story of the Life and Services sf the Last of one of the Great Fana-
 flies of Early nays.

It is sweet thought the thought of immortality--the belief that death is the beginning of still more glort- ous existence. Coupled with this thought Is the instinctive desire on the part of human nature to be re- membered by the living after the soul passes to the realms of life and light eternal. It Is this desire that makes the philanthropist more generous, the soldier more brave, the wise more learned and the good more just.
 Embalmed in the hearts of thou sands of Alabamians, is the life and character of the late Judge Dan Cor don of Abbeville. His great soul winged it's flight to eternity on April 19, 1907.
 Judge Gordon came of honorable and honored percentage. His grand father Gordon. of Washington county. Georgia, died in the military service of his country, in the war of 1872. Judge Gordon's father. General Alex ander c. Gordon, was born in Geor- gia. September 2s, 1911, and in 1817, he came with his uncle, James Hughes. across the Chattahoochee. to what Is

MUST BE SERVED HOT.
Important Point to Remember About
the Meal.

However simple a meal may be,
there should be no halfway work
about food that is to be served hot.
Fish, like soup, cannot be served too
hot, and roast meat should sizzle as
the knife makes the first incision.
Nothing is appetizing when luke.
warm. Among meats lamb. suffers
most by being carelessly served. It
ia simply spoiled unless served
cracking hot. If the kitchen range
has no plate-warmer, put thick pa.
per on the back of the range, or on
the bottom of the oven, IL that is not
in use. and set the dishes to be used
on the paper, which will prevent their
being cracked by the heat. Vegetable
dishes and sauce tureens can be
filled with hot water while the vege.
tables are being prepared. Above all
things serve gravies as hot as posi-
ble, taking them from the fire the
very last thing.

erecaution Worth Remembering.
There are people who say that they
never can enjoy hot bath because
the hot water always makes them
faint. This trouble. according to q
writer. may be remedied by the sim.
pie expedient of placing towel which
has been wrung out in cold water on
the head and retaining it there until
the bath is over. 1t is possible that
cases of drowning have occurred as
result of faintness while in the bath,
80 that this precaution becomes advis.
able.

Samoan National Beverage.
"A quaint feature of Samoan life is
kava drinking. This beverage is
made from the root of the angona
shrub. which. being pounded and
mixed with water. ferments and forms
a mild intoxicant. It tastes like soap
suds and ginger ale mixed. and the
relish has to be acquired. 1t Is drunk
with solemnities at meetings of chiefs
and at conferences generally, its alb
sorption being governed by strict
rules Of etiquette. It must not be
slipped. but swallowed at gulp. as an
American cowboy assimilates his
whisky.

Embroiderina Table Linen.

All household linen in homes Of
wealth, or where the housewife is ex-
pert with the needle, is marked with
embroidered monograms or initials,
preference being given to the English
open-work embroidery or the French
seeded. At present tablecloths are
marked with two monograms, one at
either end, or diagonally at opposite
corners. Where the napkins shall be
marked is a matter Of individual pref
erence, dependent upon the way in
which the napkin is to be folded. The
most common way is to mark them
diagonally in the center of the last
square when the napkin is folded. For
napkins the size of the letters is usual
>ly one or one and a quarter of an
inch. For tablecloths they are from
three to eight inches in diameter.
