to broaden the village children's minds. Hitherto Harold the Saxon King, the Norman Conquest, William the Conquerer, and the rest have been mere names signifying harrassing lessons. To-day, Harold and Wil- are all very interesting people in- deed, and quite as real as pirates and redskins. All because they have themselves acted in the play of "Saxon and Norman" in their too. Miss Passev the headmistress of the school, commenting upon the effect on their work, said that when an inspector recently came to ques: tion them he did not plough any. land of the dukes with the absurd names. Some sixty years ago it started a peerage, and every peer chose the name whose sound struck his fancy. One black nobleman was the Duke of Marmalade, another the Duke of Lemonade. There was also a Marquis of Ginger Pop. But the peerage has been abolish- ed. Nowadays Hayti is chiefly known as the land of generals. The latest statistics--which, Hayti fash- "It has made them very keen on history," she added, "and we had very good reports from two other | inspectors. for there was not a sin gle question in history they could not answer Another noticeable effect wig that unlike the ordinary village children one meets, these little act: jors and actresses are anything but shy, and speak up and answer as readily as city children. When ask lon, are twenty years old--show an army consisting of 6,500 privates, 7,000 regular officers, and 6,500 generals. Those generals who have no horses ride on mules, and the army is clad in the cast-off uniforms of half the regiments of Furope. Some of the men parade without boots, some with cigarettes in their mouths, some with long sticks of sugar-cane there; some have rusty swords, the rest walking-sticks. CELEBRATING THE EVENT! There are many civilian generals as well. Country squires are usu- ally generals. As every respec- table Haytian has a passion for frock-coats and silk hats, perspiring ing in the fields frock-coated under a burning tropical sun. Hayti has a navy composed of six third-class cruisers, but even Hay- ti does not take that navy very seriously. When foreign vessels put into Haytian plagued by Haytiun tars trying to sell for a few pence brasswork and engine-room fittings! Hayti is steadily slipping back in- to barbarism. Sone years ago the municipality of Port de Paix showed sufficient enterprise to construct waterworks. The town was well piped, and hydrants were placed at short intervals all along the streets. Decorative fountains and drinking-troughs were put at every corner. The natives were delight- ed. For a week they gave them- selves up to fetes, balls, and pro- cessions, to celebrate the great event. But at the end of the week they went and tore up the whole system. Now they tie horses to the hydrants and pick their way in the main streets among fragments of pipes, and are happy. seem they haven't much use for fresh water. WITH ITS GRIM SILE. There is a grim side to Hayti's re- lapse into savagery... Voodooism is form, of cannibalism, practised by | high and low. At intervals these frock-coated generals retire to the: depths of the jungle and worship the snake-god, sacrificing and eat- 'ing children in its honor. All re- spectable inhabitants of Hayti hot- ly deny "that this is so, but travel- lers. have séen. At least two of Hayti's recent presidents were knowy .Voodoo-Worshippers. : Hayti is-a beautiful land. It has a glorious climate, some of the lova- liest mountain and forest scenery in the world, and the most fertile of soils. The Haytian is a lazy, good-humored child. But somehow there is an uncanny atmosphere about the island, and most of the few travellers who have found their' way there have confessed to héavi ing a sigh of relief on seeing the coast-line fade on the horizon.-- London Answers. - ars SE NE SENSE RE - bars 'are six'daily newspapers in Torénto, 49 weekly papers, 20 semi- monthly, 76 monthly, eight quar- terly, and one directory company.
