How Caesar Found Water in
 ErVIt

The painful intei est now attaching to the water supply of Alexandria has led Dr. Sanlual Crompt"n to call attention to passage in the writing of Lord Bacon bet,ing upon that ubject. "Dig riI," says tic author of "Nvvum Organon." "upon the seaport someM hat above high " ater mark, and as the tide comes in it | will fill with water fresh and pota- ble. This is commonly practiced upon the coast of Barbary where other fresh water is wanting" Lord Bacon refers briefly in confirmation to the experience of C9-ar during the Alexandria war. Tie ,ucitient is told with more detail in Com mentaries attri butcd to Hiri iius. The General oi the Egyptian troops was 1 Ganymcde, who made great cxcrtInns to deprive the Roman troops of their water supply by he introduction of salt into the canals su; plying the cisterns of the quarter Of tic town held by them. When the brac iSh- ness of the water became increas- ingly known there was something like a panic. Some blamed C;eAar for lot :.t cnce retreating to the ships, wliie others were afraid that such such a sep w'.uid lead to further mischief, since ;he r, troeade m, ven. ent toUlI ne, l'e concealed i from Alexandrian tr' o?s More over, in the part in which the Ro- man huops were stationed where many inhabitants charitAlly sup posed 10 be favorable to Caesar and his fortunes, but whose fidelity was not to much assured. All who know thcm,'' in effect says Aulus uirtiu>, twill be convinced that they are most suitable instrument in the world for treason" To allay the fears of the soldiery Cesar assured them that they could easily ind fresh water by digging wells, since scacoasts naturally aboulded in flesh springs, and that if tie oil of Egypt differed from all the others in that resl cct there was ihe open sea apd access by il to Par@tonium on the left and to PharoS on the right, whence thy could obtain supplies. 1 He counselied them to abandan all thought of retreat and to seek safety in victory alone. The soldiers were roassured by the words of their great leader. The centurions, laying aside all other works, devoted themselves to the digging of the wells, and the labor was continued by day and nigh. So vigorously, we are told, was the undertaking prosecuted that during the first night abundance of fresh water was discovered. "This, " says Hirtius, "the mighty projects of the Alexandrians were entirely de- feated, and that without any great l effort on our side.

Poison IN EVERYDAY FOOD.--COm-
mittees of experts tell of adulteratiOn
in food that is simply appalling. Were
the Ingredients which are mixed with
food innocuous it would still be a very
great hardship but when it is known
that the most violent poisOns are en-
ployed it is marvel that the whole
country does not rise up and put stop
to such practices and punish all dealers
who sell poisonous articles of food. If
confirmation of these startling state
ments were needed, one has only to read
the facts recently brought to light in
Chicago, where it is impossible to find
pure sugar, and where 10 per cent. of
the milk is good. In that city the bread
without exception is poisonous, the teas
were imported. but are made of leaves
faced with Prussian blue and chrom-
ate of lead. Seyenty-hve per cent. of the
cream of tartar is white earth, and the
coffee is coated with lamp-black. But
Chicago is no worse than any other city
Baking powders are largely composed
of alum. Picking fluid is diluted with
sulphuric acid, alum and veTdigris to
give 1t a peculiar flavor. The manufac-
ture OF a great deal of our confectionery
should be punished as a crime, for much
of the candy sold to children IS simply a
lump of white earth, made attractive to
the eye with arsenical paint, and sweet
ened with glucose. Costly spices are
counterfeited in a terribly grotesque
manner, the fiavOring being given by
the rankest poiSons. In these and other
adulterations arsenic plays the largest
part. We import annually 1000, 0U0
pounds of this deadly poison-1 cents
worth of which would kill 2. 800 people
and the bulk of this import is used in
the preparation of food and clothing. -

SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING
That fish NAV be scaled much easier by
irst dipping them in boiling water for
a minute.
That salt fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
That milk which has changed may be
sweetened or rendered fit for use again
by stirring in little soda.
That salt will curdle new milk. hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc.
the salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared.
That fresh meat, beginning to sour, will
sweeten il placed out of doors in the air
al! night.
That tablespoonful of turpentine.
boiled with your white clothes, will aid
the whitening process.
That beeswaX and salt will make
your rusty 6atirOns as clean and smooth
as glass. Tie lump of wax in a rag
and keep it for that purpose. When
the irons are hot, rub them first with
the wax rag, then scour with a paper or
cloth spTinkled with salt.
That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes that have been hardened by wa
ter, and will render pliable as new.
That cold rain water and soap will re-
move machine grease from washable ia
bricS.

PERMANENT TLEMONADE.-Somec COM
petent sanitary and bibulous authority
asserts that when people feel the need
of an acid, if they would let vinigar
alone and use lemons OF apples tbey
would feel just as well satisfied and re-
ceive no injury. A good suggestion NAV
not come amiss as to a good plan when
lemons are plentiful and cheap. Pur-
chase several dozen and prepare them
for use III the warm days of summer.
when acids, especially citic and molic
or the acids of lemons are so grateful
and useful. Press your hand on the
lemon and roll it back and forth on the
table to make it squeeze more easily /.
then press the juice into a bowl or tum3
bier-never into tin strain out all the
seeds, as they give a bad taste. Remove
all the pulps--to extract the acid. A
few minutes boiling is enough then
strain the water with the Juice of the
lemons put a pound of white sugar to
a pint of the juice boil ten minutes and
bottle it, and your lemon syrup is ready.
Put tablespoonful or two CT this sv
rup in glass of water, and you have a
cool, healthful drink.

EDIBLE LOCUSTS.

Not a few commentators have stumb-
led over the statement that John the
Baptist did eat lOcusts.n Not know
ing that in the east locusts are eaten.
even IN these days, it was suggested
that some sort of bean was meant.
There is bean, which may be found
at some drug stores, known as the st,
John bean, the name, doubtless, being
given from the mistaken notion that it
represented the ''locusts'' referred to-
The following extracts from LADY
Blunt's pilgrimage to Nejd'' sets the
matter at rest, by showing that lOcusts
are eaten to-day in Arabia
Locusts are now a regular portion of
the days provision with us, and are real
ly an excellent article of diet. After
trying them in several ways. we have
come to the conclusion that they are
best plain boiled,
The long, hopping legs must be pulled
off and the lOcusts held by the wing,
dipped into salt and eateu, As to flavor,
this insect tastes of vegetable rather
than fish or flesh. not unlike green
wheat, and to US supplies the place of
vegetables, Of which we are much in
need
The red locust is better eating than
the green one. Red is said to be the fe-
Ildl6. anu green the Uldle, DQJ some say
all are green at first and become red
afterwards
For catching locusts, the morning is
the time, when they are half enumbed
by the cold and their wings are damp
with dew so that they cannot fly. They
may then be found clustered under the
dessert bushes in hundreds, and can he
gathered without trouble by being shov-
eled into bag or basket. Later on the
sun dries their wings and they are diff
cult to capture, having intelligence suf-
ficient to keep just out of reach when
pursued. Flying, they look extremely
like May flies, being carried side-on to
the wind. They can steer themselves
just as much as flying fish do, and can
alight where they like. In fact, they
seldom let themselves be drifted against
by men or camels, and seem able TO cal
culate exactly the reach of a stick.
They devOur everything vegetable,
and are devOured by everything animal,
desert larks and bustaTds, ravens, hawks
aud buZzards. The camels munich them
in with their food, the greyhOunds run
swapping after them all day long, eating
as many as they can catch. The Be
douins often give them to the horses,
and Amward says that this year many
tribes have nothing to eat just now but
]ocusts and camel's milk.

A SOAP RECIPE.

The London Druggist contained re-
Gently q carefully written article on soap
making from which we borrow the fol-
lowing:
1t IS perfectly easy to make q few
pounds of soap at a time with this aTti-
Gle. No boiling pans are required. and
it is about IS easy to make a dozen los.
of soap as it is to make cup of coffee !;
or a few hundred weight OF soap can
be made with iess care and attention
than is required to make a dozen loaves
Of bread, The following simple recipe
if exactly followed. will always prove
successful !:
Take exactly ten pounds of double
refined 9S per cent. csustic soda powder
(Greenbank), put it in any can OF Jar
with forty-five pounds flour and a half
galious of water, stir it once or twice.
when it will dissolve Immediately and
become quite hot. Let It stand until
the ley thus made it cold. Weigh out
and place in any convenient vessel for
mixing, exactly seventy-fve pounds of
clean grease tallow or oil. not mineral
oil. If grease or tallow be used, melt
it slowly over the fire until it is liquid
and just warm-say temperture not over
100 degrees if oil be used no heating is
required. Pour the ley slowly into
the melted grease or oil, in small con-
tinuOus steam, At the same time stir
ring with fat wooded stirrer about
three inches broad. Continue gently
stirring until the ley and grease are
thoroughly combined, and in appearance
like honey. Do not stir too long or the
mixture will again separate itself. The
time required varies with the weather.
and the kind of tallow, grease or oil
used fifteen to twenty minutes will be
enough. AfteI-the mixing is complet-
ed, pour off the liquid soap into any old
square box for a mould, sufficiently large
to hold it, previously dampening the
sides with water to prevent it from
sticking. Wrap up the box well with
old blankets-or better still, put in a
warm place, until the next day, when
the box Will contain block of one hum
dred and thirty pounds of soap, which
can afterwards be cut with a wire.
Remember the chiet points in the
above directions, which must be exact
ly followed. The ley must be allowed
to cool. If melted tallOw and grease be
used, it must not be moreTthan warm.
The exact weights of double refined 9S
per cent powered caustic soda and tai
low or all must be taken also the lev

grease or oil added to the lev. If the
grease or tallow used be not clean. OF
contains salt, it must be rendered. > or
purified previous to use, that is to say.
boiled with water, and allowed to become
hard again to throw out the impurities.
Any salt present will spoil the whole
operation entirely, but discolored. rancid
grease or tallOw is just as good as fresh
for soap making purposes.
