A Pretty Table-Mat.

Pretty, inexpensive mats to protect
the table from hot dishes may be made
from thin board, some linen, muslin
or silk, or any desirable material, and
some lace. Get thin, smooth board,
such as dress goods are wrapped
around and cut it to the size preferred.
Cut the linen the same size allowing for
a seam. The upper piece to cover the
board may be hem-stitched or other
wise ornamented. For the under side
a plain machine sewn hem will suffice.
Now sew the upper and lower pieces
together, leaving one end open, into
which the board DIETER painted white)
is slipped Pretty linen or other lace
should be sewn on where the two
pieces are Joined. The lace may be
put on plain except for little fullness
at the corners. These mats are much
better than crocheted ones, as the heat
cannot possibly penetrate through
them, and when the covers are soiled,
the boards may be slipped out and the
covers washed. Though fashion has
decreed that table-mats shall no longer
be used, many housewives who value
their taple-tops refuse to discard them.

WINES OF FRANCE and THEIR MAKING NOWADAYS.

1t seems that this Spanish wine has
come to stay in France because of its
strength in alcohol. When the French
growers send their mild juice to the
wholesale dealer he tells them: your
wine is not drinkable according to
the modern taste. We must fortify it
with Spanish wine" The French grow
er might truthfully answer: your
real reason for fortifying our Juice IL
that it helps your trade combinations.
You can have Spanish wine brought
you to Paris by water for half tho
price which our wines cost you by

by Her Own Hand.
OF late Detective Bleakley has beeU
reading about Sherlock Holmes and
has picked up many valuable tips. one
Of which was recently Of great use
to him. says the Hamilton Spectator.
Last week young woman. who is en-
ployed in an uptown hotel, lost her
gold watch and reported to the de-
tective department. Inspector Nc
Mahon lined up his men in front Of
him. questioned them on ways and
means of recovering the stolen prop
erty, and then allotted the task Of
finding the missing timepiece to Bleak
ley. The officer went to the hotel, sized
up the situation and looked over the
employees. 1t did not take him long
to select the young lady whom he
thought knew most about the where
abouts of the watch. The detective
has an eye for beauty, and this par
ticular young lady was both young and
beautiful, and had previously borne
good character. This made the Of
ficer's task even more difficult, and
he left the hotel, feeling sad at heart.
The more he thought over the case
the more convinced he became that
the young woman he suspected knew
something, and while trying to go to
sleep Sunday night he decided that
he would interview her the next day.
When he got to the Office on Monday
morning Bleakley found note walt
ing for him, informing him that the
watch had been returned by mail.
This, however, did not satisfy him,
and he determined to bring the thief
to justice. He went over to the hotel
yesterday afternoon, secured the pa
per which the watch had been wrap
ped in and on which was written lne
name and address of the owner, and
then proceeded to interview his sus-
pect. OF course she protested her il
nocence, but to make her statement
stronger the detective suggested that
she sign declaration of her inno-
cence The girl bit easily; the detec-
tive procured note book, and the
girl wrote: Il - -, do solemniy
declare that l did not see or touch
Miss - watch. (Signed) -
After that the detectives work was
easy. He compared the writing of the
young lady with that on the paper,
which was on the watch when it was
returned. They were exactly the same,
and the guilt was fastened upon the
pretty domestic.

Incidents in the Early Career Of

Indiana.

The northern Indiana friends Of the

Indiana admirers of Gen. Lawton were

while at Fort Wayne he was presented
with q handsome sword.
Gen. Lawton got his first instruction
In military tactics In q Fort Wayne

Awakes. There were rival clubs In the
town, and that to which Lawton be-

volunteer fremsn OF the town were
members.
