Part milk: used in mixing bread i.nt'proves both flavor and quality. Every household should have a plentiful supply of apples for .win- ter. Tie a knot of red ribbon on scis- sors and keys if you want to Sind them easily.. Celery leaves should always be s'a'ved—even dried, if necessary—to use in soup. ' Never pant much sugar in bread; it i=s only used at a•II. to help the yeast to ferment. A japanned tray can be freshen- ed with two coats of. white paint and a finish of enamel. To make an old fowl tender, rub the bird all over with lemon julce, then wrap in buttered paper, and -steam for two or three hours, ac- cording to size. By adding soda before heating it, milk on the 'verge of souring may be scalded and used .for blanc mange or rice or tapioca pudding or ecuasb pies, To clean white buckskin and chamois .shoes, try lump magnesia.

When. bedrooms are small, and trunks and hat -boxes have to be pil- ed tip in corners, it .is a good plan to get four b.lo•eks of wood all the same size, and to make a. groove in.' each for the casters to fit in. T1iis raises the bed, and .all trunks and hat boxes may be put under the bed, giving more room for moving about. To peeserve a paper document, piottires'or a letter, dip theist in a strong solution of alum water, dry- ing thoroughly. If the paper is very thick, repeat the ,process.

To protect the finger -nails when doing rough and dirty work, rub them over with a piece of soap, and when you wash your hands after the task the soap will coarse out, Gar= dening work and blacking the stove are not so disastrous if this is done. When you have a. receipt that calls for baking a custard or other delicate egg pudding, which may curdle, try cooking it in this way : Put the baking dish into a steaneer on the top of a stove, until it is so- lid, and put it into the oven only long enough to brown it. A method Which is said to be very good for removing all the cream from milk contained in a bottle or like vessel is to use 'a large round disk of rubber Which takes a slight- ly concave sharps, it being hung upon three light aluminum rods • or wires. Slipping the disk in ,edgewise and below the surface, it then takes the fiat .position and can be drawa out with all the cream. DRAKE'S DRUM. It Hangs in the hall at Buckland Palace. Will Drake's drum be beaten now for the- third time? In the 'great hall at Buckland Abbey in Devon- shire, a few miles from Plymouth,— the ancestral home of the family of Sir Francis Drake,—there hangs :an ancient drum of a pattern not known these hundred years. It is the famous drum of the great Eng- lish sea fighter, his companioon throughout ,his whole adventurous career. It beat the signals on his flagship when he • scattered ' the Spanish Armada; it went with him onthe e firstBritish ta,sh ship that Went 'hound 'the world, and it sounded the, taps when, after his death at sea in the West Indies, his body was com- -initted to the waters of the Atlan- tic Ocean. When Drake lay dying, So runs the tradition, he commanded his brother, who was a •captain of one of the ships in the British fleet, to take his drum back to England, and hang it in his hell at Buckland Abbey. Whenever danger threat- ened Brittain let :them sound on that drum, and his spirit would enter into the British .admiral and scatter his country's foes as he had done in 'the days gone by. His. brother did as. he was commanded,',. and af- ter three centuries the drum still hangs in Buckland Abbey, which is now in ithe possession of a descend- ant of Drake's brother. Twice, runes the legend, has the drum been sounded—and ' not in vain; once, in the 'generation after Drake's death, when the Dutch sought to wrest the oontrol of the seas from ,the British, and the doughty Admiral van Tromp sailed up the British Channel with ,a broom .at his mas'he'd, to signify that he would sweep the Englisch from the ocean. At- its sound the spirit of Drake entered into Ad- miral Blake, who triumphed over the conquering Dutch. Again, when the genius of Napoleon threatened the very existence of the British Empire, the drum was sounded, and Drake's spirit ani- mated the greatest of English sea fighters—Admiral Nelson. And now, when Britain is in- volved in ,the greatest war of her history, it is said that Drake's • d.rum will again be sounded -=to raise up, if the legend be true, the 'spirit of the old captain for the third time, The old tradition is the subject Of a poem by an English writer, . Henry Newb:olt. The poem makes the great sea fighter, dying in his berth, exclaim: 'Take my drum to England, Hang et' by the shore,, Strike et when your powder's runnin' low; If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit the port o' heaven An' drum thein up the Channel as we drummed them long ago•. 44 Willie—Say, teacher, to -morrow's my birthday.

In- stead it is fastened in the front and 'it is loos,e enough to stand up with- out wire's. It is edged with fur and so are the fronts of -the pink chiffon blouse, and the fur is put on with a band of narrow black .silk braid. It is decidedly smart, this use of fur and braid together. The • skirt scalloped about the edge is an aeceepted thing now, and it is as -attractive as it is usual. It breaks the full line about the ankles and makes the shorter skirt less ab- rupt in its ending. Short Eton effects of lace on chif- fon blouses are decidedly becoming. The little. jackets usually fall over ade t i 1 of some � e gdeer dedh s ads — orange, ,green or bright ,blue velvet, Wide silk braid is noticeable on many of the new French importa- tions. ,Sometimes it is used for belts, drawn through straps of the faibric of the frock, sometimes it is used for ,patch pockets. It is form- ed into upstanding collars and deep cuff's, and it even forms the edge of tunics .and of the foundation skirts beneath t'henm. Black velvet ribbon is one of the minor features of the fashions. Sometimes it is worn about the throat, tied in a bow, with a long end or loop reaching to be caught in another bow on the front of the bodice. For a child there are seal muff and hat sets, trimmed with red or pink roses—one on the hat, one on the muff, both -bright and cheerful. There are many sleeves of white net, rather full, gathered into a narrow wristband in dark serge and satin bodices. These give a touch of daintiness that is essential in woman's dress. • • Leaves are twisted, one stem about another, around the crown of a black velvet Spanish sailor' hat. A child's hat of black velvet has six or eight strands of white and red beads about the crown, finished on one side with a red bead rose. A velvet hat has about the crown a band of beaver .fur, with three tailored bows of inch -wide silver ribbon tilted smartly at the edge of the brim.. Ostrich is used as a trimming on many of the new blouses. Short flues are used as a fringe to edge flaring :collars and cuffs of organel or satin or silk. It is a decidedly soft and effective means of trim- ming. .Ruffs of fur and tulle are among the new things offered for the eon- templation and envy of smart wo- manhood. There is .a high standing tulle ruching flaring upward from a rather narrow, snug collar of fur that clasps snugly about the throat. A New Recruit. He was a new recruit, and the first days of parade he was mustered up along. with a, 'batch of other re- cruits to do drill. "Attention," thundered the sergeant. "Shoul- der arms! Right about turn ! The whole lot of sten had performed their drill satisfactorily with the exception e ton of one, who had ov ed a muscle, Thsergeant was mad with rage, and going up to the new recruit, caught him by the neck and shook him, asking if he was deaf. "No, .sir," carne the answer. "Then why the dickens didn't you turn when I shouted right about turn'?" "Please, ,sir, I'm left-handed." A WARM WINTER.

EE fl E OR)C L Chi A:MMMJ RICAN IS JMPRESSED BY .BRITAIN'S ,DIGNITY. Frederick Palmer Says Nation, with Patience and. •Endurance, will Win.. Frederick Palmer, the famous American war correspondent, trans a series of vivid 'sketches of Britain in war time in Everybody's Maga- zine. He says Every non -soldier Briton has two. minds: One is attending to the thing in -nand, whether it be his business to sew on buttons or to run a bank, He must aew on the buttons well or he array lose his place. He must watch his bank Well under the greatest financial strain in history. The other mind is with Sir John Jellicoe's fleet in the North Sea and with the allied troops. It is .asking what if—what if Britain should lose command of the sea ? What if the German army should reach Paris again ? What if ! Telepathy exchanges , the thought- between all men and wo- men. They do not say it aloud. They go on thinking to them- selves, "We muddle along," .and saying so rather proudly in expres- sion of the calm way they have of doing things. An individual may have dignity often; a nation only on great occasions. Britain 5' a nation has dignity now, in this ter- rible ordeal of spirit. After all, a nation is only an as- semblagc of units; and every unit in Britain—Irish, Welsh, Scotch, English—feels as you may have felt if ever one near .:and dear to you were in danger and all you possess- ed were at stake. In that event,,. didn't, you make an exalted. ear- nest point of appearing perfectly natural; of saying '`Good morning" alt the breakfast table in the usual tone and passing the time of day with a neighbor, and of keeping ,at your work with particular concen- tration in order to drive that haunt- ing "What if" out of mind, and to give courage and fortitude to those around you ? Spartan Women. That middle-aged Englishwoman talking to another in the hotel re- ception room on all kinds, of petty topics, when any hour a war edi- tion may ttell her that her son has died on the field of honor, empha- sizes it pretty well; but not so poignantly as that young bride, a typical English •country girl, come up to London with her young hus- band, who may get his orders any minute. She tries to appear there in the dining -room as if they •had been married for, some time .and to en- joy the favorite dishes he has or- dered, though every mouthful sticks. in her throat. But she is not going to break down when he leaves. No. She might if he were to be away on a business trip in comfortable, hotels in the States for six months, but not when he is going out to face bullets in a supreme struggle. She seems too frail to be Spartan. She is simply a shy .country girl, prizing a gold band on her finger, who expresses the spirit of Britain. And she speaks the language in which Magna. Charta and the Con- stitution of the United States are written. Writing of Belgium's heroic part in the war, Mr, Palmer says : The Iia.i:ser promised. neutrality; he promised to let Belgium keep the deed to her house in return for al- lowing the imperial steam -railer to be moved through. If any Be,ig ,an would have liked to accept the offer for the sake of peace, mule thought of.doing so, because ---there is the plain truth—they were sure that the' Kaiser was lying. Sucla is the opinion which his neighbors- have of TWildianr. This American observer is an op- timist. He. ;has no doubt how the war will end. I hazard that a Germany which has got only to Amiens by Septem- ber 1—the day set for the fall of Paris—is .a losing Germany ; a Ger- many that by Ootohcer 1 has not taken Paris and demoralized the French army, unless the Austrians defeat the i:Zussiams, is a beaten Germany, particularly when the British talk of a long war and re- fer tto the patient endurance of Abraham Lincoln, and the resolute resistance of Lee, and th,e c:etermi- nation 'of Grant before.
