RUSSIANS SHOWING
MORE RESISTANCE

London. July 25.-Signs OF halt in
the Russian retreat in Eastern Galicia
before the advancing Austro-German
armies are largely wanting, but indica.
lions of stronger resistance in some
sectors are cropping out. The Rus
sian generals undoubtedly are doing
their utmost to bring their men to
realization of the necessity Of implicit
obedience and the present plight OF
certain sections of the Muscovite ar
mics because of laxness in discipline
can hardly help serving as an object
lesson.
The resisting powers Of the Rus
slams are admitted by Berlin to be
strongly in evidence south of the
Brzezany line and 1t is said here that
such fighting capacities as the Rus
slams possess need to be exercised to
the limit.
There has been notable activity Of
late by both the British and French
artillery. The situation on the Aisne
front appears to show that the crown
prince fears a renewal of the French
offensive there. his countless attacks
being considered in many quarters an
attempt to forestall it. On the Brit
ish front the intense aerial and artil.

How to Preserve Meat.

We cut plenty Of meat from both the
sheep, and were busy most of the next
two days caring for our trophies and
drying meat. The sheep and bearskins
had to be scraped, the fat carefully re-
moved, the skins stretched out to dry.
Fortunately, the weather was clear
and the sun hot, so that the drying
was quickly and well done. We cut a
great deal of both sheep and bear meat
into strips and hung it on a rack that
we>-rigged near the fire, where it
would catch the sun and also receive
artificial heat as well. Meat dried in
this way will last indefinitely, and
though the flavor is not much to boast
of, the meat is nourishing and goes
we'll in "mulligans" and similar con-
coctions. For my people at home I
also dried few pounds of both sheep
and bear meat according to Doctor
Hornaday's recipe; that is, I first
rubbed on the raw meat a mixture Of
black pepper, allspice and salt, after
which I dried the strips in the sum-

The Darkest Moment.

Everybody has suffered moments Of
terror, the very thought of which, as
long as he lives, runs cold chills up and
down his spine. You remember when
you fell off the old windmill, and when
the playmate who chopped" the freight
train just behind you was crushed to
death under the wheels, and the time
you drowned and had to be resusci-
tated. All these incidents have tneir
momentary horrors, of course, But our
darkest moment of despair, which real
ly REQUIRED time after time, comes
back to us often, with ali its original
frightfulness. Il is the feeling we had

is CENTER OF HOSPITALITY
Location and Construction of Fire
place Are Matters of Importance
in Building Home.

In the Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
1.-The center of hospitality In the
home is that point about which the
family itself gathers most often. This
point is in most homes the fireplace.
Hence its location and construction are
OF vast Importance in building home.
''The fireplace, if there is only one,
should be in the living room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy it
most. 1t should be located in the cen
ter of wall space, either on one side
or at one end of the room. Select the
space which will permit the greatest
number of people to sit around it.
I'm the construction of the fireplace
you must not forget that it's chief pur-
pose is for fire. The more simple
the lines Of construction, the better
taste is displayed, and the more room
the open fire receives.
There is great variety of materi-
ais suitable for a fireplace, and your
individuality and taste can be we'll ex-
pressed in this important factor of the
home. Brick, tile, wood and many tile
substitutes may be used These offer
great possibilities both for good color
and design, and lend themselves to any
style Of architecture"

SIGNALED BY UNIQUE MEANS
Roman Generals of Ancient Times
Had Remarkable Method of Send
ing Messages to Each Other.

The Roman generals before the fall
Of Carthage in 146 B. G. provided their
signal stations with earthenWare YES
sells, exactly equal in all respects, and
fitted with cocks which allowed the
water to escape at the same rate.
They were carefully tested to make
sure Of this last requirement. .Corks,
Of smaller diameter than the vessel,
were f1oated in them bearing rods
upon which were marked, at dis
lance Of three fingers apart, the sim
plest and most urgent military mes
sageS.
These were used as follows: The
sending station raised a torch; the re-
ceiving station, seeing it, did likewise !;
this was a signal for both stations to
open the cOrks of their water jars.
When the rod at the sending station
had sunk so that the desired message
appeared at the edge of the jar, anoth-
er torch was raised, the receiving sta
ton shut off it's cork and read the mes
sage on it's rod, marked identically
with that at the sending station.
