Embrolderino Initials on Linen.

Every one who embroiders knows
that II 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 nap
kin, tablecloth, or lunch cloth 1t 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
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 din.
Guilty in keeping the material on the
rings.

LUNCHEON OR SUPPER DISH.
JelIled Vegetables a Pleasing Accom-
paniment to Meat.

Jellied vegetables are particularly
suitable for a luncheon or supper
dish to be served as an accompani-
ment to almost any kind OF cold sliced
meat. Remove the jelly to serving
dish 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 II that the
closet can boast of sharp knives. for
without them the work cannot be per-
fectly done. Soak one tablespoonful
OF granulated gelatine in one-fourth
Of 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-half cupful OF
finely shredded cabbage and one and
one-half canned pimentoes, cut In
small pieces. Turn into a mold and
chill thoroughly.-Wo Home

Until recently the demands OF fash
ranks. Thousands upon thousands OF
screech and saw-whet owls and not a
few OF the larger species were sacri-
feed to meet the millinery demand.
There was a protest made against the
slaughter of the creatures. but II was
met by the dealers statements that
owls were injurious birds and that for
everyone killed the world was so much
the better off. Fashion, with those
whose livelihood depends on 1t, Is
ever ready with falsehood. 1t Is easy
to quiet the conscience Of woman
and especially easy if her heart be set
upon a hat. Science set to work to
refute fashions statements and did 1t
successfully. II is fortunate for the
owls that science is not necessarily
compelled to slaughter them In order
to find out what they eat.
Like the hawks the owls capture
their prey with their powerful talons.
If the quarry be small 1t Is swallowed
whole. II large II is torn into pieces
and both the digestible and indigest-
ible parts are taken into the stomach.
Once there the lndigestible portions,
bones feathers and hair, form into
hard round pellets, which the owl
elects through the mouth. When one
OF the birds roosting places Is found
these pellets cover the ground beneath
the perch and II takes but short ex-
animation to determine what the bird
has eaten. A pair of barn owls lived
for some time in the tower of the
Smithsonian institution. DR.. A. X
Fisher examined 200 of the elected
food pellets and found in them the
skulls of asa small animals mostly
mice and rats.
The extinction OF the owl family
would remove from the bird world one
of its most interesting and attractive
features. The farmer now is staying
his hand voluntarily, for in the owl
he is recognizing a friend. Fashion
Is staying its hand unwillingly at the
behest of the law and thus setting at
naught mans former belief that fash.
ion was invincible.

The War unon Moths

Alum, according to Adele M. Field.
is a perfect preventive of the ravages
of moths among woolens. While living
in China she gave this method of pro
tecting clothing a thorough test. The
articles should be soaked In a saturat.
ed solution of alum for several hours.
The fabric ia not injured and the col.
ors are not changed. The alum does
not evaporate and the articles thus
treated remain moth-proof for years.
II is suggested that a pound OF crude
alum In four quarts of water would
make an effective solution for employ
ment by manufacturers OF woolen
cloth, rugs and carpets.

FOR USE IN GARNISHlNG.
Plants for Which Room Should Be
Found in the Garden.

Celery tops and parsley are not the
only pleasing garnishing plants, al
though others are not common. Water
cress may be grown in the garden
without running water, and pepper
grass. chervil and burnet are graceful
and attractive. One row In the gar
den may profitably be made up OF
garnishing and flavoring plants.
Caraway and coriander seeds are
used in cakes and cookies; dill with
salt as q pickle flavoring. All are
easy to grow from seeds sown in
spring. the crop being harvested the
same or the following year.
The plants should be thinned to six
to ten inches apart in the row. Mus
tard savory and sweet marjoram are
grown from seed. The latter needs
shading while plants are small.
Thyme, sage. spearmint, tarragon
and lavender are invaluable in the
kitchen garden. They are perennials
and, with the exception of tarragon,
all may be grown from seeds, but bet
ter by dividing old plants or by cut
tings.
For drying, leaves should be cut be-
fore the blossoms form.

PROPERLY PREPARED EQqs.

Eggs to boil hard should first be
pierced on large end with needle
to prevent cracking open while boil
ing. Place in boiling water and boil
steadily for Is or 20 minutes. When
done plunge into cold water and let
stand few minutes. Break eggs on
large end and while peeling hold COM
pletely under cold water. IL thor
oughly done they will come out nice
and smooth. Eggs a day or two old
are preferred to fresh laid eggs for
hard boiling.

be printed, Irvine. rope, bagging, ETC..
which are then exported back to the
United States or sold to the Philip
pines.
Germany also utilizes vast amounts
OF wool waste, which II mixes with
cotton waste in proportions all the way
from 2 to 20 per cent. of wool to SO
and 80 of cotton, in the production of
cheap hosiery, blankets, vigogne yarn.

is to make the finished product re-
semble wool in appearance. the less
the amount of wool used the greater
being the profit. The proportions and
the art OF mixing are kept a secret by
the manufacturers.
The total amount of waste from cot.

$50 pounds, and the amount of exports
of products from the material was
5000. 09S pounds. or these respective

The screech owl (Megascops asio)
Is a mouser of the first order. Ii is
probably the most abundant bird of
the whole own family. Apparently II
Is not afraid OF man. though he often
abuses the confidence which the little
bird shows in him. The screech owl
comes about the house and watches
for the mice which the house cat has
overlooked. II there be an entrance
through the clap boards leading to
some weatherproof nook within, the
little owl will frequently take up his
residence as mans near neighbor.
The screech owl is a destroyer OF
quantities Of insect pests. 1t has
marked fondness for grasshoppers, a
fact which should endear 1t to the
farmer. People are not apt to think
of owls as being insectivorous, but
the smaller ones, like our friend Me-
gascops, not only have keen appetites
for grasshoppers. but they like a des-
sert Of beetles, spiders and at times
worms. Mice are on their daily menu.
and lizards and cray fish do not come
amiss. Occasionally they will eat
song bird or two, but this habit is not
marked.
There is popularity about the
plumage of screech owls. In the same
nest may be found birds differing so
completely in color that it seems al.
most impossible that they should be
children of the same parents. The
popularity exists even more striking.
ly In the adults. Some of the birds
are gray and others are bright brown.
almost red in fact, and between the
extremes of coloration there are to
be found specimens whose plumage
varies between the two hues. For
years it was believed that the gray
and the red owls formed two distinct
species. The great ornithologists,
Audubon, Wilson and Nuttall, treated
the red and gray phases of this bird
as two distinct species. Frank NJ.
Chapman says of this popularity of
the screech owl: This difference in
color is not due to age, sex or sea-
son, and is termed dichromatism or
the presence In the same species OF
two phases OF color. The same phe-
nomenon is shown by other birds,
notably certain herons. and among
mammals by the gray squirrel. some
individuals of which are black"
The saw-whet owl (Nyctala acadica)
is small bird, like its brother the
screech owl, and to the unfamiliar
eye is not unlike him in its plumage.
Ordinarily, however, the saw-whet
shuns mans company. The blacker
the woods the better this little night
hunter likes them for his day time re-
treat. He Is an inveterate mouser and
he hunts his quarry on noiseless wing
from sunset to sunrise. This owl re-
celved its name, saw-whet, from the
popularity of it's note which is sup
posed to resemble the noise made by
the filing OF saw. The name does
injustice to the quality of the birds

love is afoot," the notes are not un.

does not care for mans company. Oc-
casionally he forgets his dislike, or
his fear whichever 1t is, and comes
into the great cities. His urban resi-
dence is confined principally to the
winter time when mice are hard to be
found In the fields and when the null
titude Of English sparrows in the city
streets offers a temptation too strong
to be resisted.

AS the schools were due to re-
open for the fall term this morn
ing, immediate action was neces-
sary and City Commissioner
OBrien at once notified DR.. Allen,
president of the school board, of
the works boards action. An in
formal meeting of the school
board, City Commissioners Wetzel
and iWtherspoon, and Mayor
Moore was held last night at the
Elks' drugstore, when the situa-
ton was discussed in detail.
President Allen. of the school
board, reported that he had been
advised by Prosecuting Attorney
Barnhart to reopen the schools
and proceed regardless of the or
der of the board of works. After
some discussion, in which the
fact that the school corporation
would sustain loss of $4,000 per
day If the schools closed seemed
to have great weight, the school
board concluded to stand pat.
And that, when the weather be,
comes colder and the buildings
are heated, is merely a matter of
money against risk of life.
The claim by some members OF
the school board that the action
of the board of works was hasty
and i'll advised is shown to have
no force from the fact it is now
five months since the ordinance
for fire escapes was passed and
that the school board delayed in
letting it's contracts when II
should have made haste.
Individual members of the
school obard have made assur
ances that all would be in readi
ness for the reopening of the
schools, and members of the board
of works were of the impression
that the improvement would be
made ON time.
The ordinance that precipitated
the controversy was passed after
the terrible Collinswood, O., disas
ter of last spring, in which several
children lost their lives in a fine
panic in a public school building
The ordinance was passed April 4
and signed by Mayor Moore two
days later.
The ordinance provides that
every school over one story In
height shall have steel or wrought
iron stairway fire escapes from
the hall exits. such fire escapes
not to be less than three feet wide
and to extend to the ground level
from a platform or balcony. 1t Is
required that such platform shall
be not less than three feet In

width by five in length, and it shall
be protected by at least two guard
rails. The board of works shall
specify the character of all fire
escapes to be built within the city
| and shall pass upon the acceptable
ity of all such fire escapes when
| erected.
The penalty provided is a fine
not to exceed 500, to which impris-
onment may be added In the city
Jail for a period not to exceed 80
days. or either punishment may be
imposed.
Fifteen buildings fail to comply
with this ordinance, and on account
of the boards delay in letting con-
tracts cannot be equipped before
December 1.
Notwithstanding the urgency of
the case and legal regulations, the
| board extended the contractors
| time on request.
What the fire board has wanted
to do. was throw the responsibility
onto ne school board; it has done
it now and ought to be satisfied"
declared Secretary e. A. Thomas
of the school board this morning.
He says that yesterday was the
first Official" notice the school
board ever had of the regulations
proposed by the fire commission.
1.-THE fire commission" says
Thomas, decided upon these regu-
lations before the ordinance was
passed, but never notified the
school board. The board Is not
disposed to disregard the regula-
tions but favors them, only We
must have time to put them into
effect. 1t will probably he 60 days
before the stairways, which were
ordered of the Portland boiler
works, are ready for installation. "
Opinion differs as to the school
boards desires. About two months
ago The Press was informed by
Zach Stewart, one of the directors,
that it was the boards intentions
to only obey the fire commission S
orders in part. When 1t became too
late to get the new fire escapes in
time for school opening, the direc-
tors ordered about $4,000 worth
of escapes.
The board contemplates letting
contracts for school recently com
pleted later. but K, A. Thomas does
not know how soon.
When the board asked for the
bond issue one of it's arguments
was that about $4,000 was needed
for fire escapes. 1t practically prom
Used to expend that sum on escapes.
Mr.. Thomas this morning said
there was no particular estimate
stated.
