Uses of Bicarbonate Of Soda.

Bicarbonate of soda should always
be kept in an easily accessible place in
the kitchen. Applied Immediately to a

pain.
A pinch added to any fruits or vege-

and less sugar will be needed. Use a
quarter Of a teaspoonful to two quarts
Of fruit, fresh. or to one pound Of evap-
Grated fruit.
Fill new cooking utensils with cold
water to which one teaspoonful Of
soda has been added and boil it. Then
wash the utensils with good soap and

sometimes the despair Of his students.
One Of the prize students, who was ad-

trying to blunder through a passage of
Aeschylus recently and was making a
bad job of it. It became evident after
the first line that the young man was
in deep water. Beads Of perspiration
dampened his forehead as he tried to
blunder through the passage, wallow-

CUTTING on Noses.

Rameses II. of Egypt cut off the nose
Of any person convicted Of treason or
arson. Actisanes, another Egyptian
ruler, punished robbers in the same
way. After each nose had been ampu-
tated back even with the bridge the
culprit was sent to colony Of noseless
felons, .the place Of Punishment being
known as Rhinoconum, from the ma
ture Of the punishment its colonists
had undergone.
In England in 1911 Lord Coventry,
then great keeper Of the British SEAL"
had his nose cut off by order Of the
king because he had dared to ask some
questions about an actress then play
ing at Drury. Lane theater.

that he had been enrolled in the army
Of Frederick the Great in a fraudulent
manner had his nose amputated by Or

painter, armed with full length por-
trait study taken off the stretcher and
rolled under his arm, ventured to call
on Whistler one Sunday morning. His
modest knock brought the great man
to the door. Opening it little way, he
thrust out his head and demanded ir-

What brings you here? What do
you want?"
The artist stammered out that he
was student and had study that he
would much like to show Whistler.
Whistler said, "M-m-m-just wait a
minute" and, rushing back into the
room. he turned every picture with
It's face to the wall and removed from
