Hemstitching Wears Badly.

1t is generally considered hardly
worth while to hemstitch tablecloths,
both because the ends are so seldom
seen, and because stretching in order
to fold them evenly after washing ne
cessitates so much pulling that the hem
stitching runs continual risk of tear
lng:--greater in the case of fine damask.
which also is much more difficult to
hemstitch than the coarser weaves. the
same applying in a lesser degree to
hemstitched sheets, and these should be
made about two inches longer than is
required, SO that when the hemstitch
wears out, as it will before the sheet
itself, it can be cut off and turned
down again without undue shortening.
Hemstitching which is caught below as
well as where it joins the edges is both
stronger and more finished than the
single row of stitches.

Marking Table Linen.

Table napkins are usually made now
with hem of an inch or an inch and
half, and marked with an initial letter
of about the same depth, old English
in form, in such manner as to be
crossways in the center of the corner
square Of the folded serviette. This
letter is raised by as many rows of out
lining as there is room for in coarse
linen thread, the satin stitches being
worked across in fine linen thread. The
bordering initials on both house linen
and personal underwear, but with US
white is generally more in favor

then, to give variety, interest and the

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
IN MILITARY TRACTION
Special Cable to The Globe

LONDON, March A most inter-
esting experiment in military mechan-
ical traction was conducted this week
at Aldershot over the rough and loose
ground Joining the long valley. The
test was in connection with the war
Office trial of the Pedrail traction en-
CINE, the novel feature of which is that
instead of the ordinary Hanged hind
wheels, the engine is fitted with a
series of revolving feet-like projections.
In fact, 1t may be said that the engine
runs on wheels in front and walks be-
hind. The feet are fitted with socket
and ball joints. and are worked by
means of springs, which adapt them
selves to all inequalities of ground,
thus securing a wide distribution of
weight and a firm and upright position,
40 matter how rough or rocky the
ground may be.
The Pedrail passed with great ease
over the loose sand of the valley, draw
ing a wagon loaded up to five tons, and
climbed some very stiff hills. The in
ventor claims that the engines great
forte is hill climbing, and asserts that
il would even climb a staircase. The
tests were made under the direction of
Capt. Wilde. r. E., secretary of the war
office committee on mechanical trac-
ton.
