est pickles. Reject all that are net
perfect. Pack in a stone jar, laying
salt by the handful between the lay -
ors. Cover the top layer out of
sight with salt. Then fill the jar
with cold water and cover with a
small saucer or plate of the right
size to fit 'within the mouth of the
ja,r, and lay a clean stone upon the
plate. This is to keep the cucum-
bers under the brine. Leave them
• there for a fortnight at least. A
tiomonth would not rurt them. Every
ther day stir uP the brine from the
bottom. It should be strong enough
to float a fresh egg if dropped into
it.
You may add ,fresh cucumbers
from the garden every day, if more
convenient than to put up all at
once, When you are ready to put
them through the last processes,
throw away the brine and examine
the eucumbens carefully. If you find
ene that is pecked or soft, do not
let it go into the pickle. Lay those
seleoted in cold fresh water and
leave them there for twenty-four
holm!. Drain off the water, fill the
jar with fresh water, and leave for
another day and night.
Now Hue a preserving kettle with
vine leaves (green and clean) and
pack in the cucumbers, scattering a
teaspoonful of powdered alum over
each layer. Cover with three thick-
nesses of vine leaves and pour in
eold water enough to cover all.
Cover the whole with a close lid and
simmer over a slow fire for four
lours, not letting it boil once in all
that time, but keeping the contents
.scalding hot. •
By now, the cucumbers should be
of a fine green and tender, but not
'broken.
Take from the kettle and drop im-
•reediately into iced water. Let them
stay in this while you prepare the
vinegar for pickling them. To each
quart add an even cupful of sugar,
a dozen whole black peppers, and
half as many whole cloves with half
a dozen blades of mace. Boil all to-
gether for five minutes, covered, to
keep in the strength. Drain the
water from the cucumbers, pack in-
to a stout stone jar, and Pour the
'scalding spiced vinegar over them.
Two da.ys later drain off the vine -
without disturbing the cucum-
bers and just bring to a bubbling
boil. Pour it scalding hot over the
-cucumbers, and fit on the cover. Re-
peat the scalding three times with-
in the fortnight, allowing several
-days between the processes. Then
cover with a close lid and tie waxed
paper or cloth over the lid. They
will be ripe in two months and keep
good f6r years.
Gherkins and "mixed pickles"

When laying baby in his cradle or

side, not on his back. Quite small
babies-espetially if bottled -fed -
are often troubled with flatulence,
and this cameos them to throw up
their food.

The ordinary way to break an
egg is to hit it against another egg
or over the edge of the mixing bowl
and let the contents stream over
the side of the shell without consid-
ering whether the latter is clean or
not. Even if there is no visible dirt,
the shell may not be as clean as it
seems, for it may have come from
a dirty nest er have been untidily
handled. Eggs should therefore al-
ways be washed before breaking.
A Good Yellow Soap. -Take three
pounds of sal eoda, ditto lard, and
ene and a half pounds of stone
lime. Dissolve the soda and lime
by boiling in two gallon,s of water.
Stir this well, and when settled
pour off the water, then return the
liquid to the kettle (which should
be brass or eopper), add the lard,
and boil all together till it becomes
soap; then our into a deep dish
or mould. When cold cut into bars
and dry.
To Keep Away Rats -Prepare a
strong solution of chloride of lime
and water and pour it slowly down
and about the holes surrounding
drain pipes and water pipes and in-
to the pipes themselves. Then
sprinkle thickly with dry chloride of
lime. It will adhere to the wet sur-
face and the rats will net run over
it. They will not tread upon the
powder at any time. Likewise scat-

and barn floors, and about the holes
by which they must enter the house

Alfonso, King of Spain, is fond of
springing surprises en his friends,
and even on the public. There is
still a great deal of the boy in
Spain's ruler.
During his recent visit to the Isle
of Wight, England, the King joined
the holiday makers and entered
with a zest into their amusements.
There was no prouder man among
the throng than the King when he
walked off with a cocoanut, the
prize for' successful throwing at
'Aunt Sally."
King Alfonso sprang one of his

of the Monature Shooting Club at

r SIR GEORGE ASKWITH.
Well Qualified for His Industrial
Mission to Canada.
The Government having decided
to draft a compulsory arbitration
ect to deal with the ever recurring
labor disputes, all possible facts
bearing on the relation of the State
to revolting labor are now being
collected, writes a London, Eng-
land, correspondent. '
Beyond a doubt Sir George -Ask -
with, the chief industrial commis-
sioner, will glean a rich harvest -of
helpful pointers in Canada, where,
at the Government's request, he is
to study the working of the Indus-
trial, Disputes Act, and his commis-
sion of inquiry will probably be ex-
tended to the United States as well.
No man better fitted for such
mission could be ohosen than the
Board of Trade's tectful intermedi-
ary between capital and labor. His
work here in London at the Indus-
trial Council and in other parts of
the country has been particularly
arduous this last year or two, and
the rest his journey of investigation
will afford is a much needed pick-
me-up. He will resume his duties
in London again in October, about
the time Parliament re-asserables
for its next session.
Mose observers of the industrial
situation, however, do not feel par-
ticularly sanguine of the prospects
of any compulsory arbitration bill,
arguing in the terms of the homely
phrase that you can take a horse
to the water but you ean't make
him. drink. Furthermore, the La-
bor party are hostile to such a
measure, fearing lest teems might
be thrust on working-class dispu-
tants, fer less favorable than those
which might be attained, by a, more
stubborn use of the strike weapon.
At least, that is the feeling of the
unconapromising socialistic element
in the Labor party, though its more
roaderate oonstituenti look hope-
fully to amelioration by Act of Par-
liament. The only possible way of
reeking a 'compulsory Arbitration
bill acceptable to the La,bor party
is said to be the insertion of a
clause giving the minimum wage. to
all workerp.
The industrial unrest is not likely
to subside during Sir George Ask-
with's absence from Egland.
Much bitternees and ill -feeling exist
among the rank and 'file of the
transport workers in London over
the reeent 'strike, which brought
them little benefit. This dispute
with the Post of London authority
raised the whole problem of un-
skilled and casual labor, always a
menacing faktor to industrial geace.'
It is hoped thae Sir George Ask-
with's visit, to -Canada, and America
will be the means of" aiming him
with wise and effective suggestions
towards 'securing better 'all-round
relationships between masters and
men.

FOR BETTER ROADWAYS.
Different Road Metals Criticised
by Experts.
At the last !fleeting of the Asso-
ciation of American Portland Ce-
ment Manufacturers, recently held
in Chicago, a number of papers
were read by leading highway en-
gineers throughout the United
States, including Logan Waller
Page, Director of Public Roads, De-
partraent of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D.O.; Edward N. Hines, Road
Commissioner, Wayne Co., Mich.;
which county has probably built
more concrete roads than any other
in the world; S. McCullough, City
Engineer, Fond du Lac, Wiscon-
sin, and others.
After making various comparisons
betiveen different road metals Mr.
Page concluded his remarks as fol-
lows :-"From the comparisons
made above between Portland ce-
ment concrete and plain macadam
or biturdinous macaclaan, it is evi-
dent that we may be practically as-
sured that the Portland Cement
concrete road is far better able to
meet that changipg traffic condi-
tions than either of the other sur-
faces. From our knowledge of
Portland cement concrete, we can
design a read surface of this m.a-
terial to meet practically any re-
quirements."
The following is extracted from
Mr. Hines' talk: "Any community
that wants a good road, a read that
is cheaper even for a short time,
under fairly heavy traffic, than any
other .goecl road, a road that is in-
expensively inaintained, a road
that is sanitary and dustless, a road
that is not slippery, a road that af-
fords geed traction for any type of
vehicle 365 days in the year, a road
that in the long run, say 10, 15, 20
years and longer, is the cheapest
of all geed roads, sh-ould investi-
gate the merits of c.oncrete."
Mr. McCullough in the ceunse of
his remarks said, "I am satisfied
that Fond du Lac with her 8%
miles of cement pavement, averag-
ing less than $1.25 per square yard,
will get good value for every dollar
expended. If in the course of 10
years it becomes necessary, I see.
nothing to interfere with' our put-
ting a bituminous wearing surface
on these streets. As compared with
the asphalt or any of the pavements
costing over two (loll= a yard, we
can apply the argument put forth'
by former officials of Milwaukee,
with referenee to their biturnieous
madam pavement; that is that the
difference in cost between the $1.-
25 pavement and the one costing
$2.25 or over, invested at 5 per
cent. will provide a fund large
enough to maintain these pave-
ments indefinitely,"

In. 1614 -the year before Water-

the greet Duke of Wellington had
been refused admittance to Al-

sented himself wearing trousers in-
stead of the conventional breeches
which the dress regulations the in
vogue deraanded.
As a matter of historical faot
trousers have been worn by various
reces and by both sexes in all the
ages of which any authentic record
exists. Generally speaking, trou-
sers were regarded in ancient times
as symbolical of inferiority or
effeminacy. In the triumphal pro-
cessions of the Oaeears, for exam-
ple, prisoners of war were. them as
a sign of defeat while the stnrcly
legs of Rome's victorious legions
were bare below the bottom of the
skirted or kilted coat of mail.

widely recognized as the garments

the American Tailor and Cutter.

Many attempts have been made to

many times has their superiority
been challenged. But so far their
position remains secure.. ,
METHODS OF KILLING FLIES.
A. Little Carbolic Acid on a Heated
Shovel and Odor Will Kill.
The summer season makes it im-
portant to know something about
the newest methods of getting rid
of flies. To .clear a room of flies,
earbolie acid may be used in this
way: H -eat a shovel or any simi-
lar article end drop thereon twenty
drops of carbolic acid. The vapor
circulating through the room will
kill the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, one which is not dangerous
to, human life is bichromate of pot-
ash in solution. Dissolve one
dram, which can 4be bought at any
drug store, in two .ounces of water,
and add a little auger. Put som,e of
this solution in shallow dishes and
distribute them about the house.
Sticky fly -paper ancl liquid poi-
sons are among the things of use in
killing flies, but the latest, cheap-
est, and best is a solution of forma-
lin of formaldehyde in water. A
spoonful of this liquid put into a
quarter of a pint of water and ex-
posed in the room will be enough -to
kill all the flies.
To quickly elear the room where
there are many flies, burn pyre-
thrum powder an the room. This
stupefies the flies, when they may
be swept up and burned. Pyre-
thrum powder is harmless and is
made by grinding the dried flowers
of a plant. Moisten the pewder a
bit, press it into a little cone, and
light the top witha. match.
MIKADO WILL BE A' GOD.
Robert Koch Was Given that Dis-
tinction by Japaneee.
The late Mikado will no doubt be
'made a god, in accordance with the
castaras of the Japanese religion,
which is based on ancestor worship.
It would, however, be a mista,ke
to suppose that only Milracks 'reach
that exalted state.
Robert Koch, for instance, the
late German bacteriologist, is a god
too. Visitors to Tokio cen see his
temple in the gaeclens of the Im-
perial In,stitute for Infectious Dis-
eases -a pretty 'structure of wood,
with a portrait ,of the savant on the
outer wall, and a copper casket con-
taining a bunch of his hair fixed in
its stone foundations. Hair is re-
garded as the most unchangeable
part of a man's personality; hence
it is preserved in all ca,se-s when a
person is raised to the status of a,
god.
How greatly Koch was admired
by the Japanese, even in his life-
time, is shown by the following in-
cident;
While on his visit to Japan Koch
was shown in the most celebrated
temple of the. old capital, Nara, the
figure of Yakushi, the God of Medi -
eine, but when he wanted to know
more about its the. priest said:
"You need net trouble about, it;
this is but Yakusbi of the past from
India; you, however, are the, Ya -
'meld af the pLes44ent."
