Putting Up Pumpkins.

Pumpkins are easily canned or
dried. To can, stew till just soft
enough to put through the colander.
fill the cans or jars and set them in
pot of water to cook 20 minutes;
then seal.
To dry, stew the pumpkin down
slowly as dry as possible, so dry that
when stirred away from the bottom
no water will gather. When cool,
put through the colander, spread on
plates in thin layers and dry on the
back of the stove. When the top
has caked little, take a knife and
turn the pumpkin over, breaking in
small pieces. Do this before it has
dried onto the plates. When wholly
dry, pack in stout bags, or in boxes
or jars. To use, for one pie take
one-third of a cupful of the dried
pumpkin and soak over night in a
cup of milk. In the morning put on
the back of the stove to warm and
mash the Jumps out. Add more milk
and heat hot; add one egg beaten
with three tablespoonful of sugar,
quarter of teaspoonful of emma
mon, a pinch of ginger, put into the
crust and bake.-American Queen.

HAIR BUYING IN GERMANY.
Tresses of Young Girls Sold by Their
Parents to Merchants Who Make
1t q Business.

An interesting, if not pathetic, GUS
tom of annual occurrence took place
a few days ago at village 20 miles
from Berlin which will probably be
witnessed nowhere else in the world.
This is the ruthless shearing of
the tresses of some scores of young
girls for purely commercial purposes.
reports the Chicago American.
The girls do not seem to mind it.
The pathos is all on the side of the
unaccustomed observer. The young
women who sacrificed their locks so
willingly are descendants of the orig
inal Slay habitants, the Wends.
These people preserve the Wend Ian
guage and costume.
The women and girls wear large
headdresses which completely cover
their hair. Thus their tresses are
rarely seen until they are sheared
off by the merchants who periodi-
cally flock to that region at the
specified shearing time.
The locks mostly in demand are
those of girls between ~ and II
years of age. The merchants,
equipped with combs and shears, ar
rive on certain advertised day and
establish themselves at the village
inn. Thither come the young wom-
en- who have locks for sale, accom-
panied by their parents.
The hair dresses are removed and
the tresses critically examined,
whereupon the bargaining begins.
When a merchant has named a salts
factory figure for a certain head of
hair, the girls father or mother ac-
cepts the price, which is paid in cash
on the spot and the shears do their
work.
When a young woman has been
deprived of her tresses she demands
as her right by long standing Gus
tom glass of schnaps, for which
the merchant pays.
According to their length, tint and
profusion, these heads of hair bring
from ten to twenty dollars each.
The trade is an important German
industry since Germany exports hui
man hair to all the principal cities
of Europe. Prices are continually
advancing, as it is becoming very
difficult to supply the demand.

WOMEN MAKE GOOD FARMERS.
Are Fitted for the Occupation, and
They Generally Make a Sue
cess of It.

According to Mrs. Virginia C. Mere
in the Minnesota School of Agricul-
ture, farming is pursuit in which
women may achieve pronounced
success for the reason that nature
has fitted them for it. 'The work
is IDEAL" she says, "and contrary to
the opinion of the uninitiated ma
jority eminently feminine" says Mrs.
Meredith. "Why feminine? Because
farming means infinite detail, and
every woman, however unintelligent
otherwise, possesses genius for de-
tail. Then it gives her a home, q
thing almost impossible to secure
in the very start, at least, in most
fields of feminine labor, and, most
important of all, she meets not with
opposition, but with chivalrous CO.
operation from the men in the bust
ness. Sir Charles Dudley, an emf
nent Englishman, writing of the
Americans, says that the distinguish
ing thing about the farmers is their
respect for women. We women who
have made farming our business can
gladly vouch for that.
"Another idea, now nearly explod-
ed, however, is that woman would
find it difficult, if not impossible, to
get men to work for her. For my
part, I, who am both housekeeper
and farmer, could sooner and more
easily hire 20 farm hands than one
servant girl. 1 think this due part
ly to the fact that men who work
on farms know that they receive bet
ter treatment as rule when in the
employ of women.
Gas regards the profits in the bust
ness, both my friends and myself can
testify that farming pays. For in
stance, on 33 head of shorthorn cat
tie which I sold last fall l made an
average of S476. Other women I
know are doing just as well. Some
of them are married women, who,
having inherited farms, are running
them successfully and without any
aid from their husbands either. Miss
Gertrude Norrish, of Hastings, Mimi,
cultivated and highly educated
woman whom l know, is making a
brilliant success as farmer. Other
young women are running farms in
partnership with their fathers and
do their advertising under the head
ing of Mr.. and Miss Blank"

Some Uses of Salt.

For neuralgia take small bag
made of muslin or flannel, fill with
salt, heat, and apply to the affected
Part. Many cases of so-called diph-
liberia could be cured by gargle of
salt and water if taken at the start,
gargling every hour, or half-hour, if
necessary. One teaspoonful of salt
in a glassful of water is a cure
for many stomach troubles, relieving
collie and Indigestion when taken reg
ularly once a day. Wash the head
occasionally with salt and water to
lessen the falling out of the hair.
Salt dissolved in warm water is rest
full and healing for tired and in
famed eyes. Brine is recommended
for mad-dog bite. Wash the wound
well with the mixture, then bind it
with a cloth covered with salt. One
remedy for snake-bites is common
salt mixed with the white of an egg
to the consistency of paste, then
spread on the wound. SSlt-strewn
carpets sweep easily and are left
with frightened colors. - Woman's
Home Companion.

DEATH FROM CARESSES.
An Instance of Fatality Resulting
from the Afrectionate Demon
stratiOn by Lovely Women.

On the arrival of the Australian SOL
aiers at Melbourne from the seat of
war they were welcomed by crowd
whose enthusiasm the police were
quite unable to stem. The female por-
ton was particularly demonstrative,
the men being in many instances liter
ally torn from the ranks to be the
recipients of a yeritable hurricane of
faVors from fair lips. Many were
completely overcome, and one actual
ly tainted under the labial salutes of
300 Victorian damsels, relates Lon
don paper.
Though these victims escaped with
out actual hurt, such immunity has
not always been the case. In the au-
tumn of 1900 doctor was called in
to see young woman who was said
to be suffering from an attack of
pleurisy. On examining her, however,
he discovered that one of her ribs was
fractured-an injury which, it subse-
quently transpired, she had received
at the hands, or rather at the arms,
of her fiance, who had too ardently
embraced her on the occasion of their
last parting.
Betty, the Infant Roscius, when at
the zenith of his juvenile fame, was on
one occasion walking with some ladies
when another bevy of female admirers
bore uown upon him and, pulling him
away from his companions, COM

ments and kisses. The others prompt
ly rushed to their IDOLS rescue, who

chance to the fate that befell NJ. de
Langy, courtier of the time of Louis
XIV, whose supreme conceit so irri-
tated certain ladies of the court that
they resolved to inflict upon him a
novel punishment. Feigning one day
to be overcome by the beauty of his
face and person, they fell upon him
en- masse, hugging and kissing the
wretched dandy till he cried for mer-
ey. Deaf to his entreaties, the ladies
continued their merciless caresses
until the object of their mock love

Sir Hiram Maxim has been investi-
eating Monte Carlo. Quoting the words
of NJ. Blanc. the organizer Of the bank,
"rouge gague quelque-fois, neir SOU
vent, mails blanc toujours,' he says that
in the long run the best of systems can
do little more than reduce the loss
which is eventually inevitable owing to
the heavy percentage in favor of the
bank. The official guidebooks of Mon
tie Carlo represent the average relations
between the bank and the player as
about sixty-one to sixty and that the
annual winnings of the bank are about
100000. This would indicate that
about S1S5,000.000 was taken to the
bank every year and $1S0,000,0o0 won
back from the bank. Sir Hiram was
naturally staggered by the magnitude
of these figures and looked into the
matter. He concluded that the amount
staked each year was about S5,500,000
and that the bank. instead of winning
the guidebook's ~ per cent, kept about
80 per cent of the money In other
words, the chances against the player
coming out even are about ten to one.
