This is thought to be due to the disinfectant pro,perties of linseed oil which is found in lino- leum. To prevent woollen garments from shrinking hang them out on -the line quite wet. They should on no account be wrung in any way. 'Simply take them from the water and hang them out as they are, be- ing careful not to pull 'the garment out of shape with the pegging.

Narrow Escape Repudiated. A tourist, travelling in the Rocky Mountain's, was introduced to an old hunter who elairn,s to have kill- ed no lower than 100 bears. "Bill," said the introducer, "this fellow wants to hear some narret escapee you've had from bears." The old man, rubbing his eyes, looked the stranger over and said: "Young man, if there's been any narrer escapes, bhe beans had MUST WASTE SHELLS, _ --- Accounts Fen' IlearY Expenditure of Ammunition• ' Lieut. -Col, Boiss,onet, of the French Army, explains, in the Tem,ps some of the many reasons which make spendthrift artillery one of 'lien ne,eeceesery factors of vit- t-cry, weapon11aclrrerh5",in a,of fj4.2,veilottpreosion u b oven, elterinectwitiognu,n aalrrei:the eeaEhe great in number paid-nit shots from A diseance tei 3,000 mis- tees the ,eihells will be found to have fallen within a recline of ninety-2ex meters and half the sh-eitils will have fallen in a 'strip of ,shout twenty-four meters, The gunner, there:foxes, has to regulate hie fire so that the object libiertedi at will be in, the centre of this most thickly cowered strip, a task Which against trenehee, even after iberopla,ne,reeenneissance, requires ,considerable expenditure of am- munition, and when, it is rerniembier- ed that the trench itself is not much more than a yard or so wide it will be realized -that for every three or four shell's which burst in the trench there are a vast, nuerther which explode before it or behind it. The need foe heavy shell expendi- ture against t.renehee is already great, but it will become mere urg- ent alter the siege period is over a,nd real field fighting • again becomes possible, when the artil- lery will have not the fixed target of the trench line but the thin mo- bile ranks of skirinielhers as its ob- jective, ' Against moving infantry, unless it is' 'advancing ha close fo-rmation, regulated fire is a matter of sonic difficulty. Infantry which finds it- self between the Arse shell- which has burst behind them and the short shell which has burst in front of eltem do not await the avalanche which is -to follow, but rush rapid- ly forward beyond the first ehort shell, where they fling themselves to the ground under what coker they can find. The artillerymen know that ethey are -somewhere in, the neighborhood, and to begin again the fir de, reglage• would only be, a lots of time, eo that the only thing foe the artillery to do is to shorten its range by 100 yards or en and sweep with shrapnel the Whole of the zone where they imagine the enemy's infantry to be. A battery of "75" guns fires no lees than eighty shells a min -'ate, and it is only with rapid, intense fire that the shrapnel fragments can sweep a, whole 0011Iltrysidie and break the enemy'l attack, The same thing appliee when the artil- lery is' taking part in sin offensive. They 'hictive to cover Cy, whole zone of the enemy's front with a SILOWELT of shells, forcing the geinners eck take shelter and pinning the in- fantry to the' ground while their , own troops are advancing to the at- ta,ek.
