Opera Caramels.

Take four cups of granulated sugar,
enough milk just to dissolve 1t, and a
small half teaspoonful of cream Of
tartar; put over slow fire, stirring 1t
continually, and let it boil until the
spoonful dropped in cold water has
the consistency Of soft putty. Pour
into a large shallow pan and set in a
cold place until an indentation made
with your finger remains, then stir or
beat until creamy white dough re-
suits (Which ought to be in about ten
minutes If properly cooked). Spread
a little pulverized sugar on a bake
board to prevent sticking. Knead the
dough into compact mass and roll
out to the thickness Of about a half
inch, then cut in caramel sized
squares. Vanilla flavor may be added
just before removing the candy from
the fire or kneaded into the dough.
Substituting cream for the milk in
creases the richness as well as i'm

SILK EMBROIDERY.

Bohemian work in silk embroidery
Is a distinct form OF the art being al
ways stamped In a conventional Bo-
hemian design and wrought in the DO
hemian colors, green and gold.
The designs are of two kinds, In the
light little sprays with dots and grace
full scrolls such as are seen In the deco
rations on Bohemian glass and the
heavier scrolls and figures which are
also distinctly Bohemian In character.
The lighter styles in design are used
on small doilies and fancy pieces for
stands and dressing tables. In work.
Ing these use Montauk number 1902 and
carefully fill each little figure first with
lengthwise stitches In white cotton or
the silk, then work them over and
over in close. even stitches, being
careful to put the needle down and
bring 1t up exactly on the line. The
little scrolls and dots should be worked
in Montauk number 703. Fill the dots
first and then work over them with a
single thread of number 703 in the
opposite direction from which they are
filed. Work the scrolls in outline
stitch.
The illustration gives design for
centerpiece In Bohemian embroidery.
1t is an especially effective and hand
some piece when finished.
Place two threads of number 1903 Mon
tauk in the needle and bring up in the
center Of figure marked in the illus
tration close to the line. Then put
your needle down on the line on the
right side close to the first stitch and
bring up just below the first stitch,
making buttonhole. Take the next
stitch on the left Of first in the same
manner, thus making a long close
feather stitch. Fill the space with this
stitch. Fill the spaces marked In

assertion that Bennington Is both an
idiot and fool.
Bennington reached Milwaukee with
his cargo on the very day that local
syndicate had succeeded In .cornering

1t is common report at the club that
the savage ferocity with which the
Milwaukee dealers clammored for Ben

ten cents head, fairly took away the
Idiots breath and gave him shock

From this spot fine view is afford

seen the group of the Rosengarten, al
ready mentioned, Of the Capucine
monk and the penitent girl. To get
a snapshot at these figures one must
be an expert climber, for here the rock
is almost perpendicular and 1t is diff
cult to secure foothold.
Hundreds OF other specimens of
freaks and whims OF nature are met
with here. There is the figure of the
Indian on the Rosengarten in strik-

good shepherd on the Laurensburg and
of Satan, the ruler Of Hades. in in

Though many linger in the valley

tourists who claim not to be in the
least superstltious. venture in these
parts after nightfall.

For years Higgins enjoyed the repu-
tation Of being the most chronic prac-
tical joker in the club. No one was
proof against his conspiracies. and
there were but few indeed who had
not, at one time or another, felt the
keen edge of trick that was directly
traceable to him.
Many of his fellow members looked
upon this trait Of Higgins as a mania
and his reformation or cure. whichever
you may prefer TO call 1t, although
sudden and dramatic, was none the
less welcome to his former victims.
Mabel Montgomery was the undoing
Of Higgins, and as the result Miss
Montgomery's name is written near
the top on the clubs roll Of honor.
1t was the witty Richards, believe.
who likened the young lady to mas
ter painting in heavy frame. A tall,
graceful girl. with large, deep blue
eyes, in whose liquod depths mis-

rivulets over an alabaster neck and
perfect shoulders, mouth that curves
upward slightly at the ends and seems
to be ever on the verge OF laughing,
teeth that-but why particularize? In
short, everything that is essential to
beautiful face and fgure-that is the
painting!
The only child of an indulgent
father, who spends his time in idoliz-
ing his daughter and vainly attempting
to compute his wealth as fast as it
accumulates-that constitutes the
frame, which completes a combination
which is hard for any ambitious man
to resist.
And Higgins was ambitious.
So, as a matter Of course, he fell in
love with Mabel MOntgomery-deeply
madly in love. During the earlier
stages Of his courtship, there were nu-
merous other suitors for Miss Mont
gomery's hand, but for some reason

Sunday In England.

England may be envied for its OBJ
servance of the day Of rest. There
is a refreshing relief from the Sun
day-morning newspapers, mails and
theaters. Railway traffic is suspended
in London during church-service
hours. The king and queen follow
we'll the excellent traditions of the
past, and not alone are religious GER
emonies reverently observed, but all
about their residences every class of
labor is either suspended or lessened
as much as possible.-Woman's Home

The French believe in the automo-

Vincennes, have addressed letter to
all the owners of automobiles, OF

their machines at the disposal of the

and to this day this reason Is an I'M
solved mystery to the club-the con-
test finally narrowed down to Higgins
and Bennington.
BY the club, Bennington's courtship
of Mabel Montgomery was treated as
q huge joke.
Higgins was shrewd business man
wealthy, handsome and polished.
Bennington, on the other hand. held
q clerk ship in department store, war
dependant upon his salary, awkward,
bashful and possessed of the antipodes
Of physical beauty.
The members Of the club, who
watched with interest every new de-
velopment In the seemingly uneven
contest for the hand Of the million
aires daughter. were convinced that
both Higgins and Bennington were
equally enraptured of her, but for
which of the twain she entertained the
more regard, was debatable question,
although the club, generally, held to

THAT FLOWER GARDEN.

The first thing to be decided in a
flower garden is the contour and size
of beds. Often this is predetermined
by the shape Of the lot; still, beds
should follow the curves of paths, as
plants rarely look we'll il grown in
straight lines. Curves are net always
possible to secure, and, after all, shape
is merely a question Of taste. Con-
slider the garden and lawn as whole,
trying with fine eye Of imagination to
see the garden In all its summer lux
uriance. An uninterrupted lawn vista
is one Of the beautiful things Of ma
ture; though if one desires brilliant
bit of color, to break 1t with bed of
golden-leaved saliva or one Of Nine.
Bruant geraL iums would be striking.
A decidedly tropical effect can be Sc
cured by using the bronze foliaged

Ear II one is fortunate enough to

berry bushes grouped near the edge
of the garden or lawn. here will be
the very nook for the fragrant lily-of-

Poppies and delicate larkspur all thrive
admirably among the hardy shrubs. In
planning borders, place tall-growing
varieties in the background; for this

the amaranthus may be used. The
double dahlia is particularly effective
used in this way.
AS soon as the ground can be worked
the soil must be spaded and turned,
that the spring sunshine may warm it
sufficiently before seed sowing.

Judging by the prompt indictment
and arraignment of the assassin of
Presiuent Mckinley in court at Buffalo,
yesterday, his trial is to be conducted
without the aggravating delays that
have long been feature of sensational
murder trials in New York. This is
we'll, for while all the forms OF law
should be respected. the oourse of
justice in this instance should not be
subjected to any Unnecessary delay.
1t is also probable that the scandslous
lack of dignity that marked the trial OF
the assassin of Garfield will not be per
mitted 10 the trial OF Czolgos1. Guiteau
was overwhelmed by passion for
notoriety, and was permitted, during
his trial, TO crafty that passion to an
unexampled extent. So great was the
liberty allowed him that at times his
conduct impaired an absolutely farcical
cone to the proceedings.
The assassin of President Mckinley
should have all the rights and priyi-
leges that the law allows him; no less
and no more. His trial should be con
Quoted with dignity and decoruin.
Likewise, the punishment that will be
his due should be visited UPON him
(, without delay. The sooner such oarrior
/, is disposed OF the better.

Immediately after taking the oath Of
osicc, Saturday afternoon, President
Roosevelt said: sin this hour of deep
and national bereavement, / wish to
state that it shall be my aim to con-
time absolutely unbroken the policy
of President Mckinley for the peace
and prosperity and honor of our beloved
country"
These are good words, and they will
do much to modify the distrust OF
Roosevelt naturally entertained by q
great many people.
With resfect to continuing the
policy of President Mckinley, il may
be assumed that President Roosevelt,
alluded to the policy of Mckinley fol
his second administration, and which
was outlined in bis speech at Buffal,
the day before he was shot In thai
speech President Mckinley spoke fol
peace. not war; for arbitration, moi
contention; for reciprocity, not restrio
tion in trade; for a generous, not /
sordid. business policy; he. said tina
''our interest Is in accord, not con
fiict, and our real eminence rests il
the victories OF peace, not those o
war;
Let President Roosevelt study care
fully the late Presidents last words
and continue the national policy thereil
defined.
