Famous Russian Beggar.
From the Paris Messenger.

Recently there died at Spasskaya, in Rus
sia, beggar who lived to the extraordina-
ry age of 140 years. The son of beggar
he adopted his fathers profession in child
hood. and beggar he remained all his life
Family name he had none, and his explana-
tion was that when he was born only aris-
tocrats had family names. He wandered
wherever he pleased, forging the necessary
passports. He married five times and he
deserted his wives one after the other his
temperament being such that he found it
impossible either to lead domestic life or
to remain long faithful to his marriage
vows. During late years he was asked how
he managed to live so many years. and his
invariable reply was: II never needed food
nor drink and I never allowed anything to
worry me-.

Retaining Color in Tomato Catsup

When selecting tomatoes for catsup too
many housekeepers imagine they may in
this way use imperfect and over-rpe fruit
This is one principal cause of ferment when
bottles are open, as the germs are in the
over-ripe or imperfect tomato and only ar
rested for the time they are kept closely
sealed from the air. Only perfect. solid and
not Over-rtpe tomatoes should be used; re-
ject all having the slightest imperfections
or decay, as cutting out the faulty part
will not answer. The whole tomato is
tainted. Another cause is watery toma-
strong, good cider vinegar The red color
is better retained If you use whole spices
and tie them up in small muslin bags re-
moving them as soon as the catsup is well
favored. Long boiling will make the cat
sup dark. Use only the solid pulp of the to-
mato and boil just long enough to make a
smooth mass. Grated horseradish will act
as preservative and improve the catsup in
flavor. White wine vinegar is often used to
keep brighter color. The manufacturers
use very different formula from that en-
ployed by the housekeeper, and the bright
color you SO much admire Is a trade secret
which you may possibly be able to obtain If
you are acquainted with any one in the
picking trade. But l would advise your
making it feature that your goods are
made according to old-fashioned home reci-
pes and quite distinct from store goods -
You will command a better trade by so
doing.

NEWPORT, NEWS, VA, July IL
Newport News in her brief and siren
uous existence has been too busy LOOK
ing after the almighty dollar and other
things material to take time to estab-
lish a pleasure resort along the usual
lines. but in the Casino Park maintain
ed by the Old Dominion Land Company,
the city has a Godsend of grass and
ozone and without it Newport News folk,
particularly the babies, amateur ath-
ietes and the small boys would be be-
reft indeed. The park. which stretches
along the shore of Hampton Roads and
James River for half mile. is high
above the water and is swept, even upon
the hottest days, by breeze that never

The Casino is ideally fitted up, too, fer
A. pleasure resort and is numerously
patronized in a spasmodic' and intermit-
tent sort of fashion, afternoons and
evenings, by those who haven't the time
or the price to go further afield. There
are bathing houses, owned by the COM
pany. and the Y NJ. c. a. and unsur-
passed in this section. The beach IS
splendid for bathing purposes. Ihere
are boats to be hired for fishing, and fish

soda-water and confectionery stand at
which delightful ice cream is sold, to the
embarrassment Of the young man who
has his best girl on his arm and only

traordinariIy extensive. There are half
a dozen tennis courts. two or three base

the people are given possession. All that
is asked of them IS to keep on the
grass and do IS they please AS long
as the Old Dominion Land Company con-
tin,,es to keep the Casino as park in
stead of converting it into warehouse
sites, the people of Newport News Will
refuse to credit entirely the axiom that
corporations have no souls. When the
day comes that the Casino is coined into
dollars instead of pleasure, Rachel weep
ing for children will be as still small

But maybe by the time the Old Domin-
ion Land Company loses its soul, the city
will be ready to buy or condemn the
Casino and confiscate 1t for property
consideration. 1t will take so much
money thougt1-lnore than the Newport
News Council can spend i'll a dozen ordi-
nary years.
