• "Three Sewing Hints.
In sewing in hot weather use an
emery "staawberry" frequently.
'Passing thea needle in and out
'through it removes moisture, all
danger of -rust and -insures much
easi
er manipulation. Never allow
a, needle to squeak.
Wax the thread thoroughly be-
fore attempting to stlin.g beads, or
to sew them On any maters
material. Thi
makes the work easier as well as
stronger -and the thread or sewing
silk will never knot.
Instead of binding or felling
seams on lingerie, use narrow lace
insertion, one piece on each -side of
the raw edges; atitch -on both sides
with the sewing machine. Lace
'braids, also the bought, rea,dy-
made lawn folds are admirabler
fo
the purpose and are easy of manip-
ulation.
Useful Mins.
PI one or two- teaspoonfuls of su-
gar are added to turnips when
cooking they will be improved.
Wheii frying eggs try adding a
spoonful of flour to the fart; it will
prevent them from breaking or
sticking -to the pan.
(Chamois leathers should 'be wash-
ed in tean.al water and dried with
the soap nathem; they will then be
nice- and soft. •
To make flypapers, boil linseed
oil with a little resin till it forms a
stringy paste when cold. 'Spread
this on ,paper, using a large brush.
This is inexpensive and maces one
of the best traps for flies.
When making a pie, the juice
from the fruit very often soaks
through the under -crust, and spoils
the appearance of it. This can be
prevented by brushing the under -
mast over with the white of an egg.
To -clean oil paintings peel a. po-
tato ,and halve it. Rub -carefully
over the painting with the flat side.
-Out a new -surface each time the
moisture is exhausted. Sponge af-
terwards with clean tepid water.
Paint marks on glass may he re-
moved by rubbing with a paste of
whitening and ammonia., thinned
with water to- the consistency of
cream. Leave the paste on, and
when it is dry, wash off with soap
and warm water.
A few drops of easter oil will be
found most 'beneficial to drooping
ferns in a pail of water all night.
In a week a marked improvement
will be noticeable.
Before using a new saucepan fill
it with .water with a lump of soda
and some 'potato peelings, and let it
boil tfor some hours. Then wash
ant thoroughly, and all danger
from poisoning from the tinned lilt-
ing will be gone.
Place a week's tea leaves in a
pail. and pouf over them a quart
of boiling water. Leave for one
hour, then .strain and bottle. The
liquor is excellent for cleaning var-
nished wood and linoleum, and,
When -used for cleaning windows or

officers Who Started Their Military
Career as Privates.
That it is quite possible for a
private to rise, step by at*,
throughthe Britieh Army, to the
rank of Geneeal; we ape reminded
by the news of the recent death of
Sir Luke O'Ooninor; who. Was one
of the earliest rankers to do this.
He enlisted in one of the -Welsh
regiments when a young man, wont
through the Crimean War, was
given -a -commission for signah
very and ability, made -a great
dame for himself when he was
awarded the newly -created V.O.
for caring the coloas in action, and
thee rose, until at length caneer
was crowned by his being made a
full general and at knight.
Rut Luke O'Connor was not aetu-
ally the first of these noted rankers
who rose to be -celebrated generals.
Probably Sir John Diley oould
claim that.distinction.
John Riley entered the Army by
enlisting as a private in the Horse
Guards, and he so won the eanfl-
denee and commendation of his su-
periors that 'he was given a com-
mission. In the -end he became a
"Sir," and a full general.
The Duke of Wellington looked
on Utley as one of his cleverest and
most sellable men. Indeed, at
Wate.rloo few of our leadena were
so much trusted and consulted by
Wellington as was General ElleY,
Then we might mention Joseph
Brome, who came Into the Army
as a little drummer -boy. He fought
so well in battle, and displayed
such early evidence of preeocity ma
a soldier and leader, that he was
given aalieutenancy, rose quickly to
higher posts, end -ended his military,
career by. becoming a lieutenant -
genera.
Joseph Brome founded quite a
family of great .sadiers, for sines
his death both his son and his
grandsoa have become generale.
In our own days we 'had General
Hector Macdonald, whose tree°
career is too well known to need
revisiot. Enough to- mention here
that Uttedenald entered a High-
land regiment, showed himself so
brave and able in battle that, when
offered the choice a a V.0. or a
commission, he chose the latter,
and then roee quickly to the
heights he attained during the
South African campaign.
Also we must not forget William
McBean, perhaps the greatest rival
"Micky" O'Leary has had amongst
soldiers of past days as the "one-
man attacker" of an army. At
Lueknow Mama with, his own
hand, killed eleven of the mutineere
in single combat. After receiving a
commission in due GOUTS° he was
promoted tial he at last found him-
self General W. McBean.
It its dharacteristic of the tool
way he had of looking at things
that, in response to the congratu-
lations of his captain at his feat
just described,he answered:
"Tut, tht, sir! Why, the whole
job didna, tak' me twenty ineternits!"
