Tile Tomato in Italy,

In every home and cottage in ITALY
the preserving of tomatoes is carried
on. Terraces, balconies and even the
fiat roofs OF honses are half covered
with Plates containing the deep red
substance. After gathering, the toma.
toes intended for preserving are
spread ont for some hours in the sun
till tie skin has somewhat shrunk,
says writer in Chambers's Journal.
They ire then passed through sieve
so that they may be freed from both
seeds md skis. AS they contain
large proportion of water, the sub
stance which has been passed through
the sieve must be hung in bags, from
which the water exudes, and soon q
pool of dirty-looking water is formed
beneath each bag. Strange to say,
it is in no way tinged with red.
The mixture which remains in the
bags has the consistency OF very
thick paste. 1t is then salted, the
proportion being little less than one
ounce of salt to q pound OF preserve.
The process now requires that it shall
be spr cad on fiat plates, exposed to the
sun, and stirred from time to time
with wooden spoon, so that the upper
part may not form crust, whilc un-
dernesth it remains soft. 1t is pic'
turesque sight when the women are to
be seen fitting about on the roofs
and terraces, attending to the deep
red preserve, their colored handker-
chiofs flung on their heads to screen
them from the rays of the burning
sun when il IS at its fercest. In the
evening the contents of the various
plates are taken in and stirred up to.
gether, for if moistened by the night
dew the whole would he spoiled. AT.
ter being exposed to the sun for seven
or eight days, the same process being
repeated each day. the preserve is fin
ished and placed in jars for winter
use.
Though it is used by all classes of
persons, it. is more necessary to the
poor than to the rich, for the latter
can make. use of the fresh tomatoes
preserved in tins. Tomatoes may be
tinued whole, us we know from those
usually imported. into England from
America. But in Italy the fruit is
usually passed through e sieve, the
pulp being then placed in tins, which
are Immediately soldered down and
then put in boiling water for five min
utes. TIE cost of small tin is half
franc, SO it is as q rulo beyond the
means of the poor.'

How Many Ancest ors Have You9

Grandfathers and grandmothers are
very proud when they can boast of
having paltry score or two of de-
scendants, but no one seems to be
aware of the grounds be has for boast
ing of the number of his ancestors.
Has it ever occurred to you to count
back in direct line? If not, try it
now and you will be. astonished. At
the first remove you will have two
father and mother. At the next step
you have four-two grandfathers and
two grandmothers.
Each of these has had father and
o mother, so you have four great
grandfatders and four great-grand-
mothers. Each of these again has had
two parents, SO that OF the fourth gen.
Grafton back you hs7e sixteen ances-
tors, at the fifth you have thirty-two,
at the sixth you have sixty-four and
ct the seventh you have 1913.
AS you go little further, they rise
to the thousands, tens OF thousands,
and hundreds of thousands, SO that, il
all your direct ancestors for twenty
generations be added toeether, they
amount to over million, and if you
go back another twenty degrees. they
total 1000, 900, 900, ,000-or more peo'
ple than there are in the world at the
present moment, il you leave out
Asia.
Now, as forty generations are equal
to only about 1900 years, il you were
to calculate back to the beginning OF
the world, you simply couldn't find
figures to express the number OF your
blood relations.

but it did me no good. He said the

he must find the cause of my trouble.

gave me treatment without any benefit

after the flow became more natural and
