Outer Coverings of Reds.

For the outer covering of beds there
are all sorts of pretty and novel things
in white and colors. Possibly the
handsomest are those Of heavy linen,
embroidered in white by hand Some
of the more elaborate have the whole
centre embroidered, and a broad EN-
broidered border outlined with drawn
work and n wide hem finished with
row Of drawn work ct the head. On
brass beds these quilts take the place
of the valence, hanging down on all
sides. The monogram frequently an
pears at one side of the embroidered
centre. The durable Marseilles quilts
come both plain woven and embroid-
cred, in white or in colors
The fancy for embroidery also ex-
tends to the finish of sheets and pillow
cases. "Shams" are still much used.
though many housekeepers prefer
cases into which the pillows are but
toned. These are large and square.
They are laid aside at night, however.
in favor Of smaller pillows with plain
er covers. Monograms or initials for
sheets are two or three inches high
and worked in the centre just about
the hem. For pillow cases the letters
are smaller.

Sandwiches made of lemon butter
are delicious and are not Mt all diih-
cult to make. Take two ounces of
butter and n quarter of a pound OF
sugar and put them in a saucepan.
Add the juice of three lemons and
the grated rind of enc, and simmer
gently until the mixture is well
blended. Now add the beaten yolks
oil the eggs, but do not allow the mix
ture TO boil after the yolks have been
added or they will curdle. Stir CON
stantly until the mixture has become
well thickened; then add the whites
of the eggs. They should not be beat
en- too light or the butter will be
flaky. Stir constantly until smooth
and yellow. Be sure to use saucepan
large enough, for when the whites
are added the mixture increases in
quantity very greatly.

Our own Congressional Record must

is not to be surpassed by the parlia-

of the session Of the Australian parlia-

I'LL $50 closely printed pages, and as
the Australians have not learned the
trick Of leave to print" this means
that every word in those $50 pages

The Klondike is already feeling the
evil effects of forest denudation. Since
the discovery Of gold there the sparse
ly timbered hills of the district have
been stripped of all tree growth to
fill the extraordinary demands for
fuel in mining operations and other
purposes. The hills for many miles
around all of the productive creeks are
now bare, and the ground being thus
exposed the snow accumulated during
the winter quickly mclts in the early
summer. This year there has been an
early and prolonged drought in con-
sequence and the prospective output
of gold has been reduced from $780,
100000, the original estimates, to S2O,-
100000, because of the lack of water
to wash the auriferous earth.

THEY WANT MORE PAY.
Union Timers of This City Ask an Increase
OF the Contractors

The contracting timers and plumbers
nave received an official letter from the
local union asking an increase in the
wages of the journeymen timers.
1t is not known whether their request
will be compiled with or not. The con-
think the matter over.
The minimum price paid now is s225
per day. The timers demand $3.50 as
the minimum 1t is claimed by the Jour
neymen that the cost of living mas great
ally increased recently and that they
should receive better wages
One OF the contractors said to-day: "I
don't see how we can grant the increase
asked for at this time. Long ago I
contracted for work on several houses.
Since then the great steel strike has oc-
Cured and the cost of material has gone
up. will lose money on my contracts"
All the contractors will probably meet
action.
Mills &. CO.. among the largest employers
of journeymen in the city. said last night:
I'VE think the demands made by the
union are just and reasonable and favor
complying with the request. In fact our
firm is paying now practically what is
asked of us.
There are few brick-layers on strike.
They claim that they ought to receive
higher wages. as the prices of the nee
essities of life advance. Brick-iayers are
in great demand and those who have quit
work think they viii be granted che IN
crease asked for.

Postmaster knight issued an ORDER yes
terday morning increasing the hours OF
the clerks in the mailing department. from
