SMART SIMPLICITY FOR SCHOOL.
With the opening school days, the
young ladies will all have to be pro-
vided with suitable clothes for the
Fall semester. 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.
To prevent blue from streaking
clothes, mix one dessertspoonful of
soda in the bluing water. Baking
soda, of course.
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-

NOTES OF THE BIG WAR.
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.

orders and distinctions, from that of
the Black Eagle to the silver signal
service medal, on more than 500 civi-
lians. The list includes the names of
shoemakers, tailors, doctors, chemists,
nurses, mechanics, teachers, and
scores of other workers throughout
Germany.
It is reported - from Northern
France that the Germans are using a
metal -destroying liquid. It consists
of a mixture contained in a cylinder
under high pressure. By simply turn-
ing a screw the liquid can be thrown
a few feet against barbed wire, which
burns through more quickly than
wire -cutters could possibly sever it.
Boycott German. Goods.
The entire membership of the House
of Representatives of the Federal
Parliament, the legislative body of
the Commonwealth of Australia, has
pledged itself never again to pur-
chase German goods.
If the wind is in the right direction
a sort of cold smell gives sailors warn-
ing of the proximity of an iceberg.
A motor -car fitted with a horn,
which warned pedestrians of its ap-
proach by playing, "We w'on't go
home till morning," was heard in
London not long ago.
