So many mills on both sides of the Atlantic

unless it can secure cotton at lower prices. In
Great Britain the authorities admit that hun

It may seem strange that Mr. Edison and his
assistant, Mr. Daily, should acquire their knowl-

X rays from experience, rather than from the

The replanting Of the trees in the Boulevard

There is now ample reason to expect that the
extension of Riverside Drive upon liberal scale
will provide for New-York boulevard along the
Hudson from West Seventy-second-st. to the

equal in picturesqueness and charm in any other
great city on the globe.

AUNT PATTY'S WHEEL.
Old Negress Would Not Part With
Family Treasure That Was
Her Mainstay.

A northern lady who went south
with pocketful Of money, in the
hope of picking up precious antiqui-
ties, visited the old Hampton estate,
There, says the New York Herald,
she found magnificent mahogany fur
niture, mirrors from England and
France and priceless bits of cut glass.
But none of these treasures was for
sale. Their present owners cling to
them, not in the least for their
value, but as links which bind them
to the past.
Even Aunt Patty, an old negress
who lives in a little cabin among the
ruins of former outhouses, has her
own loyalty to her small belongings.
She has served the Hamptons all her
life. On the day of the northern
lady's visit Aunt Patty was busy at a
quaint old spinning-wheel.
won't you sell me that wheel,
Aunt Patty?" pleaded the visitor.
"No'm," mumbled the old woman,
shaking her head. 81 spins de yarn

HOW TO WHIP CREAM.
Simple Process by Which the Best
Results Are to BE
Obtained.

Before whipping cream it should be
thoroughly chilled. Pour the cream
into a bowl of the desired size (cream
increases in bulk when whipped), pack
your bowl in a pan of cracked ice, to
which water is added. Without the adj
dition Of the water your cream viii
not be thoroughly chilled, says the
Boston Globe. To whip heavy cream,
undiluted, or diluted with one-third its.
quantity of milk, use the medium sized
egg beaten; undiluted cream beaten
one moment too long turns into butter.
When whipping thin cream, it is more
satisfactory to use whip churn; the
same is true of heavy cream, when di-
lifted as above directed. The churn
is placed in a bowl containing the
cream, cover is held down with the left
hand, while the right hand works the
dasher with rapid downward motion
and short upward motion. Do not
raise dasher too high in cylinder as
this will spatter the cream and waste
it. The first froth which appears.
should be stirred with the cream, as,
the consistency is so loose and air bub-
bles so large that they collapse. After
this as the whip raises it should be re-
moved with a spoon to fine strainer,
placed over a bowl, as some cream Will
drop through. The first which drains
through may be rewhipped. Continue
whipping as long as whip rises; there
will be some cream left in the bowl
which does not reach above perfora-
ton in the churn, and, therefore, cam
not be whipped. This cream and that
which drains from that already
whipped, may be scalded and used to
dissolve gelatine, when gelatine IS
used, in whipping cream. Cream
should treble it's bulk. If these direc-
lions are carefully followed, one need
have no trouble in whipping cream.
Be sure and have your cream of the
proper quality. Cream should be fla
vored and sweetened before whipping
when used for charlottes or pudding
sauce.

MODISH FANCIES.
\ Few OF the Pretty Trifes That Now
Delight Followers of the
Fashions.

Embroidery in straw is a new de-
parture described in one of the large
fashion journals. The straw braid
imported from Florence and from
certain Swiss and German centers.
are used effectively in decorating all
kinds of useful and ornamental arti--
cles such as work bags, paper and
music holders, etc. The straw is as
pliable and ss easily managed as.
thread, and it is dyed in all the lead
ing tints of silk and woollen threads,
says the New York Post.
Boas have disappeared in every
thlng except ostrich feathers, stoles
ana capes of the costliest and most
perlshable materials having taken
thelr places. Cheap stoles are not.
Tolerated. Chiffon, maine, mousse
line de sole, lace, and other thin ma
terials which fluff well are used in
their construction. Sometimes rib
bon loops are used, dozens of yards
being consumed. The loops, doubled
several times, are sewed to an in
visible foundation of net tags, them
selves being attached to a fat shape
of net. They are thus relieved of ak
heaviness, and have that airy, easily
disturbed look which is required Of
the garment.
The only stiff linen collars which
are worn at all at present is the roll
ing shape which used to be called By
ronic. Most of these are ornamented
with double rows of hemstitching or
embroidered docs or edgings. Soft,
scarfs of silk or Windsor ties in sail
or knots, are worn with these collars,
which are the correct thing for ALI
sporting occasions.
Trained skirts are not seen except
for weddings and very dressy occa--
sions. The fashionable skirt touches
the floor in front, is little longer at
the sides, and lies on the floor not
more than four inches at the back.
Walking skirts, or sidewalk skirts as
they are called, must escape the floor
all around.
It is predicted that the fall will
| witness revulsion from the over,
decorated gowns of the spring and
summer. The new fabrics will be-
rough, with "nub" stripes, splashes,
and broken checks. These do not adj
nit of much trimming aside from
stitching and buttons.
Velvets and velveteens in black and
dark colors are being imported in
large quantities. 1t is said that the
new velveteens will be revelations of
beauty in weave and luster and ars
guaranteed not to rub off on white
gloves, as velveteen always has done.
Hats of unlined guipure, the edges
finished with black or white velvet,
are dressy. The trimming is usually
an ostrich feather or an aigrette.
Lighter lace is beginning to be seen
in hats, and in one fashionable shop
are seen few hats of valenciennes.

THREE YEARS.

Homei Home again since yesterday
And home, thank God! to stay;
And yet it hardly seems to me
That I have been away.
Old friends I used to know are here.
Old scenes / used to know
Are just the same as what they were
Those three long years ago.
But what a fearful dream that was!
We hewed us out a road
Through tangled jungles, fever stepped
While slowly past us flowed
Jne kagayan in tawny flood,
And down it's oily tide,
From Moro strongholds up above,
We saw the corpSes ride.
y
In Mindanao's Businesses
Where cholera takes toll,
And where the sultans beaten slaves
Rend gladly up their soul,
We built a broad fair wagon road
Ger which to draw supplies
And still see the dead float by
And see their staring eyesi
Iii
And I tonight must drive along
A road I used to know,
And past the trysting tree where she
Said "Good-bye!" years ago
To me and to her brother Tom,
When we two went away.
I'm home again, but Tom-poor Toni
He sleeps in far Panay!
And 7 will tell the tale again
In that old ingle nook,
And I will hold her trembling hand
And meet her mothers look
Toms mothers 1ooki-and l will see
Toms father bent with woe
7 marvel that ali this has Mapped
Since three short years ago!
Last night dreamed I was at home
And walked up with a cry,
And there I was in my old room!
The moon without was high,
My mother and my father stood
Biside my bed in bliss!
And that which I had thought a dream
Was my own mothers kiss!
And things to-day seem much as they
Were those three years ago;
The farm looks to me as it did,
I hear the cattle low
But there's a stronger bond Of love
Between US all, and they
Look love to me through tears for Ton
Who sleeps in far Panay.
