How to Wash an Automobile.

When the owner of an automobile has engaged a new driver he should stand by to watch the method adopted when the new broom washes the car for the first time, says the Pittsburg Press. If hose Is provided and the new man forthwith plunges a sponge into water and commences to wipe the mud and dust off the paint work 1t Is clear that he does not know his job and should be stopped at once. Mud and dust should never be wiped off, even with a wet sponge, but should be washed away with water just running from the hose pipe without force. It should be sluiced away, and that can- not be done properly If the water Is pouring forcibly through the nozzle. Where mud has caked upon the car water must be allowed to run gently over the incrustations until they break up and are washed away. Then a clean sponge and clean water must be used for finally washing the paint work when all the mud and grit have disap- peared. The final drying and polishing can be done with perfectly clean, grit less chamois feathers. Cars should be washed immediately upon coming into the garage. Wherever dried mud rests for any time dull stain remains which nothing will remove.

ABSENT MINDED PROFESSOR.
Inicdents That Made Him a Source of Amusement to His Friends,


 Many stories are told of the ab- sent-mindedness of the late Sir John Burdon-Sanderson, formerly regius professor of medicine at Oxford, who was familiarly known as "The Bur der"
 He used to delight his classes by stuffing one chalky duster after an- other into his pockets, and finally using his pocket handkerchief to clean the blackboard. At his own dinner table he would carefully carve the joint and serve his guests, and then fall to on his own plate utterly oblivious to the fact that he had for gotten to help himself.
 The late Sir Henry Acland had a story he always enjoyed of the pro- fessor's absent-mindedness While a guest at his house, Sanderson one day asked Miss Acland if he might have his luncheon earlier than usual, as he wished to have a walk before returning to the schools. At the ap- pointed hour lunch was duly served, and the professor left the house. Ten minutes later, at his usual luncheon hour, he returned, rang the bell, and asked the astonished ser want to bring up lunch. It was duly served, and he made a second hearty repast, utterly ignorant that 1t was an encore.
 Lady Sanderson left him one even ing to conduct his guests into the dining room. When she came down into the hall she found him helping them into their overcoats, shaking hands and saying good night.-Lon- don Daily Mail.

Nudes and Macaroni.

Many persons believe nudes originated in Germany" says a New York Italian arm of the law, "but such Is not the case, for nudes, macaroni, spraghetti and vermicelli are the same, only of different shapes and sizes. Nud1es Is hand made preparation of the mountains, and nearly every Italian and German family in America makes 1t by hand. Italians never bake macaroni or paste in any form. The only way to eat 1t is boiled. In Italy the cooking of this dish is left to the head of the family, whether he be rich or poor, If he has the time. The paste is dropped into boiling water, and when done is drained in colander. A pot roast gravy is made, with lima beans, tomatoes and mushrooms added. Then a layer of macaroni Is put In a platter and covered with the sauce, some Italian pepper and grated Par mesan cheese; then another layer, and more sauce, pepper and cheese, until the dish Is filled. That makes an artistic dish. Careless people si1a- ply dump the macaroni into a deep dish, pour on all the sauce, pepper and cheese and stir everything to- gether."

CARE OF CLOTHES.
How n We'll Dressed Woman Looks After Her Dresses and Hats.

How n We'll Dressed Woman Looks
 After Her Dresses nnd Hats.
 The woman who knows how to put away her belongings Is not only neat, but economical and generally smart in appearance, says the Kansas City Star. When she comes in from q walk she never hangs up her coat by the loop inside the collar. If she puts 1t away In the closet she uses a coat hanger; If she leaves it around the room, knowing she may need 1t soon, she disposes it over the back of a chair that will keep 1t In shape. The skirts of her gowns never have a stringy look because they are always hooked and then hung by two loops. For tailor made skirt she uses small coat hanger with the ends bent down a little. This keeps the skirt in excellent shape and causes it to hang in even folds. The strings of her un- derskirts are tied and the garment Is hung by the loops, thus never showing a hump where it has rested on the hook For the same reason her shirt waists are always hung by the arm holes, unless they have hahging loops. Handsome waists have both sleeves and body stuffed with tissue paper and are then laid in drawers or boxes.
 Shoes are easily kept in shape by slipping a pair of trees into them as soon as they are removed from the feet If trees are not available, news paper will do, if 1t is stuffed in tight. It Is well to roll each veil on a stiff piece of, paper. A single foil will often spoil the set of veil and sometimes even mar the expression of a face. Gloves should always be removed by turning them wrong side out. They should then be turned baoii again, blown into shape and each finger smoothed out. Ties, especially four-in- hand or golf ties, should be hung to avoid creasing.
 Hats, of course, should be kept out of the dust and placed so that the trim ming will not be disarranged. This dis position depends so much on the hat and the available space that t3ch wo- man must use her own ingenuity. However, 1t Is safe to say that no hat should be laid flat down on a shelf. Furs, also, should be protected from dust, and a huff should always be stood on end.

Oricin of, the Word saTip."

It is said that the word tip" orig mated couple of centuries ago in the days of the coffee-houses. At the doors of eating rooms there hung brass-bound boxes bearing the phrase ITO Insure Promptness," and into the slit in the top customers were expected to drop coins for the waiter. The initial letter of that phrase came in time to be used as word.

How to Care For a Watch.

If a watch Is expected to go well and to keep good time, the first and chief demand 1t makes Is that 1t should have regular attention. says the Pitts burg Press. AS far as possible 1t should be wound up every day about the same hour, and if 1t is worn let 1t be worn regularly, not taken out for three days and then returned to It's case for the re n1ainder of the week. Extremes o1 temperature should also be avoided as sudden cold or heat works havoc with a valuable watch and its delicate mechanism. Another point to be noted Is that the watch should be kept In the same position. If It Is carried by day In an upright position. hang 1t on a hook at night. preferably against some thing soft.

A Dethroned Queen.

Queen Niawing, a dusky central African potentate, now decrepit and discredited, is said to have been the last ruler of Mpororo. She once pos sessed much influence, partly due to power of intercourse with the spirit world, and surrounded herself with much mystery. She lived completely hidden in hut, from which she was supposed never to emerge. When approached for any purpose, the re- plies to questions were given in a high, squeaky voice, intended to be accepted as the voice of spirits.

Cost of Artillery in France.

In the arsenals of France, accord ng to a French paper, there are $S,000,000 worth of anticipated and useless artillery. The French navy uses fifty or sixty different models of guns, which makes the question of furnishing projectiles very difficult, and the powder used in the navy Is so unstable that one-quarter of it has to be changed every year. It lasts on board ship only five years and in hot climates only two years.

High Authority

A rebellious husband was object ing to doing certain work about the house, and he quoted Scripture to his wife, showing that the house. hold duties should properly be as- signed to the woman. The good wife replied by reading to her astonished liege 2 Kings 21:13: T will wipe out Jerusalem as man wipeth dish, wiping 1t and turning 1t upside down." That husband has wiped the dishes ever since.

How Shark Arc Killed.

The engineers in the British Navy have a very effective way of killing sharks. They seal up a dynamite cartridge in an empty can, and put the can inside large piece of pork. The pork is thrown overheard on a wire which has been connected with an electric battery. When the shark takes the bait, the engineer presses a button, which explodes the cart ridge and kills the fish.
