CHINESE SANDWICHES.
They Are Not Composed of What Conn
mon Prejudice Might Lead
One to Suppose.

Patrons of a certain restaurant in
this city frequently call for Chinese
sandwich and the order is not de-
layed.
The prejudiced might suppose that
n Chinese sandwich was made of-well,
never mind, it isn't.
1t doesn't seem quite clear why this
particular sandwich should be tagged
with a Mongolian label. In compo-
sition it is more Teutonic than oriental.
In short, it consists of two generous
slices of rye bread spread with finely
chopped raw meat.
That there should be demand for
such a sandwich is not surprising. Ger
mans have for long time relished raw
meat, even without the bread. Posi-
bly, the idea spread from Great Britain
and the continent, where the hospitals
have for years nourished certain pa
tients with raw beef and raw mutton.
The raw beef sandwich has also had
a place in the regimen of New York
hospitals for long time. The medi-
cal mems theory is that raw meat is
more nourishing and more easily di-
gested, and is especially adapted to
weak stomachs.

The WOMEN OF cEYLoN.
They Are Graceful, Have Musical
Voices and Are Adopts in the
Arts of the FousehOId

The dominant characteristics of
feminine beauty in CeyIon are, as
will be seen from our illustration,
softness of contour and delicacy of
feature. In both of these respects
the Cingalese belle has advantage
over the womenfo1ks of the more
nOrtherly races. All the lines of her
figure are more rounded. and there
is nothing of the stilted gait in her
walk which mars the pedestrian
gracefulness of Punjabi and Pathan
beauties. Her voice, too, is sweeter
and more musical; it is pretty to
hear Tamil mother singing lullabies
to her baby. AS regards natural in
teIligence, there is not much differ

And there, in the graveyard of Che
Mere, are among the many new graves
two side by side, with single cross
above them.
Never again in the days to come will
the island be its former beautiful
self. Such scars drive too deep. Time
may never change the awful, dreadful
memories about the land which once
smiled in plenty. Little children play
again about the vineyards, and other
youthful lovers whisper as they walk
hand in hand along the beach at twi-
light, but if spirits walk at the mystic
hour among the lonely graces in the
marshes and in the humble little
cemetery, then you will hear of that
dreadful night, when the angry waves
rode over the island and robbed it
and murdered it. Restfu1 spirits will
keep watch, and if the waves lash
again into fury, they will be softened
and hushed, and so instead will only
wash away bitter memories. The
peace of God is again upon the island,
and in song and story, Cheniere is
again the vine-clad' land of mirth and
plenty.
Once more the red-sailed Iuggers
ride around Cheniere Caminada.

wAsHTNe FIVE LAcEs.
It Is the Most delicate Task which
the Average woman Is Called
Upon to Perform.


There is 10 better rule to give for
having ones Iaces spotless than to
keep them always clean, and to be
more careful of them than of gold
and precious stones.
An earthenware slab is the first
thing needfuI. Sometimes there are
old platter trays which are perforat-
ed, or even, with small pieces, the ins
side of an earthenware butter dish
would do. Whatever is used first get
your slab. 1t should be, according
to rule, eight to ten inches square,
and pierced with small holes about an
inch apart. The next requirement is
piece of book muslin or bobbinet
large enough to cover the slab, and
tie securely in the back. To make this
possible, the material is hemmed all
around and double tape run through
the hem, by means of which it is
drawn up.
Next take the lace and fold it quite
small, place it on the slab and cover
it smoothly with the muslin or bob
binet; pull snugly over the lace and tie
it in the back. An earthenware tub,
or one of metal, should be used for
washing, and into this pour a gallon
of cold water, to which three ounces
of soap have been added. If it is pos
sib1e to allow the time, the lace should
soak in this water for IL hours. Be-
fore taking it out it must be washed
with the palm of the hand for at least
five minutes. Then it goes into tub
of perfectly clean water, and is washed
in the same way for two minutes.
RnIlInO tho T1nXf a
copper boiler should be used. A gall
Ion of water, in which four ounces Of
soap have been dissolved is poured
over this, and the lace is allowed to
boil for two hours at least. Again
the slab is placed in the tub, and over
it is poured a gallon of hot but not
boiling water, in which have been
dissolved two ounces of soap, the lace
being again washed with the palm Of
the hand as before.
Now take the lace from the slab
reverse it without unfolding, replace
on the slab, cover with the muslin, tie
tightly with the tapes at the back,
and wash at least five minutes with
the palm of the hand. Put again in
a tub of clean cold water and wash
it until it is quite free from soap.
If 1T is badly sOiIed it can be placed
in the sun instead of being left so long
boiling, and can remain until it is dry.
Starching laces seems a desecra-
ton, but here is the way to do it if
one must. To one ounce of starch add
two tablespoonfuls of cold water, and
when the starch is dissolved pour
over it one pint of boiling water. This
is for oval" lace, Cluny, Maltese and
old Devonshire. For Honiton, point
and antique 1aces one ounce of starch
should be mixed with 11s pints of wa
ter.
With the lace still on the slab, the
starch is thrown over the center and
from there will saturate the whole
surface. With the slab placed in a
slanting position the starch will drain
off in about Is minutes. Then place
the slab with the lace on it fat on a
table, ard with clean, thick cloth
four or five times doubled, pat until
all superfuous moisture is absorbed.

wavering finger at Andre. Eyes, An
DIRE, lad, speak, for this is thy last
night"
For a moment Indignation ran high.
But for the age of the fisherman he
would have been unceremoniously
elected from the hall. But the aged
have ever been respected among the
simple folk of Cheniere, and he was
tolerated as he had been earlier in
the day when he dampened their
ardor by discouraging the holding of
the feast.
''Oh, stop croakfng, Manuel" cried
Alcee. Come, give him some wine,
Gaspard, give him some wine. 1t will
warm up his old blood. Then he will
sing, instead of croaking." Higher
and higher the music rose, and loud
er and gayer became the guests. Out
side the wind blew a gale and the
rain came in sheets. And still the
mirth went on.
"Let Manuel give us toast" cried
Gaspard, who had proffered the old
fisherman the wine at Alcee's sugges-
ton.
"Aye, aye" said the hoary Manuel,
ga toast it shall be. And not to your
fair girl. For never will she be a
bride. Never will the wedding feast
be known. The bells shall not ring
save it be for corpse that has been
taken from the water. For it is
written, my brothers, these two shall
not wed" The cracked voice became
high and clear, the tones were even
resonant, so earnest was the speaker.
Unhappy Manuel sighed the wife
of Bizan. 'sHe has suddenly lost his
wits. But why should he come here

On Cheniere

COOpyr1ghted by DAILY story Pub. Cos

A LII day the red-sailed luggers had
n lain at anchor in the bay, while
the busy fishermen had mended nets.
The ight-hearted Andre himself, the
gayest among them, had warned
them not to venture from shore.
There will be storm, I am afraid, -
was his laconic warning, given every
now and then between the mirth and
gibes of his Acknowledgement. So, as
they were to celebrate the betrothal
of Andre and of Marie Bizan that
night, they remained at shore, in an
ticipation of the feast that was to
come.
The girls of Cheniere were in fiut-
ter of expectation. Tongues were

the bellies tried and fitted their
finery, and arranged ribbons, in an
ticipation of the event. Marie Bizan
was a great favorite as well as a
great beauty.
Day wore on, and evening came,

strangely awesome. Strange that

dusk came over the island.
When some of the guests were still

Glode, as he hurried his family to
the friendly lights that cleaned from
the windows of the Bizans. But he
hid his fear, and made merry with
the rest. The fiddlers merrily tuned
away, the light feet of the dancers
never faltered and spirits ran high.
At ten came supper. Old Bizan
arose to give the toast. Friends, -
said he, ''this is truly a happy occa-

betrothal of Marie and of Andre.

Morning dawned, clear and beauti-
full. The sun, a fiery disk, sent long,
glinting lines across the water, and the
iridescence was a mockery of some
of the hideous objects floating on the
waves. A strange stiffness lowered
over all. Life seemed strangely, sud

See, there lie two bodies, side by

unhappy and lucl1less lovers lie, cast
on the beach by the receding waves.

those who ought to know, credit the
Cingalese lady with more affection
ate disposition, and with less prone
ness to quarrel. She is, like other
Asiatic feminines, very fond of per-
sonal ornaments, especially jewelry,
and although her taste may appear
faulty in some details, no doubt her
native admirers would offer similar
criticism on seeing an English lady
in ball costume of up-to-date fash
ion. At all events, these gentleman
nered women make dutiful daughters
and faithful wives when kindly treat
ed, as is said to be usually the case.
Thoroughly domesticated by early
training, they devote all their
thoughts to the details of household
work, and do not consider it in the
least derogatory, as some western
wives appear to do, to cater for the
tastes of their husbands. 1t is not
much matter for surprise, therefore,
that contentment reigns in most
