Yet its uses are many. To begin with, it is the hest and cheapest disinfectant and de- odorizer—meother words, charcoal is the best known' disease-cretching- preventer and smell -ender. The smell of cabbage water is not nice. A lump of charcoal in the saucepan prevents all odor, You may be afraid that the joint, or a piece of fish may go bad. Simply lay pieces of charcoal on them, and they will keep perfectly fresh, If, say, the fish has manifestly "gone," cook it just the same, but place in the fish saucepan two or three pieces of oharcoal. The fish will be as good as if but just caught. A wire gauze or muslin bag, filled with charcoal, and hung in the ler- der, will keep that important place perfectly sweet. A wardrobe which smells of clothes, and makes a bed- room s'tuffy, can be made all right if two or three little bags of char- coal are hung from the hooks. Jugs or any other vessels which have a nasty sreell—and'-nasty smells her- ald diseases—can at once be made sweet if rinsed with powdered cher- coal and water. Favorite Recipes.

Emery paper is useful for bright- ening meat and patty tins, etc. Celery may be freshened by being left over night in a solution of salt and water. Always empty out any water left before filling the kettle. Frequent- ly the flat taste of tea is caused by using water that has already been boiled, When baking potatoes grease them first with a little butter, aid when cooked they will be beauti- fully brown and crisp, with the glazed appearance that make them so appetising. An apple pie made without the upper crust is a pleasing change. Line the pie plate and bake the un- der crust; fl11 with apple sauce, seasoned to taste and cover the top with whipped cream.

By this time two other eases of podium had broken open, and their con- tents, as they came in contact with the water from the hose, burst into flames. The crew eoukl not believe their eyes. The more water they poured on, the fire, the more intense grew' the conflagration. Then suddenly two cases flew into the air, crashed against the overhead beams, and spread out in sheets of fire, the smaller pieces dropping baok only to bounce and dance about, hot balls of flame, in the half -swamped hold. Panic-stricken, the crew dropped the hose lines and lied above decks. But the captain ordded the cargo flung into the sea, and led his men ence. The napkins, doilies, 'lunch back into the hold. They emceed - cloths, etc., may be laid out on it ed in throwing several of the cases in neat separate piles. overboard, But as each ease hit the waves, it rebounded 'into the air, a flaming ball. The superstitious crew was fast hemming unmanageable, and the captain saw that, in any case, he must abandon the ship. He order- ed the -crew to the boats not one moment too soon, for as the boats rowed away from the blazing hulk, several kud explosions came from the hold. Then there was one mighty detonation; the freighter broke two, and plunged out of sight. The origin of the fire was, of course, in the sodium. Sodium is a peouliar metal, which oxydizee ra- pidly when water touches it, and flames as soon as the water becomes warm. According to the chemist's classification, it is the secend mem.- ber of the alkali group Wet in- cludes lithium, potassium, rubidiura and caesium. All of these elements have the sa.me charaeteristics as sodium in greater or less degree. The sodium should have been ship- ped in hermetically sealed tin cans enclosed in wooden cases. But the rolling of the ship and the oareless stowing of the cargo broke open some of these eases, and the sodi- um, which was not properly pecked, was libera—ted—.

Mineral Water and Sodium Make a Bad Combination. In nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, water, if applied in sufficient quantity, wilr eventually quench any fire. But the thousandth case, when water not only proves ineffectual, but ac- tually kindles and nourishes the fire, is a perfectly possible occur- rence. The Boston Herald prints an account of all extraordinary fire at sea that shows how helpless is man in fighting the flames when de- serted by his ally, water.
