SunfIower Secrets.

Varying from gold to pale yellow, the
handsome sunfower stands merely for
decorative purposes in our British
homes, says London Answers.
But other countries-Germany,
America and Russia among them
realize its economic value, and culti-
vate the flower for it's many other vir-
tues.
Excellent oil can be extracted from
sunfower seeds, and Germany, who has
none too much of the former just now,
has planted sunflOwers along her road
sides for sthe sole purpose of obtaining
the oil, the quality of which is hardly
inferior to that of the famous olive it.
self.
Again, sunaOwer seed makes an ex-
cellent bread; both seeds and leaves
are given to stock, while the stalks can
be used for fuel.
Bracken-a fern which overruns al
most every portion Of our isles-is an
other hardy plant that can be turned
to good account. Scotch people use it
in place of straw, and sometimes for
manure. An Old-time soap recipe in
cluded it among it's ingredients, for
bracken ashes contain large percent
age of alkali.
Old country folk burn bracken, and
roll the ashes, sprinkled with water,
into balls. The 'lye" obtained serves
the purpose Of soap quite well.

STYLES FOR WINTER

Winter modes are well established.
we shall see devlatiOns and adapta-
tlons of them, but little now til the
buyers have made their midwlnter vOy-
age to Pnris for spring styles.
There are so many new ideas In the
present modes that women will not
tire of them soon. Indeed, II has been
constant struggle, to judge from
looking on, TO get used 10 the present
long and slender contours decreed by
Paris dressmakers and milliners.
have heard women speak with Bit
terness OF the expensiveness OF winter
shoes, "and they do not show half as
much this winter" and complain that
the top coat was not half so practical
and smart as the tailored trOtteur. But
when Il comes 10 evening gowns with
out exception every woman just gasps
and says, my dear, they are perfectly
lovelyw There seems 10 be no objec-
ton to the trains, because they're
not the kind that are In the way" and
the ankles manage to be In evidence
because OF the unevenness Of the hem.
One sees less Of the fox animal
scarf this winter; the prediction for
fur sets is obvious.
Sets Of fur combined with some
fabric have always been the vogue Of
"elegantes' In Paris. Now the idea is
being taken up here. The result Is
great individuality, for the scarfs or
capes must harmOnize with the dress
with which they are worn. Most Of
them are Of the shoulder-cape variety;
this is good in that being worn with
out any other outside garment they are
plenty warm enough, except for the
shivery sort of person and in very cold
weather.
Another pecullarity in winter modes
is the reappearance of the long fur
cape. II may or may not have slit
for the hand. Often these capes are
shaped so they extend out of the sides
enough to form something that re-
sembles sleeve-enough to partly
cover the arm.
In che long fur coats and wraps the
collar is almost invariably made of n
contrasting fur. The trimming hem

excellent effect.
First make bag for the cushion I'm
calico the size you wish it to be, then
fill with vegetable down, real down or
feathers. The linen for the case
should be embroidered before it is
made up; when made, put it over the
cushion, sew up the end and edge all
round with cord, and either put a tas-
sci at each corner or else arrange the
cord in loops.
Though so very simple, the cushion
is in exquisite taste, yet is not too fine
to use for the wear and tear of every
day life.

WAR WRECKS ARE MADE OVER
Remarkable Operations Being Per-
formed on Wounded Soldiers of
European BattIefields.

Operations by which important and
even vital parts of the human body,
shattered or completely shot away,
have been rebuilt or replaced are now
among the commonplace events of the
military hospitals of Europe. In the
hospitals in England the science of sur
gerry has reached heights heretofore
undreamed of, thanks largely to the
efficient direction of Sir Alfred Keogh,
director general of the British army
medical service. From the beginning
Of the war Sir Alfred has impressed
upon his subordinates the necessity Of
the saving of the limbs of wounded sol
diers when it is at all possible, in order
that the patients may I Nain useful
members of the communir =, I'd not be-
come public charges. Ci
Amputations are now : Sded in
thousands of cases where years
ago they would have been c, Tidered
absolutely necessary. Marvels have
also been accomplished in the new
nerve surgery, which has been devel-
Oped as a result of the vast multitude
of cases in which the nerves have been
severed.
Sir Alfred Keogh, the director of the
army medical service of Great Britain,
is in his sixtieth year, and is the son
of a ROscommon barrister. He gained
his first experience in wartime surgery
during the South African conflict, when
he was in charge of a general hospital.
His work was so efficient that he was
awarded several medals, and in 1904
became director general of the service.
He retired in 1909, but returned to the
head of the medical service when he
war broke out. Sir Alfred has been the
recipient of many hOnOrs from medical
and scientific organizations.

Checks AGAINST Future.

We repeat-when you're tired, quit.
That doesn't mean, necessarily, quit
work. 1t means quit spending so much
time in other ways that you don't get
enough sleep to furnish you with the
proper working energy. You can, of
course, keep going on black coffee and
your novels. But, whenever you are
spending more energy than you are
getting, you're issuing checks against
the banks balance of future health.
And as these checks are cashed the
balance dwindles. One might" to-
night must be repaired later in life
with compound interest. - Fresno

Curious American Custom.

do not know that Viscount KanekO
can be reckoned among the great men
of Japan, but he is certainly one of her
most interesting sons. He has been
prominent among governmental and
legislative circles, but he is unpopular
in some quarters because of his pro-
Americanism. No one in Japan un-
dsrstands Amreica and Americans bet
ter, says the Christian Herald, and, as
he says, he has given II years of his
life TO explaining American ways to
the japanese.

Known miles on either side. A second
vOlley, and not man remained to res
cue or to fly.
The child was still uninjured. The
bullets had passed over her head, and
none had struck her. Beth Sides, each
distrusting the other, waited till night
fall. All through the afternoon, at in
tervals, the baby could be seen, when
the fog lifted. Each side formed a vol
unteer party of half dozen to make
the rescue after night had fallen.
The two parties started simutane-
Ously, crawling through their barbed
wire and working their way across No
Mans Land. They met in the middle.
There was no chance for explanations.
The rifles spoke, the bayOnets did their
quick work. Star shells, shot up, re-
Nealed the twelve in deadly grapple.
BuOyed up by the sense of their mis-
sion, neither side would yield. They
fought each other to death there, in
that desOlate waste of water-filled
craters. Not one man returned.
On either side the soldiers waited in
increasing apprehension until morning
showed the heap of bodies around the
crater. Within it the child could still
be seen. She had fallen forward on
her face. She might be dead, but there
was still the wild hope that she was
living. Perhaps she slept. And the
soldiers, many of whom were married
men, were filled with anguish and the
resolution to save her, or to bring back
the little body for burial.
1t was evident that another day could
not be allowed to pass without the res
cue. Projects were mooted. 1t was
suggested that the artillery should be
brought to bear upon the enemy
trenches, with a view to a general ad-
vance into them. But this was deemed
too dangerous an undertaking. 1t was
not humanity possible that general
advance could be made without stray
bullet striking the little form within
the crater. 1t was an Irishman who
solved the problem.
"Sure, who wants to hurt a baby?"
le asked. Lets ask them to send out
six men to meet ours, and Wen save
her"
The idea found general acceptance.
Notice boards were quickly written in
three languages.
"Don't fire. We are going to pick up |
the kid" ran the English one. And
the French ran simllarly-it was at the
junction of the two armies. On the
opposite side Of No Mans Land the
Germans had put up a notice to the
same effect in their own language. |
They quickly exchanged it for an
other. "When?" they asked.
"At twelve o'clock" answered the
English.
1t meant an hour to wait. All the
eyes were strained upon the baby. She
had not moved since the morning.
There was every fear that she was
dead. And half an hour before the
time set the artillery behind the Brit
fish lines began to rumble. Showers OF
shells .hrolse upon the opposite

EASILY MADE TRAVELLING BAG
An EIeven-Inoh Square of Pink Linen
and Some Tape All That Is
Needed.

A very pretty and quickly made
travelling bag can be made with an
11-inch square of pink linen. Bind the
entire square with white tape, then
fold one side of the linen to One-third
the depth. Featherstitch into five pock-
cts, three narrow ones and two wide
ones, placing a narrow one in the cen
ter at each end, with the wide ones
between. The edges where the square
is folded are Overhanded together. The
small pockets are for tOothpaste tooth
brush and cold cream, the larger ones
for talcum powder and powder puff. If
the toothbrush is enclosed in a glass
case, the pocket need not be rubber
lined. Fasten a piece of tape in the
center of ths side opposite the pockets.
This is folded over and the tape tied
around the case.

DAYLIGHT Law Cuts eashlIIs.

The manager of the Glasgow gas
works in Scotland has issued state
ment showing the effect of the new
daylight bill upon the gas consumption
of that city. Last year the consump-
ton of gas from six o'clock until mid
night for three weeks amounted to
124,6S0000 cubic feet 1t was 1O4,-
$4,000 this year for the same period
a saving of 2O,000000 cubic feet. This
means an average saving of nearly
million feet each evening. There is an
increase of over 12,000,000 cubic feet
during the remaining is hours of the
day, due to the great demand for gas
for industrial purposes-chieily from
the government-to meet the demands
Of war.

EnaIand, Ireland and the Pope.

In the twelfth century Pope Adrian
w, the only Englishman that ever oc-
cupied the papal chair, granted the
hereditary lordship of Ireland to
Henry II Of England. In 1172 Henry
II visited Ireland in person, and the
clergy and great princes acknowledged
his supremacy and he was recognized
Lord of Ireland" In lit John, the
youngest son Of Henry II, was granted
this lOrdship, but his authority was
only nominal, and he left the govern
ment to John d'COurce, a member Of
celebrated Norman family Of Ok
fOrdshire and SOmersetshire, and
whose parentage was entirely un-
known. In 1910 John visited Ireland,
but in 1913 resigned the kingdom to
the Pope, and for a second time the
papal claim to Ireland was formally
recorded.
