Pineapple juice is a sovereign

was first discovered is uncertain. but
it has been known for a number of
years by Hawaiians, and recently a

The juice is expressed from the fresh
fruit, and sweetened, or it may be used
from the canned fruit with very salts

Mrs OCOOr Tells How Subjects of John Bull Appreciate Our Humor
pASTIME FOR STORMY DAY

Here is an amusement for a stormy
day which serves its purpose very well.
II is an original idea, which needs care
In the carrying out. The materials re-
CURED are a few fern leaves, a bottle
Of ink, comb, and a toothbrush, also
blank sheet Of white or coiored note
paper-the note paper to be fixed into
the album afterward.
The fern leaves are taken and laid on
the paper 20 form small bunch or as
artistic an arrangement as possible. It
Is better for them not to overlap; the
reason OF this viii be obvious as the
work proceeds When the leaves are
arranged on tho paper to lie as firmly
as possible, without being attaehd in
any way, the toothbrush must be dipped
evenly into the ink and grated over
the cOmb-a tOOthcOmb, or, at any rate.
a fine comb is essential. and il is better
to get the first ink out Of the toothbrush
by grating over blotting paper.
The Washington times., 1908-01-28

When it can be seen that the ink is
being brushed finely through the comb,
hold the comb over the fern leaves and
brush very, very gently and carefully
until the spaces between the leaves are
covered with fine specKs OF ink
Light and shade can be obtained by
grating more ink in one place than an
other After time, remove the fern
leaves, and their form will be clearly
seen by the white spaces. Their out
lines can be touched up and the veinings
marked by q pen, DsIng the natural
leaves as a guide. II the shading IS
not quite deep enough in PLACES, the
leaves can be rearTauged exactly as
they were before with a little care.
Caution not TO disturb the leaves while
the work IS in process is, however, very
necessary After a little practice, work
Of this description can be done straight
into the album. but first attempts are
better done on a piece OF loose paper
which can afterWard be fixed into the
album by cutting four diagonal Sits iu
the page. slipping the corners Of dis pa
per into them.
