Finishing Tablec.oths.

The French hem is the most at
tractive way to finish tabiecloths aud
napkins.
1t is made by turning an ordinary
hem-that is. turn once and over
again. Now turn it back upon itself
SO that the right side Of the hem will
lie upon the right side of the material
and top sew tie edge.
When this is finished spread out the
hem and crease it fat This forms i
much stronger hem than the one usu-
ally known and sewed with the hem
ming stitch.
The raw edge only Of a tablecloth
and napkin should he hemmed.
The hem on the napkin should be
as narrow as 1t is possible to turn it
that is, about an eighth of an inch.
The hem on a tablecloth should be
Z quarter of an inch wide.
No. so cotton should be used, and the
work should be very 6rm to prevent
IT. ripping out.

Dsn4 Aiseet etiitsd StyIs u csa-
voroation.

ooaS A6ee& . 9<ittod Style oS Coa-
versation.
Don't speak In . low. monofonons
voice. Conversation is Ike song.
It needs pronounced accent and .
great variety Of intonations to keep
up sustained interest.
Don't tell long stories of personal ex-
periences. One who has the habit Of
making personal recitals takes the
lions share Of the conversation and
doesn't give the listener fair chance.
Don't ask trifiing questions. Don't
air your prejudices. Neither contrib
utes to the grace Of conversational art,
the essence of which should be SYM
pathy.
Don't talk Of melancholy or grew
some matters. Give the talk happy
turn. Don't ride conversation too
hard. Leave breathing spaces in the
talk. 1t is not essential that every
moment two people are together
should be filed with flow of words.
Don't deaden and hinder the CONVEX
sation by being too accurate over de-
tails. Don't go back and add appen-
dices to subject after you have once
left it. If the subject was not closed
to your satisfaction. no matter.
Don't run one story into another.
When you have told good story stop
short in order that its effect may tell.
A good story should be set off by a
blank or dull space in the talk.
Don't make a point of agreeing with
every speaker. The real Zest of con-
ye-sation lies in just enough difference
of opinion to bring out the strong
points of two peoples character
There is nothing more genial than the
warmth of friendly discussion which
never rises to anger.
Don't harp too long on one string.
Change to another topic before the
one in hand is quite thrashed out. To
turn the conversation gracefully is like
reversing in the waltz, a nice point OF
skill.
Don't affect stilted style of CONVEX
sation. The longest words are by nc
| means the best words. Everyday idi-
oms and colloquialisms have Il direct
ness and terSeness that commend
themselves to the really good talker.

Fat ana f'Ower.

Amateur and professional athletes
alike in this country have been insist
ing for years that superhuous flesh
must be removed from the frame Of
the person who wants to do stunts
testing muscular capacity and all round
physical endurance. Along comes a
Japanese wrestler with a record and
800 pounds of fat on his six foot body.
If ne doesn't exactly upset all theories
of the training table his appearance
will at least stir up new thoughts about
weight and athletic fitness.
OF course there are times when the
light frame has advantages In athletic
feats, but if we turn to nature we find
that the tough and strong thin man
is. as a rule, built that way. He is not
brought to the standard by cutting his
normal weight in two. For feats of en-
durance fat is necessary to nourish the
nerves, for, after all, those much despis
ed factors In mans complex structure
are not so delicate as to be satisfied
with angel cake and ice cream. A
man can train himself down to skin
and bone and be able to strike knock
out blow. But we may have to revise
our notion about that being the only
way to produce the athlete.

RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Curious Stream That Runs Inland In
Grecian Island.

Curious Stream That Runs Inland In
Grecian Island.
One Of the most curious phenomena
Of geography Is found on the southern
coast Of the island of Cephal0nia, In
Greece. 1t is a stream of salt water
which for an unknown period has left
the almost tideless sea and flowed IN
land with a volume sufficient to fur
nish water power to two mills. For
some generations the mills were oper-
ated by undershOt wheels which took
their power from this little river OF
ocean water. They supplied flour to
the people Of the island until recently,
but now they have been dismantled
owing to the competition Of larger and
better equipped mills.
The sea enters the land at four points
where the coast is practically on lev
ell with the salt water surface. The
four initial streams unite to form the
little river that flows inland In bro
ken rocky channel until it finally dis
appears in the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
This inland flow has continued al
most certainly for several centuries
1t is far too great for removal by evap-
grafton, chemical combination or even
physical absorption by pores or cav
ems in the rocks. What becomes OF
the water that is constantly flowing in
land and disappears finally in the fis-
sures that have opened in the lime
stone?
The question has been the subject OF
much study, but no conclusive answer
has been given. 1t is probable that
there is an underground channel which
carries the water back into the sea at
no great depth below the surface. The
constant influx Of salt water at Cepha-
lonia is duplicated. as far as is known,
at no other point of the world.

JACK LOND0N's RECIPE.

lover of game, particularly OF wild
duck. which he has dubbed the SOY
ereign food" If he is to eat duck.
however. Mr. London insists that the
bird shall be cooked after his own par
ticular recipe. Thus if the wild duck
is to be roasted it must first be stuffed
with celery and then cooked in very
hot oven for just fourteen minutes.
This leaves it blood rare, but when it
is busted with salt and paprika, gar
rished with lemon and served with
fried hOminy or Italian spaghetti there
are few dishes that could be more de-
Iicious. There are SO many methods
of cooking spaghetti that Mr.. London's
favorite recipe for this dish will be
read with interest boil one pound Of
italian spaghetti for about half an
hour" he says land be sure that the
boiling water is first poured upon the
spaghetti. as otherwise it will be dis
i agrceably sticky. Peel and boil three
good sized tomatoes. When they are
smooth add the juice from one can OF
French mushrooms and one tablespoon
full of cOrnstarch, already mixed with
a little water, Glove Of garlic, a
pinch of cayenne pepper, little salt
and sage as seasoning. Take the
mushrooms from which the juice has
already been used, cut each of them
once or twice and spread the pieces
cold over the spaghetti after it has
been placed upon hot platter. Then
/ pour the tomato sauce over the spa
ghetti and mushrooms, add little
Parmesan cheese and garnish with
parsley.

DUTY TO THE NATION.
Future Of the Country In the Hands
of Its Women.

Future of the Country In the Hands
Of Its Women.
The following advice to mothers was
taken from an article written recently
by clever woman who has the well
fare of society deeply at heart: rs it
not time for mothers to take their
stand ut point where they can survey
their own relation to society at large
and realize their duty to the nation?
Will they not teach their children the
value of character as an asset in life
and show them that if having is good
being is better? Let American moth
ers take their children to the mountain
tops instead of through the valleys
and demonstrate to them that they are
but units in the sum total of the ma
tiOn-units, however, upon the sound
ness and value of which the entire to-
tai depends and without which the
sum is incomplete.
ut is not too much to say that the
future of the country is largely in the
hands of its women. AS mothers they
have the first chance at the molding OF
their sons characters when at the
most plastic stage. and they hold up
to them their first standards of con-
duet. As friends and sweethearts they
give the young man at his most I'M
questionable age his first idea OF the
visible type most admired and desired
as we'll as most likely to win in this
great world which he dreams to con-
quer. Is this type to be the mere mon
ey maker, regardless of honesty; the
mere politician. regardless of princi-
pie; the mere social leader, regardless
of manIiness, or the gentleman, sans
peur ct sans reproche.' whose sturdy
nobility of character Obliges him to
consider the moral cost of worldly sue
cess and who feels rewarded for the
sacrifice by the safety of his honor
and the force of his personality!"

went to the alcalde and complained
that q boy ten years old had stolen and
carried away his donkey. He insisted
that the boy had carried the animal on
his shoulders. The police laughed at
the idea, but when the lad was arrest
ed it was shown that the statement
was true.
The boy had carried good sized
donkey a quarter Of mile on bis
shoulders without stop. He did the
trick again for the benefit OF the po-
lice.
Various tests were made OF his
strength. and it was found that he had
the muscles Of two ordinary men.
