THE VIRTUES OF LENTILS.
We seem to know little of the value
OF lentils in this country, and yet we
read that the wonderful pyramids were
built by people who lived on lentils
and garlic and water. In the time of
the great Pharaoh lentils We're a dish
that took very high place at royal
teaSts; nowadays it is only the Ger
mans who use them to make highly
nutritious soup without meat To make

Peas and beans rank with lentils as
the three most nutritious vegetables
The former are both dried to such per-
lection that they make excellent and in
expensive thick soups If the precaution
is taken to boil them in water which

FAIR FLOWER DIsTILLERS.
A New Industry That Has Sprung
UP of Late Among Fashionable
New York Women

'It is all on account of the bubonic
plague" says one charming girl, you
know 1t may travel from India to New
York ard it is well-known fact that
during the London plague all workers in
perfumery factories escaped the disease.
Let me tell you a secret just here.
There is no better wash or lotion for the
skin than the products of the still room,
ard if you suDerintend the manufacture
yourself, are you not sure of their purity?
ADroDos to this, the face preparations
now most in vogue in Paris are composed
of crushed flowers and seeds-a combina-
ton of the pale roses of Lebanon, YER
vein of CircasSia and many other sweet
scented flowers that grow beneath the
canopy of heaven, all natural elements,
that help us to retain our perennial
freshness and beauty without the help of
paint or cosmetic.
However, whether or not the bubonic
plague is responsible for it or their COM
plexions. fair maidens are devoting hours
TO their stills and storing their minds
with the literature of the subject
AN AMUSEMENT FOR LENT.
One of the stills used in connection with
this work is curious and interesting, be-
ing an old alembic of the pattern used as
far back as the fifteenth century, sketches
OF which are to be seen in rare old black
letter books on diStillation, to which the
coterie has recourse for many OF its rec1-
pes The work really entails much work,
thought and research-good Lenten disci-
pline this-also much skill and care in the
distillation and comDounding.
Affairs of rose. lavender and orange
flower are obtained by distilling with
water. afterwards being separated from
the water by a tap funnel and then fill
tered.
IN GLASS TRAYS.
Besides distilation. odors are secured by
the process of inflowering or maceration;
square glass trays are used for this, and
the care which is taken of these same
glass trays is only second to the care a
woman bestows upon her jewel caSket. |
The trays which are framed with wood
al bout three inches deep. are spread over
with grease, half an inch thick, in which
rides are made to facilitate absorption; !
this is sprinkled with the fowers-rose |
petals, jasmine lavender, tuberose, hya-
cinths Violets. or whatever you will |
pound of grease. The trays are piled up
one above another to prevent the evapor- |
alton of aroma, and finally all is taken
from the tray. melted and strained. For |
hungary water, rosemary is the founda- |
ton This, by the way, was the first eX- !
tract ever made and by Elizabeth, queen |
of Hungary. who obtained the recipe |
from a hermit, and by it's use she is said |
to have preserved her beauty to old age. |
Such books as "A Treatise of Commodi- |
Gus Conceits'' and I'VE Boke of Distyl- /
lacion are much in request by these fair
flower distillers. and if something new
none of their friends will be surprised-or
possibly some youth-rejuvenating water
may be compounded by these enthusiasts,

The Clear Air Of Attica.

One requires the medium of the
clear air Of Attica to see the frieze of
the Parthenon as it should be seen. I
do not admit that modern Greeks have
any right to own the Elgin marbles;
but should be for sending them back
to the place from whence they were
taken, if they were to be kept for the
gratis enjoyment of the whole world
and if Athens were more accessible to
persons of small means living in far
off countries. Should they ever be
sent back, they should be placed un-
der international protection as a
guaranty against any blood-and-iron
minister or crowned lunatic or any
power or group of powers bombarding
the Acropolis under any pretext what
soever. The pellucid atmosphere in
which the characters of Euripides
moved is their proper millieu. They
are sad exiles in the smutty fog of
Bloomsbury. What message from heav-
en- can they deliver there? At the same
time they are safe there and a student
with the insight of genius may now
and then penetrate their original
meaning. At Athens they would not
be safe in the present state of things.

People Should Not Change the Natural
Movement of the Lips.
Many people, and I am sorry to say
some teachers of the deaf, fail to real
ize, in practice at least, that speech
is not as clearly visible to the eye as
it is audible to the ear and think that
by speaking slowly, word by word and
opening their mouths to the widest
extent, they will render the task of
the speech-reader easier, says the Gen.
tury. AS a matter of fact, they rem
der it all the more difficult A child
in school may learn to understand a
teacher who mouths his words in this
manner, but this ability is of no
value to him when he leaves school.
Indeed, perfectly natural, deliberate
speech is easier to understand than
the exaggerated form of articulation
which people are apt to use the mo-
ment they know they are talking to a
totally deaf person. People who de-
pend entirely upon their speech-read-
ing for understanding others have re-
quested me, when introducing them to
strangers, not to say that they were
deaf, because they find it easier to read
the lips when the person speaking is
not aware that he is being understood
in that way. I have in my acquaint-
ance young man educated wholly by
this method, who travels a great deal
and picks up acquaintance on the
steamer or on the train inst as neon,a

unusually bright, yet whose speech is

gent on the topics of the day, and
