two novelties in polar expeditions
a big siege of the south pole will be
begun by Lieut. +. H. Shackleton,

sealing vessel Nimrod, whose name
has been changed for the trip to En-
durance, and Lieut. Shackleton ex-
poets to plant on the south pole the
union jack presented TO him by Queen
Alexandra for this purpose.
Almost as many fruitless expedi-
tions have been made to the south as
to the north pole, with the odds in ia

STOP RATrLING OF WINDOWS.
Steel Springs Are Among Recent
Household Novelties

a woman who sleeps in "A house full
of rafting windows was delighted TO
receive the other day a dozen bent
springs of steel for insertion between
the sashes and castings of rafting
windows. They are fat at one end
and swell toward the other. thus
fitting themselves to any casing.
Another novelty is the radiator
brush. These are long or short and as
nat and thin as can be, the bristles be-
ing wired in. They are the only things
that will clean radiator, going be
tween the various pipes and getting
out every bit of dust.
In lambs wool there are long
handled brushes of the wool for wip-
ing off wallpaper, and these take of
every bit of dust. They are also use
ful for dusting highly polished or oiled
floors. They may be washed with luke

Cracked Furniture,

Ugly marks caused by Sits or
cracked places on furniture are easily
filled in with beeswax and the mark
is never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blem-
ishes. First slightly soften the bees
wax until it. is like putty, then press
firmly into the cracks, and smooth
evenly with a thin steel knife OF
course a putty knife is best for the
purpose, but a dull case knife will do.
Sandpaper over the surrounding
wood finish, or color. and when the
furniture is vanished you will look
in vain for the blemishes. Often this
defect occurs in the panels of furni-
ture, headbOards of beds and tables,
so try this method of mending and
you will be delighted with the result.
1t is better than putty since putty
soon dries, crumbles and falls out,
while beeswax remains forever just
where it is placed.

base of operations on King Edward
VII island to bring the explorers back
to civilization. The cargo of the yes
sci consists of ample food supplies, a
living hut in sections, u Siberian po-
nies, team of 12 picked dogs from
the far northwest of Canada and the
specially constructed motor car. The
car will go at the rate of 25 miles a
day, drawing more provisions than
the pony and dog sledges.
Lieut. ShackIeton selected Siberian
ponies, which will be used for the first
time in polar expedition, because of
their endurance and ability to stand
very low temperatures. One disad-
vantage he TeckOned against the po-
nies was that if any died they could
not be fed to the others. This has
always been done with the dead dogs
in all polar expeditions.
In speaking of his expedition before
he left England Lieut. Shackleton
said: With regard to our food supply,
we have studied this question down
to the final analysis Our foods are
prepared with the utmost care. The
tins they are packed in are triple
thickness and are doubly painted.
Every particle Of food is of the best.

Old La Bahia Mission.

Santa Annals army and capture of the
Mexican commander, whose life was
only saved through the timely inter
ference of Gen. Sam Houston
In all the years that have passed
since that massacre, during the period
that Texas was a republic and since
she became a state, the historic edi-
flee has remained uncared for, except
such little attention as was shown by
the few poor but devout Mexican
wOrshipeTs who gathered at its altar
on Sundays and the various saints
days
The state of Texas purchased the
historic Alamo mission building at San
Antonio some years ago, and put it
in charge of the Daughters of the Re
public of Texas. The movement now
on foot seeks to have the state pur-
chase La Bahia mission from those
who now hold title to it and turn it
over to the Daughters of the Republic.
Owing to its remote location cOmpara-
lively few people visit La Bahia mis-
sion. Those who enter the building
must first pay fee to the Mexican
who is in charge of the place The in
terror is mucn the same as it was
when the massacre occurred The dark
blood stains are still 10 be seen and
the marks of bullets deface the stone
and the time-wOTn woodwork. So lit
tie has been the interest in preserving
the historic edifice and its surround
ings that the old brass cannon which
the Texans used TO defend themselves
against the attack of Santa Annals
army may still be seen lying in the
rocky bed of the San Antonio river,
where il was thrown by the victorious
hosts nearly three-quarters of a cen
tuTy ago. The bodies of the men who
We're massacred are still lying in the
pOtters' field unclaimed. and with no
mark to show that they offered up
their lives for the cause of a people
who have prOspered beyond measure
and grown into greatness.

DRINKS FOR THE INVALID.
Acceptable Connections in the Period
of FeVerish Colds.

With la grippe and feverish colds
prevalent, cooling drinks are in de-
mand Chilled fruit ices are always
acceptable. whether they be the juice
of dried fruits soaked over night, then
cooked in the same water, tart home
made jellies dissolved in a glass of
cold water. allowing a tablespoonful
of jelly to a glass of water, or the
juice of lemons, lines, oranges or
grapefruit diluted with water and
sweetened to taste. One patient finds
nothing more acceptable than the juice
of an. orange squeezed in a glass the
same as lemon for lemonade Another
finds applicable the most refreshing. To
prepare it peel and quarter a tart ap-
pie, cover with water and cook until
tender. Press to a pulp while hot;
sWeeten slightly. then cool and strain
into glass of cold water The water
in which rice has been cooked when
strained. cooled and slightly sweet
ened or lightly salted is both nOuTish-
ing and cooling. The addition Of lem
on juice makes an Oriental drink
greatly in demand in case OF cold or
fever. Oyster broth made with milk
and chilled is often Telished.
The peculiar acid of buttermilk ap-
peals to many palates, while with 9th
ers oatmeal water stands first. To
make the latter. put one cup oatmeal
in a stone jar with a cup of sugar, the
juice and thin yellow rind of three
lemons. Cover with three quarts boil
ing water and let stand until the sugar
is dissolved. Strain and put on the
ice.

MAKES FOR DRESS ECONOMY.
Little Touches That Alter Appearance
of the Bodice.

At the present moment we have am
pie opportunities of altering the ap-
pearance of our bOdices and making
one play the part of many, says a
writer in the Montreal Herald. Some
of these take the form of fichus made
of folds of thin or thick material.
which are thrown over the shoulders
and fasten at the waistband. Than
there is a new form of bOlerO which is
attached to a waistband that forms an
accentuated point on the front from
which a couple of straps is attached
to the bolerO, that opens wide in front
and falls over the point of the shoul-
der. Both the band and the boleFo
are generally covered with embroid-
cry, and the many gold embroidered
bOdices which come from the east can
be adapted TO thenf Then there is the
pinafore effect which completely
changes the whole aspect of the dress
if attached to the skirt, and with a
good pattern costs a mere song. Many
of the present winter dresses are
made of rough fabrics intermixed with
black, and with these a plain colored
pinafOre would have an excellent ef-

Transforming Plain Cake.

A plain cake is transformed by an
icing. The simplest known of these
is that of white of an egg and pow
dered sugar. Boiled frosting is not
difficult. and when cOcoanut or
chopped nut meats are added the
frosting may be as elaborate as you
please. Maple sugar, which is a boon
to dessert inventors, lends its delicious
flavor to cake frosting. Boil one
pOund-two cupfuls of grated maple
sugar with half a cupful of water un-
til a soft ball can be formed in cold
water; then pour onto the stiff
whipped whites of two eggs. beating
constantly; return to the fire for two
or three minutes, beating carefully to
avoid burning; then remove and beat
steadily until it can be spread with

LA BAHIA TO BE RESTORED.
Movement Begun to Preserve Ancient
Mission Building.

GOliad. Textile ancient La Bahia
mission building. rCar Goliad. is to be
rehabilitated and preserved, if the
movement which has been started
among patriotic Texans with those
purposes in view succeeds. 1t was in
this old mission that 500 men under
command Of Col. Fannin were massa-
cred by large force of MeXicans, at
Santa Annals orders, on May I, 1886.
The walls of the church were stained
with the blood of the Texans. No
quarter was given by the Mexicans. The
bodies of the slain were horribly mu-
tilated. The news of this massacre
aroused the Texans and gave them the
frenzied courage which soon afterward
resulted in the overwhelming defeat Of
