The Herald, 1913-11-21, Page 6Doings in Europe. Lady Grace of Westmore, the beautiful and mysterious Beg'nth suffragist who Went to Berlin a week ago to get L000,000 raeri to saga a petition for "rotes for win men,' hags found German officialdom proof against the strains of her violin and her demure manner. She intended to storm the German mini - ;Seers, inoinding the imperial chancellor, Dr. Aur, von Bethmann-Rollwe , and enlist sir sympathies by methods diametrioal- c o a pp ed 'toho t se employed. by 'Mrs. aukhui 'st, but Lady Grace admits fail. are and .she 'las given up the attempt, The most notable signature she captured was that of Poeoud, the daring French aviator. Lady Grace of 'Westmore, aa elle ie. knawva here, refused to admit her Iden- tity. She admits that neither the name nor the title she le using is hers, but de, olaree she has a right to a higher title. 'she intimates that she is a marchioness and has shown a photograph of Conway Castle ea her ancestral home. Birth Rate Almost Nothing, There le an extraordinary social Phen- omeuon at tfontreaux-les-ndinee, France, where the birth rate has fallen lower in the last three years than in 100 years in the remainder of France. The cause given as the democratic-soelalietio trend of'. thought following two. strikes. The town once had a birth rate of thirty-seven ser thousand. It has now ono per 'thousand. The first strike, againet the mine own- ers' interference with miners' opinions in politics, lasted sixteen days and was de- cided in the miners' favor. Then the municipality became socialietic, and thus rennins. The second str.ke, for an in- crease of fray, was lost after a three months' fight. It ruined the workers, who were obliged to calm ate. Walking as a Punishment. Prof. Roland has Ault devised an In- genious method of punishment fop • unpile who are idle, turbulent or undisciplined. Instead of making them remain in to . 'write lines or do similar tasks, he makes them walk five miles. They are required to produce from their parents a oerti. fixate that the walk has been taken. The profeeeor la so pleaeod with the results obtained that he is recommending his method to other ecboolmaeters. Uskub An Up-to-date Town. It will astonish meet people to learn that the Macedonian town of Use -an, of which the name was prcbably familiar to few until the place wee taken and re- taken by Servians, Turks and Bulgariane. has a system of street lighting by elec- tricity. The installation was almost finished in September last, just before the war broke out, and was completed and put into working order by the engineering stein of the Servian army when the town wee taken. Since that time electric light has been installed in many private houses. Uskub also has a horseshoe works, which was established in 1911, and pro - daces the Turkish as 'well as various other etylee of horseshoes. As soon as settled „ conditions 'prevail again the -works pro- pose to take up the manufacture of wire nails, for which the machinery hae al- ready ben imported from Germany, and of ploughs. King's Tribute to Warrior. When King Alfonso and President Poin- oare were returning by train from Tole- do to Madrid the King noticed a sword that Gen. Lyautey, the French military G vernal. of Morocco, was wearing. "Sure- ly that is a sword with a history. Gener- al,' he said. "It is not of modern de. •sign." It belonged to my grandfather, sir," replied Gen. Lyautey. "Ile was an QiHoer in the army of Napoleon I." The General drew his sword and handed it to the king, who read out slowly the names of the great battles engraved on the blade, sand kissed the blade gravely. ltd then handed bank the sword to Gen. Lyautey, who, deeply touched by the graceful act, saluted and retnrnedit to its scabbard. Buys a Church for 44.20. The old church of .Olairefontaine, juts -6 • outside of Paris, which, although it dates from the eleventh century, was offered for sale eome months ago for the modest sum of -$1, has just ,been sold to an of- ficial of the Public Works Department for 84.20. The old church was falling into ruin and the price of 41 was put upon it because the buyer would have to tear it down and Dart it away, no easy job with the railway line at some distance. About twelve years ago the church was deolared no longer useful for its original purpoee, and the wealthy pariehioners of the village decided to build a new edi- fies. to which were taken most of the rel- ics of the old building—doors, windows and commemorative tablets, even one which reads as ?Plicate: "This churcb was constructed in honor of God and Notre Dame in the year 1100 by Simon, Comte de Montfort, eon of Amaulry the First, who' was the sou of King Robert." The village. kept for itself the entrance of stone in the Roman style, so the buyer, 'who. by the way, was the only bidder, gets only tbo `carcass" of the historic churchfor his 44.20. Avoid 'Obesity in Children. Mothers who are naturally proud of their fine plump babies will be surprised to learn that a fat infant is not neoes- earily a healthy ono. At a medical congreee last week at the Hospital for Sick Children, Paris, pre• sided over by Prof. Netter, Dr. Legendre of the Lariboisiere Hospital, asserted that when an infant becomes fat it is because the nourishment has been perverted from its proper use, probably from the result of hereditary predisposition. "An abnormal condition of the vasou• ler glands frequently leads to obesity in ohildrent the common belief that it is good to give infants as much as they eau eat is wrong," said Dr. Leopold Levi. It only develops infantile obesity, and ]e bad for the ohild. On the other hand, restrieted alimentation is attended with the beet results and muscular exercises are recommended ae a cure for children who have put on too much flesh." Series Embroidery industry. The demand for hand machine embroid. eries is diminishing from year to year In Switzerland, and the time is not far dis- tant when hundreds of "home embroider. ere," owning and operating one or two hand machines, will have to exchange these for the schiffli model. Most of the embroidery schools in the St. Gall district, nine in all, which aim thoroughly to train their pupils in the technique of embroidery manufacture and 'which formerly were uneible to a.ceommo. date all the pupils, report now a bigde. cline in the number of applicatons, claiming that young men ars turning their attention to the schiffli machine. Tho schiffli maoliine has not driven the hand machine out of existence—and that is never to be expected—but has rendered it of minor importance and quite changed the eharaoter of the industryThe Inn dividual olreers of hand machines — the cottage workers have completely lost Control, being reduced to work at stitch wages for the manufaeturers. It is worthy of note that the production oP epeaia]ties, a.nd particularly of metal and artificial elIk embroideries. on sehifrli machines 1s gaining rapidly. This olaes of goods have heretofore alwaye been ex- elusively manufactured on hand machines. • Did it Taste Any Different? "Waiter I" "Yes, /sir," "What is this?" "0, I'm sorry, 'err.

Timely Hints. Home Cleaning ' Hints. --To dry clean a white jersey, rub powdered starch well into the soiled parts, roll up tightly, and leave for two days. Then shake out all starch, and. the jersey will be quite clean. To clean a light-colored costume, take equal parts of oatmeal and whiting, and with a pad of clean white flannel rub well into the ma- terial. Leave for a short time, then shake out and press on the wrong side. To clean a. white lace blouse, rub thoroughly with block magne- sia, leave in an air -tight box for a day, then shake out and press. On Washing Saucepans.- Vhen a saucepan is burnt or blackened, rub the inside with a hard crust of bread dipped in salt, then wash with hot soda and water. Always wash the lid of a saucepan as care- fully as the pan itself, for the flav- or of one dish may cling to it and spoil the next which is cooked in that particular pan. Plane all fish - kettles and saucepans in front of the fire;for a few minutes after washing so that they be thoroughly dried inside. This keeps them in good condition and makes them last longer. jgeant-Major Dula General Fill Veteran of Boer War Who Lost Health on the 'Veldt Tells Experience. Good Advice for All Who Have Indi- gestion or Stomach Disorders, In his home at Waldegrove, no one is better known than Sergt: Major Gross, late of the 4th Queen's Own Hussars. Speaking of the i11 - effects of a campaign upon a man's constitution, the Sergi: Major writes: "I served under General French dur- ing the late Boer war, in the capacity of. Sergt.-Major. It was perhaps ow- ing to a continued diet of bully beef, hard tack, and bad water, but at any rate my stomach entirely gave out. I was in such a state that I could eat nothing without the greatest suffer- ing. The army doctors did not help me much, and since leaving the Ber- yl/se T have been very miserable. Some few months ago a friend told me he had been a great sufferer from indi- gestion until he tried Dr. Hamilton's Pills; they cured him. I confess it was without much faith I bought a box, but the first dose made me feel better. than I had been for a long tithe. Dr, Hamilton's Pills complete- ly cured, and now I can eat every- thing . and anything. I have recom- mended them to others and In every case. the result has been similar to mine." Quick, sure results attend the use of Dr, Hamilton's ills. They cure disorders of the stomach, correct in- digestion, make you feel uplifted and strengthened: To renew or maintain health, Dr. Hamilton's Pills always prove a good prescription. 25c. per box, live boxes for $1.00, all dealers, or the Catarrhozone Co., Buffalo, N.Y„ and Kingston, Ont, - 3 Unreal pleasures are the most expensive. h:* WILL IlitRIGA'TB TILE SA7aAltA. Will Ofen Well With Flow of 8,000 Gallons Per Minute. The Sahara, according •to conn mon opinion, is a land entirely without water, This is far from the truth; in all parts of the region that are inhabited there is plenty of water. The only trouble is to find it; as it lies at an unknown depth below 'the surface. To discover and make available this hidden water supply is the mise Bion of a. corps of artesian well dig- gers which is operating in the south of Algeria, In February one of these engin- eers opened a well for which is claimed the world's record, having a flow of 8,000 gallons a. minute. This is in the oasis of Tonga, about 22 miles west of Biskra. The water of this well ries into a fountain nearly six feet hit'h and forms a small river which will make ib possible to cultivate nearly 8,000 acres. The former record foe Al- geria was 3,400 gallons a minute from a well bored in 1907 in the oasis of Touggourt. In the last 10 years this artesian corps has bored wells producing 46,000 gallons a minute, making 116,000 since the French occupation began. This permits the irrigation of 1,800,000 date palms, in which lies the wealth of Southern Algeria. Out of the Frying Pan.
