Dinner Table Decorations.

Ribbons are in high favor for din
ner decorations. a striking center
piece is secured by combining white
and green liberty tatfeta ribbon four
inches wide in rosettes clustered
around colonial candlesticks, the
streamers running to the four cor
ners. Or if flowers are used for a
centerpiece the ribbon is employed
at the four corners in big bows
with flowing ends. Flat cut glass
dishes for olives, radishes, sailed
nuts, bonbons or candied fruits give
the table festive air not usual with
the more formal dinner, and tooth
some sandwiches may be served with
certain courses, particularly the sal
ad course, instead of plain bread or
dinner rolls.

Rather Useless Words.

Commander Peary, the arctic ex-
plorer, was talking to small bunch
of newspaper men at Saratoga not
long ago, and they were asking him
number of questions about life in
the extreme ATTITUDES, of which he
can talk most entertainingly. Some
one asked if he spoke the Eskimo
language, and he said he did,
whats it like" continued the
questioner. "For instance, how
would an Eskimo say Good morn
ing" 'He wouldn't say it," re-
piled the commander, with a slight
smile. Indeed, and are they so UNI
tutored in the amenities of life !"
Not at all, not at ALL the explorer
explained. you see, in a country
where they would have occasion to
use those words only once year
they don't have them"

A Potato Crust For Meat Pies.

1t is well sometimes to vary the
monotony Of the ordinary meat pie
by emitting the bits Of potatoes and
the pastry crust, substituting a po-
tato crust instead. In this, as in all
meat pies, care must be taken to boil
the bits of meat until they are per-
fectly tender. \ havoring of on
ion Drowned in a pan with little
butter or of celery salt is an addi-
ton. When the meat, moistened
with a thickened broth, is in the
baking dish lay on top thick crust
of mashed potatoes and bake.

One Way at Ironing Time.

One good housekeeper says that
she does not dampen her clothes in
advance. She goes over each piece
with a sponge squeezed out of clear
water just before ironing. She
claims that by doing this each piece
receives just the right amount of
moisture, and if the ironing is inter
rupted the clothes can be put away
without risk of mildew.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
How the French Woman Makes Good
soup and Preserves Her Stock.

Invariably the housewife who has
reputation for fine soups is the one
who supervises the food left from
each meal and sees that no bone, I'M
less burned in the broiling, no scrap
of meat, not the least bit Of gravy
and not teaspoonful of vegetables
is wasted. All these she uses in her
soup kettle. This, indeed, is the
French woman's secret, and she
helps it out with additional season.
ings.
Fresh meat will need to be pur-
chased at least once week for the
soup stock. For the purpose piece
of the shin of beef, with the bone
which contains marrow, a knuckle
of veal for additional gelatin and the
cold meat and bones which have been
saved should all soak in cold water
for half an hour or so and then be
brought very slowly to a simmer.
When the meat is cooked to shreds
and the knuckles fall apart it is time
to remove the kettle. Many persons
season the stock while it is cooking,
but this practice has its disadvan-
tages. In the first place, vegetable
Juices will cause it to sour much
more readily. Besides, once it has
been seasoned it is impossible to
vary it so decidedly. Then, too, IN
the daily scaldings of the stock,
which is necessary if the fat is re-
moved from the top, much OF the
flavor is lost in steam. 1t IS an ex-
cellent plan to fill stone crooks, each
holding enough for one days supply,
to let the cake Of grease form upon
them, and when they are entirely
cold cover them and place them in
the refrigerator. Undisturbed and
in a cool place, the stock will keep
for two weeks.

Remittance. Of Money Through Mails.

From report of Hon.. f. c. Madden.
third assistant postmaster general. De-
cember. 1903: The practice of the pub
lie of using postage stamps for small
remittances in the mails has grown to
enormous proportions. The result Is
that the department loses heavily, not
only because of improper sales by post
masters for that purpose, thereby In
creasing their compensation wrongful
ly, but in imposing upon postoffices, es-
pecially in the large cities. the labor of
handling mail matter the
from which are derived by other post
offices. 1t encourages trafficking in
postage stamps, and his encourages
the robbery of postoff1ces. Many plans
ave been proposed for Obviating h
evil, but none which a come to my
attention equal in simplicity, effective
ness and efficiency, the "post-check"
proposition. With such a simple means
of making remittances, merchants
would soon be compelled to refuse
postage stamps as currency. The post
age stamp would then lose its value
for the purpose of remittance. rec
ommend this subject to your favorable
consideration. and trust that you may
deem it proper to recommend that this
system of transmitting money in he
mails be authorized at least in an ex-
detrimental way.

INGENIOUS TALKING MACHINE


mas lips ana tcetn ana is a frencn.
mans Invention.
Sketch: A talking machine that has
created no little sensation is that just pro-
duced by DIR. r. Marage, a we'll known
member of the French Academy of Medi-
cine. 1t is an interesting device, which
reproduces with perfect accuracy the
sounds of the human voice. not. as in
case OF the monograph, by merely re-
peatinE words by a person, but by a
process which is purely mechanical from
start to finish, and in which no word is
spoken by any human being. The sounds
are produced by a system of vibration.
Attached to the machine are a series of
plaster heads, five in all, representing the
five novels. u. e. ! o. II. They are each q
perfect model of a persons mouth, fitted
with pl.able lips and perfect teeth. Air
currents set III motion by the machine are
made to pass through the dummy mouths.
which are fitted with sirens.
Through his Invention DIR. Manage has
discovered tina. the steam sirens used on
board ships can be so constructed as to
initiate certain sounds. Thus different
phonetic syllables may be obtained which
could be used to form an international al
phabet. BY an ingenious contrivance at
i;ached to this wonderful Instrument 1t
is possible to see reflected in a tiny mir
ror the vocal chords of a singer.
by the same deVlce one can also trace
their action, and see how. as the note
gets higher, the aperture between them
becomes less and less. until when the top
note IS reached 1t is almost closed. AS
the force of air current expelled becomes
stronger the opening decreases in size. 1t
increases as the force becomes less. The
smaller the aperture the greater the vi
hration. This is how human beings get
their singing voices. ''There is no mys-
terry about it, declares DIR. Marage. at
is 4 purely mechanical process, based on
snown laws of higher mechanics"

the Gulf Of Mexico.
New Orleans Tines-Democrat: Watch
ing the flying fish in the Gulf of Mexico Is
one of the favorite past.mes of persons
who make the voyage across the gulf for
the first time, and the habit is not an un-
interesting che. for there is much to be
learned, much that Is new and attractive
to the stranger. There Is something par.
ticularly fascinating about the flying fish
in the Gulf of Mexico.
During a trip recently We ran into great
schools of them between here and Vera
Cruz. and 1t was difficult not to believe at
these times that they were simply making
sport of the big vessel that was blowing
through the blue waters of the gulf. They
would dart across the bow of the ship,
scamper this way and that, and seemed
to be IN a playful mood all the while.
They looked like animated sprays, mere
flashes and splashcs of water; now taking
MS form, now that; now shooting along
with the course of the ship: now bounding
out from the vessels side. and all the
while apparently conscious of the fact
that men and women were watching
them. They seemed to take somewhat Of
pleasure from the enjoyment of the hui
man beings. But. of course, they were
busy with other problems. 1t was not a
pleasant business either. 1t was a matter
of life and death with them, They were
being pursued by their enemies. The
only way they could escape was by leav-
ing the water for Il while. The enemy
has not learned his little trick of flying.
and. consequently could not follow when
the flying fish spread their wings and
scared In the air for a while.
1t Is remarkable what distances these
delicate members can go on their poorly
trained wings. 1 have seen them fly as
far as two city blocks. They are inter-
esting little fellows. and they always
draw the attention of the tourist n the
stranger in gulf waters.
