Strange Cargo From the Amazon.

One of the strangest cargoes a ves-

the London docks toward the close OF
March, says the Scientific American. 1t
consisted OF several sacks filled with
dried flies. consigned to large firm of
grain merchant.
These flies, originating In Brazil. have
been purchased for use in the manufac-
ture OF food for chickens, cage birds
and the like They were caught on the
river Amazon by Brazilians, who travel
up the river in fat-bottomed boats and
who are provided with gauze nets, with
which they capture these insects in
millions, as flies hover in dense clouds
over many of the swampy reaches of
the Amazon.
The flies thus caught are killed.
dried In the sun, and then placed in
sacks. Upon arrival in London they
are mixed with millet and other grain
and are sold as chicken food, etc. Some
time ago the Brazilian government,
fearing that the fish in the Amazon
river would be starved. forbade the ex-
portation of flies; hence the price of
this strange commodity. which used to
be Cd per pound, has now risen to Is
Cd per pound, and often little more.

CLEVER DOCTOR.

medicines and all the simple remedies

worse all the time.
Finally a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part of
the state told me medicine would do
me no good, only irritating my stom-
ach and making it worse-that / must
look to diet and quit drinking coffee.
81 cried out in alarm. Quit drink

HINTS TO HousEKEEPERs.

Instead of cleaning the windows
with soap and water try rubbing them
with cloth dipped in mixture OF
ammonia and whiting and then pol
ish with clean chamois. This makes
them much brighter than II soap and
water are used.
An unusually thrifty mother sug-
gests that when holes in the heels or
toes of the children's stockings are too
big to darn, Il good plan is to cut out
the worn parts entirely, then with a
crochet needle and some SaXony wool
or darning cotton to go round and
round the hole. gradually diminishing
the number of stitches until the hole
is completely filed up. This. no doubt,
takes less than il an attempt were
made to darn the hole, to say nothing
of its being more lasting.
When using stale bread for puddings
always soak 1t in cold liquid. Bread
that has been soaked in cold milk or
water is light and crumbly, whereas
that soaked in hot liquids is heavy.
1t always seems pity to have to
string pictures up on wires or cords.
The question is whether 1t is not more
of pity than to drive small nails into
the wall paper. The latter procedure
defaces the walls, to be sure. but SO do
the picture wires deface the walls.
Small pictures can be hung on very
slender nails, which, when Withdrawn,
leave scarcely visible hole. If wires
must be used. let them be as fine rs
possible. and the pictures should be
so hung as to rest perfectly fiat against
the wall. Anything more hideous than
a picture tilted at an angle of 40 de-
grees is unimaginable.
Remove the scratches from vanished
furniture by going over them carefully
with camel's hair brush that has
been dipped in shellac varnish until
they disappear. Nothing should touch
the places until they are quite dry.
Have your refrigerator sweet and
clean and ready for use by burning in
1t a small disinfecting sulphur candle;
then leave the doors wide open, al
lowing it to air thoroughly.
If mothers, when buying new shoes
for the children, would adopt the fol-
lowing hint they would find that they
would last twice as long and also resist
the damp. Procure some boiled lin
seed oil. pour 1t into a large fiat dish
or tin and allow the shoes to stand in
it for about IL hours, or until the soles
are well soaked. This does not, how
ever, apply 20 brown shoes.
For a dangerous wound made h.; a
rusty nail or a Jagged knife, the best

oMELET AND oARNIsH.
Successful omelet Must Be Cooked in
Smooth Pan-Smau One Best
Eggs Not Beaten Too Much.

Omelets are helpful In solving the
problem of getting sufficient num-
Der of dishes for the light breakfast,
as there Is almost an unlimited varie-
ty. To be successful the pan should
be clean and smooth. they must be
eaten Immediately, the omelet must
be small. four eggs being better than
six, and the eggs must not be beaten
too much.
Plain Omelet.-Beat the yolks OF
four eggs, add four tablespoonfuls OF
water, first mixing one-half teaspoon
full of flour in tablespoonful Of the
water; put in one-half teaspoonful of
salt and dash of pepper, then gen.
tly fold in the beaten whites. Drop
one-half tablespoonful of butter into
hot frying pan, tipping the pan SO
that the sides and bottom will be
thoroughly covered. Turn in the ONE
let quickly, and when the center
looks dry run a knife around the edge,
then under the half nearest the han
die and fold over Slide carefully on
to warm platter and garnish with
parsley. Serve Immediately.
Ham Omelet.-.To the yolks of four
small teacupful of finely chopped
ham. and a few sprigs of parsley. and
beat vigorously Beat whites stiff and
gently stir them into the mixture.
Have tablespoonful of butter treat
ed in spider, pour in the omelet,
and stir with a fork till 1t becomes
quite thick. Cook five minutes over
brisk fire, fold, and serve garnished,
with parsley.
The Esthetic Side. - Garnishing
should never interfere with carving
or serving. and should at least have
an appearance of being simple II not
SO in fact
Parsley and watercress are the most
practical garnislles. for they look well
with almost any dish. If parsley is
not obtainable fine celery tips may be
used
Fried Parsley-Use fresh, curled.
dry parsley; have a dish of fat hot
enough to brown a piece of bread in
n minute. Put the parsley into
frying basket. then drop the basket
into hot fat; let 1t remain half min
ute. then lay on coarse brown paper
till wanted for garnishing.
Eggs are used either hard boiled
and Sliced or the hard boiled yolks
may be grated and snrinkled over or
around a dish: the grated yollis are
effective on spinach.
Lemons are used more for fish than
meats. such as fried oysters and lob
ster outlets. They are cut in quar-
ters and portion served on the plate
of each person.
Paper frills for decorating broiled
chops are made by folding and firing
ing thin letter paper. then wrapping
around the end of the chop to keep
the grease from coming through.
Boiled carrots and beets. sliced with
vegetable cutters into fancy shapes,
are nice for cold meats. and have
pretty effect around white entree.

Principal Appropriations.

ington.-Chairman Tawney oil
the House appropriations committee
made the following statement as TO
the appropriations for the fiscal year
1907:
THE total appropriations made at
this session of Congress, including
those carried in the regular appropri-
alton acts, all deficiencies. miscella-
neous matters and permanent annual
appropriations, aggregate sSSO,lS3,-
301.
This is an apparent increase OF
SGO,00o.000 over the appropriations
made at the last session of Congress.
This is more than accounted for
in the three following items:
For the Isthmian canal, s4e,i47,-
600; under the statehood bill, Slo,-
100000: toward the construction OF
new buildings authorized at this ses-
sion. slO.32l 900. making a total OF
sea, 3,O1S.OOO. to which might be added
properly s5,O00.0O0 for San Francisco.
"Other notable increases are 3d.
OOO. 900 for inspection OF meat pro-
ducts and $10.G00,O00 on account OF
the postal service.
"The total apparent appropriations
made at this session, $3.50. 1S3,3O1, do
not constitute in their entirety
charge against the revenues of the
government for the next fiscal year,
for the reason that there must be de-
Quoted deficiencies that are charge
able TO the service of the current
year and to meet expenditures al
ready incurred on account thereof, ap-
proximating at least $35,O00.0O0. This
sum includes $1G,000,000 for the 18th
mian canal.
"There should be deducted also $751;
O0O. 900 for the sinking fund. which
may or may not be met in whole or
in part, as IL is purely matter OF
discretion with the secretary of the
treasury to utilize the surplus for
that purpose.
There should also be deducted
$22, 900 600, which is estimated and
included in the whole sum of appro-
priations to be paid out of deposits
of national banks in redemption OF
circulating notes of banks. The de-
posits are not credited as part OF
the revenues of the government. and
therefore redemptions made from the
fund thus arising should not be
charged to expenditures.
THE $25 5,45G,4i5 appropriated for
work on the Isthmian canal is pay
able from or reimbursable to the
treasury out of fonds that are au-
thorized to be sold for that purpose
and should also be deducted from the
appropriations for 1907.
THE sums mentioned amount to
more than 100000, and when de-
Quoted leave apparent appropriations
of only $741 100000 TO be met out of
the revenues of the next fiscal year.
I'm my Judgment the ordinary reve-
nues of the next fiscal year Will
amount TO at least s600,0OO.0OO. The
postal revenues are estimated at
slS1. $4,000 for 1907. making the total
apparent resources of the government
for next wear not less than S7S1,573,-
0O0, or at least s4o0Oo.OO0 in excess
of appropriations that may be
charged against them"

"Dry Farming"

Successful cultivation of arid land
without irrigation. it seems like an i'm
possibility, does 1t not? Reclamation
of 500,000,000 acres OF land, at present
unproductive and comparatively worth
less not through irrigation but through
education, this too seems like Chi
mera. But successful dry farming. sci
entific soil culture by what is known
as the Campbell system, according to
John L. Cowan, easily makes possible
results that at first seem incredible.
Mr.. Cowan's discussion, in much in

CONGRESS ADJOURNS after DOING
MUCH VERY IMPORTANT WORK

constructive craftsmanship than has

which he is familiar, He says that

right to feel "a profound satisfaction

The text of the Presidents state
ment follows:
"In the session that has just closed
the Congress has done more substan.
tial work for good than any Congress
at any session since l became familiar
with public affairs. The legislation
has been along the line of real con-
structive craftsmanship of the most

ter bill has been enacted which has
been of an importance SO great that it
is fair to say that the enactment OF
any one of them would have made the
session memorable; such, for instance,
as the railroad rate bill, the meat in
spection measure, the pure food bill,
the bill for free alcohol in the arts,
the consular reform bill. the Panama
canal legislation. the joint statehood
bill and the naturalization bill.
