THa GUIDES" OF INDIA.
Famous and splended Corps-Tho
Regimental Spirit.

A Famous and splended Corps-The
Regimental Spirit.
Before 1895 our frontier post was
"Mardan, where the Guides
are" Here, ever since its foundation,
that famous and splendid corps has
been quartered in the intervals Of
campaigns which have consistently
added to the luster OF its record, says
q. w. Stevens in the London Mail.
The only corps in India, except the
Gurkha battalion, which has perma-
nent quarters, the Guides have made
Mardan less of station than a regi-
mental home. Here are its family
heirlooms-the mess-walls covered
with heads of buffalo and ibex, ante
lope and mountain sheep, with ban
ners taken from the enemy, and queer
Greco-Buddhist statuary excavated
out Of the neighboring hills. Here is
the regimental cemetery-full now
and overflowing into new one-and
an arch and little garden tardily
created by government to the mem
ory of the handful of the corps who
died at post round Cavagnari in Ka-
bul. Also the little swimming bath
in the officers garden, the fort with
sentries of many types-here a Sikh,
there an Afridi, Gurkha, Rajput,
a Dogra-for Gods Own" is composed
of the pick of all the fighting races
OF India. In enormous long white
trousers Sepoys and Sowars walk
placidly about their home and the
home OF their fathers; for the fight
ing native puts down his young son
for the Guides as you might at home
for the Travellers. You come across
a native officer of forty-two years
service-straight away to before the
mutiny-a smiling. little old gentle
man, whose dyed beard only just
matches the mahogany Of his skin.
He regrets, politely, that the Guides
were not able to appear at Omdurman,
and remarks, as an incentive to my
future efforts, that he himself saw a
war correspondent killed at Landakai.
Every officer or man you meet has
the air of gentleman taking his ease
in his own house. Mardan Is the con-
crete epitome of the spirit that makes
regiment-the only satisfactory
translation I ever met of the words

a Good Rule With LinoIeum.

Linoleum should never be touched
with either soap or scrubbing brush.
Have it well wiped over with soft
flannel cloth and warm water, drying
it carefully with another clean cloth.
Skim milk IS also very good thing to
wash it with, as it gives it the gloss
you wish for. The great rule is to
wash linoleum as seldom as possible
unless you use skim or sour milk for
the purpose, and every now and then
polish it with linseed oil or occasion
ally with beeswax and turpentine
furniture polish. Kept in this way it
will both look nicer and wear infinite.
ly better, for scrubbing wears it out
and too much water rots it.

ting up a three-cornered shelf about
SIX feet from the floor in one corner

LARGEST KITCHEN IN WORLD.
3uilt by George " at Windsor Castle
in 1928.

The last of the works of the much
maligned George ". to be mentioned
eere is the enlarged and improved
royal kitchen (at Windsor castle). 1t
stands-perhaps the largest single
kitchen in the world-on ground where
royal kitchens have stood from time
immemorial. George ". it was who in
1898 gave it it's lofty roof and top-light
yentilators, its splendid clock let into
the stone walls, and it's generally me-
dieval appearance. At the other end
Of the kitchen is fixed an immense
and venerable smokestack, whose Or
igin is lost in the mists of antiquity.
One of these annually has the honor of
roasting her majesty's baron of beef.
The hot-plate table in the center of the
kitchen measures no less than IA feet
by nine feet. The batterie de cuisine,
IN its brilliant array of glittering cop
per, is large enough to cheer the hearts
of small army of gourmands; and to
show its office is no sinecure, one may
mention that it has to make an annual
visit to the manufacturer for restora-
tion and repair. Lady Bloomfield says
of this kitchen in 1912: THE fire was
more like Nebuchadnezzar' burning
fiery furnace than anything else l can
think of now; and though there is now
no company at Windsor, there were at
least Is or 20 large joints of meat
roasting. Charles Murray (comptrol-
Ter of the household) told me that last
year they fed at dinner 113,O0O people,"

How to Clean Glassware.

The water cannot be too hot for
your glasses, and no matter how frail
they are they will not break in the
coldest weather provide you manage
rightly. Heat expands, cold con-
tracts; and the unequal expansion of
the inner and outer surfaces of your
glass will cause fracture. Thus,
if you pour hot liquid into cold
glass the inner surface expands more
rapidly than the outer; while if you
set cold glass into hot water the re-
verse takes place-breaking the vessel
in either case. Therefore, dip your
glasses into the water sideways, and
roll them around as you do so with a
quick twist of the hand, so that the
expansion is equal. Merely observe
this simple law of physics and you
may wash your glasses with safety in
the hottest water. Glasses cannot be
clean unless washed in clean, hot
water; moreover, they should be
wiped as soon as they are taken out
of the water, using clean dry towel.
If allowed to stand and drain the
water will dry on them in cloudy
streaks. Glasses which have been
used only for water need no soap; it
is only necessary to rinse them in hot
water. The superstition that glass
washed in hot water becomes brittle
probably originated in the fact that if
it is allowed to stand in q draft, directly
after being taken out of the water, the
sudden contraction of its outer surface
breaks the glass, In the same man
ner a pitcher, which has held iced
lemonade on hot day. has been
known to crack from top to bottom
Immediately after being suddenly
emptied. d.-American Queen.

Sea Water for Street sprlnklinr.

The Merchants. Association OF San

Monthly, has been trying the expert
ment of sprinkling street with sea
water, and finds that such water binds
the dirt together between the paving
stones, so that when it is dry no loose
dust is formed to be raised by the
wind that sea water does not dry so
quickly as fresh water, so that it has
been claimed when salt water has keen

A new idea in candles has been
evolved by German chemical manu-
facturer. 1t is simply a mass of solid
flied spirits pressed into cylindrical
form and distributed in round tin
boxes. The solid spirits burn readily
and need no wick to make them appli-
cable for heating or cooking purposes.
The flame can be extinguished like
that of a chafing-dish lamp, after
which the little surface spirits, which

TOM BROWN IN SPRINGFIELD.

Creates II Good Impression.


Creates "a Good ImpressiOn.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1s.-A special to

says:
Thomas T. Brown. the new manager of
the Springfield baseball club. arrived in
the city at noon Friday, coming here from
New York city, where he had been in at
tendance at the Eastern League meeting.
Manager Brown was met by President
Shean and spent the afternoon and even
ing in getting acquainted with the local
baseball hackers and the fans in general.
He Will remain here several days to look
over the ground thoroughly, and get in
complete touch with the situation for the
coming season.
The new manager impressed the officials
of the club and all who met him very ia
vorably. He inspires confidence at once
in his ability TO succeed in anything he
undertakes, and his quiet, gentlemanly
bearing adds greatly to that confidence. In
an unassuming manner he displays a thor
ough knowledge of the national game,
gained from wide experience, with which
followers of the sport and readers of these
columns are already familiar. He has ac-
quired considerable familiarity with the
local field and the needs of the Springfield
team in the short time since he accepted
lhe management. he is particularly we'll
pleased with the signing of Brouthers for
first base, and says the infield gives him
the most anxiety. He has already laid
wires TO secure good backstop from
National League club and may go after
third baseman who has played here before
and can be counted on to fill the position
in top-notch form again if he can be Sc
cured. Manager Brown has not decided
about the opening of the practice season,
but will do so in few days. His family
is at present in Washington and he prob
ably will not bring them to this city until
the opening of the season."
