Short Suggestions.


1t is better to cook too slowly than
too fast.
Vinegar diluted with water will re.
move grease from a stove.
Marble should be washed with am.
monia and water rather than with soap
and water.
A great many blemishes on wall
paper may be removed with rubber
on q lead pencil.
The bureau drawer can be made to
open easily and noiselessly by rubbing
it with common soap.
Dried lemon peel sprinkled over
Goals will destroy any disagreeable
odor about the house.
Combs soon warp and break If
washed with water. A good stiff nail
brush cleans them well.
A weak solution of turpentine poured
down the water pipes once a week will
drive the water bugs away.
To cool an oven while baking never
leave the door open, but cool it by the
drafts or removing one of the plates
over the oven.
If you scorch a garment when iron
ing it rub lump Of dry starch on the
mark, then sponge it off. Repeat til,
the yellow disappears.
Half a lemon dipped in salt is ex.
cellent for cleaning copper articles
Oxalic acid, too, is equally successful
both for copper and brass.
An India-rubber hot water bottle is
easily cleaned. Wash it well with
luke-warm water and soap, rubbing Oh
the soap with piece of flannel.
Remove grease stains by saturating
the spots with alcohol rather than ben
zine. Alcohol does not leave a ring
around the spot afterward. Wash with
cold water.
One often hears complaints that the
boiler ruins and iron molds the clothes.
To prevent this, as soon as the boiler
Is emptied rub well with soap. This
will not only prevent rust it will also
help to make suds for the next boiling.

SABLE ISLAND PONY HUNTS.
Catching the Wild Horses Which Inhabit
the Place Of Wrecks.

When the supply of horses runs low in
Nova Scotia an expedition goes to Sable
island, rounds up a herd of wild ponies,
selects the best of the lot, lassoes them
and transports them to the mainland
and captivity. Most persons know Sable
island as one of the places where the
transatlantic liners are picked up by
wireless and reported and also as the
place of shipwrecks, but the wild horses
constitute an interesting feature of it.
Sable island is about 100 miles south
east of Cape Canso. 1t is often con-
fused with Cape Sable island, which is
the southwestern extremity of Nova
Scotia. 1t doesn't fit in with ones ideas
of horse ranch, in fact many persons
has about 200 square miles of territory
and is fairly fertile. 1t was treeless
until the government began to plant
trees there in order to make the island
more conspicuous to mariners.
The ponies thrive and are hardy lot
They prefer the open, refusing the
rough shelters which persons with an
their comfort. When a storm comes, as
it does frequently, the horses gather in
hOllows between the sandhills and line
up as if for a battle. The herds arrange
themselves with the colts in the center.
the mares next. then the stations and
the master stallion of the herd in the
most exposed situation.
The roundup comes at least once a
year and is exciting sport. The island
is swept from end to end and the horses
driven into a large pound. The roping
of those marked down for shipment is a
hazardous task and equals bronco
busting tournament in spectacular inter-
est. When a horse is thrown and tied
he is loaded ANONYMOUSLY onto wheel
barrow and carted to surf boat which
takes him to the Halifax steamship.

Proper Food Put Him Right.
The food experience of physician

from sickness and when needing nOur-
ishment the worst way is valuable:

near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition l could not
retain any ordinary food. / knew of
course that | must have food nourish-
ment or 1 could never recover.
81 began to take four teaspoonfuls of
Grape Nuts and cream three times a
day and for two weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted so delicious
that I enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing
I was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks in which the stomach is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
Il am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are
otherwise lost from lack of nourish-
ment."
Absolutely the most perfect food in
the world. Trial of Grape-Nuts 10
days proves. There's a Reason"

PARIsIAAN GAMBLERS DUPED.
A Clever Ruse Enables Robbers to Take
Their Money.

It has just been learned that a
''Koepenick" coup has been successfully
brought off on the Maison Laffitte, the
well known Partisan club.
High gaming goes on in the club,
which some time ago evaded a police
raid only by getting previous warming
While the gaming tables were crowded
seven we'll dressed men entered, and the
leader announced in an impressive of
fetal manner: II am a police commits
sary, and in the name of the law, l for
bid any one to leave the building"
Then the doors were locked, while the
''commissary' gathered up all the money
on the tables-about $4,000. He then
proceeded to take the names and ad
dresses of everybody present, and an
nounced that a prosecution would follow.
After that nothing happened for some
days, but one or two of the leading
members of the club decided to try and
square the commissary. When they
went to his Office they found that the
real commissary was a different man al
together, and knew nothing about the
"raid."

The American Voice.

l think myself that what. as much as
anything else, laid the foundation of the
American voice was the nervous i'll
health, lasting over three or four genera
tions, of the American woman. Up to
the middle of the Nineteenth century.
and even beyond, foreigners were sur
prised when they came across healthy
looking woman. The isolation of frontier
life, the general tension of the American
climate, malaria, bad diet and worse
sanitation, combined to turn oIe-half the
nation into semi-invalids; and the thin,
sharp, slovenly, staccato tones of the
American woman were as often as not
the result of physical and nervous de
preston. l do not say that i'll health
was the sole cause, but it is undOubted-
" the fact that as the health of Amer
leans has improved so have their voices.

WHERE A GREAT ARTIST ERRED.
Da Vinci's "Feast Of Cana, Contains In.
correct Architecture.


German archaeologists excavating in
Galilee came upon a hill or large
mound under which they found the
fairly well preserved walls of a
house dating from the time of Christ
which belonged to the dwelling of we'll
TODD man. A large clubhouse also un-
earthed contained jars which evidently
had contained wine and olive oil.
The foundations of the house are so
well preserved that there will be no diff
Guilty in making an exact plan of the
rooms, which are similar in character
and design to those in which the famous
supper of Cana in. Galilee took place.
These rooms are wholly unlike the
conception of Leonardo da Vinci and
other painters, who have treated this
subject. The room in which the water
was turned into wine probably was not
more than twenty feet long by ten wide
and had a low roof. There were stone
benches around the walls and recess
in the wall facing the east, in which
perhaps the giver of the feast sat.

BUCKWHEAT DIET ASSAILED.
A Reformer Who Would Replace 1t with
Beechnuts and Apples.

There are buckwheat eaters in New
York state who set theirasponge to rise
Thanksgiving day or sooner and never
see the bottom of that buckwheat batter
jar again till the first of May. Buck
wheat cakes, pork sausage, fried pota-
toes, coffee every morning for the next
four months! Is it any wonder after
three or four months of such a diet, at
the same time living in close, superheat-
ed homes, filthy with breathed air, that
the bodily resistance is broken down and
usual crop of pneumonia cases with its
harvests of death? Meantime, there are
a few of us who are wise to this little
game, and so we are just lying low liv-
ing on beechnuts and apples, taking the
best care of this body we know how,
doing our work sanely and sweetly, pay
ing no doctor bills, supporting no drug
shops, gin mills or pill factories. We
have no cemetery lots engaged and no
dates with the undertaker.-Open Road

Peter Cooper,s Locomotive.

The first attempt to use engines in
the United States for any other than ex-
perimental purposes was in 1929, by the
Hudson and Delaware Canal company
from Carbonate to Honesdale, Pa, a
distance of sixteen miles. The engines
were made in England. In the follow
ing year Peter Cooper built the first To-
connective in the United States. 1t
weighed less than a ton; it's boiler was
about the size of flour barrel, and its
fiues were made of gun barrels. Mr..
Cooper was highly elated because his
engine made better time than the horses
of other ailroads.-Canadian Magazine.

CORRECTS BIT OF HISTORY.
Neither CORVALLIS Nor Washington Took
Part in Surrender

History as told by the old to the young
is very often stranger than fiction, espe-
cially when family annals and traditions
are the sources of the narrative, says
the Boston Transcript. Here is a vener-
able southerner who is narrating to
younger southerners how his venerable
grandfathers once told him of seeing
CORVALLIS at the surrender of York
town tender his sword to Washington
point foremost, and Washington compel
him to reverse its position.
1t is a pity to spoil Washington
anecdote considering how scarce new
Washingtoniana are, but the fact is
that CORVALLIS was not present at the
ceremonies of surrender, being ''indis-
posed" The humiliating duty of sur
rendering the defeated army was dele
gated to Gen. O'Hara, and Gen. Lincoln,
in behalf of the allied Americans and
French, received the weapon which
OHara rendered.

PARIS FOR MORE PARKS.
A Plan That Will Heighten the Beauty
of the French CAPITAL

At last a much-discussed project of
identifying Paris is on the way of be-
ing carried out. 1t is proposed to raze
the Notifications that form wall about
the city and convert them with the mill
tary zone in front of them into beautiful
parks and play grounds.
This would make a belt of parks
around Paris more extensive than the
park system of any other city. There
would be nine parks of 960 acres each
The ancient walls and Notifications
serve no purpose in this day of long
range guns except to make it easier for
customs officers to keep smugglers out

are various and depend on the physical

and the nature of the surrounding atmos-
