Unusual Ways of Serving Celery and Winter Apples.

Among (lie appetizing relishes so much used is stuffed celery. As a change from celery stuffed with cheese, try the following: Select four tender stalks of celery of the same length and cut in halves; stuff with a mixture of equal parts of chopped raisins, dates and figs. Arrange them in star shapes on a round plate and garnish with cel­ery tips.

A dainty luncheon or supper dessert, says Good Housekeeping, is apple cup. Here is the recipe:

Select medium sized firm apples; Bcoop out the centers from the stem end, leaving nbout one-fourth of the core at the blossom end. Cook in a sirup made with equal parts sugar and water until the apples may be pierced with a fork but are not in danger of breaking. Remove to the serving dish and fill each apple with a mixture of chopped raisins, dates and figs. Pour a little of the sirup over them and gar­nish with whipped cream. If desired uncooked apples may be used, in which case the skin should be left on. Red apples are the most attractive;

Solitary Confinement. The punishment which replaced the

death penalty in Italy---nah5ely, life tan* prisonment with solitary confinement —is considered to be much worse than death itself. Murderers sentenced: to life imprisonment invoke death, to end their sufferings, isolation, complete In the very sense of the word—En­forced Idleness, lack of exercise and sufficient food and continual surveil­lance in a cell so small as to almost ren'B.ei' any movement Impossible—stjcb, is the fate of a murderer In Italy.. Splr Ittiry confinement lasts for five lftng' years, sometimes for ten, but convicts can hardly bear it for more thaii s i s months. Invariably they are Jnsane long before the tjsi«m exRh'es* and of­ten they commif'SuJcide. fThe fear of solitary <*di(taement acts as a preven­tive to murder as much as and perhaps much more than that of capital pun­ishment. It is cjuite true that the cases of murder have not diminished to any great extent in Italy ulnce the abolition of the death benalty; but, on the othar tiatld, they have not in­creased.—Chicago News.

. ' '• ' German Justice. A curious illustration of the princi­

ple'of responsibility abroad is afford­ed by a civil damage suit growing out of the breaking of a plate glass/win­dow in. a German town.- A witness bad itesfified as follows: ;;

As I was passing down the street in front of the window I saw a' 'btgS'love story is ikver represen t ' ^ Itt ^ stone come whirling through the ait? I did not know whence it came. I saw it coming through the air, and 1 had just time enough to dodge to save myself from being hit by it." " ; ' ,

The witness was sharply questioned upon the point whether the stone tha t broke the window would have struck him had he not dodged it. He was then dismissed.-' Eventually the deci­sion of the magistrate was this: .

"Inasmuch as if the witness had not unfortunately ducked his head the glass would not have been struck by the stone, he^is hereby adjudged re­sponsible for the breaking of the win­dow and'if-ordered to pay to the own­er the value of the same."—Chicago Inter iOceah.' with loops in single patterns, oquares, circles, borders, etc., are marked off and then filled im When finished these loops should be cut about a quarter of an inch' off the top.

To Destroy Pests. There is a simple remedy for destroy­

ing insects that are sometimes found • on household pets—dogs, cats, birds, ' etc.—which is not generally known, but which is said to be absolutely sure in its results. It is simply to wash the animal with the water in which pota­toes have been boiled. When prepar­ing the vegetables for dinner put plenty of water in the vessel in Which they are boiled; then, when the potatoes are thoroughly cooked, pour this water off into a bucket or pan. When it is air most cold apply it to the skin of the animal with a sponge or cloth, taking care that it soaks well into the skin if the animal has long hair or thick fur^ then with a soft scrubbing brush .,(a--TOilhvuah^y'iJL^oa^cr^lv.th.e_ skin,^. separating the hair as you work.

Do not rinse this off with clear water. Let it dry thoroughly first; then wash the animal with clear water and a good strong soap. The first ap­plication Is generally effectual, but if the case is a stubborn one it had bet­ter be repeated a few times in order to destroy the eggs,

COLONIAL RUGS.

A Dangerous"Precedent. The best case which 1 have seen of

law versus justice and common sense is one which Montaigne relates as hav­ing happened in his own day. Some men were condemned to death for mur­der. The judges were then informed by the officers of an inferior court tha t certain persons in their custody had confessed themselves guilty of the murder in question and had told so circumstantial a tale that the fact was placed beyond all doubt. Nevertheless Jt was deemed so bad a precedent to revoke a sentence and show that the law could err that the innocent men were delivered over to execution.— London G"«i>i,f'>

KIWS' GENERAL CASH The Hand Woven Sort Are Again In

Favor. The baud woven rug or the colonial

squares have come back to favor in the general return to the colonial styles of interior decoration that have swept over onr homes.

There are many forms of hand wov­en rugs, the braided form being the. easiest. A single braid of three strands is made of strips of cotton materials of many colors, sewed in long strands and collected in large balls before the braiding is begun.

The plaited rug can be in a round form or a long oval rug. Some women a re emphasizing one color, and there­fore the long strips are dyed by any of the directions that come with reliable dyes on the market.

A hooked rug may be made of pieces of linen, silk, gingham, etc., and a piece of burlap or bagging.

The small pieces are g u l l e d up through the weave of the' burlap by means of a rug hook. The strands are drawn tightly On the under surface, and when finished the wrong side re­sembles a series of plain stitches. On the upper side the rea jg loops one inch deep.
