= WHAT THEY ARE.

The home cook may have hazy
notion about some of the delicacies
which are often referred to in menus
and recipes, but which are not ex-
actly "home grown" products.
Most women know in general
way about all of these things, but
here is a little additional information
for the inexperienced:
Anchovy, for instance, is a. small
fish which comes from the Mediter-
ranean. It is freed from bones, split
and sailed and put up in glass Jars
and is called fillet Of anchovy. It
has a high flavor and is used in
sandwiches as an appetizer, or as q
garnish for some salads.
Caviar is another highly favored
delicacy used as an appetizer. 1t is
made from the roe of certain large
fish, which are preserved by sailing.
It is served on small pieces. Of toast
with finely chopped onions and
minced hard boiled eggs, and lemon.
Chervil is a garden herb like young
parsley. It is of a. delicious flavor
and may be used in salads and soups.
Chives are kind of slim green
onion tops with mild flavor. They
are excellent for flavoring soups,
sauces and salads. and some kinds of
cheese.
Truff1es are a species Of fungus
which are. found only in France
They grow several inches UNDER
ground and when fresh have g.
strongly aromatic flavor. They are
usually sold in cans or glass bottles.
Chutney is an East Indian hot
sweet pickle, and made from cocanut,
chillies and other articles.
Curry powder Is yellow powder

tumeric. It is a product Of Indian

The mouth Of the Kalvik river Is

Tor a considerable distance it is neces-
sary to transport all supplies to and

the channel the Juliet came to her
moorings not far from the Bedford
Castle.
To Marsh, already furious at the
trick the ice had played him, this fore
ed proximity to his rival brought home
with added irony the fact that he had
been forestalled, while it emphasized
his knowledge that henceforth the con-
fltct would be carried on at closer
quarters. It would be a contest be-
tween two men, both determined to
win by fair means or foul.

Perfufded.. Beda.

:1>.% Perfumed.. Beds. -: s~;s
There is nothing: very novel, the
uninitiated may think, about perfumed
beds, for every one knows how good
housewives have for g. generation
prided themselves on their napery,
and that one Of their special little
fads was to place lavender bags
among the sheets In order to add a
little luxury Of the sleeper, But
when perfumed beds are talked of
nowadays something is contemplated
which was unknown to the oldtime
housewife.
Now between the mattress and the
sheet there is laid scented pad-a
thin quilted affair, which has one
layer of cotton freely sprinkled
with the favorite sachet powder
which causes the whole bed to smell
deliciously Of roses, violets, or what
ever may be the chosen perfume.
Pillows are also opened and sachet
powder is sprinkled among the
feathers. Orris makes perfume re-
sembling violets, and there are some
people who like that Of pine, which
Is easily obtained by gathering the
needles from the trees in summer
and laying them flat in little sacks,
which are inserted in both pads and
pillows.
Why Care for Your Teeth?

Without good teeth you cannot d.

around the gums; food gathers and
sticks there. -:
There is no doubt the spread Of
tuberculosis IL often caused by de-
cayed teeth.
From the health standpoint It is
more important to brush the teeth
after each meal than to wash the
face on rising.

paying fair prices. The tobacco sold
for and cents is and cent goods,
while the better qualities are bringing
from to 10 cents. The packers, now
that they have gathered up most OF the,
crop, are quite willing to attribute to
it qualities that, earlier in the buying
season, they affirmed they could not
have. Evidently the possession of a
lot of tobacco changes mans views
regarding it's merits.
Nothing has been doing in old goods
but what has been going on for some
months, a jobbing trade that keeps
pace with the cigar industry. The lat
ter gave evidence the past week of
bracing up some, and even some of the
smaller manufacturers have been put
ting on hands. Taken as whole, April
was not good month, even worse than
March, as shown by the receipts of the
Ninth Internal Revenue District. The
receipts in April were $168, ,810.36, the
tax on Sc, 270, 120 cigars, while in March
they were $l71, ,456. 20, the tax on 81
151 400 cigars. Compared with April a
year ago this is an improvement, for
then the receipts were only $161, ,240. 73,

On the eastern side of the Connecti-
cut valley the tobacco growers say that
the spring is too forward, although
young plants are up and doing well.
Many of the older growers predict that
there will be frost before setting-out
time, and they do not like to set plants
in the field before June l, although in
some places growers are planning on
putting out plants as early as May 20.
Very few of the growers, if any,
sterilized their seed . beds this spring,
it not being the custom in this locality.
Now farmers are spending much time
in wedding seed beds, which might
have been eliminated had they sterial-
lied with either steam or formalin
when preparing the beds Practically
all methods are employed in producing
small plants along the eastern side of
the river. Glass frames, glass ard
cloth, all cloth and evcn brush pQlts
are used. Those who use part cloth
and part glass, shifting two sections
glass is over the plants one day az
cloth the next, claim this prevents gls
burn and still keeps in plenty of heft
In most sections 1909 crops have be-
either packed and sold or are beip
packed and held. Comparatively little
old tobacco of 1907 and 1908 is in first
hands. That which is held is generally

farmers hands, although the 1907 crop
was held by many to be generally a
poor proposition. Homestead.

. NEW O1stA, AA0J 4OAVs
Market conditions appear to have i'm
proved somewhat during the week. Not
only did batch of Inquiries pour into
Water street, but actual transactions
were more frequent than for many a
week past. The revival of activity is
evidently due to a more satisfactory
output by our cigar industry during the
past month, as evidenced by the re-
turns from the chief cigar producing
districts. And this incipient revival
may be taken as forerunner for a
livelier trade from now on. Binder
types are beginning to get scarce, and
there will be evidently hustle for
them before last years crops become
marketable in the fall In filler types
old stocks are in lively demand also.
Prices are still reasonable, even mod
crate, considering the tendency of an
upward move in the value of all pro-
ducts. And if our cigar industry should
share only in the natural progress of
consumption the increased demand will
work in itself as a natural lever to
drive up prices on the raw material.
AS for the wrapper situation the new
Sumatra is proving itself a fast seller.
The inscriptions SO far have shown the
leaf suitable for the American market
to be of limited quantity. And if this
limit is kept up at the remaining in
scriptions then such leaf is bound to
advance in price. It is probably this
consideration which is spurning the
cigar manufacturer to invest so liber-
ally in the new importations, which un-
doubtedly represent the best the new
crop is offering. Of course the old
stock on hand is also sharing a livelier
consumption, but the amount of the old
stock has been largely reduced besides
having been pretty well picked already.
At any rate there is more animation
perceptible in our market with the ex-
ception of Havana, the demand for
which has been restricted of late. =

AS the crop is estimated at about

The seed beds, in spite of cold nights,
are showing up well, plenty having
plants with leaves as large as silver
quarter. There seems to be no reason
for doubling that the plants will be set
out in the fields unusually early this
year.
The new crop is being bought up
steadily, and it may be doubted if the
growers hold fifteen per cent of it. A
good deal of what is left is excellent
filler goods, not all of the best tobacco
having been bought up, by long odds.
