EXTRA LINEN SUPPLY
MATTER THAT is THE DESIRE OF
EVERY HOUSEWIFE.
Monograms Should Be Embroidered
on Every Piece-Fancy Work
That Can Be Done in Mo-
ments Of Leisure.

No housekeeper can ever have
enough attractive linen for her table
and her bedrooms. She may have
enough for actual service, but it is
wise to keep just little ahead Of the
actual need in extra towels for guest
room and bathroom. 1t is also advis-
able to keep Just little ahead in
the supply of linen for the table.
Every set of napkins and each table
cloth should have the housewives sur
name initial or her monogram en-
broidered upon 1t. There is a question
as to the proper place to put the
initial or monogram, but the majority
prefer the letter on tablecloths to be
in the corner, where they will come
Just off the rounded edge of the table.
Napkins should have the initials in
the corner or in the middle on one
side, where they will be on top when
the napkins are folded. Tea napkins
are the only ones on which wreath
can appropriately be placed. 1t is
quite permissible to place an initial
within the wreath or other decorative
motif. Tea napkins can also be fin
ished with hemstitched or scalloped
edges.
Some women may argue that they
haven't time to put fancy work on
household linen. This is poor ar
gument, for almost every woman has
a few moments during the day when
she sits down to chat with a neigh
Dor or when she is waiting for the
Homecoming of her husband to his
evening meal. 1t is during these odd
moments that great deal can be
accomplished, especially in the way
of fancy work. Pickup work is good
for the nerves.

Before New Orleans Battle.

One hundred years ago the British
naval forces were beginning to rem
devious in the Gulf of Mexico, prepar-
atory to the campaign before New Or
leans. Soon the calm waters of the
gulf were to be the scene of a great
gathering Of men-of-war flying the
British flag. All the vessels of Ad-
miral Cockburns fleet, recently en-
gagged in the Chesapeake bay opera
tons, were on their way to the gulf,
together with other warships, trans
ports and schooners, tn the number
of so vessels. At the head of the
fleet was the big warship Tonnant,
carrying the flag of Admiral Cock
burn. On board the transports were
1000 soldiers, who were to take part
In the expedition against the southern
CITY, and who were now In high good
humor at the prospect of escaping the
hardships of a winter campaign in
the North.

Transmitting Liqht by Wire.

Deputy Consul General Carl E. Loop
of London reports that DR.. Archibald
NJ Low, a consulting engineer,
claims to have discovered a novel
method for transmitting light by wire,
the contrivance including a transmit
ter. receiver, and a connecting wire,
with the transmitter a screen divided
into a large number of selenium cells
whose electrical resistance varies &C
cording to the light striking it.
A spontaneously running roller is
passed over the screen and includes
a number of alternating conductors
and insulators, motor driving the
rollers at high sped.
The invention is referred to by the
inventor as a kineomatographic APP
plication of common electrical prin-
ciples, and while it has been tested to
the equivalent of four miles, the in
ventor sees no reason why it should
not be effective for greater dis
tances.

MANY USES FOR SARDINES
Suggestions for Dishes That viii Be
Appreciated by Those Fond Of
the Delcacy.

Combined with tomatoes, sardinei
make delicious sandwiches. Pound a
dozen of them to a paste with little
butter, squeeze some lemon juice over
them and season with cayenne pepper.
Butter thin slices of bread and cover
with the mixture. On this place some
thin slices of tomato, add pepper and
salt, and cover with slice of bread.
A pimento-sardine salad is both UNI
usual and toothsome. Remove the
bones from the sardines, chop and mix
with an equal quantity each OF chop
ped pimentos and celery and one-third
the quantity each of olives and nut
meats. Chill and serve in a border of
jellied tomato with a rich mayonnaise
dressing.
Stuffed sardines are tasty for infor-
NAL lunches and suppers, and are cas-
lily prepared. Select the homeless va
riety which are put up in oil, open and
fill with Parmesan cheese, press to-
gether and serve with sliced lemon.
Grilled sardines are good Wash a
can of large sardines and heat in ia
blespoonful of butter. Pour over them
white sauce seasoned with table
sauce, lemon and parsley. Serve or
toast.

Takinu I'm Italian.

Now that German is being ousted
from the curriculum of some of Eng
lands secondary schools, possibly
Italian may be inserted in its place.
Such an alteration would have been
cordially welcomed by Gladstone. "A
favorite topic with Mr.. Gladstone"
writes the present head master Of
Elton, "was the preference in English
education of German to Italian. He
used to deplore it, saying that when
he read Dante he felt that he was in
the hands of a master, but that the
Germans had produced no first-rate
literature. Sometimes his interlocu-
tor would object that Goethe was a
first-rate writer. The rejoinder was
Certainly not. Goethe created a
world without any conception of
duty Sometimes a discussion would
arise on this point, but I never heard
that it reached any conclusion" Pail
Mall Gazette.
