FOODS OF ITALY.
SpeciaIties of the Frigsitrici In Naples
and Genoa.

SpeciaIties of the Frigsitrici In Naples
and Genoa.
Huge meaty chestnuts are found ev-
erywhere in Italy. Peeled and boiled
in reddish broth seasoned with lau-
rel leaves and caraway seeds, the nuts
are palatable. About two dozen Of the
large kernels are sold for penny. In
both Genoa and Naples the friggitrict
are interesting. and some Of their spe-
cialties are well worth trial II one
can forget the unappetizing appear
ance of cooks and cooking appliances.
One friggitrice attracts attention to q
tray of golden balls which she piles In
a pyramid. The golden balls are arti-
chokes. They are boiled in salted wa
ter until tender and are put In a pan
over steam to keep them hot until a
customer appears. For threepence the
yender will take one from the steam
ing pan, dry it, dip 1t into batter and
pop it into the hot oil. A moment
later a golden brown ball. delicious
and crispy on tie outside and tender
and succulent on the inside, Is handed
to the purchaser. The frying is man
aged in such a way that when the
fritters are taken from the kettle they
are very hot, but so dry on the outside
that they scarcely soil the fingers when
eaten from the hand. Another frig-
gitrice speciality is that Of cheese balls.
They are made Of paste filed with
grated cheese and fried. Mashed chest
nuts, rice, chopped chicken and many
vegetables are used to vary the filings
for the popular fritos. Some Of the
frying kettles are portable, and the
friggitrici have regular routes like the
milkmen, where they tap at the base
ment door, get their orders, take their
tiny bellows and blow up the char
coal until it glows and then cook the
breakfast Of meat balls or rice cakes
or artichokes, which are sent in hot

When food fails to digest you must
Help the Stomach =

It is like a lame ankle.
It will never get well while you
rse and abuse it.
But rest it completely and Nature
restores its strength.
You need a perfect digester.
Not pepsin alone, for pepsin di-
gests albumen only.
There are starch and fats and
phosphates which must be digested
too.
And half of digestion takes place
In the bowels. You must supply
what is needed there.
It is not an easy matter to
create a perfect digester. 1t has
taken US years
There are plenty of ways to di-
gest part of the food, but that isn't
sufficient.
A digester must deal with mix
ture of foods.

does when well, and all that the
bowels do.
Kodol alone will do that.

Solenodons.

Only two species Of that singular In
sectivorous mammal, the solenodon,
are known, one inhabiting Haiti and
the other Cuba. They differ chiefly In
the color and quality Of their fur.
Solenodons are quaint looking animals,
rather larger than rats, with long fext-
BILE snouts and naked tails. They are
nocturnal and obtain their food by
digging in the soft ground for insects,
ETC., with their snouts. Their brain
capacity is small, and they are said to
have the curious habit when hunted
by dogs Of hiding their heads In the
nearest holes and leaving their bodies
exposed. ..~....

Battle Of Sedan.

was unavoidable On Sept. l, 1870.
at 6 o'clock In the morning, Marshal
MacMahon, returning wounded to Sc

Base Ball at SaltefS.

SALTERs, July 27:-On Tues
day, July 2S, the Salters and Lane
base ball teams will play the third
game of base ball this season. The
first game was playei on the local
diamond and resulted in a score of
7 to 2 in favor of Salters. The Sec
ond game, on the Lane diamond, re-
suited in victory for Lane by a
score of 20 to 5. The Salters team
was in a crippled condition is the
reason of such difference in the
score. Two of their best players
1ere absent while Lane h ad some
players from other towns. The Sec
ond nine of Lane will also cross bats
with the second nine of Salters at
? p m, so it will be double header.
Salters defeated Dauntless last
Saturday by a score of 5 to ,. They
both played fine ball.
Salters has been trying to get up
a game with Greelyville but they
seem afraid to tackle the Salters
"Sand-lappers.' Some weeks ago
they defeated the Salters boys by
small score, but they had players
from all about the country. Salters
is playing strictly home talent and
is willing to play any team in the
county. We certainly have a fine
team and We are proud of them. If
those Spring Gully fellows, who
have been playing tag with Harpers
will come over We will show them
how to play ball.

beethoven AND BUSINESS.
Selling His Music Was Distastefui to
the Great Composer.

An extremely interesting article
which has appeared In German mu-
steal and theatrical paper under the
above heading contains the following
statement. says London exchange;
Beethoven never bargained In the or
binary way. His fees for n compost
ton were demanded briefly and In
decided manner, and he always pointed
out when mentioning n price that he
meant guineas and not soyereigns, or,
rather. their equivalent IN Austrian
coin. In 1901 he wrote to n music firm
at Leipzig: Now the unpalatable bust
ness part Is done with. | wish things
could be managed differently In this
world. There should be only one mu-
sic publisher 10 whom the artist might
take his work, knowing that he might
ask fee according to his require
ments. AS it is. he has to be partly Il
tradesman. Good heavens, how DIFF
ferent and unpalatable this is.' But
this plous wish was never fulfilled, and
Beethoven had to remain half "A
tradesman'' to the end
AS a suggestion OF how dedications
are occasionally made, the following
letter, which Beethoven wrote TO the
same publisher In 1902 from Vienna, Is
interesting.
1.-THE lady In question can have n
sonata, and ] will do my best TO carry
out her aesthetic Ideas. The price IS
B guineas (ducaten), and for this she
may retain the sonata for year as
her private property, but not for pub
licatlon. At the end of the year the
sonata becomes my property-that is
to say, l have the right to publish It,
and II she thinks 1t an honor she may
ask to have the work dedicated to
her."
This, from the business point of view
of the lady in question. Is surely a
tempting offer. At least, SO the art
patroness of today would think If she
had a chance Of suggesting 10
Beethoven the aesthetic idea" for
sonata. to retain such treasure In her
own hands for twelvemonth and
thereafter have 1t dedicated to her
