Russia Prepares for Winter Preparation for winter ie more noticeable in Russia than in most countries where the winters are milder. Double windows are brought down from the attic, put in and care- fully calked with a kind of putty. The space between the two window -sashes at the bottom has several inches of sand laid to keep out all the drafts possible, and it is covered with dif- ferent colored moss. We had in our woods the loveliest moss—pale silver, russet browns and many shades of green that kept their colors all win- ter and were a link between us and the snow -bound world. In cities where moss is not at hand, thick lay- ers of cotton batting are placed, same - times brightened by clippings of tin- sel or colored paper or everlasting flowers strewed over the cotton. While the housewives are thus getting the homes protected, the police in towns and the headmen in villages are thinking of travelers. As the snow falls and lakes and rivers freeze, they take measures. Young spruce trees are firnsly planted in the ice at con- venient distances in two parallel rows marking the road. This is a vital precaution in view . of the terrible dark blizzards that are to be expected -1-blizzards so dense that once they caused my husband and the coachman, in the middle of the day, to flounder for hours in the drifts on the lake m front of our house, unable to find the turn. On land, long wisps of twisted straw tied to trees and fences, or, in the open country, little trees were again planted. The severe climate made warmth the chief objective in all building operations. . The Russian stove is therefore the center and most con- spicuous .feature of the interior of the house. The huge brick oven in which all cooking, as well as baking, is done is SQ built as to heat the ,wihole of the large compartment. The many turns—forty or fifty, 1 ba- lieve--that the flue makes before the smoke reaches the other chimney in- sures every particle of heat being retained. The hot-air chamber is closed as soon as the fire has burned out the dangerous fumes, and we have a huge brick construction before us with a flat "roof" reached by two or three steps built in the side, The stove is warm — the "roof" most comfortingly so, and this platform, some eight feet by six at least, piled with sheepskin, coats, quilts, pillows, etc., is sleeping...Aace, warming -place and comfort for the !whole family.— Emma Cochran Ponafidine, in "Rus- sia—My • Home," (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill.) • • MUTT ANI) JEFF-- By BlJD FISHER I'VG.

Clean unleached wood ashes con- tain. from 4 to 6 per cent. (or even higher), of potash, with 1 to 2 per cent. of phosphoric acid and 35 to 40 per tent. •of lime. In addition to their value as a eource of potagh, wood ashes are of value to acid soils through their con- tent of lime which lessens the acidity of eolls to which they are applied.

Changed World Thinking Named in Bir mingham Talk , Birnaingham, Eng. — Persons wIs change false thinking are potentia factors In the world, Lady Astor poin ed out in a. recent address to the Birt mingliam. Federation of Universiti, Women, Her subject was the evolui{ tion and progress of women in the last 100 years. "In the nineteenth century," shit said, "there were three women wile changed the thinking of the world,' The first orthese, Lady Astor said was Florence Nightingale; the second was Josephine Butler, who laid down the idea of the equal moral standard;' and the third was Mary Baker Eddy,' the Discoverer and Founder of Chris- tian Science, "These three women did their wocrls( more or less simultaneously in about the '60's and we today are the bettei for their having lived and havingl striven in that very difficult timee Then came Mrs. Fawcett and Mrs) Pankhurst," Lady Astor said, "and all those who fought for women's suf. • frage. , She had teen proud also to be the first woman M.P. in England, she {led, clared, and said she had stood for th6 women's point of view. Dealing with the question of women in industry, Lady Astor pointed ou that in 12 years the number of wome in industry in England had increased from 6,000,000 to 6,000,000 and the' number of married women from 693,.'. 000 to nearly 1,000,000. 1 Another cause which Lady Astoe pleaded was that of open-air uursery; schools. It had been proved, she said, that they could reduce the 27 per cent's? of defectives among children of school age to seven per cent, and it was far more rational, and a far better invest), ment for the country, to spend money) on nursery schools than to raise large, sums of money for extending hospiJ, tals.

Arriving at Jamaica Paskes was denied entry, because jamaicq has a law which holds that dogs from( soil other than English are undesirt able aliens, So Lady Hatfield ships' ped Paska to New York and went oa to South America.
