How to Make a Blackberry Cordial,
Elderberry Wine III a Wine
from Blacl. berries.

Blackberry Cordial.-To one quart
juice add one pound granulated sugar.
and one tablespoon each of cloves, Gin
namon, nutmeg and allspice. Boil
gently for 20 minutes and when near
ly cooled, add one-half quart OF the
best quality of rum. Bottle while
warm and cork tightly. Seal If not
intended for immediate use. A table
spoon four times u day is the usual
dose, though in severe cases 1t may be
increased to small wineglass. Ex-
cellent for summer complaints.
Elderberry Wine.-To one quart
juice add three pounds granulated
sugar, dissolved In two quarts hot wa
ter. Set aside in a stone crock for
about six weeks. When bubbles cease
to rise on top of the liquid, 1t Is ready
to bottle. 1t can be used at once, but
the older 1t is, the better. The same
process can be used for currant wine.
and a very nice wine can be made
from huckleberries.
Blackberry Wine.-Measure your
berries and mash them. To each gall
lon berries add one quart boiling wa
ter. Let stand "a hours, stirring occa-
sionally. Then strain and to each gal
Ion add two pounds graduated sugar
Bottle, cork tightly and let stand four
months. This is another way: Mash
the berries, add one quart boiling wa
ter to each gallon berries and let stand
for "a hours, stirring occasionally.
Strain into a key, adding two pounds
best granulated sugar, and one-halt
pint pure, refined alcohol to each gal
lon. Cork tightly and let stand four
months, when it will be ready for use.
1t is fine wine to use in cases of sick
ness. One pint Of best rye whisky may
be used instead Of alcohol, If desired

RETAIN PRIMEVAL IDEAS.
Indians Are Not Free with Informa
ton to Agents Of the Gov
eminent.

Alexander Posey, the Creek clerk In
the Dawes commission, who works for
the government among the full-bloods
runs across some interesting characters
among the Indians some Of whom live
far from towns, speak their own Ian
guage, seldom get out OF their own
neighborhood and still have faith IN
the treaties of the government with the
Indians.
One Of these is Artus Hotiya, who
cannot speak English. The other day
Mr.. Posey went to Hotiya's place to
get information concerning a chlld
of Hotiya who had died. In reply to
questions Hotiya answered:
"You crossed the Wewoka creek this
morning? 1t is spring and the water
runs; you see the green grass on the
prairies; the grass still grows. Our
neople have agreed that so long as water
runs and grass grows, we shall not nave
orr lands divided nor our governments
supplanted. | am not yet ready to give
information.
This speech was made in Creek and
represents the dignity and faith OF the
old class of Indians who still resent the
government allotment Of lands. When
it was explained to him that all the in
formation wanted was such as would
make possible an allotment for his
child. he replied:
"God has given her an allotment in
the graveyard She is dead. The al
lotment there is all that she is entitled
TO. A grave is all the allotment that
am entitled to and all that God intended
that I should have. 1t is enough. The

Submerged Roman Cities.


Late explorations of the Italian
coast near Pompeii have changed the
opinion of antiquarians. says the New
York Tribune. The submerged Roman
ruins along the coast used to be re-
garded as foundation walls thrown out
for sea baths, but 1t was made clear
that they are the remains OF noble
mansions, and that they point to the
time when the land on which they
stood was far above the level OF the
sea. The shore is, in fact strewn with
the wreck of buried cities. Coast
roads have vanished. ancient quarries
have been flooded and the breakwa-
ters of the harbors Of classical story
covered fathoms deep with water. A
great submarine sea wall, with con-
crete piers II feet high, still protects
the fragments. But neither the frag-
ments nor the great sea wall have been
visible In the light OF day for 1000
years.

INTERESTING CASES ON THE
CALENDAR OF JUDGE MATHEW

Deputy Attorney General Prosser
left today for Kohala, to represent the
government at the coming term of
Judge Mathewman's court. The most
important cases are the riot cases
growing out of the dispute over the
ownership of the Kona schoolhouse.
The school was taken possession of by
those who claimed it and when the au-
thorities tried to get it back rifles were
used to protect it. Prosser went to
Kohala and got possession and later
the Grand Jury returned over a dozen
indictments against those who seized
the building, for rioc and assault and
battery.
Jacob Coerper, H. T. Mills, the at
torney who has just been disbarred,
and a number of other prominent citi-
zens of the district are among those
indicted. There are also a number of
women. There is great interest in the
trials, and it is expected that there
will be lively times when the cases are
heard.

where visitors used to stop sheltered

Stromboli and Vesuvius have been
