LORD ROSEBERY ON COURAGE. Lord'Rosebery attended the annual review of the London Metropolitan Fire Brigade in Victoria-park on, Satu = d y afternoon, and in a speech to the men spoke of the popularity of the service of which they were members, and o( the courage and nerve re- quired of them in performing their difficult and dan- gerous duties. The nation, he said, always honoured fcrave men, and he did not know where he could,find braver men than in the ranks of the brigade. Lady Margaret Primrose, Lord Rosebery's younger daughter, was also present, and distributed the medals and certificates awarded for distinguished brawry and good service.

WHAT HORSFORD DID CONFESS.
WHAT HORSFORD DID CONFESS. The story to the effect that Horsford has in the document which he handed to the prison authorities confessed to the murder of one or two persons besides his recent victim is wholly unauthorised and incorrect. It is understood that it is not the intention of the Home Office to publish this document either in full or in part, but in order to correct the misapprehen- sions which exist on the subject, it is permissible to state on authority: 1. That Horsford freely and fully confesses in the document the crime for which he has been hanged. 2. That he admits the justice of the sentence passed upon him. 3. That he makes no sort or kind of allusion to any other crimes. These are the three points worthy of being set forth. The document contains in addition a good deal of matter which does not affect these plain issues, and which the authorities consider it would serve no good purpose to make public.
,A GREAT FEDERATION.
A GREAT FEDERATION. A movement has been going on since the close of the great engineering strike of 1897-98 with a view to forming a powerful combination of employers in kindred trades, strong enough to successfully meet RTiy combined demand by what they term the aggressive portion of the trades union world. So far as Scotland Is, concerned, a large combina- tion has now been formed, as wiil be seen by the following Glasgow message: "The Scotch iron and steel founders have formed a powerful federation on the lines Of the Engineering Employers' Federation. It is intended to form a close union with the English employers, with a view el to concerting a general policy in all labour disputes." A number of English firms of prominence have re* reived circulars asking for their views upon h similar course of action, and there "is every probability that in the course of time a definite organisation of em- ployers will be formed, 'I -i ¡
THE RISING IN CENTRAL ASIA.
THE RISING IN CENTRAL ASIA. 4 The leaders of the recent Mohammedan rising in Ferghana against Russian rule have- publicly hanged, and order has been restored in the province. Detailed reports from Central Asia published in the Russian Press, while minimising the Importance of the outlook, show that it was carefully planned. The handful of Russian soldiers encamped at Andijan seem to have been completely taken by surprise, and to have narrowly escaped annihilation. The Russian force numbered 200 men, encamped in the open country in two divisions. So little was any danger anticipated that most, of the officers were away on leave, of absence. Suddenly the little encampment was attacked by 2000 Mohammedan fanatics, led by a Mullah. The Russians were asleep. The sentries were butcheredj but succeeded in giving the alarm. A Caucasian officer saved the situation. Jumping from his bed he seized a revolver in each hand. He dashed through the enemy firing right and left, and managed to. reach the second division safely, although wouuded. He quickly rallied the soldiers, and suc- ceeded in. beating off the M^h^mmedang. All wa« 3ver in about 15 minutes, but nearly^40 Russians had been killed.

I, HOME HHTS. BAIT'S BASKET."—In preparing the layette for a new baby, or doing up his possessions; for his successors, a great point (says a writer in the Rural World) is having it pretty basket. In vid days this was simply a large flat basket covered with muslin, or chinta, which held sponge, violet powder, pins, brushes, and all the necessaries of an infant's toilette, together with the garments neatly folded which he would require at the next change from night to day or from day to nrght dress. Modern luxury has gone much farther. Pretty baskets ar& woven of plain willow, and of mixed rush and willow, and with four legs to support them a shelf" or basket below, and a handle to lift the whole, are most convenient. Daintily trimmed with ribbon, lace, and muslin no present is more acceptable for a young mother, and none more useful. It can be lifted in a minute to any part of the nursery; and the lower basket, for keeping the clothes sapalatc from other things, is of great advantage. HOT MILK AS A ,R PICK-ME-UP."—No one who, fatigued by over-exertion of mind or body, has' ever experienced the reviving influence of a tumbler of hot milk, heated as hot as it can be sipped, will willingly neglect to try its effect again, even if it is less accept- able to the palate than cold milk. Th flavour is quite different; but some people not only do not dis- like it, but actually prefer it. The swiftness with which its Cordial and reviving influence is felt is amazing. Some part of it seems to be digested and assimilated immediately, and many who now fancy they must have recourse to alcoholic stimulants when exhausted by fatigtre-will find in this simple draught an equivalent that will be absolutely satisfying, and far more permanent in its effect. This does not apply to warm, but to really hot milk; as near to boiling, indeed, as you can take it. DAMP SHEETS.—A very good WAY .TO fceofc whether sheets are damp or not is to place an i ordinary tumbler between the sheets for a little while, and if the bed is damp traces of moisture will appear on the inside of the glass. MILK FOR WASHING Distim.-Milk is said to be an excellent substitute for soap in washing dishes. It not only softens the hardest water and gives dishes a clear, polished look, but it preserves the hands from chapping. It also prevents a greasy scum from Appearing on the top of the water. The quantity of milk to use is half a cupful to a. dish-pan half full of very hot water. CREAKING BOOTs.-To stop the creaking of boots, saturate just the sole with linseed oil, taking care that it does not rise into the boots, or they will not take a good polish. FEUIT STAINS.—Fruit stains will usually yield to boiling water; but if not, oxalic acid may be used, allowing 3oz. of the crystal to 1 pint of water. Wet the stain with the solution, place over a kettle of hot water in the steam or in the sunshine. The instant the stain disappears, rinse well; wet the stain with ammonia to counteract the acid remaining, then rinse thoroughly again. This will often save the linen, which is apt to be injured by the oxalic acid.-Cottage Gardening. CHUTNEY SAUCE.—Four lb. of gooseberries, lib. of rasins, stoned and chopped fine, lib. of sultanas also chopped fine, ljlb. of brown sugar, ilb. of salt, £ lb. of powdered ginger, 2oz. of garlic, chopped fine, lib. of yellow mustard seed, powdered fine, toz. of cayenne pepper. First top and tail the gooseberries, then boil them in a quart of vinegar, until soft; turn them into a large open pan, and leave them till cold. Take the sugar, and boil in another quart of vinegar until it becomes thin syrup; put into a basin until cold; now take all the dry ingredients and mix together, and stir them well into the gooseberries, and, last of all, add the syrup, mixing all thoroughly. Put' into wide-necked glass bottles, and; cork down. Place them by the side of the fire. Turn occasionally for 14 days. GOOSEBERBY SAUCE FOB BOII-ED MACKEREL.—Boil one pint of greett gooseberries in water till quite tender; strain them, and rub through a sieve. Put into a saucepan three tablespoonfuls of veal gravy, or stock from veal bones, with 2oz. of fresh butter and seasoning to taste of Bait, pepper, and grated nutmeg. Add the gooseberry pulp) mix all well together, and heat iually through. Last. stir in a little castor sugar, but not enough to destroy the sharp and piquant taste. The gooseberries well want boiling about 20 minutes to half-an-hour. The above will make enough for about four mackerel.

THE WOMAN'S WORLD,
THE WOMAN'S WORLD, SATIN ÐRATDS of the most exquisite description are shown for hats. In shapes they are somewhat smaller, but are by no means inconspicuous. They are literally loaded with trimming, and, although beautiful in themselves, must be selected with care or they do not add at all to the attractiveness of the wearer. THERE are shown a very handsome assortment of poke bonnets. They are not extremely large but are very stylish; and, although but very few women find them becoming, they will undoubtedly be quite generally worn on account of their picturesqueness and real beauty. They are made over a frame, the brim being put on smoothly on the outside. The inside is of shirred crepe, chiffon or lisse. One of these bonnets is of heliotrope velvet on the outside and in- side an exquisite shade of tea rose pink. The trim- ming is of heliotrope feathers and bows of heliotrope ribbon with pansies that look as though they might have been brought from the florist's for this special purpose. ONE of the most stylish capes of the season has a yoke of brocaded velvet in brown and wood colours. The figures on the velvet are outlined with beads, and the leaves are veined with a delicate tracery of iridescent threads. From this yoke a frill of broad- cloth falls to the waist line. This frill is wrought in the same beads as those in the yoke. At the lower edge of this cloth portion there is a triple frill of taffeta in three shades of the brocade. This frill has pinked edges and is set on with gimp made of fine iridescent beads. THERE is but little in the new shirt waists that differ from those heretofore worn. In general effect they are quite the same. Yokes may be varied in shape and collars show some slight changes, but not enough to attract the attention of any one but an 9xpert. A trifling departure is the round collar turned over a straight band. This is new and makes variety which is alway liked, especially by young people who are fond of dressy waists and novelties. IN the item of shoulder capes, fluffiness and an enormous amount of thin material divide favour with cloth trimmed with embroidery and passemen- terie. A pretty model has a yoke of brocaded satin, the figures of which are outlined with bead em- broidery. From the yoke are deep ruffles of taffeta, "nd over these are frills of silk muslin, headed by puffs of the same. A high flaring collar is finished a,t the edge with puffs of muslin. A PRINCESS dress of heliotrope velvet opens over a petticoat front of yellow satin embroidered with pearls. The edge of the velvet princess is finished with a deep frill extending from the tcaist line in front, down either side and around the hem of the dress. The garment was fashioned upon the sugges- tion furnished by a large purple ruffled-edged pansy, ind is most admirably carried out. THE ribbon counters are among the popular resorts for young women, and the number of collarettes, ties ind other heck gear made from' theee beautiful fabrics is almost beyond computatift. THESE are double skirts and draperies in almost all ityles. One double skirt is really nothing more or less than a short, round polonaise, the upper skirt being continuous with the waist. A stylish model of this kind is made of velvet. The princess body has a, skirt extending half the length from the waist line to hem. This is open at one side over a plaiting of taffeta silk. There is a yoke of plaited taffeta edged with rich galloon the sleeves are close-fitting, with slight puffs at the shoulders. The lower skirt is quite long and flares slightly at the foot. It opens in front over a plaiting which is continuous from waist line to hem, and the edges of this lower skirt are likewise finished with galloons. This dress is in- tended for house wear, and is one of the novelty models in which the polonaise is introduced. J A HANDSOME costume is made of Irish poplin. The princess body has long draperies that reach the hem of the skirt in front, then curve sharply up at the back, spreadingat the waisfc line over the very full box plait at the back of the lower skirt. The edge of ne arapery w inrnmeu wicn a mree-incn jpauu ui | relvet ribbon: The same ribbon simulates a bolero ( ilbflbh at t rows lycin "ist-line to xibba* is, set III rows from .uiaes at tiie hem, and braided* in and Out of fhe' rtifflfes at the idwfir portion: of the skirt in basket fashion.

.. THE YOUNG QUEEN OF HOLLAND.
THE YOUNG QUEEN OF HOLLAND. In an article on the Queen of Holland in current Young Womán, we are told that although an only child, little Wilhelmina, thanks to her mother's good sense had plenty of playmates, and was a real ehild. Dolls, like all girl-children, she doted upon. And to be a Queen's dolls means to have a good time in doll-dom. The dolls' chalet at Loo was a spacious house in the grounds of the palace, with salons, bed- rooms, and kitchens, where the dolls' mother learned to cook food for the doll-children; and in the garden surrounded it she herself watered and tended the flowers, fruit, and vegetables for their table. All this was thought to be very healthy and wholesome occupation for little Wilhelmina, who, like many an old man's child, was very frail and delicate in her tender years. Her mother and the Court physicians insisted upon not treating her as a hothouse plant, shut up indoors, and the result of country life, fresh air every day, early hours, and simple habits is that now she is perfectly healthy and strong. To return to the dolls, however. The little fingers were taught to cut out and sew their dresses and other apparel, and they became her constant com- panions even when she travelled with her mother. On one, of her first visits to Germany, the dolls of course accompanying, Queen Wilhelmiaa insisted upon their having a special valise for their dresses and paraphernalia, because, as she said, it would be so uncomfortable for them to arrive at their hotel in the evening, tired out after a long journey, and find themselves utterly devoid of necessary comforts. So she herself packed their night-gear and toilet articles, and during the whole journey took charge of the valise herself, refusing to trust it in anyone else's care. The children's parties in the winter invariably con- cluded with a snowball bombardment—a form of amusement somewhat resembling the confetti at the French and Italian carnivals. The snowballs are made of very thin tissue-paper filled with tiny atoms of the same, which on the bursting of the ball as it is thrown in the air fall lightly like real snowflakes in showers upon the children. Que day, soon.after she became Queen the child mocked at her mother's door, and on being asked Who is there ?" replied imperiously, The g Queen for a'visil," T^-Tth" a~b^tter^mpre^i^Jft Probably Return before> for her favourite our climate than sme English governess, the map, to represent our fogs.
