There are so many varieties Of
sandwich that it would be impossible
to publish the recipes in this column
There are egg sandwiches, of many
kinds. meat and fish sandwiches, mar
malade sandwiches, resembling the
Ibread-and- jam of our childhood days.
cheese sandwiches, peanut butter,
raisin, chocolate, olive, club, nut
ginger, hash, lobster, mint, mutton.

dine, tongue, walnut water cress,
lettuce, and last, but by no means
the least, the good old standby, the
ham sandwich, that the choice almost
embarrasses one by the extravaganza
of its Offering. Sandwiches made of
lettuce, tomatoes, and little minced
onion are deliciously springy and
fresh tasting at a picnic, and may
be freshly made after arrival at the
picnic place. An excellent filing for
brown bread sandwiches is made
from cottage cheese and nut meats
mixed together. The white bread
sandwiches, spread with pimento
cheese are popular, then there are any
numbers of way of minCing ham, with
eggs that have been hard boiled, with
a salad dressing, or with lettuce to
make novel and tasty sandwiches.
The day has passed forever when two
hunks of bread. inclosing slivers or
slices of meat were considered sand
wiches. Now that popular delicacy to
be a success must be made of thin
slices of bread, cut to wafer like thin
ness, and shorn of even the sugges-
tion of crust. The filling may be sim
pie or composite, and the choice for
material is practically. endless.

the roughness is caused by not drying

GALL oF !THE UNION PACIFIC.

A new keynote has been struck,
says a New York dispatch, which
rises above the monotonous humdrum
Of pessimism that has prevailed so
long In the business and financial
world. 1t is like the tinNing OF a
bell at early dawn far up the mist
filled valley, meaning that the herd
is moving and the world has walked
again to life. This sounding note
is the announcement by the Union
Pacific that it will proceed in a large
way to new construction. 1t is not
so much the fact in itself, as that
It comes at a time when the race
Of railroad management for months
has been a steady flight towards
curtailment and economy in every
direction. 1t is as il flying army
had been suddenly halted in retreat
and was forced to face the other way
by bold bugle call. 1t is the in
fIuence Of Hartman, long dead, but
still living in the policies and the
plans Of the great system which he
built up.
These plans contemplate complet-
ing the double tracking Of the Union
Pacific ranscontinental road by the
building Of 1873 miles of main line
at an expense Of rs millions during
five years. Also, expanding further
sums over a period of six years for
the construction of extensions and
new lines tributary to Union and
Southern Pacific; and although the
amount to be expended is not stated,
1t is fair to surmise that another
100 millions will be used.

TIME 10 PLANT SWEET PEAS.
II You Neglected It Last FalI--HOw
to Proceed.

If you neglected to seed your sweet
pea bed last fall, right now is the next
best time-under the conditions.
Know how? There is one way that
Is right--may be others--but this Is
guaranteed If you want a prcfusion
Of bloom and Towering until FROST
comes:
Dig trench in sunny place,
north and south, at least ten feet
long. Take the top course out full
depth Of the spade placing the soil
all on one side. Deepen the trench
another course full depth Of spade,
dumping this earth on the other side
Of the trench. Fill in snugly with
we'll rotted (this is importantly CONF
post to half the depth. Add the top
soil to within five inches Of the sur
face. Plant the peas nearly touch
ing, in two rows at least three inches
apart. Cover with two inches Of soil.
In the spring. when plants are three
or four inches high, fill in with loose
soil nearly to their tops, and continue
at intervals until the trench is Just
slightly conclave.
Sweet peas require lots Of mois-
ture. Your wash water is good for
them; but pour 1t about the roots
never sprinkle the vines. The theory
of the deep compost-filled trench is
that 1t retains moisture that is drawn
upward by the sun in time Of need.
Don't use netting to support the
vines; the sun heats it and burns the
tendriIs ct the plants. Wen trimmed
brush Of uniform length is ideal for
the purpose.
