II has the flavor Of the Muscat grape, and
contains over 25 per cent. of sugar. Ma
pie sugar is disappearing from the list of
good things. Grape sirup is the only
thing good enough TO take its place. It
can be made for 40 cents a gallon. Deal
ers are selling it at 1920 and over That
price will have to be scaled down greatly
before grape sirup comes into general
use.
Cranberry township has had many cur
ious sights and happenings recorded of
her, but at first sight the fact that snow
fell in several places in that township
Saturday while the thermometer regis
tered liz degrees in the sun, would seem
too much of a story to believe, but it is |
the truth. 1t was at Fertig and other gas |
farms in the township, on which the big |
gas wells are located, and the snow was
caused by the rapid evaporation of the |
gas upon coming in contact with the |

Cold, not iced tea. Those who don't like
to use ice as prodigally as some do in
beverages, and yet like "cold tea," will
find that they can have it without the ice.
If you have no ice at all, put the amount
of tea required in pitcher in the morn
ing, and pour over it only enough water
| to cover it; let it stand for three or four
hours, and you will find that all the fla
vor is extracted from the leaves. When
you wish to serve, pour fresh water, as
cold as can be obtained upon the tea and
you will have delightful glass of tea,
with none of the bitterness of "boiled"
tea about it, and sufficiently cold.
The Black Death, which is raging in
China after disappearance of 200 years,
begins with sudden onset of fever, the
temperature rising TO l05 degrees or over.
There is much headache and cerebral
disturbance, accompanied by stupor. In
from II to "A hours glandular swelling
occurs in the neck, armpit or groin, rap
idly enlarging to the size of fowls egg,
it is hard and exceedingly tender. With
or without decline of fever, the patient
sinks into a deeper state of coma, and
dies, usually at the end of As hours, or
sooner. If six days are reached, recov-
cry is hopeful. The glandular swelling
shows no sign of suppuration. In some
cases vomiting occurs, and in a few cases
there is skin eruption. one feature of
the visitation is that the malady attacks
animals.
We have seen a number of watch
chains ornamented with a pretty charm
in the shape of a watch case opener,
which obviates the use of knife or fin
gernail to open the watch. They are
sent free on request by the Keystone
Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia,
, Pa. Your jeweler here may have one
for you; if not send to Philadelphia.
J The Keystone Watch Case Company is
the largest concern of its kind in the

t ton of case, but its great speciality is that
} most popular of all watch eases, the Jas.
