WILL RESORT TO LAW.
Who Owns Cedar Island. the Smallest Of the
Isle Of Shoals Group?

Portsmouth, n. H., April 21.-Legal
action for the recovery of the possess
sion of Cedar island is to be at once
commenced by counsel for Leighton
Brothers. The island, which is one of
the smaller of the Isles of Shoales
group was seized on the morning of
March I. by Moses Stevens of NeWbury-
port and q band of men. and has re-
manned in their possession ever since.
The seizures We're made during the
absence of Clarence CaSWell of this
city. Caswell has charge of the is
land for Leighton Brothers. Since the
seizure a strict watch has been main
tanned and no one. who was not friend
ly to the Stevens faction, has been al
lowed to step foot on the disputed prop
erty.
Both the Leighton Brothers and
Moses Stevens claim ownership to the
island. and the former will have Il writ
of entry for possession filed at the May
term of the York county supreme court.
An action for trespass will probably be
brought at once against those on the
island in behalf of Clarence Caswell
Great interest is manifested as to the
outcome of the contest for possession.

Hints for the Housewife

Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as thirteen pounds Of
turnipS.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meats should have the preference in
warm weather.
A little butter smeared upon a bruise
on a child's brow will prevent it black
ening, and is a remedy always at hand.
Gravies, sauces and soups, no matter
how small the quantity, should be
saved to use in warming over meat,
fish or vegetables.
If you wish to keep cake fresh, put
a saucer of cold water in the cake-box.
The water should be renewed every
t~wenty-four hours.
Cheese may be kept from getting
moldy by wrapping it in a cloth which
has been dipped in vinegar and wrung
nearly dry. Cover the cloth with a
wrapper of paper and keep in a cool
place.
When the eiderdOwn comforts or phi
lows lose their elasticity hang them
where the air and sunshine can have
full sweep at them, and in a few hours
they will be fluffy and light as when
new.
If a person is Overheated and flushed
from the sun, it is most injudicious to
use cold water Oh the face. A cloth
wrung out of warm water should be ap-
piled gently to the face. Then dry it
with a soft linen towel.
The careful. conscientious housewife
will always avoid safety. She will
never let any kind of food appear over
and over again in the same guiSe.
Above all other women. the housewife
should have tact and discretion.
Always heat the plates on which you
are going to put hot bread. cakes or
pies. The incest, criSpest pastry, If
put while hot on a cold plate, will be-
come fiabby and not fit to eat. If the
pastry and plate get cold together, The
former viii not lose its iiakintss.

CAMPING for Health.

1t is coming to be recognized that the
summer camping out, attended as it Of
ten is by fatigue and Inconvenience
of all kinds, adds materially to the
years stock of vitality in those who
indulge in it. 1t is not that there is any
improvement in the food or the manne
Of cooking it, in the means of exercise
Or rest, but owing to the life in the open
air.

and the air is a rare tonic, ven when
it is not perfectly balmy. SO let us
get all we can of it this summer. 1t is
Obtainable free about Il own homes.
TO get it easily, let there be seats plac-

open air, and mark the result at the end
of one season.-Womankind.

FrieI Cucumbers.

Fried cucumbers are recommended
by a correspondent as being a very
palatable dish. The receipt for this
unusual preparation is as follows: Peel
and slice lengthwise and sprinkle with
salt and pepper. Dip in lightly beaten
egg, roll in -four and fry quickly in
very hot grease, placing only a few
slices at a time in the frying pan. Serve
hot. They have much the taste Of
fried oysters.
