NEW FRONTIERS VERY REAL
Nothing of an imaginary Linc' About the Borders of the New
 European States.

Frontiers used to be imaginary lines or marks on a map. The miles and miles of new frontiers in Europe are not imaginary" and not confined to maps. You can walk right up and touch them.
 Cut there in central and eastern Flu rope, frontiers are fine-tooth combs that delay trains for hours at every crossing point. Some of the new from tiers are flying walls" of soldiers with fixed bayonets. Others are guarded fences.
 Travellers without exceptional ere dentlals go through searching exam nations, often bodily "friskings."
 Soldiers armed to the teeth guard the trains and passengers during ex- amlnationS and customs inspections. to see that nobody gets out or in with out the official papers.
 Roads at frontier points are also guarded by soldiers who preside over striped gates that go up and down like the crossing gates of American rail- ways.
 Passports and vises In the new coun- tries are made as difficult as possible Business men are held up weeks, as n rule. The official idea seems to be to keep every body that's in the country in, and to bar everybody else out.

WOMEN EXERT QUEER POWEh
Sisters Dwelling on Mysterious Mount in Burma Undoubtedly Able
 to Charm Reptiles.

In the fastnesses of Mount Popa, a mysterious sacred mount in Burma. live two sisters who have achieved Il wide reputation for their uncunny pow CTS in charming deadly snakes. Ma Hpwa and her sister are the only living opponents of an art which has been handed down from generation to gen cration within the circle of their family. Their secret is most rigidly preserved, and at their death will he passed on to their neNt-of-kin. as it was handed on to them by their parents.
 In q great number of cases so-called snakc-charmers sw!ndle the public by extracting the poison fangS of their pets, thereby rendering themselves safe however, to the genuine nature of the performance of Ma Hpwa and her fam fly, in the death of sister who diSre. ,sartcd the strict traditions of the arr. gurded the strict traditions of the art.
 King cobras are the snakes these re- markablc women use. During the per formance of charming the snakes an ordinary Burmese band Is used. while the charmers squat on their launches in front of fhe snake. They then begin to sway in rhythm to the music. giving sharp leaps each time the reptile strikes.

CONDIMENTS OF MUCH VALUE
Spices Used in Flavoring Not General Iy Given Credit for Their Good
 Qualities.

Some of the spices that are often employed in flavoring preserves. both of fruits and meats, have Il value that Is more important than the mere tick ling of the palate. An investigation recently made in France shows that vinegar is not only an excellent pre- servative but n powerful means of kill ing bacteria.
 Ginger. black, white and red pepper have little bactericidal effect, but the action of mustard is most marked However. the best of all are cloves and cinnamon. which act through their es- sentlal oils (called eugenol and cinna- mic aldehyle.
 La Nature remarks that these re- searches are highly important, for they show that, eveI, in the small quantities in which they are used these spices may he employed in preserving far bet ter than chemical antiseptics. such as boric and salicylic acids. which are often added, though the French law prohibits their use.
