the dizziness to suggest minuteness,

Why PURPLE Signifies ROYALTY

Carthage and Sidon owed much Of its prestige to
the purple dye and the cloth colored by it. Ac-
cordng to Charles f., Pellew, the Latin records
show that no other dye has ever brought so high
price commercially. AS the supply diminished
the price rose until linen costing $50 per pound
sold for 1852 per pound after dyeing Assuming
that per cent of purple on the weight OF the
goods was required to give full shade, say on
silk, the dye runs into the thousands of dollars
per pound.
From records and enormous piles of shells
the ancient cities of the Mediterranean the
source of Tyrian purple has been found to be
whitish thick liquid found in small vein Of GER
tain snail-like shell fish. Only few drops may
be recovered from each fish and 10000 were re.
quired for a quantity of liquid sufficient for &C.
curate analysis of the active principle AS the
demand increased the number of fish rapidly de-
creased as their growth is not rapid.
Finally the art lost and for 200 years
not revived. In 1856 the purple fish" was redis-
covered when it found that an Irish woman

to brownsh red through indigo blue. purple and
violet These shades varied that ara
led to suppose that in time any unusually fine dye
termed purple meaning quality rather than
q DEFINITE color. Thus the use OF crimson robes
by the Catholic clergy of today has down
remnant of the practice at the time when
the church insisted that its representatives should
have the prerogatives state rulers and
princes.
With such traditions and history it Is not
strange that a dye chemist should dream of pro.
ducng alphabetically the dye which accounted for
much. The shell fish identified, $4,000
collected from the old beds where they had again
become numerous, and careful analysis made
of the colorng principle in the liquid. 1t had
been assumed that it would be in some form Of
indigo, both from the color and the way it is de-
veloped fbers, but that it should be bromine

time bromine had been found to be a component
of an animal. Chemically speaking, Tyrian i'm

vegetables with very strong favors, such as cab

Cook summer vegetables after they
are gathered as possible, in order to preserve
their flavor If they must be kept over, keep
them in the icebox some other cool place.
Let wilted vegetables soak in cold water to
freshen them. If vegetables must stand after

very carefully.

"Most vegetables are better when cooked in
