Odd Bits of Information Which May
Be Found of Value to
HOusekeepers.

Cherry vinegar is highly esteemed
by many bon vivants, and now is the
time to make it. Pour over two quarts
of sour cherries, lightly mashed, one
quart of good cider or white-wine vine
gar. Put in an earthen bowl and set in
a cool place for two days. Then strain
through muslin bag, and to each pint
of liquid add three-quarters of a
pound of sugar and let it boil Is min
utes. Then strain, set aside to cool
and bottle. \ little of this added to
glass half filed with cracked ice makes
cooling summer beverage.
Among the pretty curt tains for door
ways in the summer are the Indian cot
ton prints in wool effects. These have
palm-leaf patterns, and at a little dis
tance take on the appearance of a fine
cashmere shawl. A cotton curtain of
some sort should always accompany
the voyageur or the guest at the sum-
mer hotel. With light portiere hung
over the doorway, the door may be left
open to get the benefit of all the air
that is stirring.
Gurrant ice made of the fresh fruit
is beautiful color, and is frequently
more acceptable than the creams. To
prepare it, soak a tablespoonful of
gelatin half an hour in enough cold
water to cover it. Pour over it a half
plat of granulated sugar, one of cur
Eant juice, one of cold water and the
juice of one lemon. Freeze and pack.
In case of sunstroke, when the face
is red and the head and body hot and
dry, remove the clothing at once,
battle the body, face and head in ice
water and lay ice in towels on head and
neck, or remove to a private place,
strip, lay on wire mattress and sprin-
kle with ice water from watering
pot.
Cheese sandwiches are excellent to
serve with the salad course at dinner
or appetizing for the picnic basket.
Crate any cheese that is not too dry,
rub it to paste with butter, spread
the bread, dust with salt and paprika
and cut into strips.
An old Catskill preserve is made of
plums and maple sugar. Melt. the
maple sugar in a little water ard cook
with the plums, allowing pound for
pound. This gives tart sweetness
especially agreeable to many Palates.

It's Human Natnre.

This readiness to accept the wonderful
and miraculous in preference to COM
monplace truth. A plausible and GLIB
tongued doctor can go from town to town
curing, or trying to cure, people, and
have a great influx of shekels, while
every community in which the so-called
doctor goes is supplied with quiet,
learned prachtionore, who have forgotten
more than the fakir ever learned, and
they can give you the best treatment
within the reach of human knowledge.
While your home doctors carry you from
year to year, get up at all times OF the
night and are your servants during the

The Soldier Boy at Home.

When the soldier boy, still in camp,
came home on a two-days' furlough
his blithe sister scared up a tin plate
somewhere, which she set at his place
at the table with a tin cup beside it.
She wanted to have it look natural.
she said. And the. soldier boy laughed,
and said the plate was all right, but he
didn't want to drink out of a tin cup.
The basis of this feeling could not even
be guessed by. the boys father, who
had himself in other days carried tin
cup tied TO haversacl1; but he didn't
ask about it, nor did anybody else.
They gave the boy a china cup, as
they would have given him anything
else they had for the mere asking.
And before the food was brought the
blithe sister removed the tin plate
and substituted for it the best china
plate that the house contained. And
then they fed him on the fatted calf.
They'll bring out all the crockery and
kill the whole menagerie when the boy
comes home.-N. Y. Sun.

The Klinisches Jahrbuch, published
by Gustav Fischer. of Jena. contains in
its last number the report drawn mp
by Messrs kirschner and Kueber on
leprosy in Russia. These gentlemen
were deputed by the German govern
ment to conduct the inquiry, and made
a careful tour OF inspection through the
Russian eastern provinces right up to
st. Petersburg. 1t is very difficult TO

Der OF cases Of leprosy in Russia, as
compulsory notification of the disease
has only been recently introduced, but
il is stated to be about 5000. OF late
years great energy has been displayed
in endeavoring to prevent the spread
OF infection. Numerous leprosy isola-
ton hospitals have been established,
and many of these were visited by the
inspectors. They call attention TO the
fact that the majority of these leprosy
establishments have been founded not
by the Russian government, but by the
great landed proprietor3 in the district,
and that private munificence helps
nrgely in dealing with eases. The au-
hors express decidedly their firm con-
lotion of the contagious character of
he disease, and state that the only hope
{ stamping ii out is to establish insti-
! .utions for the isolation and treatment

FLOWERS OF SICILY.

There are over q hundred Of me
SciIly islands. some Of them mere rocks
swept by the waters of the Atlantic.
The Phoenicians FIRST discovered them,
and here lived hardy pirates who
wrecked fearlessly and lived riotously.
Today peace reigns In the islands and
a springtime visit when the flowers are
thick is restful and enjoyable.
At the present time 1t is not unusual
for fifteen or twenty tons Of cut flowers
to leave the Scilly islands of a morning
for the London market. The steamers
make tri-weekly trips and sixty tons
OF blossoms a week are carried away to
be sold. Nearly every one owns a
greenhouse and tomatoes and potatoes
are forced for the market.
Only I'VE Of the Sicily islands are in
habited. One Of the governors Of the
island, by name Smith. found on tax
ing charge that the trade on the H.
lands was ruined. He noticed, how
ever, that the inhabitants raised . Pc
euliarly good potato. and that In the
gardens Of many grew the Wild mar
cissus. He sent q box Of the fragrant
blossoms to the London market and
had q quick return Of cash. The news

Is q small village settlement there.
On the northern shore of Crab island
Is Port Mula, at the mouth OF q little
stream. 1t contains about 1000 in
habitants, and Is the residence Of the
governor, who Is nominated by the
captain general of Porto Rico.
There Is a lighthouse erected at Mu-
Ia Point, from which a fixed red light
Is exhibited. There is comparatively
no trade except in fruits and fish in
this archipelago. but undoubtedly these
islands are capable Of development,
and will pay fair revenue after they
become a portion Of the United States.
Their natural beauty is unsurpassed.
and over them the trade wind is con-
tinually blowing. giving them a warm.
delightful climate.
To the west of Porto Rico other is
lands to become the property Of the
United States are Mona and Monica is
lands, lying close together in the Mona
Passage. and Desecheo island, just on
the northwestern coast.
They have a total area Of some 500
square miles. which, when added to
$500 in Porto Rico, makes quite re-
spectacle total.
Porto Rico extends 81 miles from
north to south and 100 miles laterally.
Running across the island from east
to west is a chain of mountains, the
highest peak Of which is FL Yunkue,
5000 feet high. 1t can be seen seven
ty miles at sea. A magnificent shore
signal could be raised there.
For commerce Porto Rico is perfect
" adapted, for in its small area there
are 1900 streams. 80 Of which are nav
igable and could be used for commerce.
Sugar, coffee, tobacco. cotton, corn and
potatoes are constantly shipped up and
down these rivers, and were Porto Rico
to be fully cultivated many more
streams could be opened and commun-
ication made between others by means
of canals, so that the entire island
would present a splendid system Of
waterways.

A National Custom to Make Family Bx-
C-rsions In Blossom Time.
II La one OF the national customs in
Japan to go out ON excursions, in par
ties OK two or three families, to view
the Towering trees and plants in their
season. The japanese love all flow
ers, but prefer those to which they
look up-the flowers of trees. They
visit the plum blossoms in February
or early March; the cherry. especially
beloved, in April; the lotus in July;
azaleas during the summer; chrysan-
themums in the autumn, and camellias
in December. In the pleasure grounds
connected with every temple there are
always magnificent collections of flow
ers. An expedition especially to see
the flowers is called hanami, or flow
er view. The bank Of the Sumida riv-
er, which crosses the city of Toxic.
is covered with cherry trees. These
give a pleasant shade, and the spot is
a favorite promenade for the citizens
all the year round, but in time of
cherry bloom" the crowds that thSong
the avenue are larger than ever. 1t is
crowded on moonlight nights, and also
when the snow lies freshly fallen. Be
ing fully alive TO the beauty Of their
country, wherever there is a point
from which q picturesque view may
be obtained, the japanese will build
a pavilion, or a tea house, or some
similar place Of repose. from which the
eyes may feast on the lovely land
scape. In the family picnics or ex-
cursions, which are frequent, some
place of beautiful situation from which
there Is a good view either Of land
or sea, is always selected. These ex-
petitions are not discontinued even
when the cold Of winter comes. Snow
scenes are greatly enjoyed, and when
the freshly-fallen snow is lying on the
ground, numerous parties are seen al
points commanding q fine view. The
children are never excluded, but &C
