cleaning process, so WASH the SeaWeeu
through many waters. and look 1t over
very carefully to remove every par

A few varieties Of limu cannot be

pounded. or chopped into small pieces.
and usually 1t is eaten uncooked as
relish with poi. meats or fish. Raw
fish is never eaten without limu or
some other relish. such as raw toma-
toes, chill peppers, or onions.
1t is not probable that raw seaweed
prepared in the usual Hawaiian style
would ever be generally popular with
the American OF European, who nat
urally prefers his own salads and rel
ishes to which he is accustomed.
Even those having the most pleasant
saline flavor and crispness, as limu
kohu, limu manauea, limu huna and
limu pahapaha, or limu lipoa, with Its
peculiar pleasant spiciness have in ad
dition slight flavor that suggests the
sea, to which many people object. II
is only after tasting several times that
many people come to really like the
marine flavor, common to all raw sea
weeds.
Many of the seaweeds, when cooked
in soups, gravies, or with meats or
made into jellies. are entirely free
from this disagreeable or peculiar
flavor If cooked too long, or too
large a quantity is used in the soups
or jellies, the flavor is apt to be
strong, but If used in smaller quaint
ties it is very delicate and pleasant.
The writer has carefully tested
number of species, cooking them In
variety of combinations. They seem
to be equally palatable when used
either fresh or dried The bleached
seaweeds of course make the best ap
pearing jelly and blancmange, and
look best in the soups and stews.
The most attractive and delicately
favored coffee, fruit or other jellies
and blancmange was made by the
writer from the four gelatinous linus
mentioned above. They were equal in
every way to jellies made from the
best gelatins in the market, and in
some ways seemed superior in flavor.
The blancmange could not be distin-
guished from that made with Irish
moss farina or with the whole Irish
moss.

Great Demand for Mirrors.

, The production of metallic mirrors
for searchlights and other such uses
is now In demand in Europe, according
to the London Times. Those made of
glass, now used, are Objectionable ow
ing to their liability to fracture when
the guns are fired on ships, and to
the silvering on the mirrors blistering
and separating from the glass. A new
metallic mirror, partially made by cleo
tro-deposition, is being introduced
The mirror has a surface composed Of
alternating bands or rings of gold and
white rejecting surfaces. 1t is
claimed that this mirror gives a more
penetrating beam of light both at
night and in foggy weather, that OBJ
jects on which such a beam Of light
is thrown stand out in greater relief
than in light thrown from silver
white metal mirror, and that the in
tensity of the light is so great that it
Is impossible to aim accurately at the
protector. Another advantage claimed
for the new mirrors is that they are
not fractured by conclusion, and that
even when penetrated by bullets the
area of distortion is very small.

New Potatoes in England.

Quite the most delicious way OF
cooking new potatoes is to place them
in boiling water with two or three
sprigs of fresh mint. When the pota-
toes have been cooked and drained. a
little melted butter should be poured
over them. The mint adds most del
icate. but not at all on abtrusive
flavor. Instead of trying to peel new
potatoes, the English cook removes
the skins by rubbing them very hard
with an extremely stiff brush. This
leaves them both white and smooth.
and obviates the necessity of peelinG
them after cooking.-The Delineator.

Washing Embroidered Linens.

Embroidered linens should never be
put in with the regular wash. and
should never be entrusted to laun-
dress. They should 1e washed in a
china or earthen bowl to avoid the pos
sibility of any rust. They should be
washed in warm water and the soiled
portions rubbed with pure white soap,
then rubbed between the hands lit

Rinse in clean water and dry by put

and twisting until the moisture is al

face down on clean linen cloth, over

over the embroidered article and iron

iron. Be careful not to press too heav-
fly on the embroidered portion, as this
Is apt to make steam form and will

CHAPTER XIX.
The Escape.

The little county seat awoke in the
morning to strange sight. The
storm had not abated. The wind was
still blowing at blizzard rate of the
northwest hills, and fine, Icy snow was
swirling SO thickly through the cold
air that vision was obstructed. Build
ing were distinguishable only as shad-
ows showing family through heavy
white veil. The thermometer had gone
many degrees below the zero mark. 1t
was steadily growing colder. The old
err inhabitants said it would surely
break the record the coming night.
An immense fire had been built In
the sitting-room. Thither Mary and
Louise repaired. Here they were
Joined by Dale, Langford and Gordon.
You should be out at the ranch
looking after your poor cattle, Mr..
Langford," said Mary, smilingly. She
could be light-hearted now-since lit
tie secret had been whispered to her
last night at tea party where no
tea had been drunk. Langford had
gravitated toward her as naturally
as steel to magnet. He shrugged his
big shoulders and laughed little.
