Pineapple
ACH season more and more
El people become cognisant of
I the great food value of the
pineapple and as a result
every year new ways of
serving the fruit are suggested. If
you are of those who enjoy the fruit
only In the summer season, you may .
find these pineapple fancies pleasant
eight months from now.
Certainly pineapple owes a large part
of Its popularity to the fact that It Is
cooling, refreshing and digests well,
, but It Is also most adaptable and Is
quite In place at every meal. Cut In
large pieces, with rind left, It makes
delicious breakfast fruit. Pipped in
sugar If you have a sweet tooth.
Fresh pineapple marmalade Is de
licious with crisp toast. Have you
ever tried making this for temporary
use from the portions of a pineapple
not used when served as a first
course T
Stew it, having careftilly removed
eyes and grated It until tuider. Then
add a pound of sugar to every pint of
fruit, and boll until It jellies slightly,,
tested In a saucer. To eat quickly,
less boiling Is needed and the flavor Is
more delicate.
As first course for luncheon or din
ner cut rounds of the fruit across the
pineapple, leaving on the rind. Each
is an Inch thick. Put a round on a
dessert plate, remove tough heart, fill

Sleeves Prescribed.
Now that the elbow sleeve is once more
in fashion it behooves girls to pay atten
tion to the skin of their arms.
Keep a watchful eys for dust. A girl
who would be horrified at tiie thought
may have a grimy look about the elbow.
It la easily acquired and needs constant
scrubbing to prevent.
Use a small flesh brush and pure white
soap, with once a week liquid green oi.
The latter must be rinsed off thoroughly.
Be' careful to dry the arms well aftor
bathing; otherwise roughness of the outl
et often occurs. It also forms from not
rubbing hard enough In bathing.
When the akin Is thus rough It is more
often found on the back of the arm than
elsewhere. Rub with powdered pumice
moistened in water or alchohol. Follow by
a thorough rubbing with cold cream.
If your skin Is sensitive to sunburn or
freckles do not go out in daytime without
long loves. It Is almost impossible to re
move freckles from the arm, though they
may fade off the face in winter.
Where arms are red see first that there
la no pressure around the armhole; also
that the corset Is not too tight. Use lemon
at night as a bleach, followed by a whit
ening ceam. If all methods fall, resort to
powder well rubbed In. It wilt take off the
most brilliant hue.
If the arm Is too thin, enlarge It by
tensing exercises. A good one Is to hold
the arm at right angles to the body; then
clench the fist and draw It- up until it
touches the shoulder. This should be done
as It pulling a heavy weight
Just a word as to the etiquette of the
elbow sleeve. Do not wear it on ' the
street in the daytime, unless the arm Is
well gloved, or In any public, place. It is
to be hqped we will be spared the shock
ing lack of good taste that was so com
mon two summers ago.

that the fruit Is thoroughly chilled.

Is better, though less customary. Cut
Into small cubes, serve Icy cold on let

of the fruit. Make dressing with
lemon Instead of vinegar and marinate

Pineapple shells are artlstlo for serv
ing sherbet, If a luncheon la not too
large. Where the table la crowded use
sherbet glasses and put In a thin slice
of tho fresh fruit or Maraschino cherry
on each portion.
Pineapple served as a dessert should
be shredded, not cut. Sugar and let
It stand on Ice for at least an hour.
Do not sweeten too much. This Is a
common fault
The preparation of pineapple la sim
plified by scissors for cutting out eyes.
The pulp Itself Is quickly cut into
proper sized pieces with same scissors.
In selecting pineapples see that they
are solid, rather heavy for their size,
and not too ripe. 8ugar loaf varieties
are reliable.
The best part of eating pineapple Is
that as a diet the doctors are recom
mending it Instead of medicine.

BALLOONING OVER ATLANTIC
Wellsnan Oaabaar Being- Inflated for
Projected Trip Over tho
Ocean.
A serious attempt to fly across the At
lantic Ocean will be made from Atlantic
City, N. J within the next two weeks.
The public has hardly realized the seri
ousness of this attempt and the elaborate
ness of the preparations are a revelation
to all who see them. Walter Wellman Is at
the head of the enterprise and has asso
ciated with him Mr. Vannlman, a skilled
engineer of high repute, and a corps of
assistant engineers, mechanicians, etc.
The ballon Is now being Inflated with hy
drogen gas, and this process has been In
progress for nearly a week. The gas works
are attached to the hanger and consist of
a series of cylinders containing sulphuric
acid and Iron filings, which, when brought
Into contact, produce hydrogen gas. This
Is drawn Into the balloon by its own sue
ttlon at a very perceptible rate. The bal
loon on Sunday was apparently three-quarters
full of gas, and should be fully Inflated
by the end of the week.
The balloon rests In a building nearly 800
feet long by seventy-five feet high, erected
by the enterprise of the Atlantic City hotel
keepers. It lies behind the base ball park
at the Inlet. The front Is near the beach
pointing toward the sea, and consists of
tarpaulin that Is easily detachable, so that
when the signal Is given the cigar-shaped
airship can move forward directly toward
the European coast.
The balloon Itself ,1s about 220 feet long, and
is made of heavy silk, strong and durable.
A portion of the envelope was used in Mr.
Wellman'a experiments at Spitsbergen and
In his attempt to fly to the North Pole, but
since then It has been lengthened and a
carrying weight of '8,000 pounds has been
aded.
The buoyancy of the balloon is made ap
parent by the extraordinary efforts needed
to keep It down, although It Is leas than
three-quarters inflated. Bags of sand In
clusters of five are suspended by ropes
from each side of the balloon. Already
nearly ten tons of this ballast are hanging
from the partly filled envelope to restrain
It from rising through the roof, and It
will probably require 30,000 pounds of sand
to keep the balloon In the hanger when It
Is fully Inflated.
When the bag is full it will be held by
heavy chain anchors, as well as the sand
ballast bags, while the car Is being at
tached. The car, In the unscientific lan
guage. Is made of drawn steel, about LiO
feet long. It will be fitted with seven com
partments, wide at the top and narrowing
at the bottom to a gangway of wood.
A ribbon of heavy material whloh might
be termed a "pleat" extends all around
the balloon. The car will be attached to
this pleat with heavy hickory sticks woven
Into It and attached to the car by steel
drawn wire. Underneath the oar is a long
tank, pointed at each end like a torpedo
about 150 feet long and nearly two feet In
diameter. It Is made entirely of drawn
welded steel and will be filled with gaso
line. There will be two engines of eighty-horse
power each, similar to those used in motor
boats. They will drive four Immense pro
pellers, two on each side, which resembele
the fins of a fish. They are made of wood,
and have a tremendous thrust that can
propel the airship at twenty miles an hour.

these propellers as that fiom - those of
aeroplanes, as they will revolve at less than
half the ordinary speed of the latter. U
Is Intended that they should drive the air
ship In a calm at the rale of twenty miles
per hour without extra strain, lly a skill
ful mechankal arrangement the plane of
these propellers can be lowered or raised
from a steering wheel Inside the car, so
mat the nose of the slUp can he lowered or
elevated as the occasion requires.
Underneath the gasoline tank a lifeboat
will be suspended, equipped with supplies
for thirty days. It Is now aruiiacd that
five persons will accompany Mr. Wrllman
on the trip. Besides Mr. Vannlman. the
chief engineer, there will be three assist
ants and a wireless telegraph operator.
The passengers will probably sleep In the
lifeboat.
The distance from Atlantic City to
Europe is about 8.000 miles. The trade
winds at this time of year are steady and
continuous from the American shores to
the European coast, and follow almost the
course of the Atlantic liners. It Is believed
that they w Ml blow at an average rate of
about twenty miles an hour, which would
give the ship a speed of forty miles. If
this can be maintained the voyage from
Atlantic City to the European coast would
require about four days.
The wireless operator who will accom
pany the ship Is the man who received the
famous "C. Q. IV message of Jack limns
from the sinking Republic. He Is now In
Atlantic City with his apparatus, and will
attach It to the oar this week.
All the equipment, apparatus, and sup
plies, Including the propellers, are now on
the ground, and a force of nearly 100 men-watchmen,-
engineers and mechanics are
at work day and night, pushing tho prepar
ations with all possible speed. Unless soma
now unforeseen accident occurs the pre
parations for the departure can be com
pleted within a fortnight at the most, and
can probably be finished a day or two
sooner. New York Times.
THEY ARE SOBER ENGINEERS
Result of Inflexible Itules Asvalnst
Intemperance Enforced by the
Brotherhood.
It la safe to say that no other union,
club or organization of any sort applies
quite such heroic treatment to undesira
ble citizens aa the Brotherhood ot Loco
motive Engineers. One thing that the
brotherhood most strenuously Insists
upon Is that its members shall not
drink. Tl.!rty-flve members were ex
pelled for getting drunk in 1909, and their
shame was publicly proclaimed In the
Journal. The treatment does not stop here
by any means. The brotherhood will not
risk the lives of its members and the gen
eral public by permitting a drinking man
to run an engine. When a man has been
duly convicted of drinking and punished
according to the laws of the order, the
facts are laid before the proper authorities
on the road that employes him, and his
discharge is demanded. In one notable In
stance the engineer of a fast train got
drunk during his layover and disgraced
himself. He was tried, convicted and ex
pelled, the management was Informed, and
the offender's discharge requested In
regular form. But as the engineer had
been a good man, the railroad company
demurred, saying that he had not been
drunk while on duty.
"But," said the brotherhood, "there Is
no telling when a man who gets drunk
off duty may take a notion to get drunk
on duty, and we do not intend to take
any chances on having a drunken man
tearing through the country at Blxty miles
an hour, endangering the lives of others.
It Is unfair both to the employes In your
service and to your patrons."
The culprit was discharged. He can
never be employed on a railroad again.
