Remarkable Newspaper Feat.

Many astonishing feats have been
performed in races against time, but
probably never anything more wonder
full than that Of producing n printed
newspaper from trees, which were
growing two hours and a half only
before the papers were in the hands
of their readers.
This feat was performed by firm
of paper pulp manufacturers at Eisen-
thai, in Austria. At 7.35 in the morn
Ing the three sturdy trees were cut
down and carted to the paper mills.
The bark was stripped from them,
they were split and pulped, and sent
to the deflrbrators, where they were
quickly converted into paper pulp. At
twenty six minutes to ten the trees
had been converted INTO sheets of pa
per, which were quickly taken to the
newspaper office, and at 10 o'clock
thousands of copies were in circula-
ton.

How to Cook Pruues-

In cooking prunes the sweetness Of
the fruit itself is brought out by long,
slow cooking, so that no sugar Is nee
essary. Clean the prunes by washing
thoroughly through two or three wa
ters. letting them stand for few mo-
ments in tepfd water, then rubbing
gently between the hands to be sure
that every particle of dust and grit
is removed. Put in a jar in the oven
or in a kettle on the stove, allowing
three pints of water to each pint of
prunes. Cover closely and let them
simmer for several hours. When done
the prunes will be tender and the
juice thick. Many persons who can
not eat fruit cooked with sugar can
eat them in this way. \ slice Of lemon
added before the prunes are quite
cooked is thought by many to be an
Improvement.

An old-fashioned custom of our
grandmothers, who had carpets that
were of sufficient value to make it
worth the while of ambitious descend
ants to connive for the possession Of
these same strips of velvet, is being
revived. l refer to the restoration of
the linen cr7lmb cloth. Our grand
mothers used crumb cloths over their
enrpets to preserve them for future gen
wations, but we of the wholesome hy-
nenic age place them on the polished
doors without rugs or carpets Of any
description beneath them. The marked
favor with which they have been re-
ceived has furnished the spur that
urged the designers on to their best
efforts. Consequently the cloths are
to be found in every conceivable pat
tern and coloring. Some Of the most
beautiful are in delicate shades of
green and yellow. with conventional
ard floral designs.

OPPORTUNITIES IN SAMOA.

Somewhere in that mysterious part Of
the South Pacific ocean, where one day
merges into another to keep chronomet-

trouble in marking the flight of years,
lie the Samoan islands, three in NUM-
Der, OF which the smallest Tutuilla. is
the property of the United States The
recent division OF the islands, which are
connected with the United States and
with Australia and New Zealand by reg
ular mail steamers, has assured their
future. Tutuilla, which is as large as
the State of Rhode Island, contains
many acres of the richest soil, and would
make fruitful dwelling place for Ioo,-
ooo ambitious men. 1t could be con-
verted into vast plantations of coffee,
vanilla, tobacco, cocoanuts and dozens

ABOUT THE MOSQUITO.
An Interesting Agricultural Department
Publication.


The Department of Agriculture is
about to issue Bulletin prepared by
DIR. l.. o. Howard, United States en-
tomologist, on the mosquito Of the
United States. 1t discusses the struc-
ture and biology and indicates the DIFF
ference in all stages of existence be-
tween the kinds of mosquitoes which
transmit malaria and those which do
| not, and also discusses the subject
of remedies.
The bulletin says that since the open
ing up Of the gold fields in Alaska and
the great influx of miners and traders.
knowledge of the abundance and fer
ocity of the Alaskan mosquitoes has
become widespread, the Government
surveying parties in starting for Alas
ka for their summers work, are In
the habit of consulting the Depart
ment for mosquito-bite remedies.
Those who were in Alaska the preced-
ing year always state that they never
experienced or even imagined anything
In the mosquito line equal to those
found in our northern territory.
Mentioning the reputation of New
Jersey in connection with mosquitoes,
the bulletin says there is constant
carriage inland from the marshy
coast of very many mosquitoes, the
railway trains seeming to be the most
important mode of conveyance. Many
of the cars contain mosquitoes by the
hundreds. In this way even noun
tain resorts will get their supply of
lowland mosquitoes, and with the
improvement of railway service, and
the increase in the number of through
cars, the danger is constantly increas-
ing. The source of supply to distant
points where mosquitoes are ordinari-
ly rare, is thus kept up.
About 2J0 species of mosquitoes are
known, of which only about thirty
have been found in the United States.
The report says that of the RENE
dies in use in houses, the burning of
pyrethrum powder and the catching of
mosquitoes on the walls in kerosene
cups are probably the best next to a
thorough screening and mosquito bars
about the bed. The remedies for
bites mentioned are glycerine lump
of indigo and household ammonia.
