"I want you to do me a favor,” said a citizen as he entered a crockery •tore the other morning with an anx ious look on his face. “Anything within reason, of course,” Was the reply. "It is rather a family affair,” said the first. “Oh, I can keep a secret.” "It Isn’t much of a secret, but the •trawberry season will soon begin.” "Yes, I know.” "You keep fruit jars, of course?” "Thousands, of course.” "My wife was telling me this morn ing that she proposed to do up at least three bushels of strawberries this summer, and she'll be around here to ask the price of fruit Jars. I want you to tell her that, owing to the war, they have gone up to |15 a dozen.” "Oh, my!” gasped the crockery man. "I have got a dealer to lie to her •bout the price of berries by the bushel, and a grocer to tell her that • sugar has gone up 400 per cent, and you only will do your part not a darned old strawberry will be laid •way for winter.”—Providence Jour nal.

"No, my dear,” replied Mrs. Jimpson, "that is Sereny chopping up that steak for hash for breakfast tomorrow.” "More power to her elbow!" sighed Jimpson. Tall Wild, at Least. A timid little girl stood looking out of the nursery window and called to her mother: "Mother, mother! Here is a wild dog." Her mother went to the window. "Oh, no, that dog is not wild; he be longs to the man who works across the street, and Is a nice dog," she said. After a moment’s thought the child, unaccustomed to dogs, replied: “Well, his head may not be wild, but his tail is awfully wild." — Woman’s Home Companion. Color Scheme.

Putnam, Commissioner of ' Lighthouses. | Although the pay Is small and the house service attracts as a rule an excellent class of faithful men, willing to take large risks In doing their duty and also in help ing those In distress. There are many cases of faithful service and bravery. There are a number of women light keepers. One of these, the keeper of Angel Island light In San Francisco bay, reported that after the machinery of the fog signal was disabled on July 2, 1906, she "had struck the bell by hand for 20 hour* and 35 minutes until the fog lifted," and that on July 4, when the machinery waa further disabled, she "stood all night on the platform outside and struck the bell with a nail hammer with all my might. The fog was dense." A widely known woman llghtkeeper was Ida Lewis, who died about three years ago. She lived at Lime Rock lighthouse, on a ledge In Newport harbor, for 57 years, her father having been appointed keeper when she was 12 years old. She was keeper of the light for 32 years. There are reports of her having rescued 13 per sons from drowning. On one occasion, It Is said, she saved three men who had swamped while attempting to pick up a sheep, and then she rescued the sheep also. Because of the difficult life, keepers at Isolated stations are granted shore liberty and leave 72 days a year, and crews of light vessels 90 days a year. The first lighthouse on this continent was built by Massachusetts, In 1715-1716, on an Island In the entrance to Boston harbor. The first class light and fog signal sta tions are located at the more prominent and dangerous points along the seaboard, and on a well lighted coast such stations ■hould be sufficiently close that a coasting vessel may always be In sight of a light. The smaller lights are placed to mark harbors, Inside channels and dangers. Along the navigable rivers numerous post lights are maintained to Indicate the chan nels. For New York harbor and Immediate approaches alone 268 aids to navigation are required, Including 46 shore lights, two light vessels and 36 lighted buoys; there are 192 buoys of all classes and 37 fog signals, Including sounding buoys. Among the lighthouses of the country may be found examples of great engi neering skill and dignified and simple de sign. Borne of the tall lighthouse struc tures are of beautiful architecture, suited to the purpose, and set off by picturesque location on headland or rock overlooking the sea. The tower must be built to give the light a suitable height above the water Vid hence tall lighthouses are required li lowlylng coasts. A light must be 200 feet above the sea level to be seen from the deck of a vessel *0 nautical miles distant. Beyond that dls FUNDAMENTALS OF CANNING. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Canned fruit Is canned fruit—and there you are. That is to say, if you are successful In canning one sort of fruit you can be successful in canning ether kinds of fruit, for the principle lnderlylng canned peaches is the same Is that underlying rhubarb conserve, and It Is a principle not difficult to Understand and observe. The whole principle of canning is to destroy the bacteria that cause decay. These are destroyed by heat. So it Is necessary to subject everything with which the fruit comes in contact to heat and It Is safer to heat the fruit, too. The Jars in which the fruit is packed should be put into cold water and brought to the boiling point. There they should remain, or just below the boiling point, for three-quarters of an hour. Then everything in the way of a bacteria will be destroyed. Covers and rubbers, too, of course, must be subjected to this heat. And everything that is used in the shape of knives or spoons must also be dipped in boiling water before it is brought into contact with the fruit. The cans and covers can be placed on a layer of straw, oa a rack that comes for the purpose or on boards In th.e bottom of a big boiler. They would, of course, break If they came into di rect contact with the bottom of the boiler or kettle in which they are heated. Fiume. Hungary’* Seaport. From the National Geographic Society. Austria-Hungary carries on Its business with the outside world through Its great ports, Trieste and Flume. The future of Its overseas commerce Is largely bound up with the development of these cities, for Trieste and Flume are the New York and Boston of Austria-Hungary; or better, they are the dual monarchy's Hamburg and Bremen, Flume Is the only outlet of the Hungarian kingdom to free water, and the Hungarians have spent millions of fiollars In their endeavor to make It a model port. The great Austrian port and the Hungarian port are keen rivals, and during the last few years Flume has grown somewhat at the cost of Us north ern neighbor. Owing to the deep Interest which the Hungarians take In their coast city, the business of Flume has grown rapidly. There are several harbors—one for coast ing vessels, one for timber and a general harbor, begun In 1872, and capable of ac commodating about 200 large vessels. It Is protected by a breakwater more than half a mile In length, and Is flanked by a frreat modern quay more than two miles ong. The wharves and elevators are equipped In the most up to date fashion for the handling of a huge Inflow and out flow of trade. The water front, as the rest of the city. Is lighted by electricity. In 1910, Flume was entered by 17.S80 ves sels of 3,031,381 tons. In approximate fig ures, Its business totaled 355,000,000, divided Into an export business of 335,000,000 and an Import trade of 320,000,00. Its trade Is thus about one-half that of the port of Ban Francisco. Its exports consist chief ly of the agricultural products of Hun gary, grain, flour, sugar, timber, horses and some manufactured wares. The prin cipal Imports are coal, wine, rice, various minerals, fruit, Jute, chemicals, oils and tobacco. There are several Industrial es tablishments In the city, among them Whitehead's torpedo factory, a large pa per mill, a royal tobacco factory, flour mills, tanneries and rope factories. The fisheries of the city are Important. Quar jero gulf being filled with food fishes. Flume Is picturesquely situated at the head of the gulf of Quarnero, at the south jrn base of the Istrian triangle, 40 miles southeast of Trieste, or about 70 miles away by the railroad through the moun Silnous coastland. The city has more than ,000 population. The Italians constitute io largest part of the populace and, to :ther with the Slavonians comprise about per cent. Geographically, Flume be longs to Croatia. In 1S70, however. It fln Illy became a part of the Hungarian ingdom. The Italians, who favor the lungarlans as opposed to the Slavonians, are practically In control of the city's ad ministration. Flume occupies seven square miles of land carved out of Croatia. Around Its water front there Is a narrow, level plain upon which the new town Is built, with Its convenient, modern ground plant, flue business structures and generally substan tial architecture. The old town climbs the hills back from the shore, straggling In a quaint disorder of Irregular, narrow streets and haphazard houses. Views of the city and Its surroundings from the deck of an approaching steamer are de lightful, and there are a number of pleas tance the curvature of the earth would prevent a light at thla elevation being seen. Lighthouse construction on the land 1« usually comparatively simple, except when there Is difficulty of access to the site. But often It Is Important for the protec tion of shipping that lighthouses be erect ed either on rocks or reefs exposed to the sea or actually In the water, on sand or rock bottom. Such work has called forth the greatest skill of engineers. The early lighthouses were lighted by wood or coal fires burned In open braziers, and later by candles Inclosed In lanterns. The resulting light was -necessarily weak and fitful, and a large part was lost by being diffused In directions of no use to martnera A coal fire was burned at the Isle of May light on the coast of Scotland up to 1118, and the famous Eddystone was lighted with 24 wax candles In 181L Oil lamps were early used In this country. If not from the first lighting of the Boston light. Fish oil, sperm oil, colza oil, lard oil and mineral oil were In turn burned, Increasing expense In each case compell ing a change. Circular wick lamps, with a central current of air, were Invented by Argand In 1782. At the present time lamps with from one to five concentric wicks, and burning a high grade kerosene oil, are used In a ma jority of lighthouses. About 610,009 gal lons of oil are burned each year at the light stations of the United States, about 340.000 gallon# of which are for lighthouse Illumination. For the more Important lights the Incan descent oil vapor lamp Is now used, hav ing been Introduced by the French In 1898. In this lamp the oil Is heated and then va porized, and Is burned mixed with air un der a mantle which Is made lncondescent. This gives a much more brilliant light than the wick lamp, with a smaller con sumption of oil. For Instance, this change of lamps re cently made at Cape Hatteras light has Increased the brilliancy of the light from 34.000 to 160,000 candle power, while the consumption of oil has been reduced from 2,280 gallons to 1,300 gallon# a year. Electric lights are used at a few light stations only. The expense Is too great to warrant the employment of electricity at many Important station. For some harbor lights It can be used to advantage by taking current from a local source of supply, and a light can thus be maintained In an exposed position and controlled from the shore. The electric light at Naveslnk, on the highlands Just south of New York harbor. Is the most powerful coast light In the United States. This light shows each five seconds a flash of one-tenth second dura tion estimated at 60,000,000 candle power. Although, on account of the curvature of the earth, the light Itself cannot be seen more than 22 miles. Its beam has been re ported to have been observed In the sky at a distance of 70 nautical miles. Alter everything in which the fruit is to be packed has been boiled for 40 minutes, the fruit, which has been brought to the boiling point, should be put in It, filled to the top, so that there is no room for air, and sealed thor oughly. Fruit canned in this way should keep almost Indefinitely, even without sugar. Remove only one jar at a time from the water—the one you are using—for bacteria from the air might In a few minutes destroy the sterilized condition of the pars. Dip a silver knife in boil ing water, fill the jar full of the hot fruit and syrup, and with the knife press the fruit in from the sides of the jar, to allow any air bubbles to rise to the top. Fill the jar to overflowing, slip on the covers and the work is done. Be sure, if you use Jars that require rubbers, to buy new rubbers each sea son. Many a can of fruit has been spoiled either by the taste from an old rubber or by air let In by a worn rub ber. The small expense of new rub bers is indeed worth while. The usual method of canning fruit Is to bring it to the boiling point with sugar to taste and water to make a syrup. Some fruits need little or no water, and some, of course, need very little sugar. Too much spoils the real fruit taste and should not be used. .And all fruit should be cooked until ten der. Berries need Just to be brought to the boiling point. Peaches and pears need longer cooking. ant tours to be made in the neighborhood. Flume has been Austrian since 1471. Household Hints. From the Baltimore American. Peel and cut up a beet and put In boiling water. Cook a short time and mix with powdered sugar and you will have a lovely pink frosting. Use a little at a time until you get the de sired shade. If you have a discarded mattress ticking, rip it apart, cut and sew as for carpet rags, and then have the strips woven with a white warp. If your cover was blue and white have a plain red border. An army blanket makes a most de sirable rug for the nursery floor, as it is large, clings to the floor, and dust does not go through it. It sweeps easily and washes without shrinking. In making waists, do not sew up the under-arm seam until the last thing. If left open, you have a flat garment to work on and can put the collar on much easier. Keep equal parts of lime water and sweet oil mixed on hand in a bottle ready for use and you will find it a splendid remedy for burns of any kind. Especially good for children. To keep the kitchen stove looking well without blacking, rub it over each day with a little raw linseed oil, using a soft rag, like outing flannel. Clean the nickel with kerosene oil. Rivers of Alaska. From the American Review of Reviews. The rivers of interior Alaska, of which the Yukon is the main artery, flow generally from east to west. The Yukon itself, from the point where it enters Alaska at Eagle to its outlet at the Bering sea, is more than 1,400 miles. It receives another 1,500 miles of nav igable tributaries In the Tanana, the Chandlar, the Porcupine, the Koyukuk and the Innoko. The Kuskokwim, the second largest river in Alaska, has 600 miles of navigable water, with which the branch railroad through the Kus kokwim valley will connect at Mc Grath. In all. these river* give 3,500 miles of navigable waterways in interior Alas ka. besides water in Canada, ready made to serve as feeders for the gov ernment railroad the day It reaches the Tanana, 412 miles from Seward, with the short branch to McGrath. Pa the Cause of Travel. From the Washington Star. “Are you going to Europe soon?” asked one New York girl. "No,” replied the other. “Now that pa is out of local polities and high finance. I don’t think we'll have to go to Europe so often.” « PINEAPPLE DELICACIES. .Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) We have all of us heard of the health giving qualities that pineapples are supposed to possess. The Juice of the pineapple actually contains valu able ferments, ferments that help to carry on digestion. And as an au thority pointed out, pineapple Juice begins to help digestion as soon as It reaches the stomach. Sour milk, which also contains valuable ferments, Is In Itself rather difficult of digestion, and i must dispose of Its own mass of fats i and proteins before It begins to dl- j gest other things. But pineapple Juice ! Is ready to begin Its helpful work the moment It enter the 6tomach. Pine apple Juice Is a delicious bev erage for summer. It Is not difficult to prepare. The Juice separates read ily from the fiber, especially when sugar Is added to It. It should be chilled thoroughly, and It should, of course, be taken from thoroughly ripe pineapples. Pineapple cut Into cubes or shreded with a silver fork and served, very cold, slightly sweetened, with almost any other fruit forms a delicious des sert. With whole, sweet strawber ries, with halved red cherries, with or anges and grapefruit cut into dice, with sliced bananas, with diced peach es—with all these it is tempting. Such a dessert should be daintily prepared and served In dessert glasses, very cold. A little finely shaved Ice may be added to make It more tempting. Pineapple water lea is a cooling des sert for a very hot day. This can be made from canned as well as from fresh pineapple. Like any other water Ice, it is very little tax on the diges tion—far less than ice cream, for the cream, milk and eggs from a much heavier food than does the pineapple Juice. Pineapple syrup, to use for ices or for beverages, can be made and bot tled when pineapples are least expen sive. Weigh the pineapple after It Is peeled and diced and add a third as much water, by measure, as there is sugar. That Is to say, if there is a pdund and a half of pineapple, use half a pound, or a cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water. Simmer until very soft and then press through a vegetable press. Strain, measure and return to the fire, with a pound of sugar for each pint of juice. Cook un til the sugar Is all dissolved and bot tle while hot. Cover the corks with sealing wax. Pineapple syrup can be added to any fruit punch. A delicious beverage can be made with pineapple and straw berry syrup diluted with very cold charged water, poured over shaved Ice. Orange Juice and pineapple, with sliced cherries and Ice, are good together and pineapple syrup added to lemon ade Is also refreshing. Mixed with cold tea, Imported ginger ale, and a little melted grape or currant or crabapple Jelly It forms another sparkling drink. A Symphony. At Relnlger’s orchard on the hill, On a Sunday morn when the wind Is still; In early spring when the birds are here. And the sun shines bright, and the sky Is clear; I like to lean on the woven fence. And watch the woodland denizens: Holding high carnival In the trees. Or call It an opera, If you please, With the grosbeak, robin and thrush, as stars. And where not a discord the music mans. And catbirds carol and finches thrill. In Relniger’s orchard on the hill. When the sun swings north and the’ days grow long, Here Is wealth of color as well as song. And fragrance too of blossoming trees. And chirrup of cricket and buzzing of bees. And bright colored singers in frolicsome Flashing’ like gems which the light strikes just right. Here the ruby throat humming bird whlrr lngly flies. Like a wee bit of rainbow astray from the skies, 'Mongst blossoms of plum and cherry and apple; Intermingled with sunlight and shimmer and dapple. And dandelions golden bespangle the sod. Persecuted by man, but protected by God. When the sun at the end of his northern sweep, Hastens back his southern appointment to keep; When the chill In the air Is soon followed by frost, And we grieve for the beautiful flowers w$ have lost; Then the birds as It were from these signs take a tip, And In somber costumes fly away on their trip, When l^e green leaves turn scarlet and crimson and rold, Then drop to the ground to mix with the mould, While the haze In the air, like a smoulder ing Are, Does sadly suggest Summer's funeral i pyre, Mother Nature then mourns and weeps rainy tears. For the death of her loves and the flight of the years, And from Boreas' breath and a white downy cloud. Of Immaculate crystals she weaves them a shroud, Then she laughs In the sunburst know, lng well It will bring, The green and the bloom that shall glad den the spring. At the orchard’s side on the end of the street. Stands the Relnlger home, old fash ioned but neat, 3311 And often at eve when the w-eather per mits, On the porch to the east, Judge Relnl ger sits. With his eye on a book, or the land far hnd wide, With Tasso the greyhound, curled ud by his side. As I pass; while old Tasso pretendingly snar Is, The Judge booms a hearty, "Good eve ning, Charles;" A picture of peace and contentment achieved. As he smiles like Will Taft (before he received The rebuke though well merited, so keenly he felt. Of that greatest American: Theodore Roosevelt). And the seasons will come and the seasons will go. And to us they will also bring sunshine and snow In defeats and In triumphs, In hopes and In fears, In Joys and In sorrows, In smiles and In tears. May we learn from our troubles, not only regret, And thank the good Lord for the good that we get. Then a Relnlger smile will fit well In the scene. Be the sky grey or blue, or the earth white or green. —Charles L*. Dyke, Orange City, la. Business It Business. From Llpplncott's. A young suburban doctor, whose practice was not very great, sat In his study reading away a lazy afternoon In early summer. His man servant ap peared at the door. "Doctor, them boys Is stealing your green peaches again. Shall I chase them away?" The doctor looked thoughtful a mo ment, then leveled his eyes at the ser vant. “No," he said. It Is said that reindeer are more nu» merous than horses In Norway. - ■ . T~ ""'S5S» THE OGRESS. /Copyright, 1915. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Once there lived in a far country an Ogress who hated everyone who had any beauty because she was so bad tempered that her face was unpleasant to look upon and her disposition even showed In her form, which was crooked and she walked sideways instead of go ing straight ahead. Now this dreadful ogress had little ogles—we should call them little girls —and two were like their mother and walked sideways, too, just as she did. But the third and youngest was very pretty and had long black hair, which was very glossy. Her cheekt were like two red roses and her teeth like pearls. When the ogress beheld the beauty of her youngest daughter she began to hate her, which, of course, is not at all like a mother and never hap pens only in the land where bad witches and ogresses live. The girl’s name was Filadoro. and she was as good as she was beautiful; all day she cooked and cleaned the house and waited on her two bad tem pered sisters, for you know bad tem pered people are always bad featured. If they had only known that the chief reason for Filadoro’s beauty was be cause she was of a sweet disposition, they very likely would have tried to overcome their disagreeable ways, but they did not know anything about that, and so they went on being bad. But one day the ogress noticed that Filadoro was growing more beautiful and her two sisters told their mother that unless she sent Filadoro away they would leave home, for that very day a young man who wore a beauti ful velvet suit and a cap with a long plume in it had stopped at their door and asked for a drink of water. "We tried to be polite and get the water for him," said one of the ugly sisters, "but that bold Filadoro brought the water and he never looked at us again.” “He must have poor sight,” replied the ogress, “to prefer that black haired j creature to my two handsome darlings; I’ll see to her at once.” And she called Filadoro. “It is high time, Miss, you were taught how to respect your dear sis ters,” said the ogress. “You shall be put in the tower of this old castle un til you know how to behave. So poor Filadoro was put in a high tower and fed on bread and water un til anyone but Filadoro would have starved but a good fairy watched over her and the bread turned to meat and cake and the water to good, rich milk. So Filadoro grew strong and more beautiful, and the strangest part was her hair grew long until it trailed up on the floor. Now, the young man in the rich clothes who stopped at the ogress’ door was a prince, and he fell in love with Filadoro. but the next time he passed that way and asked for a drink the two ugly sisters were the only ones lie a«iv>, "Where Is the young girl that served me when I last called?” asked the prince. "Oh, that was our servant,” an swered the untruthful sisters, "and she was so bold we sent her away.” The prince left with a heavy heart, but Just as he was riding away a bird singing sweetly in a tree caused him to loop up, and there In the tower he could see something moving. "I wonder what that can be," thought the prince. "That old castle looks ready to fall; It cannot be that anyone Is living in the tower.” He thought about the pretty girl he mi had seen on his first visit all the way home and how strange the sisters had acted when he asked about her. "They did not look like people who keep d servant," he said. “X believe I ~ will go back and watch.” So that night when everyone was In bed and asleep the prince got on his horse and rode back to the castle where the ogress lived. The prince jumped from his horse and ran to the tower, and, looking up, he beheld the pretty Filadoro looking down at him. “What are you doing up there?" he asked; "come down.” "I can’t," answered Filadoro; “I aim locked In." "But I can climb up to you," said the prince, "If you can wind your hair around something so It will be firm.” Filadoro saw a strong peg by the window, so she gave her hair a twist around It and told the prince to climb up. When he heard the story of the treatment she had received all on ac count of him, he told her he would rescue her that, very night and carry her off *o his palace and marry her. He slid down the glossy coll of Flla doro’s hair, and, mounting his horse he rode as fast as he could to hie palace. Then he took a large piece of rope and rode back, and climbing up by Filadoro’s long coll, he was beside her. He fastened the rope about the peg where her hair had been fastened, and told her to slide down to the ground and wait for him. When he saw that she was safe, he followed, and, placing her on the horse In front of him, away they rode and were soon out of the reach and power of the ogress. _ j A Thouejhtful Nurse! Two nursemaids were wheeling theli Infant charges In the park when one asked the other: "Are you going to the dance tomor row afternoon?” "s “I am afraid not.” “What!” exclaimed the other. "And you so fond of dancing!” *I’d love to go,” explained the con scientious maid, “but, to tell you the truth, I am afraid to leave the baby with Its mother.” Bertillon at Home.
