The war establishment in tb' Held wan for home and colonies tu'A ,u and horses, and for India -178 men and DOS horBes. In 11 l.'i there was n recanting of the Held artillery organizations at lionje, due to the return from South Africa of a ijuiijImt of units that had leea lu colonial service. Various change were made to increase the elllciency of this arm of the service. The total numlier of service batteries and companies at home and abroad Is twenty-five horses, lid Held, nine mountain, ninety-seven garrison companies, including twelve heavy batteries. The lufantry of the British arjny consists of four regiments in the bri gade of guards, comprlsliiK ulne bat tailous; sixty-seveu regiments of in fantry of the line und two rifle Tel incuts, with a total of fourteen , bat talions. The normal composition of a line regiment has been two battalions, but in 11)13 it was decided to establish four battalions of each regiment, and steps were taken to carry the measure Into effect. Exclusive of the Indian army there are eighty-five troops, companies and other formations of engineers for field brtdnliitf. searchlight, railway, survey and similar duties. A new army signal force was formed recently, comiwsed of royal engineer wireless and tele graph men ami Infantry and cavalry signalers. The army service corps was organized In eighty companies. In cluding fifty-six for horse transport, fifteen for nipchanlcal transport, five aupply and four remount companies. Well Supplied With Aeroplanes. As in the case of all the European armies, the number of military aero planed In use lu Croat Britain is not known with absolute certainty. A re cent computation, believed to he accu rate, places It at 2.VJ. Besides this there are several large military dirigi ble balloons. Great Britain has about 1.0.10 men trained In the use of nero planes, and must of them nre available for service. The British army olllcer Is generally considered a koeu soldier,' with a sense of his duties and responsibilities, al though the custom of appointing offi cers from the so called "upper" classes has had Its usual deleterious effect (if "Tummy Atkins" much good nnri had have been said recently, and his pialltles are only to be determined in the cni'ible of lire. But he has a long und honorable record to sustain him. It Is not believed that he is as good physically as his predecessors, since the crowding of the British Into tho titles has acted Injuriously on the phy sique of the recruits for the army. The British artillery Is made at home, at Woolwich and elsewhero. The British guns mm! mnmunlMou are highly rated by experts. MWItSHM.WJ.OW CAKE.

EVEN though you may not have hardwood floors, in every room where you use rugs, large or small, the uppearuuee of such rooms will be greatly improved to say noth ing of the sanitary conditions and the eaxe of taking earo of them, if you will eliminate all the old dust laden carpet or filling and substitute paint. Throw away your old filling or burn it so that It cannot possibly return in the form of rag rugs or some other equally bad form. Free your floor from all trace of dust and crack ac cumulations and then with a bucket of hot water and soap wash the sur face thoroughly to free it from all trace of dirt. Then with another bucket of hot water go over the floor with a scrubbing brush until it is absolutely clean and ready for the next proceess. In all probability there will be many wide and long cracks old floors are all that way unless the house is in unusual condition, which is very seldom the case. Buy a good, known maker's brand of crack filler and fill all the cracks, using a round bladed kitchen knife or spatula or applying it according to any special directions on the label of the can This may seem like a tedious job aud look while the work is being done as though you are not really accom plishing much of an Improvement, for the crack filler will not be the color of your boards, but if it Is put In with ordinary care, you will have the foundation of what will look almost like a one-piece floor later when your paint is on. If there are any loose boards be sure to nail them down or your crack filler will work out In all such places. Then choose an oak floor paint and begin work the next day.

I This can be done before the paint has been varnished or after the var-! ulsh is applied, and then a coat of varnish put on over the stencil work. In a guest room which is used less, let the white paint of the surbase extend on the floor to the width of a foot or so. Paint a line of some color harmonizing with the general color scheme of the room, close to the surbase as a division line and on the white floor surface stencil some simple pattern.
