3 UTIL.-Las nueces secas Sc re-
frescan con gran facilidad. Basta te-
nerlas durante 4 6 5 dias en- aqua
salada al 5 por 100. Ell aqua penetra
lentamente a trav6s de la cAscara
hasta la almendra, la cual Sc ablan-
da y Sc hincha de tai suerte que al
conner las nueces precen frescas. Nj
slquiera Sc altera SUI sabor Y el pelle-
jo Sc desprende como 81 el fruto aca

La sal tiene por objeto impedir
que el aqua Sc corrompa y que absor
ba demasiado Ia almendra mediantl
la dificultad que la sal crea al hqui-
do en- su paso a traves de las celulas

que este rejuvenecimiento no debe
practicarse mas que con nueces sana

y que jamas deben someterse al pro-
cedimiento los frutos que vayan a

apreciaba las ventaias que ofrecian

seos europeos Sc ven armas de fuego
sin martllo. Cuando Sc montaban
una de estas armas en- la parte ex-
terror no Sc vefa ning1n cuerpo sa-

ventajas, por algdn motive Sc echo
al olvido Y no vino 4 resuscitarse
sino fines del siglo pasado, desde
cuya epoca hasta la actualidad son

DEBATE RESUMED
ON RAILROAD BILL
Effort TO Get an Eleven
O'clock Session
Fails.

Debate on the railroad bill was re-
sumed today IN the Senate
While an effort TO get an II O'Clock
session Of the Senate was made, Il
failed because OF important committee
work and because the Senators who
were present at yesterdays Il O'Clock
session insisted that the whole Of the
extra hour was dissipated in a fruit
less parliamentary discussion.
When the Senate DID, however, settle
itself to serious consideration of the
railroad bin. some decidedly interesting
remarks were made by Senators Bailey
and Crawford.
The Texan declared there were many
people in this country who wanted TO
make this a Government by platforms
he said that no man in Congress was
bound 10 vote for or against any meas
71re simply because il was advocated
Ia the party platform He said the
member of Congress owed duty 10 the
whole people and THAI this duty could
not be faithfully discharged If he bound
himself to a party platform and voted
by that platform whether 1t was right
or wrong
Senator Crawford spoke to his traffic
agreement amendment He fathered an
amendment giving 10 railroads the RICH
10 make the agreements subject to the
approval Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission TeTe was q sharp discus
sion between a numDer of Republican
party platform on this point and this
is what brought Senator Bailey into
the argument with his declaration
against Government by platforms
