For the Invalid.

Orange pulp served in glasses may
be used to introduce either the break
fast or luncheon. For the invalid's
tray the fruit served in this way is es-
pecially appropriate. Cut the fruit in
half crosswise, and scoop out the
pulp, rejecting all the seeds and white
fibre. A sharp knife may be made to
aid in the process, so that the delicate
globules may be broken as little as
possible. Sprinkle with sugar and
stand the glasses on ice for ten min
utes. Pineapple syrup from a can Of
the preserved fruit may be added to
give zest to the flavor. Jellied apples
are delicious served with whipped
cream. Fill baking dish with thinly
sliced apples which have been sprink-
led with sugar as successive layers Of
the fruit have been added. Turn in
half a cupful Of water. Fit over
dish, a cover or plate. which will serve
as 4 slight weight. Bake very slowly
for three hours. Let the apples re-
main in the dish until they are cold.
Then turn them out.-New York News.

MATTERS
Care of Flatirons.


FlatironS in the average household
are too often sadly neglected. They
are very apt to be left on the back Of
the stove, where they can never be-
come thoroughly cold, and where in
time they lose their power to regain
heat. Like all iron and steel instru-
ments, they possess that peculiar quail
ity called temper. Irons that are heat
ed to high temperature, and then, as
soon as the worker is through with
them, but in a cool place to become
thoroughly cold, will last for many
years. Irons grow more valuable with
time, if good care, in some other re-
spects, is taken Of them. For instance,
they should be kept in dry place,
where they are not subject to rust or
moisture. Flatirons that have lost
their temper and become rusted or
roughened should be disposed Of, and
not left to take up valuable space on
kitchen shelves. New irons cost lit
tie, and it is poor economy to use old
ones that are past their usefulness.

AMERICANS AIDED
MATOS REVOLUTION
Much Excitement In Venezuela
Over Alleged Charge.
FINANCES GIVEN REBEL LEADER.
President Castro Declares He Has
Proof that an American Concern
Helped Matos Rebellion While a
Claim Was Being Contested.

New York, April 12.-Much excite
ment is said to exis t in Venezuela
over the alleged discovery that an
American asphalt company gave finan
cial aid to the Matos revolution, which
was put down about six months ago.
Pres. Castro is said to have declar
ed he has proof that agents of the com
pany in question aided Matos in his
revolution while the claim of the com
pany was being contested in the courts
of Venezuela.
He has declared that agents Of the
company offered about half a million
dollars to him to have the courts de.
clare in favor of the concession by
which the company gained the rights
in the asphalt beds and that when he
rejected the offer, the company,
through it's agents, used the money
in melting the revolution.
President Castro has caused suits
to be entered for the abrogation OF
the concessions granted the company.
Ii these suits should prevail, the re.
cent decision OF the supreme court OF
Venezuela in favor of the American
Asphalt combine would fall fiat.
The investigation asserted to have
brought out these disclosures has been
in progress some time and has not
yet been completed.

GENERAL JIMlNEZ ON REVOLT.
Former President of San Domingo

Former President of San Domingo
and Leader of Revolution Talks.
New York, April 12.-Juan J. Jim.
inez, former president of Santo Domin-
go, and leader of the present revolu.
ton in that republic, who has just
arrived here, declares that he proba.
bly, will return to his country in a
week or two and resume command OF
his forces in order to make the final
attempt to wrest the reins of govern
ment from President Morales.
General Jiminez explains that he
merely came north to procure a little
rest. One of the most interesting
incidents of his arrival at the hotel
frequented by visitors from the West
Indies was his meeting with a young
brother-in-law of President Morales,
Emilio Villalon, chancellor of the Do
minican consulate in New York For
an instant the veteran Of many revolu
tions gazed upon the boyish chancek
lor and then, shaking his hand, con.
graduated him on holding such re.
sponsible position.
General Jiminez, in conversation
with reporters, declared he did not
come here to buy munitions of war,
but merely to rest.
rs your revolution ended?" he was
asked.
"No-never! l am going back to
Santo Domingo in about two weeks,
although l may change my mind and
run over to Europe for day or two
How about your army? How is it
getting along and where is it at the
present time"
That is a very difficult question to
answer 1 left Santo Domingo some
days ago, and l cannot know how the
army is getting on just now"
who is responsible for all this
trouble?"
Morales, of course; for certainly
am not. Always l have been on the
side of right and concord, and 1 assure
you that l am ambitious, most ambi.
tious, for the prosperity of my coun.
try. l am against beastly passion,
and always have stood UP for what
may be termed the noble patriotic sen.
timent and am opposed to the crazy
and morbid ambition for office. But
to prove my good intentions, a short
time ago l addressed letter to Mo.
rales asking him to abandon the pres.
idency and appoint sort of junta con.
sisting of two impartial men to admin.
lister the affairs of state pending a set
tlement Of our difficulties at the ballot
box. l also suggested that all persons
in prison for political causes be lib
Grated and that he agree in guarantee
ing, that every official of the govern.
ment would refrain from interfering
with the election by money" Senior
Villalon later deprecated the efforts
of General Jiminez's army and char
acterized it as a gang Of bandits.

The Silk Spinning Oyster.

A mollusk that might take an impor-
tant place in textile industries if it ex-
listed in sufficient numbers is found in
warm seas, especially on the coast Of
Sicily. 1t is the pima, genus Of wing
shelled bivalves, of which one species
attains a length of two feet. To attach
itself to the rocks it spins cable of
strong filaments, called collectively the
byssus. These threads are wonderfully
strong, sill<en in texture and have been
woven into various delicate fabrics. A.
pair of gloves from this material may
be seen in the British museum, and
fine mummy cloths made from it by the
ancients are still preserved.
