Here is curious thing that fishes

great intelligence" said an old fisher
man. 1T might be that two fishes

OF prey, maybe a smaller fish. at the
same instant end they might both dart
for 1t at once and come violently into
collision. while their prey escaped.
Now that would be when they had
each the same chance Of capturing
what they wanted; they would both
make a Gash Tor it. Bnt often | have

Buy household linen Of the best
quality and commence housekeeping
with a good supply. No part of the
furnishings Of a home marks the re-
hnement Of a woman's character as
does the quality of her house linen.
The best linen is the most economi-
cal, for though its cost at first is great
err the extra expense is paid for in
wear and appearance. 1t should hard
ly be necessary to say table linen
should receive the best of care, yet
very often beautiful damask is spoiled
long before 1t has had even a short
reign. Carelessness In folding is ac-
countable in part for this and the ne
glect Of stains accidentally made dur
ing a meal and not unfrequently when
the table is cleared is as fatal as the
faults of the laundry. Vegetable and
fruit stains should be removed as
soon after they are made as possible
with warm chlorine water and then
rinsed well in ammonia water or warm
soap suds. Almost every sort Of stain
can be removed if treated properly and
at the time it is nade.-American

Bill Chadwell and Clell Miller were
killed on the way out. In thie case
the warning to the people to get off

Frank James was not in the raid,

Areas OF ruture cities.

Aud since it has been shown that a
city of pedestrians is incxorabiy lin

and that q horsc-usilg city nay grow
out to seven CT eight 1t follows that
the available area Of a city which can
offer q cheap suburban journey OF

much to expect that the available area
for even the common daily toilers Of
The great city CT the year 20C0 or ear
lier, will have a radius very much
larger even than that? Row, a circle
with 4 radius of thirty niles gives an
area Of over $3.50 cquGre miles, which
IS almost 4 quarter that CT Belgium.
But thirty niles Is cnly a very modcr-
crate estimate OF speed and the reader

that the available area fo- the cocial

Table Decoratlona.

One of the most satisfactory colors
to use for table decoration is rose pink,
which bears the light of sun and ar
titcial lights without much change.
Blue often becomes green, and vice
versa, under the influence of gas or
electricity. Violet changes its hue. and
yellow appears faded and pale away
from the sun. Red is a trihe dangerous
in combination and contrast. although
very cheerful and effective If used in
winter, when warm tints are accepta-
bic. Foliage green is always pleasing,
especially in summer, when ferns are
obtainable everywhere outside of city
limits. Large and small ferns will
keep their fresh greenness if when
gathered they are placed one over the
other compactly on thin piece of
board or cardboard, and then sprinkled
or even immersed in cold water ana
kept in cool, dark place for several
hours.
A pretty table decoration consists of
a circular mirror, with silver mount
ing if possible, set in the centre of
hne white linen cloth or pink embroid-
cred centrepiece. On the mirror rests
a glass bowl, filed with pink roses.
while wreath of asparagus fern en-
circles it. and one end is continued to
a central chandelier directly over the
table. Candelabra Of glass or silver,
holding pink candles and pink silk or
paper shades, throw a soft glow over
the table.-Good Housekeeping.

THE RACE PROBLEM GROWING.

The other day phase on the race CUES
ton appeared in New Orleans, says the Bal
timore Sun, which promises TO be especially
mischievous 1t seems that Lieut.. David
Boyd, OF the navy, had beeA ordered TO open
q naval recruiting Office in New Orleans,
and that he was instructed 10 enlist only the
best grade of men. He did not consider
negroes the best grade of men for the ser
vice and, as plenty of white men we're APP
plying, be decided TO accept no negroes. As
soon as that determination became known
at the Navy Department in Washington
Mr.. Boyd was relieved. Lieut.. Boyd found,
what other officers had already found, that
In recruiting 10 the South he would have to
take all white men or all negro men. His
fellow officers who had done recruiting ser.
vice In the South had told him that they
had frequently had a long list Of applicants,
but as soon as q nego was accepted the whole
line would fade away.
It has been found inconvenlent 10 have
entire crews Of negroes, and that white and
colored enlisted men will not work harmo
niously together. The white sailors from
the North are no better satisfied than those
from the South to consort upon equal terms
with negroes. This race antipathy has
caused great deal of trouble recently, and
il seems TO be on the increase In one of
the Northern cities not long ago where the
crew OF q man Of. war got shore leave the
white sailors mobbed the negroes, who had
