Bamboo as Reinforcement.

A Chinese student at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology has conceived
the idea that bamboo poles may serve eff
fectively as reinforcement in concrete, ac-
cording to the Cement World. He is con-
Quoting a series of experiments to test
the possibilities Of this idea, having i'm
ported a large quantity of the poles for
this purpose. If bamboo will serve in
place of steel an important industrial dis
covery has been made for the orient.

Cleaning Painted Surfaces.

A cheap and simple method of remov-
ing grease from painted surface Is to
rub the surface with paste of ordinary
whiting, according to the Cement World.
This is allowed to dry; and when it Is
rubbed off with a cloth the dirt and
grease are taken away with 1t. The
whiting Is cheap and can be purchased
at any drug store.

"Yes. this is an emblem of mourn

man with the black band around his

wanted to live awhile longer. but he
was taken two weeks ago"
WANTED. to see another Washing
toms birthday, eh?" was asked.
"Yes, that was 1t. He was an old
man, and he claimed that once he
saw and talked with Washington. We
knew that he wasn't old enough for
that. but he stuck to his story and
was often written up for the papers
Three days before he died, but when
he knew he must go. he said to me:
Homer, I'm not exactly sure the
man l talked to was Washington. 1t
might have been someone else
Next day he was uneasy for while
and then said to me:
"'Homer, / don't think l was ever
within mile of Washington. I've
said that l was. but I'll take 1t back.
"The next day, and three hours be-
fore his death, he called me to his
bedside and said:

OF PLAIN VEGETABLES
REMARKABLY PRETTY TABLE
DECORATIONS MAY BE MADE.
Call only for the Exercise Of Little
Ingenuity, and the Quality Of the
Food Is Not In the Least I'm
palred-Some Examples.

There are many artificial ways to
make lovely decorations, but in the
study of vegetable flowers we can
show a simple way of making our ev-
eryday meals more appetizing and still
not interfere with the palatable part
of the dishes we prepare. These
things will appeal to every one who
may be interested in making home
dishes with pretty garnishes. For in
stance, the small vegetable can'be cut
into flowers, as follows:
Beets-Cut beets in fancy shapes;
salad; cut as cups to serve salad In
carries out the red color scheme;
sliced and cut like hearts carries out
the valentine idea.
Cabbage-Cut cabbage head like
flower; take out center and make in
to slaw and serve in head. You can
also serve hot cauliflower for lunch
con in cabbage head or any other vege-
table salad.
Cantaloupes-Cut cantaloupe in half.
scallop. fill with green grapes and
serve as first course; can also serve
ice cream in the halves.
Celery-Cut celery about inches
long, slash each end with scissors and
stand in ice-cold water until it curls;
then serve on lettuce leaves with may
onnaise; this makes a good relish
Lettuce-Cups are pretty to serve
salad in. Use'fresh, crisp lettuce.
Potatoes-Boil and cream we'll by
running through ricer; season with a
little butter, milk, white pepper and
salt; when a little warm, color deli
cately, put into tube, and make into
rCres, sweet peas, etc., or mold into
morning glories or nests and eggs.
Make into cups large enough to hold
raw egg, run in stove until egg is
cooked, and serve around steak.
Make mound, serve chops around 1t,
and sprinkle with peas at base.
Radishes-Small red radishes can
be cut to look like carnations or tu-
lips; they make a beautiful garnish
for aspic in green, and are pretty on
lettuce with salad; cut in slices, they
look pretty on meat salad; cut with
celery, they are nice to serve In pep
pers with a taste of onion.
Tomatoes-Cut tomatoes like pond
lilies: serve with slices of cucumbers,
as a salad. Cut as cups. take out
center, mix with cucumber and eel
cry, and serve with mayonnaise; these
cups can also be used for sweetbreads
and chicken. Serve in slices, with
cottage cheese between. Cut nice to-
matoes in half and put cheese flow
ers in center; serve ON lettuce leaves

IMPORTANCE OF TABLE LINEN
Well to Bestow Some Thought on
Appurtenanees Before They Are
Purchased and Shaped.

In buying a table cloth one should.
If possible. have the exact measure
ment of the table for which 1t is in
tended; the usual length Is from two
and one-half to three yards. II the
table is a square one, one-fourth to
one-third of a yard is allowed to fall
over the ends. Many Of the new
cloths have the design round on q
square cloth, which makes them espe-
cially attractive for the round table.
as the cloth can be cut circular with
out disturbing the pattern; usually
these have a circle of flowers. or the
satin bands, according to the design
in the border. in the middle Of the
cloth to At the top of the table. Nap
kins should match the cloths, and
there ought to be two dozen allowed
for each cloth; one dozen Of each
size.

mo- Keen Mattresses clean.

Mattresses become soiled very easy,
A good way to keep them clean is to
get unbleached cloth, the cheap kind
is just as good and not so heavy to
wash. Make a case just large enough
to At the mattress. SO 1t cannot
wrinkle.
Sew it across the head, leaving the
foot open. Slip 1t on and draw 1t
down smooth, and just sew 1t here and
there to hold 1t in place. When 1t be-
comes soiled take it of, wash, iron
and replace. Cool. clean and sweet.

Cooking In a Jar.

Not until she has tried 1t will q
housekeeper realize how delicious are
vegetables and fruits cooked in a jar
in the oven rather than mp Of the
stove. AS little water possible
should be added, then mll flavor Of
the foodstuff is retail d. A casserole
answers admirably for vegetables or
fruits prepared in this way. Apple
sauce. rhubarb. prunes and beans are
some of the things which are really
excellent cooked in the oven. The
process is simple for the housewife,
for there is not the danger of burning
as on top OF the stove.

CAPABLE OF GREAT VARIETY
Tomato Salad May Be Served In In
Vulnerable Forms-Ways Of Re-
moving the skins.

A tomato salad is capable of az
many variations as the filings for
stuffed tomatoes, but In whatever
way prepared, do not inflict the skins
upon the consumer. To remove the
skins deftly, try either one Of these
two ways: Plunge for a second into
boiling water. then skim and chill.
or remove the stem and rub the back
Of knife against the fruit, pressing
gently with the dull edge from the
stem and downward until all the sur
face has been covered. After a little
experience this Is almost as easily
done as when scalded and the skin
comes OF as readily. For a break

quarters, cover with French dress
Ing made by mixing vinegar with an
even teaspoonful of salt and liberal
sprinkling of pepper, and serve d.
rectly from the ice SO that 1t has not
time to wilt. Tomatoes either sliced
thin or quartered are excellent
sprinkled with sweet peppers cut with
the scissors into water-thin ribbons;
with a sprinkling of chopped parsley,
or chives or equal amounts chopped
chives, tarragon and chevril. Spanish
onions cut wafer thin are also dell
cious with tomatoes, whether served
alone or on crisped lettuce leaves.
Fine cut celery is another satisfac-
tory combination to use with toma-
toes.

Cold Potatoea.

In summer we will find 1t very con-
venient to have cold boiled potatoes
for use in potato salad or for frying
for breakfast or lunch or for creamed
potatoes.
Z, We now find bacon and eggs SO
agreeable and also so easy to cook
with little heating of the house that
we can easily dispose of the cold
potatoes by frying in bacon fat This
will save using of meat while giving
a good tendency to balance the lighter
diet so desirable in hot weather.
