SaIf-Lighting Life Buoy.

One feature of the big Lusitania
which attracted crowds when she was
open for inspection was the automat-
ic life buoy which is fastened be-
tween decks on a slanting frame in
such a way that it can be released
by the pressure of a button on the
bridge.
On each end of the four arms OF
a large cross-shaped framework is a
copper ball These balls are so
weighed that when the buoy strikes
the water it will float upright To
the cross arms are fastened long
brass cylinders. These cylinders are
calcium carbide lights SO arranged
that they flare up by contact with
the water.
Should q cry of Man overboard!'
be raised at night the officer on the
bridge presses the button, the buoy
hits the water and the lights flare

Hints About Pillows.

Not only should the outside pillow
tick receive good airing and wash
ing if necessary, but occasionally the
inside feathers should have the bene-
fit Of publication of the came kind.
You can freshen the pillows If you
will beat out all dust, rip one corner,
pour in one cup of hot water, sew ..p,
then shake and pound we'll and pin
on the line in the sun.
Some housekeepers use pillows
with ticks decidedly soiled, because
they dread the bother of emptying
the ticks to wash, but this should D.
done as soiled pillows are unattrac-
tive and the sooner they are washed
the less trouble it will be. To wash
the pillow tick, shake the feathers
into one end; then rip open the
other end and haste to stout pill
low case, then shake all the feathers
into the case before removing the
pillow tick. Wash the tick perfectly
clean, then boil and rinse 1t and put
little starch in the blueing water.
then put the feathers back in the
same manner in which they were
taken out.
If both tick and feathers must be
washed, put the pillows in a strong
soapsuds to which tablespoon
full of ammonia has been added and
rub the pillow on the board as If
washing clothes, then rinse through
several waters and squeeze and press
as much of the water out as possible.
Hang the pillows in the shade to dry
and it will require three or four days.
1t is well to go out several times
day and beat the feathers and
shake them thoroughly, then when
dry give the pillow good beating
up and it will be clean and light, and
will seem to have about twice as
many feathers If the cleaning and
drying have been carefully DONE

Baskets of Fried Potatoes.

A cooking teacher advises against
washing or soaking sliced potatoes
before frying them. Soaking takes
the starch out, but makes the pota-
toes tough. The same authority tells
how to make baskets of fried potatoes
in which to serve fried smelts or
other small fish. Slice the potatoes
into straws, dry them thoroughly and
line small wire strainer with the
straws. They should be we'll packed.
Put over them a second wire strain
err, a size smaller than the first. This
will hold them in place when they
are plunged into the smoking fat.
Fry for five or six minutes, lift out of
the kettle and drain. Pass a small
knife around the edges between the
potatoes and the strainer, when the
baskets will come out easily. Roll
the fish in crumbs or -four, dip them
in beaten egg and again roll in
crumbs or -four and fry in deep fat.
Serve the fish in the baskets, which
place on dainty napkins. Garnish
with fried potatoes and lemon.-New
York Post.

Chicken Mousse.

Scald one cup of milk, cream or
well reduced chicken broth; beat the
yolks of three eggs slightly; add one
fourth teaspoonful of salt and
dash of paprika and cook in the hot
LIQUID until the mixture coats the
spoon. Remove from the fire and
add one-fourth package of gelatine,
softened in one-fourth cup of cold
water or chicken broth. Strain the
preparation over half a cup of cooked
chicken breast, chopped, pounded in
a mortar and sifted. Stir over ice
water until the mixture begins to set,
then fold into it one cup of whipped
cream. Turn into small timbale
molds, or into large mold lined with
paper. The molds may be decorated
with pistachio nuts or trufties, or
both may be used Serve when
chilled and firm with lettuce or other
green salad. This is particularly
good with lettuce and tomatoes.
French or mayonnaise dressing may
be used. - Boston Cooking Scho"

Household Hints.

The dirtiest frying pan will be-
come clean if soaked five minutes in
ammonia and water.
For peanut sandwiches mash the
nuts into powder, season with salt
and moisten with cream.
Salmon which is to be fed to an
invalid should be wrapped in creased
paper and lightly broiled.
When making starch be sure to
boil it we'll or it will stick to the iron,
and if it is not strained it will be
lumpy.
Go over the zinc under the stove
once a day with a cloth dampened
with kerosene and it will always be
bright
II potatoes are boiled in their skins
and the skins removed just before
sending to the table, there will not be
SO much waste.
Homework should not be looked
upon as drudgery. 1t won't Tighten
it any and will only serve to make
one who has to do it unhappy.
When plaster Of Paris is used for
mending cracks in plastering, mix
1t with vinegar instead of water; 1t
will be more easily worked with.
Old Turkish bath-towels clean
wood floors better than ordinary
cloths do. Put pieces of such towels

GAS MANTLEs ONLY ASHES.
Invention Due to the Experiments Of
Vienna Chemist.

TIE gas mantle IS nothing but ashes
and 1t is wonderful how science makes
its particles cling together as long as
they do.
The gas mantle was invented by
chemist of Vienna. He noticed the
intense light given out by small
quantity of thorium thrown into
stove in his laboratory. He realized
the Importance of the discovery and
in 1880 began q series of experiments
to utilize this remarkable quality of
the element in intensifying light He
found that pure thorium would not
cohere well enough to be of use, and
he then began searching for a com
bination of elements that would an
swer.
In 1887 he produced his first man
ties, but they were so delicate that
they could not be transported, and
were delivered by hand. A boy was
trusted to carry two, one in each
hand, for delivery about the streets OF
Vienna. In the early COS he found
that a good mantle could be made
from a combination of the two sub
stances. thorium oxide and cerium OK
ide, and that a coating of collodion
would give a sufficient f1rmness to al
low 1t to be transported Since then
gas mantles have gone into general
use in nearly all parts of the world
and thousands OF factories are pro-
ducing them.
