serted nu arrow, also formed of u single pleco

A NOVKL PUZZLE.
Scientific American, lu which tho illustra
tion orlglnnlly opxared, explains tho ap
parent impossibility. Tho heart is of black
walnut and tho arrow is of has.-, wixxl, llass
wood, ui all may not know, can bo enor
mously compressed, after which it tuny bo
steamed and expanded to itsorigin.il volume.
This oculiur property is tho key to tho
secret, ono end of tho arrow was thus com
pressed, mid in its compressed state was
passed through tho aperture of tho heart,
after which It was expanded. Advantngo
has lx-cn taken of this principle In tho manu
facture of certain kinds of moldings. Tho
portions of the wood to Ikj loft In relief aro
ilrst compressed or pushed down by suitable
dies below tho giuernl level of the board
then tho Ixiard is pinned down to a level tin

folding Hen-ens.
A folding screen Is now nn almost neces
sary nrtldo of furniture, nml few things nro
moro useful. As hniidson, throo fold screens
nro expensive, many ladles manufacture
tholr own by first having a plnln friiino
made by n earjx;ntor. Tho frames can Ixi of
common pine. Tho height varies according
to Individual lasto; four feet Isngcxxl height,
mul about sixteen or eighteen Indies w Ido
for each panel. Tho frnino limy Ixi inountcd
on tiny brass casters, If liked.
Tho cover for tho screen dcix-niK of
course, on one's own fancy. A pretty cover
1h dark brown Canton (laniiel on ono sldo nml
n deep shade of rod on the other, lty laying
tho frnino down on tho floor or on n Inrgo
tnblo It Is easy to tack on ono side. Then, If
tho cover Is not embroidered and you wish to
decorate It, it is Ixsit to do wo Isjforo putting
on tho other sldo. Kor Instance you tack on
tho rod Canton flannel, and by using brass
headed tncks you can finish tho edges very
prettily. If plain tacks nro used, it is lx-st to
flnlsh tho edges with a narrow gimp, or with
black braid, herring bono stitched with gold
silk; tills makes a particularly pretty llnlsh.
Now for tho decorations. A few Japanese
fans, ns varied In shux mid color as possible,
nro to lie sowed on tho dlirorcnt panels. A
small umbrella, with the stick broken out
und sowed on lint, lixiks very well. Then
tnko a medium sired umbrella, of ns bright
color as jmssI1i1i and without llguros, tko
out the stick and cut the umbrella In half ;
ono-half will look well put on ono of the
panels, low down; then tho other half cut In
two ugnln, and lit one piece In tho upix-r cor
ner of a panel, and tho other piece lu tho
lower corner of tho jmnol farthest removed
from its counterpart. It ndds very much to
Ilnish the top of the screen with llttlo gilded
.mils. These can Ikj purchased nt nlmost nny
:oy
shop. After the dci orations are all
sewed on one side, lay tho
screen down and
tack on tho plain flannel.
A TllREn lANKI.En BCIIKKN'.
These screens aro Invaluable lu a room
where one is accustomed to lying down, for
shielding ono and prevent ing draughts. They
may, of course, Ixi made up of hnndsomo
material, with elalxirato painted or embroi
dered decoration,, but oven a simple covering
of bright cretonne is pretty, nml ono nns
llttlo idea, unless accustomed to uso a fold

Appetlzlni; DUIms for HroiiUfnat.
Two nlco breakfast dishes, says ono skilled
in homo cixikery, aro Graham gems and Bcal
loxsl Ktntoes.
I'or tho ilrst ingredients nro ono pint each
of Graham flour and whlto flour, two ten
RiKxmfuU of baking ixiwder, ono teaspoonful
of salt and enough rich milk to malum rather
stlir batter. If thero is cream in the milk tho
gems will Ixi tenderer. Drop into hot gem
puns nnd bake twenty minutes. I often mako
them with buttermilk mid sodn with good
results.
Scalloped Potatoes Into a well buttered
pan (I often uso snusago frying, which adds
a grxxl flavor, instead of butter) place n layer
of cold colled xtatoes sliced thin, salt und
ixpixr them, add another layer and cover
with milk or cream, llako until well
browned. Wo llko them very much. Cold
mashed itotuUhjs are nlco baked lu the fcaiun
way.
(iooil Lnjer Cake.
To four eggs Ix-aten very light add ono cup
of granulated sugar and bent well, then add
four tublcHpooufuls of sweet milk, one cup
aud a half of sifted flour containing two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder mid one tublo
blKxmful of melted butter. Killing may bo
made us follows: Grute two sour apples and
tho rind of two small lemons; add tho lemon
juice to tho a pj ilo, with n cupful of sugnrand
uu egg. Heat a few minutes, put over tho
Uro and let it come to a boil. If too thin,
add a llttlo corn t'li-ch. Lcttho lllliug cool
before spreading on tlio cake.
Potatoes Sen cil till' Second lime.
A gixxl way to warm over cold boiled potn
toes is to Ilrst chop them not too lino heat
some butter in a frying pan aud put the
potatoes in. Just a few minutes U-foro taking
them from tho llro stir in some well beateu
eggs. Hcr o hot.
Hwc.it potatoes left from dinner make mi
acceptable relish for supicr If cut in slice
nbout ii quarter of an inch thick ami heated
in thb'itly salted cream.
Wooden Wnro for tlio Kitchen.
Long spoons and wooden paddles, mado
from white, hard wood, uro most convenient
for btlrrmg and Ix-ating.
Hoards of various sizes should Ixi kept ill
convenient places, ono for bread, ono for
meat, another fur cutting, aud two or thrco
smaller ones on which to stand ixts and
kettles.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Tim Much Disputed Oncstlou of Clin po
rous for Allicl Ii-iiii Cirls.
A girl's mother Is her natural chaperon.
and should lxj ulways with her on her en
trance into society, snvs Mrs. Sherwood.
Hut thero aro many American girls who hnvo
no "start Pi life," no introduction, no social
surrounding; yet such u girl may marry uml '
liccomo tho wife of a senator or n president,
when tin- questions of etlquetto and pieco
denco will occupy much of her attention.
Shall such a young girl refuso the attentions
of n young man because no chaperon is
forthcoming) It Is nu embarrassing ques
tion. We can truly say Hint whllo a young
girl has tho protecting influence of work In
our bravo jouiig world, "A thousand 11 v
eriisl nugels lackey her."
If she is n young school mistress, artist or
musician, shop girl or drcnsuinffer, if sho ro
fqiects herself, all tho world will respect her.
She is self consecrated, n Joan of Are. His
a noble, a beautiful trait of our American
life, tho resjxjct paid to women. Wo lmvo
nothing to say to such u girl if sho is mother
less nml friendless but to advise hertochooso
Boiue young girl friend, that both may go to
gether when they seok n mutual outing.
Hut if a girl enters tho world of fashion
r.ho must nccopt its laws nnd limitations.
They nro Inexorable, and sho must accept
them if sho would succeed. American women
generally ixjsscss a strong penso of propriety.
They have a truly healthy lovo for virtue,
an nbsonco of morbid suspicion of wrong, as
American men liavo a natural lovo of law
and order mid a projiensity to obey tho law.
Lot us hope that it Is tho natural outcome of
a young republic and owing to tho exception
ally resjiectfiil and chivalrous nature of
American me i, that nu American woman is
safe anywhere. Hret Harto ami all tho play
wrights lmvo treated us to tho siootaclo of
the sight of ono young schoolmistress who
charmed a whole colony of wild miner) Into
submission and dean linen.
Children's lUlquette.
In tho lx.'st social circles children aro no
longer trained to the use of sir mid madam,
or ma'am, toward parents mid i chit Ives.
"Yes, mamma," and "No. papa," "No,
aunt," "Yes, uncle," nnd the like, ivplaco
what was once the only rupeotful formula.
Indeed, ono authority ulllnns that "sir''
should bo by overt Ixxly used sparingly and
toward superiors only, nml that "niu'uin" Is
a word to bo entirely dismidrd It is, how
evt r, customary, if the questioner is nu older
n emu. to respond, "No, sir," "No, ma'am,"
mul the like, if an equal in age or position,
simply "No" and "Yes."
