challenge brought reply from B. f.
Clay of Fernwood, who offered in evil
dence wonderful display of his work.
Mr.. Clay is rs years old and a ma
chinist by trade. In the illustrations
given here are shown two varieties OF
chains each of which he cut out Of one
piece Of wood.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Clay started
to white, after seeing an exhibition
Of whiting in Barnum's museum. He
has completed single, double, triple.
quadruple and anchor chains. One
chain is composed of links. within
each OF which there are eight other
movable links. A walnut triple chain
Is marked with ornamental bits,
including revolving globe on fixed
axis, all cut out of one stick OF wood.
The five-sided link, or anchor chain,
shown is of cedar The idea was taken
by Mr.. Clay from watch chain. An
other section of this chain is the eight
link production referred to above. with
fancy bit forming a pentagon, the
hollowed-out inside containing a dou-
BILE loop knot made of the sticks core.
A chain made Of links, each con-
tanning six links, is Of the twist va
riety and lays fiat. Mr.. Clay has made
many articles besides chains, such as
tweezers, pineers and furniture sets,
but he has made speciality of chains
and believes that in that line he stands
foremost. 2,., 50

though somewhat damaged, was re-
covered and taken back to Manila.
Then the Romulus was chartered and
equipped with the recovered parapher-
MALTA and at the. present time NEARLY
every island in the group is connected
with Manila by submarine cables.
1t is now just a matter. of time be-
fore an American cable will span from
the Philippines to some point on the
coast of China and Japan. The same
Eastern Extension company now
charges rs cents per word for messages
from Manila to Hongkong, about three
times the rate from the United States
to Europe.

sbadowy in those singular dwellings.
where the master Of the house plays
the role Of jailer. and behind those
barred windows and closed doors lie
the two secrets of this strange country
women, and native wealth" .
The palanquins upon camels' backs
for women. are made of branches bent
by the heat Of fire, and covered with
colored cloths, partly to protect from
the heat of the sun, and partly to
prevent the inmate from being seen.
The camel is most stately
creature, and 1t is difficult to
know what the Arab would do,
without this great burden-bearer. The
ordinary camel costs from $50 to $50.
1t can carry 600 pounds. This is just.
the beast OF burden. But there is an
other kind of camel called the mehari.
which is very swift of foot and can
do from 1875 to- 100 miles in. a: single
stage. The value of these ID about 5000.
apiece.
The chief Occupation of'aArabs,, to;
the casual visitor, seems to be that OF
drinking coffee. Cafes are as numer-
uos as barrooms in Chicago, and there.
for the fraction Of cent, the Arab has
all the benefits OF club. Each .per-
ti6n .of coffee is boiled in little. tin
saucepan with long handle-justs
large enough to contain one pbirti6h.'
At night especiallythe cafes are crowd
ed to excess. Some OF the poorer
Arabs sleep in the cafes all night, just.
where they have been sitting all the.
evening. Such a liberty is included In
the price Of coffee. 1888 {
Across the great Sahara, vast and
limitless as it seems, there are we'll
known tracts leading from oasis !, to
oasis, and though sand storms obliter-
ate them the Arab easily finds his !,
way. 1t is a striking sight to meet a
caravan on the move. or single
Arab mounted on a fine horse and his
wife behind him, Fastening to his des-
ert home as the evening shadows fall.
Another striking sight in the desert,
and by no means uncommon, Is the
mirage-that wonderful optical illusion
which tells the eye that 1t can see
trees and water where neither exist.
The Arab life in the desert today Is
the same pastoral which has gone on
unchanged for thousands of years.
Everywhere one is reminded of the old
ratriarehs.

Cucumber Salad.

Peel three cucumbers, cut them
lengthwise, scoop out the centers, leav-
ing them about half an inch thick.
Place these boats in iceswater Reject
most Of the seeds from the remaindev
OF the cucumbers and mix with water
cress, celery dice, chopped chiyes anC
few capers. Add white mayonnaise
b the mixture and fill the boats,
which have been wiped dry; put ore
on each plate and sprinkle with
minced parsley. White mayonnaise is
made with. lemon juice instead OF
vinegar, and then before being used is
made very delicate by. having a table,
spoonful or so Of whipped cream added
to It.

ton whether the authority given him
In 1884 by the grand lodge of England
to establish lodge in Boston was
valid, inasmuch as acknowledgment
of the independence of the United
States had been conceded by England
two years before. Anyway, Prince Hall
did not have authority to establish a

LAYING THE TABLE.

When setting table for a meal,
whether it is to be plain or elaborate,
lay the knives forks and spoons in the
order required by the courses. Set
the first ten-inch plate, called the ser

For dinner which is to include, say,
oysters, consomme. meat, salad and
dessert, lay an oyster fork farthest
from the plate. then soup spoon,
knife. fork and coffee spoon. II the
dessert is a sherbet or jelly, lay each
one on the plate on which the last
course Is served.-Good Housekeeping.
