Chopped olives or shavings of pimento may be added. Toast some fresh marshmallows and mix them in a bowl with chopped English walnuts. Cut white bread in star shapes, spread with this dressing. Boil four ounces of sugar to a thick syrup. Line a border mould with this. Cook some more to a caramel, then add two tablespoonfuls of water to dissolve the sugar to a syrup. To this add three-quarters pint of milk and three whole eggs well beaten, flavor with vanilla. Strain and fill in the pre pared border mould. Then carefully poach in water with a sheet of card board at the bottom to prevent sudden heat destroying the appearance of the cream, which, if boiled, would decom pose and become full of holes and watery, it takes about forty minutes to cook the5 cream.

It is not often that Europe acknowl edges that it has obtained artistic ideas from America, but such an ac knowledgment is now made, and, in teresting to say, it relates to a form of art in which Europeans have hith erto been unrivalled; viz., the making of decorative furniture. It is handamied furniture to which we particularly refer, concern ing which an English pictorial journal bluntly says: "This new fashion has come directly across the Atlantic to us." The ainf of the furniture painter now is to produce with colors the effects which the old master cabinet makers obtained by inlaying costly woods, with careful attention to the contrasts and harmonies of hues and the lines of the natural grainings. In the eighteenth century the favorite materials were tulip wood, mahogonf, beech, pear, holly, linden and other delicately tinted .and grained woods, together with' ivory, ebony and mother-of-pearl. All of these can be quite effectively initiated, even by an amateur artist, and without great expense. Three principal methods are prac ticed; viz., first, painting on white, un- CooBng Drinks for Summer Days So otten we hear the remark: "I'd just give anything if I had a glass of cold lemonade." The desire is not an uncommon one in these hot sum mer days, for certainly we are always glad for a "refreshing drink" that really is refreshing. We need not confine ourselves to lemonade as delicious and refresh ing as it is for there are ever so many variations of lemonade that make it altogether different and thirst-quenching. To be truly re freshing it must be thoroughly chilled and not too sweet rather a sharp taste. With so many fresh fruits and berries on the market it becomes a simple matter to make cold drinks which will not only quench the thirst, refresh and stimulte, but in most cases add real food value. It is wise, these days particularly, to save any tea or coffee that is left over for .very of t en it adds lest to the beverage. To be economical in the use of sugar these cold drinks, which are sweetened before serving, it is wise to make a syrup by boiling the sugar and water together for five minutes, then cooling before adding fruit, etc. Lemonade. One cupful sugar, two cupfuls water and juice of three lemons. Make a syrup of sugar and water by boiling for five minutes and cool.

Period. varnished wood, with a layer of Chi nese white for a basis; second, paint ing over body color, or gouache, and third, painting with oil colors on .an enameled surface. The process, as recommended by I. G. McAllister, is, in substance, as follows: If you are dealing with plain, un varnished white wood, begin by diaw ing in pencil on the bare wood the outline of the design selected, using tracing paper if necessary; then cover the outlined design with a coat of Chinese white water-color. Let this dry and then fill in the complete de sign with the various colors chosen and finish with a coat of delicate var nish. If body color instead of Chi nese white forms the first coat, the subsequent process is the same. Mr. McAllister recommends a golden hued varnish. For models old suites of costly fur niture may be used, and photographs of especially admired designs may be obtained. In initiating marquetry or inlaid de signs, an outline of the "inlay" is drawn on the white wood and the dif ferent colors are filled in over a layer of gouache; then the pattern is deli cately outlined in India ink with a drawing pen, while a golden varnish completes the work. It is very interesting and encourag ing to be told that, by these methods and without any great artistic skill, provided that good models are fol lowed, a new suite of plain wood fur niture can be made very beautiful, while an old, disfigured suite can be caused to glow with a beauty that it never had even in its youth.

(Emphasize Iht "GREAT') Sentiment and business By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. The officer- -a correspondent in Shrinkage Speeds Earth's Rotation By GARRETT P. SERVISS. the trenches "somewhere," who has sent an account of the affair to me used some strong expressions, as he looked at it, regarding the care lessness of fellows who lose things. ! "It" was a photograph of a girl which the writer of the letter to me had found, considerably, the worse for having spent a day or two in the mud where he had discovered it. ! The likeness was damaged badly, I but still ''there it was," and who ' knew how valuable it might be to someone? The news of the find spread from man to man, but no one who had lost a photograph could be discovered. So the finder took it to his officer, who expressed himself vigorously about people who could not take care of things belonging to them. Having relieved his feelings in that direction, he wondered what was to be done. In the end he scribbled an advertisement on the back of an envelope. "Found in trench a young lady's photograph. Owner can have same on application to " etc., etc. That notice was nailed up on a post where it would catch the eye of soldiers passing by. It hung there for days. It excited the greatest in terest. Would the owner turn up? Each day the news ran around that he had not appeared. Amid all the anxieties and work of the day a won derful amount of interest centered around the likeness of its owner. The news rushed around at last one day, when hope had almost died away, that the photograph had been claimed. "All the fellows seemed to grin more happily," writes my corre spondent. "Wonder if you'll think us sillies, Fortune, for being sentimen tal?" Not a bit. There is some senti mentality that is to be reverenced with heart and soul. But there are people who don't be lieve in sentiment. "Sentimental rub bish," they call it. They believe in being practical "in business" and "no feelings, if you please." It does not seem to them that the two things can ever mix that feelings can Je anything but a drawback to doing one's best in life's flight. Feelings and idiocy go together in their esti mation. Among the acquaintances of Charles Phillips, the famous lawyer, was an old gentleman who had ac quired a vast fortune by business and, as he flattered himself, had no feel ings. He was a widower with an only daughter, and when a suitor suddenly presented himself before him one day and asked him for his consent to her marriage with him, he -immediately set to work to discover whether he was a man "likely to make her happy." His idea of doing that was to in vestigate his prospective son's-in-law means. He was rich, it turned out. "You see, Mr. X," he remarked amiably, "it is only natural I should wish to go into things. Emily will, as you are no doubt aware, have a large fortune on her mafriage, and-7" "I would marry her, my dear sir, if she hadn't a penny," exclaimed the devoted one. "You would what?" cried the old gentleman in astonishment. "I would marry her if she hadn't a penny," shouted the lover. "Good heavens!" gasped the old gentleman in amazement. "What a fool you must be 1" Feelings that have not a cash basis are folly to people like that. The lover went down enormously in the old gentleman's estimation' when he discovered that he actually loved the young lady for herself. hoped Her father was a prudent man, had hooed he marrying her for the cash she would possess, and here he was actually in love I It was quite a shock to Htm. )flr3 'cctmxif mint Amm e t . . . vy fSMk ST a- . . - . i Hamburger Loaf HAMBURGER LOAF la a palatable Bisk for luncheon, served hot with browa gravy and mashed po- Pnt three pounds of round steak with four ounces ol suet through the meat chopper, add one large or two small onions, finely chopped, and seasoning .of salt and pepper, one By CONSTANCE CLARKE. vap of bread crumb and two weU beaten eggs; mix thoroughly and shape Into a compact loaf.

I. the earth Increasing or decreasing In weight? Alao, la not it. rotating celerity Increasing? What cause, these phenomenal vicissitudes? N. W. A., Eatonton. Oa. There is no direct proof that the earth is increasing in weight, or that its period of rotation is either increas ing or decreasing. But there are good reasons for inferring that its weight continually increases, and that, if there is a change in its speed of ro tation, the change is in the direction of loss rather than of gain. Some observations have led to the rather startling conclusion that the rotation is irregularly variable. Prof. C. A. Young put the matter in this form: "There are suspicious indica tions that Greenwich noon has, at ir regular intervals of from thirty to fifty years, sometimes come too early by as much as four or five seconds, and at other times fallen as much be hind." If the supposed irregularity amounted to hours instead of seconds it would be a very serious thing for us, but, being so slight, if it exists at all, the variation could only affect our standards of time. In that way it would be important, but not other wise, unless the irregularity should increase. But the majority of observations show no measurable variation. There are three principal causes to which a change in the earth's speed of rota tion might be due, but they do not all act the same way. The first of these causes, and one that tends to hasten the rotational velocity, is the slow shrinkage of the earth's bulk, due to the gradual cool ing off of its interior. The core of the earth must be very hot. on ac count of the enormous pressures ex isting there, but the calculations con cerning the rate at which this internal heat is escaping are discordant, be cause of the difficulty of obtaining any experimental knowledge of the subject. We centainly are not aware of any heat gushing up out of the earth ex cept in the neighborhood of volcanoes and hot springs. But if heat does regularly escape from the interior of the earth, then, inevitably, the globe, as a whole, must shrink. Indications of this shrinkage are given by great earthquakes, caused by the settling down of the rock strata to keep in firm touch with their underpinning. Such shrinkage, as I have already said, would tend to in crease the speed of rotation. On the other hand, there' are two causes which must tend to retard the rotation. One of these is the friction of the tides, and the other is the in crease of the earth's bulk and weight through the influx of meteoric bodies from outer space. Tidal friction is due to the fact that the earth rotates on its axis faster than the moon which is the principal agent in raising the tides travels round the earth. . The attraction of the moon draws the ocean waters into "tidal' wares" or protuberances, which would remain directly under the moon if the earth did not rotate any faster than the moon moves; but since the rotation is relatively rapid, the solid ball of the earth tends to revolve inside a kid of blanket brake, composed of the oceanic water held, so to speak, by the moon. Thus the tides appear to have a general advance westward, while the earth turns eastward, and the effect resembles ' a sliding friction against the water. So much import ance has been attached to tidal fric tion by some astronomers that it has been regarded as a very effective agent in the evolution of worlds and of solar systems. But these great effects are sup posed to have been produced ages ago, when the entire globe was in a plastic state, while the tides of to day, being notable only in the shal low films of oceanic water, produce relatively insignificant results. The other cause (the influx of meteors) which combines with tidal friction to retard the earth's rotation is probably even less effec tive at the present time, although its results could possibly be meas ured if we had sufficiently delicate tests to apply. We know that solid bodies of unknown origin are con tinually falling upon the earth. Some of them, the so-called meteorites, are quite massive, occa sionally weighing several tons. There are magnificent specimens in the American Musemum of Nat ural History and in other museums. But in addition to these huge masses, and in the aggregate more important than they, are the small meteors or "shooting stars" which are constantly entering the earth's atmosphere and being burned up there through the heat of friction. It has been estimated that not less than 20,000,000 of these small meteors enter the atmosphere every day. But since, individually, their weight may not exceed, on. the average, more than a few grains, the total amount ,of matter that they add to the earth must be comparatively very small. But there may have been times when the earth was the meeting point of great flocks of meteors and when the downfall was considerable. Indeed, according to the "plan etesimal hypothesis" the earth was formed in some such way as that But I have little faith in this hypothesis as applied to the origin of the earih. It is generally believed that the small meteors which appear peri odically in "showers" are the scat tered remains of comets. All of these cometary meteors are so min ute that they are entirely con sumed before reaching the ground, but, of course, their dust finally de scends, and specimens of this col lected . from the snowfields of Greenland and from sea-bottom de posits show a composition similar to that of the large meteorites which dp reach the ground nearly intact. . . To sum up neither the growth of the earth through accretions from without nor its shrinkage through contraction within, seem at present sufficient to cause any measureable change in its rate of rotation, possibly because' they in effect, neutralize one another. - f)
