The company operating large tele-
phone system In Egypt has expert
enced great difficulty In securing q
suitable pole. The climate of the
country is so hot and dry that good
timber to use for pole line for the
transmission of an electric current
does not grow, and timber imported
from other countries dry-rot and be-
comes useless in "A very short time. A
certain pole imported from Sweden
proved to be the most valuable, but its
greatest life was not over four wears.
The company began negotiations,
therefore, with cedar pole firms In
the United States, with the result that
arrangements were lately made with
Michigan firm. wholesale producers
of cedar poles, ties and posts, for the
shipment of 1,50o poles of the white
cedar variety, Michigan grown, to
Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt.-Elec-

HE WANTED THEM TO THROW.

PEcUL1ARIT1Es OF SLEEP.
The Body Almost Invariably Assume y
the Position to Which 1t Is
Accustomed.

There are few persons who can tell
offhand just what positions they as
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there is
not an individual in the world who
has not some trick of distributing
limbs and trunk to insure slumber's
blissful spell which he practices I'M
consciously. This, says the Family
Doctor, is night habit, as perpetual
and immutable under normal condi-
sons. No sooner are we really off to
the land of nod than the night habit
asserts it's dominion. Our hands and
arms seek the same parts of the bed
or the same portions of our bodies
upon which they have nightly rested
since infancy; our feet and legs
stretch at the same angles or loose
ly entwine in comfortable relaxation,
as commanded by unconscious will.
1t is seldom of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies in
position for sleep, as you will find
tonight on going to bed if you re-
member these words. In truth, if
you do not seek to combat the in
stincts you will be surprised at the
dispositions of the various members
involuntarily made. If you endeavor
to go to sleep by new arrangement
of the body you will also be sur
prised by the revolt against slumber
which will surely ensue, but even be-
fore the struggle is well begun you
will probably surrender and permit
the all-masterful night habit to re-
instate those little details of position
which long practice has made neces-
sary to your comfort.

HOUSEHOLD TALKS.
Some Suggestions for the Culinary
Department Which May Be
Found Useful.

Chicken paprika may be used as a
luncheon or supper dish or as din
ner course, and lends itself readily
to the chatting dish.
Boil two chickens until they are
tender, and the bones can be re-
moved readily. Make sauce of a
half cupful of strained tomato juice,
one cupful of cream, two tablespoon
fuls of butter and two tablespoon
fuls of flour. Heat the tomato juice
and add the butter. When the latter
is melted stir in the -four and cook
for five minutes, stirring constantly
until smooth. If there are any
Jumps, strain the sauce. While hot,
add the cream. and when hot again
season with paprika to taste; turn in
the chicken, and when heated
through serve. In place of the to-
matoes all cream may be used, and
just before removing from the fire
the yolks of two eggs may be beaten
in, says the New York Tribune.
A crown, or Philadelphia roast, on
a hot day adds to the attractiveness
of the table, if the butcher has done
his part of the work well. This
roast, which consists of rib chops
trimmed and skewered together,
with the meat side down, will need
only a short time to cook-just
enough to brown properly. The CEN
ter may be filled with riced potato
or green peas.
In household where fruits appear
at every meal and in many guises, a
favorite way of preparing prunes,
dates, figs and raisins is soaking
them in cold water until all the lost
moisture has been restored. They are
then drained, rolled in graduated
sugar and placed in a single layer on
board to dry. They are used in
place of bonbons. The stones are
removed from the dates and prunes
after the soaking, but before they
are sugared. The prunes need a
longer soaking than the other
fruits. The centers may be filled
with nuts or with fondant.
This is the season when the lover
of green peas not infrequently finds
his hopes turned to ashes because
the deliciously fresh green peas that
he has anticipated with delight have
been spoiled with soda. Too few
cooks, not to mention the house
wives, know that natural green
color may be preserved in green
vegetables by simply leaving off the
covers of the kettles in which they
are boiling. Soda should never be
used with green vegetables. The
green color that it gives is unnatural,
and so, repulsive, and the flavor of
the vegetable is always destroyed by
its use. If a vegetable is so tough
that soda is needed to soften it, it
table.
During the months of fresh fruits
the table linen should never be sent
to the laundress until it has been
carefully inspected for stains. The
method of removal before they are
set with soap and washing fluids
is simple. Stretch the cloth con
tanning the stain over a bowl
and, holding tea kettle as high
as possible, slowly pour boiling
water through the spot. 1t will
quickly disappear. The sooner the
stain is removed the more easy will
be the. process. If fruit stain is OF
long standing and does not yield to
the hot water treatment it can be
taken out by soaking it in a solution
of chloride of lime

"Gone to Rest. I"

In March 6, Thursday night c. J..
Caldwell died at the Sisters Hos
pital in Ell Paso, Tex.
Mr.. Caldwell was we'll known in
this city, having left here several
years ago, and has many friends to
mourn his loss, besides mother
and sister who reside here.
He was married about five years
ago at Pine Bluff, Ark, and also
leaves a wife and one child, 3 years
old. She was bright and affec-
tionate child and gladdened the
home for three years Then God
took her father to Himself.
He has been lingering in his i'll
ness for several weary months, but
bore his suffering manfully.
1t was only two days before he
died that he was thought to be
dangerous. Everything was done
to save him, but the messenger had
come.
He was 80 years old, retiring and
modest i'll his disposition, a noble
christian man, faithful and de-
voted husband, and a fond and low
ing father. May God sustain the
stricken ones and teach them that
the sorrows of this life are fleeting
and will soon be over, and then
they shall rest in that land where
death, pain and sorrow never come.
The entire community extends
with sorrow heartfelt sympathy
and coincidence to the grlef-stricken
relatives and friends in their sad
hour. But our loss is Christ's eter-
nal gain.
