WHEN JEWELS ARE ILL.

Are your jewels fading away? Then they are sick" and you should see that they properly looked after, London Answers says.
 All jewels liable to become "ill' and a proper jewel nurse should be called in to attend the patient. What this illness" really is has not yet been definitely settled Certain people, how ever, have mysterious power which enables them to "cure" pearls that have lost their brilliance.
 One of the most remarkable pearl "curers" is Senorita Valencia, Spanish dancing girl. She discovered her mysterious power quite by acci- dent. One day she bought some pearls very cheaply owing to their dullness. She wore them for few weeks. and they gradually regained their original beauty.
 So successful has she been in this work that she is more famous a of sick pearls than as dancer She has been commissioned by the czar to go to St Petersburg in order to 'cure" the famous pearl necklace which belonged to the Empress Catherine
 Another dodge for curing sick pearls besides nursing them is to place them in the again. But it must be the open sea itself They generally placed in a perforated casket and left

 tions and camps. There seems to be no doubt that much of the typhoid in the Spanish-Amer- 1can and South African applicable on no other theory In America this belief became so current that it was spoken of as the typhoid fly"
 Accurate experiments carried out in this try and elsewhere have demonstrated the disease carrying propenSlties of the Musca domeStica. Typhoid germs have been recovered from it's body days after it was infected. In the of some germs it has actually been found that where the larva is infected the infection may persist throughout the mOu!tings and be present in the adult or image stage late nineteen days. Not only a typhoid-carrier, the fly is also be- heved to carry the disease germs of tuberculosis, cholera, dysentery. and summer darrhoea of chill dren, disease which sweeps away vast numbers Of bottlefed children in every civilized community at the present day.
 The necessity of removing destroying all putrid organic matter and filth comes home to us when We remember that the fly is capable of long and rapid flights. In actual experiments marked flies were released and captured half mile away within forty-fve minutes. That flies carry filth on their bodies can be readily shown by talk Ing one from any place and allowing it to walk over the surface of sterile nutrient jelly.

SIMPLE SEASONING A MERIT.
By Martha McCuIIoch Williams

BJ Hidl lItd lFSShliOSi w WllildHlSs
 Paper bag cookery conserves the natural juices and savers of food stuffs and so requires but light seasoning.
 Take the case of so-ealled melted butter. Ordinarily, mixture of but. ter, flour and water, variously spiced and seasoned and cooked to a pasty consistency. it must give the stomachs that receive it mighty wrestle Melt ed butter, viscid and heavy, means oyerwork for it-potential dyspepsia Far otherwise with real melted but ter-butter pure and simple, mixed only with the salts and savers of food stuffs
 l wish you would try this sort of melted butter for either meats or vege- tables. Put the butter in an enamel sauce pan with salt, pepper, paprika, the least sprinkle of fine herbs ard very little nutmeg. Add half the butter-bJlk of boiling water, cook to- gether for five minutes, stirring well, then put in either lemon juice claret or sherry equal in quantity to the boil 'A4o " HtCAs anu lSI oldI1o hSI uOI H ClICL until ready to serve.
 Since omelets are possible to the paper bag here follow directions for several sorts, each a little out of the common. All must be cooked alike in very well-buttered bag of proper size, set in very hot oven at first, and the heat slacked a third or even half, after three to five minutes
 Plain Omelet: This plain omelet can be the foundation of many other sorts By doubling the egg contents and re- ducing the milk one-half, it becomes richer and lighter. But just as given it is fine for breakfast or luncheon. Begin by beating very light three eggs, white and yolks separate. Add to the yolks a tablespoonful of flour sifted with half a teaspoonful of baking pow der and half as much salt. Melt a spoonful of butter in a pint of milk, beat it gradually into the egg and flour mixture-the milk must be hot, but not boiling-then fold in lightly the stiffly beaten whites, pour into your bag, seal, put on trivet and cook fifteen minutes.
 Chicken or Ham Omelet: To turn this into chicken omelet. add a very little more flour to the mixture, then stir in well just before putting it in the bag a cup of cold chicken minced very fine and seasoned lightly with onion juice or minced celery. For ham omelet leave out half the flour and scant the allowance of salt and baking powder Water can be used in stead of milk-in that case, put in more melted butter. Mince or grind the cooked ham very fine and season it with onion juice and the barest dusting of sugar, not enough to taste only to throw up the piquancy of the ham. Put in the minced ham before the beaten whites, mix lightly, put in well buttered bag and bake fifteen minutes

 bered among his victims and his toll of death among infants is appalling.
 War to the death must be waged against this death-dealing insect No other duty is so important to the housewife the extermination of the fly And the task is much easier than it will be later when the breeding process has multiplied his numbers
 Swat the fly!
 One of the most remarkable advances in modern medicine and sanitary science has come from the knowledge of the fact that many of the most mur- derous diseases of man and animals caused by the bites of infected bloodsucking insects The pioneers in this discovery Theobald Smith and kflborne, who showed quarter of century that the deadly Texas fever of cattle caused by the bite of a fy-the Boophus bowls, which had be- come infected by sucking the blood of affected cat tie. This great discovery soon followed by that or the relation of the mosquito to malaria and yellow lever the relation of the tsetse fly to sleeping sick ness and other forms of trypanosomass, the relation or the tick to tick fever of the bug to reapsng teVer Of numerous ticks to anaemic diseases in cat ue causing vast economic losses.
 In temperate climates it would appear that man Is lareey immune from bloodsucking infected insects. hecently, however, the house fly has been found to De danger If in manner somewhat different in so lar as It Is unable to penetrate the skin owing to

This will bring the prob lem home to all, and by concerted effort the doom of the house fly will be sealed
 The fy-sWatting crusade has been taken up seriously by number of large cities, either ofl cially or by self-constituted committees of ~y spirited citizens In Cleveland a twS{a ,+

 The artistic fly swatter was guaranteed a profit able market under this scale of prices while l0 cents hundred as the top limit made it i'm possible for Napoleon of fly finances to fill the cold storage warehouses with flies and ever after have champagne for breakfast. AS it takes 10 900 hles to make quart, the price per quart ranged from 10 cents to $10 A similar range in price in stocks within two weeks would set the country by the ears. The Cleveland plan gives the gam. bier chance enough, and the rights of the con- sumer and producer are safeguarded
 Ten cents a quart was the price established in Washington two years ago. but that was Sep tember price. One female crawling out of warm corner in the month of April will start family tree which, without casualties would have Sep- tember membership of about three trons

Egypt Probably the Only Place Where Peculiar Hues May Be Observed
 to Advantage.

In Egypt, where the atmosphere is very clear, the green tints of the sun set light are peculiarly distinct. AS tbe sun descends nearer and nearer to the horizon, and is immensely en- larged. it's rays suddenly become for an instant of brilliant green. Then a succession of green rays suffuses the sky well nigh to the zenith
 The same phenomenon occurs at sunrise. but less conspicuously. Some times. at sunset, just as the last DOT tion of the suns disk vanishes, it's color changes from green to blue; and so also after 1t has disappeared the sky near the horizon is green, while toward the zenith 1t Is blue.
 The fact was of course observed by the ancient Egyptians, and references thereto are found In their sacred writings. Day was the symbol of life, and night that of death. The set. ting sun. being identified with Osiris

that god became king of the dead. The setting sun was green; therefore Osiris, as the nocturnal deity of the dead, was painted green.
 The splendid collins of the high priests of Ammon frequently depict the green sun, and the funeral deities are all colored green. This associa- tion of death" with green" was un- doubtedly due to the green tints Of the Egyptian sun at sunset-Youth's Companion.
