SOMETHING NEW In TABLE
!. FURNISHINGS

has added variety and design. To
day the American glass ranks with
the best productions of other coun-
tries, and Made in America" glass
admits of no rival.
Fruits occupy first place in table
decorations and there are many ex-
lamples of glassware which show fruits
and flowers to colorful advantage.
Glasses and decanters should depend
on the contents for their coiors. The
best ones are clear ones of crystal
purity.
Worthy of admiration also is the
new glassware which practically
matches some Of the dinner services
in design.
Black finger bowls, with handles
OF colored pears OF natural colors are
among the latest fads.
Some of the newest glass is covered
with a design OF flowers. These are
cut into the glass and left unpolishci
so that the effect is one OF novel in
tcrest.
The bubble glass of Venice is more
than fad, and there are many origi-
nal and reproduced specimens. Gov
cred glass bowls with fruit decora-
tons are used in pairs for the side
board or central table decorations,
A centerpicce recently used with
good effect was of black and white
striped glass, holding an electric
lighted globe inside Of it. The rays
OF light strike through the colored
glass, Grapes, lemons and green
leaves with which the top is piled.
Sherbct glasses for the woman who
loves deep color effects are glorious
in a deep royal purple.
Metal water carriers, complete with
six tumblers, are tinted in gray, green
or neutral tints, the glasses have
decorations in floral design.
Two, three and four compartment
relish dishes in engraved rock crystal,
are among the new forms presented, and
certainly make an appeal to the hostess
who is looking for Something differ
ent' for the table.
For the center Of the table there is a
Tiffany opal glass bowl to hold flowers;
rising from the center is a yeritable
mushroom lamp with an electric bulb.
Some like it hot-some like it cold"
but for those who like hot rolls the odd
shaped silver dishes with open work
border fitted with silver handles. A
doilie embroidered with hot rolls readily
tells the purpose.
For serving cake, there is an engraved
glass tray with silver rim which raises
ut a few inches from the table. Tic
edging is on the underneath side 90 that
when it Is inverted 1t may be used as 4
serving, tray, A silver cake knife ac-
companies the dish,
OF irresistible appeal for those 10
whom price is no object are silver scry-
ice, plates measuring from 10H to liz
inches. One service has an Adams de-
sign, while another Is reproduction OF
antique Dutch silver,

Possibly no department is visited
with as much interest as that which
contains the table service. A young
housekecper is invariably enthusiastic
about the table equipment and most
always is on the alert to add some
thing new"
This season our manufacturers have
exerted themselves to the utmost to
show that we can produce and even
outrival wares which we have been
accustomd to welcome from foreign
shores.
The flowers that bloom in the
spring" are just as vivid on our china
and probably more lasting than those
which nature produces.
AT really extraordinary prices you
can purchase a complete set of Amer
lean porcelain in lovely bright colors
that combine distinction and original
ity of design are reproductions OF old
patterns. A tea set of American por-
celain in Spode Chelsea design of yell
low and pink flowers is priced so
cheap that even a housekeeper of long
experience is surprised.
To know whether piece is really
china or porcelain, glance at the under
side OF the cup or plate. If it shows
a light brown rim, it is china, but if
it is pure white it is porcelain.
A dinner service of English china
is banded with turquoise and gold.
The same may be had in ivory color
and gold.
A charming decoration of Wedge
wood set is old fashioned posics of
softcst blue and red, with foliage for a
central design with white huted border
striped in green.
Individual breakfast sets sure to
tempt the most obstinate appetite
have dainty basket weave border
in blue md white with pink rosebuds
edged in black
The next best thing to silver serv-.
ice is one OF crusted silver and china,
closely resembling hammered silver.
This does not tarnish and has been
received with great eclat.
There is great vogue for Japanese
dinnerware, and it is really remark
able the vast array that is exhibited.
A Japanese set with raised enamel
decoration of flowers and birds is
really a worthwhile possession of the
housewife who loves the artistic.
Japan relish sets in different coiors,
with four compartments, give bril-
liant touch to the table. Mayonnaise
bowls and spoons to match come in
{ the same color.
Cream soups OF Royal Douiton are
newcomers in the china field. They
arc like huge bouillon cups with
handles.
Sandwich plates Of Italian china
have champagne colored' back
ground and an all-over Renaissance
conventional pattern in white, I'll
would seem as If there were as many
varieties Of sandwich plates as there
are sandwiches.
A combination asparagus and dress,
ing plate for individual service Is al
novelty indeed, and besides Its pur-
pose Is OF really lovely decorated
oThs art of making glass dates
back to about 1900 B. C, in Egypt.

caslioht In Oil Lamp.

A wal time substitute for the kero-
sene oil light has been provided in
Germany in the form of a carbide
candle which supplies the old lamp
with acetylene gas, the Columbia State
notes. The candle is q cylinder having
a suitable gas burner at the top and a
removable cover ut the bottom, and
holding two or three ounces of cal
cium carbide. It is set into the lamp
after the oil burner has been removed.
In operation the font Of the lamp is
about half filled with water and the
carbide filled candle is placed in it,
when the moisture reaching the car
bide causes the generation of acety-
lene for a considerable time. The rate
of emission of gas is regulated by vary.
ing the amount Of water. A chalky
residue is left on the exhaustion Of
the carbide, but this is easily removed
when dry or with suitable care, while
still wet and in this state giving off a
small amount of inflammable gas. The
average cost of the carbide used is
stated to be about q quarter of a cent
an hour.

When Cows Sold at SIS.

How the increase in the cost of 1iv-
ing has progressed in the last thirty
or forty years was discussed by Gov.
j. B. Kendrick Of Wyoming, an old
stockman, who has watched the march
Of events. Today a chicken is worth
more than a turkey was a few years
ago; q turkey more than a hog; a hog
more than a COW used to be worth, and
a COW more than a horse. This illus
trates the increase in the price of
food stock.
"In March, 1879, I went down to
Texas to look over two thousand head
Of steers in Matagorda county, south
ern Texas" Governor Kendrick said,
according to the Washington Post.
"While I was down looking over the
young cattle I was asked by the man.
ager Of the ranch If I cared to buy
some older steers. The owner, I was
told, had a number of ~six-year-old
steers that he would sell, although he
was not anxious. ; BE was going to
hold them until he got his price, he
declared. The manager impressed
upon me, however, that I need not
hope to buy unless I was willing to
pay the owners price.
II asked the price, and was told
that he wanted fifteen dollars a head.
Think of Fifteen dollars a head for
six-year-olds, and today calves ere
bringing eighty-fve dollars"

The Disappearing Lady.

The terms madam" and ''sir" are
now employed much less than former.
", according to a book called "The
A B G of Correct Speech" though, it
says, children Should be taught to use
these terms in speaking to ladies' and
gentlemen Of the old school," Lady"
has also passed out of use in circles in
which it was formerly current, except,
curiously, the author observes, when a
hostess talks to "her caterer or her
maids" To them she describes her
guests as ladies'" while to her friends
they are women" or "girls."-Outlook
Electricity.
No one knows what electricity is.
We know some Of the things that it
VIII do. We have to a certain extent
learned how to control it and for want
Of a better name call it a fluid. We
have discovered, too, that it Is one of
the most important forces, If not the
most important force, Of which we
have any knowledge. We are almost
as ignorant Of many other great forces
of nature-as, for example, the attrac-
ton of gravitation. For the present
we must be content to observe such
forces in action and to devise the best
methods to control them. In this
knowledge mankind has progressed
wonderfully within a few years.-St.
Nicholas.

*. Of K.n Feared browning.

Lord Kitchener had a sort of fore
boding Of an accident at sea. So
much vas this the. case that he v
crossed from Dover to Calais without
wearing a lifebelt waistcoat, one that
he had specially made for him in
Egypt before he made his famous ad-
vance to Khartum.
Though so often ON the sea and an
excellent sailor, he detested sea trips.
and never felt comfortable on board
ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sight.
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios in m part
Of the world in which he might be.
he took care never to allow his pur-
chase to be on the vessel on which he
was a passenger.

WASHING sweatera

"When l washed my fine white
sweater it shrank SO that I was scarce
ly able to get it on" said a young
housewife the other day. 1.-The bottom
dried in ripples and the pockets
stretched to twice their size. Next
time I stitched the pockets in place be-
fore wetting. I prepared q luke-warm
suds of white soap and carefully
washed the sweater in this, afterward
rinsing it several times. Then I
squeezed it dry. Over my dressmakers'
form I pinned a sheet and put the
sweater on the form, patting into
shape and stufing each arm with .
rolled bath towel. When dry it was as
large as when new and fitted me even
better"

turning dirty bottles to the milkman
may mean that a few days later either
you or your neighbors will get CON
