TO CLEAN FURs.

It is impossible for furs to go
through a whole season without con-
tracing quantity of dust and dirt
A light-colored fur, of course, shows
how soiled it is, but the dark ones,
not displaying their dirt, are allowed
to get dirtier and dirtier. Furs may
readily be cleaned at home simply by
rubbing them with bran, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Buy pound
of bran, divide it in TWO portions and
place one in the oven to heat. Spread
the fur on paper on table and rub
it well over with the cold bran. Then
shake out the bran and brush the fur
with soft hat brush. When the rest
of the bran feels hot rub it evenly in
TO the fur in the same manner until
the fur is quite free from all bran
and dust. The satin lining of the fur
viii also need cleaning. Squeeze out
a clean sponge in warm water and
rub the satin gently with it. but be
careful not to let the satin get too
wet. Rub it dry with cloth and
hang it in warm place to dry and
then in cold draft air it.

TABLE TALK.

Mealtime should be the pleasantest

THE SUBMARINE BOAT.
Its Place Believed to Be Established
in Modern Maratime Affairs.

That the submarine has come to
stay is proved by the fact that Great
Britain, the strongest naval power in
opponent of this type of vessel, has
adopted them-and to the United
States belongs the credit. and to John
P. Holland the distinction of making
these boats success. England has
simply adopted the American designs,
est to note that he American and
English boats seem to be vastly SUI,
perior to the French vessels.
When one thinks that a modern
battleship or high-grade cruiser costs
today fully $5,000,000, or more than
the entire value cf our navy in the glo-
rious war of 1912, the Importance of
perfecting these smaller boats of de-
struction, which would hold a fleet of
battleships at their mercy, becomes
apparent, One of these boats, the
sample craft Fulton. has remained I'M
der water with a gale raging over
head. of which those in the boat were
in ignorance, for fifteen hours with
out discomfort to the crew. The
French boat Narval in May, 1891,
Travelled 2G0 miles at sea, and was
submerged for several hours. Those
tests prove the serviceability of the
boats.
One matter of Importance, however,
seems to have escaped general notice.
If these boats are what they seem
to be, they will add immensely to the
safety and the dignity of smaller ma
tions. They will make weak ooun-
tries secure from naval attacks from
powerful nations. The submarines
bid fair to sound the death knell of
blockades, and that of itself will bring
new situation for international
commerce and international law 70

APPLE .JELLY.

Wash the apples. removing the tails
and black tops, but do not peel them,
simply cut them up roughly into small
pieces. Put these on to boil in nice
jelly pan with a few bits of white
ginger, and, liked, the yellow rind
of two or three lemons, just covering
with water. Bring to boil and sim
mer till all is we'll pulped, adding
little more water if need be to mako
it easily stirred. Strain over night,
and to each pint Of juice allow one
pound of best sugar, also adding
little essence of ginger, essence OF
lemon or the juice of two fresh lem.
ons. Boil for about half an hour, TAX
ing off all the scum as it rises to keep
the color clear. Pot, and cover when
cold. The pulp in the jelly bag should
then be turned out into the jelly pan
and covered with water to make juice
for the apple jam, boiled and strained.

Simple Preservation of Eggs-A
simple plan is to bury the eggs in
salt, standing them upright instead OF
laying them on their sides. They
may thus be preserved for a whole
year.
To prevent bright pans from being
blackened by smoke, rub with fat be-

or a handkerchief moistened and laid
near the invalids couch, will be found
an efficient aid in driving away intru-

An Easy Way to Peel Beetroot-As
soon as the beets are sufficiently
cooked, place them in a vessel and
pour cold water on them, and by gent.
ly pressing them the peel will come
off easily.

been washed they should be rinsed in
water in which one ounce of alum or

This little precaution may be the
means of saving many little lives.
To Scrub Wooden Articles-Rinse
WELL sprinkle with fine sand, soap the
brush and scrub with the grain of the

stand in the open air for a time, If
possible, if it is the pastry-board you
are scrubbing, and it is only used for
the purpose of making pastry, do not
soap it.

no DISCONTINUED GIRLS.

The blues attack you sometimes.
dear girls, because your lives are far
too easy. A girl who has no definite
aim, who feels herself of little use.
on whose hands time hangs like
dead weight, may suffer from the
tedium of existence, says writer in
the Ladies' Home Journal. You are
idle. The cure for you is occupation.
Take up new study, or do something
for somebody who needs lift. Look
about the neighborhood. There may
be little mother whom you can help
by taking care of her babies while
she has an outing. Try Settlement
work or friendly visiting. And it is
just possible that your own father
and mother are in want of bit OF
ministering to. Your cure for the
blues is in getting to work.
Z I do not forget today the girl who
has real heartache; Who has tasted
a cup of bitter sorrow, or who has
suffered from broken hopes. To have
toiled for years over music, and then
to lose the voice that was SO fine and
clear, and to have hoarse croak in
stead of silvery soprano, is no
slight disappointment. I have known
three girls who had this to bear. To
their credit tell you that they have
all accepted the situation and under
taken to meet life cheerfully.
1t is geners-y SO with real trouble,
is it not, girls? You brace yourselves
to be strong in the face of disaster
You meet calamity with smile. But,
OH girls, do be cheerful when tho
little things provoke you, when the
mean things exasperate and the i'm
aginary things vex. Nothing can van

NOT CRINoLINE.


There must not be even hint OF
stiffness in the arrangement OF any
part of gown, for that would en-
tirely destroy the supple outline
which Dame Fashion insists for the
nonce is the only one permissible.
And yet with the extreme of sheer
ness and chiffon-like qualities that
characterize all of the fashionable
materials, it is vexed problem just
how all of this supplensss shall be
made to sustain its shape. How the
masses of sheer yoile, cope de chine,
measure from six to dozen yards at
the foot, are to be kept from sagging
in forlornly around the ankles is one
of the questions that test the ingen-
uity of the designer.
Persistent rumors OF crinoline pre-
vail, and one Partisan contu-ier,
whose establishment leads in novel
ties, has already sent out model
with three stiff hoops run in the drop
skirt. If this does not presage crino-
line, what does? But, happily, 1t is
not by any means true or sure that
every model put forth meets with &C
ceptance. Womankind in general,
and the fashionable mondaine in par
ticular, is law unto herself where
fashions are concerned and it Is
doubtful if anything could induce
even the most frivolous of them to be
responsible for the resurrection OF
that figure of fun for which the old
time crinoline was responsible
