LITTLE HELPS. e
If you have hard apples with
whieh to make pies, try grinding
them in meat chopper after thee:
are peeled and cored. Swcenen,
flaeor, and spread on pie like mince
meat. Will bit clone when crust is.
Japanned trays should never be
touched with hot water, for it will
cause the varnish to creek and peel
off. To cleanse theseetrayse rub a
little olive oil oa and then polish'
it off with a ilannel.
A sick room, even if it is to be
used a short time, should not be
too fully furnish -ed, and no super-
fluous boxes and baskets should be
left about. It is best to avoid
many ornaments that harbor dust
and need dusting.
Do not put eggs into dee pud-
dings, as they are really wasted.
All that is required in addition to
the rice and Milk is a small piece
of butter. Tbese puddings, to be
good, must be cooked quite three
hours very slowly.
Clean iron holders are the excep•
Mon rather than the rule. They
need not be, for little washable
cases, open at oue end like a pillow
slip, are easily made, and can be
renewed as often as desirable with
little trouble. Tie the eases on with
tapes. •
To whiten flannels made yellow by
age, diesolve 1 leg pounds of white
soap in about twelve gallons of
soft water, adding two-thirds of an
ounce of spirits of ammonia. Place
the flannel articles in this solution,
stir well for is short time, .and ikon
wash in ordinary.
Before using plates, pie dishes,
etc., for coking purposes it is a
very wise plan to put them in a pan
of cold water. Place oVer the fiee

Heads and Tails.
A well known astronomer and
mathematician was on his way home
one evening after having spent an
hour or two in au observatory, look-
ing througli a telescope at a cornet.
Directly opposite him in the car sat
a man with a loud voice, whose mis-
information concerning (minks would
have suppliedthe material for a
library and who appeared to be talk-
ing for the benefit of all the passim-
gers. The astronomer listened pa-
tiently for a time. Then he said in
a low lone to the num sitting next
to him:
"Otir friend on the other side of
the aisle reminds me somewhat of a
comet himself."

MARVELLOUS EXHIBITION.
A young concluder on the Tokio
street railway suddenly -fell appar-
ently lifeless on the platform of
his car suffering from apoplexy.
Every possible means of resuscita-
tion. was tried without avail.
The man remained livid, with-
out any apparent respiration or
pulsation, and was on the point of
being given up for dead when ono
Tura Hidikichi, who ia is jiu-jitsu
expert, ha,ppeue•d to pass by, ands,
lifting the lifeless body up, triad
upon it the jiu-jitsu method of
resuscitation.
The effect was as instantaneous
as it was marvellous. The patient
immediately regained full consci-
ousness, to the great amazement of
around,
eonlookers who had crowded

HOW THEY DO IT.
Broadly,' speaking the method em-
ployed is as follows: The operator
kneels on one knee immediately be-
hind the patient, whore he lifts to
a semi -sitting posture, placing his
(the operator's) knee between and
slightly below the patient's shoul-
der blades in the eareliao region,.
then brings bis hands forward over
the patient's chest, and then gives
them a powerful jerk backward. If
any life remains the effect is in-
stantaneous, not only respiration
and pulsation, but full conscious,
ness, being restored. There are,
however, details in regard to this
treatment which cannot be learned.
ARMIES OF SPIES AT WORK.
Big Excitement Over Gernian and
British Arrests.
Behind the excitement caused by,
the recent arrest of spies in Ger-
many and England there is .an
itt-
teresting story. Extensive work of
this nature is carried on in all Eu-
ropean countries by officers of the
rival armies and navies.
It is well known to the English
press, but it has not been publish-
ed, that the two Englishmen laid
by the heels at Bork= by the
German authorities are offieers of
social prominence on the active list
of the British navy. The Admiral-
ty solemnly affirms that the two are
under leave of absence to study.

they are sent on a mission of espi-

Their influential relati-ves beought
pressure on the British authorities
soon after their arrest to take re-

it would be ,easy to arrest forty .
