PATCHES.
Tn repairing table linen, the prim-
ary conalderatton must be to make
patches as flat and nearly invisible as
possible; for this reason, damask re-
sembling the original artiole is very
desirable, and the plan of buying nap-
kins to match the tablecloth has much
to recommend it, as, the good parts of
partially worn ones may be successfully
utilized for this purpose. Damasks are
either twilled or plain, and as in other
patches, the materials must Match in
the fall of the selvage and right and
wrong sides. This is most important
in twill damasks, because, if inserted,
otherwise, the diagonals will run in
opposite directions.
These patches may be treated like
calico, but owing to the nature of the
fabric, the darning-in-methol will
prove superior. In adopting this latter
plan the finest thread wilt be required.
The hole is out cleanly into asquar•e
or oblong sufficiently large to remove
all thin parts and the patch cut exact-
ly the size cif the hole. It is then
darned in with a siugle stitch, taken
from four to six threads deep, alter-
nating in patch and article; that stitch
must be perfectly upright, the needle
being always carried between the two
raw et,ges, underneath the damask and
through up on the right side. In Ltirn-
ing the corners, the last four or six
stitches of the previous row on the
patch aro reworked in the opposite di-
rection, thus making the corners firm
and secure.
Lt is most important to match the
figured and striped materials, so that
when completed the continuity of the
design will remain unbroken. In
shape they do not differ from any of
the o;.her patches, and if sewu with
cotton or silk to match the color of the
material the appearance will be great-
ly improved.
It is desirable to iron all patches
when completed, but in woollen ma-
terial it requires very special atten-
tion; in such cases, they are better
Ironed under a dampened cloth, and
when possible, on both the right and
wrong sides, taking care, of course,
that the iron does not come in contact
with the right side of the material,
Tailor's patches, when successfully
inserted, call forth universal approba-
tion, chiefly because no stitches are
risible. from the right side. The wrong
side appears similar to the other me-
thods, but on careful examination it
will be seen that the seam is work-
ed with stitching instead of seaming.
It is put in as follows: Remove all worn
parts, Cutting the hole into asquate,
oblong or triangle, and mark the ma-
terial with chalk one-quarter of an
Inch beyond. Next, chalk a piece of ma-
terial exactly the same size for t ho
batch and out It out one-quarter of
an tuejr longer. Notch, the comers of
the hole to within two three 3s of the
chalked line, and then aitch the lines
of the patch and garment together,
with the right sides of both facing oue
another. Pinelly, wedge a small piece
out of the corner of the turnings of
the patch to make them lie flat, and
then overcast or buttonhole them and
press the seam well. Tailor's chalk
greatly facilitates dress patching, as
prints and seams may be marked with
it without injury to color or fabric,
TO BROIL SUCCESSFULLY.
That is, to give meat the delicious
flavor characteristic of a broil, and
brown the surface so quickly that none
of the delicate juices escape, is impossi-
ble on afire that has just been mend-
ed, or that sends out jets of gas. A
hot, clear fire is indispensable; The
gridiron should be scrupulously clean,
and heated thoroughly before the
broil is put on it.
Grease
the bars of the gridiron with
suet or kitchen fat; never with but-
ter.
Meat needa plenty of flare; fish but
little.
Put meat `so near the flare that it
will be in the flare which the fat
drops cause. As soon as the surface
on one side is browned, turn and brown
the other side.
After this turn frequently and re-
move a little from the fire to finish
cooking.
Beef an inoh thick will require from
fifteen to twenty minutes broiling.
Trim off the skin from mutton
chops, leave only fat enough to make
them palatable, and broil about ten
minutes. Serve on a hot dish, and put
a piece of butter and a few drops of
lemon juice on each chop.
•Broil pork chop in the same way.
In turning a broil never slick a
fork into the lean parts, as this allows
the delicate -flavored juices,upon which
its excellence in great part depends,
to escape.
A seasoning of pepper, mustard,
herbs, onion juice or the like should
be added five minutes before ta.kiug
it off the fire, but salt the last thing
before serving.
Serve on a hot platter. Place a few
bits of soft butter on a hot platter,
salt one side of the broil, lay this side
downwards, add more butter and salt,
and serve.
Fish should be salted before it is
broiled. Slices ab halibut or other
largo fish should he seasoned with salt
and pepper, rubbed on both sides with
melted putter, then rolled in flour and
fried immediately.
Lay salt mackerel, skin side upper-
most. in cold water over night. Dry
with a cloth, cut off the head and tip
of tail, broil, serve on a hot dish and
season with butter and a few drops of
lemon juice or vinegar. Salmon and
other larger fish should be freshened
twenty-four hours.
Oysters should he wiped dry by pine
ing them between the folds of a towel
and pressing tightly. Then roll in
beaten egg and bread crumbs let
them Lie fifteen minutes, then broil on
a greased gridiron.
WASHING WHITE CLOTHES.
Every housekeeper who does her own
washing, likes to have her white clot hen
clear and spotless when she tektite them
from the line. Plenty of water is ne-
cessary, and, of course, soft water is
preferred. When you wash with well
water, soften it by dissolving a little
powdered borax in 'it, and it will be
as nice as rain water.
Prepare a good hot suds and put. it
in the tub, I hen put I be whitest clothes
in, and cover the tub so that the heat
and steam may be kept in, An old
quilt or blanket folded twice, so that
there are four thicknesses, will do for

RATS AND THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.
The Rodents Are On; Cause of the Spread
of the Disease.
The evidence for the part played by
the rat in the propagation of plague
is gradually aceum.iiinting. At. Kar-
achi it has seen 0coml>srativeiy com-
mon observation for the occurrence of
a case of plague to he preceded a few
days by the finding of dead rats, this
was particularly, noticed in the first
two or three oa,ses of the present out-
break. The finding of dead or dying
rats has now became the sisnal to clear
out of any dwelling, Mi:•e and cats
have a'so been found to suffer from
plague, Although so much attention
is given to the disinfection of clothing
the evidence t hat 1 he contagion is ever
conveyed by this means is very doubt-
ful. The conveyance of infection by
infected rats in grain -bags is much
more probable, as dead rats have been
found among the piles of imported
bags. As nearly every house in an In-
di;n town is hunoycordeed by rat runs,
and as the disease is very virulent. in
this species o1' animals, it is reasonable
to assume ( hat' it is by their means
that the disease is extensi;e.y if not
chiefly spread. It is very cer!ain that
contagion from the sink to the healthy
only accounts for 0 email propels ion of
cases. There le seine evidence to ehnw,
however, that the so-called pneumonic
form is Inure infe.t.ious than any other.
The number of cases reported in Cal-
cutta is gradually increasing, but the
great exodusof people and perliaps
the hot :;e,son ..arty have combined to
postpone its spread; the people are now
beginning to get over their fright and
are said to he returning, and are also
learning to see that the sanitary mea-
sures adopted when aease of plague is
discovered are not so dread.'ul as they
supposed. In Bombay the plague is
almost extinguished line the average
weekly mortality is nearly reached. In
Karachi it is also vert rapidly dimin-
ishing, the majority of the rases which
are now occurring being found in the
outlying comps, There is very little

It is nearly fifty years since Mrs.

EMPLOY OF SLAVE -HUNTERS.
In a few minutes the elder Brown ap-
peared among the slave -bunters and
was heard denouncing in no measured
terms all abolitionists and road agents,
especially -Wade and Giddings, just
as if he were not known among his
friends as the fiereest of than all. Gid-
dings and young Brown nett consult-
ed Wade, and learned that the fugi-
tive was about the size of Mrs. Jen-
nings, who lived across the street, and
was their friend and helper.
The case seemed desperate, but
these men were not easily beaten, and
they agreed that Mrs. Jennings should
represent the slave, and act as a de-
coy for the hunters, and Wade went
to notify her, while Giddings went for
horse and buggy. In a few minutes he
dashed up to the door, and Wade came
out with Mrs. Jennings, dressed in
black and veiled. W ben she was seat-
ed they drove at a gallop east, towards
liuffalo. As soon as horses could be
saddled the hunters were after them
at breakneck speed, hut the faster
they rode the faster Giddings drove for
many miles, then, stopping, his pant-

still insisted that she was a free wo-
man and belonged to no man. He kept
up the controversy as long as possible,
when Mrs. Jennings lifted her veil and
showed to the infuriated men the face
of an entire stranger.

look after the condition of escaped
slaves, who had nearly all settled near
one of the large towns of Upper Can-

known, received au invitation to din-
ner from a prominent citizen. Upon
arriving at the house he found every-
thing mad attractive, the host and
hostess people of culture, and the
lady a woman of great beauty. In
the evening, while entertaining him,
with unusually fine music, she asked
if he knew Messrs, Wade, Giddings and

said, she owed her life. She told Mr.
Smith the above story, and added that
upon reaching Canada she came to the
town where she still lived, had no
trouble in getting music pupils, and
soon won her way into society, where
she was coursed by a young English-

Capture of a Riau. Who Man Committed a

The Viennese police have reason to
pride themselves on the capture of an
individual who is regarded among the
light-fingered gentlemen of the Con-
tincut as the King of Thieves. This mac
appears to have possessed a magic
power over bolts and bars, and no less
than 390 burglaries, have been scored
to his account during the last few
years. He affected somewhat the liue
of policy adopted by Rubin Hood,Claude
Duval, and Dick Turpin, for he exhib-
ited at times the traita of chivalry
and generosity which are popularly
supposed in fiction to have marked the
characters of some of the historical
knights of the highway. He burgled,
not always with the sordid object of
stealing, but from a professional pride,
which prompted him to overcome ob-
stacles. The more difficult the bolts
and bars, the more he desired to win
his way through them. When lie had
succeeded he wound leave a card or a
written compliment. to the locksmith,
and go away with empty hands. But
his ambition has overleaped itself, and
he has landed in a cell, which is no
wonder, seeing how the actions even

Glasgow Runs Hs Own Street Railroad and
41vesI'lne Servlee and Low Rates.
The fourth annual 'report of the
Glasgow Tramways Department, which
covers the twelve months ending May
31 last, shows the continued progress
ot this famous municipal enterprise.
The gross profits have increased to
£100,538, $502,690. To appreciate fully
the profitable character of the Glasgow
municipal tramways it should be re-
m mbered that the po;iey of the de-
partment is not to accumulate profits
it aid of rates, but to build up a fine
service, both cheap and efficient.
It meets the interest, £13,497, on
the capital and sinking -fund charges,
£11,075, and in addition has this year
set aside the large sum of £22,884, $119,-
420, for depreciation, which is written
off capital.
There still remains a net surplus of
:k iii,387, $196,1135, which added to the
payment to the common -good fund,
would be sufficient to pay a dividend
of 8 per cent. on the capital invested.
Every year shows a great addition
to the number of passengers carried.
During the last twelve month> the to-
tal number was 106,341,437, which is
almost double the number carried the
first, year of municipal working.
The new competition of underground
railways and subways in Glasgow has
had no effect in arresting the develop-
ment of the tramways, which show an
increased revenue almost every week
throughout the whole year.
The report shows the increasing pop-
