the prince, bound him and sent him
back to his own kingdom.
The princess grief was pitiful. In
midsummer she died. The body was
embalmed with the finest spices and
was laid in the curious coffin of wood
and stucco, painted with hieroglyphics
and pictures that you can still see
upon it. Then it was laid away in the
royal sepulcher.
The prince was killed in a battle
with those who kept him from the
princess, and his body, too, was EN-.

MUMMY AT LIBRARY

Groh Can Now See the Beau

Centuries Ago.
SAYS SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL
BY A. r. GROH.

/ like to go over to the museum IN
the public library building and look
at the mummies. One Of them par
ticularly interests me. 1t is that OF
a woman, dainty. little woman.
Her spirit took its fight from that
body 5000 years ago. When Rome
was founded her body had already
lain, wrapped in its linen swathings,
fcr more than three centuries. While
Christ was OH earth, while Alexan-
der, Caesar, Charlemagpe, Napoleon
had their careers, when Magma Charta
was signed, when America was dis
covered her body lay just as it lies
today.
She was a beautiful woman. OF

mummy and the outlines Of the face

OF Surprising Beauty.
She was laughing, happy girl, this
girl whose soul once inhabited that
mummy in our museum. She learned
to dance and to sing. And as she
grew TO young womanhood she
bloomed into surprising beauty, a
black-eyed, black-haired maiden.
She was robed in the richest cloth
ing and wore a jeweled necklace.
She loved the splendid feasts at her
fathers palace, where there were also
skilled musicians and jugglers and
wonderful dancers.
Ii was at one OF these feasts that
she met young prince, handsome,
dashing young fellow and warrior,
distinguished in spite OF his youth. II
seemed they we're intended for each
other from the first. She had eyes for
none but him and he was charmed
and fascinated by the beauty of this
slim, young princess.
But, alas, her father had other
plans. He commanded her to marry
another, by which match he hoped to
strengthen his power. The lovers
managed to meet in secret in the pal
ace gardens. There, in the soft Egyp'
tian moonlight, the prince pressed tc
his breast that beautiful form which
is now only a mummy and kissed
those warm lips which have been dust
for thirty centuries,
Happy Pair Separated.

returned to the trays and dried furth-
er. When in condition the products
may be packed permanently in tight
paper bags, insect-proof paper boxes
or cartons, or glass or tin containers.
The following receipts are given:
Spinach and parsley: Spinach that
is in prime condition for green's should
be prepared by careful washing and
removing the leaves from the roots.
Spread the leaves on trays to dry
thoroughly. They will dry much more
promptly if sliced or chopped.
Beets: Select young, quickly grown,
tender beets, which should be wash
ed. peeled, sliced about an eighth of
ar inch thick. and dried.
Turnips should be treated in the
same way as beets.
Carrots should be we'll grown, but
varieties having a large woody core
should be avoided. Wash, peel, and
slice crosswise into pieces about an
eighth Of an inch thick.
Parsnips should be treated in the
same way as carrots.
Onions: Remove the outside papery
covering; u off tops and roots; slice
into one-eighth-inch pieces and dry.
Cabbage: Select well developed
heads of cabbage and remove all loose
outside leaves, Split the cabbage, re-
move the hard, woody core, and slice
the remainder Of the head with a kraut
cutter or other hand slicing machine.
Beet tops: Tops of young beets in
suitable condition for green's should
be selected and washed carefully. Both
the leaf stalk and blade should be
cut into sections about one-fourth inch

Swiss chard and celery should be
prepared in the same way as beet
tops.
Rhubarb: Choose young and succu-
lent growth. Prepare as for stewing
by skinning the stalks and cutting into
pieces about one-fourth inch to one

pressed. Pack and condition"

HON e DRYING

Drying vegetables and fruits for
winte use if tin cans and glass jars
FOR canning are scarce or expensive.
This is the advice Of specialists OF
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, who recently have studied the
possibilities of conserving food to
meet war needs in spite of any diff
culties that may be experienced in OBJ
tanning canning containers. Drying
was a well-recognized and successful
way Of preserving certain foods before
canning came into general use, the
specialists point out, and modern meth
DDS make it still more practicable than
formerly, either in the home or by
community groups.
Three methods of drying have been
found by the department specialists to
give satisfactory results. These are
sun drying, drying by artificial heat,
and drying with air blasts, as before
an electric fan. Trays for drying by
any n OF these methods as well as
tray frames for use over stoves or be-
fore fans, can be made satisfactorily
at home. Frames and trays for use
with artificial heat may be purchased
complete if desired.
Homemade trays may be made of
side and end boards hree-fourths Of an
inch thick and , inches wide and
bottom boards of lathing spaced one
galvanized wire mesh may be tackled
TO the side and end boards to form the
bottoms of the trays. Frames for use
with artificial heat should be made of
nonin1ammable material to as great
an extent as possible. AS many as six
trays may be placed one above the
other when artificial heat is used. In
drying before a fan the number Of
trays that may be placed n above
the other will depend, to a large ex-
tent, upon the diameter Of he fan.
In drying in the sun trays as describ-
ed may be used or the products to be
dried may be spread on sheets of pa
per or muslin held in place by weights.
Vegetables and fruits will dry better
if sliced. They should be cut into
slices one-eighth to one-fourth of an
inch thick; if thicker, they may not
dry thoroughly. While drying, the
products should be turned or stirred
from time to time. Dried products
should be packed temporarily for 3
or 4 days and poured each day from
one box to another to bring o
thorough mixing and so that the whole
mass will have a uniform degree OF
moisture. If during this condition
ing" any pieces Of the products are
found to be too moist, they should be
