The golden rule in _cold weather is
uiidoiibiedl_\' to keep the t-xtreniities
warm. The first and most iiiiporiatit
thing to coii:-*iiler iii carrying out this
idea is never to be tightly shud. Ilunts
or slioes that fit closely prevent the
free circulation ol’ the hlood by pres-
sure; but wlic-ii, on tlir- contrary. tht-y
do not t-mliruce The loot too firmly.

llepeziieil st-aiding will often fail to
make a sponge sweet and soil, us it
was origiiially. 'l`lie best thing to do
is to take care of it at first. If tht-
sponge is frt-ed from soapsuds and
huiig'wliere it will get dry each time
after it is used it will not become sour.
iii order to do this. wash the soap out
with warm water, after using it and
rinse it in cold water. Squeeze it as
dry as you can with the hands, but do
not ring ii, as that would hrr-ak the
libres.

DUCHESS MARRIES
_ MAN IN TRENCHES.
The widowed Duchess of Suther-
land, said to be one oi the most beati-
tiful women in Europe. the daughter
of an Earl and organizer of a complete
ambulance service. which is reported
to be doing splendid work in Bt-.lgiuiii
and France, has recently married ii
major in the British army.
Known for years as a pliilautliro-
Dist and writer. this picturesque chur-
acter. in the midst ot' her red Cro.-is
work near the firing line. has had time
to contribute many pages to the great
London Times History of the \\'ar."
The censorship, which is the despair
of most correspondents, has been lift-
ed in the case of this patriotic noble
woman. She was present at the siege
of Liege, anti through her eiivinhle
conncetioiis with the power that he on
the Allied side, and the fact that she
had access to sources of information
denied to all other cnrrespoiideiits has
written an account of the Liege cam-
paign tlint will probably stand for
many years as the one niitlioriitiw ri-
cord of this celebrated siege.
This account is profusely illustrat-
ed with the most drniiiiiiit- liolgian
pictures yet taken. lt is written by ii
heroic woman whose Iiiisband is with
the British forces. which are bearing
the brunt of the terriiit- Gernian us-
saults. lt forms but u .single long
chapter in the elaborate. current his-
tory of the war that is being publish-
ed by the greatest of Europt-an iii-w.~-
papers. the London Times,
\\'itli the care iiior cliarar-terizt-s
the editorial work of the Loiitloii
Times. tlie Liege cliflpter oi' "The llis-
tory of the War." has been cure-liilly
edited and reiiifort-eil by the celebriti-
etl sta_li` of iiiililary. naval and rliplonilt-
iif- experts of that newspaper.
There are pictures showiiig exar-ily
how tlic-sc typical muderii fortress at
Liege were operated; how the cupol-
ns were raised for firing and sunk a-
gain into the grotiiid in stir.-li ai way
that no ordinary cannon coufltl do
the-ni any dniiiage. 'l`lier\> arc picturen
also showing the great Krupp siege
howiizers. and clear dc-scriptioii of
how enoriiious projt-i-tilt-_- were drop-
ped into the supposedly iiiipregiiable
Belgian and French forts. I’ii~iures ul-
su show the vit-torioiis llcriiiiiiis nink-
ing their entry into the ciiptiiiv-tl lie)-
giaii cities.
So much iecliiiical kiiowlt-tl;:e,\\‘ril-
ten in a thoroughly reatlalilt- iiiuiiiif-r
has been compressed into this "lli.--
lory of the War" that it is very pro-
Iitable that it will take its place zi-
mong the iiiiliinry ti.-xi bool-is as well
as in the huntlreds oi tliiiusaiiids oi
libraries of persons who insist upon
llaviiig liooks of rt-:il iiiilliiirily and
value.
