Crysta1ized Fruit.

Make syrup Of one cup of sugar and a
little less than cup of water. Boil I'm.
til it threads or spins when poured from
the spoon. Set the boiler, after removing
it from the fire, in bowl of ice water
until the syrup begins to crystalize. Then
dip the flower petals, a few at time, in
the syrup, and with pair of wire tongs
take them out and place on oiled paper to
dry. When partially dry sprinkle them
evenly on both sides with the finest pull
verified sugar.
Spinning sugar is not easy nor is it SO
difficult an operation as the animated
might suppose. Choose dry day for the
work, as any dampness in the atmosphere
seriously interferes with success
Put pint of sugar in a granite ware
sauce pan, pinch of cream of tartar and
half cupful of water. Boil until it
breaks off sharp and crisp and crackles
when chewed; then remove the saucepan
from the fire and place it in cold water
for a moment, to stop the cooking
For spinning two forks are needed. Have
two bars placed over chairs so that the
ends project little. Dip the forks into
the sugar and shake them quick y back
and forth over the rods, when fine threads
of sugar will drop on the rods. Take the
spun sugar carefully on the rods and ro,
it into nests or other forms. Spun SUGAR
will not keep for any length of time, and
it must be used within day or two after
making.

GRAVE OF PUsHMATAHA.

In the same corner Of the cemetery is
chief, who fought on the American side
in the war of 1912, and whom Gen. Jack
son called "the greatest and bravest In
dian he had ever known" A procession
more than mile long followed his body
to the grave, cannon were fired over him,
and John Randolph, of Roanoke, spoke
his eulogy in the Senate, one sentence of
which appears in his epitaph:
'Push-ma -ta-ha, Choctaw chief lies
here. This monument to his memory is
erected by his brother chiefs, who were
associated with him in delegation from
their nation in the year 1924 to the Gen
eral Government Of the United States. -
On the other side of the monument are
Randol ph's words:
"Push-ma ia -ha was warrior of great
distinction. He was wise in council, elo-
quent to an extraordinary degree, and on
all occasions and under all circums tances
the white mans friend.
Upon the third side:
he died in Washington on the oath of
December of Group in he Goth year of his
age. Among his last words were the fol-
lowing: When l am gone let the big
guns be fired over me. -
Near the Indians monument are two
graves of foreigners-one of Catherine
Livingstone de Bresson, consort of
Charles Livingston de Bresson,' Secre-
tary OF the French Legation. She died
in 1921, and her virtues are described in
quotation which reads:
you, you
So perfect and so peerless created
OF every creature's best.
The other is of the Chevalier Frederick
Greuhm Minister Resident of Prussia,
who died in 1895, the monument being
erected ''by order of his Majesty Freder,
lex Wilhelm Ill, King of Prussia"

SUBMARINE CABLES.
Tho Difficulties Encountered In Sending

Tho Difficulties Encountered In Sending
Messages vt Profitable Speed.
While submarine cables can now be
made Of any lergih and at comparatively
small cost great difficulties are still en-
countered in sending messages at a
commercially profitable speed, and these
difficulties increase with the length Of
the line. In long cables there is trou-
blesome retardation of the electric cur
rent, due to the fact that the insulating
cover of the copper strands becomes it.
self electrified, and this surface charge
delays messages by preventing the cur
rent at the beginning of any signal
from rising rapidly TO its maximum
and again from rapidly dying out. The
consequence of this is that while from
400 to eco words a minute can be sent
over a land line, the maximum speed
on an Atlantic cable is somewhere about
81 words "A minute Before the "siphon
recorder" and Lord Kelyin's "curb
sender were invented, the maximum
speed was eight or ten words per min
ute CuriOusly enough, the more perfect
tie cables insulation may be the greater

this covering often increase for the
time the lines S working capacity The
corrosive action of the salt water is ac-
tirc at such points, however, and will
soon cause q break in the cable.
Professor Silvanus p. Thompson OF
the Royal society Of England has in
vented a system of cable construction
by which he expects not only to increase
tho capacity of the present lines, but tC
make practicable the covering of the
3, GOO miles which separate Hawaii from
North America. His plan is to make d
cable with two separate conductors III

Boston, March 17-The wholesale sug-
ar market in this city has entered upon
an interesting phase. In anticipation of
the new tariff bill, which is expected to go
into elect on May /, imposing q duty OF /
cent and upward per pounc on al the
sugars imported into the United States the
sugar importers are now actively engaged
in buying up all available sugar, both in
the markets of Germany and Cuba. for
prompt shipment to this country In an ef-
fort to get the commodity into the market
without paying TO the government the
new tax.
The comparatively small sugar output
Of Cuba, owing to the unsettled condition
of the island and the inability of the plant
ers TO grind, has made il necessary to de-
pend largely on Java and Germany for the
product, and a largo percentage OF the ar
ticle imported here during the past year
has come from these two countries.
There is now stored in Hamburg for
shipment TO this city alone upward of
10, 600 tons Of raw sugar, and steamers
are being sent forward as rapidly as they
can be chartered and loaded -Four large
steamers are now due here from Hamburg
and six from West Indian ports
The valuation of the sugar on the way
and booked for shipment TO Boston alone
will reach into the millions, and the mon
ey saved on duty, provided the sugar
reaches here before the new tariff goes in
to effect, will he enormous.
