Voices Heard From Airships.

We wonder how many people realize
the extraordinary extent to which 1t is
possible to hear from an airship ut
night. A man snoring in bed can ac-
tually be heard from great altitude,
and at 1000 feet, says Il pilot, it is
possible to hear people talking, dogs,
sheep, cartwheels, tramway cars,
troops marching, transport, artillery,
cavalry, and this without training"
For scouting purposes, aerial craft,
even in the present stage of their de-
velopment, must thus be most extra
ordinarily valuable.--London Globe.

SETTING THE COLORS.
An Expert Tells How to Wash Delicate
Fabrics SafeIv.

1t is always Il safe %precaution to set
the color in most wash fabrics. 1t is
decidedly worth while for delicate col
Ors. says the home economics depart
ment OF the University of Wisconsin.
Salt is Il valuable aid in making col
Ors fast. as it acts as Il mordant for
the substantive dyes most commonly
used for cotton and linen. \ handful
of salt in Il dish of cold water, how
ever. is not sufficient. The material or
garment must be placed in Il strong
til the water i cool. to obtain the best
results. Salt is cheap. is usually on
hand and is probably best for all
around use but the effect of brine is
said not to be lasting.
Among other good mordants are sug-
ar of lead for all colOrs except pink
and blue. saltpeter for pinks and blues.
vinegar for pinks, alum for green's,
mallve. puppies, etc.
The following proportions should be
used: To n gallon OF water add one
half cupful mild vinegar, two cupfuls
OF salt. tablespoonful of alum or
one tablespoonful of sugar of lead.
Faded blue garments are freshened
by rinsing in Il strong bluing solution.
Other delicate colors would often profit
by Il similar treatment in a dye solu-
ton of the same color.

A Bedouin tent is Il drafty place at

was snow on the desert. We used to
feed out Of Il huge round dish, tep of
us NJ a time. The fare was camel's
milk and bread in the morning, and in
the evening we generally had meat and
rice cooked with an enormous amount
of fat. During the day we appeased
our hunger by slipping strong black
coffee. At night there was always a
large group of men in the tents Of the
sheik and talk was carried on far into
the night. At times they would tell
stories in a beautiful manner to the
tune of Il single stringed violin, and
they would sing eXtempore songs by

Freshening Vegetables.

Lettuce, parsley and all other green
things may be kept deliciously fresh If
first washed in cold water. shaken and
then packed III a tin pail that has a
very tight cover. SO that the air NAV
not penetrate to them. This should be
set III a cool place.
In the case Of lettuce, when the cover
is removed the leaves will pop up, and
YOU will find them almost as crisp and
fresh as if they had just come from
the garden.
Even lettuce that has wilted will re-
vive wonderfully if subjected to a few
hours OF such treatment. TO purify
green's that are to be eaten raw use a
pinch of boric acid powder in the wa
ter in which they are washed.
