Good ceIers for Houses.

II is not generally known-not even
among painterr-why certain tints and
color wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints IRE best to use is, therefore, rather
hazy.
One writer on paints, in a recent book,
says that experiments seem TO show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun. will protect a
house better than thoee which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays
In general, therefore, the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor, 80
far ss wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce. will give wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like Iemon), cold greens like
grass green, etc), and the blues.
Il must be understood that no virtue
Il claimed for tints in themselves, ire
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale of, if adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used, but if one is
careful to use the best white lead-some
we'll known brand Of reliable manufac-
turer-and genuine linseed oil, the warm
tints mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.

Last week Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt
travelled through. Connecticut In
motor car. Nothing strange about
that: an automobile excursion is with
out significance: but 1t happens the
lady on this particular car was q cen
tenarian. A very jolly one she must
be. for she has gone i've years above
par. and yet says the motor is her ia
vorite vehicle. But Mrs. Hunt is the
~new woman" the very newest wom-
an. in fact. when at the age of los
she enjoys life as though she were
only so. And who shall say this new
note OF the day. the woman of los, is
not to be the answer to DIR. Osler's
theory? One Who doesn't weary of life
will subscribe to 1t, but for the woman
incapable OF perennial youth the out
look would be boresome in the ex-
treme. Mrs. Hunt. however. is hv-

from the fate OF Annie Gross. 25-
year,old st. Louis woman She was
"stout" and had been dieting to re-

heavy food and neighbors gave the
information that she had made a
practice of eating from a dozen to
two dozen seur pickles a day and
drinking from half pint to pint
Of vinegar every "a hours. Sudden
death came to her Sunday evening
when she had left q party of her
friends to get drink of water. At

ner walls Of the stomach almost COM
pletely eaten away. The cause of
death was given as "hemorrhage of

due to pickles and vinegar. 1t is

how such results would naturally
come more quickly to q stomach that

The last troops of the British army
have left Halifax for home. The event
is a step in the evolution of the rela-

will create some feelings of regret.
The presence of British regiments long

1t is true, either from an imperial or a

America Leads the World In Nun.
bers and Emciency.t

America Leads the World In Mum.
bers and Emciency.t
That America leads the world in the
number and efficiency Of Its railroads
Is, of course. common knowledge.
At the close of the last century
North America had no less than 220,-
$50 miles of track in operation, while
the total for Europe, Asia, Africa, Aus
tralia and South America was only
trife greater, about 10000 miles. The
United States then had mile Of road
for every 1888 inhabitants, Europe one
for every 2,267 and British India one
for every 1900. This country invent
ed the parlOr, sleeping and dining cars,
the pressed steel freight car, many of
the best features of the modern loco
motive, the air brake, the automatic
coupler and host of related devices,
and it runs the fastest long distance
trains.
One of the most marvellous develop
ments in the whole railroad system is
that which has taken place at the head
of train in the last seventy years.
The best locomotives today are about
four times as long as the De Witt Clin-
ton QS3D, foot or two higher, have
drivers that are seventy-twO or even
eighty inches in diameter instead of
only fifty-four and carry 200 pounds Of
steam instead of only eighty. But
these figures afford no idea of the real
gain that has been effected in power.
Relative to the other features, the boil
er has grown abnOrmally, while the
smokestack has actually diminished in
size. In the De Witt Clinton the smoke
pipe was as big as the boiler. One does
not realize what modern science has
done for this type Of engine until he is
told that it has pull of from sixteen
to thirty tons as against 919 pounds.
A locomotive built not long ago for
the Santa Fe road weighed 1887 tons.
Trevethick's engine. built just cen
fury ago, weighed five. Stephenson's
Rocket 1920 was several hundred
pounds lighter. Even between 1850
and 1860 the average weight of pas
senger locomotive was twenty tons
and Of freight engine thirty. At the
close Of the fiscal year there were in
operation in the United States 195,8S7
miles Of track, or within $4,000 miles
Of the total for North America.-New
York Herald.

Cooking a Goose.

The cooks in the best Hebrew and
Roumanian restaurants on New York's
east side are practically unsurpassed
in the art Of cooking a goose When
roasting the bird. instead of filling it
with dried crumbs and herbs they stuff
1t with dried apricots or prunes that
have been thoroughly freshened by
standing in water. No spices or other
condiments are added. and, while it is
probable that more geese are cooked
in that way in New York than in any
other fashion, epicures are just begin
ming to talk about the fact as If it was
a new discovery Therein is a hint for
those who desire to improve the do
nestle cuisine-New York Globe.

You eat more" was the plain re-
joinder. 1T doesn't cost nearly as
much to feed the average woman as
the average man. but we are the first

foreign restaurants have recognized
that fact and have regulated their

Rinsing Clothes.

When you see alleged white gar
ments that are Of dull gray color, like
the sheets Of London lodging house
bed. you may know that. however well
they have been washed, the laundress
did not half rinse them. The average
laundress is a grievous sinner in this
respect. Often the clothes she puts
through her hands smell of soap even
after they have been dried and ironed.
Abundance of rinse water must be
used. There must be two rinsings If
clothes are to look as they should.
Many laundresses use far too much
bluing In their rinse water also.

strength as well as the garments them
selves. Where possible there should be
separate from the kitchen a laundry

ironing table. There ought to be a

large skirt board. Men folk must see
that there are plenty of good strong
