Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks OF
the Incas. They were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces
of the dead Three Of these obtained
by Mr.. Vautin are of sheet gold.

Good SUGGESTIONS.

For five cents you can get a brush
that will help wash the vegetables for
the table, before cooking. Saves wear
and tear on the hands
For variety cook some little white
onions with the green peas. Fresh
peas need no flavor, but their own,
but If not perfectly fresh the onions
improve them.
When putting away your furs and
woolens for the summer, brush them
thoroughly and air them, then sprin-
kle them literally with black pepper
to preserve from moths. There is no
disagreeable odor and the pepper Ia

DAINTY AND DELICIOUS
SALADS TO TEMPT THE MOST
JApED APPETITE.
Now Served at Beginning OF Dinner
and Voted Digestive Second
to None-Some Brand-NeW
Recipes.

They are serving salads, with diff
ference. A salad nowadays Is very
frequently eaten at the beginning or
dinner and voted a digestive second
to none.
Of all the fruits, pineapple Is OF
the greatest value to the dyspept1c
and contains the most delicate acid.
The following recipe for a pineapple
salad will be found an excellent one,
and it is, moreover, very pretty dish
to serve at the beginning of luncheon
or dinner.
Pineapple In Lettuce Nests.-Cut
pineapple into small pieces. Add one
cupful of finely chopped celery, one
cupful of walnut meats and one cupful
of orange pulp. Shred one head or
lettuce very finely and form into nests
on individual plates.
Mix one cupful of mayonnaise and
stir it lightly with the pineapple, etc.;
add more mayonnaise, If the fruit Is
not sufficiently moist, and heap into
the little lettuce nests. Decorate with
chopped walnuts.
SaIade q La Versailes.-Bail six
artichokes, separate the "fonds" from
the leaves, and cut into small pieces.
Put in salad bowl with an equal
quantity Of asparagus points that have
been cooked in sailed water. Take
q handful of sailed aim )nds, chop
them fine, pound them with the juice
of two lemons and half a pint Of
cream, salt and pepper, and pour over
the salad.
A little mayonnaise may be added
to the salad, but it is more delicate
in flavor without 1t.
With cold chicken nothing Is more
excellent than a salad of carrots, Gu
cumbers and hard boiled eggs, all cut
in rings and sent to table with this
dressing: two tablespoonfuls Of olive
oil with one of lemon juice, with salt,
| pepper and speck Of sugar to taste.
Mushroom Salad.-Remove the skin
and almost all the stalk from some
button mushrooms, drop them into
boiling sailed water, and cook for
three minutes.
Lay them on a napkin, and when
quite cold sprinkle them with pepper
and salt and finely chopped parsley
Lay on a dish and pour over two ia
blespoonfuls of oil to one of Tarragon
vinegar.
Shrimp Salad La Bretagne.-
Shell a quart Of boiled shrimps and
lay them on young lettuce leaves in
a salad bowl. Chill some mayonnaise
sauce on ice, pour over the shrimps
and serve.
Tongue Saiad.-Mix together and
put in a fine dredger small guam
tity each of celery, salt, red pepper
and black pepper, white sugar, ant
allspice. Take some thin slices o.
Russian tongue, squeeze little lem
on juice over the piece and lightly
dredge with the above mixture.
Shave up some white onions and
celery and put them in the salad
bowl with few white lettuce hearts
Add the tongue next, then pour sew
eral spoonfuls of oil over the whole
with dash of vinegar. Serve a
once.

A trial package of Munyon's raw raw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d d
jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communl-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartcs. They
coax the, liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they 90
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my OPINION
constipation is responsible Tor most all
ments There are 26 feet OF human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health.
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it..
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating They school the bowels
to act without physic.
