Parents Return from Town to Find
Charred Remains of Boy in Ruins.
Perceiving smoke arising from their
farm house near Mansion, where early in
the day they had left their 4-year-old
son locked in while they went to town
to make some purchases, James Matthew
son and his wife goaded the team of
horses in which they were driving to their
utmost speed, racing with death that they
might save their baby boy. Just as the
team entered the farm yard and the faith
er sprang to the ground and rushed for
the house. the roof fell in. The charred
body of the boy was found later.

Milk Strained Through Sand.

In several European cities milk Is
filtered through sand. BY this process
all dirt is removed, the number of bac-
teria is reduced one-third, and the
quantity of mucus and Shiny matter
is greatly lessened, while The loss Of
fat In new milk is only slight.
The filter consists of large cylindri-
cal vessels, divided by horizontal per-
forated diaphragms into five super
posed compartments, of which the mid
die three are filed with fine, clean
sand sifted into three sizes, the coars-
est being placed in the lowest and the
finest in the topmost of the three COM
partments.
The milk enters the lowest compart-
ments through pipe under gravitation
pressure, and, after having traversed
the layers Of sand from below upward,
is carried by an overflow to cooler
fed with ice-water, whence it passes
into a cistern, from which it is drawn
direct into locked cans for distribution.

A fowls diet should include varie-

Many farmers do not know the val

MARMALADE MADE AT HOME.
housekeeper Gets Excellent Sweet at
a Small Cost.

The housekeeper who practices
economy from necessity and whose
family is fond of Orange marmalade
rs well as of the fresh fruit, has solv-
ed the problem OF maaing excellent
marmalade at a little less than half
the cost of the same bought ready
made. She saves the peel from the
oranges eaten by the family, in an
air-tight box, until she has enough
to make, when cut In very fine strips,
with I'll the inner pith removed with
a sharp knife, e pint or a little over.
The oranges are to be peeled dry, that
Is, all the peelipg removed before the
inner skin is broken, and these dry
skins will keep in a cool place two
weeks without molding. When she
has enough, six large navel oranges
and three good lemons are purchased.
with a sharp penknife the pulp of the
fruit is removed without any of the
1ne inner skin which divides 1t into
sections. There viii, be some juice
left in the fruit, but this is carefully
squeezed out and added to the pulp.
From the lemon pulp every seed is
taken out and then orange and lemon
pulp is placed in a deep dish and COW
cred with three pounds of granulated
sugar. The peel of the oranges and
lemons is now cut into sections, care
fully trimmed of all inner pith, and
cut in very thin slices or straws.
These are added to the pint OF prev1-
ously prepared slices of orange peel,
and the whole placed in a saucepan
with sufficient water to just cover
them. Then they are boiled gently
till the skins are perfectly cooked n
so tender that a small straw Will
pierce then easily. 1t may be neces-
to add a little more water from time
water on the peeis when they are
cooked enough to barely them.
To this is added the orange and lemon
pulp and sugar and the whole Is boil
ed till a little poured on a cold plate
will set. The marmalade must be
cooked slowly, and great care must
be taken to prevent its setting on the
bottom of the saucepan. This quaint
ty will fill six ordinary jelly glasses
or a little more, and its cost is not
more than ~ cents, an average OF
seven cents a glass. This is quite as
good as the marmalade bought n the
stores and very much cheaper, with
the added advantage of knowing ex.
actly what is in it.

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.

OF the co. 900, 900 people inhabiting

half per cent. of the population can

the remaining 62h per cent. are alb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bun
die of letters to a house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Tor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient of The letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is a joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
tended for him or not.

How to Build a Collar Box.

The fashion of wearing the turn
down embroidered linen collar has
created a demand for a proper recep.
tacle for them, and this comes in the
form of book covers about 10 inches
long and six inches wide. These are
covered on the outside with cretonne
or silk and on the inside with a sheet
of perfumed cotton yer which Is
white linen. Straps of cotton are
sewed across the covers about three
inches from either end, and through
these the ends of the collars are slip
ped. This keeps them perfectly fat
and in a much more convenient form
than a collar box. The covers fold to-
gether and tie with ribbon, giving a
perfectly fat case that may be easily
hacked.
