SOME NEW LACE STITCHES
The Rather Coarse Work Liked by
Girls Ordinarily Not Over
Fond Of Fancy Work.

The girl who has a distaste for fine
sewing and delicate floss embroidery,
and who chooses the darning Of torn
linen and family stockings as her share
of the household duties, will find real
friend in the new filet lace embroidery.
In this lace work the designs are woven
into a fine or coarse mesh net by darn
ing instead Of by the cross-stitch, as In
Russian scrim embroidery. In fact, the
vogue for cross-stitch embroidery has
rather given way to fiiet lace work,
which closely resembles filet-guipure.
The real filet lace is enjoying decided
popularity for insertions and edgings on
table covers, center pieces and counter
panes. At large dinner given this
month by well-known society woman
the long table was covered with mag
nificent linen cloth. Oblong insets OF
filet lace in orchid design, set at regular
intervals formed a square in the center
of the cover, while the same oblong in
sertions outlined the edges Of the table,
and filet lace edging finished the bor-
ders Of the cloth.
A square tea cloth seen recently at an
afternoon reception was built from ten
inch medallions of f1let, alternating with
the same size squares Of linen. The
lace showed lordly ROSTERS and pea
cocks silhouetted in white against the
linen mesh.
Collars and cuffs, medallions and
bands OF fllet lace will be much in evil
dence as trimming for the shirt waist
and linen frocks Of the summer girl OF
1905. The girl who cannot afford the
real guipure can produce almost as
striking effects in darned lace, with the
aid of her book Of cross-stitch designs.
Colored laces seen so much on evening
frocks this winter will be feature Of
the washable dresses for warm weather,
and for these the modish girl can en-
broider nets in the soft shades Of blue,
pink, yellow and lavender.
In making flet lace the net should be
securely fastened to piece Of paper
cambria or thin oilcloth. The mesh Is
80 easily puckered and drawn out Of
shape that 1t must be watched careful
ly, or the result will be anything but sat-
isfactory. The weaving is effected by
a dull-pointed needle and mercerized
cotton, silks or crewels in self-tone, or
contrasting shades may be employed for
the darning. The needle is drawn over
one thread of the mesh and under the
other, as in the simple darning process,
the holes being filled in by two or three
crossings of the thread. Another meth
cd Of filling the holes is to have the
threads pass diagonally over the tiny
square, crossing each other in the Gen.
ter. This gives more lacey effect than
the straight-line NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Leather Table Covers.

The arts and crafts in this country
have brought out table covers Of nat
ural leather that are most attractive
They are stained in the different art
greens, three tones of red and also left IN
the natural tans and browns. They are
used for library and sitting-room tables,
and men particularly prefer them for
dens. There is no attempt to cut the
edges even or to have any appearance
of finish about them. They wear for
ever and day and need no laundering.
The most fanciful Of them are illumined
IN the dull puppies and gold Of the old
missals. This takes a great deal of skill,
but the result is in doubtful taste.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

FOODS FOR THIN. FOLK.
What to Eat and What to Avoid-If
Followed Carefully Will Pro-
duce Desired Results,

1t follows that. If you wish to be fat
ter, you must eat freely OF those things
which are forbidden to the oyerplump,
especially bread, pastry, cereal products
of all kinds, potatoes and sweets.
One great advantage of the system,
as already stated, is that 1t does not
require the person who pursues 1t to
make a martyr of himself, Though but
ter is fattening, one need not give II
up, inasmuch as the quantity consumed
under ordinary circumstances is small.
Sugar is fat-producer, but a few Jumps
daily in ones tea or coffee will not
count.
Sweets of all kinds are great fat pro-
ducers, and stout people are apt to be
particularly fond of them. In which
connection it is worth noting that the
use of sugar as food, in one shape or an
other, has increased enormously within
the last few years. At the beginning OF
the nineteenth century 1t was very ex-
pensiVe-a luxury, indeed, almost be-
yond reach Of the poor-but at present
1t is one of the cheapest articles of diet.
If anybody who finds himself or her
self beginning to get too fat will simply
give up potatoes and bread for awhile
the tendency will promptly cease. To
abandon the latter is a hardship-how
serious one realizes only after trying 1t
for a few days-but the benefit gained
amply pays for the sacrifice, Thin toast,
thoroughly cnsped, may be eaten, and
will prove consolation.
Prince Bismarck's physician cured
him of a tendency to obesity by forbid
ding him to drink anything at meals
a practice which, for some reason not
satisfactorily explained, seems to have q
tendency to make people fat.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Oh, Goyer's Maplecane's in town!

Oh, Goyer's Maplecane's in town!
A syrup fine of much renown;
1t makes the children dance and sing,
And sets the plumber and the king
Agog with appetizing glee for what
Thro' Fancy's eye they see--
A stream so golden, clear and sweet,
II would tempt an anchorite to eat,
Poured over smoking buekwheat cakes,
Or hot corn pone that Qinah makes,
Or biscuit brown, just from the pan,
Or fapjacks dear to boy and man.
From little tots to mothers tall,
It's liked by each, it's liked by all.
The purity of Maplecane and "woodsy
flavor give it fame
Wherever people think the best is not
too good for self nor guest,
Then buy the syrup of this rhyme,
The can is known in every cline.
Goyer's Maplecane Syrup is sold by
all First-class Grocers.

LATE WAR NEWS.

Toxic, May Ga a. m.-Four Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers from
yladiyostok appeared westward of
Hokkaido, off Sebu, yesterday. They
seized and burned q small sailing vessel
and imprisoned the captain and disap=
peared to the northwest. They were
evidently returning to Yladivostack:
There is a possibility that they have
destroyed other small craft, although
no reports to that effect have been re-
ceived.
The object of their visit is not clear.
It is thought that they probably hoped
to torpedo the Japanese patrol at night,
and it is also suggested that the Vladi-
vostok vessels plan a division to assist
the fleet of Admiral Rojestvensky.

Il XXI RANGERS.
First Fight with Indians In Which
R~evOlvers Were Used.

First Fight with Indians In which
RevOlvers We're Used.
John Coffee Hays was reared on a
farm in Wilson county, Tenn, being
born there in 1917. At the age Of
eighteen he migrated to Texas, where,
during the struggle Of that Mexican
province for independence, he served
with distinction in the military cam
paign conducted by General Sam Hous-t
ton. being noted for his bravery and
strategy. After the termination Of that
conflict Hays was placed in command
Of the small regular force that was
shortly afterward organized and be.
came known to fame as the Texan
rangers. Many were the desperate
fights in which he "a engaged with
the fierce Comanches and border In
dams, and innumerable were the perils
which he encountered. He was the
first to, supply an armed force with
Colts %revolvers for use in battle.
The Indian mode of warfare in those
early days was to draw their enemy's
fire and then sweep down upon them
like a whirlwind. plying their bows and
using their long spears with deadly eff
feet. So cautious were they in this re-
spect that. they soon distinguished the
double barreled gun when it was
brought into use and only approached
when they were sure that such weap-
ons had been .emptied. On the first oc-
easion when Hays and his rangers,
armed. with the irevolvers, met. a band
on the warpath they allowed their fire
to be literally drawn, and then the In
dams charged with exultant cries, but
when the revolver was brought into
play at close quarters the panic that
ensued was absolute and the destruc-
ton Of the Indians complete. Hays
was colonel of the First Texan regi.
ment, the nucleus of which was formed
Of veteran rangers.

Docile Ducks of the Chinese.

In China the duck is much esteemed
as an article of diet, and what may be
called duck farms are common OF most
of the rivers. The birds are taught to
hunt for their food, and the rearing of
them costs little. They are kept in
boats with a platform or deck extend
ing outward on each side. These boats
are taken to the shallow, marshy parts
by the banks of the streams, and the
ducks are then driven ashore to enjoy
themselves in the mud fats. So well
are the birds trained that at a given.
signal they cease eating and follow
their leader back into the boat, where
they lie during the night. Ducks pre-
served by being sailed are a favorite
food with the well to do.
