Germany's new plan of terrorizing Paris by air raids caught the Gauls with an insufficient supply of gas masks, The bombs that fell upon the French city were noxious and threw out fumes of deadly gas, so that the population of the capital took to the cellars with all speed, using such gas protectors as they could obtain.

Cold, wet, retentive soils should not be worked too early, certainly .not when wet, when they are drying, when the clumps break up well is the best time. Lighter soils of a mare porous nature can be worked much earlier. Clay benefits light, sandy soils. Sometimes it is found under the surface and a little may be brough' to the top with good results. Clay soils are benefited by applications of ashes, burnt garden rubbish, stable manure, dead leaves, etc. These little dishes are ideal for dividual scalloped dishes, cup cakes, te t y muffins, custards or puddings.

Surplus egg; preserved in the spring will supply the home with good eggs in the fall and winter, when eggs are hard to get and are high priced. Eggs to be preserved must be fresh, and should be placed in the preserv- ing container as soon as possible after they are laid. One of the best meth- ods of preserving is by the use of waterglass, a pale yellow, odorless, syrupy liquid that can be bought by the quart or gallon from the druggist or poultry supply man. It should be diluted in the proportion of 1 part of waterglass to 9 parts of water which' has been boiled and allowed to cool. Earthenware crocks or jars are the best containers, since their glazed surface prevents chemical action from the solution, The crocks or cans should be scalded and allowed to cool before they are used. A Container holding five -gallons will accommodate fifteen dozen eggs- and will require one quart of waterglass. Half fill the container with the waterglass solution and place the eggs in it. Eggs can be added from day.to day as they are obtained, mak- ing sure that the eggsare covered by about two inches of waterglass solu- tion. Gover the container and place it in a cool place where it will not have to be moved. Look at it •from. time to time, and if there, seems to be danger of too much' evaporation add sufficient Cool boiled water to keep the eggs covered, • Eggs removed from the solution should be rinsed in clean, cold water. Before they are boiled holes should be pricked in, the large ends with a needle to prevent them from cracking. Limewater also is satisfactory for preserving eggs and is slightly less expensive than waterglass. A solu- tion is made by placing two or three pounds of unslaked lime in five gal- lons'of water which has been boiled and allowed to cool, and allowing the wixiere to stand until the lime sets I NM E.
