No meat should be given to a child under four years of age. Pieces of raw potatoes clean an in- fant’s feeding-bottle better than anyâ€" thing else.

If a piece, on being burnt, smells of garlic, arsenic is present. v at Identifying Dead Soldiers. Each of the armies in this great war, says the Christian Herald, has a system that enables it to identify the dead. The Russian soldier wears a numbered badge; the French soldier ‘has an identification card stitched into his tunic; the German soldier has a little metal disk that bears his name; the British soldier has an alu- minum disk, with identification marks and church affiliations; the Japanese soldier has three disks, all alike, one round his neck, another in his belt, and another in his boot; and the Aus- trian soldier has a gun-metal badge, with hs name on a tiny parchment leaf within. The Turk is the only solâ€" dier so lightly valued that he carries no badge. Identification is evidently regarded as unnecessary in his case. >X< SLUGS HARD. Tea and Coffee Are Sure and Power- ful.

He says further that he did not be- gin drinkin‘g coffee until he was twen- ty years old, and that slowly it began to poison him, and affect his hearing through his nervous system. (Tea produces about the same effects as coffee, because they both contain the drugs, caffeine and tannin.) “Finally, I quit coffee and the condi- tions slowly disappeared, but one cold morning the smell of my wife’s coffee was too much for me and I took a cup.

Interesting Gossip About some Prom- l nent People. l The Queen of the Belgians, calledl affectionately the “Angel Queen” by the Belgian soldiers, is a daughter of Duke Carl Theodore of Bavaria. The Duchess d’Aosta, who takes a great part in Red Cross work in Rome, was born at Twickenham. Al- though delicate, she is a great devotee of bigâ€"game hunting. Captain J. H. S. Dimmer, who won the V.C. by gallantly handling a machine-gun against the Prussian Guards, confesses that the honor has brought publicity to the point of be- coming “a worry and annoyance." Miss Mary Garden, the opera sing- er, is of Scottish extraction, and has a pretty wit. When asked if a woman of the world could dress on $1,250 a year, she promptly retorted: “It may be possible, but what’s the use 7” Lady Cardigan, whose “Memoirs” caused such a stir a few years ago, has many Crimean relics in her home at Deene Park, Northamptonshire, in- cluding the head of the charger which her husband rode at the head of the famous Light Brigade at Balaclava. Mr. John Redmond has sartorial ambitions. He is wearing a silk hat, with a rather low, massive crown that suits his striking head. When the sun shines he blossoms forth into a light-colored trilby and a flower in his ' buttonhole. He is easily the best- i dressed man in the Irish Party. The least-discussed member of the British Government to-day is Mr. Bir- rell, who seems to have relapsed into ‘ obscurity. He makes no speeches, and he no longer “Birrells”â€"-that is to say, talks charmingly in the “obiter dicta” vein. He looks a tired man, and it is doubtful whether he would not welcome retiral from the Cabinet.

He is M. Paul Cambon,,France's trusted Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, and one of the pillars of the Entente Cordiale, and his house is the great corner building by Albert Gate, where, in a quiet hour stolen from the cares of diplomacy, he may be found immersed in the chessboard.
