BEST USE OF SPAGHETTI.
Proper Way of Preparing the Delight
full TimbaIes.

Spaghetti Timbales - Boil three
ounces of spaghetti in sailed water.
Do not break it to make it go into the
pan, but when the water boils fast
take part of the spaghetti in the hand
and hold the ends in the water, allow
ing it, as it softens, to gently slide
into the water. 1t will soften almost
at once, and may in this way be quite
easily managed.
Boil for about 25 minutes, or until
il is just soft, but be sure it does
not, lose shape. Then drain it, rinse
in cold water and spread it out at
full length to cool. Butter literally
some small molds and line them with
the spaghetti, beginning at the middle
of the bottom of the molds and coil
ing it up the sides.
Fill the centers with a mixture OF
pounded raw chicken or veal mixed
with a nicely seasoned sauce, and add
n whole egg for every two of the
molds. Cover with creased paper and
surround with boiling water to one
third their depth. Steam for half an
hour, but do not allow the water to
boil fiercely. Turn out gently and
serve hot. The filling may be varied
according to circumstances, and cook
ed poultry may be used if more con-
venient.

CARE OF WICKER FURNITURE.
varnIsh Mus. Be Removed Before Il
10 EnameIed.

II wicker furniture has been var
nished 1t will not take enamel without
removing the varnish. Pour boiling
water. with a little washing soda in 1T.
over and through the wicker work for
at least ten minutes; let 1t dry, go
over 1t with a flannel wet in either
turpentine or naphtha. Leave in the
air and next day rub down with sand
paper. Wicker. rush and bamboo
things are better dyed than painted.
Imprinted wood or raw wicker can
be dyed almost any color with good
domestic dyes. Red is particularly eff
fective. Wet the surface to be dyed
with clear hot water before dyeing.
The wetting makes it take color even
ly. For white enamel a clean dry sur
face is requisite.
The finish coat should be thicker
than rich cream and put on very
smooth. Give two coats of the white
varnish. rub down with sandpaper and
finish with oil applied with a silk swab
and rubbed to a high polish.
Sun-faded spots in stained wood, as
a floor or window casing, can be re-
stored thus: Cover the spot with a
folded cloth wet in benzine or turpen-
tine, let it lie an hour, then rub owe
with alcohol and wash with strong
soda water about blood warm.
This takes off the old varnish. Stain
afresh, taking care that the new color
goes out quite to the old; let dry, re.

reaches the ears Of missionary, trader,
or white official, seated on the YER
anda of his bungalow.
Only too well these men know what
that sound means. Just outside the
village, and on the bank OF the river,
are staked enclosures within which
the women may do such washing as
is necessary, and hither, too, all mem
bers of the family resort for GOODNESS
rather than cleanliness.
The sole purpose of these enclosures
is to keep out the c~rocodiles. But
these hideous and artful creatures
will push the wattles or twigs to one
side with powerful snout and jaw
and crawl inside the enclosure, there
to lie in wait for some unsuspecting
visitor. Women, perhaps, form the
greatest number of victims, because
they frequently go down to the river
to draw water.
Can you imagine the scene at sun
set? The great river flows silently by
the village Of huts, lost in the prime
val Jungle. Very queer and quaint the
dwellings look, resembling big, brown
mushrooms, rather than houses.

a treetop, and in it a savage sentinel

Hours pass in silence, broken only
by the scream of parrots, the chatter
ing of monkeys or the thud, thud OF
the elephant pads in the swamp be-
yond the cane brake. Suddenly with
a swish and a swirl the head of the
crocodile comes awash, and the rep
tile crawls cautiously forth.
There is a flash of fame from a rifle
barrel, a sharp report and a nickel
coated bullet goes through the croco-
dies eye and into his brain. He shiv-
ers convulsively, turns partly over;
two more flashes and then all is still.
With a joyous shout the relatives
and friends of the victim leap out
from concealment and fall upon the
common enemy. They abuse the dead
crocodile with every harsh word in
their vocabulary, beat him On his ar

cestors for generations back.

CONNECTICUT CANINE A HERO.
Catches Runaway Horses and Drives
Them Back to Owner.

Winsted, Conn.-Returning from
Torrington the other night, William
Martinez, a cigar manufacturer, and
his wife were thrown from their
sleigh upon a snow bank when their
horses took fright at an approaching
train.
Their spaniel dog, tied in the sleigh,
broke loose and brought the runaWays
back to their owners Is minutes later.
The dog had grabbed the dangling
reins in it's teeth, turned the horses
round, and jumped to the sleigh seat,
where it sat with the reins still in it's
mouth when the team was returned
to Mr.. and Mrs. Martinez.
The home of the late Helen M.
Whitney, in West Sheffield, Mass, was
destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of
5000. Charles Cornell, superintend-
ent of the Berkshire Hills company,
who occupied the house, was awaken
ed by his bulldog, which was standing
over him, barking, licking his face,
and gently biting him.
The room was filled with smoke,
and the fire burned fiercely. At first
he was unable to move, and the dog
tugged away at the bed clothing in an
endeavor to arouse it's master. With
considerable difficulty Cornell CROPPED
his way to a window, which he forced
open, and with the dog crawled out.
He only saved four pieces of silver,
wedding presents. Mrs. Cornell was
away on a visit.

sJockadeu and Ienced village, and q
white man might drift down the
stream and not suspect human habi-
tations at all were it not for the gentle
smoke wreaths, curling up among the
giant cottonwoods.
Toward evening a procession OF
women and girls make their way down
to the enclosures with huge jars up
on their heads or under their arms,
much as you have see in Bible pic
lures. They wade out into the water.
Suddenly Il gives a gasp and a
scream. A scaly head energies from
the brownish yellow fluid, and like a
flash the victim is dragged under. The
whirling eddies are tinged with Grim
son and then all is still.
The monster holds his victim under
water for four or five minutes until
every movement has ceased. Then
the crocodile-he is probably Is feet
in length-swims to the other j OF
the river, or at all events higher up
past the village, lands with the body
and proceeds to devour 1t.
After such an occurrence, says the
New York Sun, the white man is ap-
pealed to, for native spears and bows
and arrows are feeble weapons against
the scaly hide of the monster.

A Rainy Day Luncheon.

This is certainly a seasonable func-
ton for this month, and it was liter
ally what the title says, for the host
ess said she wanted eight of her most
intimate friends to luncheon the first
rainy day and when that day arrived
she telephoned to these eight expect
ant guests and they all reported with
alacrity. The centerpiece was a white
parasol, the handle imbedded in a low
mound of daffodil and ~violets, ice was
concealed in perforated tin box COW
ers under the vines up under the UNI
brella and dripped in tiny rain drops
on the flowers below, much to the de-
light of the guests, who said they had
anticipated something original, but not
real showers producing flowers" on
the spot.

Striped Serqes.

Most attractive among the new suit
materials are the striped serges in
both fine and heavy weaves The
white serge suit, which enjoyed such
a vogue last summer, will be more
than eve popular, and in addition
many interesting stripes are shown.
One of these, which is particularly
~coollooking, is Of a very heavy white
serge and has a quarter of an inch
broken stripes in a warn gray at in
tervals of half on inch apart. Another
very fine white serge has alternate
half-inch stripes of navy blue and gray
betw cen white spaces of equal width.
Pin lines in red on a white ground are
in favor once more, sometimes SO
close as to look almost like the old
fashioned mint stick. again a half inch

A White Bedroom.

Few women realize the possibilities
from an artistic point of view of the
common, cheap, u~nbleached muslin,
though most of us realize it's dura-
bility.
A young girl has just finished doing
over a room that had to be done with
in a given sum, and that a small one.
The chairs are of willow, which she
painted an ivory white to match the
woodwork.
Her walls she covered with a paper
in the same tone, relieved by trailing
pale pink roses, marking it off in
panels. -
But the browning glory was the cur
tains of u~nbleached muslin that hung
in straight folds at the sides with
a deep valance across the top.
The unusual feature of the curtains
consisted of the vine matching the
wallpaper and cut from cretcnne that
bordered all the edges. This applied
border was basted carefully into place
and then stitched on the machine.

BILE to have a number made over en-
tirely different designs.
On account of it's extreme simplicity
shadow embroidery has become a
great favorite as a decoration for
aprons.
A very attractive little apron, the
only one of it's kind | have seen, was
fashioned of pale pink batiste en-
broidered in an encircling wreath OF
daisies done in white. The edge was
scalloped and edged with Valen-
ciennes lace.
Colored mercerized cottons are also
used on white grounds. A pretty n
was embroidered in ~golden-hued chry-
santhemums with green leaves. The
all-white apron, however, is some
times preferred.
French or padded embroidery makes
a very charming decoration, especially
when combined with eyelet work.
Venetian cut-out lattice work on
heavy linen makes a substantial look
ing apron, especially when the lattice
effects are taken up well into the body
of the work, or used al borders.
Something unique is an apron OF
white cotton voile embroidery in an
antique cross pattern. Russian drawn
work on linen and Russian cross
stitch, too, offer pleasing possibilities
for the needlewoman.
Peasant aprons are extremely fash
ionable.
When a woman has neither the time
nor inclination to hand-embroider an
apron she may fashion the most envi-
able little affairs from remnants OF
dress goods, Powered dimities, organ
dies, polka dotted o. embroidered
swisses, batistes, linens, china silks,
pongee or even taffeta.
The sketch may be fashioned OF
sheer or heavy material, decorated
with Mechlin, Valenciennes or linen
Torchon, a lace, by the way, that
proves it's durability for all tubable
things.

To Remove Paint from Muslin.

Soak the spots in a strong solution
of soda and water for "a hours. At the
end of this time the paint will often
have disappeared, but if it has not, wet
the material in turpentine and lay in
the sun for several hours. Wet again
and repeat this until every trace of
the paint is removed. Green paint
seems especially hard to remove, but
eff at first you don't succeed, try, try,
again. as l did when my daughter,
in a fresh white dress, ran against a
newly painted screen door, and had
entire success. This sounds as if l
meant she had success in covering
herself with paint, which she did, but
the GROWING success was mine in re-
moving the paint by using the above
process.-The Housekeeper.
