Schiller now admits his name is Clarence Hud- son, his father being English, his mother German; he being born in Petrograd. With four other men he plotted to board an English steamer or and capture treasure on board„ but Pak• having taken too much intoxicating th liquor, he boarded the Matapo and up held up the captain and crew when the en weasel was well out at sea. He was so disgusted with the meagre loot on board that when off the Delaware coast he ordered the captain to put him ashore; where upon landing he was disarmed and arrested. Schiller's or Hudson's only fear is that he be turned over to the British authorities who he is convinced would hang him from a yard arm for piracy on the high seas. e.

To clean lamp burners wash them in wood ashes and water and they will come out clean and bright. Wipe the kitchen oilcloth with skim- med milk. This treatment is almost as beneficial to the cloth as a coat of varnish. To clean bamboo furniture use a brush dipped in warm water and salt. The salt prevents the bamboo from turning color. To make an excellent dressing for linoleum take equal parts of linseed o11 and cider vinegar and mix them bhoroughly together. If you rub a little butter under the spout of the cream pitcher it will pre- vent a drop of cream running down the side of the pitoher. Coffee and tea stains, if rubbed with butter and afterwards washed in hot. soap -suds, will come out, leaving the table linen quite fresh and white. Rub cornstarch on a grease spot and it will absorb the grease. Rub off in two hours. If not all gone repeat un - till the spot is cleared of grease.

Prominent Frenchman Sees Trouble Following War, Eugene Drieux, famous French play- wright and feminist, seeing in the con- flict between men and women in the labor market the most serious post. bellum danger confronting Europe, suggests the following remedies. 1—Man must give up his drunken habits, but he must be so uplifted as to have no such excuse that the saloon is the poor maws parlor. 2—Man must respect woman and not treat her as a silly, shrinking, i necessarily subjugated being. 3—The abominable system of mar- riage doweries must end. Marriage must not coma as a relapse into re- spectability after mis-spent youth, but it must come during youth's best days, so that the couple may lead together a complete life with its early strug- gles, anxieties and joyous successes, 4—Mothers must teach their sons to respect women. 5—No honorable woman must have a peaceful moment as long as she knows that some other woman is forc- ed to sell herself through physical or moral poverty, 3 SOLDIER'S WILL IN VERSE.

The true for safe planting is a mat- «. ter that worries the amateer garden- s er, It is better to be sure than Sony. • Early planting is all very good in ecr- u Iain situations, well drained, with e eastern exposure and protection from f the north and west winds. If this aggregation of circumsances is not possible, it is best to delay until' na- g tura gives a reliable signal One of - the best indications of the safe time ' to put things into the ground is the blossoming of the trees. The earliest planting is of the peas, the smooth seeded varieties. The wrinkled varieties must be put in when the ground is waren, but the others resirt cold and, even wet ground. When the leaves appear on the maples it is safe to put the smooth peas in. The flowering of the peach is the signal for the other varieties, which are of a more delicate flavor, but lack the earliness which makes the, smooth kinds so "tasty" before any' other crop is ready. About the same time it is safe in• this latitude to put out onion sets. These are -tiny bulbs which have been grown the preceding year. They give a good crop of scullions for early eat- ing and the ground used for them can be later sown with beets or some other crop. A pint, planted to the extent of half a dozen feet for a row,' at intervals of three or four days will give a succession. One long row can be planted to mature in the ground; onions can be dug np from Scottish Officer's Testament Is Ad- mitted to Probate, The will was proved recently of a Second Lieut.

In spite of the heavy increase of the duty on tobacco the consumption last year exceeded that of 1914 by 5.597,- 485 pounds, This is the chief fea- ture of the national tobacco bill. The bill has been compiled by 11. P. Mon- chieff of Newcastle -on -Tyne. The total consumption in 1915 was 116,580.700 pounds, against 110,983,215 pounds in 1914, the increase being 5,.• 97,485, - Mr. Monsorleff points out that these figures do not include the tobacco sup fled "duty free" to the trenches and wounded men in the military hospitals.

All the known gambling houses in Paris were closed at the outset of the war, but the prolongation of hostilities has proven too much for the patience of sporting people, and an occasional clandestine resort is now found. One was raided the other evening in the Rue Chained= where 19 women and time to time for use, the row thus is thinned out to allow room for the re mainder to attain full size.

These can be thinned out.' generously for table use, permitting' the residue to mature fully. This, too, is a rafe time for putting out lettuce plants, which can be bought for about 15 cents a dozen, or started in a cold frame or in boxes indoors, Radishes can rafely be planted in the open at this time. You will have to wa't till the pear trees blossom before putting out the early carrots, turnips and parsnins. Parsley and sage can be planted for the herb garden (which every amateur should have, as it takes up only a few square feet of ground in a car- ner) at this time. The parsley is very slow to germinate and should be soaked over night to give the seeds a star`, before they are put into their place in shallow drills. This is a safe date also to put out, cabbage plants if any have be40 grown in the cold frame. Cabbage plants of the early varieties can be bought for a few cents a dozen at the nurserymen's. Late tonic':oes can be planted out in the open in a temporary seed bed at this date. But it will be too early to set out plants. These can be bought a lit'le later for about 30 to, 50 cents a dozen. A half dozen early and half a dozen late tomatoes will be an abundance for a family of three. Larger families can be provided fort in proportion. Apple blossom time is early enough for several vegetables. Bills of early cucumbers can be planted then. Squash, mn-kmelons and pumpkins also wait till this date or a little later. Beets can be planted directly where they are to mature at this time, or can be planted in the temporary -seed bed and transplanted when they have attained three or four leaves. blossom tme. It is better to wait on' Early corn can be put in in apple corn for the sake of safety, as thel seed may rot in the ground if there is a wet spell.

HE JUMPED INTO A VAT OF WAX A FAMOUS FRENCH DOCTOR'S DISCOVERY, Wound Treatment by the Use of Boil. ing 011 and His Experiment, The use of boiling oil as a treat - tenant for open wounds and ulcer's is not modern. Ambrose Pare, the mas- ter of Feeney surgery, employed this method of treating the wounds of i soldiers about 400 years ago, writes a Pails correspondent to the New York Stun, BuL Buell a treatment has Just come to the forefront of medical discussion to the Academy or Medicine by Dr. Barthe de Saudfort, who has been experimenting along this line foe ,the last thirteen years. Ambrose Pare fouud that by pour- ing )tot oil in an open wound he was able to sterilize the wound and cause the quicker formation of Natures pro• tective covering—the scrab.

A Successful General Must be the Most Versatile Man in the World. When the man in the street talks of a general commanding an army he generally sends him up as a 'good soldier," and fancies he has said all that need be said about the distin- guished officer. As a matter of dry fact, he has said nothing at all about the general.

But that is only the cap of his knowledge. For instance, he must know quite a lot about the comparative values of food, not only because he must keep his army well fed, but because he has to carry with him the minimum quan- tity to keep his moving army hi a state fo efficiency. He has to know e how many horses can pull how many s wagons of this food, and how many miles they can pull then. He has d oven to compute how much forage those horses will require, and what, will be their daily rate of progress. d • Carrying Ammunition. e Inn the sante way he is a cartage ex- • pert, who knows that it is not how much ammunition his army can fire Off, but how much ammunition ib can carry that counts in the actual battle, and he must know which will be the easiest ammunition to carry, and the i specinl circumstances of its carrriage. Thus, if he is to assault fortifications, he will not carry shrapnel, which is of great use against advancing infan- try, but avails little against concrete bastions, and if the is to face only at- tacking army divisions, he will nob trouble himself much with high ex- e plosive shell, which is used mainly against fortifications. He must also know about the en_ d durance limit of every regiment he e employs, recognizing which regiment 2 can stand the hard grind of heavy marching, which will 'remain stubborn r under the most terrible bombnrdnlent, and which can be used with electric dash at the decisive moment of a charge, Ho must know how to handle leis ar- tillery like 0 muster, not only as a death -dealing, defensive -shattering hl- strummnt, but also it it rti'cct as a coeur. cf destroying iii, nerve of the I men opposing him. A terrific and well -handled bombardment ab the right moment may do more to win the fight for him than a whole day's shelling. All this is knowledge bearing imme- diately on battles. He must possess an immense amount of varied knowl- edge that will enable him to take his army at the pitch of its efficiency into batle. Must be Jack -of -All -Trades. To this end he has to know some- thing about surveying, engineering, bridge -building, road -making, rail- road -laying, telegraphy, fortifications, mining, bhe manufacture and applica- tion of high-power explosives, trench - turning, sanitation, camp, town and barrack planning, plumbing, cooking camp range making, store -keeping, j ballooning, aeroplaning, rough medi-, a cine, first aid, rough surgery, veterin-; o ary, farriery, smith -work, lathe -turn -j e ing, small -arm making, field gun re-; pairing, and a host of other crafts and industries. He has experts to help him, naturally, but he must know something of these things if he is to guide and take advantage of experbs. And when he has fought his battles and defeated his foe he must be an ex- pert in both military and international law, and he must be a good discipli- narian and a good diplomat, boo, for he has to see that he and his country are not over -reached by the diplo- matic skill of their adversary. And, above all, he has to be a hu- man individual, and not a highly -skill- ed machipe, so as to overcome the hu- man element in bhe composition of his enemy, no less than to be humane in victory. - His Alibi. Dr, Barthe de Standfort thirteen years ago took up the old method and has improved upon it. Instead of using oil, which burns the wound, eh used paraffin, which does not burn. Ile discovered this method by plung- ing into paraffin heated to 100 degrees Centigrade. To his surprise he found that his finger was not burned, and that the &icia was rendered insensible to pain. This naturally gave flim the idea of using heated paraffin for the treatment of wounds and ulcers. In his address before the Academy of Medicine Dr. Barthel de Saudfort called his new branch of science "Keritheraple," from the Greek kers, meaning wax. His entire method is based on the ability of tissues to stand a heat of from 50 degrees to 10') de. grees, and particularly on the con - traotibility of paraffin in cooling. This wax, when put on a wound in a liquid state, soldifies around the wound and preserves its heat much longer than any substance which has hat water as a ease. Dr. Bente de Sandfort has added resins to his wax, particularly amber, which gives a greater consistence to the paraffin. Swam in Boiling Wax. . For ten years Dr. Barthe de Saud - fort used his discovery for treatment of diseased arteries, rheumatism, vari- cose veins and similar maladies, and with considerable success. Then he had the idea that if he could treat certain parts of the body the could treat as well the entire body. So to test his theory he himself termed into vat of heated wax and escaped with- ut danger. He thus describes that xperience, "On November 5, 1909," he said, 'I visited the old refinery at Paulin, and to the great astonishment of the manager, who accompanied me. I undressed and prepared to jump into the vat. The temperature in the re- finery was about seven degrees Centi- grade. In the vat, which contained about 300 liters of paraffin, the tem- perature was 51 degrees. I was not burned at all, but when I touched the metal bottom I found it exta'emely hot, and so had to keep swimming all the time, I remained in the vat about five minutes. My pulse had increased appreciably, but otherwise I did not feel the slightest inconvenience. When I climbed out the coat of paraffin which covered me all over protected me from the cold, and even when I had scraped it off I could not feel the temperature." An agent, approaching a house, met a little boy at the garden gate and asked: "Is your mother hone?" "Yes, sir," said the boy, politely. The agent walked across the long awn and, after rapping several times without receiving an answer return- ed to the youth, saying: "I thought you said your mother was at home." "Yes, sir, she is," replied the boy. "But I have rapped several times without receiving an atlswer?" 'That may be ,sir," said the boy, `I don't live there." THE CIGAR TRICK.
