Vanilla pods, or beans, as they are
popularity called, as found in the
shops. look like dark brown, narrow,
flexible strips, from three to eight
inches in length, flattened and hooked
at the stem end.
The surface is furrowed lengthwise
during the process of curing, and Is
often covered with tiny crystals
Within are innumerable minute, shln-
ing. bead-like black seeds, imbedded In
an aromatic sticky pulp. Much OF the
commercial extract is adulterated with
the Tonka bean, which belongs to the
same family, but is not nearly so dell
cate.
The cheapest bargain" extracts are
made entirely from the Tonka bean, 1t
has been said that in most cases where
poisoning has taken place after eating
ice cream, cheap vanilla has been the
flavor employed. Where the pure arti-
Gle is prepared at home there is never
any danger.
The vanilla plant is an orchid and
the only one whose fruit has a COM
mercial value.
Another way Of preparing the flavor
ing is to split four beans and clip In
bits with scissors. Put seeds, husks
and all into bottle, pour over them
one pint of brandy or whisky, cork
tightly. shaking frequently for the first
four or five weeks.
Vanilla Sugar for FlavorIng.-An-
other excellent way to utilize the pods
for flavoring is this: Cut one ounce OF
the Mexican vanilla beans into very
small pieces, using shears or knife.
Add one ounce grain alcohol, macerate
for 80 minutes, then add two ounces
sugar of milk. Break up seven ounces
rock candy crystals with hammer,
first wrapping a cloth around it, and
add to the other ingredients. Add also
two pounds powdered sugar. When
thoroughly mixed put into a well
stoppered bottle. This is unequaled
for purity and flavor.
Lemon Extract-Before cutting the
lemons to extract the juice, scrub well.
rinse and wipe with soft cloth. Then
CRATE off all the delicate yellow skin,
taking care that none of the white
part of the rind goes in, as this will
give bitter taste Pack small bot
tie full of these yellow shavings, cover
with pure grain alcohol and set away
for three weeks At the end of that
time strain and bottle.
Lemon Sugar.-Place the grated vel
low rind of lemons in a wide-mouthed
bottle and cover thickly with granu-
lated sugar. Keep the bottle tightly
corked The sugar becomes saturated
with the oil from the peel and when
used imparts delicious flavor

SELLS TIME FOR A LIVING.
Woman Furnishes Greenwich Correc'

London.-A woman selling time for
a living is one of the curious phases
of the eking out of livelihoods in Lon
don. The woman is the daughter OF
Mrs. Belleville, who inherited the bust
ness from her father and transmitted
it to her successor, living at Maiden
head
Miss Belleville says the idea was
suggested to her father in 1885 by Mr.
Pond, the then astronomer royal. He
acted on it, and by taking around
correct chronometer to the chief clock
and watch makers he secured an In
come of about $4,000.
When he died in 1856 his widow
was granted the privilege Of having
the chronometer corrected at Green
witch whenever she liked, and she car
ried on the business until 1892, when
she had reached the age of 81 years.
She handed the business over to the
daughter and Miss Belleville has car
ried it on ever since by permission OF
the astronomer royal.

GUS parts of London, including many
important and old-established firms.
Miss Belleville goes from Maiden
head to Greenwich every Monday
morning and has her chronometer cor
rected. She receives an official docu-
ment stating that her chronometer diff
fers from mean time by so many Sec
onds and tenths, and her customers
correct their times accordingly.
The famous chronometer was made
in 1885 by Arnold, a prince among
watchmakers, for the duke of Sussex,
one of the sons of George Ill, but the
duke discarded it because it was too
clumsy, and Mr.. Belleville purchased
it. Mr.. Belleville substituted a silver
case for the original gold one, because

sionally into the less desirable quar-.
