PRESERVE FRUIT FOR SHOWS
Desirable That Specimens for ExhL

Colors and Not Decay.

In preserving fruit specimens fol
exhibition 1t is desirable that they
should retain the natural colors and

made Of 95 parts pure cistern water
and 8 parts formaldehyde or as 1t is
known commercially as 40 per cent
solution OF formaline which may be
obtained OF most any druggist
For grapes 2 parts formaldehyde
will be sufficient. Mason fruit Jars
can be used where the regular exhibi

The fruit should be we'll ripened

Very acid fruits will not be pre-
served in color so well as other varie-

overcome by adding to each gallon a

The shah,s HIGHWAY.

It is true we have some bad roads.
but most OF our highways compared
with those of Persia would be as a
paved street to a plowed field, says a
correspondent of Harper's Weekly.
You would think that the keeping Of
the shah's highway would be one Of
the first cares of state, yet so little
attention has been given to this sub
ject by the Persian government that
there are not dozen good wagon
roads throughout the whole country.
The caravan routes are, except in
a very few cases. merely trails. Not
only are the wagon roads bad as we'll
as scarce, but 1t is an astonishing
fact that although Persia is one OF
the oldest of civilized states, a count
try comprising an area of 62S.OOO
square miles and population OF
100000, she has but six miles of rail-
way.

steel superseding Wood.

The substitution of steel for WOOD
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January /, or whereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company will pack its
white lead in steel kegs, having de-
cided to abandon the use of wooden
kegs. This innovation is made be-
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not alb
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do. and there is,
therefore, no drying and caking of
the lead around the edges. making it
possible to remove every particle OF
white lead easily from the steel key.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as we'll as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in freight rates. Taking up
less room than the wooden kegs, the
new steel packages also will save stor'
age space.

is a high mantel shelf or other shelf
so far above your head that the uplift-
