100000 telephone stations in the
world. A statistical review of the tel
ephone industry gives this astound-
ing fact and also states that there are
over 100000 miles of wire. Two
thirds of the telephones and wire
mileage are in the United States. The
telephone business is put in the third
rank among this countrys industries,
putting it on the basis of per capita
investment 1t is slightly exceeded by
the iron and steel and the foundry and
machine interests. In Europe. Ger
many leads all other countries in the
number of stations. boasting some
100000. Los Angeles, Cal, leads the
world in the number of telephone SUBJ
scribers to population. Stockholm,
Sweden, runs a close second. The tel
ephone investment of the world on
January /, 1910, amounted to $780,
coo 900. and the telephone conversa-
tions for last year numbered 19,000,-
100000. We in the United States used

Ideas for Porch, Garden, Excursion
and Picnic Parties.

and Picnic Parties.
This is the heyday of the picnic
season. when we flee to the woods If
we can; If not we satisfy ourselves
with a day in the park, supper on
the beach, or a quiet porch party at
home.
The really enjoyable affairs are
those arranged without much prepa-
ration.
Wooden plates. aluminium forks.
spoons and cups are not expensive
and tighten the weight of the picnic
basket Paper napkins will be
found to answer every purpose and
are a great saving when laundry
work bust be considered. As these
outings are for special rest and
health, care should be taken to pro-
vide only easily digested foods. es-
| pecially where there are children.
Older people may indulge in fancy
dishes and highly seasoned salads,
/ but the children should be spared A
cheap chatting dish is a convenience
in which one may prepare Clipped
| beef, creamed; creamed eggs or
rarebit These. with bread and but
ter sandwiches, a simple salad and
coffee, make a pleasant first course,
Fruit alone may follow as dessert.
Sandwiches are in endless variety
these days. Chopped meat or fish
rubbed to a paste with cream, butter
or mayonnaise dressing and spread
on thin slices of either brown or
white bread, make a nOurishtng,
wholesome sandwich.
Sandfiches should be wrapped in
waxed paper Salad sandwiches are
nice only when fresh, as standing
only an hour will spoil their crisp
ness and make them unpalatable.
Fruits are always acceptable both as
food and drink. They quench the
| thirst and satisfy the hunger without
adding burden to the body. The salts
and acids they contain cool and thin
/ the blood.
Tomatoes are easily carried and
served on lettuce make pleasant
addition to a meat sandwich.
/ Water is the best, most wholesome
and cheapest drink. Lenondue Is d
great fayorite, but should be used
/ sparingly if serving other fruit in
quantity. The lemon juice may be
/ extracted and carried in a bottle.
Garden and porch parties differ
/ from picnics in both arrangements
and serving. The kitchen being with
/ in easy reach, dainty entrees. salads
and ices are possible to serve. One
! large table may be arranged on the

If hot dishes are to be served the
/ preparations may be made early in
the day. Croquettes and outlets may
/ be fried. placed on a paper in the
oven and reheated in a few minutes

Cold dishes like pressed chicken,

may be nicely served by a single
