Women, by nature, adore linen and upon the quality and quantity, as well as the condition in which this import- ant adjunct, to every well-ordered household is kept, is the housewife lauded or condemned in foreign lands. A bountiful supply of exquisite finish may not be within the reach of all, but to have what you own hemmed and well kept is surely within the simplest pro- vince. ' In hemming cloths and napkins by hand do not make an ordinary hem, but rather what is called in France an ourlet surjet. Turn down the dam- ask a quarter of an inch, as if for an ordinary hem. and fold it back on the cloth. Take it altogether and, keep- ing the single side of the cloth toward you, hold it and hem with the left thumb and forefinger and oversew it as if you were doing what children call “ top sewing.” This is done on the wrong side of the cloth, is lasting, and makes a very sightly finish. Drawn-line insertions and hems are‘ done by machinery on all damask weaves, as it is impossible to draw the threads and wo'rk it by hand. The marking of tablecloths and napkins is sometimes done in delicate color, but is never as elegant as plain white. This is, however, a matter of taste. If col- ors are used, be careful to use flax or cotton that washes well. Let the em- broidering be careful and the letters clear. 1 To work in satin stitch, first out-‘ line and then pad the heavy parts of the design.

These can be bought in linen, ready stamped for embroidering, with fringe or drawn thread already made on them. Very good tray cloths can be made from an old tablecloth.

The ap-' proximate time is half an hour for every pound of lamb. Sweethreads of Lambâ€"These make a nice entree dish. Take six lamb sweet- breads, wash and trim these, and set to soak in cold water, for quite two hours. Then scald them in salted boil- ing water for three minutes and PM them aside to get cool. Fry them in an ounce of butter till colored. and set in a stew pan with half a pint of clear chicken broth; add a small quantity each of pepper, salt and chopped pars~ ley, a pinch of sugar and about six to eight mushrooms.

Preparing Salmonâ€"Place two pounds of fresh salmon in a fish kettle, cover with water, season with a handful of salt, add one medium-sized onion, half a wine glassful of white vinegaar, eight whole peppers, two cloves and the sauce from the kettle, drain thor- oughly; dress on a hot dish with a folded napkin, nicely decorate with parsley greens all around the salmon, and serve with a pint of hot oyster sauce.

To this add one cupful of New Orleans baking molasses, one cupful of sour cream, two and one-third cupfuls of sifted flour, a pinch! of salt, one ta- blespoonful of ginger, a pinch each of cloves, cinnamon and grated nutmeg. One tablespoonful of soda dissolved in a little boiling water should be add- ed last; beatuthe mixture for a few minutes and bake in patty pans. This amount will make about 20 cakes. Watermelon Sirup.-Several times lately we have noted brief references to experiments at sirup making from watermelon juice, and have wondered why some systematic efforts have not been made to utilize this produce in that way. The older generation of people can doubtless call to mind sir- up made by the slavesâ€"on a small scale and in a rude way, it is true, but it was not at all a bad sustitute for the genuine article. The watermelon juice contains a larger percentage of water than does the juice of the cane, but we are informed that one gallon of sirup can be made from twelve to fourteen gallons of juice. and are of the opinion that an acre of land would produce more sirup if planted in mel- ons than if planted‘in cane. They are an easy crop to raise, are very pro- ductive, easy to handle, and no ma- chinery would be required to express the juice, as is the case with sugar cane. The watermelon makes a beau- tiful sirup, mild and pleasant, and if the effort was made in a scientific way there is little doubt that it would prove a success. It is certainly worth trying. TH E CLEMATIS. The clematis stands in the front rank among flowering vines. It begins to bloom early and stays late. A few be- lated buds will sometimes open, in a favored situation, the last of October or first of November. Many fail to sue-- ceed with the clematis through not hav. ing an intelligent perception of its re- quirements. The vine requires a good soil, preferring clayâ€"not a heavy clay, but a soil into which it enters largely. The unthoughtfnl grower plants his vine where he wan_ts_it“to talfe rootâ€" V Luv vv uv- v â€"v by the side of a building. of course, where the subsoil is shavings, brick- bats, mortar, etc., that hold no water, but absorb heat. To make aclematis thrive dig a hole three feet deep, fill it with turf and some manure, put a pipe at the end, so that when the trench is filled you can pour water in at the base. Keep the subsoil morst and the surface dry. In this way they will root deep' and be less influenced by drouth. The large-flowered varieties are the most showy. but they are a little chary of foliage and do not make as good a shade as varieties that are less pro- (use bloomers. wild horse: of , Arabia will not ROYALTY AND SCIENCE. One at the most distinguished of the recent visitors to ,Paris was Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria, the emin- ent oculist,‘ whose work is familiar to the scientific world. Indeed, a taste for scientific research seems to have been one of the gifts of this Bavarian family. There has been considerable talk of late of the trip of ,scientitic exploration into South America soon to be undertaken by Princess Theresa of Bavaria, daughter of the Prince Re- gent Leopold. ‘ Already, in a previous expedition of exploration, has this royal personage Penetrated to the unknown fastness- es of Brazil. 60 successful was the expedition undertaken for purpo:es of geographical research, that the Prin- cess was honored with a decoration. presented by the Academy of Sciences of Munich. To return to the Duke Charles Theo- dore. His daughter, the Princess Sophia, married Count Toering-Jetten- bench, and it is said this union was brought about through the channels of yhysice-chemical science. The young Princess has certainly inherited all the studious inclinations of her father. Even at the tender age of seventeen her scientific knowledge is little short :or remarkable. For several years the Princess Sop- hia has pursued the course of studies given by the gymanases and lyceums of Munich, and she has made such pro- gross, especially in Greek and Latin, as to call for the special commenda- tion of M. Jules Lemaitre. The young Princess excels especially in Greek. She can read Homer in the original and has made Valuable annotaiions and marginal explanations of the Iliad an_(l the; Odyssey. Yet the dead languages have not occupied her sole attention, as this more slip of a girl of seventeen speaks French and English like a native. She is also well instructed in Russian and Hungarian, and in a recent voyage in Africa she picked up quite a little Arabic. Herforte, however, is science. and chgmigstry is her equcial delight. _ . It is eertainly curious and not be] doubted that her love of chemistry had ; much to do with her marriage. .At! the court hall, where for the first time I the Princess met her husband, she' became engrossed in conversation w1th I him on the subject of most interest! to herseltt. | Count Toering-Jettenbach. an ex- cellent chemist himself, rose to the oc- casion, and the two struek up afriend- ship that soon ripened into love and fin_aJIy developed into matrimqny. It must not be thought that the Princess has no taste for the arts. She is a. performer of rare skill on the piano and plays the violin with asym- pathetic technique. But her accom- plishments do not end there. The Princess is an excellent sports- woman, and something of a moun- taineer as well. She has forded great rivers that are choked the year round with snow and ice. She is, moreover. an excellent wheelwoman There is nothing commonplace about i this young woman, and there is little doubt in the world of science that shel will some day duplicate the exploits. of her learned father, Duke Charles.
