IN CANADIAN WMDg.

From the stories which have come from Canada concerning the naval bal loonists it becomes evident that they nave gone through much greater hard ships than were anticipated since it vas disclosed where they were That they are alive to tell their experiences is prob- ably due to the barking of a dog. Their troubles commenced in the air but they were not immediately relieved after making their landing for being diyested oi instruments they were handicapped as 10 thelF' location and being without fire arms they were unable to live off of the country while their food and clethins supply was not what the conditions they encountered called for.
 Pushing through Canadian forest in the search for food and shelter weu,d nave been serious enough had all three been able to stand ths conditions with out weakening, but the hardships of the struggle are emphasized by the physi. cal conditions which had to be sur mounted. The story has all the thrill that goes with northern explerations with the added fact that they were lost and without means of locating help ex- cept luck and the dog.
 They haVe gone through experiences much worse than was anticipated when searching parties were being organized to scout the Adirondacks for them and IL Is gratifying that they are able to make sheir way out Of the wilds. That one or more of them should be quoted as saying that they want nothing more Of that kind af ballooning can be read. fly appreciated. As the matter stands il does not appear that anything has been gained by this halleo1ings experience which wasn't previously known. It is true that the men have gone through hardships and made sacrifices but Hoth. ing seer7s to have been gained by it ex. cept possibly an awakening to the fac. that such trips ought net to have been authorized or undertaken under the con. eitiens this one was at this season of the year. The aerenauts have made a won. derful fight and they will be warmly vel. comed back.

 The only difficulty with shampoeing the hair at home is the matter of rins- ing. Very few people manage to eat all the soap from the hair; in fact there are many professionals who are either teo careless or toe uHskillful to de this. If, after you have shampeeed your hair, you find it sticky. or if you see little gray film along, the edge of your brush, you will kHsw that all the saaR has not been rinsed out and that you are clegsing the pores of the hair. and really doing a great deal of harm By letting it stay in.

CONGRESSIONAL REpREsENrAr1ox

Il 1N
 Following every census there. arises the question of increasing the number Of representatives in congress by a re- Vlsed apportienntent and from the report that has been submitted it is planned by the committee to add 4S more in the house, making the membershjp 493 in. stead of 435. That this increase woufd give the people any better representation or would accomplish any better results can hsrdly be anticipated. It simply means making bigger one branch of the national legislature which is already un- wieldy enough, and this is fully recog- nized by the fact that there has been offered an amendment which will limit the number of members in the house in the future to 500.
 1T apportioned among the states the 4s new members would mean one for each state, but they will not be distrib- uted that way It Will mean one repre- sentative for every 21s,s7s people, which will leave some states as they are with one or more while New York will gain four, Michigan four, California five Pennsylvania four, Ohio four and Con necticut one. The southern states will get an increase of 13. It is we'll that the plan suggested does not contemplate the reduction in any state, although un. der previous arrangements there have been both reduetiois and additions Il means, however, that the increases will come from the centers of nopulation with those having large representation getting an increasa

DISINFEcTANr

Few housewives know the value of tuf- pentine. It has strong antiseptic prop critics, and its frequent use helps to keep disease away from the house. Never let it become stale, that is thick and yellow looking. 1t should be thin and clear.
 Ants flies and even mice hate the eder of turpentine so much that they will not stay where it is. When shelves in closets and waFdrebes have been cleaned. wipe them eff with little turpentine and put it in the cracks and corners with a medicine dFsPReF.
 Even in hexes and closets where Heel- en clothing is stored. if you will put some tuFeentine en bletting paper and put aneRg the clothes the moth will give this place a wide berth.

SOFT RouEn EGGS

The proper way to cook q soft boiled egg is to place the egg in q saucepan of cold water and bring it to the boiling point. Then remove from the flame and let the egg remain in the water in warm place for two minutes. A perfectly aoft, tender firm egg will be there suit, much more delicate by far. If 8 harder egg is preferred, merely let the egg remain in the water few minutes leHger.
 The secret of properly cooked soft eggs is never to le tthe eggs boil. Bring te the boiling point, then remove. Of course, if hard boiled egg is desired, boil for 20 minutes.

 Blonde Is color that is meeting witl, favor. It is hard to describe, but if you think that it is the color of blonde hair you are quite off the track, It is, on the contrary, sort of drab dull shade of tan. In net or chiffon it suggests a spl- der web or cobweb as much as anything gray, in way, but brovner than the usual gray.

PEARLS.

Pearls should receive the greatest care for they may be calcined if exposed te heat and are badly affected by fetid gases.
 Few seem to know that the more con- stantly a necklace of pearls Is worn the better will be the condition of the gems for there is something about the warmth of the human body that tends to help them retain their luster and fine color.
 Pearls that have lost color can be re- stored, but the process is not one that can be constantly repeated without detFi- ment to the jewels.

A beefsteak broiled over the live coals of dying wood fire is considered de- licious treat for the family table.
