Splrsher-The Maids of
Honor Tart.


There is generally scientific reason
back of all household dictum, and a
little knowledge of the laws of chem
lstry is great help to a bright woman.
who can guide her methods thereby.
In so simple matter as boiling
clothes on the weekly wash day. it is
well to know that the purpose is not
to cook the linen-only to so expand the
pores of The fabric by heat and thus
allow certain sorts of dirt to drop out.
This is accomplished with half an
hour of boiling, and nothing whatever
Is accomplished by longer stewing.
Moreover, there is assistance to be
rendered the process if the laundress
will frequently turn the clothes with
a round stick. This not only prevents
scorching against hot surface, hut
helps the falling out of the loosened
dirt, Care is needed lest the stick
should tear the clothes.
When the hot clothes are turned Out
of the boiler they should be instantly
plunged into very cold, clear water
This contracts the fabric and drops
out more of the loosened dirt.
OF course the water in the boiler must
be fresh for each supply of clothes

The Maids of Honor Tart.

Those of us who have been to Rich
mond, London, remember a certain lit
tie pastry shop where it is de rigueur
to stop and eat a sort of tart known
as maids of honor. The name, we are
told, was given because in the palmy
days of Richmond, when the king and
court dined there, there real maid of
honor dotted upon this dainty.
Here is a recipe, dating back to
those days, telling us how to make
the lemon filling for the tarts. the
crust being merely light paste such
as you can make at home or order of
the nearest confectioner.
Try this for the filling:
Half pound of white sugar, two
ounces of good fresh butter, three
yolks of eggs and the grated rind and
juice of two small lemons. Put the
above ingredients in a faripa boiler
over pot of boiling water and stir it
over a slow fire until it becomes as
thick as good double cream. Pound
one ounce of sweet almonds and stir
them into the mixture. Fill pastry
cases and bake them till the pastry is
cooked.-Philadelph Ledger.

PARTY Ftnery For LittIe Girl.,


Party frocks are almost as necessary
an adjunct to the little girls wardrobe
in this progressive age as they are to
her grown up sister. For the real
short frocked tots white, pearl, pink
or blue slippers and stockings are usu-
ally favored, depending upon the color
of the dress worn. Silks in plain or
open weave look better than Isle or
cotton. as they fit closer and are, as a
rule, in better coloring, and then they
look well as long as they last, where
as the others fade. Girls who have
come into their teens may also wear
white and light colored shoes and
stockings, though growing girls with
large feet wear plain black French kid
or patent leather Sashes are much
worn and may be of ribbon or chiffon,
as best suits the gown. Some tie in a
severe bow at the back and have long
ends, while others knot at the side
and have ends finished with knotted
fringe. If hair ribbons are worn, they
match the sash or the stockings. A
pretty fancy for the hair is the wear
ing of flowers instead of the old time
ribbon.-Mary Katharine Howard In
Woman's Home Companion.

The following story of cat is vouch-
ed for by no less parsonage than an
archbishop. He says: "a cat lived for
many years in my mothers family.
and Its feats of sagacity were witness
ed by her, my sisters and myself. 1t
was known not merely once or twice,
but habitually, to ring the parlor bell
whenever it wished the door to be
opened. Some alarm was excited on
the first occasion that 1t turned bell
ringer. The family had retired to rest.
and in the middle Of the night the par
lor bell was rung violently. The sleep
ers were startled from their repose and
proceeded down stairs, with pokers
and tongs, to interrupt, as they
thought, the predatory movements of
some burglar. but they were agreeably
surprised to discover that the bell had
been rung by pussy, who repeated the
act whenever she wanted to get out of
the parlOr."

HuMoR or THE HOUR.

These gloomy days" said an old cit
izen, recall a gloomy day when was
a boy and went fishing in famous
creek not far from my home. 1t was
a we'll stocked creek. There were bass
in it and sinners as big as mans
hand and quite lot of whitefish that
would run pound or a pound and a
half perhaps.
Il got out my tackle on this particu-
lar gloomy day and went down to the
creek 1t was a muggy day, and a
warm rain fell from time to time in
light showers. found my favorite
pool and set to work BY George,
never had such luclll 1t seemed as if
those fish were waiting in shoals to
seize my hook. yanked them up as
fast as | could bait my hook and throw
in, and they came out so fast that,
couldn't spare the time to string them.
! looked around Some eight or ten
feet from the stream was quite a good
sized round hole full of water. A
heavy rain the night before had filed
it up, and it must have contained a
couple of pals. A happy thought
prompted me TO toss my captured fish
into this receptacle fished and fished
until | was actually tired of the sport,
and then as it came on to rain harder
thought would quit and tote home
the the biggest catch of the season.
Il rolled up the line on the pole and
drew from my pocket the stringing
string. Then went to my little pool
of captives, and,S by George. there
wasn't fish in it! No, sir, not one!
You see. it was a muskrat's hole,
and there was a tunnel reaching from
it to the creek, and every fish | caught
had wriggled through this opening
back to his native lair.
There was no help for it. stared
at the hole, and l stared back at the
creek, and then as the rain began to
come down harder reluctantly turned
away and trudged home, a wiser
though a sadder boy" = Cleveland

The Boer Flag.

The national flag is very little known.
1t is not even familiar to those artists
who are responsible for many of the
war maps now appearing in our daily
newspapers. The standard under which
the Beers are now fighting is exactly
that of Holland-bars red, white and
blue-with the exception of an addi-
ton of an upright green bar where the
flag is Joined to the staff. The flag of
the Orange Free State also betrays it's
Dutch origin, for in the corner where
the union jack figures in the English
ensign appears the Hollanders' tricol-
or on a field of white and orange bars.
This flag is unique, for it is said to be
the only one in the world in which or
ange appears as color.-Sketch.

Anecdotes Of dogs are innumerable
An entertaining one tells of farmer
who, having sold flock Of sheep to a
dealer, lent him his dog to drive them
home, distance of 80 miles, desiring
him to give the dog meal at the jour
ney's end and tell 1t to go home. The
drover found the dog so useful that he
determined to steal it, and instead Of
sending It back he locked it up. The
collie grew sulky and at last effected
its escape. Evidently deeming the
drover had no more right to detain the
sheep than he had to detain itself, the

Hand Painted WINDOW shades,

than the one Beatrix has just sent me
from Vienna" writes Edith Lawrence
in Ladies' Home Journal. "She writes
she had just returned from paying a
weeks visit to a Viennese woman
whose house is furnished in most eX-
quisite taste. Among some of the love
ly things was a set of window shades
in her bedroom which were painted.
The shades were white holland and
had heavy knotted fringe. Painted
on the inside of each one was wreath
of shaded roses, very thick at the bot
tom and tapering off to fine vinelike
effect, which extended all the way to
the top of the shade"

Lake Carriers Given Until Noon to Yield
Two Thousand Strikers Feel Sufficiently
Strong to Force Accession TO Their De-

Handlers Give Their Ultimatum.

BUFFALO, May Sat noon today,
unless the grain shovelers win their
fight against the contractors, all union
men employed along the docks in this
city will quit work. That will include
the coal beavers, tallymen. stationary
engineers, firemen and all other men
employed in the elevators, freight
houses and other establishments on the
docks. About 1850 men will be af-
fected by this move in addition to the
100 grain shovelers already on strike.
Henry @. Barter Of Detroit, secretary
of the executive board Of the Interna.
tional Longshoremen' s association, who
is in the city, has called meeting Of
the board for tomorrow and an endeav-
OF will be made by them to bring
about . settlement of the present
trouble. Should the effort prove a
failure, it is possible that all the long
shoremen employed on the docks in the
great lake cities may be called upon to
quit work. Yesterday the situation
was further complicated by the refusal
of some 700 freight handlers to go to
work under Contractor Connors The
men say that they are not striking out
of sympathy for the grain shovelers,
but in order to get rid Of the middle
men or contractors and secure an ad.
vance Of wages from 25 to 35 cents an
hour.
The work Of unloading the big feet
OF grain carriers now in port is proceed
ing slowly. There are between 80 and
40 boats i'll tae harbcr waiting to be un-
loaded.
The action Of the Lake Carriers asso-
citation in notifying Contractor Conners
that they would support him in his
fight has given considerable strength to
the contractors.
So far the efforts of the state board Of
arbitration to bring about settlement
of the trouble has proved fruitless.
