FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
h China Closet.

EFN Nsa
Perhaps the most important part Of a
dining room is the china closet. On the
arrangement of the dishes within 1t de-
ponds a great deal of the artistic effect
that should give charm to the room.
The inner woodwork, excepting the
shelves, should be tinted to match the
wood finish Of the dining room and var
nished. For covering the shelves butch
er's linen is perhaps the best fabric and
should extend not more than a half
inch below the edge Of the shelf. A
line of drawn work or narrow scallops
In buttonhole stitch may finish the
edge. A soft pad should be put under
the linen cover to lessen the danger OF
breaking from a slip or jar.
When the shelves are sufficiently far
apart, 1t is well to put screw hooks into
the underside on which to hang cups,
punch glasses and small cream pitch
ers. These should be placed with due
regard to harmony of color and form.
The saucers may be hung at the back
In wire china racks or may stand in
piles in the corners, says the New York
Tribune.
Heavy pieces Of cut glass, such as
punch bowls and salad bowls, should
be put on the lowest shelf for security.
Lighter pieces may go on the top shelf.
No matter how crowded the closet may
be nothing should ever be placed inside
q piece of cut glass. If necessary to
economic space, the better way is to
put the small article first on the shelf
and inyert the larger over 1t. The up
per piece must rest absolutely on its
own margin without pressure on any
part of the lower dish. An occasional
bit of colored glass gives a pretty vari-
ETY. to the arrangement.
In placing large platters narrow
strips Of wood should be tackled on the
shelves unless they have the proper
safety grooves to keep them from slip
ping.

Hamburger steak.

rEE hI
Hamburger steak is a wholesome
meat dish that is quite unknown to
many homes where its cheapness
ought to appeal. A supply for six per-
sons can be obtained for about Is
cents. 1t can be purchased in the nee
essary chopped condition or bought in
bulk and minced at home. 1t is the
cheap portion Of meat which contains
as much nutriment as the choicer
parts and more than some of them.
One pound chopped and seasoned with
salt, pepper and a few drops of onion
Juice and a little finely chopped parsley
is enough for the family. 1t should be
shaped In small, fat cakes, not too
compact, and cooked on a creased broil-
er or In an omelet pan. They may be
spread with butter or served with
maitre d'hotel sauce made by rubbing
half a cupful Of butter In a bowl until
1t creams. then adding a t~easpoonful
of salt. half a t~easpoonful Of pepper,
two tablespoonfuls Of chopped parsley
and the juice Of q lemon. When thor
oughly mixed. add a custard made by
boiling SUFFICIENT white stock and then
stirring In two we'll beaten eggs. The
entire mixture should boil for three
minutes, stirring all the fime. The

CHALLENGER BEATS OLDER
BOAT BUT A TRIFLE.
A So MILE COURSE
The New Boat at No Time Was
Over Eleven Minutes Ahead
Of the Old.

Rothesay, July 1.-THE final rae
ing trial of the two Shamrocks to-
day was over a sc mile course from
Craigmore to Skelmorlie, thence to
Tomont End Off Largs and back to
starting point. This course was sail
ed twice over. A strong westerly
wind of from Is to IA knots was blow
ing. The challenger had the best of
the manavouring for position and led
Shamrock / over the line by about
three lengths.
The run to Skelmorlie was dead
down to wind and the challenger, rap
idly increasing her lead, rounded the
first mark at Skelmoria 1857 ahead
of Shamrock 1. On the broad easy
stretch to Tomont End the challenger
increased her lead until she was two
and one-half minutes ahead, when
she encountered softer wind and the
ex-challenger closed up. Turning the
Erin off Tomont End, Shamrock II
was DuC OuS uluuI0 duu II S0COuQS
ahead.
The boats could have fetched home
from this point but in order to give
a turn to windward, Erin steamed
away and laid a new mark off Mount
Sterling. The yachts then beat
across the firth on short tacks, the
challenger gaining on every board.
After a four mile beat the boats
rounded Erin, Shamrock II two min
utes and 20 seconds ahead of the old
er boat.
Reaching ten miles up the channel
the challenger outsailed the older
boat and at the timing at the turn at
Inverkep bay, showed a difference of
nine minutes in favor of Shamrock
II.
The boats then reached for Largs
in which Shamrock II was still nine
minutes ahead of the old challenger.
During the run home from Largs,
Shamrock l experienced a big fluke
and closed up her distance, finishing
one and one-half minutes astern OF
Shamrock II.

Que TO AMERICA

Woman Spy Arrested.

London, July 15-An official dis
patch to the war Office announces the
arrival at Pretoria Of Mrs. Schalk-
burger, wife of the we'll known Boer
commander, captured a few days ago
near Waterfall. She is under arrest
as a spy and the fact that she was
taken to Pretoria SO speedily is
thought to be an indication that she
carried important dispatches through
the British lines. She is the first
uni spy of prominence to appear
in the Boer war.

MYSTERIOUS AS EVER
Charge Of Forgery in Glenn Case
Lost Sight Of in Effort to
Establish Identity.

Parkersburg, w. Va, July 13-The
Glenn case was resumed today with
Ernie Byers on the stand. He room
ed with Bert Glenn all the time he
lived in Williamson. He said he
never knew Glenn vas not a man. He
had visited gambling dens, saloons
and other places with Glenn many
times and Glenn always. acted as, a
man would. Several important wit
nesses were examined for the state
and they all declared the prisoner
was Bert Glenn.
The question that the public is
now interested in is whether or not
the defendant has false teeth. Every
witness today said she had and no
body but the lawyers for the defense
and Ellis Glenn can state otherwise
and this they have not done.
A suit for $50, 900 damages has been
filed in the United States circuit court
by Ellis Glenn against William Rich
ardson and jules Richardson, his
son, for the alleged kidnapping Of the
prisoner at Litchfield, Ills, last year.
Parkersburg, July 15-Another day
of the Ellis Glenn case was concluded
this afternoon and the is still
as mysterious as ever. The main evil
dence today was given by witnesses
who testified that the prisoner drank
whiskey with them and visited gamb-
ling houses as Bert Glenn. The state
asked to be allowed to examine the
prisoners head to determine whether
threre was a scar there, but the Judge
would not allow it.
The charge Of forgery has been lost
sight of in the effort to prove the
identity of the prisoner.
The trial may last many days yet.
Attorneys for Ellis Glenn had a con-
ference and discussed habeas corpus
proceedings, which were dismissed
in the United States courts last win
ter. This would stop the trial in the
criminal court, just where it is, until
the writ of habeas corpus could be
heard.

soil For the Plants.

Depth Of soil is the first essential to
success in growing roses, says an au-
thority. The roots should have room
enough.to absorb the required food and
moisture. Soil that contains consider
able clay Is best. but it should be we'll
loosened. Good drainage is sometimes
obtained by removing the soil to a depth
Of three feet, filling about half tue
space with stones, broken crockery or
brick. and then replacing the soil. The
drainage materials are too far below
the roots to draw OF moisture needed
by the plant. while they allow ample
drainage for surplus water.
