For Busy Housewives

Knives which have been used for
onions and smell of them can be
cleaned by drawing them through a
piece of carrot two or three times.
To remove hot-water marks from
japanned trays use sweet oil. Rub it
in well till all marks disappear then
polish the tray with dry -four and a
soft cloth.
When gilt frames or molding of
rooms have specks of dirt from flies
and other causes upon them they may
be cleaned with white of egg applied
with a camel-hair brush.
Peel onions from the root upward
and they will not make your eyes
smart.
Save cold tea left from supper and
use in place of water on your house
plants.
Starch should be mixed with soapy
water. for thus the linen will have a
more glossy appearance and be less
likely to stick to the iron Exchange.
They must use Maxim silencers
And smokeless powder, too. to boot.
We never see OF hear a thing
When all the buds begin to shoot.

THE UNEXPECTED ENDING

A certain type of story-that hav-
ing the sudden conclusion such as,
Willie Jones fired a gun yesterday,
the funeral will be tomorrow"-has
been claimed as purely American in
its origin. But as a matter of fact
this kind of story is older than
America itself. II you will turn to
II. Chronicles, xvi, u. 10, you will
find these words:
And Asa in the thirty and ninth
year of his reign was diseased in his
feet, until his disease was exceeding
great; yet in his disease he sought not
to the Lord. but to the physicians. And
Asa slept with his fathers"

CONTINUED from Saturday,

The water had changed to an inl<y
black, and the searchlights were of
little use. Now Ward shut off the
crafts engines entirely, and the
craft was kept going only by the
waters. The channel now changed
again, and the craft was borne along
towards the South once more. 1t
seemed as if the speed of the waters
were abating, and Ward admitted.
that strange as it seemed, the at
traction of gravity was not as bad
as it had been Instead of being
drawn towards the centre of the
earth they were shooting away from
it, towards the South Pole. Then
Ward made some calculations and
found that at their distance under
ground, and at speed of sixty miles
an hour, if the channel kept up in
the same line, they would come out
or the earth's crust on the other side
of the world. just twenty miles north
Of the pole in three days.
So they all turned In, trusting to
fate to save them from danger that
might threaten.

John Clark's Success

John Clark who had very ba&
parents made up his mind to I'd
away. He, with a little eats, boarded
a schooner which was to sail on tht
morrow to Australia. AS they werd
riding for about five days, he begA
to starve. After a terrible fight v
some rats, he was pulled up
sent to the captain. He was .tr9
very badly by the captain. As
landed in Australia, John saw
chance to escape. In his excitement
he ran into small yard. There was
a little girl who quickly hid him.
After a while her father came out and
saw John drawing battleship. His
hand was sore and he told John to
do some work for him. John did it
and the man received first prize in
the yacht race, This is John Clark 3
success.

CHAPTER III.
The Land of Gloom.

They had slept for seven hours
when Larry was brought to his
senses by hearing a distinctly human
knock on the side of the ship. He
found that they were not moving an
inch, and he reused the Others. They
entered the machine room, and there
on the outside of the ship they saw
the strangest sight that anyone has
ever looked at Instead of being in
the water. as they thought, they were
on land, and such land! Curious
creatures. like human beings, only
much smaller, were surrounding the
ship on all sides, but the only light
they saw was a queer white torch
that was carried by all in the crowd.
Overhead was a deep blue vault, that
was unpenetrable, and our friends
were very curious to know where
they had arrived. The instruments
read, to their amazement, that they
were only one hundred miles from
the surface of the earth, and that
they we're one hundred and sixty
miles from the pole. They must have
travelled in some strange Manner

Use A SILVER KNIFE
FOR CUTTING ACID FRUIT

Many of Us do know. but do not
put the knowledge into practise, that
we should never prepare acid fruits
with a steel knife.
The best utensils to use are nickel
or silver knives.
such fruits as pineapples and
strawberries have a peculiar taste
when cut by steel surface.
The silver knife is better for rhu-
barb and also for pineapple. An old
silver fruit knife could be kept in
the kitchen table drawer and used in
stead of the regular steel one.

Tar on White Buckskin Shoes

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me how to remove tar
from white buckskin shoes? Thank
ing you in advance, JEAN Mop.
I doubt the possibility of COM
pletely removing the stain. How.
ever. the following method is worth
trying:
Scrape off as much tar as possi-
Bile. Then soften the spot with a
little lard, letting it remain on for
some time. Then sponge the spot
thoroughly with chloroform, using
a clean piece of flannel for the pur-
pose.

Accurate Investigations CIR
simultaneously in various pal
the world through "a long series of
years have demonstrated that the
sun does not give out constantly the
same amount of heat, but the varia-
ton is so great as to amount to ten
degrees on the earth's surface. In
other words our sun is a variable
star. 1t has long been known that
other stars vary in the amount of
light they send forth. notably Mira
in the constellation of Cetus. but It
required the most refined investga-
lions with the most elaborate checks
to prove that this was the case with
the sun. One of the Instruments Is
so delicate that it can measure one
millionth part of a degree of heat
1t is found that the amount OF heat
is connected with the spots on the
sun and, curiously enough, more
spots more heat. Thus we have one
factor in the changes of terrestrial
temperature although 1t is only one..
Our seasons are caused by the incli-N
nation of the earth's equator to the
ecliptic and the heat is greater in
summer when the suns rays fall
most directly on the earth. But as
the amount of heat varies, and as
the radiation, reflection. ETC., also
vary, we have very complex sys-
tenn of weather
1t is believed by the Smithsonian
Institution that eventually we shall
gain enough knowledge on the sub
ject to make much more accurate
weather predictions than at presen.,
and for a much more longer time in
advance. Unhappily no hope is held
out that science can reduce the
amount of heat in summer or in
crease it in winter in any particular
locality.-Ph Philadelphia Inquirer.

Good Form

The simplest form of introduction
is the best-"Mrs. A, let me present

is given to stranger, a call should
first be made.
A call upon the hostess is ohliga
tory after an invitation to a must
Gale, dinner, breakfast or luncheon.
A resident of a town or village
can call with propriety on any new
conner, and the newcomer should re-
turn this call if she desires to con-
tinue the acquaintance.
The time of calling is settled by
the customs of the place. but after
o'clock and before is generally
correct.
The afternoon tea may be formal
or informal. At an informal affair
the tea table may be placed i'm a
corner of the parlor or drawing
room and the tea served by the
hostess herself or a daughter Of the

Soak the beans over night. Slice

bottom of an earthern casserole. put
the beans on top. cover tightly and
let them bake slowly about one and
o half hours without any water. If
the oven is too hot put an old tin
can of cold water in the oven. This
will give it the necessary moisture
When tender add a little butter and
salt or a little olive oil.
With oil the most delicate stom-
ach will digest the beans, but if oil
Is used you have to replace them in
the oven again for about five min
utes to get the oil taste out. They
will have a nutty flavor and be
simply delicious.
