HINTS ABOUT NAPERY.

Six DAMAsK tablecloths, with nap
kins to match, are a sufficient supply for
ordinary use, as q set of napkins may
be allowed to two tablecloths, if the
family is small.
A PRETTY idea for room where the
colors will harmonic is to have the
buffet cloth, table center, tray cloth
and carver's cloth all of pale pink or
ecru linen, embroidered with white.
BUFFET cloths, which are included in
the list of table linen, are usually made
of plain linen, hemstitched and dec
GRATED with any kind of embroidery
that will stand washing.
AN economical houselSeepcr who has
some fine damask tablecloths that are
beginning to wear out may convert
them into tray cloths by cutting out
the best parts, hemming them and fin
ishing with torchon lace.
THE unbleached will prove much
more durable, as the chemicals used to
whiten the damask injure it in some
degree The faint yellow tint of this
fax is not Objectionable, and very
few visits to the laundry will bleach It
snowy white.
TRAY cloths and carvers' cloth not
only look well on the table, but are
genuine saving in the wear and tear of
frequent washings, as they catch many

HORSE FLESH AS HUMAN FOOD.
1t IL Fact In Chicago and Eaten Largely
In Europe.


Now thai the consumption of horse
flesh as food is an accomplished fact in
Chicago it Is not uninteresting TO in
quire into the methods of its introduce
tion as substitute for beef and other
meats in Paris, where it is more gem
orally used than elsewhere.
1t Is well known to visitors in the
gay capital that brokcn-down steeds
are openly sold at the horse market on
the boulevard d'Italie and slaughtered
at the shambles near by.
The animals are uniformly in good
condition, fat and sleek, and are main
ly horses that have been disabled in
feet and legs and are always examined
and passed by the health inspector be-
fore permit for slaughter is given.
When killed these carcasscs are ex-
posed for sale covered with an immac-
ulate white cloth, to be purchased for
certain eating-houses termed "Restau-
rants Hippophagi," wherein var ious
toothsome dishes are prepared and
consumed without any concealment
being made as to the nature of the
meat served. The patrons of these res
taurants contend, however, that the
horses near relative, the donke y, makes
more tender and far less stringy
steak than the tanks of the former
animal.
cordon-bleu annually regales the
habitues of the Grand hotel with q
"hippophagi dinner" somewhat after
the manner of the game dinnsrs made
historic by John Drake at our own
Grand Pacific hotel.
AT this yearly feast the gourmet may
order his donkey or pony flesh prepared
III "bif-tek," fricassee, boiled, broiled
or a-la-mode, as appetite dictates, GER
tain of having his taste catered to in
the best style of French culinary art.
But the sentimentalist who would
fain partake of this feast must refrain
from visiting the shambles near Boule-
yard d'Italie, else his sensibilities will
receive the rudest of shocks, for the
butchery of the horse is truly the most
pitiable of spectacles.
The poor superannuated or wounded
steed led forth to meet his death seems
to realize impending doom. lie trem-
bles in every limb, utters cries of fright
that sound almost human as he turns
his head looking from right to left ap-
pealing for liberty, in marked contrast

his fate with stupid unconcern that
seems to brand him as fulfilling tbs
purpose for which nature intende

White tablecloths should always have

need be washed instead of the entire

PARIS SUICIDES.
Heat Drives Many Frenchmcn to Take

Their Lives.
1t has been noted that the tendency

or cold. The hot spell referred to in
recent letter has produced large
crop OF suicides, seven having been re-
ported to the police in one morning.
Some Of the suicides seem to have
been modelled on those one reads
Of in sensational novels. In these
tragedies there are always two
young persons, sentimental girl
and an amorous lad, who want
to marry, but being unable to obtain
their parents consent to the match,
asphyxiate or shoot themselves These
dramas are so utterly commonplace as
to be unworthy of recor d. but the FIRE
quency with which they are enacted
in Paris shows that there must be
some permanent reason for their con.
tinual recurrence.
There is an instance in point in the
case of Henri Mourion and Emile
Stolz, both under twenty Well primed
with sensational fiction, they rushed
into each others arms and swore tc
die together rather than live apart, she
with her mother and he with his own
relatives. They shut themselves up
in room, kindled the inevitable char
coal stove and laid down to die. Sud.
denly Henri rose, said that Emile
was too beautiful to vanish from earth,
and offered to open the door for her.
Then lie fell senseless on the floor, and
the girl, thinking that her Henri had
died of true love and charcoal fumes
combined, made desperate effort ia
stab herself in the heart Neighbors,
hearing the groans, opened the door,
and the lovers were taken out of the
room more dead than alive. The
young people had been in one of the
parks all afternoon, and the doctors
think the heat was largely responsible
for their attempt at self-destruction.-

Barbarous Treatment of n Song Bird by

Barbarous Treatment of n Song Bird by
the Scrappie Eaters.
Philadelphia is the only city in the
world where the reed bird can be
found in state of overrunning obesi-
ty, and the only place where it can be
cooked to perfection. In New York
the French cooks conceal its delicate
toothsomeness in rich dressing. There
they know as little about reed birds
as they do about terrapin, scrapple
and pepper-pot. Recently there was
given in this city dinner in which
reed birds were served in thirteen diff
ferent forms. Among the courses were
soup made from reed birds, reed birds
stuffed with Blue Point oysters, reed
birds placed inside of followed
potato and roasted, reed birds stuffed
with herb filling and baked, reed
birds stewed with fresh mush-
rooms, reed birds split and broiled-
an abominable practice, by the way;
reed birds saute, and seeming pie,
from which, when the crust was lifted,
two dozen reed birds flew forth and
around the room.
But after all, there is only one way
to cook and eat succulent reedies-
saute! Select birds which have little
clumps of yellow fat on both sides OF
the part last over the fence. Place
them in a saucepan-or, better still, a

heads must not be removed. Cook
them for five ormsix minutes, ac-
