upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court in
1906. The decision OF the Federal Su-

CEYLoN HAVING A BOOM.
Trade Outlook the Best Ever known
in the History of the Island


I'm the History of the Island
Ceylon as a whole is experiencing a
period of exceptional prosperity and
the trade outlook is the best ever
known in the history of the island, ac-
cording to the Journal of the American
Asiatic Association. Tea, cocoanuts,
cacao. cardamons and c~itronella are
paying we'll, and rubber and camphor
are still more profitable. L.
There has beer a continued boom in
| rubber planting, which now occupies
about $4,000 acres, while tea has had
a revival and high prices are now being
realized. Camphor prices are very
high. and the cultivation has been ex-
tended so that there are now some 9OO
acres under this product.
A transportation question that has
been agitated in Ceylon for a long
while. and that is now being brought
actively to the front again, is that OF
connecting Ceylon to India by a rail-
road across Adams bridge and the shall
low bodies of water lying between
Rameswaram and T~allaimannar at the
northern end of the island.
The South Indian Railway company
is bringing its line to the extreme point
of the small island of Rameswaram, Sc
that only a small gap OF water will in
tervene between the terminal of the In
dian and Ceylon railways.
If the connection is made at all ii
will make Colombo the port for South
ern India, and will greatly benefit the
tea and rubber industries by facilitat-
ing the transportation of laborers from
India.

REDoLENT VIRGINIA HAM.

Properly Cooked and Served, Moth
ing Can Beat 1t as ''Good Eatin'."
1t is coming ham and sausage way
the weather. The thermometer on my
front porch has said 80 degrees three
mornings in the last ten days. The
nip and snap call for vigorous exercise
and good solid food, says Victor Smith
in the New York Press. The odor Of
cooking ham and sausage tickles he
most delicate palate in such a temper
allure. The hobo fingers over the
grating in front of the restaurant and
inhales a dinner in the fumes of the
basement kitchen. He is feeding his
lungs If not his stomach; and it may
be that when a mans stomach Is gone
dead his beathing apparatus will sus-
tain life. The redolence of q Virginia
ham, cured in the old way. cooked in
the old way, is a complete dinner.
Here comes a letter from n man with
n ham and some soras: "A friend sent
me a box containing a Virginia ham
and some reed birds. We've eaten the
birds and now want to cook the ham,
Tell US how" Is it Il S%mithfield? Is it
twenty-five years old? Is it utterly de-
void of fatty substance? That is, has
the lean absorbed all the fat? Don't
forget the story of the lean and fat
cattle in the Bible. Before undertake
ing to cook a ham know your ham. A
genuine Smithfield Is worth 50 cents a
pound and cheap at the price. 1t is as
solid as a hunk OF dried venison. You
can eat it uncooked with much relish.
If this Virginia ham IS a Smithfield
and very strong it must be soaked in
cold water for three days. The strength
may be determined by inserting q
skewer and smelling or tasting it when
withdrawn. Fill the big iron pot with
cold water and boil till it sputters.
Then drop in the ham. This will chill
the water TO 4 simmer. Place on the
back of the stove over a slow fire and
forget it for ten hours. Make half a
dozen corr dodgers and boil them in
liquor of turnip greens. Some folk call
these dumplings. Garnish the dish con-
tanning the ham with them and serve
red hot. 9
In cooking a ham that has been prop
erly cured avoid rich sauces, never use
sherry, do not bake with sugar, cloves
and other spices. If q man wants to
spoil his ham at the table after it Is
sliced to him, give him catsup or mus
tard In cooking n ham il is assumed
that you want to retain the flavor OF
the ham. Don't ruin it with condi-
mentS.

One does not need to grasp the hand
in a d~eath-like grip, but there is some
thing about Il good handshake which is
the silent interpreter of a welcome. A
person possessing a great deal of per
sonal magnetism may just take your
hand in his and the cordial welcome is
recognized without even SO much as the
slightest pressure OF the fingers
Others may have a good grip, which is
more like n clutch. There is not set
rule for ha~ndshaking unless a person
bears in mind that handshaking must
be a feeling expressed with the hands
and not the eye or voice. If only done
through a matter of form, there is no
earthly use of shaking hands at all.
Strong intuition serves a great many
persons, and TO grasp a cold, clammy
hand. which lies like a piece of marble
in ones hand, is to make a big-hearted
person feel like he had come in contact
with the wrong party.

Lemons XIII Germs.

The hygienic properties Of lemons,
which contain citric acid, have been
only lately that scientists have discov-
cred the acid was powerful enough to
kill the germ Of typhoid fever in
twenty-four hours. Some typhoid fe-
yer bacilli treated with raw lemon
Juice and placed in the sunshine were
killed in two hours, the sunshine prov
ing a quick agent in connection with
the medicinal properties OF the fruit.
Lemons have been found beneficial in
the worst forms of smallpox and chol-
era, so it is well to know the medici-
nal properties of a harmless yet power
full fruit acid.
