One of the most delicious of mex
pensive cold puddings is boiled GUS
tard. This may be made into novel
form by seasoning with orange extract
and serving it with caramel sauce.
Five yolks of eggs, a scant quart OF
new milk, sugar, n seasoning of orange
extract and a pinch of salt make an
ideal boiled custard. 1t must be boiled
in a double boiler until the mass has
become very thick. 1t must be stirred
all the time it is boiling and after 1t is
taken off the fire until it has become
partly cold. If it is left moment
without being stirred 1t may curdle.
Caramel sauce is made of three large
tablespoonfuls of sugar and one Of
water stirred in sheet-iron saucepan
until it is dark brown. Add now
boiling syrup made Of half cup Of
sugar and cup of water boiled to-
gether for ten minutes. Add also an
inch of stick cinnamon, a dozen thin
ships of yellow lemon peel and about
a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Let the
caramel dissolve in the syrup until all
the Jumps are gone, and let it boil ten
minutes. Skim out the cinnamon, but
leave the bits of lemon peel in the
sauce.

WINGED every reader that the wearers
of crowns oversee are taking the philo-
sophical view Of King Humbert of
Italy with regard to he perils which
beset thrones. When attacks on his
life were made he coolly remarked
that risks of that kind were a part Of
the business of royalty. Reports from
Constantinoplc say that the Sultan,
when he was holding a council of his
ministers, was not affrighted when the
palace was shaken by an earthquake;
in fact, he was the most serene and un-
dismayed Of all present in the cham
ber. The German Emperor is known
to possess the highest type of personal
courage, and he assures his people
that he is not in the least intimidated
by any plots against him. But there
is SO much uneasiness, so much tur-
moil in the Old World that the peace
full American citizen rejoices that his
New World sovereignty is not troubled
by dynamite alarms or threats of muir
derous discomfort.

REGULATIONS ON DRUMMERS.
What the Commercial Traveller Encoun,

American manufacturers will be in.
terested in pamphlet issued by the
British Board Of Trade, giving particu-
lars of the regulations for drummers
and their samples in India and the diff
ferent English colonies. In British
India there is no tax on commercial
agents, and they are also free to enter
the native States to sell their wares,
but in Kashmir all foreigners, other
than civil or military officers of Great
pass. Wherever the octroi is levied on
merchandise brought into town, the
duty applies to samples as well as to
goods generally y-that is, If the samples
are Of taxable value.
In the Bahamas, Barbados and the
Bermudas, no special regulations
touching agents are in force, and sam
pies are not subject to taxation. In
British Guiana commercial traders
bringing goods into the colony are re-
quired to take out snop license at q
cost of $4S, unless they transfer their
goods, by instrument in writing, for
sale to some one holding a shop license.
The Canadian law provides that dur
ing regular warehouse hours and sub
ject to such regulations as the collec-
tor sees fit to adopt, the owner of any
warehoused goods may take therefrom
moderate samples without payment Of
duty on entry. The laws are slightly
different in some provinces, but, as a.
general rule, every part of Canadai
maintains the open door. British Hon
duras requires every commercial trada
er on entering the country to pay liz
cense of $50, but gives n free entry to
all samples, under certain conditions.

largely the direct result of the COM

Its demands increase. The result is
minds overtaxed with study, emotions
strained to a dangerous tension, diges-

physical. being called on to endure
more than is proper for a healthy mind
and body. DR.. Gordon proposes no
remedy for this diseased condition of

The American journal of Insanity
recently published paper presenting
the statistics of suicides in various
countries and among different profes-
sions. and the percentages of increases
during the last half century. Among
those classed as paupers, only one out
of every $500 committed suicide forty
years ago, one out Of every 1870 serv-
ants, one out of every 1000 profession
al men, one out Of every 1850 soldiers,
one out of every 7615 carpenters, ma
sons, etc. There was only one suicide
to every $1,000 of population in Swed
en-, while in Russia there was one to
$4,000, and in the United States one to
$4,000. In the cities of London ard
st. Petersburg the ratio of suicides to
population was about enc to 21,000.
The increase of suicidal mania in
France Is shown from the figures Civ
en- for that country during the last
fifty years. In 1915 the ration was
nine suicides to every 100000 of popu-
lation, while in 1894 it had increased
to twenty-six suicides for the same
number of inhabitants. In eighty years
the suicides in Belgium have increased
nearly seventy-five per cent, in Swc-
den about the same, and in Denmark
about thirty-five per cent. In Prussi-
1t has more than quadrupled, in France
1t has more lha2 tripled and in Aus

Attention was recently called here
to the fact that engineers have taken
q hint from the beaver in building a
dam with an arch facing the current.
1t is said that they are indested to the
clam fol the idea of using a water-je
in sinking piles in sand. The story is
that the jet was first used in 1852, and
by the advice Of George B. Mcclellan,
afterward the well-known general. 1t
seems that he was walking on the sea.
shore one day when he saw a clam
close it's shell and squirt little stream
of water into the sand, by which
means it was able to bury itself more
easily. This gave him the idea of the
water-jet in pile-sinking.

A Tree which Produces Treasure.

On one of the islands in Lake Mae
lar, calieI Adelso, there is tree which
enjoys q curious reputation. 1t is an
aged fir stump, standing quite alone
on high ground, far from any dwellingo
and is an object of superstitious rev-
erence to peasants and woodcutters.
There are three holes in the stump
near the ground, and in one of these
holes treasure Of some kind is con.
stantly to be found. Sometimes it is
n few copper coins, sometimes n piece
of jewelry-nothing perhaps Of any
great value; but if you put your hand
into the sawdust and rake about you
are certain to find something. The per.
son who sends me this information
went in October, 1900, with the owner
of the property, to look at the tree, and
found four pieces of money in the
hole. 1t is well known to the peasants
that if money or jewelry is taken
away there is certain to be more a
few days after. How do these things
get into the hole? According to the
peasants, the thing is very simple;
they are put there by spirits. The ISL
and and those adjacent to it are COW
cred with old grave mounds, sepul-
chers of forgotten chiefs, and ancient
valuables are often discovered. Quite
recently a woodcutter was telling a
tree, which fell over on one side with
half it's roots sticking out Of the
ground. On one of them glittered an
gold snake armband. The man re-
ceived Il large sum for it from the Ma
tional Museum of Sto, ,kholm, where
the jewel may now be seen.-London
