it's troop of camels and donkeys TO
lend atmosphere to the scenes, Bever-
ly, tropical small boy of ten, hast

the beasts, hoping thereby to get
seat among the gallery gods for his
labors.
The next afternoon Beverly was
seen sitting enthroned among party
of his companions, all evidently listen
ing eagerly to the tales of his last
nights experience.
We'll, Beverly hailed passing
acquaintance, "did you get into the

No." replied Beverly. But he

rades gazed eagerly upon him, "A
donkey kicked me and a camel tried

Currants With Raisins.

The combining of raisins and cur
rants in a sweet conserve is very
old-fashioned idea that was popular
with our grandmothers. The follow
ing way of preparing this sweet comes
from a Duchess county household,
where it has been in use for severai
generations: Have ready seven
pounds each of currants and OF sugar,
one pound of seeded raisins and three
pints of currant juice. This juice
should be squeezed from another bowl
full of currants Add the sugar to 1t
and boil the mixture three minutes.
Then stir the fruit into it and cook
the whole ten minutes. The large
cherry ,currant," which does not con-
tain maSy seeds, is best for this pre-
serve. Look the fruit over very care
fully, as imperfect currants or ralsins
will ruin the conserve.

TO DRY FRUIT IN SUN
BEST PLAN WIEN EVAPORATION
CAN NOT BE EMPLOYED.
Reversible Wire Bottom Trays VIII
Assure Satisfaction, and May
Easily Be Made by the Men
of the House.

The evaporation is best for number
of reasons, but where one must dry by
the sun there is yet a muck better
way than spreading out on the house
roof or a scaffold of boards.
Loss and labor may be saved by
having wire bottom trays two feet
wide and two or three feet long. These
trays should be made reversible, which
may be done by having the sides OF
two pieces of inch and quarter lum-
Der nailed together with the wire bot
tom between them. This secures the
bottom and makes a tray an inch and
a quarter deep either way 1t is turned.
Four Of these trays will hold as
much as an ordinary family would
want TO put out at one time, and more
can be had as needed.
The wire cloth for the bottom should
be galvanized and what is known
as No. or No. mesh: that is, there
are two or three wires to the inch
which is close enough to hold fruit.
The scaffold is made by setting four
posts high enough to be out Of danger
from the poultry. Strips Of / by are
nailed from one post to the other as
high as wanted for the trays to rest
On.
The end posts should be set two feet
or a little more apart, which Will be
the proper width of the scaffold, put
ting the other pair of posts as far from
these as length Of the scaffold is want
ed to be.
When the trays are placed on these
supports the air passes up through the
fruit, drying it much quicker and more
uniformly.
The greatest convenience in having
the trays is when q shower threatens
or to protect the half dried fruit from
the night dew.
The trays may be quickly taken TO
shelter without disturbing the fruit
If there should be several days OF
rainy weather the trays should be
stacked one on top of the other in the
nouse; the air passing between the
trays keep the fruit from souring till
again placed out Of doors.

Novelist Instructed Scripture.

Novelists do not seem to be very
strong in their knowledge of the
scriptures somehow, and Sir Walter
Scott in The Heart of Midlothian"
attempts TO point moral with the
words Our simple and unpretend-
ing heroine had the merit Of those
peacemakers to whom it is promised
as benediction that they 81 all in

the peacemakers did not receive any
such promise, but it is said that the
meek shall inherit the earth"

A cooling dessert is Lala Rookh,
which is nothing more than sher-

scooped from the center, which is
filled just before serving with creme

Pineapple or orange ice is especially
good with this combination.

ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with a
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts Of the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad

and If scratched they would bleed and
