Making Lemons Sour.

How often does lemon fail to live
up to it's sour reputation! Until lately
American lemons We're more likely
to thus fail than foreign ones, the rea-
son of which was that American grow
ers did not know how to cure lemons.
The fruit was never tart enough.
There would be plenty Of juice, but it
contained a high percentage Of sugar
and a small percentage Of acid, which
made it unmarketable. But a few
years ago the lemon growers dubbed
together and sent experts over to Italy
and Spain to learn the business, and
now they are producing much better
results. They pick the fruit before it
begins to turn yellow, and put it in a
curing house, where it is kept at an
even temperature Of about fifty de-
grees for about twenty days, which
''sweats out" all the sugar. It is then
removed to another temperature fol-
sixty days more before it is ready for
the market. Thus the highest degree
OF acid and the largest degree of juice
| can be obtained One Of the curious
| effects OF this sweating" process is tc
reduce the thickness Of the skin. II
originally grows thick and tough, but
the acid seems to eat it up.-Beverages

Dutch risherman,s H ouse,

The interior Of one of these tiny
Katwijk houses is study in simplic-
ity; the large room is kept for Sun
days and for company-incidental
serving as a bedroom for the family
In tfe walls are sets Of doors, like
cupboard doors; behind these are box
like compartments in which are built
beds. The other room is kitchen and
living room. The old Dutch hearth is
in the corner; copper kettle hangs
from the crane The table before the
window, with it's china coffee service
always ready, is a feature Of every
home. In the cupboard are just
enough plates, knives and forks for
the family. Cleanliness seems the
| | lXftehWfnyd WYIfsd of every household, for
eVery thing glistens from the brick door
the fascinating brass and copper uten-
sils hanging about. The women's du-
ties are not many, their cares few;
having scrubbed the house within and
without they linger about street cor
| ners gossiping or stand for hours out
on the dunes, arms akimbo. looking
| out to sea. But out in the fields they
do labor hard. Up through the gray
| mist their sturdy figures loom darkly
as bending over hoe OR STOPPING to the
earth they toll silently, patiently, from
| dawn till dusk. Wives and daughters
Of the fishermen spend many Of their
days mending the huge nets, which,
stretched out over the dunes, envelop
them in a clinging veil of black. Along
the edges sit the women, wooden
needle and stout cord in hand, repair
ing the great gaps and yawning holes.

Jack, my boy, back again. he
cried. Il was wicked old man,
Jack. Can you forgive me?"
OF course he could, producing the
torn piece Of paper on which was the
advertisement In Havana he had
taken it to light his pipe and suddenly
caught sight Of his own name.
1T has done me good, you know"
he said in his deep, frank voice.
"Roughing it always does fellow
good, il he puts his back into it. Now,
/ want birthday present from you,
uncle, one I shall know how to take
care of" and he drew Kitty forward.
It was with curious mist in his eye
that Sebastian Stuart put her hand
into Jacks broad palm and blessed
them. He had made terrible mis-
take; he had nearly wrecked two lives.
It is not always that things come out
right at last, and he was thankful
man that day.
Spring evenings are chilly. and the
spotless kitchen, with it's cheerful fire
and the scent Of hot cakes seemed r
very pleasant place as the young cou-
pie stole up to the back door, much
as in the days Of yore they had re-
turned from meadow or wood and
gone straight to their best friend
ITO think that he should have "a
come this very night, my own dear
boyp' murmured the old woman, after
another errand to the sitting room,
where on various pretexts she kept
going to look at Master John, to sur
reptitiously lay trembling hand on
his big shoulder, or the crisp hair that
had always been so hard to comb.
"Aye, the Lord has heard my prayers;
l have got both my children again,
and Master John will sleep in his own
little room again -night!"-American
Queen.
