A BUDGET OF SANDWICHES.
Some New Ones That the Hostess
Can Readily Prepare.

The sandwich is always acceptable,
no matter what the character of enter
tainment, and here are some new ones
that may be readily prepared. Raisin
sandwiches are a delicious morsel to
serve with lemonade or any kind OF
fruit juice beverage. Cut large table
raisins in two with a sharp knife, take
out the seeds, dip in brandy or sherry,
but do not let them remain a moment
in the liquor. Then cut white bread in
rings with the top of a baking powder
can, spread with good butter and put
an even layer of raisins between.
Caviar sandwiches are made by
taking the Russian caviar, placing it
in a dish and beating to a smooth
paste with lemon juice and olive oil.
Spread on unbuttered bread, and CRATE
the yolks of hard boiled eggs over the
top.
Nasturtiums are the very acme of
daintiness; they must be made from
the small, tender leaves covered with
mayonnaise dressing. They must be
served oon after preparing as the
leaves soon lose their spicy freshness.
Just before sending to the table lay a
few blossoms on each plate. These
sandwiches are especially nice served
with meat and game.
Delicious walnut sandwiches are
made from one cup of walnut meats;
chop them fine with chicken livers,
mix with mayonnaise, spread on thin
slices of whole wheat bread.
For olive sandwiches, chop them fine
and mix with enough cottage cheese or
Neufchatel to make a paste, add salt
and papricka to taste.
Any kind of meat sandwich is great
ly improved by laying very thin slices
of cucumber on just before serving.
Radi res cut thin may be used in the
same way.
Radish and watercress sandwiches
are delicious "appetizers;" dip the
slices of radish in French dressing, put
in two or three bits of watercress and

ABOUT LIONS.

There is another peculiar thing
about lions" said the trainer, and
that is that they will not eat the flesh
of a fowl. You might tempt them with
a canvasback duck or the dairtiest
SQUAD, but they would refuse it. This
is a scientific fact. l have tried it
many times. l remember once hav-
ing a swan which had broken its wing.
We killed it, dressed it carefully and
threw it into the cage of the lions,
but they would not touch it, and it
finally had to be taken out and thrown
away.
81 have repeatedly put pigeons alive
into the cage, just to see what they
would do. l have thrown grain down
among the lions and the pigeons have
actually got down and hoped around
the big brutes, even hopping on their
backs, the lions making no attempt
to disturb them, even seeming to en-
joy their companionship.
There is something strange about
this which is rather difficult to ex-
plain. To my mind it argues that a
lion is not brutal in his instincts.
Savage, he undoubtedly is. Fierce at
all times, but fierce with justice. l
believe every one of my lions has a
conscience; l know that every one of
them knows the difference between
right and wrong; they know their
wondrous power and are charitable.
They would never attempt to injure
anything that in no way could do
them harm.
"The study of a lion, his habits.
character and capabilities, is one of
the most interesting / know. 1t Of
fers a field as yet comparatively un-
known, but the more one goes into it,
the more. time one takes to find out
just what a lion is, the more he is
convinced that he has rightly been
named the king of beasts"

To Take Impressions of Leaves.

This is a most fascinating occupa-
ton, although at this time of year
there is not a very wide field for such
pastime. Procure some lamp-black
and linseed oil at any colorman's, and
mix the two together until of a
greasy consistency.
Now make a small pad with a piece
of chamois leather, dip it into the
mixture and apply it very lightly to
the under part of the leaf; take great
care not to apply it too thickly, and
rub off any superfluous black. Place
the leaf so treated between two
sheets of white paper, and lay an
other over all and rub firmly, being
careful not to shift the paper. If the
impression is a trif.e blurred, repeat
on clean paper and a clear impress
sica will be the result.

A Ducks Nest.

Boil, chill and halve the eggs. Set
the yolks in a bowl, and the bowl,
covered, in boiling water at the side
Of the range. With a thin, keen blade
shred the whites into imitation straw,
and arrange them in the shape of a
nest on a hot platter. Season with
salt and white pepper, butter abun-
dainty, cover and set in the oven.
Now and then butter again, lest they
dry and shrivel.
Work the pounded yolks into a
paste with an equal quantity of
minced cold duck (or turkey. Moist
en- well with butter and bind with a
beaten raw egg. Make into oval balls
to initiate eggs; arrange within the
fence of shredded whites; pour over
all a cupful of rich drawn butter, and
set, covered, in the oven for ten min

At the end of 20 minutes he held up
his hand.

with brown cap will step from the
line; he will be your captain"
The boy with the brown cap was
Willie Jackson.

one who carries a broom handle. They

vice to obey orders. Luke Edwards

Bore of Shotgun.

To the word bore" when used to
tell the gauge of shotguns, there at,
taches an interesting bit of history.
In the days when the rifle balls were
spherical and long, cylindrical, conf
cal-headed bullets and rif1ed barrels
were undreamed of, the gunsmith
adopted a curious but convenient
method of designating the gauge or
diameter of the bore. He expressed
it by stating how many bullets, of
the size that would fit a particular
musket, would go to make a pound.
Thus. a ten-bore musket would be
one of such a bore that ten of its bull
let's would go to make a pound
weight; a 16-bore gun would be one
whose bullets would run l6 to the
pound, and so On. Hence, the anon
ally that the larger denomination mus
ket has the smaller bore.

coIored Collars and Cuffs.

Colored collars and cuffs are popular
cloth being used if they are red and
velvet If they are blue or black. But
tons are made of the material-it usu-
ally is suiting in light tans, creams
and grays-and the rims are chosen to
match the collars and cuffs. Red is
popular here as elsewhere and red
cheviot is prominent among wool
coats. The most practical fashion
that the small girl has borrowed from
her elders is that of wearing turn
back pique collars and cuffs over her
coats. The cuffs especially are the
vulnerable part, and here using wash
things as far as possible prevails.

1t was on the evening of March IS.
1881, that William Herschel, at Slough.
England, discovered a new planet.
Wishing to pay a compliment to
George III, his patron, he gave it the
name of Georgium Sidus, or the
Georgian star. Other English astrono-
mers wishing to compliment the dis
coverer himself, suggested the name
of Herschel. Continental astronomers
proposed that the old neurological
system be followed and the name OK
Uranus was accepted by the scientific
world as the designation Of the sew

Removing Stains.

A correspondent signing herself
patriotic wants to know how to re-
move the stain from red, white and
blue bunting from a table cloth.
If boiling it or pouring boiling water
through the stain does not remove it,
get some javelle water from the drug
store and try that.
But boiling, not hot water, usually
removes stains that are made by wa
ter striking a color that runs and all
kinds of fruit stains. Of course, the
spots are much easier removed if the
boiling water is used right after the
stain is made. Otherwise the colors
become set and it takes more time and
patience.

Burnina Old Papers.

It is often difficult to dispose of old
papers for, if burned, they are apt to
be carried blazing up the chimney and
set it alight. To destroy them with
out danger, roll the papers up lightly,
wind them round with wire, and then
place them lengthways in the crate.
Thus they will consume slowly like
a log, an perfectly safely. The same
wire will do duty again and again.
