Fob THE BEDROOM MATINEE.
Dainty Affair Made In Lawn Of Lib.
erty Satin Squares.

For the invalid or the woman who
takes her breakfast in bed there are
the most delectable of French matt
nees made from large squares of lib
erty satin, cloth, lawn, or what one
will. These are hemmed on all four
sides: and in the middle of the square
two large Sits are made crossing
each other.
The four points made by these Sits
are turned back, finished with mar
row hens and lace frills,s or perhaps
with hand embroidery and lace frills,
and the head is passed through the
opening thus made, the rne fall
ing in full folds at back, front and
sides.
We have seen such a matinee made
in fine white dimity over pink china
silk. Lace butterflies were inset in
the points of the neck finish and flut-
ter up from the corners of the S luares
and across the front, and all the
edges are bordered by three inch
frills of valenciennes.
An added touch of coquetry for
the breakfast in bed toilette is the
picturesque mob cap to accompany
the matinee made of fine lawn and
lace and adorned with becoming rib
bon bows. This hides the rufaed
hair and is exceedingly becoming as
a rule.

MADE A NEW FASHION,,
Good Joke Played in Old Days on
WouId-Be Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains tells
a good story of a trick played by q
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip CaIthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
of Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, of the proud humor which our
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
to be made. John brakes, a shoe
;aaker, coming to this tailor's and see-
Ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make it
of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown. and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. P~erceiving the same to be
full of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have 1 made yours" "By my
latchet!" quoth John brakes, Il will
never wear gentlemen's fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.

TO GET MEALY POTATOES,
Must Be Boiled and Looked After In
Proper Manner.

Potatoes, to boil well together,
should be as nearly equal in size as
possible. Wash off the mold and
scrub them very clean with a hard
brush, but neither scoop or apply a
knife to them in any way; even to
clear the eyes.
Rinse them we'll and arrange com
pactly in a saucepan so that they may
not lie loose in the water and that a
small quantity may suffice to cover
them.
Pour this in cold and when it boils
throw in about a teaspoonful of salt
to the quart and simmer the potatoes
until they are nearly done; the last
two or three minutes let them boil
rapidly; when quite tender, which
may be known by probing them with
a fork, pour all the water from them
and lift the lid of the saucepan to al
low the steam to escape; place on a
trivet high over the fire or by the
side of it until the moisture is quite
e~vaporated; peel and send to the
table as quickly as possible. Irish
families always prefer them served
in their skins.

Something Good for Breakfast.

Boil a large soup bone of beef until
the meat is tender, then remove the
meat from the bone and chop fine,
season with pepper and salt, being
careful to discard gristle and small
bits of bone. A dash Of cayenne
and a suspicion of onion if liked.
Return the chopped meat to the soup
in which it was boiled. Then, when
the soup boils again, thicken with
corn meal to the consistency of mush.
Pour out into a long, deep pan and Put
away to cool. In the morning turn
out the solid cake on to a platter,
cut in slices, and fry in butter a light
brown. Serve hot. Can be eaten
plain or with jelly. This is fine for
those who don't know what to have
for breakfast"

Flow OF Artesian Wei.

To calculate the rate of flow OF an
artesian well a simple plan is to lower
a bottle Of aniline fluid to a depth Of
say 500 feet and then electrically ex.
plode a cap to burst the bottle. The
time required for the fluid to appear
at the surface gives an accurate gauge
as to the velocity of flow. 1t is claimed
that this method gives results as &C.

HIBERN|ANS OBJECT
TO CARTER COMPARISON

A persistent rumor was on the
streets last night to the effect that
some of the leading Hibernians OF the
city were assembled in secret meeting
to protest against recent utterancc OF
Governor Carter, who coupled the Irish
and the Japanese In an interview re-
garding the assimilation OF races.
What the Governor said was that the
Irish had become Americanized and
that there seemed to be no reason why
the Japanese could not do the same.
This has excited the ire Of the sons Of
Gael, the indignation of the Portuguese
at being termed social pariahs and
moral lepers being tame beside that of
the Irish when likened to Asiatics. and
the fact that the Italians were men,
toned in the same breath does not ap-
pear to be a mitigating circumstance
to tho Hibernians.

FINANCIAL CRISIS
IS DUE in JAPAN

VICTORIA, b. c., Saturday. Feb. o.
The Aki Maru, which arrived today.
brought news that japan is on the eve
Ii financial crisis. Count Okuma, a
former finance minister, speaking at
recent meeting OF the Progressist
party ia Toxic, said:
II wish to warn people of the econ
ornic danger confronting Japan. Un-
der the present financial and economic
conditions in japan. tho nation VIII
meet great distress before long. The
budget for the coming fiscal year
showed deficit of nearly s10o. ZOO, 900
in the revenue, which was simply made
up with surplus from the past. This
deficit will necessarily have to be made
good by means of an issue of bonds, or
further increase of taxation In the
lapse of two or three years. Further
issue of bonds is out of the question,
and so is an increase Of taxation.
Through the special war tax each
individual of the nation is made to
bear further additions to already heavy
burdens and the people cannot bear
further addition to the burden. When
the time comes for this difficulty to be
faced the people will be involved in
heavy distress, while commerce and in
dustry viii be paralyzed."
