stiff brush. like tooth brush. The latter
will also freshen black net on which some

Useful Hints for House and Larder

ICOLD chicken or veal, or both together
~ may be made into a delicious mock
| terrapin, suitable for n luncheon dish, or
| for supper. Make a white sauce of one
| tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoon
| fuls of flour, and one cup of milk. Add two
well beaten eggs to the hot sauce, and
about two cupfuls of the chicken and veal,
cut into dice. As soon thoroughly hot
add a wineglassful of sherry and a dash
of Cayenne pepper.
A lily salad will make an attractive
dish for an Easter luncheon or dinner.
Cut one hard boiled egg into slices, re
move the yolk, season it with salt and pep
per and chop it fine. Put three or four
lettuce leaves together with hollow
centre, and slip ring of the white of egg
over the bottom. Into the hollow put
chopped beets and the yolk, and serve with
French dressing. Canned beets will have
to be used at this season.
Small tubs Iade of boiled carrots, cut
off at the end, so that each portion will
stand upright on a plate, are scooped out
and filled with French peas when one
wants to serve a particularly attractive
vegetable course. 1t also adds a distinc-
tive color note to The table.
Carrot balls may be made from four or
five large carrots put through ricer,
mixed with white sauce, and seasoned and
then nodded into a dozen small balls.
Cook in deep fat, like croquettes.

Modern War Fireworks.

The most elaborate fireworks in the
world are those reserved for use In
time of war. The possibilities of sig
mailing for long distances and OF H.
Illuminating the enemy's position by
night have been carefully studied and
fireworks of unprecedented size and
brilliancy have been constructed.
Let another great war be fought and
the fireworks display would completely
eclipse our most elaborate Fourth OF
July celebrations. One of the most
beautiful of these fireworks is star
shell. BY means of large rocket ar
rangement these stars are sent to
great attitudes, and on bursting throw
a powerful white light over a cOnsid-
cradle radius.
The war rockets are the largest ever
constructed, measuring eight feet or
more in length. On exploding at great
attitudes combinations of colored stars
are set free which will signal widely
scattered troops.

MERELY A LAW OF NATURE
What At First Looks Like Peculiar
ity Of Running Water Is Easy
Of Explanation.

Have you ever noticed, when the
water has almost all run out OF the
DHthtub, how the light particles on
TIE surface seem then to race out
Yuch faster than the water? AS a
natter Of fact, they are travelling
Aster than most OF the water; but
40 faster than that on the surface.
The reason Is not far to seek Run
ring water, even in river, goes at
different rates; but fastest on the top
surface right in the nlidle OF the
stream. Friction with the sides and
bottom makes the water there go
more slowly. So the light particles
on top OF the water in the bathtub,
rush ahead at good rate.
This popularity In rivers is utilized
by boatmen when they have to 60 up
. swift stream; they always paddle
up near the bank. And at curves, as
the water swings outward. they take
the inside bank; for there the water
Is almost still. On the other hand, in
coming down, the very center of the
stream is chosen.-Sunday Magazine.
