BITS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Few suggestions Which May Not
Come Amiss in Her Domestic
Dutiex,

A recipe for crab soup said to have
descended from Martha Washington
herself is found in an old manuscript
recipe book: Fifteen crabs thrown
into boiling water alive. Boil until
done; meat picked up fine; put into
two quarts of water in which pound
OF middling bacon has been boiled.
Beat yolks of two eggs; stir in pint
of rich milk which has been heated.
Then pour into the boiling crab soup,
which must not boil, but cook few
minutes after mixing. Season with
salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
An easy way to soften hard water
delightfully."- is to throw orange peel
into it just before the water is used.
The peel will not only prove agree
able to the skin, but will give out a
fragrance like that which follows the
use of toilet water, says the New
York Post.
A delicious rice compound calls for
pint of rice thoroughly washed and
put in a saucepan with pint of
boiled milk and stick of cinnamon.
After cooking until the milk is abb
sorbed remove from the stove, take
out the cinnamon and set the rice
and milk aside to cool. When cold
add the yolks of four eggs beaten
together with an ounce of sugar.
Beat the whites of six eggs to a
foam. Whisk into the rice and beat
the mixture thoroughly. Pour it into
buttered dish, bake to light brown
and serve the moment it leaves the
oven.
For an irritating throat cold and
rasping cough an old-fashioned home
remedy that has received the indorse-
ment of more than one physician is
worth noting. Pour half a pint of
hot water over a pound of the best
gum arabic; cover and let stand I'M
til the gum is dissolved, then add a
quarter of pound of pure white
sugar and a full half gill of strained
lemon juice. Simmer the mixture
over the fire about ten minutes be-
fore bottling and sealing with tight
cork. This sirup may be taken by
the teaspoonful diluted with little
wafer at frequent intervals.
A harmless and clearly treatment
to drive away mice is to saturate a
cloth with cayenne pepper in solu-
ticn and stuff it into the hole. Dry
cayenne thrown about will keep ants
and cockroaches away.
Salad baskets, for the benefit of
those who may not know, are large,
round, shallow affairs made with
handles and widely woven of fine,
strong willow. In these the fresh
green salad leaves are washed. They
should be cut from the roots and
dropped loosely into the basket.
Plunge basket and all up and down
in a large pan of water, after which
they should stand in cool place to
allow the leaves to drain.

RARE FINDS IN ARMENIA.
Important Scientific Discoveries
Made by German Delivers Among
Cha1denn Remains

The interest Of the German govern
ment in the Bagdad railway has led
it to dispatch important missions to
Armenia for the purpose of making
archaeological explorations in Ar
menia. The first of these expeditions
was intrusted to DR.. w. Belck alone,
and in 1898 and 1899 he was accom-
panied by the assyrio.ogist, DR.. C. F.
lehman. The report of these expe-
ditions has just been issued, says the
Paris Messenger, and the results to
science are most important. The first
indications of civilizatio in the
mountain lands bordering on Lake
Van were made known by the French
traveller, DR.. Schultz, who copied
number of inscriptions on the rocky
walls of the fortress of the city -oss-
Van. Schultz, unfortunately, was
killed by the Kurds, but his diaries and
copies of inscriptions Were recovered
and published by the French govern
ment in the Journal Asiatique.
Layard, who visited Armenia in 1S49,
copied a number of inscriptions, and
Rassam, who made several visits to the
country and excavated at Toprak
Kaleh, the ancient palace of the Vannic
kings, copied or took casts of several
more, but the work of the German ex-
petitions has greatly increased our
knowledge of the country. The MEM

appeared from the field of history.
The capital city was Van, on the lake,
of that name, called Dhuspas-the-
Tosps of the classics-but the royal
residence seems to have been at Top
fak haleh. called at later period 'Ru-
sas town." The northern boundaries
of the empire are uncertain, but sew
eral inscriptions were found in Rus
sian Armenia. On the east the inscrip-
tons were found as far as Lake Uro-
mlyeh, and one on the rocky heights
near Rowandiz, on the summit of the
pass of Keli-shin, $4,000 feet above sea
level. This INSCRIPTION was first discoy-
cred by Sir Henry Rawlinson, and was
set up during the joint reigns of the
Kings Ispunis and Menuas, about B. C.
800. Westward, on the rocks at Palu.
on the Euphrates, near Malatiyeh, the
inscriptions of Menuas are also found.

NOT A NATIONAL BANK.
Woman Gives n Street Car Conductor
a Ten-Dollnr Note and Regretted
Having Done So.

One of those thoughtful women who
present ten-dollar bill on street car
for their five-cent fare received les
son the other day which she is not apt
to forget. She handed the bill to the
conductor with an air of innocent I'M
concern which was just little too
pronounced to be natural. The con-
ductor, young fellow, unlike most
of his kind, made no protest. The
woman looked relieved in spite of her
self as he accepted the money and
retreated to the rear platform of the
car to make change.
It was fully ten minutes later before
the young man strobe into the car,
holding both hands before him so as
to form cup.
"Here you are, madam" he an
nounced, in a loud voice which at
tracted the attention of the otherpas-
sengers. "Here's the change for that
ten-dollar bill. I'd advise you to count
it and make sure it's all right"
Saying this, he opened his hands and
poured a stream of dimes, nickels and
cents into the woman's lap.
"Oh, OH" gasped the woman, as she
gathered up her dress to prevent the
coins falling on the floor. ''Why, this
is dreadful! I can't get all this money
in my purse. Haven't you got larger
change than this?"
"No, ma'am," responded the con-
ductor. chats the best can do.''
"But / thought you could give me
bills" protested the woman.
"I'm sorry, madam" said the con-
ductor, according to the New York
Times, "but you had no right to think
so. I amt no national bank"
