MAKING SOUP WITHOUT SCUM
Nearly Every Woman Spells Soup by
Putting Meat on In Cold
Water.

1t is not generally known that
meat, properly boiled, yields no
"scum" whatever. Scum" is pro-
duced only when the meat is put on
the stove in cold water. Nearly every
woman spells the soup in that way.
Only a few French cooks from the
old country know how to produce
good, clean soup without the slight
est appearance of scum" They al
ways put the bone or meat into boil
ing hot water. This method prevents
the escape of the most nutritious part
of the meat-the albumen, or, as it
is called, the white of the egg. Break
an & in hot water and it peaches;
break it in cold water, allowing 1t to
come to a boil, and you have-no
egg-only scum" Scum" in fried
meat is the best part of the gravy
you never throw it away. Try hot
water, and you will have clean,
healthy soup and no "scur."

a Corner In Candles.

AS an example Of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
BENJAMIN Crabb obtained the exclus-
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, R. l., and with
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days s1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as 1t is now

FALLING FROM HEIGHTS
SCIENTIST SAYS SENSATIONS ARE
NOT UNPLEASANT.
Makes Story Of Fall Over PreclpIce an
Encouraging Account to Those
With Inclination to High
Jumps.

A German scientist,-Prof. Albert
Helm, who fell over a precipice in the
Alps but lived to tell the tale, makes
that story a very encouraging account
to those with an inclination to high
Jumps and the like.
His fall was only 70 feet, yet that
would be more than enough to satisfy
a temperate person. He has narrated
his sensations in minute detail.
At first he seemed to himself to be
flying through the air. His fall really
could have occupied only a few sec
onds, but his train Of thougks was
long and full Of interesting detail.
81 clearly saw he says, "the posi-
bility of my fate. l said to myself:
The rocky wall from which l am now
cling hurled prevents my seeing what
Is at it's base. The snow may be melt
ed there, or there may be none; II
there is any my life may be saved.
Otherwise death is inevitable.
"If 1 am conscious on reaching the
earth l have by me a bottle of arc
mates and my alpenstock. l will still
grasp 1t, for 1t may serve me in good
stead 1 thought, too, Of removing
my eyeglasses lest their splintering
might injury.
"Other and greater thoughts for
those l was to leave behind came
upon me. For myself l felt indiffer-
ent, caring really little whether
should be much injured or not; but
from motives of consideration for 9TH
ers l felt impelled, as it were, to make
light of the matter. l seemed to call
aloud, L am not much hurt
81 recollected that in five days more
[ was to have delivered an inaugural
discourse, and thought of the grief
my death would have cause to those
hear and dear to me. Anon, lying as
1t were, on the limit Of a far distant
horizon, appeared distinct and divers
images and episodes in my past life.
The whole mental picture stood out
clear cut.
"All things seemed lovely and of
good report. There we're no misgiv-
Jugs, III dlAlStleS, luO oOllOW, pom -
terror.
Gradually a heaven Of glorious
blue, flecked with crimson clouds of
gossamer lightness, surrounded me.
In them l was waited to and fro,
borne up from below, but painlessly
and pleasantly, while a vast and NOV
Ing snowfeld seemed to- accompany
me.
Then came a dull thud, which l
heard very distinctly, but did not feel
and my fall was ended. At that In
slant a dark veil passed before me.
81 called aloud three or four times,
I am not much hurt grasped my
glasses, which lay near me, and touch
ed my limbs to make sure they were
not broken.
Then 1 saw my companions slowly
approaching. They told me a good half
hour had elapsed after my fall before
[ spoke.
Il had lost consciousness, and that
explains the dark veil. Later my
power of thinking returned. l was
conscious only SO long as 1 was falling
of the perception of beautiful images.
At the moment of contact with earth
they disappeared."-Gateway.

To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the flowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
in them.

ECZEMA GONE, B0ILS CURED

"My son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a Watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. 1 became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at nee pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. By the end
of that time, he seemed no better. l
became discouraged, and as l had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials Of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, 1 dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and In a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
hollis which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time 1
dropped the doctors treatment, l used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head a mass of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and I feel that I W a great
