War Drums Ordered Out.

1t was some time ago that, acting
In report by military commission,
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er a necessary article of military
equipment. The report set forth that
the drum was serious encumbrance
In marching; that rain impaired its
usefulness; that its calls could not be
distinguished in time of battle; that 1t
consumed a period OF two years to
turn out an efficient drummer; and
that by abandoning the use Of the
drum many thousands of youths and
men would be released for active
service.
Since the decision OF the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decree
ing that the drum must CO."
The history of the drum Is both an.
cient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed 1t, and the Greeks ascrlbed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conqueror Pizarro is said to have found
drums in South American temples.
The snakes Of Ireland, we are told,
fled from the Emerald Isle before the
drum-beats of st. Patrick. The Puri-
tans of New England used the drum
as a church bell, and it figured fire.

FOR STRENGTH AND GRACE
Proper Training Of Boys Muscles ls
Something Worth Highest De-
gree of Consideration.

In the American Magazine DR..
Charles X. Taylor of Philadelphia
writes an interesting and practically
helpful article entitled your Boy and
His Muscles" in which he gives eug-
gestions as to proper exercises for
young boys. Following is an extract
from his article:
First Of all, when a child is In a
poor condition Of which the basic
cause is some remediable physical de-
feet there is little use in giving spe-
cial exercises until the defect is re-
moved. For instance, breathing ex-.
ercises cannot be nearly as effective
as they should be for child suffering
from large adenoids, nor can you ex-
pect good results when a child has
some physical irritation inducing nerv-
Gus effects of different kinds. Above
all, you should always know the state
Of the childs heart. If the heart is
good, and If there are no serious reme-
diable defects to interfere with your
obtaining good results, then you can
take up the matter Of special exer-
cises with some degree of confidence.
when you find just where your boy
Is lacking, whether in chest expan-
sion, shoulder girth, arms, and SO on,
or perhaps in posture, II he is hollow
chested with shoulders bent forward,
then you can take up the exercise sug-
gested for the different needs. And
right here is a word of caution, which
will be repeated now and then. Never
carry an exercise beyond the time
when fatigue begins. Do not continue
1t to exhaustion; but when the boy
begins to feel tired stop at once, IL
1t Is only after two or three motions!
1T interests the boy a great deal,
too, to keep account OF his physical
measurements. II these are taken
once a month his interest is kept up,
and he is stimulated when he finds
that he is actually gaining. Finally,
do not carry on special exercise
after 1t Is no longer necessary. What
you desire Is good, all-around devel-
opment, and when this is attained spe-
cial work should cease and general ex-
ercise be carefully continued. 1t
should be said, too. that such work
can never be considered as a substi-
tute for outdoor play. This latter is
vitality necessary for all children.
These exercises are to be used as ad-
juncts-to bring up to standard any
set of muscles which are under-devel-
oped."

USES FOR PRESERVE JUICE
May Be Made the Basis for Many
Dainty Desserts and Cooling
Beverages.

Many housekeepers find at this time
of the year that they have certain
amount Of canned fruit and fruit juices
left from the winters supply. These
make the basis for many dainty des.
Berts and cooling beverages for the
warmer weather.
There are many ways in which fruit
Juices can be used. A delicious blanc
mango can be made with the fruit
juice used as flavoring. The juices
can be boiled and used as pudding
rauce. They can also be used in ice
cream. One very delicious pudding
sauce Is made by boiling any kind OF
fruit juice, and when thick, adding a
few chopped nuts and small bits OF
tandied orange peel.
To make cooling and delightful
spring dessert take a pint of fruit
juice or the blended juices of various
fruits. When heated to boiling thicken
with cornstarch wet in little cold
water, Mold the fruit pudding and
serve with a little whipped cream.
The housekeeper who has plenty OF
Jam left over from winter, and who
desires a pleasant variation for des.
serts can utilize some Of it in making
jam Ice cream. To make this delicious
ice cream add one tumbler Of fruit
Jam and one tablespoonful of sugar to
one quart of cream. After this is
thoroughly incorporated in the cream,
strain through wire sieve to take out
the seeds. In this way strawberry,
raspberry and blackberry jam may be
used, and the result is delicious.

allowing to every two tablespoonfuls
one ounce Of butter and tablespoon
full Of water.

Wood Restored.

Woodwork which has grown dull
with time and the accumulation OF
dust may be restored by first cleaning
thoroughly with kerosene on a flannel
cloth. 1t should then be polished with
mixture Of two parts of turpentine

a soft cloth and rug with flannel until
every trace OF the liquid seems to have
disappeared. Repeated applications
and continued rubbing will give a
fresh gloss to wood trim or mahogany
