To Can Small Fruits.

If you want your small fruit, such as berries, to taste like fresh fruit, try this way of doing them up. Wash your cans thoroughly, fit the rubbers on, then fill as full of the cleaned fruit as possible without crushing. When the cans are full, place sugar in sauce pan allowing two teacupfuls of gran ulated sugar and one pint of water to each quart can. Stir until sugar dis solves, then boil until it drops like honey from the spoon; wrap the cans in cloth Wrung from hot water, then pour in the hot sirup, filling to over- flowing; screw on the tops, set upside down and leave until the next day. Then see that the covers are tight and set in cool, dark place.-Boston Globe.

TO HELP THE HOME DOCTOR
Some Suggestions Regarding Treat ment of Small Wounds and
 filling Feet.

Salt is said to be a preventive of fostering in scratches, open wounds, etc An American teacher in Porto Rico was surprised to see native, who was clear ing tract of brush, apply fine pow dered salt to his feet and legs. The scratches could not be avoided, but a pinch of salt could be depended on to keep them from fostering, the man said. Contrary to common opinion, salt does not aggravate the painfulness of open wounds, says Peoples Home Journal. The value of salt as an antiseptic is demonstrated by it's general use as a preservatiVe.
 Afflictions of the feet are especially distressing in spring and early sum- mer to those who are obliged to be much on them. The troubles are not due, as so many suppose, to tight or ill-ftting shoes, but to the excessive exercise of the feet in close shoes without free ae- cess of the air to the muscles in action. The bare-footed boy, is seldom footsore, but the lad whose feet are incased in close shoes in summer, when the per- spiration is abundant, is likely to be a sufferer One of the remedies for this trouble is to wear low shoes, so that the feet may be partially ventilated. Next in importance to proper ventilation, is proper bathing. All persons ought to bathe and rub their feet vigorously once a day and put on fresh stockings. Stockings may be aired one day for the next. It is not always necessary that they should be put through water every day. Simply drying and airing them may be enough. Thus two or three pairs of stockings may be worn in rotation for week. Persons who suffer from excess sive precipitation of the feet should be especially particular They should bathe their feet in cold water, rubbing alcohol between the toes and powder the feet carefully with equal parts of orris root and starch. When a person suffers from cold feet, frequent bathing is often efficacious, but the feet ought to be rubbed vigorously after the bath.

WILL RAISE SLOCUM
Wrecking Company Ordered
 to Work at Once.
NEW YORK SADDENEDB BY 19S BURIALS
One Hundred Bodies Buried In Ceme- tery Trench-Main object of City Is to Recover Bodies Supposed to
 Be Still In the Vessel.


 NEW YORK, June 2o-The wreck of the steamer General Slocum is to be raised by the city for the recovery of any bodies that may still be buried beneath it and for the obtaining of any physical evidence that may throw light upon the cause of the disaster. The work will begin at once, and it is un- derstood it will be completed in ten days.
 The cost of raising the wreck will be approximately $1G, 1000, and by May or McClellan's action Police Commis- sioner McAdoo was authorized to con tract for the work at that price, to be done by the Merritt 6 Chapman Wrecking company.
 The insurance underwriters did not desire to expend more than $6,000 for the purpose, and for that reason ac- tion was had by the municipal author ities. Commissioner McAdoo wrote to Mayor Mcclellan asking that he be permitted to take action or that ac- tion be taken by some department im- mediately The result was that Mayor Mcclellan authorized the police com missioner to undertake the work.
 Tn his letter to the mayor Commis- sioner McAdoo said:
 "There is every evidence to believe that some bodies are still imprisoned lin the wreck and that it would be al- most impossible to raise them unless fhe hull itself is raised and moved from where it now is The district at- torney's office also advise me that they feel quite sure that on the hull being raised they will find physical evidences which will throw light on some of the causes of the disaster I have suggested to the district attor ney's office that we might blow up the hull with dynamite, but those concern led in taking out the bodies fear that If this course were adopted the re- mains might be mangled beyond recog- nition
 '"The street commissioner apprises me that he can make good use of the hull in connection with the improve ments at Riker's island. Primarily of 3course this question of salvage has nothing whatever to do with the atti- tude of the city. The main object is to raise the hull in order to recover any bodies that may be there and to obtain any physical evidence which may throw light on the cause of the disas- ter."
 New York was saddened by 198 fu- neral processions yesterday Most of the bodies were bufied in what is known as the public part of the ceme- teries There graves can be had at small cost, and the great majority of the families who were stricken by the Slocum disaster were in moderate cir cumstances. Superintendent Avenius had calls for 19S graves, and almost a hundred bodies were buried in trench dug to the rear of the trench provided for the nameless dead from the morgue. There were no fewer than a dozen ministers who during the day Dhiciated at burials in this trench, and 'the line of hearses which were driven to it and left their burdens there seemed almost endless.

TABLOID PHILOSOPHY.

Done 10 a turn--thc vaudeville act.
a ride in a prison van is one sort OF
trial trip.
1t takes the long green to paint the town

Even the oarsmcn occasionally has a
stroke of luch.
OF course the blind actor has to have n
leading man.
Lots of men arc criminals ana yet you
can't turn them down,
An inquisitve person Is not always a
questionable character.
The umbrella dealer naturally believes
i'm the weather profits.
The man who writes on oil prospects is
generally "A gushor
