WORTH KNOWING

A DELICIOUS way OF serving oat-
meal is with maple sugar and
cream. Shave the sugar and pour the
cream around t. This may be eaten
warm or cold.
Paper wrappings should never be left
on meat or any other damp kinds OF
food longer than is really necessary.
Paper (being a compound Of wood.
lime. etc. with acids and various
chemicals. intermixed) is clearly not m
for keeping such things IN for any
length of time.

it well on the marks. IL viii also re-
move mud stains from dress skirts,

To render boots and shoes waterproof
in damp weather rub a little mutton
suot round the edges of the soles. Bees
wax is Just as efficacious.
After making sandwiches place them

TO polish side combs dry some flour
thoroughly in tho oven and then let II

sure that the wadding Is clean.
When using marking ink for linen
first make your initials on the linen
with an ordinary lead pencil and then
trace with your ink over the pencil
marks. The pencil will prevent the ink
from spreading and giving the linen a
blotted appearance.

Way to Remove Tattoo Marks.

Once tattooed, always tattooed, was
formerly the rule; but a French army
surgeon, DR.. Tranchant, has discover
ed method Of removing tattoo
marks, whether made with India ink
or lampblack. According to La Ma
ture, the process consists OF first rub
bing the skin until thin layer of the
surface is worn away, then applying a
mixture of lime, Stacked just before
use, and powdered phosphorus. The
tattooed part having been coated with
this paste, a piece Of gauze is laid
over it, covered with a bandage. The
dressing is removed after 4S hours.
The scab is allowed to dry in the air,
and comes away In about fortnight,
without leaving scar. II any trace
of the tattooing then remains. the
treatment is repeated. DR.. Tranchant
claims to have applied this treatment
in a great many cases with perfect
success.

said. was not present.
Don't you worry about him" said
Bill, again rising. Hes right here,

TO Representative Waters, sitting
close at hand.
The question OF placing the bill on

had just 63 votes, and the house must
consider toe bill now. There Is no
chance for smoldering 10.

COMPOSER FOND OF SOLITUDE
SO M. Massenet Discouraees Long
Visits From Friends, but With.
out Giving Offense. 49,

The composer. M. Jules Massenet.
has a beautiful estate at Egreville.
and he does most of his work there,
because in Paris he Is rarely free
from visitors. But Egreville is not so
very far away from Paris, and occa-
sionally his friends go out there and
with the best intentions In the world
disturb Jules Massenet at his work.
Massenet. however, never let's his
friends disturb him very long. He
has a neat way of suggesting their
departure. He receives them cordial
ly and in answer to the inevitable
phrase of admiration for his house
and grounds he always says exactly
the same thing. "Yes." says M. Mas,
senet, "the principal charm of this
place is that the railway communica-
tions are so bad. The only decent
train to get you out here brings you
here at 1 o'clock, and to get back to
Paris with anything like comfort you
will have TO leave again at 2 o'clock"
But one day a friend who had TAX,
en- country house ten or twelve
miles away arrived on a visit. He
and his son had come on bicycles.

is horribly dangerous. l. wish you
