Orange Rind as Malaria Cure.

The Tampa Times, in an editorial
on the commercial discovery of a
new kind If orange on account of the
medicinal value of the rind In mala.
rial diseases, makes a suggestion
This is remindful of the orange leaf
tea used by the housewives of Florida
in the earlier days as a corrective for
malaria There is no doubt of its ex.
celleEce as a tonic, and it is quite
possible that the rind of the sour
and wild oranges might be made use
full along the same line. Tea made
from the fresh leaves of lemon sprouts
is of most excellent effect as a tonic
and anti-periodic, and steps ought to
be taken to provide supplies of it for
the public" Those who have once ex.
perienced the benefit of this old time
household remedy are aware of its
value. 1t is a pity that its efficiency
should not be more widely known

To Preserve Snap Beans,

. While The Bulgarians have produced
no specially noted Gordon bleus, they
are q people of faculty" and know
how to make the most of their some
what meager food supplies. In the
cooking Of beans, fresh or dried, they
can even give points TO Bostonian.
They have a unique way Of putting
up snap beans for winters use, easy
and excellent as to results. The beans
are picked when just tender, "snappy"
age, are washed clean strung and
broken into inch pieces as though
ready for cooking. Now the housewife
threads coarse needle with strong
thread, and in a jiffy strings the pieces
Of broken beans on the thread. AS
soon as generous loop is made il is
hung in the sunshine to dry.
When perfectly dry it is laid away
from the dust until ready for use.
Then take as many as desired, soak
Ia lukewarm water several hours, and
cook the same as fresh beans.

Baths of Lemonade.

The very latest thing in Paris is the
lemonade bath. 1t is supposed to be
cooling, refreshing and beneficial.
A pretty Partisan actress has insti-
tuted the fashion of letting her friends
see her take lemonade plunge. In a
charming directoire bathing dress,
with her hair tied up in yellow rib
bons, she sat and received her guests
in a white tub draped with yellow and
filled with lemonade, with pieces of
lemon peel floaing about on the sur
face.
glass of iced lemonade was given
TO each guest, and for those who
would join in the novelty lemonade
baths were arranged and directoire
bathing dresses provided.
1t is scarcely likely that this form
OF the bath will ever become really
popular, but as an advertising scheme
for a young actress it is certainly far
better than lost jewels.-New York
Sun.

Accepted a Beating in order to IN
sure its Success.

John Opie, the English painter Is
described as man OF humble origih
who achieved success wholly by DIS
own genius and perseverance. Inc
story of his first effort in that line OF
art which crterward brought him fame
he related 10 Coke, first earl OF Leices'
ter of Holkham as follows
When a small boy of ten or twelve
he was left AT home one Sunday after'
noon with his father, while his mo'h'
er went to church The father estao'
lished himself in the parlor with his
Bible. and told the boy to be quiet
and amuse himself.
Young Opie, who had procured some
paints, took up a position unobserved
in the kitchen, directly opposite the
parlor door Very quietly he drew a
portrait of the old mar bending over
his Bible, until he had finished every
thing except the head. when he began
running backward and fol ward to
study his fathers face.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless Interrupt
tons and threatened TO punish his
son ii they continued.
This was exactly what the boy want
ed, as he wished to paint his fathers
eye lit up and sparkling with anger.
So he continued his irritating behav-
ior until It met with the desired re-
suit, and his father. justly wrathfu!,
administered a sound thrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly, and transferred TO his
picture the expression which he had
Just seen upon the face OF his indiS'
nant parent.
When his mother returned from
church, he placed the picture tri-
umphantly before her; but although
astonished and delighted with it, she
thought ii her duty to scold her son
severely for painting on a Sunday.
Young Opie, however, cared no more
for the scolding than for the beating
he had received in accomplishing his
work, and only Rugged his mother de-
lightedly in his excitement at its sue
cess.
His father, coming into the room at
this juncture, and spying the portrait
of himself, was so surprised and
pleased at it that he told the mother
not tC scold the boy any more.
Subsequently, whenever the picture
was shown, he used to tell with great
relish the story of young Opie's plucky
acceptance os beating in order TO in
sure its success.-Youths Companion.

Home of the Eez.

Fee, where Mulai Hahd is repcrte
to have been making hay of eleclr,
light fittings and everything else that
has the faint of Europe, has given rs
name to the. familiar Turkish equiya
lent of a hat. At one time all fezzcs
came from Fee. it being suppo.
that only there could the exact Grim
son dye required be obtained. 1t is
curious that the name of an agriculti
raj implement has thus been appropri
ated by headgear; for fez, or fas
means in Arabic a hoe. The favoritC
story is that ldrees H.. the founder o
the city, turned the first sod with one
remarking: Here plant my fas.
Another version is that an older cit,
called SAT Cnce stood there and Idrees
simply transposed its name.

Novels and the Digestion.

Should you read novels at meals or
should you talk? Which is the better
for digestion? There's common sub
iect for hot-weather discussion on
piazzas of summer hotels. One person
says: Don't read at meals, especially
an exciting novel, as it interferes in
directly with digestion Ones mind is
fixed intently on the book, when all at
tention should be given to the process
of mastication; consequently the
blood which should be helping diges
ton is rushed from the head"
"A tranquil condition of mind and
body is needed to insure perfect d.
gestion. think it is far better for
one TO dine in company. When the
diner talks he naturally prolongs the
meal, thus giving more time for the
food to be digested."

This was taken from wreck in i

shown by the history of the lighi
