BAYONET TUOUGIIT OBSOLETE
Use Made By Bulgarians Wakes Up•
British Experts.
It is curious to think that the bay-
• /asset; vshieh has played so great a
part in the; Bulgarian viotories,
might not have been in existence if
• the military experts of the kingdom
had had their way.
` In 1892, in the Bulgarian scheme
• of modern. armament, the Mann-
• licher rifles were ordered without
any bayonets, the authorities hav-
ing come to the•conclusioe that the
bayonet was obsolete • in modern
warfare. The average opinion of
the army, however, soon made itself
felt:fa-aid the first order was vain-
termanded and the rifle was order-
• -ed. with the bayonet, but the bayo.-
• net was not of the ordinary size but
really a sort of knife. In subse-
quent orders the bayonet was not
queetioried,
It is interesting to speculate
what the Bulgerian fortunes might
have been without the bayonet.
Cold Weather Breakfasts.
With the advent of -cold weather
a substantial breakfast should be
served iroeyery heree Where one or
more breadwinners go forth, especi-
ally if they face a oold luncheon at
noon. Well eooked cereal mita a
few sliced dates or f%s, served with
hot milk or cream, various kinds a
breakfast' bread or Muffins, Greamed
toast, and emne inexpensive meat
dishes, all are possible to those
of moderate means if the cooks
know how to use remnants.
• Quick -Method Coffee Cake. —
(Baked the day before.) Ingredi-
ents : Four taaleepoonfuls of butter
(or butterine), two-thirds cupful of
•sugar, two eggs, one cupful of milk,
two and one-half cupfuls of sifted
pastry -flour, two teaspoonfels of
baking powder, butter,' su.gar and
cinnamon for Lop as needed. Me-
thed ; Cream butter, sugar and egg
until light; sift baking powder into
flour, add that and anilk alternat-
ing, beat well, then divide into two
well greased pie tins, Dot top
with bits of soft butter, sprinkle
well with sugar and cinnaanon and
bake a golden brown.
Scramble.—(A dish of left -overs.)
Ingredients: Two cupfuls of died
stale bread, one oupdul of cold po-
tatoes sliced in small shreds'two
to three eggs, milk as needed, salt
and pepper to taste, one table-
spoonful of finely diced bacon, one
tableepeonful of butter. Method:
Try out the bacon in a heavy pan
until a golden brown, toss in the
potatoes and let them ',grown slight-
ly on all sides. In the meantime
pour enough milk on the breascl to
just moisten, but not to make sog-
gy; toss that into pan and pour
the well beaten eggs over, season
to taste and toss lightly with a
spatula to let all parts be coated
with the egg and get just a golden
oolor. The delicacy of the dish de-
pends on careful cooking GO all is
nicely mixed and browned. •
Egg Puffs or Popovers.---Ingeeda
eats : Two eggs, one and one-half
cupfuls of sifted bread flour, one
and one-half cupfuls of milk, one-
half teaspoonful of salt. Method—
Stir railk and flour together, just
enough to blend, drop in the salt
and unbeaten egg, then with a
strong revolving egg beater work
mass rapidly until it is smooth and
full of bubbles. Fill hot, well
greased muffin tins two-thirds full,
and bake in very hot oven; after
the puffs have risen well lessen heat
a little and be .sure they are well
done before taking out. The puffs
must be a mere crisp shell, hollow
inside' with no trace of moisture or
they will fail. •

filled witli sawdust e were placed
about the church for the smokers,
and they sometimes left their long

• care of the verger until the next
Sunday carne around. It is told of
the incumbent of a Warwickshiee
church that he used to smoke regu-

SINGING MEN WORK BETTER.
It Pays to Make Laborers Happy
at Their Tasks.
"Happy ±5 the man who sings at
his work," runs the okl proverb.
And to many the drudgery of the
office is the omnipresent rule of
silence. Scientifie management has
put an end to singing.
Why should not men sing at their
work? The inspiring effect of mu-
sic is recognized. Else why does the
Army tare for the fife and the drum
to cheer it on the advence into the
battles?'
There is the soundest reason for
the old saying that a singing mali
is a happy man, for man never sings
when he is in pain or misery or is
plotting miserable thinge,
Some day even ecientific manaaes

INSECT METAL BOREB,S.
Plates of a Safe Half-inch Thick
• Were Perforated.
The voracious and destructive)
habits of the white ants of the trop-
ics are widely known,. Metal is al-
most the only substance that they
are unable to destroy. There is an
insect, however, ---and it, is not ne-
cessary to go to the teopies to find
it, ----that can bore through metal OA
easily as the white ant cari bore
through wood. • A writer in Zur Gu -
ten Stun,cle gives the following ac-
count of it: .
Any one can hear it buzzing in
She woods in midsummer, or per-
haps see the flash •of its yellow
wings. Sirex gigas is its forraida-
ble scientific name, but -we know it
simply as the horntailed weep.
This wasp bores into the tree in
-various places with. its long tail,
and in each hole leaves an egg. The
ensuing larva, a white, six -legged
,
grub, fitted with powerful jaws,
takes up the work of. boring into
the wood, and as it advanees cleses
the passage behind it witl the saw-
dust. If uninterrupted, the larva
continues boring deeper and deeper
into the tree, and since it is of
oourse growing all the time, it
ra,a,kes a bigger end bigger passage.
After about two years it nia,kee
•
its cocoon of silk in the burrow;
• then, after the. pupal skin is cast
off, the winged insect breaks
through its cocoon. Immedietely,
with feverish haste, it begins boring
toward liberty. Finally it reaches
the bark of the tree, and then the
open air.
It is often the case that during
She larval period the tree in which
the horntailed wasp is burrowing
may be felled, sawed into planks
and •u.sed in. building operations.
,Sometimes, for some particular
purpose, the timber may be en-
cased in a. metal sheathing. Thet
does uot disturb the wasp at all;
when its time oomes, it applies it-
self with energy -bo its task, and
soon bores a hole through which it
can 'escape.
Holes made by these insects ha,ve
been found be tin roofs, and in the
mint at Vienna was a safe, the half-
inch steel plates of whieh the wasps
had perferated. Some extraordi-
nary cases of their activity were
brought to the notice of the Aeed-
eney of Sciences in Paris. A barrel
of eaetridges that had been stored
away for some time showed the rav-
ages of the wasps in their search for
light and freedom. The insects had
not only eaten their way through
the wooden barrel, but through the
cartridges and leaden bullets as
well. Other boxes of cartridges
dating from the. Crimean War were
shown, completely riddled by weep-
borings—an excellent illustration of
the tremendous strength and the
determination to aocomplish their
purpose that these fragile insects
possess.
Onsse when the Queen was still
Duchese of York she was seized with
one of her snelden desires to im-
prove her boudoir. Princess Charles
of Denmark happened to be staying
-with her and the two Princesses set
to ;York to rearrange the furniture.
In a very short time not a table
or chair or ornament remained in
its place; else •for the impeccability
of even royal servants! The remov-
al revealeda host of unsuspected
dirty corners, dust and colrwebs.
The consternation ef the house-
keeper 'when she faced the dishevel-
led Princesses may be imagined.
The Qnelen has never forgotten
the lesson she learned, -and it is no
unusual thing for her to invade the

Wedding Ring Lore.
in the Tale of Man the wedding
ring was formerly used as an instru-
ment -of torture. Cyril Davenport,
in his book on "jewellery" remarks
that- there ono() existed e eustom itt
that island aceording to which an
unmarried girl who had been of-
fended by a. man could bring him to
trial,• and if he were found guilty
she would be presented with a
sword, a rope and a ring. With the
sword she might cut off his head,
with the rope she might hang him,
or with the ring she might marry
hen It is said that the latter pun-
ishment wee invariably ieflicted.
