Strawberry Syrup.-A strawberry
syrup should be made of sweet, richly
favored berries and sugar. Allow
about seven pounds of fruit and five
and a quarter of sugar. Pick the ber-
ries over carefully. Do not wash them
unless necessary, and let them be as
fresh from the vines as possible. Mix
half the sugar with the berries in a
stone jar, MASKING the berries little

degrees F., and let it remain at this
temperature for one hour. 1t should
be remembered that this is almos
the boiling point. 1t is necessary tt
measure the temperature, as the syruI
will not be properly sterilized il it is
cooked below this point, and if it is
allowed to boil it loses flavor. Ster
ilize the cans by allowing them te
stand, completely covered, in boiling
water for half an hour. It is as inn
portant that the covers of the cans be
soaked as the cans. Use about one
third or one-quarter of a glassful OF
this syrup, and then fill the glass
with plain soda water, taken from g
syphon which has been on the ice, OF
else fill the glass with ordinary drink
ing water, adding little crushed ice
A large spoonful of whipped cream

AHELPFUL CORNER.
For the Household Department.
Lamps.

Lamps.
Every housekeeper should make a
study of lamps; at least till she has
learned to make their light clear and
steady, and the lamps so polished and
clean they are good to look at.
She should consider not only the
comforts of the family in having good
lights, but their health, and especially
their eyes.
Oil is cheap in spite of monopoly,
and there are few things which make
the home more attractive to the young
people in the family than to have ev-
cry room bright and shining with
beautiful lamps. There are so many
beautiful ones made now that it is
only matter of selection showing
good taste.
The most important matter in con-
nection with lamps is who will care
for them-not pleasant work, but it
pays ito attend to it properly.
Early in the morning is the best
time, and a box with scissors, mop,
funnel to fill them through, a large
tin basin to wash them in and plenty
of soft rags should be kept handy.
The chimneys should be cleaned every
morning-warm water is best, made
soft with a little pearline. To dash
clean water over them and let them
drain while the lamps are being at
tended to, when they may be polished
with a soft rag Or with newspaper,
simplifies matters a little.
About every two weeks the lamps
should have a thorough cleaning-the
burner unscrewed and the wick taken
out, though it does the wick good to
scald it occasionally and dry before
putting it back. If the burners are
brushed, put in the basin, then sprin-
killed. with pearline and boiling water
poured over them to soak awhile, all
sticky substance can be easily renlov-
ed and they may be polished with a
wooden cloth to look like new, while
all odor from the oil will have disap-
peared.
The chimneys should fit perfectly
and cover of light weight paper is
very convenient to keep off flies and
dust during the day.
There are many things worth re-
membering about lamps generally. All
of us have heard of accidents with
them if we never witnessed any.
Children should never be allowed to
touch lamps; the wick should never
be turned down as it fills the room
with poisonous gases; neither should
lamp remain long at the time, light
ed in a sleeping room Or sick room.
Look out for the lamp suspended
over the dining table; if it is not Sc,
curely fastened into a beam overhead
it may give way and scatter destruc.
ton and death.
If lamp explodes the safest plan is
to smother the flames with a blanket
and never to pour water on them as
that makes matters much worse.

chairs and cOucheS having adjustable
cushions are far better; these cush-
ions can be taken out of doors and
whipped free from dust and the wood
or rattan is easily kept clean. Then
too, at little extra expense you can
have them made of any desired mate
rial to suit the color scheme of your
room.
Denim is a cheap and satisfactory
covering and comes in plain, figured
and Illuminated weaves.
IL one wishes a nicer material,
choose silk sheeting or terry, and for
heavy one corduroy. Neither of
these have any wool to invite moths.
Damask, plush and moquette covers
besides attracting moths, are hot and
sticky and entirely untitled for Flor
ida homes.
Leather, plain and stamped is also
used to a great extent, and is cool and
comforta BILE as covering.
Wool and plush which are so much
used in the north for hangings should
not be used in Florida; if plush eff
feet is desired, use velous, which out
wears plush and gives an equally fine
effect without the fear of moths, but
denims are very satisfactory for low
priced portiere.
The same rule applies to floor cover
ings; if your floor is of hard wood,
matched boards SO much the better,
the only expense will be an occasional
oiling or shellacing and the various
rugs which can be shaken without the
upheaval which results from taking
up close carpet. If your floors are
not finished nicely use mating, the
cotton warp variety that does not
break when folded; it comes in many
pretty designs for 8, 10 and 1919 cents,
and finer and fancier weaves at higher
figures.
Use iron beadsteads by all means,
they are SO easily moved and cleansed;
they are now sold as low as $14.OO,
very dainty ones with brass trim
mings.
White enamelled dressers and COM
modes to match come for very reason,
able prices.
Druggets of mating are much used
instead of the woven crumb cloth,
while bent wood chairs are as popular
for the dining room as when they first
appeared. Some of the largest and
finest hotels in the state have their
dining rooms fitted up with bent
wood. The chairs are light, yet at the
same time very strong.
Do not try to get along without the
oil-stove; you will need one times
without number; if only a small one
burner one to make the tea for the
evening meal; then they are SO handy
when you have OH nice gown and do
not want to fuss with kindling fire.
The Puritan is a very popular stove,
having stood the test of years; the
'blue-fame" burners recently perfect
ed, give a heat almost as intense as
gas, and a twozwick stove for $5.48 will
do the entire work for a family; even
to boiling the weekly wash, for the

whose applications have been favorably

list containing something over 1890 names,
and to-day the clerk and stenographer of
the board, as well as an extra clerk will
be set to work filing out the certificates
with all haste. The board has considered
about 800 applications in ALL and has laid
aside between two hundred and three hun

we have not set any of them down as
positive quacks yet said a member Of the
board last night, but there are men who
have declined TO answer under oath all the
questions asked in the form of application,
and most of them have failed TO answer
these questions after their attention has
been called TO the fact that their applica-
tons were defective" The board estimates
that there are fully two thousand prac-
ticing physicians in the State who have
not yet sent in applications. After 1t be-
comes unlawful to practice without one OF

these will come in in a hurry.

DARING BICYCLE RIDE.
Unknown Man ScOrches Down the
Steps of Grants Tomb.

NEW YORK, July 6.--Last evening while
the vicinity of Grants tomb presented the
usual animated appearance for which the
bicycle is responsible, a rather stout young
man, who seemed to be slightly under the
influence of liquor, led his wheel from the
western road directly up to the main portal
of the mausoleun. His action would have
excited no interest but for his unsteady
condition. AS il was. however, quite num-
Der Of persons, including the present writer,
were observing him.
Suddenly they were all surprised to see
the young man mount his wheel with a
quick bound and start directly down the
steps He cleared the first flight with a
series of lively bumps and hit the broad de-
scending path perfectly erect and evident
ly unterrifed, for he emitted a wild whoop
of delight he hOisted his feet on the
coasters and whiZzed down the smooth
slope.
His speed when he reached the final steps
was prodigiOus, and all observers expected
to see him break his neck. But he cleared
the steps with one tremendous bound and
vanished in the darkness. A policeman who
had seen the astonishing feat yelled to the
reckless man and gave chase, but as he
was not mounted the offender easily es-
capped. There was gossip afterwards that
the man mad done the thing on wager
He certainly did it well.
