Fire First-Aid Hints. How Music Came.

Fire accidents are liable to oc- eur anywhere and to anyone, and one ought to be prepared to deal with a crists of this kind. In the ease of a small fire prompt action may be the means of putting at guce.

If a curtain catches. firo it should be pulled down quickly and the flames crushed out with a piece of carpet or rug.

.. A wet blanket or cloth is valuable for putting out flames wherever they are, or, if the Ore is on the ground, water may be poured over it. In the case of sudden fire fire- grenades are excellent.

If an oil lamp overturns the flames should be extinguished by throwing earth or nahes over them. Water would only help to spread them.

If your clothing should catch firo the first thing you should do is to throw yourself on the floor, wrap- ping yourself in a rug or any other woollen article if anything of the kind is handy, and roll över and

over.

Often dangerous burns and fat! accidenta would have been prevent- ed if, "when a person's clothing 'caught fire, those who went, to her. assistance had had the presence of mind to cover her with any woollen articles within reach, pressing them well over her and forcing her to keep lying down. Running about and calling for help when one's clothing is burning is a fatal thing to do.

When Washing Net Curtains.

First shake the curtains to get rid of all loose dust, then soak them in cold water for an hour or so, If the net is coloured, a little salt may be added to the sonking water. Squeeze them out of this, and wash them in warm water, making a lather with melted soap or soap; A West End bank official ex-down in the water till clean. lakes Work the curtains up and pressed this opinion to the Euch ing Standard recently respecting an announcement that an unknown

person had lost 215 by this mis-

take.

Rubbing must be avoided, as it is apt to stretch the net out of shape. Then Vinge, first in warm, then in eold water, until quite clear "We have to take twice as much ed starch may be

added to the official said. "Women are cau- not wring or twist the curtains, the last rinsing water, 'Do tious to the point of finickiness in fold them evenly and put them Home matters and grossly careless through the wringer. Shake.out fully to their correct shape and the curtain and pull them care-

in others.

"It is true Bank of England notes are sometimes deceptive to the lay-enth. When half dry iron on the ma, owing to the similarity of wrong side with a moderately hat notes for large and small amounts.iran.

The most notable difference [between the 45 and the £10 notes which are in most enmmon us, is the look of the black panel in the corner bearing the words 'Five' and {"Ten," A glance at this word in) either note will enable one toi identify it at once.

"But at a glance the word “Fifty' Honka so very like Five that the mistake might easily be made by one, who thought he land only £5 notes in his possession.

"The resemblance in size of the £5 and 250 notes facilitates the confusion. The reason the design of buiknotes is not elaborated in different ways for different.values, Ra in the eve of Treasury notes, in hot bankavlag prap for temptation to forgers, and the sim- plicity of their open design makes the least deviation in the engraving of a forged note obvious.”

The manager of a large West End store explained that £50 notes were never accepted from strangers except on the same basis as a cheque that the goods should be held back in the note had been ac

epted by a bank.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS

ANIFUL NICE -

A terra cotta jar is n dignified ornament for the veranda.

(Lucretius V., 1379-1389.)

Man's earliest music was the

song of birds; "From birds he learnt.to whistle

iluty notes.

A hyacinth blue georgette Kown, simply and charmingly decorated with pin tucks and picot-edging. Note the grace- ful sweep

of the skirt, dipping at the back and rising in front, below the pin-tucked hip yoke.

Long ere his voice and ears

could take delight

In tuneful song. And next, the

wind's light play

"

On hollow reeds taught him to

breathe forth sound Through hollow stalks Un-

trimm'd.

With slow advance.

He learnt the utterance of sweet

lament,

Plying his fingers, on the sound-

ing pipe.

The sound was heard in path-

less lens and woods,

In glades, and ways by none but

shepherd trod,

Where all was peace. And thus

men goothed their hearts. -DENIS TURNER.
