HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A liberal use of hot soda water and a scrubbing brush will insure clean sink for the tidy housekeeper. If the sink becomes black a bit of paraffin rubbed on will remove the stain.
 To remove grass stains from chill dren's clothes, rub the spots thorough Iy with a little fresh lard a short time before washing. Then wash as usual and the spots should come out.
 Don't pour water in which cabbage has been boiled down the kitchen sink while it is hot. If it is allowed to cool first the unpleasant odor that follows when it is poured will be avoided.
 To make ginger and nut sandwiches, cut up one part of preserved ginger to two parts of nuts, molSten With Syr- up of the ginger or with thick cream and spread between slices or bread.
 A novel ham sandwich is made thus: Chop very fine some lean, cold ham, mix with a little salad dressing or cream, season and spread between the slices of white bread, cut thin and buttered.
 A good way to bleach linen or lace is to put it into a bowl of soapy water and set it out in the strong sunlight If it be exposed to dirst and dust place a glass over the bowl.
 Now that the apple has lost its best flavor by cold storage, it may be made into an appetlzlnS Sdlao With onions. Cut together in thin slices and serve on lettuce leaves with oil and vinegar.
 The best complexion cream is but termilk-several glasses of it drunk every day. Nothing that is smeared on the outside of the face will match it for clearing and brightening the skin.
 A charming bed cover can be made of soft, sheer, pineapple linen, trim med with lace beading. Through this run ribbon and tie in big bows at the corners. The whole can be edged with Valenciennes lace.
 Cambric petticoats vii last much longer if piece of wide tape, is stitched flat on the hem of the dust ruffle. This will keep the hem from cutting at the edge and ravelling where the skirt first shows signs Of wear.
 Fruit jars are best marked with la bels cut off passepartout ribbon. Use the white heavily gummed ribbon and print the name of the fruit in back ink Thus mistakes as to the contents of the various jars will be avoided.

of view. The dirigible, they say, is certainty and has demonstrated it's usefulness as war machine not only for scouting purposes, but for carry Ing materials and men and weapons which could be used to great adyan- tage.
 This announcement on the merits of the dirigible by the officers of the general staff is the present decision on the controversy which has been maintained by the partisans of the two types since the aeropIane came into the aeronautic field The army has faith in the dirigible. despite the accidents to the Zeppelin ships and has not faith in the aeroplane what ever hope there is of it's further de- velopment.
 It is the ultimate purpose of the signal corps, according to the general plan which has been adopted, to es- tablish the aerial corps as subsidiary to the coast artillery corps. Stations will be established for the big airships at forts along the coast so that they may be ready for service either in connection with the naval engagements in case of attack by a foreign navy As a part of their practice work the big ships will sail up and down the coast in order to train themselves for their work as a sort of aerial scout ing line trimming the entire country.
 If Congress, which has shown much opposition to such an innovation as flying machines, can be persuaded to adopt the point of view of the general staff, it would not be an unusual sight, within a year or two, to see a huge cigar-shaped dirigible sailing over any coast city.
 It is expected, at least, that the in- terest in dirigibles which has waned iy, fha hn ri i06 Brothers demonstrated the possibili- ties of the aeroplane will revive again and it is hoped that further improvements over the Zeppelin type, making them still more valuable for air navigation, will be brought about.
