Latest War News.

London, Oct. 8.-Correspondence
from the headquarters of the Prus-
sian King states that the guns for the
Siege of Paris are in place and in an
other week the assault will be made.
He believes the assault will begin on
the anniversary of the battle of Leip-
sig, the 10th. The Germans count on
being in the city of Paris by the 10th.
They may not find the task so easy.
On the question of the Prussians
holding out and respecting the suffi-
cheney of them, there are variety OF
opinions. In the meantime the French
are beginning to make showing of
successful resistance. The depart
ments are opposing, step by step, the
advance of the Prussian corps now in
vesting the city. The near approach
of the horrors of bombardment excit-
es universal pity and sympathy here.
Eloquent advocates of meditation in
papers like the Standard are trying
to move the government to action.
The horrors disclosed after the siege
of Strasbourg, aid their appeals, but
the ministry manifests no show of
moving and the people await the re-
suit of the assault in dread and anx-
iety. An eloquent article in this
mornings Standard says the siege of
Paris is not called for. 1t is going to
far.

BE CAREFUL!
How to Wash Cut Glass Without
Breaking It.


In washing cut glass. especially that
which is deeply cut, never use hot wa
ter. If you do the thin places will
heat so much more suddenly than the
thick portions that they will expand
quickly and break the glass.
Have your cut glass in a warm room
for several hours before washing it
The water should be just warm, and
in it should be put generous amount
Of liquid ammonia. Then each piece
should be put into the bowl separate
~ and rolled over quickly, so that the
entire surface may become wet at
once. If the cutting is at all deep
rub all crevices with stiff brush COW
cred with a lather of ordinary soap.
Rinse the glass in another bowl con-
ture. to which has been added a
squeeze of blue from the washing blue
bag, then dry Immediately upon clean
and soft linen towel.
Should you wish to give an added
luster polish the glass with alcohol
Hold the piece of glass to be treated
over a clean basin and pour the alco-
hol-which must have been standing
in a warm room long enough to lose
it's chill-over the glass. letting it run
down into the basin beneath. so that
it will not be wasted Wipe dry in
stantly and polish with a soft piece of
linen and let the final polish be given
by a soft piece of old silk.

How to Use Some Economy Hints.

How to Use Some Economy Hints.
Air your dresses we'll and they new
er will seem stuffy. Clothes never
should be shut up in wardrobe i'm
mediately after they have been worn.
Let the bodice of a dress hang over
the back of chair for at least half
an hour before putting it away. The
oldest clothes can be kept fresh and
odorless if they be treated in this way.
Mildew is easily removed by lemon
Juice and plenty of sunshine. Put on
lemon juice and let stand in the sun
shine. Another method is to use a
paste compound of soft soap. table
spoonful of powdered starch. the juice
of one lemon and salt Cover the spot
with the paste and allow it to stand
forty eight hours. A second applica-
ton may be necessary.
When you break piece of fine brio
a-brac which has tubular projection,
while it may be very easy to glue 1t
together. you will find it likely to
break off again unless more securely
fastened. Slip small cork into the
broken end; then glue it to the broken
part and adjust both. Now both are
dght. One china repairer says that If
broken china is tied together and boil
ed in milk the pieces will adhere and
the article will last for many years.

COWS FOR SMALL FARMS
Various Factors Determine the Num-
Der of Cows it is Profitable to
Keep
(By A. J. Mcclure, Minnesota College
of Agriculture.)

(By A. J. Mcclure, Minnesota College
of Agricultural
The extent to which dairying should
be conducted on the farm depends up
on different conditions, such as the
size of the farm, the amount of help,
number of other stock kept, and, it
might also be added, the necessity of
making all the money possible.
When a farmer is in debt or has
needed improvements to make, the
greatest number of dairy cows that
can be fed and cared for properly on
the farm will bring the largest and
surest returns.
On a small farm a man can milk
from six to ten cows in connection
with the farm work and this number
may be increased in proportion to
the number of boys and girls to the
family. A farm boy who does not
learn to be a good mixer and who
cannot be depended upon to get the
milking done regularly and on time,
loses the better part of his farm
training. While the milking should
not be the women's work, it is not I'M
womanly to be able to help with the
milking when necessary and the
strength of body that comes from this
wholesome work and the knowledge
which it gives of a most important
factor of farming, should make it
desirable thing for every girl brought
up on a farm, especially when
family needs money, which often can
not be made except through the keep
ing of more cows.
On large farms, when considerable
other stock is kept and various prod
ucts sold, the number of cows MIXED
may not be so important, but on the
small farm, and especially in the
northern timbered section of the state
where the farm must be made to pay
with from twenty to forty acres under
the pillow, and frequently less-there it
is highly important to keep as many
cows as the farm will provide feed
for.
By feeding the crop to good dairy
cows, it's value may be increased two
or three times over what it would be
if sold direct from the farm. Crops
marketed in the form of butter-fat
bring higher prices than when sold
as crops and when the crops are fed
the land can be MANFRED, and this
means large yields, which are also
necessary on the small farms.

Good News for the Ladies.

We have no doubt the ladies will
appreciate the convenience of having
a we'll stocked millinery store in Sank
Centre where they can select just
what they want for a winter outfit,
and get their dresses, cloaks, ETC.,
made to order in the most approved
style. AS Mrs. Davis has purchased a
large stock of fall and winter millin-
cry goods and is now prepared to suit
any reasonable lady, and those who
are little unreasonable, with any
thing in the line of millinery, cloak
and dress making. She recognizes
the fact that money is scarse, and will
endeavor to keep the prices so low
that people who have but little money
can still afford to buy.
