Why Thunder RumbIes.

Thunder is the sound made by the
lightning, which in turn, Is momen-
tary electric current through the air.
The air in the path of this current Is
heated very quickly, expands and hits
the surrounding air. This causes a
sound wave to travel outward from all
parts of this path. Sound goes at the
rate of 1000 feet per second in air
being more than this in heated air
The rumble is made by only one flash.
But as this has a path all Of whose
points are not the same distance from
the observer, the sound made at the
more distant points gets in a little
later than that made at those nearby.
All thunder has some rumble, for the
path could not De the same distance
at all points unless it were circular
with the observer in the center Of the
air.

Tatooing Horses Ears.

AS means of identifying horses
and other animals, many breeders tat
too a number on the inside of the ear
of each animal in their studs, flockS OF
herds, this number serving as an in
dex to the record Of it's pedigree. Fig.
ures which are to identify the animal
are put in the slotted jaw of punch
made for the purpose, and after the
jaws of the punch have been closed
down on the ear india ink is rubbed
into the punctures. When the skin
heals over this ink the animal Is
marked for life.
With some kinds of horses, such as
Percherons and Suffolks, which often
are all of one color, without distin-
gushing white marks, some such sys-
TEN of marking is essential to keep ac-
curate records for registration. APP

for another, or ringing" as 1T is
called, and makes it possible to iden-
tify animals with certainty wherever
they are found.-New York Herald

success had been heavily supported by
foot troops different might have been
the issue, for the cuirassiers stayed
long on the crest frantically storming
at the squares which moved them
down by squadrons. AS 1t fell out,
they were almost totally destroyed by
the fire of the stubborn squares, and
by counter attack of massed English
horse.
The order for this charge of the
French horse-at least in the form it
was delivered-was afterward repudi-
ated by Napoleon, who declared that
Ney "acted like a madman," and that
he "threw the cavalry away" Some
where in the course of this action the
reserve cavalry, the Horse Grenadiers
and the lighter lancers, and Hussars
had been brought in. Whether they
charged by direction Of Ney or on the
inspiration of Guyot, their immediate
commander, is not certain. Napoleon
asserted that they had been ordered to
leave him under no circumstances. This
destruction of the whole mounted re-
serve Napoleon told Bourrienne cost
him the day.
In the waning day the intrepid
Ney, gathering the wreck Of
D'Erlon's corps, did carry La Haye
Sainte, on the English left, but it
was too late. The Prussans were
already pushing hard. Napoleon was
forced to play his last card. Cavalry
gone, first line corps shattered, he or
dered up the dauntless Imperial Guard.
The emperor and the guard had turned

seemed almost irresistible. Passing
before him. they hailed him with great
shouts of "Vive rEmpereur," while he,
pointing toward the English line, cried
out: "There is the road to Brussels"
But the guard went to death, and
in the last charge it was ever to make,

Two things, above all others, are re-
CURED FOR the success Of the separate
skirt. When 1t Isl made In plain, famil
lar materials 1t must be rescued from
the commonplace by faultless fit and
workmanship. When made of novelty
weaves the selection of unusual and
appropriate patterns reflects the best
talent or modistes. 1t takes an instinct
for dress or an educated taste to make
the most of the separate skirt.
Beautiful color combinations, In
broad and narrow stripes, and original
methods in making are found in the
new separate skirts for afternoon
wear. Some very handsome plaids are
among them but stripes afford better
opportunities for the designer. fine
example of what may be done with
them appears In the picture above.
Taffeta, in black, old blue and white
stripes, laid in wide plaits makes a
skirt that can afford to dispense with
any cost of trimming 1t hangs from
high waistline where three overlap
ping bias folds make wide girdle ex-
tending to the hip. The same fold Is
laid in the semblance Of pocket at
each side finished with row Of small
black, silk-covered buttons.
There is a wide range of color COM
| binations to choose from In the striped
and plaid silks and satins shown in
the shops and they promise an in
creased vogue for handsome separate
skirts. Blouses to be worn with these
I skirts, are most effective when made
Of the same shade as one Of the colors
/ In the material. For informal dress
such a costume merits consideration

Another convenience for the men in
environments is an inexpensive, small
portfolio, made of linen or khaki. 1t
is about nine inches wide and fifteen
inches long, with pockets on one end
for stationery stamps, cards, and for
three blotters, one above the other,
fastened at the corners, on the other
end. At the center there are two loops,
made of narrow straps Of linen, to
hold the pen and pencil. The blotters
make writing surface, thus serving
double purpose. Even ink can be car
ried now in small sticks to be dis
solved in water when needed. This
portfolio is simple affair, easy to
make and very convenient. A leather
portfolio may be taken as a model.
Made of denim or khaki the soldiers
portfolio weighs next to nothing and
will stand wear.

with pepper and more salt If needed.
Corn and Tomatoes.-Cut the corn
from the cob and stew until nearly
dry, add a third as much stewed to-
matoes as corn, and season, using
teaspoonful Of vinegar, teaspoonful
each of butter and sugar, and salt and

the dry ingredients and beat rapidly
two or three minutes. Flavor as de-
sired. Bake in loaf.
When baking cake, fruit Juice may
be used in place of milk, which will
result in moist, finely favored cake.
Corn for the table, if cooked over
steam is much better favored than
that allowed to cook in water.

fried potatoes, using tablespoonful
to the fat in the pan. 1t adds variety,
and where the flavor is liked makes an
appetizing dish.
PURGE Of Summer Squash.-Slice

rind from a small lemon, a quarter of
a cupful of sugar and four cupfuls of
water, boiling hot; cover the pitcher

tract, two ounces of tartaric acid and
the whites of two eggs. Boil the wa
ter and allow it to get cold then stir

pour in enough of the cream to fill the
glass and drink Immediately.

and pint of water, one and half tea
spoonfuls of vanilla. Boil the cocoa in
q double boiler ten minutes with half
cupful of water; CRATE the chocolate
and mix 1t with one-third of it's meas
ure in sugar; add this to the boiling
cocoa, stirring constantly, then add the
remainder of the sugar and boil for
ten minutes. Remove from the fire,
strain, cool and add the vanilla. This
will keep in the icechest until 1t Is

makes most inviting drink.

French Children Found in Villages

found in the villages of northern
France evacuated by the Germans I'M
der the pressure Of the British and
French offensive, present a picture Of
the savagery of modern warfare as
characteristic as the Somme forest
shattered by months of shell fire. Many
are orphans. Many have been grew
ously wounded. Most of them suffer
from a peculiar species of shell shock
which afflicts them generally with
sort of tremor not unlike st. Vitus'
dance.
They have had life and death hor-
rors human and inhuman revealed to
them in guises so terrible that they
will never be quite normal again. All
are underfed and frail from confine-
ment in cellars. Cut off suddenly from
relatives and friends perhaps two
years ago they have continued to live
within a few hundred yards of the
front lines, listening always to the
thud of shells and the crash of explo-
sives until their idea of heaven is "a
place that is very quiet"
