PEN POINTS OF POWDER.

Pens for writing purposes are be-
Ing manufactured today in Germany
by a. process which is exciting curl
osity. The trouble found with steel
pens is that they oxidize easily and
the ink sticks to them. This fault
is not to be found with gold pens,
but, on the other hand, these are too
flexible to be entirely satisfactory.
Moreover, in order to form a point
suitable for writing purposes, the
material of that part of the pen has
to be mixed with some hard metal
like iridium, and this operation is
both complicated and expensive. The
new pen is of tantalum and comes
to the manufacturer in the form of
a black powder. The pen that is
made of this has the tenacity of steel
and the fiexibility of gold-Harper'g

FIRST CHERRY ORCHARD.

Cherries were first cultivated In
England about a century before Christ,
but the best modern species of fruit
were introduced into Kent from Elan
ders about the beginning of the six
teenth century. One of the very first
cherry orchards was that at Teyn-
ham, near Faversham, from which
much of Kent was afterwards supplied
and the Garden of England" still
maintains it's supremacy, the chief or
chards being along the Kentish Dor
ders of the Thames. the Darent. and
the Midway. Bushino, Venetian am
bassador at the court of James L.,
relates that It was a favorite amuse-
ment in the Kentish garden to try
who could eat the most cherries. and
give details of one match wherein a
young woman won with 20 pounds at
q sitting.

COOKING PEAS AND CARROTS
Many Ways of Preparation to Suit the
Individual Taste-Peas Served
In Turnip Shells.

One way of preparing peas, and for
my own taste there is none better:
Blend together two tablespoonfuls Of
butter and one tablespoonful Of flour.
one-half teaspoonful of salt and little
pepper, for each pint of peas. When
the peas are soft stir this into the
peas and cook five minutes. In pre-
pairing them in that way all the favor
and nutritive value of the peas are re-
tanned. Use care that there is not too
much water; there should be only
enough to cook the peas in, which Is
scarcely enough to cover them.
To Cook Young carrots.-Wash and
scrape the carrots and cut in quarters
lengthwise; then holding the quarters
together place on a board and cut
crosswise through the four quarters in
one-half inch pieces. Boil twenty min
utes or until soft in just enough water
to cover. They are very nice prepared
by the same recipe given for peas; and
Just before serving add two teaspoon
fuls Of parsley finely minced to each
pint Of carrots.
Peas and Carrots.-One cup Of car
rots cut in small pieces as stated and
two cups of shelled peas. Cook the
carrots and peas together until soft.
Drain; add four tablespoonfuls Of
cream and one tablespoonful Of butter,
one-half teaspoonful of salt and one
eighth of a teaspooonful of pepper.
Heat over hot water and serve as soon
as hot.
Peas Served In Turnip SheIIs.-Use
the fiat turnips for this dish and
choose them near of a size. Wash and
pare the turnips and with a sharp
knife scoop out the center, leaving a
shell one-haf inch thick. Steam the
turnips and be careful not to overlook
them or they will fall to pieces. Put
a folded napkin in the serving dish
and place the turnips on it; shake a
little salt and pepper over them, and
fill with cooked peas which have been
seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.
De not waste the turnip which was
scooped out, but cook and mash it and
reserve for another meal.

OLD SUGGESTIONS.

To the ancients an eclipse of thu
sun was outside the law of nature, and
a presage of dire events. In Rome,
It was held to be blasphemy against
the gods to ascribe this event to nat.
ural causes, and among the pagan
peoples the inexplicable darkness that
blotted out the glory of the fire-ball,
the source of light and life was &C
companied by lamentations and hor
rible fears. Even now in this mod.
ern world those Chinese who have not
cut OF their pigtails and studied sci
entihc text books believe that great
dragons are trying to devour the sun
and with brazen pots they make ter
rife noise to scare away those mon
sters.

ORNAMENT FOR THE TABLE
of Flowers, Without
Which the Dinner Is Sure to
Seem incomplete.

The tiniest garden can be made to
furnish flowers for cutting all through
the summer.
If flowers must be used more than
once, it takes little time to have a
separate decoration for each meal.
The freshness Of sweet peas, nastur
tiums, pansies, snapdragons, mari.
colds and peoples makes up for their
lack Of rarity.
At breakfast keep the scheme SIM
pie; some people will not use flowers
at this meal, but few fresh blooms
in slender vase are sure to look at
tractive.
Dinner decoration should have
thought put into it, and the lady Of
the flowers should bear in mind the
family tastes and anniversaries.
The amateur florist often laments
the short life of some Of her treasures.
Poppies, for instance, must be put
on the table just when the meal is
ready, if they are to be a success at
all.
A good scheme is to fill vases with
water and take them into the garden,
putting each poppy in as 1t is picked.
Treated in this way, peoples keep sew
eral days and much more artistic ar
rangement is the result.
Few things are more depressing than
fading flowers. A handful of wild car
rot leaves, freshly gathered, is infinite
ly better than florists elaborate Gre
alton which has seen better days.
There is a passing fad for flowers
arranged after the crowded posy fash
ion in which we have been trimming
our hats and gowns, but the woman
who really loves flowers will give
them more room and a more natural
setting, and content herself with time
tried combinations, such as purple
pansies with forget-me-nots, pink
roses or phlox with delicate lavender
tones of sweet peas, green ferns with
a few white flowers, or the reddish
brown marigolds and pale yellow pop
pies.

EASY TO MAKE SMART TIES
Fashionable Jabots May Be Designed
From Black and White Ribbons
of Satin.

Smart ties can be made from black
and white satin ribbon four inches
wide. A good looking jabot is made
from a six-inch strip of three-inch rib
bon in soft satin ribobn, which check
or dot. Round the bottom edge with
inch silk fringe and across the top
put a satin butterfly bow in the same
shade. This bow may have double
loops neach side without ends, or
can have two loops and two ends, the
latter pointed and finished with a
small tasseI.
For quite young girls the model is
prettily made ofNplaid ribbon, with
black fringe and a black bow.
A stiff, rather formal, effect is had
from a jabot of white satin two inches
wide at the top and four and a half
inches at the bottom, which is cut
straight across at the end that reaches
to the bust line. The upper part is
drawn stif1y over two straight, stiff
loops on each side without ends, or
An inch and a half from the bottom

sertion, and above it three crocheted
UuIlOuS, OA0 dDON0 lu0 Olu0T. 1ulS id
bot is especially attractive in vivid
green satin, with ecru lace banding
and small gilt buttons.
A double frill of black or emerald
green satin ribobn is cut seven inches
wide at the bottom, with the ends
slanting sharply and five inches from
the top. There are double strips, one
eight inches long and the other six
and one-half, and both are side-plaited
into one over the other one and one
half inch at the top. The plaits are
held by three small green buttons on
the back and gilt on green. On
either. side to the top is bow effect,
made by inch-wide frills of plated
point de esprit.
A dainty effect to wear with a close
turnover collar is made from a stiff
square bow of two loops and two ends
Of half-inch velvet ribbon, with a tiny
garland OF pink, yellow or lavender
roses and green foliage twisted
through the knot.

ADoRNMENTS FOR THE TABLE
Cloths, Luncheon Sets and DolIies
Should All Be of the Finest
Possible Materials.

The tablecloth is becoming a thing
Of rare beauty and some of the new
ones are lovely enough, with their
wealth of lace and hand embroidery,
to be used for lingerie gown.
For the round table the linen covers
only the top, 14inch border OF cluny
lace hanging below. This same lace
is inserted in the center of the cloth
and takes the place of the usual cen
ter-piece.
For the luncheon set color is being
introduced. Daisies embroidered in
natural tints upon heavy Irish linen
give a charming new touch. These,
as a rule, include large centerpiece
and dozen doilies.
The petals Of the flowers are done
with very thick, fluffy floss and the
embroidery can be finished in a very
short time.
Other pretty luncheon sets are made
Of finer linen, the doilies being cut in
squares instead of round, while the
new punch work and very little fine
French embroidery are introduced.
For breakfast the table linen is
much palmer, and these sets include
the cloth and dozen small napkins.
Damask embroidered in quaint little
flower designs in color are very attrac-
tive, while others are of linen crash
embroidered in cross-stitch.
All of these are rather expensive
when bought in the shops, but the
housewife who has several idle hours
during the day can with but slight
expense and little trouble give her Ia
ole linen a distinctive air.

"Under Way"

had to do with weighing anchor, and
the progress given to the ship by haul
ing her up to the anchor being con.
tinued by wind or stream. Probably
under weigh" was more correct. But
today the above spelling is usually
adopted. Quite recently in London
England, court, Judge Lumley Smith
K. c., when trying a collision case
asked If there was any authoritative
way Of spelling under way" or under
weigh"-which was accurate? The
leader of the admiralty bar at the
court, answered that for many years
the word had been spelled under
way" and he believed that was gen
orally accepted in official quarters.

from fifteen to eighteen years of age,
has pledged $S5, to be paid by Christ

girls are rich, our teacher is in poor
health, the scholars are not very en-

some idea to make money. We have

better for fall. Lawn parties have
been suggested, but do not seem suit
able. What do you think of play?
