Gooseberries lose none of their tart fla

this has been well tested and will prove
satisfactory. Cut off the tops and stems
and cook the berries in water until

put into cans with as little water as
possible, fill the can with boiling water

cidentaIly, he inherits his brothers beauti-
full house in Park lane, but 1t Is under
stood that he is going to sell 1t.
When he has dinner or supper party at
his house all the food is supplied by firm
of caterers from outside. Cooking on the
premises, he says destroys the atmosphere
of the place and encourages insects and
microbes of every description. He is on
terms Of personal intimacy with the king
and the Prince Of Wales. and his house
is one Of the few in London where his
majesty visits to have a hand at cards and
game of billiards. While Alfred Belt
was accommodating millions for himself and
his friends his brother Otto was cultivat-
ing the society of London's proudest arfs-
tocrats. One was the financier, the other
the sprightly Bohemian courtier, and in this
way the brothers succeeded In bringing to-
gether a variety of influential forces.
Perhaps there was no man among the
whole legion of English f1nanciers to whom
King Edward was indebted more for sound
Investments than to the late Alfred Belt.
Julius Wernher, was an indication of the
relations that existed between the royal
family and the late millionaire. Had Alfred
Belt lived few years longer he, too, would
have gone step toward the peerage. AS
matters stand at present Otto Belt may
live to enjoy the honor which his brother
lost. But even his most intimate friends
can't guess what he will do with all of the
vast wealth that luck has thrust upon him.
Upon whom is Alfred Belts mantle likely
to fall? AS the great banking house of
Wernher, Belt & Co. is now the leading
firm in Europe operating in Africa, 1t is
reasonably supposed that Sir Julius Wern-

quite as rapidly and quite unexpectedly
as he has now become multi-millionaire.
Although he has been now for number
of years personally acquainted with almost
every detail of his dead brothers financial
and industrial undertakings, he has taken
but little actual share in directing or con-
trolling them. His brother used him as a
sort of courier when important dispatches
relating to hurried finance had to be car
ried between London, Paris, Berlin and
South Africa. At the Offices of the great
firm of Wernher. Belt & Co. he was seldom
seen.
One of the heads of the departments, in
detailing his experience of the two broth
ers, said: THE governor, although a most
humane and considerate man. was excess
sively exacting in all matters relating to
business. We always expected a rough
time of it when we reached the office at

1t would ont be right to say that Otto

the foolish extravaganza Of the Johnnie,
but he likes the theater, the music hall and
the opera, both before and behind the
scenes. Indeed. it was once suggested that

considers 1t as being sufficiently impor-
tant to mention to her press agent. Being
a.woman past sixty, who retains all the
vitality of a girl of twenty-five her
methods of conserving her strength are
worth considering. She always takes two
hot baths day. and says they rest her
more than the nap, in which she does not
indulge except on very rare occasions.
If every saleswoman would just take
time enough for a quick warm bath be-
fore dinner she would find wonderful
relief from the oppressive fatigue from
manv hours standing; besides that, her
appetite would be stimulated, and even a
few minutes immersion in hot water
seems to rest the nerves more than any
thing else excepting sound sleep.
There has always been oonsiderabl
talk as to what is the most beneficial
time for bathing, whether at night or in
the morning. A hot bath is such stimu-

the youth who has just come into an unex-

shady financers, butterfly lordlings and
parasitical sports. Every person present

character and responsibility from Father
Bernard Vaughan, who has been thunder

Unlike his brother, Otto does not believe
in the early-to- observation-disclosures rule,
but as he does not saturate himself with
wine and keeps in form by means of plenty
of physical exercise, little sleep sat-
isfies him. A dip in the lake in Hyde Park

One Car It's Entire Boiling Stock

From the St. Paul Dispatch. >
Though entirely new in its pattern, the
Great Northern motor car that recently ar
rived in st. Paul from Aurora, ILL.,, is not
the first steam motor car that the city has
ever seen. The first locomotive that was
ever possessed by the old st. Paul and Sioux
City railroad, now part of the Chicago ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, was motor
car. the combination of a locomotive, bag
gage car and coach.
This car was, in fact, all the equipment
that the road had when in 1885 the roadway
was first completed between Mendoza and
Shakopee. The front end of the car rather
resembled an ordinary steam locomotive,
with it's pilot, boiler and smoke stack all
projecting out from the rest Of the car.

Alfred was man of method and deter
