While many persons are exceedingly
fond of grape fruit, this particular
delicacy is often entirely eliminated
from the menu. The bitterness is the
objectionable feature OF course In
the first place, the fruit should be ripe
and peeled the same as an orange, aft-
er which all sections should be torn
apart. Cut each section above where
the seed lies. The little envelope will
then open and the seeds win come out.
Cover the fruit with pulverized sugar.

RECOVERY IS MADE
Yesterdays Stock Market acted Just
as is Natural Following Thurs
days Violent Session.

New York, June 1.-The action Of
the stock market today was in ac,
cordance with the usual symptoms
following so violent a disturbance as
that of yesterday. The mere fact of
the arrest of the decline relieved
the market of the weight of forced
liquidation through the wiping OUT
OF margins and uncoyering of stop
loss orders
The imminence of the triple holt
day interval emphasized the dispo-
sition of the large short interest to
cover, and this constituted an inn
portant sustaining influence. There
was perceptible, also, the operation
OF the usual secondary causes in the
reselling OF stocks bought at the bot
tom prices yesterday by lucky specu-
lators eager to secure quick profits,
or by banking interests and insiders
VINO bought yesterday solely for the
purpose of checking the demoraliza-
ton AMI with no desire to retain
their holdings,
Still another class of selling came
from the bslated liquidation that had
been carried through the break of
yesterday to save a heavy sacrifice
with the condition of retirement at
the first available opportunity. In
some cases this belated liquidation
had the appearance of coming from
dissolved pools OF considerable cal
lbre lns response to these verying
factors the market had its periods of
feverishness and unsettlement
Aside from buying by shorts there
was not an aggressive demand. and
the hesitation Of buying increased as
prices extended their recovery.
There was resumption of inter
ests in the more normal influence al

after-diversion Of attention by yestel-
days sump The possibilities Of
change in holdings and Influence in
different properties was canvassed in

when the British built the Egyptian
state railway the officials were as
founded at the enormous quantities Of
train oil that disappeared. They knew
that all this oil couldn't be used for
lubricating purposes, so they made an
investigation and found that it had
become the staple food Of the poor
feIlahin. The railroad detectives re
ported that the fellahin all over
Egypt were using the Egyptian state
railways train oil as their chief sup
port. They buttered their bread with
train oil. They fried their fish in train
oil. They made Kind of suet pudding

train oil heated as flesh producer or
