A few drops of vinegar will keep gmtatoes white, if put in as soon as they begin to boil, and when boiling fish, a few drops of vinegar hardens the fish and helps to keep it whole. Every cellar should have many shelves for the convenience of the housekeeper. There should be one or two hanging shelves. By this means the cellar may be kept in order and sanitary. To clean doormats, put the mat into a bath of soapy water and scrub with a hard scrubbing brush. Then rinse well in cold water, standing it up to dry. A French sergeant who was wound- ed in the head in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 had abnormal times, which lasted about thirty hours, dur- ing which he felt and smelt nothing, although his appetite was normal. During these abnormal periods cer- tain experiments were made with him, and one of these was the writing of an unseen letter, the writer’s hand being hidden by a special screen. Experiments Made During Abnormal Periods. Two tablespoonfuls of paraffin mixed with a bucket of boiling water with which tables are to be scrubbed wiil make them beautifully white and smooth. The water in which asparagus is cooked should never be thrown off, as it .contains a large amount of nu- trition and makes excellent cream of asparagus soup. A simple potato salad is made with slices of cold boiled potato, some chopped chive or onion leaves, salad dressing and a sprinkling of fine parsley. A mixture of half a teaspoon tartar emetic, one teaspoon sugar and three tablespoons water in a dish where ants congregate will speedily drive them away. Do not forget, when making meat pies, to put in also raw potatoes, to- matoes or hardâ€"boiled eggs. This saves the meat. Cornstarch is the best for starch- ing cuffs and collars; wheat starch for delicate dresses; rice starch for fine French lingerie. A steaming hot dish of baked or boiled macaroni dressed with cream and grated cheese is a very good sub- stitute for meat. Instead of adding bluing to water in which lace has been rinsed, try making the final rinsing in milk; it gives a lovely creamy tone to the lace. When jam assumes a. “sugary” ap- pearance, stand it in the oven until the sugar has melted, and when cool it will be ready for use.

Nay, my lord, 0 king; but Elishaâ€"The story of Naaman was known. It was natural for a quick- witted soldier to remember Elisha’s cure, and to relate this power of the prophet to the seemingly miraculous way in which every military move of the Syrian king was anticipated and frustrated. 13.

To him the angelic protectors were al- Ways apparent. Tobacco Growing in France. The cultivation of tobacco in France is strictly controlled by the national Government. Licenses are issued to communes or districts authorizing the cultivation of tobacco on a specific area. This area is then allotted to certain growers, and from the plant- ing to the gathering of the crop eyery plant is under the supervision of gov- ernment officials. As the govegn‘ment is the sole purchaser of thele’af when grown, it thus maiptains a practical control over the amount that may be ' ‘ in a in year.

The king of Syriaâ€"Prob- ably Ben-hadad (see verse 24). Israel was in grave danger at this time. Syria was a powerful and determined foe. 9. The man of God sent unto the king of Israelâ€"â€"Although the kings were inimical to the prophets, the lat- ter did not forsake their sovereigns. The prophets knew that without God’s guidance Israel and her kings could not survive. 10. Not once nor twiceâ€"But several times. Elisha’s advice was always good. The Syrians claimed it was based on actual knowledge (see verse 18.

The statis stics of the surgical history of the war is to be one of the most valuable contributions to the story of human experience with in- fected wounds. Boiling to death used to be a form of capital punishment in England. The reports from both sides in the western war area seem to indicate that by far the greater part of the wounded not only recover but actually return to service. For some months the ratio of such recoveries to deaths a special memorial in the history of the present conflict is the statistics of the number of wounded who recover if once they are placed in a position to obtain the benefit of surgical mea- sures. Infection prevails in army wounds. Antiseptics have been found unavailing to a great degree except for superficial wounds, but the ad- vance in bacteriological pathology has made some very potent remedies available. . Sir Almroth Wright. to whom mod- ern medicine owes so much for the discovery of remedial reactions within the body to bacterial toxic processes, recently received one of the prizes of the French Academy because of the magnificent efiects noted from these newly discovered curative principles in the present war. French surgeons have now followed up his discovery by the invention of a polyvalent serum that is eminently life saving. Newly Discovered Curative Principles in the Present War. The one encouraging feature of the war news that probably will constitute Peter the Great loathed the sight of water. He could scarcely be per- suaded to cross a bridge, and if com- pelled to do so would sit in his car- riage, with closed windoWs, bathed in perspiration. Fear of the River Mo- ser, which flowed through his palace garden, prevented him ever seeing its beauty. Julius Caesar, to whom the shout of thousands of the enemy were but sweet music, was mortally afraid of the sound of thunder, and always wanted to hide underground whenever a thunderstorm hovered army. Another famous man who was supersensitive to the presence of cats was Henry III. of France. This mon- arch disliked them so intensely that he was known to faint at the sight of one. Two other great generals, Marshal Saxe, the French soldier, and the Duke of Schomberg, also held them in horror. A pretended search was made, but disclosed no trace of the animal. The famous soldier persisted in his de- claration. Finally the host, realizing that he was causing “Bobs” great dis- comfort, let the cat “out of the bag” and the ottoman at the same time and apologized for the annoyance caused. “Bobs” Was Afraid of Cats, and Pe- ter the Great, Water. A peculiar sense of fear is associâ€" ated with many different creatures and things. Lord Roberts, for in- stance, was afraid of cats. He would not have a cat in the room where he was sitting. On one occasion, when asked’out to dinner, his host rather doubted the existence of his fear and concealed a cat in the ottoman in the dining-room. Dinner was announced and served, but the chief guest seem- ed ill at ease and at last declared his inability to go on eating, as he was sure there was a cat in the room. FEARS OF GREAT MEN. SCIENTIFIC SURGERY. over his McArthur did not appear, having fled from the jurisdiction of the court, and a sentence of outlawry was pronounced by the Judge. This means that he is put outside the protection of the 13% is banished from Scotland, and any goods or land he may have are forfeited. -He can, however, at any time submit to the jurisdiction of the law that he has defied. Old Sentence Revived in Case of Man Who Ran Away. A curious ancient penalty was re- vived in a sentence passed on an ac- cused person in Scotland. John Mc- Arthur, a Glasgow dealer, did not appear with two other defendants, who were accused of stealing stolen jewelry valued at over $10,000. The 0“ er men surrendered to their bail ag'the Edinburgh High Court and were found not guilty and discharged. The Imperial Household Depart- ment has already procured from the Sanryusha at Okazaki in Aichi pre-i fecture three kan of the best raw3 silk, with which the ceremonial dress!1 of the Emperor at the coronation this fall will be woven. At the Sanryusha silk-worm weaving room, the selected silk worms were reared with utmost care. The raw silk was reeled and was sent recently to the Imperial Household Department through the Aichi Prefectural Office. On Sunday' the cleaning work was started in. the reel room. Forty girls wearing white ; working clothes were employed. The; working girls began their work in the morning at 6 o’clock and finished; at 4 o’clock. i Coming Coronation of Emperor Caus- ing Reform Among Canines. Indicative of the minute care taken by the Japanese to prevent untoward happenings on the occasion of the cor- onation next November, it may be noted that the police authorities have decided to kill all vicious and stray dogs in the prefectures through which his Majesty will travel during the ceremonies. All the dogs in Japan are, therefore, on their good behavior and reformed and repentent dogs are reported daily in great numbers. The police have already killed 374 irre- claimable dogs in Kyotoâ€"the bad kiyis of Kyoto. “Owing to these facts, some raw fur dealers withdrew from the mar- ket for the time being, while others readjusted their prices as far as pos- ible to meet the new unprecedented conditions, and purchased such furs as were offered them for sale. Manu- facturers of fur garments and retail- ers bought only on a hand-to-mouth the most said J oh1 merchant “This fact, taken with the large offerings of furs and the lack of pur- chasers, resulted in a heavy decline in prices compared with the prices realized for the same class of furs one year earlier; the result being that many fur dealers withdrew their stocks from the sales, and the war coming on shortly afterwards. left vast quantities of furs unsold on the London market, while the American dealers were also well stocked up with raw furs. Business in all lines was in a more or less demoralized condition; many men were out of em- ployment, both in the United States and Canada, and the outlook for the sale of manufactured furs in America was far from promising, so that the raw fur dealers were at a loss to know whether they would be able to find a market for the furs they pur- chased or not.” merchant. “Before the war per cent. of all the raw fur c Canada and the United Ste annually exported to Europe; largest fur markets of the \ ing London, England, and Germany.

The spirit ceased to rap! Years after, when a signal engineer, this early ex- periment in track-circuiting came to his mind. It was then that he made use of the principle for the protection The inventor of the automatic sys- tem of signalling was, when a boy, an attendant at a spirit-rapping seance. He found that the table stood on two brass rails running across the stage, and at once suspected electricity. Suddenly the idea of its utility flashed across his mind. He at once started to advertise his new blotting- paper, and the demand was so great that the mill ceased making ordinary paper, and concentrated on blotting- paper. Visitors to the “pictures” will be familiar with the method which used to be in vogue in Good King George’s day, of sprinkling wet ink with sand from a sort of pepper-box. Well, one day some ordinarypaper was being made, when a workman f or- got the size which ought to have been mixed with it to give it surface. The whole batch was ruined; but shortly afterwards the paper-maker wanted to write a note, and, thinking: it good enough for the purpose, used a piece of the sizeless paper. To his great annoyapce the ink ran all over. A Limerick tobacconist believed himself to be ruined by a fire that de- stroyed his shop. Several tins of snuff had been in the fire, subjected to great heat. Curiosity prompted him to open one, and his fortune was made. That scorched snuff ousted every other brand! It was the burning of a starch fac- tory on the banks of the 'Liffey that first revealed the adhesive qualities of scorched starch with water, and introduced to the world a new and cheap gum. How Fortunes Were Made T hrougli Accidents. Trivial mishaps have often led u fortune; good has often come out 01 seeming evil; joy out of sorrow. Al- fred Nobel was assisting in his fa- ther’s factory at Stockholm in the manufacture of nitro-glycerine. One day he found that a cask of the stufi had leaked badly, and its contents got mixed with the silicious sand used as packing. It suggested to him the method of preparing a safe and man- ageable explosive, and the result was dynamite, says London Answers. “Under these conditions we can only look forward to a prosperous season for all concerned. The eon- sumer will purchase American-caught furs at comparatively low prices, this stimulates the demand of the reâ€" tailer from the manufacturer, the manufacturer from the raw fur dealâ€" er, and the raw fur dealer from the trapper, consequently we expect that the prices which will prevail during the coming raw fur season will be fully as high on all articles, and con- siderably higher on some articles, than were paid during the past year, and while they may not be as high as the prices that prevailed for "1": eral years when values of raw furs were inflated, yet they will be sufi‘i- ciently high to amply recompense the trapper for his efforts in securing the valuable fur-bearing animals, and the larger catch which he will undoubted- ly have, will materially assist in in- creasing the size of the trapper’: bank account.” basis, stocks, tions 1 peared pers m ing th: for the turally of all trade. portunity furs at ‘ had a sti: trade, as to purcha prices the to pay f0] “The result of the increased conâ€" sumption of American-caught furs in the United States and Canada has tended to use up the accumulated stocks that were in the hands of the dealers at the time the war broke out.‘ Business has assumed a more settled condition, manufacturers have bought heavily and retailers have bought their usual stocks of manufactured furs, so that the present raw furs season opens with no great accumu- lation in the hands of the dealers, and the market is practically cleared ready for the new-caught skins to be absorbed in the ordinary course of trode.
