 Several lessons had preceded this one and we were allowed to scan a note book of one of the pupils. When our eyes rested on dish washing we were even more ardent. This has been much neglected art in many homes and the cause of many frowns and disgrundled families. Our joy at finding this solu- tion to the dreaded drudgery a part of lesson No. 1 gave impetus to our appre- 'ciation of the same. Anybody can make taffy or tea, but few can wash the dishes. The memoranda admonished to use as few utensils as possible, and to cleanse them immediately aften use. Think of the great good to mother when the young girl learns to leave no piled up dishes and utensils in the kitchen sink, and what help to keeping a fam fly cook.
 This class of eight young women have learned this art and are applying it in their weekly lessons
 Right before us they prepared a de- 'lightful fruit punch. and served it with delicate waters, of the kind cook used to make for grandma, and thus through this medium of entertaining their friends they are taught service and the arrangement and decoration of the table

While he favors the Lever bill for the government licensing of cotton warehouses and the Glass amendment to the currency act, allowing banks to issue bank mates up to 100 per cent of their capital and surplus, MT. Wilson is understood to believe both can go over until the regular session.
 As outlined by the President, the programme for the December session will include the Philippine bills, re- mainder of Secretary Lanes conserva- tion programme and the government shipping bill and cotton Legislation.

Tense Day for Paris

Paris, October 24-(5:30 D. m.)-Paris has lived through another tense day with no decisive news of the battle on which the safety of the capital, and perhaps of France, is believed to depend. Anxiety has appeared in all the weak. It has seemed as though each day must see the continuation of the titanic efforts of the two great armies.
 Paris shops. which have been doing much business since the first of the month, are nearly empty again. while the crowds have increased around the newspaper offices, discussing the frag- ments of news posted on bulletin boards.
 The crowd is greatest at the headquar- ters of the military government of Paris in the Boulevard des Invalides where official announcements are issued The people gather also at the Villette gate, through which runs the main highway toward the north, to see the dispatch bearers arriving in motor cars or on motorcycles.
 Fighting is proceeding within one hour s ride of Paris by swift motor when the roads are clear. Some persons say that when the wind is right cannonading can be heard in the northern suburbs.
 Conveys of automobile ambulances from Paris hospitals have gone to the front to convey the wounded, not to Paris, but to hospitals near the firing lines. Extraordinary precautions are be- ing taken against wheeled vehicles. in cluding bicycles, leaving the limits of the so-called entrenched camp of Paris, which includes the departments of Seine and Seine ct Disc. Even pedestrians are ex- amined along the roads near Paris and French officers frequently are obliged to show their papers, under new instruc- tions. owing to the use of French uni forms by spies
 The minister of war will not grant a permit to approach within 20 miles of the fighting line unless it is counter signed by General Joffre.

Object of Germans

Berlin. October 24.-(6:2S D. m.. via The Hague and London October %, 12:45 a. m.)--Discussing operations around Nieport. Major Morah. military correspondent of the Tageblatt says the German object is to remove ob- stacles to an advance on Dunkirk, Ca ; lais and Boulogne. The allies artillery and the English monitors are unable to check this advance but, the writer adds undoubtedly special counter measures" will be taken soon to par alyze this attack on the sea
 "Whi1e the enemy is unwilling to admit German successes the allies evi 2 dentlv are gravely concerned for the safety of Calais, showing what they expect farther southward and west ward. At Lille the Germans are com pelline the allies to concentrate an at tack on them, thereby preventing the latter from participating in fighting along the coast Some successes have been scored west of Lille. warranting the hope that the Germans will soon advance beyond the line of Bailleul ane La Bassee. when reciprocal rela- tions between the operations in the two sections will become evident.
 In Suwalki the Russians are trying to check the German advance but they have been repulsed. One circumstance of ereat significance for the Russians is particularly evident. the heavy losses of cannon, machine guns and small arms. It is estimated that the Ger mans and Austrians already have taken 1900 cannon and machine guns and hundreds of thousands of rifles Re newal of these supplies is not easy. Russia must rely upon the Putiloff Iron works, which operates slowly and produces only certain kinds of guns. Great difficulty will be encountered in the manufacture of heavy guns and howitzers.
 Captain Persius, naval specialist of the Tageblatt says that Vice Admiral Kato. commanding the attack on Tsiniau. was trained in the German navy.

Wild raccoons that are found in the Maine woods are like children in a great many ways They can be trained to do things though they are born under different influences.
 Adolph Gilblair ot Skowhegau. Me, has two pet coons which he has trained and cares for daily. He got these coons from a farmer about four months ago. and they are now as play Wl as kittens and will frolic with each other, rolling over and over like two ittle dogs, and they do not show any savage or wild disposition. They are le. out into the dooryard and will run about and when tired will stretch out on the doorstep in the sun.
 They are very keen to danger and if dog approaches they will climb to the top of an apple tree. They are kept in a yard of their own in night time and they have a large hollow log that they can go into. They curl up together ike two kittens and sleep.
