Few novelists have had the experi ence of waking r.p to find themselves famous thrust upon them more em phatically than has Selma Lagerlof, who is now the most famed novelist of Sweden and is regarded as the founder of a new school of Scandinavian litera ture. Only ten years atro Selma Lager lof was an obscure schoolteacher. As a teacher, however, she had ambitions to enter literary work, but no opportu nity offered until the publishers of Idun, a Swedish magazine for women, offered a prize for the best literary work by a Swedish woman.

Mrs. Linda Hull Lamed of Syracuse, president of the National Household Economic association, has come to this city to spend the winter and promote the interests of the association. Upon the invitation of F. W. Peck Mrs. Lamed spoke on household eco nomics at the congress of women in I'aris last summer. She also spent sev eral months traveling through the dif ferent European countries to study do mestic science problems. In speaking of the conditions there Mrs. Lamed said to a Tribune reporter yesterday: "Although it was vacation time in all the countries that I visited, from what I saw in France, Germany, Holland, England and Ireland 1 am convinced that quite as much is being done to ad vance the study of household econom ics there as in this country. "The European women are more do mestic in their tastes than American women and do not go into business so easily. "In Germany particularly it amounts almost to a disgrace for a woman not to know the fundamental principles and even the finer details of house wifery. In many instances where daughters of well to do families are not trained In domestic science schools they are sent by their parents into oth er families as assistants to obtain the necessary training in housework before undertaking the responsibilities of their own homes. A society exists in Ger many that has for its object the estab lishment of domestic science schools for women in various parts of the land- Thoroughness in performing every kind j of woman's work is the object of these institutions. Farm work, such as poul try raising, butter and cheese making, the cultivation of vegetable and flower gardens, etc., in addition to the instruc tion in housework, is taught. These schools are patronized largely by city people who have country homes. ''l visited the PeStalortzi - Froebel House in Berlin, whi.-li is under, the patronage of the emperor and empress and to which the empress is said to eontribute liberally. The objjict cf this school is to teach of all classes to do every kind of tfork demanded of women Students of rich families are required to have finished a high school course and during their residence in the school learn the practical methods of housework, doing all of their own laundering while there. They are in structed in mending and the care of linens, the cleaning of silver and brass, the value of foods and scientific and practical cooking, gardening, etc. There are special courses in invalid and diet ary cooking for physicians and nurses. In vacation time there are classes where employees may receive instruc tion during the absence of their em ployers from the city. Children from the common schools spend two half days of the week in the school, receiv ing their dinner and paying 20 cents a month. Children of the very poor after confirmation by paying 75 cents a month may go every day at 0 and stay until 7. receiving instruction in the va rious branches and three meals a day. A restaurant which is supplied by the cooking classes Is run In connection with the Institution.

The I'aililon In Quilts., Women nowadays not only. mu«t have the chintz furniture coverings, the window draperies and the painted furniture of their bedrooms match In floral design the flowered paper on the walls, but they make the comfortables pud wool quilts match as well. When hite }n the fall a woman is seen en route to the shop with a bit of wall pa per in her hand. It is pretty certain that Rhe Is going after a gay comfortable or perhaps half a dozen of them. Down or wool quilts form the pretti est as well as the most serviceable fur nlsidngs of a comfortabiy arranged sleeping room. The wool quilts, whiclj come in all <l>e pretty shades of plain colored silks and in ali (he dpsirable flower patterns, ore taking the place of the down to a great extent. "I have a dozen down quilts packed away," said a wealthy woman the oth-1 er day."and I am getting a supply of wool qulHs to take their place.

Blankets can be found now that are nearly as light and soft as the down on wool quilts. The best of these are the French blankets, thick and soft, which have the warmth of two ordinary blan kets.

Two women who embarked in busi ness last week showed shrewd sense. They opened a restaurant foe women, but Instead of calling it by any such plebeian name they named It a club and gave out that none but members would be admitted. The members were selected with due discretion. Mrs. A., who is rich and has a large circle of acquaintances, gave a list of persons whom she thought would be Interested in finding a good lunching place in the shopping district. Cards of membership were sent to these per sons with notice to the effect that they had been recommended by Mrs. A. It was pointed out that there were no Ini tiation fees and no dues. Moreover, members had the privilege of bringing friends to lunch. That was a master stroke, for women dote on taking guests to a place to which there Is an exclusive entree. The rooms were fitted up not only with taste, but elegantly. The well dressed proprietors attended personally to details and greeted those who came cordially, and their manner of treating the affair as largely a jest did not pre vent their looking after the service, which was.as admirable as the equip ment and the food furnished. The prices on the menu indicated that cheapness was not to be one of the attractions of the place. "Club" cake "club" ice cream and other specialties* of the club have an extra price. There is no sign at the street door to call attention to the club. One takes an elevator and gets off at a door on the third floor marked "For Members Only" and presents a ticket if she is un known or tells who sent her. Then she Is treated with flattering courtesy and attention, which causes one to resolve that she will come often a!id that she will entertain her friends there. Ther® Is a reception and lounging room if a woman is tired or has to wait to keep an appointment. Next to social position as a means of booming trade enterprises club rela tions are utilized with the greatest ef fect. A woman WIIQ is the president of two clubs and a member of at least a dozen opened a shop recently. Not only her direct connection with the clubs, but the many indirect "pulls" that she has by means of it were made the most of to give her a good seuc and to bring trade her way.

Then let it cool and pour over the butter. Meat may be preserved iu the same way. To be sure, it will become rather salt, but when you wish to use it take It out of the brine the night before and. lay it across two spoons or sticks to lift it from the bottom of the dish in which you wish to soak it and then cover It with fresh water. The salt will then settle out of the meat, and it will fresh en nicely.

Hut the man who held up the car porter gave a yelp of delight: 'See what I've found! Put 'em back! Start the train!'

A Caroline Ixlnnil* I.efrend. The Caroline islands group includes besides coral islands five mountainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs. Among the many queer legends of these children of the Pacific there is none mere highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these is lands and their Inhabitants. They think they themselves were very strong in the water—in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that a woman and her children were floating around on the reef when a man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoul ders. He had started out to make an Island with a mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him, "Give us a little soil to make a place for our mother to rest, for she is very weak and canr it swim." He took out a handful o' the earth and threw it down, making an island. As the man was going on his way over the water the son slyly made a hole In the bas ket, so as he proceeded on his way he left a trail of land behind. Suddenly he became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the Is lands were formed.

On one occasion word was received In various South African camps that on such and such a morning every man in Officer 's army must change his shirt. The Imperial Light horse, who form ed part of the command, had only one shirt apiece, and that was on their backs. So a messenger was dispatched to explain. But the honorable and gal lant officer, fresh from Sandhurst, knew his business.

Comparative I.onKevlty. It has ol'ten been remarked that p/hile nothing is so uncertain as the du ration of any given human life nothing Is more certain than the aggregate of years which may be assigned to a group of 100 persons or more at any particular age. The expectation of life at a given age, to use the actuarial phrase, differs considerably, as might be expected, in different countries, and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that they are not the longest living among the white races. At the age of 20 an Englishman in average health may expect to live 42 years, and any life office will grant him a policy based on that probability. The American's expectation is for a slightly !lo . i...(1. *>n the other hand, a u.-.iiiun lad of 20 can count upon little more than 3D years and a half. It would seem, therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American temperament does not necessarily con duce to the shortening of life nor the composure of the German to its pro longation. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population are the princi pal causes of their greater longevity. Their position is, at any rate, main tained in later as well as in earlier years. The American who has reached (50 may look to complete 14 years more, while the Britisher's expectation is on ly -about 13 years and 10 months and the German's as nearly as possible 12 months less.

The method used in the United States navy for the economical training of the gunners is very interesting. It is a well known fact that the cost of firing one of the large guns used in the navy is very great, amounting sometimes to SI,OOO or more. To save this expense a very simple method is employed. In the case of the large guns an ordinary Remington rifle is secured in the breech of the gun and directly in the center of the bore, so that when it is fired its bullet takes the same direction as that of the regular projectile. The large gun is sighted in the usual manner. On account of the lesser velocity of the small bullet the target is placed close to the ship and is made corresponding ly small. The method used for the 6 pounder or other small guns is slightly differ ent, as instead of the small rifle a wooden or dummy cartridge the same size as the regular cartridge is em ployed. Through the center of this wooden cartridge runs a rifle barrel which is loaded with a .44 caliber car tridge.
