IN EDWARD Wills KITCHEN.

Mirror-Lined Corridors.

Dishes Borne by Relays Through
Mirror-Lined Corridors.
A system unlike that to be found
anywhere else prevails in the kitchen
where the meals of King Edward ara
prepared, according to Wha. TO Eat.
The royal chef is a Frenchman, paid
a liberal salary, and with free lodging
near the royal palace. 1t is his bust
ness to superintend only the kings
lunch and dinner. He mas nothing
whatever to do with the breakfast.
When the dinner is to Je served the
scene III the kitchen is one of perfect
order and readiness. The cold dishes
which were prepared during the morn
ing stand on the table, surrounded il
necessary by ice; the birds and other
such dainties which are 10 be served,
cooked to a second, are ready to hand
Now the hors d'euvres are sent for
ward 20 an ante-room, which in the
case of Buckingham Palace is nearly
300 yards from the kitchen. The assist
ants are clad in spotless linen, they all
work by the clock and each dish is
begun and finished to within minute
of the appointed time.
The chef walks around and superin-
tends, but his assistants are so well
drilled in their respective duties that
he seldom needs to give an order,
though here and there he offers a sug-
gestion for the further perfection of

is himself thinking out the final details
of the masterpiece of the table, which
he takes particularly under his own
care.
Just outside the door Of the dining
hall there is an apartment where the
final touches are given to the delicate
and costly preparations. At Bucking-
ham Palace it contains a hot table,
upon which the dishes rest in readiness
for their distribution to the table at
tendants.
The man who yields authority here
is clad in immaculate evening dress and
wears white gloves, and IN voice
which is rarely raised above whisper
he gives the minuteSt directions as to
what is to be done with each particular
item OH the menu from the moment
when it leaves the ante-room and pass
es finally from his care. Relays of men
and women bearers convey all these
dishes from the kitchen to the ante
room.
The passages from the kitchen are
long, with awkward corners in them
here and there, and in order to prevent
collisions in the hurry Of the work an
ingenious arrangement of mirrors has
been effected at these corners, so that
the bearers may see whether the road
is clear for them.
Attendants are strictly forbidden to
enter any other apartment than that
with which they are Immediately con-
cerned, and even the dish bearers are
prohibited from passing down other
corridors than those which are set
apart for their special use.

what Girls should Leara.

Statistics show that disease and in
toxication, crime and divorce, are due
in many cases to miserable cooking.
The superintendent of the board of
charities in Chicago few days ago
said there were 400 divorces in one
year in Chicago because the women
did not know how to cook and to keep
house A large number of them ad-
mitted that they did not know how.
Now, l wonder, who is to blame for all
this? | think partly it is the tram
ing we give our girls; they are not
fitted for anything practical in life.
Since the children are not likely 10
learn more than the mothers know, the
progress of domestic science will not
be realized until intelligent people
realize the Importance of it and sup
port the teaching in the public schools.
When the girls are learning to COOK,
they should learn about the products
they work with; about the coffee and
tea, how it is raised and prepared for
the market; about the raising OF
wheats and the harvesting and grind
ing in the great mills, which is so in
teresting, and the making of the -four ];
the lesson of bacteria, which is simply
the knowledge of germ life; and here
comes the lesson of the yeast-plant
which is used in the home every few
days; what they can do with that
and also about other germs that are
harmful and how to keep them out OF
the home They should learn that it
is harmful to leave vegetables and
fruit in the cellar and harbor germs
and, perhaps, diphtheria. Germs lodge
in this mold and increase until finally
the cellar is full, and they creep up
into the room where the baby lies in
the cradle, and bye-and-bye little cof-
fin goes out of the home, carrying the
life and light of the family, all be-
cause somebody did not know.-Illinois

Always shrink a new braid before
sewing to a skirt. In shortening a
skirt pattern, too, always fold a plait
across the middle of the pattern. Never
shorten from the top or bottom of the
skirt, or the shape will be spoiled.
Never hold the skirt on your lap
while basting-remember that it is
most important to keep it fat-so lay
it on table and haste from top to
bottom with small, even stitches; keep
your seams level and straight
In making up any material with q
nap remember that the nap should al
ways run downward; this fact should
not be forgotten when sponging and
pressing, otherwise you will make a
shiny streak on the surface of your
material.
For an elderly woman, and also for
the woman whose back is not perfectly
flat and straight, the shoulder seam
should have more of a tendency toward
the back of the armhole A young
straighter figure may have the shoulder
seams on perfectly straight lines.

Names of Textiles.

The names of fabrics are in many
cases derived from the place where
they were first manufactured; in 9th
crs, the name is bestowed in honor of
the place where it frs: Became known
to commerce, or from the materials
composing its texture. Thus the name
of muslin is derived from Mosul, in
Asia.
Cambria comes from Cambai; gauze
from GAIA; baize from Bajac; dimity
from Damietta and jeans from Jean.
ton of Damascus; satin is a corrup-
ton of Zaytown in China.
Velvet is the Italian vellute, woody,
and is traceable further back to the
Latin vellus, hide or pelt.
Serge comes from Xerges, the Span
ish for a certain sort of blanket.
Bandana is derived from an Indian
word signifying to bind or tie.
Alpaca is the name of a species of
llama from whose wool the genuine
fabric is woven.
Calico is named for Calcutta, a town
in India, where it was first printed.
Blanket bears the name of Thomas
Blanket. a famous English clothier,
who aided the introduction of woolens
into England in the fourteenth century.

Gray English wool is used for the
costume at the left. The front of the
skirt is plated. The sides and back
are bordered with two shaped ruff
fes. The half-ftting jacket is made
with French seams, the long shoulders
forming epaulets over the short lego
mutton sleeve, the bottom of which is
cut in deep scallop and filed with
fat plaits. A band of the material
curves over the hips and forms belt
across the front, closing with a leather
buckle. The small collar is of dark
gray velvet. The suit at the right is
made of brown linen. Each seam Of
the eleven gored skirt opens at the
foot in an inverted box plat. Every
other breadth is trimmed with point
ed band of the material. The fronts of
the Elton are outlined with straight
bands of the linen. Full epaulets head
the elbow sleeves, which are finished
with plain loose cuffs. The blouse is of
cream batiste, with narrow plating
down the front. The bow at the neck
and the girdle are Of dark brown lib
erty, the latter closing with a large
gilt buckle.

Female Fashion in Africa.

OF all the curious notions of personal
adornment INDUCED Ia by the women
of the world, none is more peculiar
than the custom of lip boring common
among some of the tribes of Africa. A
hole will be made in the upper lip and
gradually distended until the opening
can accommodate disk one, two and
even three inches in diameter. The
size of the disk proclalms the rank Of
the wearer The lower classes insert a
stick no thicker than a match, while
the women of higher birth frequently
stretch their lip until ii breaks under
the strain, and the disconnected ends
have to be held up by the strings tied
to the ears

yellowish haze hung over the city, but
down in the garden amid the flowers all
was cool and fragrant. The house was
quite dark, and a tall mulberry tree on
one side of it was black against the clear
sky. Suddenly the door opened, and a
figure came out and closed the door softly
after it. Down the path it came. and

then a fresh cold breeze came sweeping

its hands out toward the house with a
gesture of despair, then gliding down the
path it went out of the gate and stole
quietly down the lonely street.

CHURCHES NAY BUN DANCES.
Devised in Omaha Means of
Combating Vice.

Combating Vice.
A proposition is under way in Omaha
by several of the churches, by which they
hope to provide four halls in which to
hold dances for the young people who now
frequent the public dance halls of the
city. 1t is planned TO hold these dances
twice a week and to have in attendance
each night one of the church women, who
will be interested in this work for the
young people. Rev. B. III. Bell is at the
head of the plan.
With party of newspaper people, and
under the protecting wing of two city de-
tectives, Rev. Mr.. Bell visited the dance
halls of Omaha and remained until late
hour to study the conditions under which
many young people take their Saturday
night amusement After these visits one
of the detectives inquired:
What are you going to do? They've
got to have some amusement, these young
folks. Many of the girls have no homes
where they care to invite their company
and there is no place for them but the
dance halls and the parks and the thea
tiers. Why don't the churches get to-
gether on this question snd provide some
wholesome amusement for these young
people?"
1--WE are planning to do this said Mr..
Bell. Eve hope. to establish at least four
halls in Omaha, where young people may
go to dance decently an0 in order. Dane
ing is natural amusement for young
people and am heartily in favor of it..
But the romping and hugging which 1
have seen tonight is not dancing. If we
establish our dance halls, as we hope to
do, we will have ladies in charge of the
halls who will look after the young people
and see that everything is conducted de-
Gently and in order. We recognize the
fact that they must have proper recrea-
ton and that we must provide something
better in the place of these dance halls.
We hope to lay this matter before the
Omaha Women's Club and have their CO.
operation in the matter"

We are now to know for six days In
advance what we may expect the
weather to be. The United States
Weather Bureau has had one of its
meteorologists ut work for a long time
making forecasts forseveral days ahead,
and he has been so successful that he
is to continue the work, and the bureau
will publish his predictions. He has
been enabled to make the predictions
by receiving news of the atmospheric
conditions prevailing over almost the
whole of the northern hemisphere. The
bureau has lately made arrangements to
receive daily reports from the Russian
meteorological service. and for some
time it has been receiving similar re-
ports from the west coast of Europe,
from the West Indies, from Bermuda,
the Azores, Bahama and Honolulu. In
a few months reports will be received
from the interior of Alaska, and within
year from Iceland. With information
of the atmospheric conditions within
and around the arctic circle, it will be

place of the meeting of the air currents
from the south with those from the
north, with consequent increase in
accuracy of all weather forecasts. Rain
and snow are caused. as the reader
knows, when a cold air current meets
warm current saturated with moist
ure. Therefore the more one can learn
about the existence and direction of the
air movements the more accurately can
he predict storms.
