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 e eover. Allow the clothes to soak an hour, and the time may be WW1 to clear 'the table and put. the house in order, They enn then he washe'! eas- ily. When they are taken from this water, put them in the boiler, and al- low them to scald in water containing a henping teaspoonful of borax to ev- ery bucketful, and enough neap to COL. E. T. HUTTON, General Officer Commanding the Canadian make a good lather. While the first lot of clothes is boiling, the second may be washed. When they are taken from the boiler, add cold water to make them cool enough to handle; wash them out and rinse through two waters, adding a little bluing to the second. White flannel should he washed in two hot suds, and rinsed in water of the same temperature es that in which they were washed. 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 elsewhere. PROTECTING CANADIAN 00008.

STORY OF A SLAVE WHO ESCAPED INTO CANADA BY WAY OF OHIO. How Joshua It. Giddings and RenJaurlrt F. Wade Assisted i► Twang Woman To Avoid Her Pursuers -A Tragedy of the Old South. It is nearly fifty years since Mrs. Stowe stirred the heart of the world with her great novel, and though the causes which produced that book have loug been ended, men and women still weep over the sorrows of Uncle Tom and the death of Eva; follow with thrilling hearts the flight of Eliza and her boy across the floating ice - bridge of the Ohio, and read with in- terest the description of the old. Quak- er homestead and the midnight with Phineas Fletcher. In its main facts Eliza's story was true. All through the hills and val- leys of Ohio Prom the river to the lake are gray, weather-beaten farmhouses once used as stations of the "under- ground railroad" by which runaways escaped from the slave states into Can- ada, from whence they could not be reclaimed by their masters. At the same time many a poor fellow cross- ed the river and started bravely on the long journey towards that Canaan of his dreams, with little idea of its distance and dangers, only to be re- taken and sold into harsher slavery.

Orlando Brown went at once to Ur. Giddings to see what could be Ilene, only to find that the boat in which they usually crossed the lake was ab- sent. While talking they saw two or three men ride up to the hotel, dis- mount, and consult with the landlord, who was known to be a spy, in the 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- ing steed, he asked angrily, as the bunters dashed tip, why the men fol- lowed him. The hunters claimed he woman as their property. They insist- ed, and demanded her surrender threa- tening Giddings with the law, but he 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. In the meantime as soon as the slave - hunters were well out of the town, Or- lando Brown took Wade's buggy and horse "Bob," who, his owner charac- teristically said, "wasn't worth a dol- lar, but could go like the devil," and drove the fugitive with all speed. to Cleveland. On the way the poor girl told him of her life in that Virginian home, now so far behind her, and of the calamity which brought her hand- some, spirited brother from the happy lite at a great college to A CONVICT'S CELL, to save his sister's life and honor, From Cleveland she was safely taken around the lake and across the Detroit Riv- er into Canada, Some years later, the Rev. George Smith was sent by the abolitionists to look after the condition of escaped slaves, who had nearly all settled near one of the large towns of Upper Can- ada. While in the city Mr. Smith, whose business there had become 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 Brown. He did. To those men, she 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- man, a younger son, portioned off wit h a Canadian estate. She would not ac- cept him, and fi.na'ly at. his insistence told him she could not marry because she was an escaped slave the child of a slave mother. The confession made no difference to hien, and after a while they were married, and it proved a very happy union. Her brother, aft- er serving out a long term in the peni- tentiary, went to Canada, and lived In the same town. Barlow are the best representatives in the House of the hoot and collar bri- gade.

Capture of a Riau. Who Man Committed a i:reat Number of Ilurglnrle,,. 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 of 'i chivalrous burglar aro liable to be looked upon with suspicion by the ONE -CENT STREET -CAR FARES. 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- ularity of the halfpenny, one cent, fares. Over 35 per cent. of the t ickets issued are for htlfpcnny fares, tied the average price obtained is only about three farthings, a cent and a half. The corporation is carrying out very important extensions, running its lines into suburbs. It is also pushing for- ward with its elentrie equipment of the Springburn and Mitchell street route. Arrangements are also being made to equip another Inci, and the cars are now hying built in corpora - 1111r1 workshops. 01111?N'TAL 11Al1IEs.
