 Peanut oil Is used to meet the Ameri- can demand for low-priced sardines. Most of the French sardines exported 70 America are packed in this oil which is practically tasteless. A small quantity of spice ia used in order to impart navor. The usual ingredients for each can are one or two cloves, a broken laurel lear and a small piece of thyme; these are put in the can before the fish, so that they will be on top when the can is opened.

HOW DO EsKIMos TELL T1MEp
Methods Adopted by the Inhabitants
 of American Polar Regions.


 of American Polar Regions. New York Times.
 How do the Eskimos tell timer" was the enquiry made the other night of man who has had considerable experience in North Greenland In connection with the Peary expeditions. He had just been telling something about the long arctic day with the sun circlins around q short distance above the horizon and the question was natural one. 4
 They have two different methods" he replied, according to the interval of time involved. For instance. if you are about to start on a journey and ask an Eskimo how long 1t will take. he will tell you three sleeps or four sleeps corresponding to the number of days the trip will take, but he knows nothing about a day--only that every so often he has to stop to sleep. And, fortunately. the Eskimo finds it convenient to sleep about once in twenty-four hours. so that his sleep means practically day.
 "On the other hand, l remember seeing Peary despatching an Eskimo one morn ing with a message to a nearby settie- ment, and the explorer kept pointing to the sun, which at the time stood in- mediately above rocky eminence across the bay. l wondered what 1t was all about, and asked Peary.
 "I want that fellow to be back here tomorrow at this time,' he repield, and the only way to tell him Is to call his attention to the position of the sun. He knows that he is to return when the sun has gotten around to that point again.
 Sure enough, the next morning, when the sun had circled the horizon and was again above the point of rock, the Eskimo could be seen coming across the bay in his kayak"

-~--------'----------~-----~--- To Judge the Age of Lace.

ConnoiSSeur.
 In fixing the approximate date of any given piece of lace it Is well to remem- Der that machine-made thread was not used till after the beginning of the eigh- teenth century. Before that time the threads ran in lengths of about twenty inches, for the worker could stretch no further than her distaff, and had to break off and join again; so that if, after travelling some twenty-five inches of thread no joint is found, the lace Is surely after the introduction of machine-made thread. The brides ornee" alone are enough to go by; in the fifteenth century the bar had only knot or a dot as orna- ment: in the sixteenth a double or single loop; in the seventeenth a star. The edging also helps; sharp angle in the scallop fixes the date in the middle ages: the rounded scallop came in with the nineteenth century; with the seventeenth a dotted scallop; the eighteenth century one is more elaborate, large alternating with small scallop, and dots along in the centre of each.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP or FIas, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa, tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system cffectua,ly, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per. manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In tho process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by method known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Go. only.

which will give San Juan and all Of

library. Mr.. Carnegies private secre-
tary, James Bertram, wrote that it was
the millionaire's custom to give ten
times the amount of the maintenance
fund. However, Mr.. Brubaugh hopes
to SO present the claims and needs Of

to combine a public library for San

FIFTEEN MILE CYCLE RACE.
stinson Wins 1t, Bobby Walthour Being Put
Out by an Accident.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, August 5.-Will Stinson,
of Cambridge, Mass, won the fifteen
mile motor pace race on the indoor
cycle track at Madison Square Garden
tonight. Among the other competitors
was Bobby Walthour, of Atlanta, Ca,
but he was only contender for little
over two miles. when a bad accident
put him out of the race, after he had
broken the worlds indoor record of the
first and second miles. Walthour was
Stinson's PAGER. At the end of the first
hour neither had made any perceptible
gain and the time, 1:49 1-5, clipped
2 Is seconds off the worlds indoor re-
cord. Walthour increased his pace in
the second mile and was nearly half
lap ahead at the end of it in 1871 1-5,
best previous record. Walthours motor
collided with Stinson's pacing machine,
throwing the riders heavily 1t was
thought at first that Walthour was
badly injured. He got up, quickly, how
ever land remounted his bicycle but
was so stunned by the fall that he was
unable to cut in behind Stinson and
keep up the pace. After riding a few
laps, Walthour dismounted, when he
retired from the contest. He was not
seriously injured. One of his pace
makers received a scalp wound. Stin-
son finished the fifteen miles in
27:37 2-5.

THE MARYLAND REPUBLICANS
Leaders Gather at Baltimore For the Couyen-
ton Which Begins Today.
(By Associated Press.)

y
Baltimore, Nd, Aug. Republican
leaders from all parts of the State are
in Baltimore tonight getting ready for
their State Convention. which will he
held here tomorrow The work before
them IS the nomination of candidates for
State Comptroller and clerk of the Court
OF Appeals and the formulation of a
platform. But little time will be taken
up in carrying out the program already
mapped out. Dr. Isaac N. Barber, of
Talbot county, or Herman S. platt, of
Baltimore city will be selected to head
the ticket. with the chances in favor of
the latter. The Court of Appeals clerk
ship will in all probability go to Colonel
Thomas S. Parran. of Calvert.
The platform has been the subject of
considerable thought upon the part of the
head man in the party. United States
Senator McComas and State Chairman
Phillips Lee Goldsborough today put tine
finishing touches on the PRINCIPAL plans
to be submitted and everything is in
readiness for its reception by The proper
committee tomorrow. There is little or
no discussion OF it's provisions which are
understood to include strong pledges on
behalf OF the Republicans to repeat the
present election law, to enact laws to
prevent corrupt practices in connection
with elections and to pass laws to gov
ern the holding of primary elections. One
OF the planks, it is understood. will con-
tain severe arraignmenc Of the Demo-
Gratis for their uncertain stand ON the
currency question, which is designed as d
of former Senator German. The
OF Governor Smith will be
denounced as will also be the course OF
the Democrats in attempting TO dis
franchise the jlliierate voters. But lit
tie heed will be paid however. to the
Democratic slogan of negro domination,
it being the purpose of the Republican
leaders to eliminate this question from
the campaign to as great extent as pos
sible. ~ is~ ta.
But little is SAID as yet concerning the
probable successor to Senator yelling
ton in the event OF Republican success in
the Legislative ticket Those
most prominently mentioned thus far are
Phillips Lee Goldsborougn and Congress
men Pearre and Mudd.
