July. 1896, they went to Port Erin, Isle Of Man,
hired q small boat, and rowed soaward. Later
Henry was picked up by fishermen on Bradda
Head. He told the fishermen that his boat had
been capsized. and that he feared his brother
had boon drowned.
TIL fishermen searched for the missing man,
but were unsuccessful. The life of Thomas
johnson was insured for $4,000 in several
companies. the largest policy. for $4,000. hav-
ing been issued by the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York. Henry johnson and the
other heirs made a claim for tho insurance
money, but one of the English companies inter-

johnson was not dead.
The matter was referred to an arbiter, who
decided In favor ofthe insurance c. mpany. The
evidence adduced at the hearing tended to show
that Johnson's disappearance and the report of
his drowning were prearranged.

gathered to support the claim Of Mrs. Ruiz on
account Of the murder OF her husband. DR.. Ri

The Supreme Court of Greece is

There are thirteen primary courts and

Pea SouD with Crusis.

One-half pint Of dried, yellow split
peas will make four quarts of soup.
Pick them over and wash in cold
water; then put over the fire in two
quarts of cold water and let them
come to slow boiling point; when
they begin to boil add two more quarts
of cold water, putting it in one-half
cupful at time, every five minntes; /;
this is done in order to soften the peas
rapidly; when tender, rub the peas
through a colander with a potato
masher, and as you press them through
use little of the water in which they
were boiled; all of the water is to be
used in giving thick pulp to the
peas; next put in large saucepan
over the fire one-half cupful each of
flour and butter, mix together until
smoothly melted, then stir in the
pulp of the peas; add enough water to
make of proper creamy consistency,
and season palatably with salt and
pepper. This soup may be made of
dried red, write or black beans.

Queer Things About Fishes.
Youths Companion.


Mr.. A. E. Verrill describes the ways
in which fishes sleep. They are very
light sleepers and frequently assume
singular positions. But the most re-
markable thing is the change of color
many of them undergo while asleep.
Usually their spots and stripes be-
come darker and more distinct when
they fall asleep. Occasionally the
pattern of their coloration is entirely
changed. The ordinary porgy, for in
stance, presents in the daytime beau
tiful irridescent hues playing over its
silvery sides, but at night, on falling
asleep, it takes on dull bronze tint,
and six conspicuous black bands
make their appearance on its sides.
If it is suddenly awakened by the
turning up of the gas in the aquarium,
it Immediately resumes the silvery
color that it shows by daylight. Mr.
Verrill ascribes these changes to the
principle of protective coloration," }"
and points out that the appearance Of
black bands and the deepening of the
spots serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid eelgras:
and seaweeds.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Properties OF Foods.

Grapes are said to make and purify
the blood.
Prunes afford the highest nerve and
brain food.
Apples are among the best fruits
used and are very wholesome.
Dried figs contain nerve and muscle
food, but they are bad for the liver.
Oranges are refreshing and feeding,
but are not good if the liver is out of
order.
Blanched almonds give the higher
nerve, brain and muscle food; no heat
nor waste.
All stone fruits are considered to be
injurious for those who suffer from
the liver, and should be used eau
tiously.
Preserved ginger, cut in very thin
slices, and chopped nuts seasoned with
mayonnaise, are varieties of the sand

BOnnets.

In direct contrast to the large, vul-
gar looking, overladen hats, says a
New York fashion writer, there have
been brought out some tiny little bon
nets that are nothing more than
straw caps. The plait, us a rule, is
coarse and the color more or less ag-
gressive, but the trimming is simple,
and the limited space at disposal pre-
vents the exaggeration so conspicuous
on most kinds of headgear now worn.
Green and blue continue to assimilate,
and often very harmonious effect is
produced. The green of the forget
menot Leaf and the blue of the dainty
flower furnish happy combination.
Nature is safe guide to follow where
color is concerned, and a green and
blue straw hat trimmed with forget
menots and loops of green moire or
velvet ribbon is charming. Lobelia
blue flowers and foliage mixed with
valley lilies trim French bonnet of
green straw in openwork, through
which glimmer bits of the soft sea-
shell pink lining.
