HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Many people who never dreamed of such a thing will have the care of a heater thrust upon them this win ter, and while building a fire looks easy enough, there are a few things worth knowing that makes all the diff ference in the world in making the job easy.
 First of all, close all dampers. Shake the grate to remove ashes, dust or remove clinkers from the fire pot. Then remove the ashes and you are ready to begin the real work of building a fire. Put in som rumpled newspaper with au occasion- al twist in it. Cover with kindlings, laid criss-cross or loosely, so as to allow air space. Use fire kinGlings at the bottom with sticks of soft wood on top. if necessary. Add a thin layer of coal or if it is a wood fire, add a layer of hard wood instead Open the ashpit and smokepipe dampers. Then light the paper.
 When the fuel is burning freely, fill the frepot, close the damper in the ash pit and adjust that in the smoke pipe, closing it entirely or only par tially, according to the kind of heat CT You'll be surprised at the ease with which you can produce a splen- cid fire. Try it.

SIR JOHN MANDEVILLE.

In the death we commemorate to- day of Sir John Vaudeville, father of English travellers, who died in 1872 two startling phases, or colors, of the great. white diamond Truth leap up CD Every step that every man in life takes has it's influence forever upon subsequent being, those who come af- ter him. @ The East, which Man deville so painstaking1y explored is again today an absorbing question: Who dare prophecy the outcome of the Eastern Question, India Egypt, Japan, China.
 If Sir John Vaudeville with the courage of lion had not girt up his Joins and gone to the East, we might never have had the long array Of H. lustrious names that have written records from the Catracts of the Nile, from the warm, lush lands of the Ni- ger to the ice-peaks of the Hima- layas.
 John Vaudeville was born at St. AL bans, in Hertfordshire, about 1900. Restless amidst his severe studies in mathematics, theology and medicine he abandoned them all to journey to- wards the mysterious East forever a lure, an unexplained riddle. The fe- yer of the Crusades had spread through Europe a burning interest in the Holy Land. But Vaudeville was determined to push on further than Syria, and to go over the countries that the famous Venetian, Marco Polo, had traversed in the previous century. Many of the wonders de- scribed in Sinbad the Sailor of the Arabian Nights were verified by Sir John. In 1922 he left England, going first to Egypt. In Egypt he imme- diately entered the service of the Sul- tan, and fought for him against the Bedouin Arabs. The Nam eluks ruled in Cairo. Sultan Nasir offered to Sir John his daughter in marriage, but, comedy as the girl was, Sir John said quaintly, ''WoI5e I have forsaken my law and my be'eve!'
 From Egypt Fe went to the Holy Land; thence penetrating into the do minions of the great Khan of Tar

He protested that he did not want to be king and de- clared he would not sacrifice his hap piness for the throne.
