STRAWBERRY DELEGATES.
Five Excellent Ways In Which the
Much Favored Fruit May
BE Served.

hat may easily be carried out by a
frugal housekeeper. For instance, a
quart of strawberries mashed with the
back of n silver fork, then well mixed
with cupful Of fine graduated sugar,
allowed to stand until the sugar is dis
solved, will do duty for two or three
quarts and make slightly and delicious
dessert if poured over a blanc mango
made either of corn starch or gelatin
Gelatin of the incest may now be bought
at the rate of six packages for 25 cents
and half box makes generous quart
of jelly or blanc mango. 1t is the same
price when granulated, and, as this need
only soak in cold water or milk for two
or three minutes, it will be found very
convenient. 1t is well to have half q
dozen boxes of gelatin in the house
at the beginning of the fruit season, as
it comes in to help out each variety.
A very simple and delicious way Of
preparing Strawberries, raspberries OF
currants is tomake a pint of juice boiling
hot, and stir it into a quarter of box
of gelatin soaked IN the juice of two
lemons; add half pint of sugar, and
when dissolved turn into mold and
put aside to jelly. This may be made
of berries that are not suitable to serve
whole.
Strawberry or raspberry custard is
delicious. Put a pint of rice to heat
and when at boiling point stir in three
even tablespocnfuls of flour mixed
smooth with cold juice, which may be
half water. Stir over the fire until
smooth and allow time for the flour
to lose any raw taste. Put aside to
cool and then add the beaten yolks OF
four eggs; when smooth, stir in lightly
the stiffened whites and bake about Il
minutes in small cups or in a dish, as
preferred. Serve when cold with
whipped cream or any sauce liked.
A hot bread pudding is very good
with a warm fruit sauce thrown over
To make, thicken half PIN of hot
berry juice with tablespoonful OF
flour; when cooked add the juice OF
a lemon and half a cupful of sugar;
when the later is dissolved the sauce
is ready. The sauce may often be made
from leftover berries; even half-ripe
ones may be utilized.
a shortcake must never be an ordi-
nary layer cake filled with fruit, but
should be a happy suggestion of soda
biscuit and pie crust, richer than the
first, while palmer than the last. In
mixing up very cold milk should be
used, and to quart of -four double the
shortening used for the biscuit Ruiz
this in between the hands and sift with
the flour and baking powder an even
tablespoonful of sugar. This latter will
not be detected on account of the
sweetened berries and adds to the light
ness without making the crust like
cake. Mashed berries, sweetaned to
taste, must always be used between the
layers, and if whole ones are used tc
garnish the top they must be very ripe

William Doherty, an American orni-
biologist and entomologist of reputa-
ton, has just returned to this country
from the Philippine islands via Hong
Kong and San Francisco. His latest
distinction was in successfully passing
the Spanish customs officers at Manila
with the complete plans of the city, the
harbor, Notifications and minute de-
tails of the armament. 1t was a dan
gerous proceeding, but Mr.. Doherty car
ried it out successfully. The plans and
drawings were concealed in newly

PODuIatiOn of Puerto Rico.

1t is not generally realized that this
queer little parallelogram in The Carib-
bean has more than half as great a
population as the whole of Cuba. The
population of the Hawaiian islands is
only about tenth of that of Puerto
Rico. which is one of the most thickly
populated portions of the new world,
its total of sOs,7O lin 1897 giving over
PIG people to the square mile. There
are just two of the United States so
densely settled, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. The average of our
northern Atlantic states is but 1O7 to
the square mile. And in the aggregate
Puerto Rico has more inhabitants than
either Maine, New Hampshire, YER
mont, Rhode Island. Connecticut, Del
aware, West Virginia, Florida or both

west except California. So it will be
seen that it is quite mouthful, even if

BRAIN STIMULANT.
The State of Rest, of Quiet and Still
ness of Sleep the
Best.

The best possible thing man can do
when he feels too weak to carry any
thing through is to go to bed and sleep
as long as he can. This is the only recu-
peration of brain force; because during
sleep the brain is in a state of rest, in a
condition to receive and appropriate
particles of nutriment from the blood,
which take the place of those which
have been consumed by previous labor,
since the very act OF thinking burns up
solid particles, as every turn of the
wheel or screw of the steamer is the re-
suit of consumption by fire of the fuel
in the furnace. The supply of consumed
brain substance can only be had from
the nutritive particles in the blood,
which were obtained from the food
eaten previously; and the brain is so
constituted that it can best receive and
appropriate to itself those nutritive
particles during the state of rest, of
quiet, and stiffness of sleep. Mere
stimulants supply nothing in them
selves; they goad the brain, force it to
a greater consumption of its substance,
until it is so exhausted that there is not
power enough left to receive supply.

THE PIPE FACE.
How the Constant Holding of the
Stem in Mouth DefOrms
the Face.

"The pipe face" is described by the
Medical Record. 1t is declared that the
constant habit of smoking pipes has a
perceptible effect upon the face. The
pressure of the lips to hold the pipe in
position increases the curvature of the
lips around the stem, and the muscles
become more rigid here than in other
parts. Thus the lips at certain point
become stronger, and the pipe is I'M
consciously held in the same habitual
position. After long continuation of
the habit, small circular wrinkles form
parallel with the curvature of the lips
around the stem. These are crossed by
finer lines caused by the pressure of
the lips to retain the pipe in position.
In the case of old men who have
smoked pipe for years, the effect upon
the lips is very marked. not only alter
ing the form of THE lips, but of the en-
tire side of the face, causing the
wrinkles that are the result of age to
deepen, and, instead of following the
change their course so as to radiate
from that part of the mouth where the
pipe is habitually carried. Further
more, one or both lips often protrude,
just like the lips of people who used
to suck their thumbs when children.
The effect of pipe smoking upon the
teeth and lower jaws afe even more APP
parent than in the case of the lips. If
any man who has smoked pipe for
any considerable length of time will
take the trouble to examine his own
teeth, he will find that at the point
where he usually holds the stem be-
tween his teeth the latter have become
worn.

Careful investigations in France have
proven that, while the occupation Of to-
bacco working on the part of women
does not affect to any great extent the
occurrence and progress of pregnancy
yet it does fearfully affect the health Of
the infants if the mothers nurse them
and go back early to work in the fac
tory. 1t was found that the mortality
among the children of these women is
considerably more than double that of
the children of other working women.
The recommendation is that the
mother should not return to work
while nursing her child, and when com

to successfully fill the position of gov

masses The drift Of a mans mind
is an awful correct criterion Of his char

world sees and judges him. No one
could weigh the speeches Of Mr.. Varda-

ing struck with their b~roadness, and
the depth and research to which he goes
to obtain the truths on fall questions af-
fecting the welfare Of the masses. The
promotion and protection Of their cause

There would be very little rebellion

full, and cannot be ~interfered with by

crime against belligerents is for neutrals
to lit out armed expeditions to reinforce
