He felt some resistance, struck, and
found his hook fast in a grass snake
about a yard long. He notes that
he brought it TO the bank with very
little resistance on the part of the sur
prised reptile.
This case reminds me of an incl
dent which happened some years ago in
America. | was fishing from a boat
for bass in a Florida lake, and on
the bank, quite near at hand, a negro
was angling with live bait. Suddenly
the man let out a startling yell, and
looking around | saw hat he had lift

a good-sized eel.
But it was No eel; it was a cot

" venomous water snake. The mocas-
sin lives on fish and frogs and had
swallowed the bait well down.

of another lake when I heard screams

T. N. T. AS An
Industrial Explosive

With the cessation Of hostilities
the Government found Itself in pos
session of a large supply of the high
explosive known as ct. N t." which
has been deemed unsafe for storage
against a possible future emergency
With the object of making possible
the use of this surplus explosive fof
industrial purposes the United States
Department of Agriculture reports
results of Investigations made by the
Bureau of Mines and the College OF
Agriculture of Wisconsin.
Briefly stated, these Investigations
show:
That T, n. T. can be safely cart
lidged and handled for land clearing,
and that its desirability will depend
on the cost of the user.
Complete defamation was best Sc
cured by use OF No. s exploder, No. 6
being the size usually recommended
for dynamite applied to like condi-
tions.
Moisture encountered in ordinary
land-clearing operations does not af-
feet this explosive; neither do ordi-
nary variations of temperature.
That the health of the workers is
not affected by the explosive gases
when the work is not confined to &
limited space.
That the amount of L N. T. re,
quired is about rs per cent of the
amount of 800 per cent ammonia dyna-
mite"
On account of the smaller quaint
ties, definite regulations of charges
should be made. There may be con
siderable danger if the proper charges
are much increased.
1t seems likely that the surplus OF
high explosive manufactured to fill
bombs and shells for the army in
France may be put to valuable
peace-time use 1t is not contem-
plated that T. N. T. will be manufac
tured expressly for industrial use and
the recommendations cover only the
unused explosive left from the mill
tary supplies during the recent war.

SILK WEARING QUALITIES
ARE INVESTIGATED

Washinton.- The Department OF
Justice is cooperating with the
American Home Economics Associa
ton in delving into the reasons for
the short wearing qualities of silks
that are now being manufactured.

ment is asking American women to
send pieces of their own coat Innings

Standardize Cloth
Stress is being laid by the depart
ment on attempts to standardize cloth
rather than to limit styles for reduc-
ing the prices of clothing. A uni
form would not be feasible to advo-
cate as it is not expected that women
would take to it readily. But if the
number of weaves is reduced produc-
ton of yardage will increase. 1t is
argued, and this will tend to lower
prices of cloth, and ready made
clothes.
Miss Strauss endorses a bill intro
duced by Representative Rainey re-
Gently requiring that the percentage
of materials be stamped on outside of
all woven fabrics shipped N interstate
commerce, in order to decrease the
amount of low-grade fabrics offered to
the trade at high prices.

Earl Curzon, and of lovely Mary

Cynthia is a delightful girl with all hel

the maternal splendid beauty. Ever
since she made her debut in society
she has been considered as one of the
most fascinating heiresses that had
ever made their bow to the world.
Many good wishes will accompany
her in her new home, and she is GER

great hostesses of London, that town
where unfortunately so many of the
famous salons of yore have closed
their doors, thanks to the war, mourn

new elements are eagerly looked for

err was one of the victims of the fire
of the Bazaar de la Charlie, where so
many prominent members of French
society persisted, and ever since that
time she had been more or less an
object of interest to the numerous
friends of her family. Her grand
father was Monsieur Ioskier, the
great Partisan banker, of Danish
origin, whom the late King Cristian,
of Denmark, had always considered
one of the most intimate friends, and
who was supposed to have played a
leading part in the many negotiations
and intrigues that had brought about
the Franco-Russian alliance, of which
he had been one of the most ardent
promoters.
A friend writes to me that Madame
Clemenceau Jacquemaire since her
return from the United States has
expressed herself as highly delighted
with the reception which she was
awarded in America, and that she
means to write book about her i'm
pressions of it, and of the American
people. She is extremely clever with
her pen, having inherited her fathers
talents in that direction.

Making Milk from
Beans

The Chinese have, for some time
past, been manufacturing a very salts
factory milk from small yellow beans.
These curd beans are first thoroughly
soaked, after which they pass through
crushing rollers or stones. The pulp
is then transferred to tubs and strained
through cheese-cloth diluted with
water, and afterwards boiled, when it
is strained again and ready for use.
In Japan, manufactured milk is being
made from the ''soja" bean. Here the
beans are first soaked, and then boiled
in water until a white liquid is OBJ
tanned To this is added sugar and
phosphate of potash. After another
boiling it assumes the consistency of
molasses. The manufacture of syn
thetic milk from peanuts has been
several times experimental with in
various European countries. The nuts
are shelled and crushed, mixed with
distilled water until a gruel-like mass
is obtained, and then starch meal is
added The whole is then subjected
to a boiling process and filtered. Two
hours or so later it is transformed
into a kind of milk. In Sweden eX
perts have succeeded in perfecting a
process whereby milk can be changed
into fine flour. At will this flour can
be again transformed into true milk
by adding sufficient water, and it is
claimed that the milk does not lose
any of its alimentary qualities through
the changing processes. In some parts
of Serbia, too, milk is 3Glidified and
sold in cakes and bricks, which, while
Offering better facilities in handling,
also insures the milk being kept in
good condition.

Most housewives will be surprised
to learn that dried eggs are very salts
factory in making omelettes and
scrambled eggs. To make an omelet,
dissolve a rounded tablespoonful Of
dried egg in 8 tablespoonfuls of water,
allowing these proportions for each
person to be served Soak the egg
until the consistency of fresh eggs,
then beat I'D and cook like the ordl-
nary omelette. The richness and
palatability of the dish is increased
if milk is used instead of water for
the preliminary soaking.
Dried eggs are used with equal sue
cess in both soft and finn custards.
In appearance and consistency the re-
suit is the same as when fresh eggs
are used. There is distinct differ
ence in flavor, but it is in favor OF
the dried eggs so that many persons
preferred the dried egg custard to the
fresh egg variety.
Dried Egg Custard
rounded tablespoons dried egg
IL tablespoons water or milk
8 cups scalded milk
IL cup cugar
Ia teaspoon salt
Dissolve the egg powder in water
or milk for 80 minutes, beat slightly
with a fork and add sugar and salt.

her mother. 81 wanted to buy hair
ribbons with this dollar for present.
You have plenty of hair ribbons
now, Betty and to buy more than you
need is always wasteful. But it is par
ticularly wasteful now, because prices
are so high that every good citizen
should make all possible efforts to go
without everything but the abso-
Iutely necessary things.
THE less buying we do the sooner
prices will come down to what they
should be.v Besides that, Uncle Sam

the treasury, addressing the budget
committee of the national assembly
recently. Despair over the critical
period and means of meeting it was
indicated by the minister during his
speech. His view of the position Of
Germany was supported by Gustav
Noske, former minister of defense.
"If we cannot bring our financial

the deficit would not exceed 1000, 000,-
600 marks, but it will not be less than

Herr Noske emphasized the urgency
of making the country know the facts,
adding:

Liberal use of green stuff, such as
lettuce, celery, onions, cabbage and
of the fresh fruits available, is the
best single preventative of that tired
out feeling that we all call Spring
fever" Some fresh fruits and vege-
tables sould have a place in the meal
plans of every day. The winter diet
has meant curtailed use of dairy pro-
ducts and eggs, and of bulky fruits
and vegetables. Adequate use of
these foods keeps the blood as it
ought to be and the whole body in
good condition. Take your spring
tonic through your diet.
