A True Story.

"On my travels in Venezuela" said
New York man, II stayed In q hotel
with a young man In whose family
there was the faint OF leprosy, though
he apparently did not have II. One
night sitting 1T dinner he became
angry at a waiter and brought his
hand down on the table with full force.
He instantly realized that he did not
feel the blow, and sat looking at his
hand, his face whitening with horror.
Give me your knife, Bob he said to
his chun. He grabbed the pocket
knife in q frenzy and stabbed the side
OF his hand with vicious cuts from
finger tip to wrist You may not know
that leprosy appears IN the side Of the
hand, numbness being . sign. The
man did not feel the cuts. He arose
from the table. knocking over his
chair, rushed out into the courtyard
Of the hotel, and we heard the quick
tang Of a revolver shot, telling Us how
he had conquered the lepers curse by
ending his life"

LUNCHEON OR SUPPER DISH.
Ieilisd Vegetables Pleasing Accom-

Jellied vegetables are particularly
suitable for a luncheon or supper
cish to be served as an accompani-
ment to almost any kind of cold sliced
meat. Remove the jelly to a serving
dlsh and surround with the slices OF
meat overlapping one another; then
garnish with celery tips Cold meat
needs to be very thinly sliced to be at
its best, therefore do see TO it that the
closet can boast of sharp knives, for
without them the work cannot be per-
fectly done. Soak one tablespoonful
OF graduated gelatine in one-fourth
of a cupful of cold water and dissolve
in one cupful of boiling water: then
add one-fourth Of a cupful each Of
sugar and vinegar, two tablespoonfuls
OF lemon juice and one teaspoonful OF
salt. Strain, cool and when beginning
to stiffen add one cupful of celery cut
in small pieces. one-haf cupful of
tinely-shredded cabbage and one and
one-half canned pimentoes, cut in
small pieces. Turn into a mold and

The plants should be thinned to six

EmbroI6srIna Initials on Linen.

Every one who embroiders knows
that 1t is absolutely impossible to EN-.
broider initials without placing the
article to be embroidered on the en-
broidery rings. When the initial or
monogram is in the corner Of a nap
kin, tablecloth, or lunch cloth It is
difficult to stretch the narrow margin
over the rings and make 1t snug and
tight enough.
Where two pieces are to be en-
broidered bring the pieces end to end
and whip them over and over. and
then place them in the embroidery
rings. The article can be held in a
firm position and the work can be
done more easily and quickly When
four corners, such as four napkins,
are to be embroidered bring the four
corners to a point and stitch the sides
firmly. There will then be no diff.
Guilty in keeping the material on the
rings.
