TEE BATTLE GOES on.

The second days battle commenced
at dawn on Wednesday. The Rus
slams made repeated baycnet advances
on the road directly s~uth OF Lao
Yang, where the japanese approached
from SanQuaiship ct Tao, shelling the
positions in the Russian lines until !
in the afternoon, when the engage
ment which was general throughout
the south and southwest narrowed to
the main lines. The Japantse 40
vance on the southeast was by way OF
the Feng Wang Cheng road.
Immediately in front Of Chiaofan-
tun the japanese stubbornly attempt
ed to occupy a rounc-topped hill,
which was literally shaved by Russian
shells, making repeated attempts the
entire day where apparently 1t was
impossible for anything to live. The
cannonading continued from this point
to the vicinity Of Wangpaotai until
wednesday evening without apparent
advantage to either sice. The Japa-
nese dropped shells within two CT
three miles Of the "a ilrl ad station ano
in the plain OF Wentsbu mountain,
which is the most i'm mportant emlnence
around Lao Yang, but the japanese
abandoned aggression there on ac-
count Of the resistance they met.
It is plain that the japanese are
no longer enjoying the superiority in
artillery which stood them in such
good stead in the earlier months OF
the war. It was then hill lighting,
ana the Japanese mountain batteries
in which arms tae Russians were deh-
cient told with deadly effect. Now
the contest is in com paralive'y open
country where both the Russians helo
guns and the Russian cavalry can
come into more effective use.

door Wear-Pretty Sacques,
s Kimonas, Etc.

The simple japanese kimona Is in
greater favor than ever for neglige
wear, because of its ease and grace and
the quickness with which it can be ar
ranged or discarded. Many beautiful
and quite. oriental designs in cotton
crepes are shown in the shops for this
purpose, reports the Washington Star.
These can be made up quickly and in
extensively, or, if desired, fashioned
out OF dainty silks. The boudoir maid
who affects kimonas usually wears the
heelless toilet slipper made out of a
piece of the fabric in her kimona.
The short kimona is also much ia
vored, and is usually made Of cotton
or silk crepes or of handkerchiefs. Red
and blue bandanas and white handker-
chiefs with colored borders are favor
lite for this neglige. More fullness is
required for the kimona than the comb
ing jacket
The strictly Grecian costume Of
white, made to fall very full in gath
ers, with cord and tassel arrangement
at the neck or waist, is another style
which finds high favor Sometimes the
material is draped to fall from the left
shoulder or from both in soft folds.
held by knot or buckle. China and
India silks, crepe de chimes and cotton
crepes are desirable for such robes.
For the thoroughly modern boudoir
maid bewildering display of materi-
ais is offered-white and delicately tint
ed chiffons, mousselines, gauzes and
point d'esprits. A liberty silk robe Is
shown in opal shades, with an opales-
cent sequin girdle to secure it at the
waist line.
Dressing gowns of the colonial style
are picturesque and becoming, in adj
dition to their merit of ease and COM
fort
Rufled and plated ruchings have in
vaded the realm of the boudoir gown.
A red crepe de chine has angel sleeves
of accordion plated chiffon, edged with
red ruching. The yoke is made entire
ly of the ruching, which has tiny silk
cord edge.
Many pretty and practical things are
shown in dressing sacks in China
silks and laces. A typical one was
made of blue satin ribbon and inser-
ton, with little plated. fan-shaped
pieces of silk inserted at intervals be-
low the waist. This feature also made
a full, graceful collar and sleeves.
Pongee sacks with heavy lace collars
of Irish crochet make serviceable gar
ments. The honeycomb effect is a
pleasing feature of the newest pongee
boudoir sacks. It gives graceful folds,
and is varied by little touches of bead
ing and tinsel

Kitchen Thermometers.

The use of cooking thermometers.
which until recently was almost thor
oughly confined to hotels and restau-
rants, is increasing in private kitchens.
Most modern housekeepers count them
nowadays as necessities, and they are
to be found in any house furnishing shop.
They register a scale Of temperature
which somewhat exceeds 400 degrees.
In addition, they indicate at what tenn
perature different meats should be
cooked. Mutton needs the lowest tenn
perature-300 degrees; beef requires 30
and pork and veal each 800 degrees.
Bread and pastry need 400 degrees, but
biscuit must have 49,. Plain cake
bakes well at 800 degrees, while sponge
cake needs only 300. The thermome-
tiers, which cost from three to five doll
lars, can be used in boiling water or fat,
as well as in the oven.-C cooking Club.

FOR THE HOUSEWIVES USE.
Small Items Of Domestic Information
Cleaned from Various
Sources.

When making Z pudding don't forget
to make plat in the cloth at the top
OF your basin, % as t. allow the pud-
ding room to swell. tl
When making soup o: stew with old
vegetables add one teaspoOnful Of SUI
gar. which will sweetcn them and
make chem taste like new. ~
To clean tinware first WASH the tin
thoroughly with hot soapsuds, wipe it
thoroughly dry and then scour with
Hour and well-crumpled newspaper. L.
10 keep sponges soft and white wash
them in water with 4 little tartaric
acid In 1t. then rinse in plenty of cold
water Take care not to put in too
much tartaric ACID or the sponges will
be spoiled.
Stains may be taken OF an enameled
bathtub If 1t ia rubbed well with rough
salt. moistened with vinegar. This will
also clean enameled pots and pans, no
matter how burnt Or discolored they
may be.
Borax is a useful thing to have In
kitchen. Add little to the water
when boiling out enameled saucepans
and 1t will help to clean them. If add
ed to the water dish cloths are washed
In 1t will help to keep them a nice
color. N
When spoonful Of borax is put
Into the last water in which white
clothes are. rinsed it has the effect of
whitening them. Before it is added to
the rinsing water the bcrax should be
dissolved in q little hot water.
Many housekeepers experience ex-
cessive WEAKNESS after washing dishes,
mixing bread. ironing or doing other
work which requires bending over a
table. stove or sink. II stove is too
low 1t may be raised by having the
zinc beneath it lifted by means of
thick board cut to fit. If the table Is
too low try to have kitchen stool and
sit down whenever practicable. The
housekeeper who has never tried the
kitchen stool will be surprised at the
saving of strength it embodies. II the
sink is too low the dishpan may be
placed on q large basin turned upside
down, which will raise it sufficiently.
Any device which will make house,
work easier should be tested by the
woman who has her own work to do
and should also be passed on to the
maid If there is one.
Every woman longs In her heart for
hardwood floors. They are easy to
keep clean and beautiful These women
who are so fortunate as to possess the
longed-for luxury will find 1t much
easier to keep their rooms clean and
free from dust II the tropical plan Is
followed Of polishing the floors with
beeswax rubbed on with a cocoanut
husk. It Is safe rule to go by to give
the room good cleaning the very
minute the curtains begin to look
griny and smell musty. Everything
movable should be carried out of tho
room, and it should be swept thor
oughly and the walls wiped with q
clean cloth. In washing mating salt
should be put in the water. Kerosene
should be used for woodwork and am
monia for the window glasses and pic
lures. The best cleaning fluid for fur
niture is plain water. afterward rub
bling the articles with dry. clean
cloth. At all times the rugs, hangings
and pillows should be kept clean.

CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN.
Should at All Times Be Roomv
Enough to Permit Of Growth
and Exercise.

It frequently happens that a child OF
tender years Is clad in well-fitting gar
ments made to measure, or IL purchased
ready made, fitting the body very ex-
actly. The child grows day by day,
but the garments do not grow, and
neither do they stretch readily in pro
portion to, the increasing size Of the
body they cover, says the American
Queen. When stitches or buttons yield,
attention may be directed to the fact
that things are not as they should
be, but in the meantime a great deal
of mischief has been worked.
Unless parents are so situated finan-
cially that they can afford new gar
ments for child every few weeks. the
things purchased should exceed in
measurement that Of the body parts
concerned. The only safe rule when
dealing with this question of size and
growth is thus: Compression may
never be exercised to the least imag-
Unable degree on any part of the body.
If 1t is exercised, bodily development
will be hindered.
Custom requires us to clothe child
in garments it does not need. and that
serve no purpose, either moral or phys
ical. But we can at least avoid In
flicting on the helpless little one .
wrong greater than many that call
forth ordinations of horror. Retard-
ing a child's development is one Of
those crimes perpetrated with inn
punity. Later. when undeveloped bust.

Baltimore American.
She had just called in at his Office and
said she was ailing in so many ways
that she was mystified.
After having noted that she was in
deed grievously afflicted, he said:
Madam, before can do anything at
all for you, you must move closer into
the heart of the city"
With a start the woman said:

When all of this life is DER,
And we have left this world Of care.

They'll meet US at the pearly gates.
And ne'er be parted more.
In the beautiful, beautiful afterward.
= Wen pass through the pearly gates;
Well walk the streets Of brightest gold,
To the throne where Jesus waits.
Well meet Him then thus face to face,

Well join the throng around the throne.
And rest forever there.

The mists shall be swept away.
And we shall see how Christ's own hand.
Is guiding US here to-day.

Which now to US hidden lie.
