Instead of waiting till later in season and buying berries and fruits in large quantities try this plan. Each time strawberries are purchased for table buy an extra pint or quart and make a glass or pint jar of jam. It can be made while waehieg the dishes or doing any work in the kitchen and tekes no extra time. It is quickly made, can be cooled, sealed and set away four eggs until thick and lemon col- ored, and add gradually while beat- ing constantly one-fourth eup of sugar . Combine the mixture and -cut and fold in the whites of four eggs beaten until stiff and dry. This is a perfectly practical and satisfactory plan and can be ap- plied to all fruits. VALUABLE HINTS.

IV nderful aS have beeu the (nes of the vast soda depdsit a Luke Magedi in East Africa, says Ourreet Literature, the tendency hitherto has ar s been to deem the sts • feutaetic. Now, however. the "story has been cleared lip by the report of an expeditiou wbieh pene- crated quite to the interior ef Britain's remote possession—as far, iudeed, as 15 miles from the iron ier of German East Africa. The aseertaiued faets according to the Chemical News, are more surpris- ing than were the first reports. What, in the ease of an ordinary Jake, wuuld be water consists at Magadi of a solid deposit of soda, with a hard surface lookieg like pink marble. During the wet sea- son—which in this region is very short—the surface! is covered with a few inches of water. Immediate- ly after the cessation of the rains the whole surface becomes dry with the exCeption of a lime& about 30 yards wide. Even during the wet season the amount of water on the surface in no way renders impracticable the working of the deposit. For many years "Indians" from Nairobi, who use this soda for washing purposes and as snuff, have been removing it from the lake without regard to the season. URGE USE OF GASOLINE. French Automobile Club Tlineuld Have Farmers Savedetoney. The. use of gasoline motors for farm work is being promoted by the French Automobile Club, a specie,' committee of which holde meetings et intervals of several years, and bestows prizes for the power plants of cultivators, six- teen awards of cash or medals hav- ing been recently. made. Original applications or develop- ments by tht farmer himself are specially encouraged. The winner of the first prize, M. Yvonnet Thov- areck, made use of a 1 1-2 horse- power motor for driving nine pieces of farm -apparatus, includ- ing straw cutter, root cutter, grind- stone,circular saw, well Pump and a variety of dairy machines. The various devices are belted to die.: ferent counter shafts all in one ' This use. of power has added Much to the effi,cieney of the farm, and is estimated by the owner to save him -$600 a year. Another prize taker, M. Trilobata has made use of a second-hand tricycle mo- tor for drivinga thrasher and oth- er machines. • .1. MEDICAL HANGMEN.

Nowadays Hayti is ehiefee known as the land of generals.

CELEBRATING THE EVENT; There are many civilian generals las well. Country squires are. usu- ally generals, As -every respec- table I-faytian has a passion for froek-coats and silk hats, perspieing generals are often to be seen work- ing in the fields frock -coated under a burning tropieal sun. Hayti has a navy composed of six third-class cruisers, but even Hay- ti does not take that navy very seriously. When foreign vessels put into Haytian ports they are plagued by Haytian tars trying to sell far a few pence brasswork and engine -room fittings! Hayti is eteadily slipping back in- to barbarism. iSome years ago the Municipality of Port de 'Paix showed sufficient enterprise to construct waterworks. The town was well piped, and hydrates were placed at short, intervals all along the streets. Decorative fountain e and drinking -troughs were put at every corner. The natives were delight- ed. For a week they gave them- selves up to fetes balls, and pro- cessions, to celebrate -the great event,: But at the end of the week they 'went and tore up the whole system. Now they tie hor,ses to the hydrants and pick their way in the main Streets among fragments of pipes, and are happy. It would seem they haven't much use fee fresh water. „WITH ITS GRIM SIDE, There is a grim side to Hayti's re- lapse into savagery. Voodooism is getting a ereaterhold than ever it ;ace Voodooism is simply a sacred form Of caneibalism, practised by high ants? low. At intervals these frock-ceated generals retire to the depths of the jungle arid worship the sna,ke-god, sacrificing and eat- ing children in its honor. All re- spectable inhabitants of Hayti hot- ly deny that this is so, but travel- lers have 'seen. At least two of Hayti's recent presidents were known Voodoo -worshippers. - Hayti is a beautiful land. It has a glee:jolts cliaiate, some of the love- liest motintain and fotest sce:.iery in the world, and the most fertile of soils. ' The Bavtian is a lazy, good-humored child.

Case of Maria Joneseo, Who Is Hale and Active at 115. There is living in Kishineff, Rus- sia, a hale and active old lady, Maria Joneseo, who has just cele- brated her 115th birthday. She was born in the Bessarabian Village of Strashen in 1796. She is a child- less widow. Her, sight and hearing are still nearly perfect, she is cem- paratively active on her feet,, her silvery hair is abundant, she has lost only four teeth and has never in her life made the professioal acquaintanee of a doctor. Maria Ioneseo, who still con- serves a naturally sunny dispos- ition and a happy temperament, attributes the lengthy tale of her, years to a black bread diet. She has never eaten white wheaten bread since her early girlhood, and the rye bread she has always con- sumed has been known in Russia as soldatski khIyeb, or soldiers' bread, which is the blackest and heaviest and purest of whole rye foodstuffs. tr.!
