What Love of Order Costs
By A MERE MAN.
The average woman "tidies up" as
; naturally at she eats and drinks.
Eating and drinking are, however,
relegated to certain fixed times and
seasons and she is very particular
as a rule with regard to the nature
and quality of the articles, solid or
liquid, upon which she operates. But
k there is no close-time for the tidy
ing habit and nothing is exempt
from it or comes amiss to it. The
tidying habit is omniverous and all
inclusive a cormorant, ostrich and
municipal destructor combined.
Takatnur own wife, for instance.
She wHl "tidy up" with equal facil
ity, dexterity and completeness, the
evening paper you have just brought
in and which you have not read a
aingle word, the cast of flies you
have just purchased for tomorrow's
fishing excursion up the river and
the key, which is the c4y one that
fits your desk.
She can't help it. The tidying
uauii, wun long indulgence,-'becomes
a dominating passion like
orinit or opium, indeed, it would
seem to be a form of domeitir. klrn-
tomama, and the " various perform
ances or a somnamDunst or a per
son under hypnotic influence. It
would be interesting,, indeed, if
some powerful hypnotist could, by
the method of suggestion, for in
stance, prevail so powerfully over
the natural instincts of a woman as
to cause her to pass her husband's
tobacco pouch, say, without "tidy-
. ing it up." Hypnotism would win
a convert to its efficiency if it could
, do that
Th average Woman has an inate
sense of the "eternal fitness of
tnings. - She must have or could
not do the things she does. This
sense, by some mysterious and oc
cult process which no metaphysical
philosopher can define, causes her
to conclude that the only proper and
possible, place for a vest you dis
, carded during the too hot days of

very bottom of the top left-hand

thing to it, just as an electro-magnet
makes the iron filings fly toward
its all-compelling poles. Once in
her clutches, any article, especially
if it is one which you require im
mediately and which will be stale
or useless tomorrow, is doomed to
solitary confinement for periods
ranging from six months very
rare instances to 100 years. In
deed, it is thought that an ancient
Egyptian papyrus, containing the
news of the day, lately discovered
in the recess of a wall in an un
earthed royal palace, was one which
Pharoah's wife "tidied up" 4,000
years ago. It is more than probable.
You remember the favorite pocket
knife you had when you were a
boy? It was a marvel of shining
uiaues,- Dig ana little, corkscrews
gimlets, button hooks, awls and
toothpicks. In an unlucky moment
or absent-mindedness you left it on
the kitchen table. It was tidied up."
Ten years afterwards, when the
family was moving it was brought
into ine iignt ot day once more
alone with other lone missinir treas
ures of yours from the farthest
and darkest corner of the closet
under the stairs. Too late, alas I
Ten vears had cooled vntir nair,n
for pocket knives of general and uni
versal utility and the knife sought
wun tears ten years belore charmed
no longer. Besides it was so rusty
inai you Drone your nans trying to
open it and you gave it to the man

pecunious days of early wedded bliss
laying down on the tea table for a
Driel moment a receipt for $20. Your
young wife, who would not willingly
have caused you a moment's incon
venience, had the tidying habit
strongly developed. She inherited
it from a long line of tidiers.
Twenty , years later, yellow with
age, you discovered that receipt, at
the bottom of the topmost chest
but six in the boxroom. Meanwhile
you had paid the bill again under a
threat of legal proceedings because
tne tradesman naa not crossed it
off his books and you could not pro
duce evidence of payment. But how
did it get i nto its hiding place? No
man knows. Men are not supposed
to know.

Clouds of humming demons, armed
with poisoned lances, chasing man,
tollowing him up, surrounding him
where he settles as wolves besiege an
encampment, attacking him in his
homes, in his walks and his labors,
breaking camp when he breaks, stopp
ing where he stops, acquiring from
him the habit of emigration, infecting
his life with the germs of death and
singing a high-keyed paean of victory
and gratification over his poignant
sufferings- such is the picture which

squito in its relations with its human'
contemporaries.
This, as Dr. C. S. Ludlow, of the
Army Medical museum, points out,
is a new viewpoint ot the mosquito,
which may be of advantage in the
war on that dangerous and irritating
insect. Hitherto it has been generally
assumed that mosquitoes, like rattle
snakes, were not to be feared unless
one went into a neighhood where they
already abounded.
It seems to be still true that the
malanat varieties of mosquitoes have
their natural habitats, from which
they will not widely depart unless
they are lured away. But they differ
from rattlesnakes and other noxious
creatures in that, instead of avoiding
the neighborhood of man, they quick
ly learn to prefer it.
The taste of human blood becomes
as fascinating for them as the smell
and flavor of whisky are for some
unfortunate, weak-willed men. Dan
gerous snakes keep away from in
habited places, but mosquitoes seek
them. Man draws them after him, or
as Major Ashburn puts it; "The ma
larial mosquito follows man."
Some very curious and suggestive
observations have been made in the
canal zone concerning the distances
to which malarial mosquitoes will go
in search of human blood, the man
ner in which they become infected
with malarial germs and the screen
ing effect produced by a settlement
intervening between the lurking place
of the mosquitoes and another settle
ment beyond it.
If they get all they want of their
favorite food at the nearby point they
will not go beyond it, but if the hu
man screen is removed then they will
go farther, pitching their camp in a
new locality, if necessary, for, upon
the average, they do not take flights
much exceeding a quarter a mile from
their breeding places, althouh in
stances have been known where, ow
ing iu special circumstances, they
extended their range to a mile.
They Like Humans.
Some experiments, or at least ob
servations, have been made unnn th.
effect of an "animal barrier inter
posed between a human settlement
and the home of the mosquito, but
this has been found to be inefficient
The insects prefer human blood, and
they easily perforate human, skin.
It has also been observed that
places in the Canal rone where set
tlements of laborers had existed for a
considerable time and which had be
come hotbeds of malarial mosauitoes.
have been almost completely denuded
of the dangerous insects since their
human neighbors decamped.
A very striking instance of this is
quoted by Dr. Ludlow in "Science."
At Cano Saddle, a contractor's camp
was formed on November 26, 1913. At
first malaria carrying mosquitoes
seemed to have been unknown there.
Un December 6 six mosauitoes. with
malaria in their blood, were killed;
on December 13, thirty-four; on De
cember 20. 165: on December 27. 115:
on January 31. 1.211: on March 7.
iXtl; on May , eighty-seven. The f-
camp was dissolved early in May.
Major Ashton thinks that the ano
pheles mosquito (the malarial kind) is
not a malaria carrier when it breeds
far from the neighborhood of man.
From this we may infer that it gets
the germ from man, renders it trans
ferable, and then hands it back in an
envenomed form through its bites.
But, if the mosquito itself suffers from
the infection, the result seems to re
semble that of whisky on certain men
it maddens with a desire for more,
it breaks the bond between the victim
and his native home and habits and
sends the crazed sufferer in chase of
unnatural indulgence without regard
to consequences.
',' There is another resemblance be
tween the taste of the mosquito for
human blood and that of whisky
drinkers for their liquid curse, and
that is that it produces, or promotes,
a kind of low cunning, employed for
the sake of the infatuating dissipa
tion. Nobody needs to be reminded of the
pitiful deceptions and subterfuges that
the slaves of whisky practice, while
no Jerseyman is unaware of the
demoniac trickery of a mosquito in
getting in its stabs on the back of the
victim s neck or through thin stock
ings in the shadow of trouser legs or
skirts.
' One somewhat comforting observa
tion made during the mosquito wars
of the Isthmus is that, broadly speak
ing, a distance ot about 1uu yards
from the breeding ground is, in ordi
nary circumstances, sufficient to pro
cure a fair degree of exemption from
the mosquftoouisance.
The following rhubarb ginger jam
is specially popular with older people,
but, as a rule, the children do not like
the hot flavor.
, Rhubarb and Giner Jam Eight
pounds of rhubarb, six pounds of
sugar, iwo ounces oi root ginger, rind
of two lemons.
Cut the rhubarb into two-inch
lengths and spread in a single layer
on a tray; let tnem dry in the sun and
air for twenty-four hours, then put in
a deep bowl with the sugar and a very
little water tor anotner twelve nours
strain off the dissolved sugar and
juice; put in a preserving kettle. Tie
the ginger and lemon rind in a piece
of scalded cheesecloth and add to the
syrup. Bring to a boil and continue
boiling for five minutes; then pour
over the rhubarb and leave for an
other twenty-four hours; at the end
of that time simmer until the rhubarb
is clear and the syrup thick. Do not
pour the jam into the sterilized jars,
but just lift the pieces of rhubarb
very carefully out and lay into the
jars, and then .pour the syrup over
them.
Rhubarb and Almond Jam Six
pounds of rhubarb, four and one-half
pounds of sugar, one and one-half
ounces of bitter almonds, rind of
three large lemons or four small.
Cut the rhubarb into two-inch
lengths and add the sugar; then very
thinly cut lemon rind, and the al
monds blanched and split. Boil all
together for one and a quarter hours
and pour into hot, dry jars.
sugarless Jam Ihree pounds rnu
barb, two ounces of sweet almonds.
one ounce of root giner, saccharine
tablets sufficient to equal two pounds
of sugar in sweetness.
Cut the rhubarb into small pieces,
break the ginger very small, blanch
and shred the almonds; put all into
an earthen dish, cover and place in a
moderately hot oven; cook until soft.
Put into a preserving kettle, add the
saccharine, boil until reduced to two
thirds and pour into small jars; cover
with caper soaked in olive oil; pour
a very little whisky or brandy over
the paper, then put on the final cov
ers and store in a dry place.
Gooseberry, greengage, peach and
strawberry jam can be made by the
same method, allowing the same pro
portion of saccharine.
A marmalade swetened in tne same
way gives a variety to tne diabetic
patient who is confined to such a
monotonous diet, as a rule, that it is
a real charity to try and liven it up.
. Sugarless Marmalade One pound
of lemons, forty tablets of saccharine,
half ounce ot gelatine, water.
Wash the lemons and put into an
agate pan, cover well with cold water.
Boil for htteen minutes, strain ott
and add boiling water as much as the
amount that was strained off; then
boil again for fifteen minutes. Save
one quart of the last water; divide
the lemons and take but the pips; cut
the peel into very thin shred and re
turn to the quart of water; add the
saccharine and boil for thirty min
utes: then add the gelatine and stir
until dissolved. Put into jars and
cover in the usual way.
Fruit Butters.
Apple Butter One peck sour ap
ples, two quarts sweet apples, cider,
sugar equal to one-half the weight of
the apples, spice.
Pare, quarter and core the apples,
weigh and then add enough cider to
just cover the fruit, put the lid on the
kettle and cook gently, stirring oc
casionally with a wooden spoon or
paddle. When the mixture begins to
thicken continue- stirring untiL the
whole becomes of the consistency of
marmalade, then add the sugar and
powdered cinnamon and cloves, mix
well, put into sterilized jars and cover.
Other fruit butters are made the
same way, but sometimes honey is
added to plums, making an especially
delicious compound. This is the rec
ipe:
Plum Butter and Honey Put the
plums into the saucepan with a very
little water, just enough to keep from
burnintr. let them cook very slowly
until quite soft and then press through
a coarse sieve. Measure the pulp, heat
gently until the puree comes to a
boil and add the honey, allowing one
pint to every quart of the fruit. Con
tinue cooking and stirring until ot the
right consistency and put into ster
ilized jars as usual.
String Beans.
String beans are dried in a differ
ent way, although the last part of the
process is practically the same.
Gather the beans on a fine day ani
remove the strings, cutting the beans
into strips as if for cooking. Lay all
the cut beans in a large colander, and
plunge for three minutes into a pan
of fast-boiling water in which a tea
spoonful of bicarbonate of soda ha!
been dissolved. Turn the beans out oi
the colander, and dry gently with a
soft cloth. Have ready some wir
sieves; spread the beans in a thin
layer and stand the sieves in the
oven one on top of the other. See
that the air can pass around all tin
sieves. Stir the beans gently every
three hours, and as they dry move
them closer together on the sieves.
In this way some of the sieves will
be gradually emptied. It is then pos
sible to fill the top. of the oven with
sieves of half-dried beans, and have
the bottom portion of the oven pack-
ed with sieves full of freshly cut
beans. Do not mix fresh and half
dried vegetables on the same sirve,
as this retards the drying of the lat
ter. When perfectly dried the beans

being stored away in air-tight tins ,
and boxes.
Carrots and parsnips should be
well washed and scraped, then cut
into thin slices or dice, accordine to
whether they will eventually be used
for soups or stews. Throw the sliced
parsnips into water, to which a table
spoonful of vinegar has been added,
as this helps to preserve the color.
Afterwards dry them in the same
way as the beans. If the sun is very
hot the sliced vegetables can be laid
in a sunnny window to help with the
drying, but the process is much long
er than when the oven is used.
Apples and Pears.
Apples and pears are peeled, the ;
latter cut in halves and the formet
into rings and quarters. The rings
take less time to dry and are easier
to manage. The rings cut an inch
thick and the core removed.
As the pears and apples are peeled
and divided, drop them into a basin
of cold water, to which has been
added a tablespoonful of lemon juice .
for every quart of water. Leave the
slices soaking in this for twenty
minutes, then take up, dry thoroughly
with a cloth, and lay on sieves in the
oven in the same manner as the
beans. Do not attempt to do too
much at a time, as this will lead to
disaster. Windfalls, provided they
are quite sound, do very well for dry
ing. All bruised portions must be
carefully removed. Eating pears dry
better than cooking pears, but both
are equally useful. Of course the
drying is not worth while unless you
have the fruit and vegetables to spare
from your own garden; if they have
to be bought it is better to' rely on
the grocer in the winter and to in
vest in a good brand of the canned
products. Philadelphia Ledger.

A New Iced Cocoa
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.
Of the many uses to which cocoa
may be put, none is more popular
than iced cocoa. Serve it in high
glasses for tennis parties, luncheon
or afternoon teas; or it could also be
used as a dessert.
Take one -quart of milk that has
been brought to a boil, with four
tablespoonfuls of sugar. Put intp a
bowl two good ' tablespoonfuls of
cocoa: mix with it by degrees one cup
of cold water, and when it is of the
consistency of a smooth paste mix into
it the boiling milk and stir it on the
fire till it is boiling; then strain it
through a strainer and put aside till
cold. Freeze it to the consistency of
a thick batter; then, when ready to
serve, fill tall glasses with it . and
place on the top of each about a des
sertspoonful of snow cream.
Snow Cream Put two cups of cold
water into a bowl or stewpan with
a quarter pint of thick cream, the
strained juice of a lemon and four
tablesponfuls of sugar; whip this
mixture quickly with a whisk until
the top is frothy like snow, remove
the froth with a spoon and place it on
a hair sieve to drain. Repeat the
whipping while any froth is obtain
able, and when ready to serve take
it gently from the sieve with a spoon
and use.
