THE CUNARD

STEAMER

TxtaT

WILL BEAT THE GERMAN

LINERS.

In the presence of thousands of spectators, the biggest ship ever built on the Tyne, the Cunard liner Mauretama, has just been successfully launched by the DowagerDuchess of,Roxburghe. Lord Tweedmouth, First Lord of the Admiralty, said that the IMauretama was _a leviathan beside the Dreadnought It is believed that the new liner. which 13 fitted with turbine engines, will attain a sp^id of twenty-six and a half knots

and will easily maintain Biitish superiority in the trans-Atlantic race. On the left, the huge stern of the Mauretania, showing her giant propellers. The top right-hand picture shows the Mauretania afloat; below is seen the rudder. The huge size of tho vessel can be appreciated by a comparison with the people alongside.(Photographs hy a PazlyMirrar st^ photographer.) ^ >^ ^

The terrible disaster on the Great Northern Railway remains unexplained and apparently inexplicable. The mystery of the wild, fatal rush of the Scotch express past the platforms of Grantham to destruction on the curve beyond Harlaxton-road bridge seems up to the present to be impenetrableExpert examination of the wreckage had up to yesterday eveiiing disclosed nothing t h a t ' would assist in forming a judgment as to the Actual cause (if the disaster.

CHINA MAKES

Company Secretary's Curious Reason for Maidstone "Kidnapping" Case Has Purple: Bowles Hat Completes an Astonishing Reticence to the Fress. Fashionable Outfit. a Strange Sequel, Government Wakes Up to Evils of Ajiovel reason for excluding the Press from a The latest fad''in.fashions for men is to have the the Deadly Drug, headwear dyed to- match the clothes. company meeting was yesterday advanced by the

INDIA'S GllEAT LOSS.

China has at last decided to abolish thg~use of opium. Even the careless mind of the Oriental has wakened to the terrible evils of opium-smoking. Yesterday Reuter's Pekin. correspondent teleeraphed; As tlic result of the recommendations of tie returned Commissioners, after consultation with YuanShi-Kai B'-Jy-^ng-Shao-Vi, an edict has been issued orderit;^. ^^-^bolilion of the use of opiiun, both foreig,Ki(f^ native, within ten years. The"e<iict strongly condemns the opium vice, aad orders the Council of State to devise reEU'ations for the enforcement of the prohibitions of smoking and of the cultivation of the poppy, At the office of the Society for the Suppression of the Opium Traffic, the Daily Mirror was informed that beyond Reuter's message no information, had come to hand. Curiously, only last Wednesday the society received from the Bishop' of Hong Kong, who unfortunately perished in the terrible typhoon, an article for publication in the society's magazine. The article must have been dispatched about five weeks, ago-. Japan's Horror. Official confirmation is still wanting. If it be Tnie, it is another instance of China's desire to follow Japan's lead. Japan prohibited opium, except as a medicine, jnany yeajs ago. According to a Uiiited States Consul : The Japanese, to a man, fear opium as we fear ihc cobra or the rattlesnake, and they despise its victims. China's cursfr has been Japan's warning. An opium user in Japan would be socially as a leper. A Japanese may get drunk every night in the weeic oa sake, without losing caste, but woe betide hira if he resorts to the seductions of opium. The prohibition ^ i l l hit India's revenue very bard. The cultivation of the poppy, and the preparation and sale of opium are a Government monopoly in India. In India, however, the use of the drug is hemmed in by strict regulations. But as regards the opium sold for export to China no such reguJations exist. India's revenue from the opium trafHc last year amounted to ^3,833,000, but ten years ago the average was ^25,000,000. Austra'fia prohibited the importation of opium, except for medical use, from the beginning of the present year. Opium is also prohibited for the use of the Chinese coolies in the Transvaah The deadly fascination of opium is eloquently described by D e Quincey in the " Confessions of an English Opium-Eater." But, on the other hand, it has enormous value as a drug, and doctors could not now very well get on without.it,

'secretary to Messrs. E . Galiorrot, tobacco planters and cigar meTchamts. The profit figures, if published, would, he said, be read to the planters,, who would immediately ask for an increase of salary, striking forthwith if . their demands were not immediately complied with. . " T h e men on our plantations," h e explained,, " are an extraordinary class. They* are a mixture of Mexican and Spaniard, and their trade unionism is magnificent. " When oui*'figures were published a year or two ago they inimediately went on strike for. a higher wage, and lost us several thousand pounds. They believe that all capitalists are villains,, and should be massacred. They do not appreciate the fact that shareholders expect dividends.. " When we tried to, stop the common practice_ of , stealing handfuls of cigars and of going out dunng; business hours to lounge and smoke in the sun, they all struck. They said we were interfering: with their liberty. " T h e Press were not excluded from the meeting because we are not doing well. I n point of fact, we are doing welh Our auditors are Price,, Waterhouse, and Company, and they have given us an unqualified certificate." It should be mentioned- that the profits ofr t h e company" during the past year amounted to over ^2,000.

FATHER'S MISTAKE.-

T h e amusing sequel to the Maidstone kidnapping case has reversed an ancient proverb. I t seems,. ndw, that it is a, wise father that knows his ownchild, As- reported in yesterda.y'3 Daily Mirror, a Maidstone painter named Stone announced last Saturday night that his six-year-old sOn Sidney was missing. H e sent the little fellow oat o n an errand, and as a precaution fastened an Irish terrier, b y aleather strap, to the hoy's arm. The boy did not return, h u t on the Sunday morning the dog came back with the strap cut, " H o p p e r s ! " immediately sprang to the distracted father's mind. H e was convinced that hia Uttle son had been kidnapped' by those who go down from Whitechai^el to pick hopSj and gave out the newsH e acted promptly, and went up to London to find his boy in the slums of the East,'End. Scotland Yard-aided him in the search, and little Sidney,, dressed as a girl, was at last found in t h e streets by a policeman. T h e delighted father at oncq hurried, back to Maidstone, taking his boy with him-.

Should you wear a heather-mixture tweed, then you must have a heather-mixture bowler. Messrs. Scott yesterday told the Vaily^ Mirror that they are constantly dying bowlers to haimonige with their owners' suits.. "Heather-mixture, and various shades of green, brown, and g r e y , " they said,, " are the most pogalar coiours." That purple bowlers are being worn is obvious from the fact that a gentleman yesterday appeared in Fleet-street clad from head to foot in varying shades of purple.

Narrow Escape ol Lady AshmeaS-Bartlett's Sons in the Isle of Wight.
Three young sons' of Lady Ashmead-Bartlett, who had been missed from home, yesterday narrowly escaped with their lives at Scratchell's Bay, Isle of Wight. They started from Cowes on Thursday afternoon to go to Freshwater Bay, walking along the shore to Alum Bay,, and were overtalten by the. tide. The police were informed, and went off in a boat at daybreak yesterday, and, after searching some hours, rescued the lads, They had a thrilling experience battling against the tide, and only their ability to swim saved them.

Her Majesty Has Chosen a Desig-n Depicting s Quaint Danish Custom.

Though Christmas is still three months off, orders for the new season's greeting: cards are already pouring in, and Queea Alexandra has made her choice. Her Majesty's card, which has been made by Messrs. Raphael Tuck and Sons, pays a pretty compliment to our Queen's native country, Denmark, as it represents an old Danish custom which is still observed in the villages. The picture shows a cottager nailing a branch of berried holly and evergreens outside his cottage on Christmas Eve, while his wife, and children look on, the little daughter of the house holding a lamp to enable her father to see. Through the cottage door the yule log is seen burning brightly. The idea behind this- quaint sM Danish custom is to let the birds have a little warmth and comfort during the season of goodwill.

HOW TO GET WORK.

Twenty-Seven Exchanges Established in Eoitdon to Bring: Employer and Workman Together.
To deal with the unemployed question during the conjing winter, the Central (Unemployed) Body is establishing twenty-seven " exchanges " in different parts of London, where those desiring work may apply. > Twenty of these have already been located. Each is to be equipped with the telephone and a staff consisting of a superintendent at a salary ranging fron* J^liiO to .140 a year, and a clerk at a salary of 25s. a week. The total rent, of fourteen of these exchanges atone is estimated af over .570, and, in addition to this, the. cost of furnishing the offices will still further deplete the funds originally intended for relieving the distress among the unemployed classes. In a report issued yesterday by the exchanges committee it is stated that " There will he no attempt to make or provide special work for the relief of those registering, at the exchanges, the object simply being to provide centres at which employers seeking workpeople, and workpeople seeking employmeiit, may at once get into touch with one another."

CHAPTER. 1.
" W e m e e t in a n evil l a n d , ' Two m.en were riding slowly over the African veldt at the end of a long, hot day. They were too tired to talk or to take any interest in the monotonous scenery, except to wish that they were nearer tlieir destination. Soihe sis months ago the elder of the two travellers, Gerard Masson, had asked his cousin Cyril to accompany him on a siiooting expedition to Central Africa, and the invitation had been, joy' fully accepted. Cyril was too ijoor to have many friendsj and such a chance had never come his way before. If he quickly discovered that Gerard was an overbearing, selfish companion, he scarcely acknowledged it even to himself. It made him feel ungrateful, and, in spite of his cousin's autocratic ways, H^' had enjoyed the trip immensely. " I s n ' t that a house over t h e r e ^ " Gerard exclaimed Suddenly, pointing towards a * " m the ] bare, brown land. H e was a strikir ^ n g man by reason of his great height ? / i e a \ j build, and Cyril looked quite slim p . / b o y i s h in com parison, though he was of a:>ii^e propgrtions, " I t looks like it," was the reply. " It's a building of some sort." " T h e n we'd better make for it. The horses are almost knocked up, and I shouldn't mind a good square meal myself, even if it's the usual skihny fowl and tough beef. In any case it's a chance to fill our waterrbag, and one we can't afford to neglect in this sandy desert," So they turned off the track and made for the squat-looking building, which was half-hidden b y the rising ground in front. As they approached they saw that it was the usyal Boer farm of the poorer sort. A dilapidated wagon stood in the compound, where some half-fed chickens scratched about in search of food and never lost hopfc. . There \vas a verandah round the house with a mud floor, which was split here and there by the heat, and lying in a roeking-chair, half-asleep, was a man in shirt and troiisers. Gerard Masson called to him in his imperious way, and the man looked up, but did not move. " H i , there! Can you irive us ariythin^ to eat? We're almost famished." "You'll get nothing here,", was the insolent reply, without a change of attitude. Gerard Hushed wrathfully; he was accustomed in lording it over his inferiors,, but knowing how powerless he was to enforce his will for once he moderated his tone. " B u t we're dog-tired and half-starved," he deigned to explain, " a n d the horses are ahnost done for. They want a feed badly, and we've sent all our own stuff on ahead." " I've told you there's nothing here for you or for them, so you'd better move on." " B u t I'll pay anything you Jike," pulling out a i;andful of money. " If you'll give us a meal and a shake-down for the night, I should really be much obliged, and you won't often make five pounds so easily." The Boer's little eyes glistened greedily as he saw the gold,, but he did not move. " K e e p an Englishman a night in my h o u s e ? " ho sneered. " Not I ! He'd be dear at any price. I've had too much to do with your cursed race already for m.y own good. I'd turn every one of you out of the country if I had my way. Will you go, or shall ,1 set the dog on y o u ? " H e whistled, and a great, lean, black mongrel came rushing up. Gerard dropped from his horse and advanced with a threatening air, riding-whip in hand. " Y o u insolent b r u t e ! I should like to teach you a lesson," he said, his eyes flashing. " J a n will teach you one first," the Boer replied, with a loud laugh, and he said something' in Kaffir to the dog, which stood in front of its master, growling ominously in its throat. " S t o p ! Gerard, the dog'U fly at your'throat in ^ m o m e n t ! " Cyril exclaimed in alarm. " D o n ' t bother about such a brute; he's not worth it. 'Lei's go on." " Your friend gives good advice," said the farmer Hvith a sneer. " J a n won't wait much longer."

" And I looked, a n d t h e r e w a s none to help." Silence, if not peace, hung over the Boer farm. The long, hot day was done, and, having eaten and drunk their fill, the Kaffir boys threw themselves down like tired animals and slept heavily. 'I'he full African moon cast a glamour over the hare, ugly house, with its corrugated iron outbuildings, which shone like silver in the soft flood of light. Night had not yet come, though the day was done, and for any who still watched there was beauty to be found in such aii Tiour even herethe beauty of loneliness and space, of a great empty land, which was still much as its Maker had created it. But the woman w h o w a s pacing up and down in front of the quiet house saw no beauty anywhere. She was weary to death after so many hours spent in dose attendance on her sick cliild, and when at last the httle one had fallen asleep she had come outside for a little exercise and fresh air before retiring for the night. The house, especJally in the hot weather, was tainted by the smell of halfdried bullock skins, and she lifted her head with a sigh of relief to meet the cool, refreshing breeze that had sprung u p . How tired she w a s ! How lonely and forlorn! She wondered dully whether any other woman had ever been so unhappy. Her life was as bare and dreary as the scene before h e r ; as scorched and withered as the arid plain. She looked up at the golden moon floating in a purple sea of sky, and tears stung her eyes j but they did not fall. She had learnt how to hold them b a c k j how to keep an impassive face when her heart ached with a sickness of pain. She could not have said why the tears had come. Perhaps the beauty of the night struck a sharp contrasting note; perhaps her lonfilinesa came home to her suddenly as she paced up and downa pathetic, girlish figurewith nobody to give her a thought or a word of comfort and kindness. " E v e n hea strangerfelt sorry for me, I know," she mu^ed, her thoughts going back to the visit of the afternoon. *' I could see it in his face. H e looked as though he could hardly keep quiet when Hendrik spoke so cruelly. What a nice face he hadso young and kind i How different from the men I have met out here 1 It is such a long time since I have seen a gentleman that t had almost forgotten what he was like. And now it has come back my own lot seems all the hardei to bear. I see all that I have missed. I know what a terrible mistake I madea mistake that only death can put an end to. " And "with a little bitter smile" be' and I are both young and strong, antfit is not likely that I shall escape that way. Death seldpra comes irficffl H e is called, I have heard. And the years are so long^so long 1 Where jhall I find the courage to meet them? I grow more sick and weary every day. If it were not for the child I would have done with it all) if not in one way, then in another. What good is my life to me? What shall I bo in another ten y e a r s ? " She gave a .shudder of disgust as she pictured to herself what those barren, monotonous years would bring her. Theirs was not the life of thinking, intelligent men and women. It was an animal existence j a matter of hard work for her, at least, with fiufiicient fgod'aad sleep thrown in to make it barely s.. 6h.8a-wlt5);8fflf growing more and mora

the soulless, apathetic drudge ; patient bedause she had lost all spirit and had neither the heart nor the strength to complain. Perhaps as she grew old she would become so lised to her drudgery, to hex hard, sordid life, that she would cease to dream of any others she would forget that the world held anything different. That might be the best thing that could happen to her. The bitter smile twisted her Up again as she thought of it. She had had her full share of the hopes and illusions of youth, and was- this how they were all to end? And the man she had marriedwhat would the years do for him? She saw him growing more Cruel and brutal as the drink fiend tightened its hold and slowly but surely killed any goodness that still remained. He,would lose all self-respect, every decent impulse wOuld shrivel up until^ the brute only was leftthe savage, vicious animal whose impulse is to torture and destroy, who must find a victim. And in this case the victim would be her or the child. She clasped her hands with a stifled cry as she thought that a day might come when she could no longer stand between the fragile little creature sleeping inside and her unnatural father. Hendrik Truter's wife had been married to him six years, and in that time she had learnt-to know him beyond any possibility of self-deception. She had no illusions left concerning him ; she knew that there was everything to fear and nothing to hope. She was just thinking that it was time she went in, though she was reluctant to leave the cool stillness of the summer night for the hot, uncomfortable house, when a shrill scream in a child's voice arrested every thought and action.. It came again frightened, appealing, the cry of a creature in fear and painand, recovering her senses, the woman dashed up to the house. As she went in at the front door she saw her husband I.urch out at the back, and, with every fear intensified, she rushed into the room where she had left the child asleep, A primitive night-light, consisting of a wick floating in oil in a glass of water, left the room half in" darkness, and for a moment she did not see what had ha;ppened.. She had gone up to the bed with outstretched hands and tender words, and found it empty. She looked wildly round, calling to the child, and then she saw a little white bundle lying motionless n the floor. With the cry of a woimded-.aniinal, she threw herself down aiid gathered it up in her arms. There was no answer to her eager questions, no movement in, the little figure, which lay so lightly on the clasping arms, a n d j n an agony of fear and horror she carried it ovcf^to the light. Then she understood what had happened. There was blood on the white nightgown, blood on the soft, fair hair, and the mark of more than one cruel blow on the childish, wasted form. As she tore the gown from the shoulders and saw fach fresh injury t;he woman's face grew cold and stiff, until it looked as though carved in stone. Only the eyes blazed v/ith a terrible lights She hardly needed to see the strap on the floorstained rea here and thereto tell her what had been done. H e had been herethe man to whom she had given the right to tyrannise over a helpless baby, to frighten it with cruel words, to spend his drunken rage on it in brutal blows. Not a stranger, not some degraded savage, but the child's own father, had been the one to do this hideous deed. She rocked her unconscious burden mechanically to and fro, iier wild eyes fixed on the stili, white face, while the fury within her mounted higher and higher until it swept everything else away. A blood-red mist surged round h e r ; the dreadful colour seemed everywhere. She was filled with a madness of hate and rage. . , . That he should have beaten the .little helpless thing until it fell down insensible because, perchance, it had whimpered a little from weariness or pain! T h e brute ! The coward ! Her hands clenched till the nails pierced the flesh, but she felt nothing. " H e has done it for the last time," she said, speaking imconsciously aloud. " H e shall never strike her again." Her voice was low and toneless from the very intensity of passion ; no words could exprfes what she thought or felt. For that action was required, She,got up, her face set like a white mask, and laid the child carefully down on the bed. How stilt she. w a s ! The eyelids, never lifted, the breath scarcely fluttered between the parted lips. Was she going to lose the only thing she had to love in the world? But stronger even in that moment than her outraged mother-love was her hatred of the man who had done this. She, must settle accounts with him first; then she would attend to the child. She, who.had hitherto shrunk from him in fear and trembling, now longed to stand with him face to face. T h e finishing touch had_been given to the loathing and misery of years. Her sufferings had reached the unbearable point. She walked over to the wall where a knobkerry hung suspended frojn a nail, and took it down. She .had seen her husband fell.a rebellious KafHr with it once when the safer and more painful sjambok was not to hand. The heavy knob at The end of our serial, " A Man's Past," wiH be, found on paffe 13. Our Crty Article i^ppeara on page 6.

the enii of the stick made it a dangerous weapon even for a woman to use, and in her present state .Truter's wife had more than a man's strength and determination. " H i s blood be on his own head," she said sternly, as she took-it down. She had not a moment's hesitation or fear. She knew what she meant to do, and she was going to do it. Truly, he had earned his reward, he had deserved the sentence her heart and mind had passed on him. There should be no escape. She had no touch of pity or relenting. As long as bia Ill-usage had fallen only, or principally, on her she had endured i t When be tortured the child, it was the step too far. She softly shut the bedroom door and went down the passage and out at the back of the House, where she had seen her husband disappear. She stoed a moment looking round when she got outside? There was no one in sight; the moonlight illuminated the untidy farmyard and straggling fields, but it showed her no sign of the man she wanted, All was hushed in the stillness of night. There was no sound or voice anywhere but the occasional call of a dreaming Kaffir and the lowing of the hot, uneasy cattle. She had expected to find her husband somewhere close by, but when she did not she walked swiftly on, keeping a keen look out. She would find him presently, she knew. She took no account of t i m e ; she did not know how long it was since she had seen him lurch out of the house, or whether he. miglit not have returned. Wherever he had gone, she would find him sooner or later; that was all that concerned her. With unfaltering steps she pursued her way, the knobkerry tightly clasped in her hand, the vision of the child's white, suffering face drawing her on like a magnet, every pulse in her being crymg out for vengeance, . " Kill him ! Kill him ! " whispered! the insistent voice in her ear. " Show no mercy. H e is worthy

of death."

She almost laughed aloud. As if there could be any doubtany question in the matter! Besides, it had gone beyond that now. Her sense of justice and everything else were overwhelmed by the mad longing for revenge, by the absolute necessity for some vent for the tumult within her. She must get rid of this manhe and she could no longer live on the same earth. The thought of all the bitter years he had given her rose up and added fuel to the flame. But for him she might have been free and happy. H e r hfe had been wretched enough before, but until-in her ignorance and follyshe had joined It to his it had, at least, not lacked the elftment of hppe, There had been the possibility of better things. She might one day have made her escape. H e liad closed the prison door fast on h e r ; no prisoner, however guilty, however degraded, had ever had a more cruel gaoler. H e had stood between her and the simplest rights of every human creature, between her and every innocent enjoyment. H e had made even her motherhood an ever-present terror. And what had she done to deserve it? Nothing nothing, she knew. Since he had brought her to the farm, when little more than a child, she had striven at first in every way to please him. When she had found out that that was impossible, she had made it hel business at least to obe-y, never to neglect a duty. She had been more, and less than his wifej she was his servant, his slave., Nobody waited on him as she did ; nobody bore his abuse so patiently. Even the Kaffirs could escape at times, but for her there was no release. She was always on the spot J the vast, empty plains shut her in like a wall. She could never get far enough away to be out of sight of her wretched home or out of reach of her husband's voice. There was not an hour in the day when she could shut her door and bft at peace.

She wondered now how she had borne it so long. H e r miseries had truly been many and great, but they were coming to an end.'

I t was in the winter of another year that Denzil returned to London. H e had disappeared entirely from his world, out of the lives of, all his old friends, long agolong enough to be forgotten save by the very few who were constant. There was the old tired look in his eyes, the half-weary tone in his voice. What his hfe had been for the past year none would ever know, he himself scarcely' cared to remember. Biit it was ended now, and he had returned to his own country with a set purpose. Through the old familiar streets, now enveloped in a slight yellow fog, he was driven; through one upon which he resolutely closed his eyes. I t was the one in which his town house stood, the house where Kate had died, the house that he had parted with because never could he bear to pass through its doors again. H e went straight to his rooms where he found an accumulation of letters which took him all the morning to go through; and he afterwards received visits from his men of business who had grown a little impatient at his long absence. And when he coiild count the day at last his own, he went out again and'made his way to a house which lay far away from the glare and noise of London, which stood alone in ,the dim, silent country. The journey was a long one, so long that it was late when he reached his destination, and his inquiry for Mrs. Tempest was received with a look of suspicion from the little country maid who somewhat reluctantly admitted him to her mistress's presence,, But Denzil piit her aside, and unceremoniously closed the door in her face; and for a moment he closed his eyes, and drank in the old subtle scent of violets that brought with it memories of the past. " I have come back," he said to the woman who came to meet him. " I n all the world there is only youonly you who cares. I deserve nothing; but if you can help me to forget the pagt, and for the years that arc left to us make a neiv lifeMeg, I have come back to you, and if you turn from me now---" Where he knelt at her feet she leant forward and passed hei; hands over his hair with a gesture of half-pity and infinite tenderness. " If I can help you to forget, if l can bring you peace and any happiness," she said softly, " then stay," THE END.

. M r s . WiT-LiS, junr,, of Ladysmilh Cottage, Felsted, lissex, writes on 29'.h January, 1906 : " My husband has not been feeling well lately, and is no.w taking a bottle of Guy's Tonic, which he always finds doe* him more .good than anything else, and he has taken a great many medicines. " W e always feel that we cannot recomjuehd Guy's Tonic too highly, and all out frierids hold the same good opinion of it. When feeling ' o u t of sorts' and ' r u n down' a dose o? two of Guy's Tonic does them good directly.'^

The mother ought not to be so thoughtless, for

the young wife will probably repeat her words by way of a joke to her husband, and b e astonished to find him angry. It is such-thoughtlessness that brings about quarrels between man and wife. The, husband's mother is quite as great an offender as the wife's mother. No .girl can be good enough for her son in her belief. She will enter the new home and point out its defects, mentioning the special aversions of her bOy, describing his likes and dislikes, and generally leaving the impression that he is the only one to be considered in the house, Gratuitous advice of that sort is never of tise to a wife. She does not want to be told that her husband likes his teef well cooked or two lumps of sugar in his t e a ; the little joys of her life He in finding these things out for herself, whTle on his part nothing can be sweeter to the husband than to discover that his wife observes his peculiarities and respects them, It is not suggested that no couple can be happy

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Windows should never be cleaned while the sun shines on them, as it is impossible to polish i h e m without leaving streaks. When grease spots appear on wall-paper, lay a sheet of blotting-paper upon Jjie spot and pass over it a moderately warm flat-iron, If soot falls upon the carpet or rug 4 o not attempt to sweep it until it has been covered thickly "^vilh dry salt.. It can then be swpt u p , and not a stain or smear will be left. Yolks of eggs left over when the whites only are needed will keep for several days if they are covered with cold water. I n hot weather it is Aveli to change the water every day." Should a lamp be overturned, smother the flame, but do not use water, for it will simply spread it. Instead, throw down flour, sandj garden earth, or salt, stny of wliich will have tlic desired effect. ' When cleaning copper or brass add a little turpentine to the polish; it will clean quickly and alsp remove stains. For very'stubbom stains use salt and vinegar frrst; it may also bs" used to advantage on spopiis,and forks v/hen stained..

AD TALKS.
Tell-your story as clearly, as entertainingly, and as convincingly as you can, and get it into the hands of as many people as possible. T h a t is the sum and substance of advertising. Whether the public responds or not depends on whether there is a real demand for the thing advertised. If there isn't, advertising shnuJd hi time create the d e m a n d ; if the need does not exist you must be prepared to wait for results. You should not judge advertising by the returns from one advertisement any more than the climate of a country by one rainy dayit may hail the next. The greatest success is attained by myriad small strokes. The iDersistency of the supporters of the advertisement columns of the Dally Mirror proves this.

Cobra Boot Polisti is a veritable boon to the man. who puts a sufficient value oil his personal appearailce. Men who are antiquated and seedy'-looking, die poor. Men wfto are ail-round smart make fortunes. There is nothing that contributes more to a smart, well-groomed appearance than a pair of well-finished boots. T h e man who adopts " C o b r a " Boot Polish keeps his boots bright /y^d glossy ail day. I'he man who doesn't may look passable when he leaves for business, but the dust and dirt of the city soon cling to the greasy polish which has been used; On the other hand, " C o b r a " leaves an indelible, lustrous brilliance, free'from grease, which never fails to give satisfaction. Free from any deleterious substance, " Cobra." preserves the leather in a plastic, pliable form, which ministers materially to the comfort of the wearer. " Try before you b u y " combines prudence with common sense. If you will kindly fill in. the coupon with your full name and address, send it to us by post, you can obtain a T i n of " Cobra"' free of charge and post paid.
