White corsets when they become
soiled may be cleaned by being brush
ed over with a strong brush dipped IN
mixture of soap, water and am
monia.

can bear. 1t is not necessary to use
as much water as is needed when 1t
is cold
Candles should be bought in the win
ter months. 1t is best to buy large
stock at once. and keep them stored
in a dry, cool place until wanted for
use.
Beat a carpet on the wrong side first.

OUR COOKING SCHOOL.
The Family Roast.

Roast meat, although one of the
commonest modes of dressing it, is by
no means an easy task. Roast meat
is too often sent to the table nearly
raw or dried up till there is scarcely
any gravy in it. Now, good roasting
consists in dressing the joint thor
oughly and yet retaining its juice. The
fire should be prepared some time be-
fore the meat is put in the oven; it
should be so good as not to require
making up while the joint is roasting.
A great deal of the success in roast
ing will depend on the fire. The meat
should be basted from the first to shut
in the juices. The fat of lamb or veal
should be covered with a piece Of pa
per tied on with Irvine. The meat
should be basted very frequently, for
the more it is basted the better it will
taste. When nearly done the paper
may be removed and the joint lightly
dredged with flour in order to give it
a savory brown appearance, some
times called frothing. When ready to
dish sprinkle lightly with salt. The
usual time for roasting is fifteen min
utes for each pound Of meat. Brown
meats, however, require less time than
white meats. When it is dished the
fat which is left in the pan may be
poured into basin previously dipped
in cold water. If removed the next day
there will be found beneath the fat
fine meat jelly for gravies or soups.
The cake of fat should be melted and
strained into cold water. from which
it can be removed and kept for future
use.

Col. Bdden-powell Author of Delight
full Book.

Col. Baden-Powell declares that
''man-stalking" is the best game of
syhich he knows, and the colonel has
had experience enough as a hunter of
both two and four footed animals to
know. He has written book called
Aids to Scouting" and in it he clearly
lays down the rules of the sport.
The scouts ten commandments, he
says, are pluck and self-reliance, abil-
1ty to find his way in a strange coun-
try and use his eyes and ears. He
must be able to keep himself hidden,
track the enemy, get across country,
take care of himself and his horse,
and report his information.
The most reliable assistance in find
ing your way is the compass, but in
South Africa, where there is much
ironstone in the ground, compass be-
comes very unreliable. The sun by
day gives you the east in his rising,
and west in his setting, and north OF
south at noon, as you happen to be
sonth or north of the equator
On starting on reconnaissance, II
you see mountain, say, to the north
ward of you, it will serve as a guide.
Similarly, when you pass any con-
spicuous object, like a withered tree,
broken gate or a strangely shaped
rock, keep it on your mind. On pass
ing such landmarks, do not omit to
look back, and see what their appear
ance is from the other side.
1t should be point of honor with
. scout that nobody sees any object
that he has not already seen for him
self. Your eyes must be never rest
ing, continually glancing around in
every direction, and trained to see OBJ
jects in the far distance. A scout must
have eyes at the back of his head.
A moving enemy is easy to see, but
one who stands still or who is the
same color as the ground around him
is very hard to see for the Impractical
eye. Common sense and little re-
most likely points to look to find him.
Once 1 was having a match with
shikari, in Kashmir, as to which of us
could see the farthest.
He pointed out on hillside some
distance off and asked me if l could see
how many cattle there were grazing On
it. 1t was only with difficulty that l
could see any cattle at all; but pres
emily 1 capped him by asking him if
he could see the man in charge of the
cattle. Now, l could not actually see
this myself, but, knowing that there
must be a man with the herd, and that
he would probably be uphill above
them, and as there was a solitary tree
above them, and it was hot, sunny
day, l guessed he would be under this
tree. A look through the glasses
showed this surmise to be right
Besides looking far afield your eyes
should miss nothing close by that is
likely to mean anything.

The winds and the waves were low,
And 1 thought of the days that are gone.
Maud,
Many long years ago;
All! Those were the happiest days of all.
Maud,
AS we played on the white pebbled sand,
Maud,
Gathering up the shells from the shore.
Oh, don't you remember the day, Maud.
The last time we wandered on the
shore,
Our hearts were SO joyous and gay.
Maud,
For you promised to be my bride e'er
more:
Then the shells they were whittier than
ever,
And the bright waves were lovelier than
before,
The hours were but moments to US.
Maud,
Gathering up the shells from the shore.
But now we are growing up in years,
Maud,
Yet the vows that we made on the shore,
Maud
Are fresh in our mem'ries to-day;
There still is a charm in those bright
shells,
And the sound of the deep oceans roar.
For they call back the days that we
spent, Maud,
Gathering up the shells from the shore.

STORY OF SARAH'S DOG.

Mme. Bernhardt's Affaire de Contra

 Paris, Jan. 9.-Startling news reached Paris last night to the effect that the public prosecutor of the Seine had been summoned by the public prosecutor of Bordeaux to draw up a report on the position of Mime. Sarah Bernhardt, who, it is hardly necessary to say, is "very we'll known" both in the old and new worlds. The examining commission of the procureur of the republic asked several questions about the actress, among them: First, the exact civil con- dition of the 'nommee' Sarah Bern hardt; and secondly, information con- corning her morality and means of ex- istence. Placed between parentheses were the words "Affaire de contraven- tion a la police des chemins de fer" What crime had the divine Sarah com mitted to call for such a report?
 The adventure is easily explained.
