Wolf von Schicrbrand tells an
amusing story of his last weeks in
Berlin. He was for a long time
chief eorresponjent of the Associ

to Jeave the country far having
given too intimate information

ambassador recand a respite of two
weeks for him, daring which he
eoald wind cp his affairs, bat he
wis a marked nun, and the police
shaSowed him night and day. At
last he hit upon the expedient of
placing a staffed dsaamy of him
asif on the front porch, with its
back toward the street, and while
the police scalously watched the
dummy he was daily slipping out by i
a aide door and going unmolested i
about his business disguised in a
pair of blue goggles and an old
aloach hat Ilia maniMa sat in
the chair, with occasions! interrup

till 10 o'clock at night and was
palled inside by a string at bed
time. Ok the morning of Mr.
Bchierhrand's departure for th»
United States it waa turned with
its wooden face toward the street, 1

solved soap is a necessity and is
made by finelv shredding a quarter

blued water, fold in a clean cloth,
pass through the wringer and iron

water gives a desirable gloss. A des
sertspoonful to a pint of water is
ample. For colored tilk do not

throngh blued water. If you fear
' the color will run, steep it in salt

Uaas Far Old Blankets.
Half worn woolen or flannelette
bed blankets with stripes at the
ends may be dyed a dark, rich shade
of old Mid, wine, olive green or
electric blue and made to do service
a long time as portieres. Peanuts
that have not been roasted may be
dyed a lighter shsdc and sewed upon
the ends of the blankets for fringe.
If one desires deep fringe, ran a 1#
thread through two peanola (one
above the other lengthwise) and
sew to the blanket. These are real
ly very artistic.
! Bed blankets of light weight also
make good nightrobca. Two pairs
will make three robes. Two under
shirts may be made from one blan
ket if a yoke of other material is
used, tad this is advisable to pre
vent too much fallness over the
hips. Often blankets thst are wash
ed frequently shrink and become
too narrow lor a wide bed or any
bed which is occupied by two per
sons. In a house where there srs
no half or three-qaarter width bed
steads the shrunken blanketa may
be nicely utilized for gowns or petti
coats.
Useful Utanalla.
Toward aiding the housewife the
inventors have recently avtmcd to
have turned their energies. Any
number of new little devices bare
appeared in the shops which are to
be used to lighten the labors in the
kitchen and in doing the housework.
For baking there la an ingenious
pan for preventing cakes and deli*
cate angary concoctions from burn
ing;-also a perfect steam cooker in
which the Tjousewife can nut on
hsans, stews or viands that demand
long cooking and ton to other
tasks, assured that the pot will not
boil over, stop boiling or boil too
fast, as ia the caao with ordinary
boiling kettles.
' When the breadmaking day comas
around, there is an automatic bread
kneader and doagfa mixing device
and also a handy contrivance for
beating up the raw material of cakes
and pudding • -•

kidney into tiny dice. Pat a des

It must not be allowed to scorch.
Put in the minced kidney and a half

add just enough water to keep it

A Silent BcIL
More than a century ago the fear
of being buried alive led to the es
tablishment in German cities of
mortuary chambers in which a bell
rope is placed in the hands of each

fessor Brouardel declares that there
is no caso on record of that bell
having ever been rung anywhere.

did it turn out?*' Being told that
the tight if as a financial failure, he
advised the youthful pugilist to re
main at home in the future. "He
member, me lad," he said, "there's
an old proverb and a true one, *A
rolling stone gathers no nn**.'"
Six months later Corbett boxed (vil
lain in X«| Orleans, and when he
came home his father again ap
proached liim. This time he replied
that he had made a lot of money
and paid him SSO he had borrowed
on a pluvious occasion. "Well, me
boy," said Pop Corbett, "remember
there's an old proverb and a true
one, 'lt's the roving bee that gi-ts
the honey.'"
