Futiiity of Night Attacks.

One thing that some British mill.
tary experts think the South African
War has decided is the futility oil
night attacks. Night fights may be
justified and successful under certain
conditiohs. These conditions are;
First, seSAecy; second, the employ.
ment OF the very best troops and the
most skillful staff. To attack in force
means either that your troops advance
in an extremely close formation, and
thus lay themselves open TO heavJ

is the almost certain chance that .
number will go astray or spoil the
whole enterprise by some unrehearsed

SHOULD BE KING OF ENGLAND

for This Bridogroom-to-B Be-


The b%ethrothal of the handsome
Princess Mathilde of Bavaria to Prince
Louis of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is OF
double interest, inasmuch as the prin-
cess is the daughter of the Stuart
queen, "Her Christian and Catholic
majesty Queen Mary w. Of Scotland
and III. of England" Gas her adherents
contend), and the prince a member of
the royal house to which u prince
consort belonged, now represented by
Duke Alfred, Prince Ludwig of Ba-
varia, who should some day ascend the
throne as King Ludwig Ill.," Is the
eldest son of Prince Luitpold, the
prince regent, and was born Jan. z,
1916. He is a general of Bavarian in
fantry, and married at Vienna, Feb.
20, 1868, the Archduchess Maria
Theresa of Australasia, who is the
iineal descendant of Henrietta Maria,
eighth child of Charles l., while Queen
Victoria claims only descent from a
daughter of James I. The princess,
who is just SO years of age, is the
Legitimate queen of these realms,
and her eldest son, Prince Rupert, the
"pretender' Of the %Jacobites.
Still, he will some day rule the
solid, beer-drinking Bavarians, and,
like his mother, does not seem to as
pire to the honors thrust upon them
by their Jacobite partisans.-London

Uses For LemonR.

No family should be withoutlemons

enumeration.
j The juice of a lemon in hot water
on awakening in the morning is ar
excellent liver corrective, and fol
stout women is better than any anti
fat medicine ever invented.
Glycerine and lemon juice, half and
half, on a bit of absorbent cotton, is
the best thing in the world wherewith
to moisten the lips and tongue Of Q
fever.parched patient.
A dash of lemon juice in plain water
is an excellent tooth wash. It moi
only removes tartar, but sweetens the
breath.
A teaspoonful of the juice in a small
cup of black coffee will almost GER
tainly relieve a bilious headache.
The finest of manicure acids ia
made By putting a teaspoonful oil
lemon juice in q cupful Of warm water.
This removes most stains from the
fingers and nails and loosens the
cuticle more satisfactorily than can
be done by the use of q sharp instru.
ment.
Lemon juice and salt will remove
rust stains from linen without injury
to the fabric. Wet the stains with the
mixture and put the article in the
sun. Two or three applications may
be necessary if the stain is of long
standing, but the remedy ave fails.
Lemon juice (outward application
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of gnats or flies.

Suggestion of an Expert Laundress,

An expert laundress says that il
sheets ana tablecloths are folded SO
that the selyage edges will pass
through the wringer first they will be
smoother and less likely to curl. She
also sounds o note of caution against
the habit Of pouring boiling water on
soiled clothes. "You know" she
says, "if you submit anything that il
soft to the action of the heat it will
bake it hard. Pour boiling water in
the cake dish and it will cook the
dough in it. So if you pour very
hot water on the clothes it cooks the
dirt in. IT you are going to SOAK
clothes you will soak them in luke.
warm water. I wash all the clothes
in lukewarm water. In summer only
a little warmer than it comes from the
faucet. Some people put oil the
clothes to soak-the clean and dirt.
together. This should never be done.
It does not seem quite nice to put
table linen with soiled clothes from
the bed or body, and, moreover, the
dirt from the soiled clothes gets into
the clean ones and makes them
grimy."

How to Send Flowers Away.

Flowers may be sent by mail ana
arrive in good condition if picked over
night and kept in pans of water, moi
In vases, nor even in ~wider-necked
Jars. In the morning they should be
dried and rolled into punches so
lightly as to exclude all air from both
stalk and flowers. Newspapers may
be used for this wrapping. They
may then be packed rather closely in
pasteboard boxes, and will travel q
reasonable distance without serious
