The action of the governor in re-

ton law, although the petitions were
filed last September, and no protest
was made to them, is being used by
the Socialists to describe the conse-

anticipated by the Socialists that the
same fate will befall their initiated

How to Test Linen and Cotton If You
Can't Tell the Difference.

IF you are not sure that your mer-
chant is reliable when buying table
linen take home sample and wash 1t
hard and then see, when it is ironed
dry, how much of it's fine gloss and
smooth, satiny finish remain. Very Of
ten this is only a dressing and comes
out In the wash.
To test for cotton in your linen take
a thread running in each direction, pull
them apart and when they break no.
tice the ends. If the fibers curl up
and are fuzzy it is cotton thread; if
they are lustrous and lie straight and
parallel you have linen. As in the case
Of cotton and wool mixtures, it holds
true of linen and cotton that mixture
made of good grade of both is prefer
able to an all linen at the same price.
The latter would have to be of an in
ferior grade, probably overbleached
and thereby rotted and sure to wear
poorly.

Beautiful Land Of AIsaco,

This land of Alsace Is in many re.
spects the most beautiful that have
ever seen. Strung along the horizon,
like sentinels wrapped in nantes of
green, the peaks of the Vosges loom
against the sky. On the slopes of the
ridges, massed in their black battal-
ions, stand forests of spruce and pine.
Through peaceful valleys silver
streams meander leisurely, and in the
meadows which border them cattle
stand knee deep amid the lush green
grass. The villages, their tortuous,
cobble paved streets, lined on either
side by dim arcades, and the old, old
houses, with their turrets and balco-
MES and steep pitched pottery roofs,
give you the feeling that they are not
real but that they are scenery on a
stage, and this illusion is heightened
by the men in their jaunty berets and
wooden sabots, and the women whose
huge black silk headdresses accentuate
the freshness Of their compilations. 1t
is at once region of ruggedness and
majesty and grandeur, Of quaintness
and simplicity and charm.-F. Alex

THE OLD YEAR.

THE old year brought some sadness,
l. And it brought a touch Of pain,
But it brought heap of gladness
When our tears were dried again.
1t brought us cares and duties
And some disappointments, too,
But it brought us charms and beauties
When our time of toll was through.
THE old year that is slipping
l. Ger the edge of life today,
With smiles of joy came tripping
Very gayly down the way,
But we stumbled very often
And at times we stopped to wrong,
But always, our cares to soften,
Love and laughter came along.
THE old year that ls starting
l. On it's journey to the past
Will bequeath us in departing
Sacred treasures that will last;
Precious memories of blessings
That upon us are bestowed;
All the smiles and sweet caressings
OF the friends along the road.
OF the cares that oft beset us,
" OF the sorrow and the pain,
And the things that came to fret US
Very little will remain.
These will vanish, and hereafter
We shall only keep in thought
What of happiness and laughter
And of friendliness it brought.

leaping Treason.

King William III. of England was
passionately fond Of the chase and
made it point never to be outdone
in any leap, however perilous. A Mr..
Cherry, who was devoted to the ex-
lied Stuarts, took advantage Of this
to plan the most remarkable design
which was ever formed against a
kings life. He regularly joined the
royal hounds, put himself foremost
and took the most desperate leaps in
the hope that William might break
his neck in following him. One day,
however, he accomplished one so i'm
minently dangerous that the king when
he came to the spot shook his head
and drew back. 1t is said that Mr..
Cherry at length broke his own neck
and thereby relieved the king from
further hazard.

~HE ingredients for stock-rav

"HE ingredients for stock-raw
or cooked meat, cut into small
pieces-are put into a pot,
covered with cold water and
set over slow fire to simmer for two
or three hours. The water should
never reach the boiling point, for If
meat is cooked at too great heat the
should be added when the water
reaches the simmering point. All scum
must be carefully removd as soon as it
rises. If the scum is removed two or
three times the stock should be clear
and clean.
Vegetables to flavor should be added
at the last hour of cooking. They give
the stock a stale taste if overlooked.
When the stock is done pour it through
wire strainer into a bowl. When 1t
is cold remove all the fat that has
arisen to the surface, and the stock
will be ready for ordinary use. All

greater value than quantity of poor
stock. A good quality Of stock is espe-
cially essential in making soups. If
your stock seems thin and poor it
should be enriched by adding a little
milk, butter, meat extract or an egg.
An excellent water pot or casserole
with cover makes the best pot for
stock and is easy to keep clean. A
stock pot should be thoroughly cleaned
after each time it is used and the
stock should never be allowed to re-

Cook three pounds Of lean beef with

the amount Of finely chopped apples.
The apples should be washed, quarter

skins may be left on If chopped first.
Add the suet which was cooked with
the meat and which will rise and form
cake of fat on the top of the liquid.
1t should be chopped, and the water in
which the meat was cooked should be
placed on the stove and allowed to
cook away to about a cupful Of stock,
which should be added to the chopped
meat, apples and suet.
Now add two pounds Of brown sugar,
three cupfuls Of molasses, three pints
Of cider, three pounds Of seeded raj
