CHARMS AGAINST WOUNDS.
Survival of the Ancient Belief in tn G
Potency of Spells and the Vir-
tues of Amulets

During the South African war a
number of instances have cropped up
showing that the idea still prevails
that there are such things as charms
and spells against wounds and death,
says the New York Post. Not long ago
paragraph appeared in some of the
papers to the effect that soldiers
watch, with q charm attached to it,
had been found on one of the battle
fields, and was being held for right
full claimant. Earlier in the war a
private's letter told how comrade
had come in safety through a hot en-
gagement by virtue. as he thought, of
an amulet he wore, to be mortally
wounded in subsequent skirmish
when, by the merest chance, he was
not wearing his charm. A relatives
letter from the front tells the writer
of a young fellow who wore a charmed
ring suspended from his neck. The
wearer had it from his sweetheart;
he placed the most perfect faith in
it, and, though he had been in several
hot corners, he had hitherto always
come out scatheless.
Although this kind of belief is of
very ancient date, it is curious as well
as interesting to find it still in ex-
istence in the British army. Perhaps
we ought to say traces of it," for it
is hard to believe that it is widely
prevalent. And yet it would not be
very surprising if it were so, seeing
that certain proportion of the rank
and file are illiterate, and come from
stratum of society which is largely
superstitious. 1t is curious to com
pare our army in this respect with the
German.
Those who happened to be in the
fatherland during and Immediately
after the war of 1901 must have
been struck by the amount of super
stition that, hidden under ordinary cir
cumstances, in the then excited state
of the public mind, made its way to
the surface, much as the mud of a
stagnant pool floats to the top when
the water is agitated. Nothing
seemed too absurd to be believed.
Portents and warnings were seen
everywhere. Black crosses, observed
for the first time In window-panes of
the houses of the peasantry through
out Baden and the south generally.
were held to be signs of Divine wrath
against the turn things in general had
taken in the fatherland, especially in
regard to the church. The excitement
touching this phenomenon became in
tense, and was only allayed when a
Baden glass manufacturer came for
ward and demonstrated that the warn
ing crosses were marks imprinted on
the glass in the process of making.

THE hottest PLACE.
America Has None Hotter Than
Yuma, Where the Sun Burns
Out Mems Eyes.

The journey by rail from Los An
geles, Cal, to Phoenix, Ariz., in mid
summer days is without doubt the
hottest anywhere in the country.
From the moment the traveller crosses
the Sierras at Banning, Cal, and drops
down the eastern slope of the noun
tains, he finds a temperature that is
seldom below los degrees in the shade
and often nearer lis degrees, says the
New York Sun.
Several times recently the temper a-
ture in the cars while crossing the
Colorado and Maricopa deserts has
been even 121 degrees. From June 90
to July the average daily tempera-
ture at stations on the desert along
the railroad was 116 degrees, and the
old-timers said that the sun had not
yet begun to get down to actual bust
ness.
In all this region Yuma is acknowl-
edged to be the banner hot town of
America. The writer observed the
mercury in thermometers at Yuma the
other day with interest.
III degrees in the shade of a wide
porch. AT three it registered 119 de.
grees, and at $40 it was at 100 de-
grees. That was the highest notch for
the day.
At 1870 the mercury was back al
11S, and at six it was down to 116, and
from that hour until two a. m. it fell
hn11y. until
Then the Yuma people went to bed on
cots in the dooryards and on piazzas
to take advantage of the cool night for
slumber.
This is fair sample of the weather
in Yuma and southern Arizona towns
from the middle of June until every
October. Occasionally the temperature
will rise to 1874 and even 1877 degrees
and there have been few seasons
when for 16 or IS days at stretch the
temperature in Yuma has ranged from
ia to 1876.
Experience has taught people living
in this region to give heed to then
diet. Only the simplest foods may be
eaten with impunity. Melons, corn.
fruits and cereals comprise the food
of the wise ones. All manner of Mex
lean dishes and soups are popular.
No one who has never experienced
1t can have an adequate idea of what
such heat means. Many a soldier of
the regular army is now drawing a
pension for total blindness caused by
facing the frightful glare of the sun
and the awful heat from the desert
while serving in an Arizona garrison.
The walls of the buildings are as
warm as If they were about ovens.
The railroad men handle couplinglinks
and pins only with leathern mittens.
Pressing ones hand against window
pane is like touching hot plates.

IN HoUsEKEEPERs' REALM.
A Variety of Suggestions Regarding
Matters in the Culinary
Department.

Black bass with sweet peppers is an
excellent summer dish. Split the bass,
have the backbone removed, season
with pepper and salt, sprinkle with
melted butter, and broil. When serv-
ing have ready some sliced sweet Span
ish peppers fried in oil, and with these
garnish the fish.
When buttering pans, Dario molds,
cake tins, or anything which requires
greasing, use a small, fiat bristle paint
brush. 1t costs ten cents, and if kept
clean will last for years, says the Bos-
ton Budget.
Cold soda biscuits can be dipped
quickly in water and heated through,
or they may be sliced thinly, toasted
crisply and served with coffee. Cold
mullins are good split and toasted.
Cold Johnnycake, sliced thin, makes a
sweet, crisp toast for breakfast.
Do not throw away the salt left in
the ice cream pail after freezing. Pour
it into colander and shake the water
from it and leave it there till it dries.
then return to the bag to be used again.
You will be surprised to find nearly
pint of salt saved after the freezing
of couple of quarts Of cream.
If you have no fat at hand in which
to fry croquettes, roll them pyramid
shaped, set them on their broad base
in baking pan, pour tablespoon of
melted butter over each one and bake
in hot oven till crisp and brown.
1t will take from 10 to Is minutes to
cook them.
Iced peaches appropriately begin
hot weather luncheon. The peaches
are not to be frozen, but kept on the
Ice after they are halved, peeled and
sprinkled with sugar, until they are
thoroughly chilled. A small spoonful
of whipped cream may be served with
them if that combination is liked
As change from the tomato sauce
usually served with Dreaded lamb
chops, try an onion sauce made in
this way: Slice two, or if very small,
three onions, and cook them in water
for few moments and drain. Put
them into just enough boiling water
to cover, and add little salt, and cook
until tender. Cook together two table
spoonfuls each of flour and butter, and
when perfectly smooth add one-half
pint stock, three or four tablespoon
fuls of cream, and one saltspoonful
each of salt and sugar and dash of
cayenne. When the onion is tender
press it through colander and add
the water in which it has cooked.

TO HAVE LIGHT MUFFINs.
Recipe from the Collection of One
! Who Is Noted for Her Excellence
in Making Them

AS much depends on the way in
which the ingredients are put to-
gether as on the recipe itself. A
housekeeper who is known for her
fluffy breakfast mullins, which are
always as light as the proverbial
feather, uses sour milk in making
them, but decries the old-time way
of using it, says the New York Trib-
une. According to traditional
processes, the soda is mixed with the
sour milk before the flour is added.
This method, says the housewife in
question, allows the effervescence to
be over before the -four goes in.
Her way is to mix with the sour
milk the -four. salt and sugar and
then to add the soda dissolved in
little hot water. By this means the
entire mass rises. The last thing
before the latter is turned into the
pans, a beaten egg is folded in. This
is her recipe: Two cupfuls of -four,
one cupful of sour milk, a half tea
spoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of
sugar, half teaspoonful of salt and
one egg.
With all the multitude of helps
provided in these days for the young
housewife, experience is still the
best teacher, and without it surety
of success is impossible. In the mat
ter of sour milk. for example-it is
delicious to cook with if it is at Just
the right degree of sourness. but
only one wise from familiarity with
it knows when that point has been
reached, and no one can give the am
ateur hard and fast rule to follow.
That the soda must be proportional
to the acidity of the milk is an in
fallible rule, but it leaves much to
the imagination.

and salt with the -four. Heat the
milk, add it slowly to the beaten
