1t is said that the reason why dried
fruits, and especially California dried
fruits, fail to give the satisfaction that
they should to the economical housewife is
because they are not soaked in water long
enough before cooking TO restore the water
extracted from them by the drying process.
AS 1t requires considerable time to dry
fruits properly, it cannot be expected that
four or five hours will be sufficient for
cooking them as well as for the prelimi-
nary process of soaking. The rules for cook
ing such fruits sent out by the San Jose
board of trade say that the fruits must be
soaked i'm as much cold water as they will
absorb from "a to S6 hours. A pound Of
fruit is then swelled to three or four times
that quantity, and is to be simmered in
the water in which it was soaked until
tender 1t should be kept closely covered
while cooking, and also after removing
from the fire until cold. The sugar should
be added a few minutes before the fruit is
taken from the fire and allowed to boil up
once. Though a certain quantity of sugar
is given for each fruit, IL should we think,
depend on the taste of the family where it
is cooked, as some persons like tart and
others very sweet fruit.-New York Post

It Leads to Vote of Confidence by the
French Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, Nov. 19.--France is to have re-
vival of the Panama scandal. The govern
ment has placed under arrest in London
NJ Arton, the agent and go-between OF
Baron Reinach in the Panama briberies.
NJ. Emile Arton has been fugitive from
justice for more than two years, and the
various moderate ministries made half
hearted efforts to capture him.
The prisoner expressed the greatestw will
lugness to return to France TO meet the
charges, and, incidentally, to destroy the
regulations of all in public life who thus
far have managed to escape exposure.
The news of the arrest of NJ. Arton
makes great sensation in Paris. The
statute of limitations will protect nearly
all whom Arton or others can now accuse,
but y great clash of regulations is ex-
pectcd which will relegate many men to
private life who are now prominent.
In the chamber of deputies yesterday
the question OF the arrest of Arton came
up for discussion. The government declared
his arrest was effected Immediately he
was discovered The matter drifted into
a discussion of the general policy of the
government, and this resulted in the adop-
tion of a vote of confidence, the vote stand

Fatal FIonds in Russia.

BERLIN, Nov 19.-Advices just received
here from st. Petersburg give details of
the severe storm which swept over that
part of Russia on Nov. 13. Owing to the
violence of the gale the River Neva rose
over eight inches, and the islands in it
were flooded. In addition the wooden
buildings along the banks of the Neva
piers, etc, were washed away and the low
lying quarters of the city were inundated.
The peasants inhabiting many of the vii
lagos on the outskirts of St Petersburg
lost everything through the floods, their
homes, cattle and belongings being swept
away. The amount of damage done is said
to be very great indeed and many lives

General Hancock yesterday granted the
application of G. A. Whelan & Co., of this
city, for the commencement of an action
to restrain the American Tobacco com

TO cancel its certificate of authority. The
attorney general says: "A corporation do

permitted to impose as a general prerequi-

dities that they shall obtain goods from
no other source. The enforcement Of such
a condition must necessarily operate as a

coMMuNIcABlLITY OF CANCER.
Its Possibility Not Proved - Conclusion
Reached by a Medical Writer.


Reached by a Medical Writer.
An interesting article on the alleged
communicating of cancer of malignant
growth appears in The Medical Record.
1t says, in part:
From the time that the malignancy of
cancer was recognized, the question of
communicability has borne the brunt Of
the most earnest investigation and the
hope of its solution has stimulated the
most ingenious experimentation of earnest
investigators The results of all such
studies have been entirely negative. There
are no proofs of which we have any knowl-
edge that cancer has ever been directly or
indirectly propagated from one human be-
ing to another. 1t is true that there is
published an occasional case in which
there would appear on superficial exami-
nation to be a direct relation between
cause and effect, but when such are crit
ically examined the theory of propagation
vanishes in face of conscientiously crit
ical analysis. At best they are coincidental
circumstances following the general law
of accidents. Experiments in the lower
animals have thus far amounted to moth
ing, and practically we are as much in the
dark regarding the true etiology of cancer
and its real methods of dissemination as
ever.
The Investigations in these directions
have been exceedingly interesting, al
though mostly instructive from a negative
view.
A person predisposed to any disease is
always an easy victim when any definite,
exciting cause presents itself, while one
without such tendencies escapes every
time.
The writer concludes by saying that the
death Of physician of this city from sup
posed incubation Of cancer was undoubt-
edly one of predsposition to malignant
disease that developed in due time, the
supposd incubation from cancerous pa
tient having no more causative relation to
1t than any other purely coincidental cir
cumstance. New York Tribune.

A TURKISH FIRE BRIGADE.
Its distinguishing Apparatus Is Generally
of but little Avail.

of but Little Avail.
A Turkish fire engine consists simply OF
hand pump, supported on two long
poles, and carried on the shoulders of four
of the flremen. The latter make a great
show of haste. They run at brisk trot,
and keep shouting and yelling all the way,
pushing rudely aside all wayfarers who
are unluolSy enough to get in their line of
march, But, in truth, Turks are seldom in
a hurry 1t may be that their speed on set
ting out is stimulated more by the expec-
tation of being able to levy "backsheesh," +"
If they are early on the scene, than by any
ardent desire to quench fire The clothing
they wear is white, and their lower limbs

There is high tower in Stamboul and
another on the other side of the Golden
Horn at Galata both of which display
flags on tho alarm of fire. The flags are
supposed to indicate the locality of the
fire, but as several localities are sometimes
enlivened by fires about the same time,
these indications cannot always be very
explicit. If fires break out during the
night, the bekjies (night watchmen) take
up the cry, and bawl out with discordant

When that formidable company of fire
men with the hand pump arrives on the
scene of conaagration, the bachi first of

backsheesh for the exertions his men are
about to make to save property. And woe
betide those who admit these rascals For
the furniture is dragged out into the
street, and if the household goods are not
| plundered there, they are probably de-
stroyed beyond recovery. The writer has
been told that householders generally pre-
fer to bolt their iron doors and shut thel1
iron shutters rather than give access tc
those plundering ruffians. Their extin
gushing apparatus is generally of little
avail. Arthur Grey in Cassier's Maga
