Why Fruits Are High

The prevailing high price of fruits is
attributed by the dealers to the frost
late in the spring, which nipped many
orchards, and consequently
made some fruits scarce.
Cherries are particularly high now
from this cause, and most of those sold
come from New York. where the trees
were not so far advanced when the
frost came.
It is too soon to hear from the Dela-
ware peach crop, but there are con-
hicting statements as to its probable
size and quality. In the meantime
Georgia peaches are in the market, and
are commanding 40 cents for a Geor-
gia carrier full-about half a peck.
Apricots are poor in quality this year,
although there is no lessening in the
supply, which comes mainly from Cali
fornia. They bring 40 cents for a
small California basket.
Cantaloupes are coming in from
Florida. and are much dearer than
usual, bringing from to Is cents a
piece, while formerly these Florida
canta loupes could not command more
than 10 cents for the best. 1t is
claimed, however. that they are better
this year than usual.
Berries from New Jersey and Penn
sylvania are about the same price as
usual at this time of the year, ranging
for blaclSberries and huclSleberries
from 10 cents a box to two boxes fol
quarter Raspberries bring s cents
for a pint box. GOoseberries, now
nearing the end Of their season, sell al
two quart boxes for 25 cents.
The watermelons seen at present or
the stands come from Florida, and sci
on the average for so cents apiece
Jersey melons have not come in vet
and Jersey cantaloupes are not due TO
a fortnight. but it is expected that tn
weather of the last six weeks vii
bring forth good crops.

Good Cold Cream Recipe

The following recipe will be found
to make excellent cold cream:
Sweet Almond oil ....4 ounces
Spermaceti .... ......1 ounce
White Wax ..... II ounce
y Pulverized Borax .... III draohms
Glycerine SO. ........1h ounces
Orange Flower Water L ounce
Tincture of Benzoin i ounce
White of a small egg.
Melt the wax and spermaceti in a
crockery bowl over boiling water. Add
the almond oil to the hot melted mass,
stirring thoroughly. Dissolve the bo-
rax in the glycerine and orange flower
water and add to the melted mass, stil
stirring constantly. Beat now with a
silver spoon till nearly cold, and just
before the skin food begins TO harden
add the benzoin drop by drop, beating
all the time. Add the white of egg
alternately with the benzoin. Should
the mass seem too hard add a little
more orange flower water. Sometimes
more will be taken uD than at other
times.
Apply at night with the finger-tips
putting on very little at a time, but
using all that the skin seems to alb
sorb. Use n rotary, deep, kneading
motion, and not a surface rubbing.
Leave on over night. Before using the
skin food always wash the skin with
hot water and pure soap. Then rinse
well in clear soft water, and dry with
a soft cloth, letting the skin have time
to dry thoroughly before putting on
the skin food.

rather costly preparation employed by

either the purest whiting, so fine that
it will sift through a piece Of dress

from chemicals. The real adept. such

does not use a cloth to apply the
lightly moistened whiting, but prefers
the tips of the fingers or the palm of

given with the softest of chamois

however, to wash the silver in warm
water, with a little pure soap, after
ward polishing with the invaluable
chamois, nothing else should be re-

Tips From a Prince

Not long ago the Prince Of Wales
gave the Corporation of Westminster
some valuable advice on the cleaning
of silver plate. He was inspecting the
famous Westminster tobacco box,
witch is decorated with finely en-
graved plates of silver, and, as its
preservation is a matter of much con-
cern to the corporation, he suggested
that It should be cleaned as little as
possible, and then only with chamois
leather. His royal highness spoke
from personal knowledge in this mat
ter, since he knows something of the
means taken to preserve the priceless
royal collections, and his advice would
be a good thing for all housekeepers
who have fine plate in their possession
to bear in mind. Common silver clean
ing preparations give a transient pol
ish with little trouble, but are ex-
tremely injurious to the silver. Whit

ZERO ANCIENT TERM

The term zero, which is used TO deslg-

tire absence of heat IN the atmosphere,
was. according TO mathematical histo-

several centuries later the Arabs began TO
employ It. Through the Arabs dts use

twelfth century. II was not generally
adopted in Europe until several centuries
later, notwithstanding its great advan-
tages. For a considerable time there
were two parties among the European
educators. one party, known as The al
gorists, favored the adoption Of the Hin
doc system of notation falsely called

the other, known ais the abacists. favored
the Roman notation without zero or posi-
tion value.
The general adoption of the Hindoo
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that it was explained in most Of

Washing the Face

There is an art about washing the
face. Use cold or tepid water, never
hot water. The latter causes contrac-
ton of the skin, which is inevitably
followed by reaction. Its use causes
wrinkles, fabbiness and other things
TO be avoided. Soft water is absolute
1yr necessary If you would keep your
q lplexion clear. The face should be
{ sered with a lather made from a
cd soap, which should be well
bbed in with the hands. Then wash
he face in perfectly clear water until
Every trace of the soap is removed.
Dry gently with a soft towel Rough
friction should never be used. If the
skin is inclined to be dry or harsh, a
little cold cream may be gently rubbed
IN.
