A GLIMPSE oP WARSAW.
Polish took back their capital and held
it for nearly fifty years. When It fell
into the hands Of the enemy the sec
ond time Sweden was again the victor.
For many years after that Charles IL
remained the ruler, and the city yielded
its profits to Sweden. Again, however,
the Polish threw OF the conqueror's
yoke and became autonomous.
By this time Russia had grown
strong enough to look around for de
sirable lands to conquer. Poland and
Warsaw were nearest and therefore
came under the Russian influence first.
Upon the death Of Alexander III. in
1763 Russia took a hand In Polish pol
itics and succeeded in having Stanis-
laus Poniatowski chosen king. 1t was
not until 1874, however, that the Rus
slams came into actual possession Of
the city. Then 1t was taken by arms
rather than intrigue. After an attack
on Praga, a suburb across the Vistula,
Warsaw surrendered to the Russians.
The Russians had been In control OF
Warsaw only twelve years when, in
1906, Napoleon's army took the city.
By the peace OF Tilsit, a year later, the
city was made independent as the cap
ital OF the duchy Of Warsaw. In 1909
the city was again taken, however, and
this time by the Austrians. Their oc-
cupation lasted only two months, when
the city was again made free and indie
pendent. In 1913 the Russians finally
took the city and held II, together with
the rest OF Poland
Warsaw has been said to be the most
beautiful and interesting city In east
ern Europe. The streets are lined with
picturesque buildings, which express
the Polish love OF splendor. The pub
lie gardens are among the most beau
tiful In the world. The chief pride OF
the residents, however, Is the Lazien-
sh theater, in the Laziensh gardens
Its mural decorations are said to be
among the finest In all Europe.
The modern city has a population OF
about 10000, OF whom $1,000 are Ger
mans and 100000 Jews. II Is a busy
Industrial center and is the junction Of
six important railroad trunk lines,
which connect it with all the impor-
tant cities Of the continent The city
q divided into two parts BY the Wis
tula, Warsaw on one side and Praga
on the other. They are connected BY
the Alexander bridge, built at @ cost
Of more than 100000.
The importance OF Warsaw, both
gtrategicaIly and commercially, cannot
wen be oyerestimated- Through the
vistula as wen as the railroads the
city has access TO an sorts OF com
merce and owes its eminence largely
to this fact The rich wheat belt has
the city for its center, and for this
reason It may be particularly valuable
to Germany II It Is able to hold the

Prepare two oranges. three bananas. two apples. i've slices Of canned pine apple, a pint of boiled chestnUtss a half cupfuI of canned white cherries and a half pint of peanuts. The cutting of the fruit is the critical part of the salad. The oranges should be peeled very close and broken into quite large oval pieces. The bananas should have the fuzz scraped off and cut into ob- long pieces. about two inches in length The apples are shaved in thin slices.
 Mix these three fruits together and sugar them slightly. When ready to serve theasa1ad place them on lettuce leaves NItE0t54s slices of pineapple cut small to ga9njsh the sides
 Into each rwlntte cherry slip a peanut add the boiled ehestnuts, cut in large pieces. pile the mayonnaise dressing on top and place the maraschino cher ry on each plate as decoration.
 The best of olive oil is none too good if you wish delicious salad. Oil can be purchased for 45 to 85 cents a quart according to the market There is no substitute for good oil save cream. and, while you may use that, it never gives the same body or distinctive flavor to the salad as does the oil. If your mayonnaise should happen to separate, as it will if your ingredients are not cold, start another dressing with one orstwo more yoIks, finish it completely, then add the spoiled dressing to the new very slowly and you will find it will all be smooth and correct by this device.

What Mrs. Common Sense Does

54t
 ftRYnJG over spilled milk is lost art
 nowadays, for the sensible woman of today can always find a makeshift to take the place of the object which has been ruined by oarelessness or 1g- noranee. Mrs. Common Sense never despairH over any apparent calamity, but sets about removing it's traces. In the case of the spilled milk mentioned above Mrs Common Sense gets out g soft brush, warm water and household ammonia while the milk is still wet on the gown or carpet where it was up set. She knows that if she let's the milk dry the spot will not be so easily removed on account of the fat in the milk. so she sets to work at once, spong- ing and acrubbing with the warm water and ammonia and rinsing it off and drying with 8 linen cloth last of all.
 Nor does Mrs. Common Sense think of grievfng over an upset inkwe1l. Not at all. She pours skimnai1k on the spot at once, then sponges up the milk and ink together, squeezing all the liquid from the sponge each time If the ink Is not quite gone the first time she poars some more skimxnilk on the spot and repeats the operation. When the ink has disappeared she washes the wet place with a cloth dipped in warm water and ammonia; then she goes over 1t again with a stiff brush wet with the warm water and ammonia following the grain of the carpet. She knows that this treatment will leave the rug brighter than ever.
 Ars. Common Sense knows that in the case of fruit or c1aret stains on her table linen she has only to pour boiling water through the place four or five times, holding the stained part stretch ed over basin.
 AEildew on her linen is apt to dis courage the ordinary housewife, but Mrs. C. Sense draws on her fund of household knowledge and finds an ex- ce1lent remover for ni1dew spots. First she makes paste by rubbing equal quantities of castile soap and starch together and Wetting it with lemon juice. This paste she spreads thickly on both sides or the linen where the mil dew spots are. She keeps the goods in the hot sun, wetting the spots every hour with lemon juice. After four or five hours she takes in the linen and washes away the paste If the wt1dew is not quite gone she repeats the proc ess, but she usually finds that once is enough to remove all signs of mildew.
 Mrs. Common Sense hates ants about her house as much as any housewife can, but they do not worry her the way they do most women. She sets to work wfth@ hot water and borax and scrubs off the shelves and refrigerator or wher- ever they may happen to be. When the shelves and icebox are perfectly dry and she knows that their dryness is very important-she sprinkles quanti- ties of dry borax about them. She is not afraid of this, as it is quite harm less. but she does not like to leave any poisons in the way.

It can be plain boiled and served with or without sauees but always with grated cheese. The sauce can be made from brown gravy, with finely chopped liver, beef or kidneys, tomatoes, chop ped olives and onions or garlic. the amount of each depending upon the family taste.
 In Italy macaroni is served three or four times a week for luncheon as a first course and at least as many times for a second dinner course. Italians of the better class all eat well, but never expensively.
