WASHING A COMFORTER.
Examine the comforter, and if there
are any soiled spots soap them and
scrub with a small brush. Then hang
the comforter on a strong line and
turn the hose on it. When one side
is washed turn it over and wash the
other. Squeeze the corners and ends

its way through the cotton and cover-

"Dipping" for Dinners.
Buenos Ayres probably possesses
the most. curious restaurant in the
world. It lies in Pasco de Jullo, a
street frequented by sailors and dock-
yard workers.
The whole establishment consists of
a great pot, about one yard in diamet-
er, and an equally large fork. Ouly
.one "dish," called "puchero," is° offered
to customers. It is simply prepared.
The proprietor 011e the pot with water,
lets a few chunks of meat and bones
drop to the bottom, then 'adds some
coloring material, partly to give 'a
touch of mystery to the whole; partly
to make the meat in •the bottom invis-
ible.
A fire is now lit under the pot. When
the mixture boils a card. is displayed,
stating that "lunch, dinner, or supper
is now ready." •
Each customer pays five" cents and ;'
is handed the huge fork, which he dips
into the boiling water. If hp is lucky
he harpoons. a piece of meat, which he
is entitled to fi h out and devour.

Montreal's standing on the 'basis ,of

Dearest Fruit in the World.
The most costly fruit in the world 1s
the ethrog, or sacred Jew's citron, It
grows in Palestine and .in the Greet[
islands in the Mediterranean. Per
centuries it has prayed an important
part iu Jewish religious ceremonies.
A perfect specimen of this rare fruit
will fetch as much as. twenty -live dol
lara.
The othrog Is similar to a lemon in
appearance, but larger. It lei extreme-
ly aromatic, and one will perfume a
whole. room. The rind is thick and
hard, the pip bitter and t'ery seedy.
The principal characteristic of this
extraordinary fruit, However, is a pro-
tulierance on the blossom end, having
the appearance sof a pestle in a mor-
tar, ,and. known as the pitma or pitam. •
