Value of Suevved Fruit.

Stewed fruit of any description is far
more beneficial than the majority Of
fresh ones, and the despised prunes
will agree with the woman who has
dyspepsia, as well as the. one with
strong, healthy stomach. They may be
eaten, too, as a rule, either before a
meal or as dessert with equally good
results for the complexion and health.
Stewed apples, pears or any of the
smaller fruits are also benefit, If not
too sweet. Taking figs in such quaint
ties, especially before retiring, does not
agree with the average person, as the
habit is supposed to, for the concen-
trated sweetness Is really bad, If the
stomach Is sour or there is surplus
Of acid In the blood. Then, too, the tiny
seeds in them are difficult for any but
strong stomachs to really digest and
assimilate.

TORCH HIS RAZOR.

New AamDshire lfan Sinees BEARD
ON Without Burning HIMSELF.
Every man ID his own barber In
Mount vernon.N. H.. al Tar as shaving
In concerned, for there are no tonsorial
parlors, says the Boston Herald. In
many other New Hampshire towns men
are frequently accommodated by the
village postmaster, storekeeper, lock-
smith or carpenter, who owns a razor
or two and is barber when occasion
requires. When Mount Vernon men
want a haircut they go to Milford or
some other large town.
There is one native of the place. a
man of Sc years, who has neither a
beard nor heavy growth Of hair, who
does not leave town or enlist the aid of
a neighbor In "chopping off" his locks.
He Is his own barber and probably one
of the best known characters in Mount
Vernon-Jaryis Smith, or "Jarve" as
he is called. "Jarve" has a unioue
method of removing his superfuous
hair, and while 1t Is possibly original
with himself, it is not secret. He has
no patent upon it, and rather prefers
others to follow his example If they.
wish to practice economy. The process
can be done anywhere, In the parlor, on
the street, in the field or on the wood
lot, and "Jarve" does it when he finds
1t necessary, regardless of where he
happens to be.
Smiths method is by singeing. After
dipping piece of wood into kerosene
oil and igniting it he starts to work.
With the burning torch In one hand and
using the other for a fire extinguish-
err" he singes one side of his face, then
the other, the upper lip and chin, and
in that way rids himself of all the hair
on his face, and while he crops it down
about as close as the average man does
with razor he very rarely burns him
self. The same sort of torch is used
to remove his superfuous hair.
Burn yourself?" said Smith. mo.
II man knows how to take his whis-
kers and hair off in this way he needn't
be afraid of scorching his face or head.
I conceiyed the idea some years ago
and I would not take chances with a
sharp razor. Life Is too precious and
am not ready to die yet"

short Suggestions.

To remove the smell of onions or fish
from the frying pan put little viegar
In it directly after using and put over
the fire a few minutes. Then wash
again In soapy water.
Select dozen or so of the smoothest
and largest splints from the new broom
and lay them away to use in testing
cake when it is baking.
A varnish for glass is made by dis
solving pulverized gum tragacanth in
the whites of eggs we'll beaten. Apply
with a brush very carefully.
For washing bottles or vinegar cruets
save eggshells in paper bag; crush
them fine, put in the cruets with warm,
soapy water and shake well. This will
clean and not scratch the finest glass.
Tea stains Of long standing should be
soaekd in glycerln and then washed In
cold water.
Cruel, when properly prepared,
should be but little thicker than cream,
and should be absolutely free from
Jumps.
When making ice cream pack news
papers tightly around the top of the
freezer to prevent the ice melting too
rapidly.
Take time to put the backing pot out
sf the way in its accustomed place, for
thereby will a probable shutting be
avoided.

THE HARVEST MOON.

Its Brightness Enables Farmers to
Gather Their Crops During Night.
September Is 1.-The month of moon
light" Poets and impressionists at that
season of the year, have, from time i'm
memorial, flooded the world with har-
vestmoon imagery. Pictures Of moon
lig1t lovers strolling along moonlit
lanes, rowing on moonlit rivers, in
moonlit boats, moonlight cleaners and
the harvest home have been painted
over and over again In word and color.
but the why and wherefore of the extra
ordinary brilliance of the Queen of the
Night during the period that she Is
known as the harvest moon" has been
completely lost sight Of by the great
majority.
Those who observe the ordinary as
Economical phenomena of daily occur
renee are familiar with the time varia-
tons In the moons rising and settling.
This Is due to the direction Of the
moons apparent path with reference to
the horizon, Of whatever place 1t is
viewed from. Its distance from the
earth and its daily motion eastward In
right ascension.
For the first few days in every lunar
month the moon rises or sets twenty.
three or twenty-four minutes later for
three or four successive evenings, after
which the retardation varies from that
time to an hour and seventeen minutes,
and sometimes more
In the latitude of New York the max
imum retardation Is seventy-seven min
utes and the minimum Is twenty three
When the retardation is a minimum
at the time Of the full moon, the light
Is very powerful, and farmers have
often taken advantage of the practical
~ all-night brilliancy for several days,
to harvest their grain. September p
being the autumnal equinox and the
full moon occurring nearest that date
being usually in the height Of harvest
time, 1t is called the harvest-moon.
To understand the action of the
causes which produce this phenomenon
1t Is necessary to remember that at the
time Of the autumnal equinox the sun
sets exactly in the west, and the south
ern half Of the ecliptic, or the suns
apparent annual path in the sky, will
then be wholly above the horizon and
the northern half entirely below; the
elliptic, therefore, making the least pos
sible angle with the horizon.
In high northern latitude, as In Alas
IA, British Columbia, Norway and
Sweden, and the north of Scotland, the
moons path at such times Is almost
than a week she rises at very nearly
The same time, giving the farmers am
pie light and time to garner their crops

Plum Pic.

This fruit must be cooked before II
Is put into the pie. Take about two
cupfuls Of plums! and sweeten with one
heaping cupful to cover them, simmer
on the fire until tender. Line the plate
with crust and put in the fruit with
a little Of the Juice. Sift flour over the
top and on the edges of the paste
which should have been wet with q
little water, and put on the upper crust
pinching together the edges; bake in 9
quick oven about twenty minutes.

Worth Knowing.

That AIlcock's Plasters are the highest
result of medical science and skill, and
in ingredients and method have never
been eQualed.
That they are the original and genuine
porous plasters upon whose reputation
imitators trade.
That they never fail to perform their
remedial work quickly and effectively.
That for Weak Back, Rheumatism,
Colds, Lung Trouble, Strains and all
Local Pains they are invaluable.
That when you buy Allcock's Plasters
you obtain the best plasters made.

How to Cure q Cold.

If you come home at night chilled
and feel that you have taken cold, get
into bed and then drink a cup of hot
water, not warm water, in which you
have placed the juice of a lemon and

with three or four Jumps Of sugar. This
will generally cure cold at the be-

This active age disregards old rules
bearing on the amount Of work which
normal man can accomplish. The ex-
cuse Is that moderns are wiser than the
aneients, that they know that rest Is
not cessation but change of occupation.
In two distinct quarters q voice of pro-
test has been raised against this new
definition Of rest Drs. Acland and
Lewis have presented to the British az
ISOLATION the results Of a study IN the
nature Of fatigue, and Prof. Fere, an
alienist Of Paris, publishes nearly the
same view. These physicians, two En-
glish and one French, agree that ia
tigue is the result of a toxic or poison
only way in which Its further >accumu-
lation can be STOPPED Is By sleep The
phenomenon of increased activity as
result of stimulants Is followed by
worse condition than before. Physical
exercise is not substitute for sleep.
The improved condition Of the body
due to exercise may make the brain
better able to resist fatigue, but it does
not take the place of necessary rest.
In cases where the patient finds relief
In q new line Of activity the reason Is
that the limit Of endurance has not

IRONING BOARD.

table, one end being hinged to the edge.
One leaf Of the table is also hinged
