The Ladies' Home Journal patterns shown herewith are excellent for the purpose. Pattern No. 8804 is a Ladies' and Misses' Single-breasted Box -coat, having a notch collar, full-length sleeves with turn -back cuffs, and is made with or without patch pockets. Sizes 82 to 42, 36 requiring 2% yards of 42 -inch ma- terial. The Skirt to go with it, No, 8938, is made in three gores, opening in front and having slightly raised waistline and with or without the, knife. This will prevent their split- ting whet cooking. When preparing rhubarb dip each stalk, into boiling water. This will not -injure it, and it will require less sugar in cooking.

Old brass may be cleaned to look like new by pouring strong ammonia on it and scrubbing with a brush. Rinse in clear water, • To get onion juice, slice off the root end and proceed to put half of the onion as you would, half a lemon in the juice extractor.. If the stains on a dirty mackintosh will not come off with brushing take a raw potato, cut it in two, and rub the soiled parts with it. Washing fabrics that are inclined to fade should be soaked' and rinsed in very salt water to set the color be- fore washing in suds. To remove paint and varnish stains from woodwork, apply Javelle water by means of a brush. Repeat if ne- cessary and rub with a cloth. When grease is spilt on the kitchen table or floor pour cold water on it at once to prevent it soaking into the wood. It will quickly harden and can be lifted with a knife. To prevent the juice running out of a fruit pie make a roll of clean paper, hold it upright, and insert it through the crust. The steam then escapes, and the juice remains in the pie. The flavor of an apple pie may be improved by sprinkling the fruit with lemon juice after it is filled into the. crust. Then cover with tiny pieces of butter, and add sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon. For white spots on furniture hold a hot stove lid over the spots and they will soon disappear. They can also be removed by applying spirits of camphor or ammonia. Always scrub the way of the grain of the wood. Have plenty of clean warm water. Only scrub so far as the arum can reach at a time, then wash and dry that part. Change the water as soon as it is dirty. Do not use more water than is necessary to clean the boards. When scrubbed clean rub the boards well with a clean flannel wrung out of clean wa- ter, and then dry with a dry cloth, rubbing the way of the grain. After scrubbing wash the brush immediately and hang up to dry, so as to harden the fibres. To clean old glass pour strong am- monia on it, scrub well with a brush, and rinse in clean water.

Electrified Wires Kill Animals—Bad Boys Make Good. The number of special constables in the London Metropolitan area is 32,617. The speed limit for motor -cars at the front is twenty-five miles an hour, and it is one of the duties of the mili- tary police to see that the speed is not exceeded. Rheims holds the record of being the most heavily bombarded town in France, having been bombarded on 288 occasions. "Two men with a machine-gun," a very distinguished British general has said, "can hold up a brigade" (6,000 men). A. sentry never gives up his rifle to anyone—not even to his general, no matter' how persistently the latter may demand it. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens have been killed in such numbers by the electrified wires protecting the Dutch -Belgian frontier that the Ger- man. soldiers have had to set to work to bury them. The shrapnel that the enemy is using is filled with the most extra- ordinary collection of scraps of every- thing likely to hurt. Nuts, bolts, scraps of iron, even marbles and chips of flint are common. No fewer than 19,648 boys who hai*e received their training in Re- formatory and Industrial Schools in Great Britain have served during the war in the naval or military forces. Three of them have won the Victoria. Cross. The high explosive favored by the Austrians is called . ecrasite. The se- cret of its composition is known to only two men, who are natives of that . country. It is an explosive of particularly destructive power against forts and earthwork. The Italian private soldier's pay is small --three cents a day—but he is well foil. Besides ordinary rations he gets plenty of fruit and macaroni and other Italian dishes he loves so well. Cigars are regularly served out to him, and often also wine.
