Household Hints.
Never cook vegetables in an iron
kettle.
If a cake cracks open while bak-
ing, there is loo much flour in it.
Bulbs grown in fibre in the house
should he kept moist, but not wet.
Soakinc in cold water makes the
washing of all garments much
easier.
Oil, lemon juice and salt are the
ideal dressing for the everyday
salad.
Make enough corn meal mush one
day to serve for three or four if
fried.
When a vegetable has lost its
firmness, :soak it. in very cold wa-
ter until it is crisp and plump.
If boiling milk is poured on the
beaten eggs when making bread
custard. it will bake very firm.
A scrubbing brush nailed upside
down to the floor of the back porch
is an excellent shoe scraper.
A pinch of baking soda put into
the water when cooking tough meat
or fowl will make it tender.
It is said that Hamburg steak can
be creamed exactly as dried beef is,
and that. 7t is really delicious.
A good test in(loosing beef is to
press it with the thumb; if it rises
quickly, it is of good quality.
In the sick room, it is much more
pleasant for the patient if the medi-
cine bottles are kept out of sight.
Tay frying fish in fat that has
been saved from former frying; the
flavor will be veru much improved.
Grape fruit is delicious served on
lettuce leaves with a little olive oil
-in fact, one of the best spring
tonics.
Boiled puddings should never be
turned out the moment they are
done. They are very likely to break
if this is done.
Dampen the wrinkled spot on a'
ribbon and wrap it around a clean
lighted electric bulb and it will be
perfectly smooth.
An ordinary rolling pin is an ex-
cellent thing to keep veils fresh.
Cover the pin with a bit of soft
white flannel.
• Fine damask linen needs no
ebarc'h. If sufficiently damp and
ironed until dry, it will 'have all the
necessary dressing.
A good fruit fling for a cake is
made of one orange peeled and cut
fine, a can of pineapple and :three
bananas, sliced thin: Drain and put
between two layehs •of cake.
A delicious orange sauce is, made
with two tablespoonfuls of from

gar, add •one-half pint of boiling
water, 'bring to a l.ioil. and add the
juice of an c -range and half the grat-

PENSIONS FOR SOLDIERS.
British Commons Committee Make
its Report.
A special committee of the British
House of Comm`ans, which has been
considering the matter of pensions
for fighting men and their widows,
has at last made its report, recoh
mending largely increased rates for
all classes of pensioners. The new
rates. if approved by Parliament
are to. take effect March 1.
Under the new se-heme the rate
for total disablement will be ,`"a6.=25
a week, with an additional allow-
ance of 63 cents a week .for each
child. In case of partial disable-
ment, the soldier is to receive
"such amount stie with the wages
which the man may be deemed capa-
ble of ''earning will amount to $6.25
a • week," with a• discretionary al-
lowance not exceeding 63 cents a
week -for each child,
All the committee's recommenda-
tions show about a hundred per
cent. increase over the rates in ef-
fect prior to the war.
A widow without children is to• re-
ceive from $2.50 to $3.75 a. week;
if there are children, this amount
is substantially increased.
The allowance for wives whose
husbands .are at the front is in--
crease4 to a, rate from $3.15 a week
for those who ase 'childless to $6.25
a week for the. mother of four chil-
dren.
The question of pensions to offl-
oers will probably bb- dealt with
later by the committee. At pre -
.sent the widow -of a flag officer, cap-
tain or commodore is given $coo a
year, with an allowance of about
$100 a year additional for each.

Every home should be surrounded
by a. beautiful and artistic yard.
Few will argue against this feet, but
there is considerable divergence of
opinion as to the best way to make
the yard beautiful.
In the ease of country places the
house is the outstanding feature in
the beautifying of the yard because
on all sides there is ample land,
and the primary- idea is to make., a
picture that delights not only the
inmates of the home but also the

Houses of different architectural
styles, must be treated in decidedly
different manners. For instance,
the formal house should be sur-
rounded by natural things in geo-
metrical patter is—straight walks,
formal shaped shrubs, square corn-
ers, etc., while the more imposing
type of building should be accom-
panhed with flower beds, shrubs,
trees and winks of such a design as
to carry out the style of the house
as far as possible.
Now is the time to plan your gar-

recommends the following especial-
ly prepared fertilizer
Superphosphate of lime .. 12 parts
Nitrate of potash 10 parts

His advice is to apply this mix-
ture . in March at the rate of one-

To protect Hybrid Tea Rases over
winter each rose. bush should be
covered with, six or `eight inches of

In Spring the bush may be pruned

Dahlias beeau-o of their bright

nothing to equal it in September or
October, -when everything else is

warm, covering the neck ,about
three inehes. If many 'shoots start,
thin out. Plants should be taken
up before hard frost in the fall,

Y.C. Winner Gets a Special Clasp.
An Unusual honor.
Lieut. Arthur Martin -Leake, of
the Royal Army Medical Corps, has
been awarded a clasp, to the Vic-
toria Cross, an extremely unusual
honor.
Lieut. Martin -Leake won the Vic-
toria Cross in the South African
war, and the clasp has been given
him for "most conspicuous bravery
and devotion to duty throughout
the campaign, especially during the
period from Oct. 29 to Nov. 8, near
Gonnebeke, in rescuing, while ex-
posed to a, constant fire, alarge
number of wounded who were lying
close to the enemy's trenches."
Lieut. -Col. E. W. Alexander, of
the R.F.A., has been awarded the
Victoria Cross for saving his guns
at Elouges, Belgium, *hire under' a
flank attack, and for rescuing a
wounded man awhile under a heavy
fire.
Among others who. have received
the Victoria Cross are Drummer'
Wm. Kenney, for rescuing men on
five occasions while under fire, and
twice saving machine guns by car-
rying them out of action; Lieut. J.
A. O. Brooke, of the Gordon High-
landers., Capt, John Franks Valle-

whom were killed, for leading at-

llIAEING BIG GUNS..
first Stages of the Process Provide
a Fascinating Spectacle.
A fascinating, sight is to isatelt
t}ie first stages in the manufacture
of the big guns which are proving so
devastating in the war, A solid in-
got of steel, some e0 feet in length
and weighing ahem 103 tons, is em
ployed in the making of a, 13 -inch
gun. After being forged and then
allowed to cool, 1-0 that it may be
toughened for the heavy work, this
gigantic bar ;-f steel ie preeeed into
cylindrical shape by a, porker by -
draulie press, which exerts a pre'
sure of anything between 5,003 and
10,00(1 tons to the square inch. 1.:a
ter what is known as the trepanning
operation is carried out, namely
drilling the bore from end to end.
Next the bore is rifled.
The most impressive right, hew -
ever, is the hardening process, when
the rough weapon is heated to thee
zling white heat and plunged into as
well full of oil. If the operati,v)i
takes place in the night time tht-
sight of this big, glowing bar c,f
metal being lowered apparently in
to the bowels of the earth, issuing
leaping tongues of flames from the
burning oil, may he likened to a
m Bent' from Dante's "Inferno." The
gun is left t.0 cool in the oil bath.
out of wliic.h it, comes hardened.
toughened and tempered.
Now follows the wire winding
operation to make the weapon
stronger and impart to it route imii
sure of elasticity. This wire -wind
ing is much elle Maine in lhriueiple
as the whipping. on the handle of a,
cricket bat. In this case, however,
the whipping takes the f<'rnl of a
strong steel ribbon, which is wound
around the body of the gitn, Ex cry
13 -inch gun has about 120 miles of
this steel ribbon wound about it.
Some idea of the labor involved io
the manufacture of one of these
guns may be gathered from the fact
that from start to finish the time
occupied is 15 months.
