Tables and Table Linen.

It is the fashion to dispense with a
tablecloth at breakfast and luncheon,
when there is handsome polished
board, and to substitute in place Of it
thick mats, and for the tea or coffee
pot a thick blue and white tile. When
there is a large bouquet Of fresh
flowers or a jardinere of growing ferns
and plenty of dainty mats, breakfast
table fitted out in this way may be
very attractive. A plate dolly under
each plate worked in individual colors
and designs gives a characteristic fin
ish to the table. Doilies and mats IN
pure white, however, are preferred to
color in embroidery on the breakfast
table.
When the cloth is used, as it always
should be at dinner, a thick blanketiNg
of cotton flannel should be used under
it to deaden the noise, as well as to
protect from the heat Of hot dishes.
The table linen should be spotlessly
white. The table centre, which IS
placed under the jardinere of ferns
or cut flowers, is preferred in pure
white embroidery, laid over the sat-
my finished damask. The only color
used is that on the china.
A tablecloth may be kept spotless
for some time if these simple direc-
tions are followed. AS soon as d spot
is discovered, put the cloth over tiny
covered board kept for the purpose and
scrub it carefully with little brush,
using soap and warm water. If an
appearance given by removing the gloss
will not be apparent. 1t pays to buy
tablecloths with a well covered pat
tern. Such linen does not show marks
and wears better than table linen dis
playing much plain surface.-New
York Tribune.

I'm the course Of time peoples

Furnishing n Small Fla.

In furnishing a small fiat it is ad-
visable to avoid massive furniture as
much as possible, as it is inappropri-
ate and far from artistic. Marvellous
things are done with the aid of car
penter. little ingenuity and a few
pots of enamel paint. For instance,
as every one knows, round dining
room table is tax on ones pocket
book and is certainly too desirable to
be dispensed with. One can easily be
made of unpainted pine by carpea-
ter and painted in the new shade OF
forest green. or stained to initiate
Flemish oak, which will be quite as
pretty as one could buy, and the cost
will gladden. the heart. The legs must
of necessity be plain and unadorned,
but if the table is made very low the
effect is rather quaint than otherwise.
Hinged boxes, prim little seats and
sets of irregular book shelves can be
devised and treated in the same man
ner, and the effect produced by these
creations of ones brain and the car
penter's skill is far better than that
obtained by the regular products OF
furnishing house.-Good Housekeep-

BEST SPRING MEDICINE
The Palm Given to Or. Greena's
herYura.
That Grand Jury, the People, Have So
Decided.
Used by Hundreds of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.

Dr.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is indeed "The ucrld's Great
Spring Medicine. 1t has come to be
recognized by almost everybody as the
best possible spring medicine to take,
and hundreds Of thousands Of our
people use it during the trying spring
months, to tone up anew the relaxed
nerves and re-invigorate and enrich
the blood.
A spring medicine is a necessity if
one wishes to keep in perfect health
and vigor during the changes from
winter to summer. This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine, DR..
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is exacuy what the system
needs at this season. 1t not only
purifieS, but makes rich, red blood; it
not only strengthens and invigorates
the nervous system, but re-energizes
and revitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. 1t is not only an aid to diges-
ton, but it creates a regular, natural
and healthy action Of the bowels, liver,
kidneys, which in the spring are al
ways sluggish and inactive.
In fact, 1t is just what people need
to make them we'll and keep them we'll
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all, and wnen it is con-
sidered that Dr.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is made en-
tirely from pure, health-giving vege-
table remedies, and that people give
it more testimonial; of cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that 1t is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.

A Ert of Science for the Kitchen.

A good authority recommends the
following method of rejuvenating
IRE. When the kitchen fire is low and
a quick, sharp fire is wanted the aver
age woman rushes for the kerosene
can. The following less dangerous
method is offered: Purchase a pound
or so of crude salt petre (sodium or
potassium nitrate) and dissolve in
couple of quarts of hot water. Satur-
ate with this solution a bushel or so
of charcoal or coke, and set in the sun
or some warm place to get perfectly
dry, but do not heat it. You now have
a compound which is exceedingly
inflammable and capable Of producing
an intense heat. When only few red
Goals are to be seen if some OF this
prepared carbon is introduced vividly
glowing mass will Immediately be the
result. The ready infammability OF
charcoal treated with nitre makes it
somewhat dangerous to be sure, but
not nearly so much so as kerosene or
gasoline. A large quantity should not
be kept on hand at one time, and it
must not be placed where 1t will be
overheated.

GRASSES.
Department Of Agriculture Has Reeog.
nized Importance OF Crop.

niZed importance OF Crop.
There is no line Of work more in
timately connected with the agricul-
tural interests Of the country than
Investigations Of grasses and forage
plants.
Grasses are so common. growing ev-
erywhere in meadows and waste places,
upon hillsides and plains. covering the
bare places of the earth with their
myriad hosts Of individual plants, that
we are apt to forget their vast signifi-
canoe in the economy Of nature and
that they constitute the greatest of our
agricultural resources, and form the
very foundation upon which rests all
our agricultural wealth and prosperity.
According to estimates Of the Division
of Statistics, the hay crop Of 1895 alone
amounted to $4,000 900 tons, valued at
nearly $4,000, 100000, exceeding by a
third the total value of the wheat crop.
In addition to this vast quantity OF
hay, which would barely suffice to
carry through the year the 16,o00,o0c
milch COWS owned by the United
States, enough pasturage, fodder and
green forage were supplied to feed 37,-
00e, 900 sheep, 30,o0O.oo0 cattle. a.
Oo0,O horses and 1000 900 mules. A
conservative estimate places the total
annual value of the grass and forage
crops of this country at more than
81 600, ,0o0,0
Among the great nations Of the
world, ours has been the first to give
official recognition to the Importance
of these crops by establishing in tho
Department Of Agriculture a Division
of Agrostology, especially devoted to
working out grass problems.
During the past year 5000 trial pack
ages of seeds from collections made
by the division have been distributed,
more than 5000 grasses have been
identified for correspondents, and re-
plies to more than 900 inquirers, reia-
tive to the methods Of cultivation,
uses, and feeding value Of grasses,
have been prepared.-Arthur Henry in

Trapping condors an Industry

A novel way Of raising money Is that
employed by a number Of Italians in
the serranias OF Cordoba, who, accord
ing to the Buenos Ayres Standard,
have laid large traps for condors. The
business, it seems. is a lucrative one,
as over four thousand birds have been
killed in a year and the feathers ex-
ported to Europe, where they are in de-
mand for various purposes. Leaving
the money part aside, the benefit Of
this hunting company Is well appre-
ciated by the stock-keepers, whose
focks suffer greatly from the depreda-
tions of these huge birds.

RNTlcCSTrS FUTURE.
sand tho Greatest Lobster Producing
Fishery on tho Globe.

Menier's plans for developing his
recently purchased island Of Anticest1
are broad. They include the building
Of towns, the clearing Of land, the con-
struction Of roads and railways, the
building of deep seaport, and the de-
velopment Of the natural resources Oh
the island, such as agricultural prod
ucts, fisheries and paper pulp.
A fair start has been made. The ola
settlement of English Bay, which con-
sisted of a few scattered fshermen's
huts, is now the seat of authority on
the island. A regular town has been
laid out, with streets, plaza, sanitary
plumbing. school, and all that goes to
make up the modern community. The
hospital is a model Of its class, and is
supervised by a surgeon OF scientihc
attainments. The store IS thoroughly
equipped, carrying goods valued at
thirty thousand dollars.
There is a gymnasium and music
hall combined, and quarters for mar
ried and unmarried employees. On tho
outskirts of the town is a farm laid
out and managed on modern princi-
pies. It is officially designated as the
Central Farm, and from it are con-
trolled minor farms and cleartngs on
the island. The chief Of agriculture,
N. Picard. has had experience in vari-
Gus parts Of the world, having served
as an agricultural expert on the Congo
for the French Government.
1t is an important part OF Menier's
plan to surround himself with thor
oughly competent men. The scheme
of administration includes governor,
M. Comettant, who was born In New
York City, and various chiefs OF SER
vice, M. Landrieu is the chief ac-
countant, M. Jacquemart, French en-
gineer of note, is the chief OF public
works; NJ. Picard, chief Of agriculture;
DR.. Schmitt, surgeon-in-chief; Mr..
Doggett, chief Of fisheries; Captain Be-
LANCER, chief of marine service, and
Mr.. Gibsone, legal adviser.
Under these directors Of departments
are many skilled workmen and labor
ers, the whole making an admirably
organized force Menier is, Of course,
the absolute ruler, and associated with
him as a valued adviser is his friend.
NJ. Georges Martin-Zede, well-known
Partisan.
The improvements contemplated and
now under way include the building OF
a deep-sea port at Ellis Bay, the max
ing of roads, and the construction OF
important lobster canneries at Fox
Bay. The latter industry is one Of the
best on the island. Anticostf is con-
sidered the greatest lobster producing
fishery on earth. The immense for
ests of spruce on the island will be
utilized in the near future, Menler's
intention being to erect large pulp
factory, and to export the product to
England, France and the United
States.
The winning of such an enormous
territory from desolation and it's con-
version into a productive centre, VITA
all that such a consummation 1eans
for civilization, is worth the efforts Of
any man.
1t is the act of benefsctor.-H. H.
Lewis in Ainslee's.
