ABOUT TABLE LINEN.

Now to Select the Most Economical
Lengths.
In selecting tablecloths 1t is more
satisfactory to get the seventy-two
inch width, which gives a generous
fall Of sixteen inches or so at the
sides, which dresses q table better
than the narrower widths. Two and
one-half yards is q very good measure
for general use, very convenient size
for small company requiring an ex-
tra leaf. Three and one-half yards are
required for an extended table, to
drape over the ends and correspond
with the sides.
In hemming tablecloths a double
hemstitch above an inch and a half
wide hem makes very fine finish.
The ends must be cut by the thread to
make the hem true. With napkins to
correspond and finished in the same
way this makes very fine table set
IL the linen is fine and heavy, with
pretty pattern. If the hemstitch is
thought to be too elaborate, the so
called French hem at the ends does
very nicely. Turning a half inch hem
neatly and folding back, sew a fine
over and over stitch.
The care Of table linen is of great
Importance II one would have the ta-
BILE arrayed at Its best. There must
be pure white cloth without blemish
Or wrinkle, with satiny finish and with
as few folds as possible. A very good
way to wash napkins and tablecloths
for this effect is to first pour slowly
stream Of boiling water over stains
and then let them soak In good suds
made with white laundry soap for an
hour, then lightly rub out and just
scald in clear soft water, rinse in q
light bluing water and during the
whole process wiring by hand instead
of by wringer to avoid the wrinkles
that are so hard to press out. Do not
starch; stretch evenly and hang
straight on the line to dry.
In ironing the linen must be evenly
and very well dampened. Fold the
tablecloth from side to side just once
and press dry from end to end on both
sides. This will give the satin finish
Fold together sidewise once more and
press both sides carefully, then fold
lengthwise us little as possible to lay
in your sideboard drawer for linen.
To avoid the least folds some get
boards, such as are used for dress
goods, and wind their long tablecloths
smoothly over them, giving them the
appearance Of new linen, says the

Country News and Views,


The government is developing the
Morgan horse at the breeding estab-
lishment at Waybridge, VT
The American mule is said to be
worth $416,939,OOO, for it is claimed
that it is comparatively immune from
disease and is not susceptible to con-
tagion.
The Kansas experiment station has
realized $11.90 per acre from rape pas
ture and $24.10 from alfalfa pasture
in ninety-eight days. These results
were obtained from experiments which
were begun July 25 and concluded
Oct. 81.
TO keep up the fertility of the soil it
is imperative that the orchards be lib
orally fertilized. Both mineral and
vegetable fertilization is necessary. A
crop of apples will remove considera-
bly, more potash from the soil than will
a crop of wheat. To produce trees re-
quires large quantities Of both vegeta-
BILE and mineral matters. Unleached
wood ashes are excellent.
Horses that are idle in the winter
should not be fed much feed that is
rich in nitrogen-as, for instance, clover
hay. If horse does not receive regu-
lar exercise he cannot assimilate such
feeds, and consequently the system be-
comes clogged and the disease known
as azoturia takes place. Horses to
keep in good condition should have
daily work or exercise.

1t may be filed with gravel, etc., until
the gate is slightly the heavier and so
that slight pull will cause it to fold
back in place.
1t may be necessary where unruly
stock is kept to set two posts for the
gate to shut between, in order to keep
them from pushing through. The post
for the weight may be bolted to two
ordinary fenceposts, or they may be
full length, but in either case they
should be set well into the ground.
The grooved wheel over which the
rope works may be secured from al
most any pile of old scrap iron, or, If
one cannot be found, make it Of wood
by saving three wheels and having
one slightly smaller than the others.
Nail them together, with the small
wheel in the center. This forms a
f1ange that will hold the rope in place.

A RISING AND FOLDING GATE.

Easily Constructed, inexpensive and
Operated by a Balance Weight.
A gate that will rise or fold has its
advantages. One may be constructed
without much expense.
The gate should be braced both ways
and made of good, clear lumber. The
balance weight may be hung with a
wire rope or a one-half inch cotton
rope. However, IL cotton, hemp or
sisal Is used the rope should have
close attention, that It does not in
some manner become worn or cut. The
weight may be made in several ways,
the best and least expensive perhaps
being slim galvanized iron bucket.

Method For Curing Hams.

The following mSthod of curing
hams and bacon has been used in a
Missouri family for many years: For
an eighteen or twenty pound ham
mix dessertspoonfu1 Of saltpeter with
one fourth or one third pound of
brown sugar and rub well into the
flesh side Of the ham. Pack in tubs or
boxes and cover the flesh side well
with fine salt Allow the meat to re-
main in the boxes from four to six
weeks. Small hams or pieces may be
removed in four weeks time. Lift
out and rub all salt Off ana cover wen
with good ground black pepper. Be
sure to put plenty Of pepper around
the bone. Let hang for two or three
days to dry ana smoke for six or
eight weeks You win not only have
very fine Favored meat, but It will not
have to be bagged. To make Missis-

ing that night for the younger sets,
and Selwyn, too, seemed to take un-
usual interest in the discussion, though
Eileen's part in the conference was
limited to an occasional nod or mono
syllable
Drina was wild to go and furious at
not having been asked, but when Boots
offered to stay home she resolutely re-
fused to accept the sacrifice.
"No," she said; "they are pigs not to
ask girls of my age, but you may go,
Boots, and I'll promise not to be un-
happy"
Mrs. Gerard gave the rising signal,
and Selwyn was swept away in the
rushing herd of children out on the
veranda, where for awhile he smoked
and drew pictures for the younger &C.
rards. Later some of the children were
packed off for a nap; Billy with his as
sorted puppies went away with Drina
and Boots, ever hopeful of a fox or
rabbit; Nina Gerard curled herself up
In hammock, and Selwyn seated him
self beside her, an uncut magazine on
his knees. Eileen had disappeared.

among the cushions in the swinging
seat, was reading aloud evidences Of

THE LATEST GAME.
Suspense, and It Promises to Become
Very Popular.

Very Popular.
Suspense is the name Of new game
which promises to be popular. An en-
terprising girl introduced it recently at
a party, and it scored an immediate
hit. 1t was played something like this:
One Of the guests entered the parlor
with manuscript, which he asked
the company to listen to while he
read
james Harrigan. coal baron, frown-
ed when he looked up from his pa
pers to find Albert Percival Duval be-
fore him." the guest read.
"I tell you, young man, it's no use.
and l don't want to discuss it. Be-
fore I'd let you marry Phyllis
"'Don't say anything you'll regret
later the young man interrupted, fac
ing the older man with Il steely glare,
because I'm going to marry her any
way in spite of YOU
FOR minute Harrigan lost his
temper. Get out of my office, you
impertinent puppy, or Ill throw you
outv
For answer Albert only stepped
over to the door, slammed it shut,
drove the key home and locked it.
Then he turned to face the angry mill
lionaire.
"In place Of the imperturbable man
of business he saw the Harrigan who
used to be pit boss. Harrigan jumped to
his desk. pulled out a drawer and drew
cleaning six shooter. a move and
you're dead man. he started to say.
But Duval as he turned from the
door had seized heavy bronze ink
well from the secretary's desk. Quick
as a flash he threw it. The heavy
missile struck the revolver just as
IIarrigan brought it to cover his OPP
ponent.
with muttercd curses the two men
came together. Weaponless. brute
strength against brute strength, they
struggled and writhcd. Slowly. mcr
cilessly, Harrigans fingers frightened

Recovering from their surprise. the
guests got busy. Some had serious
answers. others laughable ones. The
prize for the best answer was a copy
of one of the six best thrillers." The
sequel that won it ran like this:
Just as James IIarri@an WAS crush

he stopped, gasped and released his
hold. The younger mans coat had
come open. On the waiStcoat cleaned

"Why. you're a fraternity brother of
