doned by the Muscovites after
about a year of occupation.
The fight for Riga has been es-
pecially interesting, because it
has involved the Germans in I'M
expected naval defeat. The Rus
slams have been able to make such
a good showing around Riga be-
cause of re-inforcements and be-
cause they could not be outflanked
until Riga vas captured. Failing
to force a passage to Riga by land,
the Germans undertook to cap
ture it from the sea. With II
battleships, many cruisers and
smaller crafts, including submar-
ines, they forced their way into
the bay Of Riga after sweeping
away the mines. They entered
the bay during a fog and much of
the fighting vas at close range in
the fog. The results are not yet
clearly known to the world at
large. The Russians declare
that a British submarine sank the
battle cruiser Moltke just outside
the bay and that in the bay IL
German cruisers, %destroyers and
submarines we're sunk. The Ger
mans admit the loss of only three
vessels.
During the naval operations
four barges filled with soldiers
attempted to make a landing
north of Riga, bnt the barges
we're destroyed by irregular Rus
sian forces and the entire landing
party was annihilated-that is to
say they were either killed or cap
tured. The victory has heart
ened the Russians, because il
demonstrates that their defensive
warfare on the water can be made
successful against much larger
forces and because it strengthens
their hold temporarily upon Riga
The losses at Riga were not
the only ones suffered by the Ger.
mans. Two French torpedo
boats sank a German destroyer
near Ostend and not far from
that port an English aviator
dropped a bomb on a submarine.
The Germans, however, deny the
a%viators story.
The German submarines con-
tinue to achieve some results. In
the week of the sinking of the
Arabic they disposed of British
shipping to the extent OF $4,000
tons, thus setting a record. The
last week, however, has not been
SO frightful in victims.
French aviators have also set q
record. Sixty-four machines
made a raid upon an ammunition
and gun factory in the province
of Baden and dropped $50 bombs
"with great precision" according
to the Paris official statement
Never before had so large
number of aeroplanes taken par
in a raid. All of the machines
returned safely. The Germans
have increased their operation
in this line and have bombardeG
numerous military points behind
the French lines.
The italian campaign has been
taking its normal course. Th'
fighting has been continued and
on the whole the Italians have
slightly improved their positions
| In Alsace the mountain fighting
between the Germans and French
has been lively, and the French
have made some captures o
trenches. In France and Fland'
ers there have been few battles

FUR COAT MUST FIT WELL
Expenditure Necessary for Proper
Sharing Always is Money
Well Laid Out.

One reason why many women look
so hopelessly clumsy and shapeless
in their fur coats-is because, owing to
the initial expense of such a garment
and the substantial cost of alteration
work on fur, any refitting process is
dispensed with; the benighted wearer
of the handsome sealskin or caracul
coat imagining that in a garment of
such obviously high price the niceties
of line that would be insisted upon in
a cheaper coat do not matter
This is fallacy and the woman who
wants to look her best always realizes
1t and, if she cannot afford to have a
$50 fur coat and pay SIS more to have
1t adapted to her figure, she contents
herself with less expensive wrap and
sees to it that the lines are correct.
There is no reason why any woman
sy in sealskin than in broadcloth, pro-
vided the sealskin is beautifully fitted,
for this fur is supple and graceful
when rightly managed, and falls into
most distinguished lines. Caracul
should be avoided by the stout woman
unless she can pay high price for
the soft, fine skins that give graceful
lines. Ponyskin is too glossy a fur for
the woman of redundant curves.
There is little trouble this year about
the fit at the back of sealskin coat,
Tor all the new ripple backs give a
straight, long line from the shoulder,
but if the fronts fare outward also

place objects cluttering the table at
his elbow
Inarticulate murmurs swelled and
ebbed, now louder, now more family
as the crowd surged forward or drew
hack, appalled, by that moveless,
breathless, awe-compelling figure.
A breathless moment; then the hor-
rified murmur rose here. there and
everywhere: Hes dead! He's dead!'
when quietly and convincingly blud
masculine voice spoke from the door
way behind them:
you needn't be frightened. In an
hour or a half-hour he will be the
same as ever. My aunt has such at
tacks. They call 1t catalepsy"
Imperceptibly the crowd dwindled;
the most discreet among them quite
content to leave the house; few, and
these the most thoughtful. devoted all
their energies to a serious quest for
the woman and child whom they con-
tinued to believe to be in hiding some
where inside the walls she had so au-
daciously enteredl
The small party decided to start
their search by hasty inspection of
the front hall, when a shout and
scramble in the passages beyond cut
short their intent and held chem pant
| ing and eager, each to his place.
Frightened, they drew their gaze
from the rigid figure III the chair, and,
with bated breaths AID rapidly paling
cheeks, listened to the distant muir
mur on the far-off road.
What was it? They could not guess,
and it was with unbounded relief they
pressed forward to greet the shadowy
form of young girl hurrying toward
them from the rear, with news in her
face. She spoke quickly.
THE woman is gone. Harry Doane
saw her sliding out behind us just
after we came in. She was hiding in
some of the corners here and slipped
out by the kitchen way when we were
not looking. He has gone to see"
Breathlessly Miss Weeks cut the
girls story short; breathlessly she
rushed to the nearest window, and,
helped by willing hands, succeeded in
forcing it up and tearing hole in the
vines, through which they one and
all looked out in eager excitement.
A motley throng of people were
crowding in through the double gate
way. Some one was in their grasp.
1t was Bella! Bella, the giant! Bella,
the terror of the town, no longer a
terror but a struggling, half-fainting
figure, fighting to free himself and get
in advance, despite some awful hurt
which blanched his coal-black features
and made his great limbs falter, while
still keeping his own and making his
way, by sheer force of will, up the
path and the two steps of entrance
his body alternately sinking back or
plunging forward as those in the rear
or those in front got the upper hand.

MOST DIFFICULT HINDU FEAT
Dancing Girl Balances Eggs on
Threads That Are Stretched From
Rim of Wheel.

OF the many wonderful feats per
formed by Hindu jugglers, one of The
most remarkable is the egg dance.
Usually ii is executed by a girl, far
tastically dressed. She makes use OF
a willow wheel. around which at equal
distances are threads, and at the end
OF each thread there is a moose, held
open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries basket Of
eggs on her arm. When the music
strikes up she begins TO dance, and
the wheel begins TO spin around. She
then takes an egg from the basket,
places it in one of the thread nooses.
and throws il from her with sufficient
force to draw the knot tight The
spinning OF the wheel keeps the thread
stretched, with the egg ar the end of
It
She then takes another egg from
the basket, places it in another moose.

Thrills are by no means out OF date

few weeks back the workers in a
sawmill at Whangaparapar were CIV

in a thwarted whale. One of these
monsters of the deep, many Oh whom

very profitable industry, recently

harbors, and finally got inside the
booms where the logs are kept for

sending huge bsuri logs tumbling
about like walking sticks, and then
cleared a passage and made off full
speed ahead for the open sea. Unfor-
tunately for itself, it drove head on
against a pile, and the blow stunned
it so that it was stranded on the
beach.

COOKING TOUGH MEAT
NO BETTER WAY THAN BRAISING
HAS BEEN DEVISED.
Especially Should Fowl That Is Not
as Tender as Could Be Wished Be
Prepared in This Way-Some
Kidney Dishes.

Braising is an excellent way Of cook
Ing rather tough meats, as the long,
slow cooking softens the meat ane yet
all the nourishment is preserved In
the gravy. A fowl that Is tough
should always be cooked in this way.
Take casserole just large enough e
hold the fowl. Cover the bottom with
slices of fat bacon, add thick slices of
onion, carrots and turnips and put in
the fowl. Cover the dish and let II
cook on the top of the stove for Is
minutes. Then add pint Of hot wa
ter. Place in the oven. Let 1t sim
mer an hour or longer. according to
the age and size of the fowl. Two
hours viii be needed for an old bird.
Dish the bird. Put the vegetables
around the dish and pour over 1t q
gravy made from the stock.
Kidneys which may be bought for
one. two or three cents apiece, never
more, even In the city, make cheap
and delicious supper, luncheon or
breakfast dish either grilled or stewed.
To stew the kidneys scald. skin and
cut them in halves, take out the small,
hard piece and rub In seasoned flour.
Heat little dripping in small casse-
role, put in the kidneys and fry them
brown. Take them out and keen warm
on a plate. Chop a small onion, fry
in the casserole until brown, add
little flour and brown. Add a tea
spoonful of sharp sauce and one of to-
mato sauce or catchup. Pour in slowly
as much water as required, stirring
to keep smooth. Return the kidneys
to the pan and simmer for about an
hour. Skim off any scum and flavor
with sherry. Kidneys that are eft
over from a supper dish are very good
hashed and served on toast for break
fast. They should be rewarmed with
brown gravy.
Grilled kidneys may be grilled In
their own fat, or they may be scalded,
skinned and split and brushed with
oil. They should be served ON toast,
either well seasoned or with a devil
sauce.
Veal and ham pie, very popular
and inexpensive English dish, is made
as follows
One pound veal outlet, four ounces
bacon or ham, two hard-boiled eggs,
pastry, seasoned -four and mushrooms.
Make a seasoned -four by mixing
one tablespoonful OF -four, one tea
spoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful
of pepper; add little grated rind of
lemon and pinch of cayenne. Cut
the meat into medium pieces, rub in
the flour and put into a deep pie or
baking dish. Peel the mushrooms and
put them in the dish. Pour in enough
water to three-quarters fill the dish
and cover the top of the dish over
with pie crust. Make hole in the
center of the pastry. Put it into the
oven and bake for an hour.

Engineers have long been trying to
discover an economical way of produc-

the methods now in use there is such
an enormous waste of gas that the
process is too expensive. Harry Bea-

W. Va, has been studying this matter
scientifically and experimentally for
many years, and now he announces
that he has found method whereby
he produces a black Tithout any ash

IN HANDSOME LACQUER
FURNITURE SOMEWHAT ExPEN.
SivE, BUT ALWAYS POPULAR.
Quantity, of Course, Depends on the
length Of Ones Purse-Dining
Room Set That Is Just
Now in Vogue.

You may have a whole room fur
nished in lacquer or you may have
one piece. May / say that the guam
tity you purchase depends upon your
finances as well as your fancy? A
month OF so ago had the privilege
of seeing bedroom done In lacquer
throughout, writes Ethel Davis Seal
In the Washington Star The IL
pieces, including two single beds,
dressing case, chest of drawers, etc..
cost $2,966.50. While not unduly ex-
pensive, 1t still remains a purchase re-
curing some consideration.
The drawing of the chair and the
side table introduces you to very
popular and-for lacquer-popularly
priced dining-room set. The dining
table is about twice the size of the
side table, and the same in design.
1t looks as though two side tables had
been pushed together. making the un-
der stretchers form a circle. The
general underlying character of this
set is Adam-modified. And the price
for the set, including the table, side
table and six chairs, should be about
$500. This furniture comes in black,
or in other colors The green and
gold are particularly stunning.
Speaking of colors, the old English
lacquer was made in black, red, layen-
der, blue, green or buff-all, of course,
with the gilt decorations. Today we
usually see the black or red. If you
have not seen the red lacquer go to
one of the shops and look at it. 1t
is not shocking or scandalous, but
very rich and dull; the old-looking
red smacks of the tango of last sea-
sons riot, but lacks its barbarous
intensity. If such a thing may be
said, the gold tones it down-on the
principle of the peach's bloom.
Is it difficult to find place for lac
quer in the home of today2 / think
not. 1t fits marvelously well into
most rooms. If your home absolutely
refuses setting rich enough for lac
quer, you can still indulge your fancy
by admitting a little Golfer or "a trip
licate wall mirror. Just lately l saw
beautiful one of these in New York,
including sconces, for $3.50. A single
mirror with the side sconces was
$3.50.
In almost any room Of dignity you
may have one or two pieces of lacquer
furniture. A chair, maybe, or a table.
A clock in the hall, a cabinet in the
