Russia's Monster Aeroplanes.
A good deal has been heard concern
ing the British and German aero
planes, but the great Sikorsky bi
planes used by the troops of the czar
have been rather overlooked. These
machines, invented by a famous Rus
sian named Sikorsky, are by far the
biggest aeroplanes being flown in the
war in fact, they are the largest in
the world. They stand 16 feet high.
and are about 100 feet wide. The
Sikorsky can carry almost as many
passengerB as an airship. Twenty
men can be accommodated in the
large passenger, cabin, which is con
structed of metal and contains numer
ous windows. In this machine three
engines are fitted, which give a total
of nearly 1,000 horsepower, for, ow
ing to the Sikorsky biplane weigh
ing in itself one and a half
tons, and having so large a crew to
carry, it demands high power to pull
it off the ground and keep it in the
air.
The weight of the machine has ne
cessitated an elaborate landing
chassis, composed of numerous
springs and pneumatic tubes, so that
the huge biplane can alight safely on
rough ground at a speed of 60 miles
an hour. . .
SHED THE BEST WASHROOM
Its Advantages Are Many, Where Such
an Apartment Is at the Command
of Housewife.
In case a woodshed Is available,
with an old stove that can be used
there, these should be pressed Into
service for washing during the winter
months. The woodshed as a wash
room would necessitate a washday
which is mild and sunshiny, but there
Is usually more than one such day in
each week; and when the health of
the family la at stake, the washing
can well be done on some other day
than Monday. At best, the woodshed
would be cold, hence the worker would
need a piece of old carpet or linoleum
and warm bricks or a soapstone to
protect her feet while standing at the
tubs.
A small' bench on rollers, made the
same height as the wash bench, will
enable the housewife to move the filled
tubs about without any lifting. Such
preparations on the day previous are
necessary in order to shorten the proc
esses on washday and hasten the dry
ing of clothes, for the earlier in the
day that some of the clothes can be
put on the line, the less need there will
be for the remainder to lie wet in the
house or to be dried there.
In case a shed Is too cold for use in
all processes of washing, It should, be
used for those which send off much
steam, such as running clotheB through
the washing machine. Wringer, wash
bench, boiler, basket and hamper
should be kept in this shed rather
than carried from the cellar and back,
or rather than keep doors open while
carrying them from the smokehouse
to washroom, as is sometimes done.
Danger In Overcrowded Care.
Health Commissioner Ooldwatnr's

public health and safety, It can be
readily demonstrated that throat af
fections, tuberculosis and like disease
are transmitted from person to per
son undor the conditions that exist In

Heretofore the fight against over
crowding in the cars has usually been
waged on the score of discomfort If
it Is now to be carried on as a health
campaign, to safeguard the people
against infection and contagion, it will
probably be effective. Jersey City

One Who Does Much Sewing Should
See That It Is Always In
Perfect Condition.
When much machine work has
be done, filling the shuttle la a con
stant annoyance. This can be part
ly obviated by threading the shuttle
with finer cotton than that used on
the needle. The sewing will be quite
as strong, and the shuttle will not
need refilling half so often as it
would if threaded with the same num
ber of cotton as the needle, because
the spool will hold a great deal more
of the finer cotton.
If you want your sewing machine
to do satisfactory work, remember
that it needs to be kept clean. After
every ten hours' work it needs oil,
but all surpluB oil must be carefully
wiped off afterwards. Always work
it steadily, and never start or stop
with a Jerk.
One dressmaker, whose machines
are noted amongst her sewing girls
for their smooth and easy running,
oils them once in every three times
with paraffin instead of the usual oil.
Of course she is careful that the ma
chines are kept scrupulously clean. A
dirty machine can't be expected to do
good work.
When your machine Is not in use,
see that the wheels are left so that
the oil holes are at the top of the
hub. This will save clearing away
the superfluous oil, which trickles out
and causes the hub to catch the dust
Before you begin to sew take an
odd piece of material and stitch back
wards and forwards before commenc
ing ordinary work. If any oil works
up with the needle, as so frequently
happens after oiling or cleaning, It
will not spoil your material.
Treat a machine as a delicate In'
strument, and keep it away from
draughts and damp.

Mark Sullivan's Error.
Mark Sullivan, editor of Collier's
Weekly, was the Bpeaker of the eve
ning at a recent banquet given in
Detroit by the Adcraft club. He was
.the last on the program. It was no
ticeable that Mr. Sullivan spoke very
rapidly, though eloquently. His re
marks were brief, and afterwards it
was wondered by those who heard
htm. why he didn't speak longer.
"I omitted many things that I to
tended to say," said Mr. Sullivan to
a friend afterwards.
"Why?" the friend asked.
"It was so late," answered Mr. Sul
llvaa "It wasn't very .late," the friend re
plied, "and the audience was very
anxious to hear you."
"I looked at my watch when I got
up," said Sullivan, "and it was a quar
ter to 12. At that hour no one should
attempt to make a speech!"
"Heavens, man!" exclaimed the
friend, "you've got eastern standard
time. It was only a quarter of 11
Jhen you started."
Poor Comfort
Richard Croker, at a dinner at the
Democratic club, in New York, said
bf the war:
"Everybody Is telling the comba
tants in Europe what a regenerated
world it will be after the war is over
jno more armament firms, no more con
scription, no more race rivalry.
"But the way they are getting
killed off, the combatants must feel
about all this consolation like Tim
Grady.
"Tim Grady lay in his sick bed
groaning and moaning.
"'Are ye very bad, Tim? asked his
wife.
" 'No.' said he. It's the doctor I'm
thinkln' of. What a bill ltll be, to
be sure, to be sure.'
" 'Shure, now, Tim,' said his wife).

To Cook Cabbage In Half an Hour.
Have plenty of salted boiling water.
In which a teaspoonful of soda has
been dissolved. Plunge the cabbage
In, top downward; leave it uncovered
and let it boil until tender. That will
be from twenty minutes to half an
hour. Take it out into a colander;
drain well, put into a hot dish; add
lots of butter, some salt 'and pepper
and serve at once. It will be as deli
cate as cauliflower and the color be
retained, as well as no unpleasant
odor over the house such as is always
associated with boiling cabbage. Try
t once.
Underdone Meat
If a Joint of meat should be too on
derdone to eat, and several slices have
been carved out, it can be cooked
again and served up as a fresh Joint
If the hole Is filled up with mashed
potatoes and cooked in a brisk oven
for an hour. The browned notatoes
will be much appreciated and the fact
that it is the second time of sending
it to table will not be noticed.
Browned Flour for Gravy.
Keep a quantity of browned flour
an hand for making gravy; you will
una it saves a great deal of time. Put
several spoonfuls evenly on the bot
tom of a baking pan and stir it over
i moderate fire until It becomes an
imber brown. Turn it into a bottle
nd keep for use.
Bran Geme,
One egg, one cupful flour, two cup

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES
A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and Inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist's get a Jar
of Reslnol Ointment and a cake of
Resinol Soap. With the Reslnol Soap
and warm water bathe the affected
parts thoroughly, until they are free
from crusts and the skin is softened.
Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer
of the Reslnol Ointment, and cover
with a light bandage. This should be
done twice a day. Usually the dis
tressing Itching and burning stops
with the first treatment, and the skin
soon becomes clear and healthy again,
