CHIRSCHMUS.
A Swiss Dainty That Is Made of Pre-
served Cherries.

served Cherries.
Last summer 1 ate genuine Swiss
chirschmus twenty years old. 1t tasted
like concentration Of all the richness
and sweetness of the most perfect
cherries In appearance it was a pur-
plish black mass. Age had not impair
ed it in the least.
Upon inquiry 1 learned how this
cherry concoction, with its wonderful
preserving quality, is made The cher
ries used must be perfect-very large,
ripe, juicy black ones and, above all,
very sweet.
The juice of them pressed out and
strained through a bag is put in a
large preserving kettle, at the bottom
Of which is placed a piece of smoked
pork fastened to block of wood. The
wood serves as a weight to keep the
fat down and prevent the juice from
burning as it thickens.
The cherry juice is boiled for about
twenty-four hours without sugar, but
stirred from time to time until 1t
becomes a mass of sweetness so firm
and thick that it would not fall If the
kettle were inverted.
That is all, simple process, but the
result is delicious. This chirschmus is
in general use in Switzerland with the
''susse ankle" (sweet butter) and bread.

Some people let themselves set into the
condition of that stagnant pool and
then wonder why the frogs croak in
their brains and why the birds do not
sing instead. When person gets into

Of the most gentlemanly of beasts. A
story from Ootacamund shows what
fine manners the animal has. Three

found a cheetah sitting licking the
heavy wet off his waistcoat and his
paws. 1t was his cave, but rather than
deprive his visitors of their shelter the
polite creature had sat outside in the
driving tempest. With friendly new
and gracefully wagging his tail, the
cheetah bade adieu to his guests and
walked with dignity into his house.

Gold bars lose less. In fine weather
they will only lose about $100 to each
million. In the uglieSt weather they
don't lose over $50, whereas in like
conditions gold coins have been known
to lose $500. AS gold shipments of $1O,-
0C0,O00 often occur, to make these ship

jackson In Triumph.

After the battle of New Orleans, says
Thomas E. Watson in his magazine,
when the victor had been crowned with
laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed
like a demigod through the streets, it
was of his mother that he spoke to the
officers whom he was about to disband
their glorious work being done.
Gentlemen, If only she could have
lived to see this day" AS you follow
the narrative of Andrew Jackson's ca
reer, you will hear him say many
things that you will not approve, will
see him do many things which you
cannot applaud, but when you re-
call that at the very top notch of his
success and his pride his heart stayed
In the right place and was sore because
his mother could not be there to glad
den her old eyes with the glory Of her
son you will forgive him much in his
life that was harsh and cruel and ut
terly wrong

MAKING WAMPUM.
A Process That Requires Both Pa
thence and Skill.

A Process That Requires Both Pa
thence and Skill.
With certain tribes wampum is still
highly priznd and necklaces are worn
by men, women and children when
they are the fortunate poSsessors of
them. To make wampum various kinds
of shells are used, white and those
having q lavender hue being most
liked.
The thin shells are broken into little
pieces and by aid of nippers are made
as nearly round as possible When
each piece is drilled in the center, the
old time fire kindling style of drill be-
ing used, the shells are then strung and
rolled with the hand on a fiat stone,
which grinds them until they are
smooth and even.
Comparatively few Indians among
those who prize wampum beads most
highly have the skill or patience to
make them, even though they had the
materials. The fact is there are but
few wampum bead makers in the coun-
try, and il often happens that long pill
grlmageS must be made to secure the
requisites for really fine beads, and, as
with the white mans trinkets, that
which is "far fetched and dear bought"
is most sought after for ornamentation.
Around some of the ancient ruins in
tue southwest the little disks of wam-
pun are often found in the sand, and it
is probable that they were deposited
in the graves in very early times and
washed out or exposed by the winds

state of preservation Of any in the
country. Absolutely nothing is known
Of their builders, and the origin of
these ruins was as much mystery
when Coronado first saw them in 1910,
when he made his famous invasion, as
it is to the people of the present day.

Cruel. hrt Necessarx

The Esiiimos dread the winter and
take early precautions to provide
against famine. AS the season ap-
proaches the great herds of reindeer
migrate southward, and the walrus or
the seal are all that remain. for food.
When an in wind is blowing the wal
rus is easily found Oh the outer edge
of the Ice packs. When it Is blowing
off the shore, however the ice packs
sail out to sea with the walruses on
them. The natives then class their
numbers in list from the strongest to
the weakest. The food that is in store
is divided up, the weakest having the
smallest quantity. the strongest the
largest. Thus the mightiest hunters
have strength to provide for the 9th
ers. 1t is cruel system, but neverthe-
less a necessary one. If all were weak,
all would die; if some are strong, they
will save many Of the weak

The Oldest Bank Notes.

The oldest bank notes in the world
are the flying money" or convenient
money, first issued in China in 2691
B. G. One writer tells that the ancient
Chinese bank notes were in many re-
spects similar to those of the present
day, bearing the name Of the bank,
the date Of issue, the number Of the
note, the signature Of the official who
issued it and its value in both figures
and words. On the top Of these curl
Gus notes was the following philosoph-
ic Injunction: Produce all you can;
spend with economy" The note was
printed in blue ink on paper made
from the fiber of the mulberry tree.
One of these notes bearing the date
1899 B. G. is still preserved in the Asl-
attic museum at ST. Petersburg.

WAGER OF BATTLE.
3he First Duels Are Said to Have
Been Fought In Italy.

Been Fought In Italy.
The first duels were fought in Italy,
according to Millingen, who speaks Of
a manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes duel between father and
a son in the reign of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the fiercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicls, a knight, defeated
in single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Otho
IL. granted the prayer of the nobility
for the establishment of wager of
battle in 9SS. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it. The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them a woman had to accept, nor could
she name champion. Her male op-
ponent, however. was buried to his
waist In the earth. Armed with
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball of iron at the end of cord. If he
tempt he was vanquished, which
meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so
many duels were fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity of Italian duels
passes belief. ANY way Of putting an
enemy to death cogni modoD is good
enough" says one of their writers.
when an Italian spares his vanquish-
ed adversary" says Brantome, "he
mains his arms and legs and gives
him as a memento of his kindness and
generosity a hideous cash across the
face" Lampagnano practiced on
painted model Of GaleaZzo Sforza be-
fore he stabbed him. Dueling was
called "la scienza cavalleresca."- Corn

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.

Advice For Those With Rheumatism,
GOut, Eczema and Neuralgia,
If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, gout, eczema and
neuralgia in the world. The most fire.
quent cause Of these arrangements is
an excess of nutritive materials. The
blood is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purgatives,
diuretics and solvents of various
kinds. The rational way, however, to
cure such affections is to stop the
cause. Drink more water; eat less
meat and concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply Of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require q great
er amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritive materials In
muscular exercise, but the amount of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oxidizes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
ly to crystalline, especially in those
portions of the body where the circula-
ton is the least and the temperature
Is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This is a prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the drugs
in the world. Shut off the source of
urate poisoning and the effects Of
urate poisoning will disappear.-Ex-
change.

STOPPED TIE OVATION.

Richard E.Fcgncr's Peculiar EzpeRi-
elzce Ia VicHAa.
When Wagner was at the height of
on Won Beust, then chancellor Of the
empire, was Informed that the Prus-
sian party intended TO give him an i'm
mease sereaaje-a serenade which
would have the air Of German protest
against the tendency OF the miAistry to
make the union OF Hungary and Aus
tria more intimate. The demonstration
promised to arouse strong feeling.
Your eXce.lency is warned" said
the ch1nceilor's advisers. ut is impos-
sible to stop this manifestation unless
Wagner goes away, and he loves .ova-
tions too well. Nothing will induce him
to depart"
you think So" said Beust, with
smile.
An hour later Wagner was invited to
dine with the chancellor He was fat
tered by the invitation and accepted it.
After dinner, at which Beust was de-
lightfully affable and entertaining, the
chancellor remarked: Herr Wagner,
are you interested in autographs? l
have some very curious ones to show
you" And he opened a portfolio where
were letters of Palmerston, Bismarck,
Napoleon Ill, Heine and others.
Suddenly turning to a paper, dated
1913, he said: "Ah, look at this. 1t is
very curious. What would your friend
his highness the king of Bavaria say If
this paper, which would be significant
in connection with the political sere-
made which the Germans are going to
give you, should be published tomor-
row in the Vienna papersT'
The composer examined the paper
and recognized, with surprise, an old
proclamation of one Richard Wagner,
who, an ardent revolutionist in 1S4S,
had proposed to the youth of that time
to set fire to the palace of the king of
SaXony. He saw his autograph and
that it might be the means of getting
him into serious trouble.
Every curious, is it not, Herr Wag-
ner? said the minister.
VERY curious, your excellency," re-
piled his guest.
The next morning Richard Wagner
left Vienna, recalled to Baireuth by
urgent business-Strand Magazine.

The Largest Pine.

What is described as the largest pipe
in the world IS valued at $4,000 and is
counted as one of the most remarkable
pieces of carving in existence. The
pipe is made Of one solid piece Of
meerschaum and represents the land
ing Of Columbus. There are twenty
four figures in the scene, each one four
inches high. The carver who executed
this masterpiece is dead, and, as the
demand for this sort of work has near
ly died out, it is practically impossible
to find a man to duplicate it.-London

Feeding Silkworms.

The quality and quantity Of silk pro-
duced by your silkworms will all de-
pend on how you feed them. Too
much food should not be given at once,
but they should never be left entirely
without at any time during the day
or night. You must, therefore, watch
carefully to get an idea of their appe-
tite and provide accordingly, says
Home Chat. Fresh mulberry leaves
are the proper food for silkworms, but
young lettuce leaves are The best SUBJ
stitute, but they are only a stop gap.
Silkworms cannot live for a long pc
riod without their natural food.

England's Youngest Bride,

The youngest bride who was ever
led to the altar in England, so far as
we can discover, was little Catherine
Apsley, who had only seen four sum-
mers when she became the wife of the
first Earl Bathurst, who was exactly
double her age. The tiny ring worn
by Catherine on this occasion, over
two centuries ago, is still preserved.
Lord Bathurst survived to see the
eighty-third anniversary Of his we'd
ding day, while his lady was wife for
seventy-siX years.-London Chronicle.

How to Succeed In Literature.

The qualities which 1 consider most
conducive to success in literature are
Imagination, coupled with a great
knowledge Of the world, concentration,
the willingness and ability to work
hard, a considerable knowledge of
business and a firm determination to
ignore the instructions of literary and
other agents with regard to what the
reading public may be supposed to re-
quire. If any author once loses his in
dependence in writing he may be call
ed finished, so far as any career is in
question.-John Oliver Hobbies.
