GROWTH OF THE oLEo BUSINESS
During the Year 1900, 900 Pounds
Were Sold in the United States.

During the Year 1900, 600 Pounds
Were Sold in the United States.
More than 100000 farmers signed Pc
titions asking that the Circuit bill govern
ing the sale of oleoma-garine be passed
by Congress, while the makers of imita-
ton butter, who are both rich and infiu
entail, did their best to defeat it.
As indicating the enormous growth OF
the oleomargarine business in the last
few years it is stated that during the last
year 100000 pounds of .'oleo'' were
sold IN the United States, much Of it IN
der false pretenses as genuine butter
This was jump of 25.0O0, 900 pounds
over the sales of the previous year. Dur
ing the last year also the number Of oleo-
margarine factories in the United States
has increased from seventeen to twenty
six. In thirtytwo States of the Union
there are now in existence laws which
absolutely prohibit the manufacture of
oieomargarine colored TO initiate butter.
Notwithstanding these laws, however, no
less than 100000 pounds of the imita-
ton butter were sold in the States re-
ferred to during the last year.
The Grout bill makes the tax on oleo-
margarine part of the internal revenue
tax of the Federal government Where
the State laws are not enforced it is safe
to say that the Federal statute would be,
as the tax would be collected at the fac
tory. Under the provisions of the Grout
bill it is not proposed to hinder or inter-
fere with the sale of ''oieo" when offered

DEATH IN A TYPHOON.

Fearful Storm Sweeps Along Section
of Chinese Coast.
Foundered ships, RACED buildings and
hundreds Of dead men lie in the wage of
a great typhoon which swept up the Chi,
nese coast Nov. 10 and rayaged Hong
kong, Klow, Queens Road, kenedytown
and other points in the British sphere.
The American ship Benjamin SewaD was
driven ashore, the English gunboat Sand
piper foundered, nearly all Of her crew
drowning, and seyenty-seven steam
launches were crushed and sunk by the

drowned. The mammoth dredge Canton
River, after weathering the gale Of Hong
kong for hours, suddenly listed to port
and capsized with nearly all on board.
Sixty men chung to the upturned boat for
a little time, but OF these only dozen
were rescued. There were many brave
deeds done by sailors while the wind and
waves ragged.
News OF the storm reached Victoria, 4.
c., by the steamer Empress Of India,
which was at her wharf in Klow when
the typhoon broke. Her seamen had
stormy passage and they tell hair-raising
stories OF the scenes along the coast when
the gale was at its height. Beginning at
dusk the wind came out Of queer-shaped
clouds of black in the southeast and NOV

pie. Then it began to grow stronger and
Rngrier and the waters Of the China sea
rolled shoreward like many tidal waves.
By midnight the typhoon was raging as
only an oriental tornado can rage. 1t
was topping buildings from their founda-
lions, burying people in the wreckage and
tossing big ships around like tiny corks.
The typhoon blew for forty-eight hours
In the neighborhood Of Hongkong. Then
it moved north without abating its force.
The officers of the Empress Of India say
that it must have done awful damage at
points farther up the coast.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
sMARTHA" DISCUSSES FRUIT AND
FRUIT STAINS-A RECIPE FOR
THE DELICIOUS FRUIT MELANGE.
OTHER SUGGESTIONS.

A combination of different fruits is
called fruit melange, but 1t has several
names, and no matter what ii is called,
should have place in every household,
as it is most delicious. as well as
economical preparation. 1t is easily
made, requires no cooking and will
keep for years If properly prepared.
In some sections you should have be-
gun earlier to make your melange, but
it is not yet too late to secure desirable
results. You may begin, If you desire,
with strawberries, and each successive
kind of fruit as it appears in the mar
ket, but be careful in every case to use
only nice, choice fruit For a reeep-
tacle use a three-gallon stone jar, ana
if you have not an old one that is per-
fectly sweet, get new one.
If you start the melange with straw
berries, you should for that size jar
stem and clean two pounds of sound
fruit, the fresher the better. Add to >.
an equal weight of best granulated
sugar and place the mixture in the jar
as a basis for your structure.
To prevent fermentation, cover the
fruit with a pint of pure alcohol, in
which has been dissolved two drachms
of salicylic acid. This amount of spirit
will be sufficient for the entire quantity
of fruit used.
Cover your far with cloth, tying it
up security and set away in the cellar
or some other cool place, stirring for
three or four mornings thoroughly
with a wooden spoon until the sugar
is all dissolved, being careful not TO
mash the fruit more than is absolutely
necessary The next fruit in its sea-
son should be added in the same way,
always with it's weight of sugar and
the stirring for several mornings after
the fruit is placed in the jar not for
gotten.
If cherries are used, they should first
be pitted. Apricots and peaches should
be pared, stoned and quartered, while
pears should be pared, quartered and
cored. Grapes, with the possible ex
ception of Malagas, should be avoid
ed, as they are too full Of seeds to be
desirable. Raspberries give delight
full flavor and three pints could be
used in your jar without detriment.
Most varieties of plums may also be
put in to good advantage, but in all
cases remove the stones.
The addition of seeded oranges and
lemon peel, citron, ETC., is really of no
value, if the jar can be filled with 9TH
er fresh fruits.
If your fruit is especially sweet by
reason of the combination, you can
lessen the amount of sugar added with
the last fruits used, but never put in

WHIST
THE GAME AS TAUGHT BY HOYLE
100 YEARS AG0-yERY PECULIAR
HANDS - PITFALLS TO GUARD
AGAINST.

A frequent answer to the question,
do you play whist?' is, 81 play an old
fashioned game" Now, there is, in fact,
nothing so very much better than real
old-fashioned whist according to
Hoyle," but this is unfortunately not
what Is meant by the player who
claims to be "old-fashioned." 1t Is
rather a game where each hand plays
Independently of the other. A game
for which the polite name may be odd
fashioned" is better known in club cir
cles as ''bumblepuppy." How many
players are there who really know
whAs is meant by the game of Hoyle?
The statement has been frequently
made in these columns that what Is
called modern scientific whist as played
by the leading experts Of the day is
practically the same as that which was
played by the experts OF one hundred
and fifty years ago
Edmund Hoyle,, the first to make a
scientific study of the game, may with
propriety be called the father of whist.
He was born in 1872, and from 1875
to 1745 taught whist as profession at
q guinea lesson. The following leads
taken from Short Treatise on Whist
show how much the best whist of one
hundred and fifty years ago resembles
that of to-day. Hoyle starts out with
the instruction: When you lead, begin
with the best suit in your hand. With
king, queen, knave, four in suit, lead
king; with five, lead knave." 1t will
be revelation to many readers to learn
that as long as century and half
ago the king was used to show suit
of four, the knave a suit of five.
With queen, knave. ten, four in
suit, lead queen; with five, lead ten. .
Here again is number showing lead.
If you have five of the smallest
frumps, and not one good card in other
suits, lead trump or trump out"
with ace, king, and three small
trumDs, begin with small card"
with king, queen, and four small
frumps begin with a small card"
with king, queen, ten, and three
small trumps, begin with the king"
with queen, knave, and four small
trumps, begin with a small one"
with ace, king, and two small
truInps, begin with a small one"
with king, queen. and two small
trumps, begin with a small card"
Without going deeply into the matter
of plain suit openings, the above is suf-
fieient to show that the leads of one
hundred and fifty years age are prac-
tically the same as those in use to-
day.
Many of the pitfalls that players of
to-day fall into were pointed out by
