NOTES ON LONDON
Miss Elisabeth Chant Sees the Fogs With an
Artists Eye-A Visit to Training Ship.
Correspondence of The Journal.

Correspondence of The Journal.
London, Nov. 30.-London has been I'M
usually generous in the way of fogs this
year. Since my arrival in October, have
beheld all manner of yellow, black. brown,
green, gray, white and even brick-red
one. not to mention the peas soup variety,
which has been so thick that the authori-
ties had force at work bottling it up for
distribution to the poor; at least, l was
told so. q.
The fog phenomenon has its interesting
side, though Londoners fail to appreciate
it except as a nuisance. From an artis-
tic point of view I consider the yellow
fog the winner. 1t is not thick enough to
hide the sun, which glows like red-hot
coal. All detail is lost, except in the
foreground. Buildings are subdued to soft
tones of purplishgr set in luminous
amber and wet tiles and polished surfaces
reflect the sunlight in coppery CLEANS.
The strange yellow light gives everything
the unreal appearance of an effect in
stage-land, or time melloWed picture.

Mirrors of the Greeks and Romans

Mirrors of the Greeks and Romans.
The mirrors of the ancient Greeks and
Romans were thin disks Of bronze, highly
polished and usually fashioned with
handles, though sometimes set upright on
stands. Later, silver was used. The first
mirror of solid silver is said to have been
used by Praxitiles in the time of Julius
Caesar. Our mirrors OF to-day are as
far superior to the old bronze mirrors Of
the Romans as our Golden Grain Belt"
beer is better than the beverages of the
an'cients It not only is delicious to the
taste but good for the entire system,
bringing health and strength to those who
use it regularly. This is because it Is
brewed from the purest barley malt and
hops. If you are out, telephone 486 Main
and get case to-day.

To proportion the proverbial thirst of man.
kind by the number and variety of beverages
concocted would prove that every mans house
was an inn and that his appetite Increased by
what it fed upon. -..
The social season creates a demand for. the
numerous fancy beverages that constantly in
crease the list Many of these fail to take
permanent hold on the tickle fancy of the
votaries Of pleasure and are soon substituted
by others. There are others, however which
at once spring into popularity and continue
prime favorites season after season. We have
such variety to choose from in this line Of
accessories that all tastes and fancies may be
pampered and one may partake of a friendly
cup without sacrificing any set principles. or
they may indulge in such draughts that in
toxicate the brain and set their hearts on
fire with an invention Of the enemy. ~-
The milder drinks, tea and coffee, may be
included in the list of these beverages. Black
coffee is quite mild intoxicant to some
and strong tea to others, owing to their
stimulating properties that work on weak
nerves and constitutions. II
We will give several methods of preparing
black coffee: Grind six tablespconfuls of coffee
beans in a mill, put the ground coffee in the
filter of the drip coffee pot. set the strainer
over this, pour over It one and one-ha1f
pints of freshly boiled water Cover and let
infuse in a warm place on the range but do
not let the coffee boil. ~"
Another way is to put one and half
pints Of cold water in ans earthen pot and
place on the range; when the water boils
add two and a quarter ounces Of ground
coffee; then let it boil three minutes Drop a
small piece of charcoal, hot, into tho coffee.
Let stand three minutes, then remove from
the coffee.
After Dinner Coffee.
Use French pot or put three-fourths of a
cup of freshly powdered coffee in strainer
lined with muslin. This should be placed
several inches from the bottom of the pot;
place on back Of the range and pour over
the coffee three CUPS Of freshly boiled water.
AS soon as it percolates through pour 1t
through again very carefully. Let it boil up
two minutes and serve
Mazagrau.

pour in the coffee; add pony OF cognac to

come out of a brilliantly lighted shop into
that murk. Even Londoners soon lose
their bearings. To cross a street is as
risky as running a blockade in war time
Drivers get down and lead their horses
when it's like that, and an hour or two in

Aside from the fogs, London is all right.

ships Of the line that Nelson commanded

Over 600 boys receive their education and
training on board her. They are sent by

FABRIC AND FASHION FOLIO.

It is divided into two parts, fabrics and fash

Under the head Of fabrics all Of the novelties
