What stands alone in cable repair
ing annals is the extraordinary case
of the 1874 line, which, owing to a
series of unfortunate mishaps, &C
cupied more than year and cost al
most 100000, or about one-fourth OF
its original cost. Ordinarily, however
it is estimated that the repairs OF
every working Atlantic cable cost S4o,-
600 year. After thirty years a cable
deterioriates so from natural causes
that it becomes cheaper to lay a new
one than to repair that in use
In the earlier days of submarine
telegraphy 1t was found necessary to-

other cables were broken in deeper

the repairs were satisfied that the mis-

The greatest of midwinter repairs

Well to Know.

Every housewife knows that cake
just removed from the oven should
have plenty of air circulating about
it, otherwise the steam will render
it "soggy." Therefore, manufacturers
have put on the market neat little
wire stands, on which cakes or bread
can be cooled in the best possible
manner.
The pinch of salt that gives an add,
ed sayoriness TO almost every dish
should not be put in until the last
moment in case where any consid
cradle quantity of milk is an ingre
dent. This bit of carefulness would
prevent many a curdled failure
When cruel separation has actually
taken place dish may often be
made fit to serve by the brisk appli
cation of an egg beater.

An Economical Idea,

A nice and economical little idea
that helps with our summer clothes.
especially with silk shirtwaist suits. is
10 nave several yards of ruffiing made
OF lawn edged with lace, which ruffiing
should be made by hand to be really
dainty and pretty. Sew this ruffied
edge on the edges of the box plaits
down the front of your shirt waist. 1t
gives a very pretty finish to the suit
and changes the whole appearance or
the gown. 1t is not a great deal OF
trouble to haste it on and it really
makes two gowns of one. If your
gown is dark blue it is very pretty to
nave the ruffling of ecrue lawn and
coffee-dipped lace.
