Dried fruits are not merely prunes.
Apriccts. pears. cherries. peaches,

Dates for Cereal.
Place dates in a saucepan and

cook. When they r separated lift
out from the pan do not pour the
water off and place in a shallow
saucepan in a warm oven. Leave
for a few moments-just long

in half. remove pit and add 20 my
cooked or raw cereal. Or the dates
may be served with thin cream. IN

They weren't hens eggs. Oh not
Each egg was az big as the end of a
pencil with a dark spot in the centre.
Instead OF shells they were covered
with jelly almost the same color as

buckeyes. who else would lay
eggs in the water?"
But where are the shells7" Mi
wanted 10 know.
Shells melt fin the water and turn
into Jelly. Everybody knows that.
That only makes them better. for
you can make jelly-omelets out or
them without using any jelly"
This certainly seemed a great ad-
vantage. Then. too. the fact that
they had no shells made IL quite in-
possible for them 20 break. which was
a good thing In eggs. Still they were
not 50 sure about their being duck
eggs. Somehow II seemed TO them
that buckeyes weren't laid IN water.
And now YOU must help me To

TO their promise.
VINO could they sell them TOT
They didn't know. especially as they
couldn't get them out or the water

teristics. But this IS not true Of
Malta.
The chief city OF Malta Is valetta.
This city has a marvellous harbor-
almost two harbors. The city of
Valetta Is built on a spit OF rock ex-
tending out into the water and this
provides a harbor on either side Of
the city.
Valetta Is a pretty sight as ones
steamer slowly enters the bay. All
around the waters edge are the for
tifications. some old and some Of
more recent construction. All sorts
OF craft viii be found anchored in
the harbor, while around them dart
the smaller harbor boats. including
flocks of sharp-nosed rowboats, with
stubby. mast-like affairs mt both the
bow and the stern, making them
look for all the world like the gon-
dolas OF Venice.
The main street OF valetta runs
along the top Of this rocky spot on
which the city is built. Most OF the
buildings facing on this street date
back to the days Of the Knights. but
many OF them have been remodeled
10 meet the needs OF commerce. II
IL in the balconies around the win
dows OF the upper floors OF the
buildings that one recognizes the
construction OF many years ago.
The Maltese people are a hand
some. well-proportioned race. Their
complexion IL considerably lighter
than hat OF their neighbcrs in south
r Italy. Throughout the years
they have spoken their own Ian
guage. a Phoenician Maltese, which
Is very different from Italian. How
ever. English il being spoken by an
increasingly large proportion OF the
population. They are an Industrious
| people. but the island has little CON-
merce. Its chief support In from
the visiting vessels which dot its
harbor.
