F GLUCOSE Is IN JELLY
Method by Which 1t Is Detected Is
Simple and of Exceedingly Easy
Application.

Glucose in fruit preserves may be
discovered by the following method
given by the Popular Science Monthly:
In the case of jelly Il teaspoonful
should be dissolved in two tablespoon
fulS of alcohol cantained in a glass
vessel. In the case Of jam or MARINA
lade the same process is carried out,
but 1t is necessary to filter off the solid
matter by running the mixture through
Il piece of muslin. Allow the solution
to become perfectly cool and then add
an equal volume, or IL little more, Of
strong alcohol.
If glucose is present a dense white
precipitate slowly settles down. Where
no glucose has been employed there is
no precipitate, save, in some cases, Il
very tritling sediment of pr0teid mat
ter which, however, is so small that
it could not possibly be mistaken for
the sediment which glucose produces.
The last named is not particularly
harmful in itself, but it is very fire.

Aeson on Russia.

About $500 years ago Il slave named

wrote, or perhaps dictated, our edi-
tOrial for this week on Russia.
At least he is reputed to have done
so.
1t is as follows:

This year there is a strong Egyptian
element in household furnishings. 1t

go here and there and combine such
elements as we like from various his

Communal COOKING Is Urqed,

How long shall we have to wait be-
fore communal cooking becomes COM
mon in every class of society? the Lon
don Chronicle asks. The need of some
system of catering on these lines con-
stitutes the felt want Of the moment.
In residential neighbOrbOods in every
town, in every village throughout the
length and breadth of the land there
Is an opening for supply kitchens
worked on really practical business
lines, where well cooked food of the
plain and wholesome variety could be
bought at reasonable prices-all ready
to serve or merely requiring to be
heated up.
Not only would such a system ma
terially help to solve the servant diff
Guilty, but it would insure an enormous
saving in coal, in labor, in time and
money-to say nothing Of lessenfng the
waste of food that is so fragrant a
scandal in hundreds of homes today,
while at the same time it would set
free numbers of woman war workers.

During my visit, the evening twi.
light had scarcely disappeared before
the morning twilight chased the gloom
Of night away. One could read out
Of doors until after eleven o'clock.
These long days, with scarcely any
night, force vegetation to grow at a
dollhouse pace. Land and water have
no time to cool. Summer comes in
this strange land with a sudden burst
Of flowers, sunlight and birds. .
Finland Is a land Of pine and fir
clad hills, for only a comparatively
small portion seems to be cleared.
The most of the country Is fairly level,
so that it has not the grandeur of the
Scandinavian kingdom. In the cleared
portions stand neat little wooden cot
tages, which r usually kept freshly
painted, red being the favorite color.
Surface drain bitches are made in the
cultivated fields every few rods, and
all seems most carefully TILED.
H~elsingfOrs, the capital of Finland,
Is one of the interesting towns Of
Europe. Water seems to surround It
on every side. 1t dates back to 1850,
when 1t was founded by the Swedish
king Gustavus Vasa, and the liberJies
of a town were Immediately conferred
upon the little hamlet as a special ia.

tected by the great fortress of Svea-

highest point in Helsingfors is crown
ed by a great and imposing Lutheran
church, and the majority of the Films
are adherents of this faith.
Scenes In H~eIsinefors.
Through the center Of H~elsingfors
runs a great boulevard, known as the
Esplanade-Gatan, and this is the center
Of life in summer. The schools close
for these months and everybody en-.
joys m long holiday so far as pos
sible. One day seems almost to melt
into another. The young one
sees in HelSingfors are of the blue

iSh type seems to prevail here. Young
girls, almost to the end of their teens,
wear their hair in two flaXen braids
that hang down the back. They have
the same social freedom as their SIS
tiers on this side of the Atlantic.
The market of HelSingfors Is an ex.
cellent place to study the Films and
their characteristics. From all over
the surrounding country the peasants
drive into the towns with their pro-
duce, and sell it direct to the townfolk.
A small farmer may have killed a
sheep or pig, and may be observed
driving a keen bargain for the best
cuts. Another has a few tiny kegs Of
butter covered with a layer of grass to
keep it cool. Under old cotton umbrel-
las sit the market women with highly
colored waists and black or white
handkerChiefs tied owe their heads.
In a small basin are the boats of the
fishermen just in from their catch.
The housewives or maids pass from
one stall or boat to another, inspecting
their wares. A little after noon the
fishermen and market merchants, who
have come by sea, set sail, the cotton
umbrellas come down, the wagons roll
away, and the entire market disap-
pears as by magic.

titled that he saw the latter running
across the avenue and that he applied
the brakes and reversed the car, but
the fender had caught the victim and
dragged him cars length before the

of the car did not pass over him, but
it was necessary for the wrecking
