HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

For a. dainty and easily made desert, try Sl1c1ng oranges and spr1nk1ng a layer of the fruit with grated or shred ded fresh cocoanut. Let it stand half an hour before serving. Sugar may be added if the oranges are not sweet.
 To make a good sweet potato pie take a cup of mashed sweet potato a teaspoonful of cinnamon, half a tea spoonful of salt, same of nutmeg and ginger, half a cup of sugar, cup of milk and one well-beaten egg. Bake for half an hour in a slow oven.
 A savory breakfast dish may be made as follows: One large cup of of 8. sweet green pepper cut fine, all Drowned well in pan literally greas- ed with butter and then four eggs stirred in until the eggs are set.
 To remove grease spots from wall paper. sprinkle baking soda over blot ting paper and place over the spot and press with a moderately warm iron for a. few minutes. The plotting paper will absorb the grease and the paper on the wall will be free from spots.
 To clean silk and woolen clothes of grease spots, they may be gently rub bed with a cake of magnesia, laid away for several days, and then shaken out It will not hurt to press the magnesla in with a. hot iron, first covering the fabric with brown paper.
 The white of egg, slightly beaten and the crushed shell of the egg is enough to clarify a quart of strained soup. Stir the soup constantly after adding the egg and shell, let it boil hard for a few minutes, set it on the back of the range to- settle. and then strain.
 When it is desired to carry a candle into a. draftY cellar attic where there is danger of it blowing out Or setting the clothes on fire, a short candle should be placed in a tun1bler being fastened there by it's own wax. It will then burn steadily and safely.
 Bananas are rarely found in this country ripe enough to be digestible, although they may be perfectly vel low. To properly ripen them so that they will be excellent food, buy a bunch and hang it up in a dry place with the stem in water. In a few days they will be much improved.
 A piQuant salad dressing may be made of sour milk or cream. Take the yolk of a. hard-boiled egg and rub it until it is quite smooth. Then add half a cupful of sour cream and a tablespoonful of vinegar with Suff1- cient salt, pepper and sugar to over come any unpleasant taste of the cream.
 To make beeswax, place the honey comb in a. coarse muslin bag and put in a small stone to weight the con- tents. Put into kettle, cover with water and boil. The wax comes to the top of the water and the sedim ment remains at the bottom of the kettle. When the water is allowed to cool the wax forms Q solid cake.

STANDARD PATTERNS.

& Go. say about them. The fight is won. Two or three years ago all the women's periodicals known to man entered the Fashion Field and be- gan supplying patterns. This field had been the one we'd occupied for years. The fight for the business was on. It has been a merry one a strenuous one. We got back all the business we lost during the war for the trade, strictly on account of the superior merits of the Standard Pat terms. As an illustration R. H. White & O., Boston, Mass, one of the larg- est department stores in that city, about a year ago placed on sale the Standard Patterns in preference to those they had and their sales in creased in this department 62 per cent, this evidence should tell who's who and what's what

RUFFIANS INVEST
 BRUCE'S BROOK.
 ~~ = DNOOA9 WAYLAY WAYFARERS

The neighborhood of Bruce's brook, between Stratford avenue and Bar mum avenue is becoming 9 terror to people living in Stratford and Bridge port who have occasion to pass through it. A number of men have been held up by ruff1ans, who appear to have robbery in view. The latest occurrence of the kind was Saturday evening when Charles Kildey, la borer, was held up near Bruce ave- nue, by two men. who seized him and tried to hold him. Kildey yelled lustily. One of the men placed his hand over Kildey's mouth. The other began to beat the victim.
 But K1dey, nevertheless, continued to scream. His assailants at last be- coming frightened, ran away, leaving Kildey much the sorer for his experi- ence. Kildey is not certain whether or not he would be able to recognize the ruff1ans. They were young men, he says, and that is about all he is clear upon.
 One side of Bruce's brook is in Stratford, and the other side is in Bridgeport. The ruf1ans operate near the boundary in order to pass conveniently from the Jurisdiction of one place to that of the other, it is believed, as a means of foiling an eff fort to arrest them while they are committing their crimes.

YOUNG LADIES SING


 Soloists who assisted at the meet ing for men at the Y. M. c. A. yester- day afternoon were Nanchen Adams, Alice and Mabel Bump. Miss Adams beautifully clear and facile soprano voices showed to unusual advantage, as did her art, in that brilliant and diff flcult work of Cowen, 'HThe Swa1- Iows." and brought applause from every man.
 70 Dry Those Tears,'' was especial ly adapted to bring out the rich, smooth, sympathetic quality of Miss Mabel Bumps voice and her treat ment of this favorite solo made a deep impression
 Miss Alice Bump had the double opportunity and responsibility of be- ing both accompanist and one of the soloists, but she was equal to both proving to be most intelligent and unselfish accompanist and winning her share of the applause as so1oist.

 BLEW ENGINE
 FROM TRACK
Especial from United Press.)

Cumberland, Md, March 21.-The main gas pipe of a natural gas com pany burst in the middle of the Sparks from a passing switch engine ignited the gas, causing an explosion which blew the engine completely from the track. John Close, fireman, was injured and it is feared he will die. The flames lighted up the sur territory and the heat in the vicinity became oppressive. The gas is still burning and it will probably be necessary to cut off the entire supply before it can be extinguished.
