Hints for the Home AVilb Currants. Currants, in spite of their rather insignificant place on our bills of fare--save. in the form of jelly are decidedly beneficial to Immunity. For their chief constituent.*, pot- ash, tartaric acid -which give them their sharpness and grape sugar, an easily digested substance, all have value. English dieticians, es- pecially, harp on the health-pre- serving qualities of this small fruit. Perhaps the reason for the limit- ed u*e <jf currants in that must cooks liavo a limited way of pre- senting them. Currant jelly, of course, that is known in every hotis; hold. It is one of the main- stays <'f life. You ivmoinb.-r the fastidious school teacher who de- clared that a re ul lady would know by in-tinet that tin: propiT aeeinii- paii'iir-'it < f r^ast lamb was currant jelly ,' When any article of food Iwts reached the stage wher- it is considered a. test of ladyhood it must be widely accepted. And !-ome cooks know the deli- cacy of currants, chilled through, removed fr<>m their stems and scrv- od with ;ri ice-cold syrup of sugar and water poured over them, in the French fashion. Occasionally other metli.'U -f s-rving currants are rile. But on t-he whole, they are usually served in a monotonous natural state when they are in sea- son and in an incessant jelly state after their season has gone by. Currant Jelly, f'urrant jelly N jioi t<> lie decried, in spite of the fact that it is ever present. Here is a reliable recipe for making it: Mash nicely washed currants and put them in cheesecloth bags. Hang the. bags fu that the juice will strain through and leave them hanging for eight or ten hours. Then measure tho juice, and for every cupful allow a cupful of granu'.at d sugar. Heat the sugar in a ll-it pan in the .,\en. but do not brown : op melt it. Boil the clear juice fur five minutes, then add the sugar nnd stir until dissolved. Just before- it reaches the boiling point after ilie sugar is added, remove from th- firo and pour into glasses that have been scalded. When the jelly is cool cover it well with par- affine. Currant Catsup. ( 'urrant catsup suggest.- another way of preserving currants. Wash and stern the cur- rant^. and to four pounds of the fruit, after it is prepared, add two pounds ,,f brown sugar and a pint of g )<>d cider or wine \ inegar. Sim- i gj^ [wrong side when it is pantly dry. To make wall paper titick over jcalsiinincd or whitewashed walla ig'tt a lnrg brush ml some ochre and paint the -waJls first. Jelly bags, pudding cloths, and strainer cloths should bo thrown into clear warm water immediately uitrr using. All rubbing and wringing by twisting is harmful when washing woollens; be sure to rinse out all the soapsuds*. A clvcken for broiling should be wrapped in u buttered pa.j>cr bag. This will keep the meat moist and i-ftain the flavor. Try the plan of allowing a day to intervene between the washing and ironing, and soc if it docs not prove .1 strength-saver. Hair brushes ean be cleaned by putting ammonia in cold water and dipping the brush in, bring careful not to allow the wood to go in the water; thc-n rinse in clear cold wa- ter. Nothing is better than a large pair of bellows for blowing dust out of the piano. The front must of course be taken off to get to the 6t rings. To drive a nail into plaster first liure a hole about twice the diame- ter of the nail or screw and fill it up with soft plaster of Paris. In- sert the nail, and when the plaster hardens it will hold like iron. To iron a natural colored poii- gee so as to preserve its beauty, iron it only when it is perfectly dry and with an iron only moderately hot, as nothing scorches quite so eas'.y ns silk. Do not sprinkle pongee, us the water spots never iron out. To clean cane-bottomed chairs sponge both sides of the cane thor- oughly with hot soapsuds in which a handful of salt has been dissolv- ed. Then stand the chairs in the open air to dry. This cleans them beautifully, the cane is kept a good color, and if the seats have relaxed j with wear they become quite firm again. A good soup for invalids is made by adding a half-pint of beef tea to a half-ounce of tapioca ; stir over the fire until it comes to a boil, then simmer until tapioca is thor- oughly cooked. Flavor with salt and pepper. When cool stir in the yoke of an egg well beaten ; sim- mer slowly until the egg is cooked. To clean a dirty matting: First shake it well to remove all dust, then wash it with salt and water. It must not be made very wet, and should be well dried after being rubbid with a coarse cloth, then hung over a rail in the sun. If there are any stains, spirits, such as gin, will remove them.

Now ilia! the Panama Canal Is near- ly finished, a review of the prospects for returns on the investment may be Interesting. Charles Frederick Carter, in the New York Sun, makes this estimate: Up to the end of 1913 the outlay on the undertaking footed up $314,- 726,717. liy the time the Job is fin- ished it will have cost, according to present estimates, $375,000,000, or say $3.75 for each man, woman, and child in the country. This is mora than the nine other principal '.'iterways of the world, Including the Suez Canal and the two canals at Sault Ste. Marie, have cost. The fortification scheme will absorb other millions, to which must be added the cost of maintenance and operation. Possible Traffic. Estimates submitted to the New York Chamber of Commerce by its committee on foreign commerce in February, 1912, fix interest on bonds issued to build the canal at $11,000,000 a year; upkeep, operations, and con- tingencies. $0,500,000; total, $14,500,- 000 a year. This does not include provision for amortization of bonds, which would require an additional $7,- 500,000 a year for fifty years, making a grand total of $22,000,000 a year to be derived from the revenues of the canal In order to plare It on the basis of a commercial enterprise paying its own way. This includes nothing for profit; but the benefits popularly ex- pected to be derived from the oper- ation of tho canal may bo assumed to be acceptable in llnu of cash revenue. So far as published records disclose, no one seems to have thought of the expediency of investigating tho com- mercial prospects of tho canal while the undertaking was under consider- ation. Search through several ponder- ous volumes of reports of canal hear- ings before Congressional committees reveal just two pages of vagtifl gen- eralizations on the commercial out- look, including a summary of thirty- three estimates of possible traffic. These ranged from 400,000' tons a year, the estimate of Joseph Nlmmo, Jr., (hen chief of the liureau of Statistics, of (he Treasury Department, to 15,- 1 750,000 tons. The high estimates were all from French sources, the highest | being that of liunnu-Varllla. The I French, !t will be remembered, had a canal concession to sell, and Itiinau- Varllla was trying to sell it for them. Old Routes Shorter. Panama is not on the line of any great commercial movement, but is far distant from any such movement. While the parallel of Suez runs through the most densely populated areas of the world, no less than 94 per cent, of tho oarth'M population lives north of Panama. Tho Suez route through tho Mediterranean, the lied Sea, Indian Ocean, by way of In- dia, Ceylon, Straits Settlements, and tho rich F.ast Indies Is thickly dotted with ports having a liirRe and lucra- tive tniflle. Tho Panama Canal will connect two ocean solitudes. To sum up, tho older routes are shorter, or for other reasons, are morn attractive for the greater part of (he world's shipping limn (he Panama route. For the small portion for which Panama Is In a position to compote, Suez has the advantage, for it can cut Its present rate of $1.55, and still pay good dividends. The only way for us to secure even the small part of traffic which Is competitive would bo to make the canal free.

Ouf English Letter *_. ALFONSO S1IAVKS IN YARD. king's \Vi*h to Remain Incognito Respected in (astile, King Alfonso of Spain is fond of taking motor trips incognito. He motored rscently through a wild region of Castile and put up at a modest inn. "I am sure.'' he said, ''that they won't know roe here." Well, they did know him there. They treated him like an ordinary- traveller, so much so that when he went to shave the next morning he found there was no mirror in his room. So -ie went into the inn in his shirt sleeves and there a cham- bermaid brought him a broken piece of mirror which he set up be- side the well. Finally she said : "You are not just an ordinary traveller, are you!" '\Vliy do you ask me- that?" "I don't know," said the maid, ''but there's something about you perhaps you belong to the royal court at Madrid )'' "Yes, I do," he answered. "Perhaps you work for his Ma- jesty himself?" "Yes, I do." "And what do you do for him!" asked the chambermaid. "Oh, lots of things,'' the King re- plied. "I'm shaving him just now." 18 YKARS IN COM) STORAtiK. Quarter of Beef Appeared Perfectly Hun nd. A quarter of beef kept for eigh teen years in cold storage was ex- posed to the public view for an hour and a half at the Smithfield (!AUI- don) markets recently. No test was made of its eating qualities, but the meat appeared perfectly sound, al- though slightly faded. 1't was put back into storage to remain an ob- ject -of curiosity, the owners hoping it may bo allowed to complete a century, at least. The quarter was shipped from Tirisbnne, Australia, in February, 1896, to a firm of military contrac- tors at Malta, who used it for ex- perimental purposes. When the Government recently took over the storage at Malta, the firm shipped the piece to London.

The provisioning of the British Isles is one of the marvels of the world. The foreign produce imported is by far the largest Item in the national food bill. It Is imported from practically every country on the globe and totals $1.- 375,000,000 a year, rather less than a third of which Is credited to British I oversea pot-sessions. The largest Individual contribution, $175.000,000 worth of food, comes from Argentina. of other countries outside of Europe the L'nlted States comes next, with about $10,0000.000 less, fol- lowed by India, with J125.000.000; Can- ada with $100.000.000', Australia with $70,000,000; New Zealand with $30.000.- 000, and so on through a list of eighty or ninety separate countries down to Afghanistan's modest contributions of $3, ISO worth of dried raisins. In these bills the figures given are for H'lZ^thc largest amounts paid to the respective countries were for meat from Argentina, wheat nnd tea from In- dia, wheat l'rm Canada, wheat and meat from Australia, mutton from New Zealand and wheat and bacon from the United Stutes. There Is still one figure to be added which surpasses all the n-st in Interest, not on account of its magnitude but for precisely the oppo- site reason. Kight years ago the imports of chilled and frozen meat from the United States were valued at more than $126.000.000. In 1U12 they had sunk to $75.000,000. In Kuropa there are three countries Denmark, c the Netherlands and Ger- many each of which exports to us food to the value of $50.000.000 or more. The Danish and Dutch exports total $105.- 000,000 and $70.000,000 respectively. It seems almost Incredible that Denmark, one of the smallest countries of the world, should be able to supply us with food, c briefly butter and eggs, worth i more than a quarter of the value of our , food Imports from all the British pos- 1 sessions abroad, even though some al- lowances must be made for the fact that Denmark draws from Russia part of the supplies which she exports to this country. The case of Ireland Is even more striking. Not many persons I--M V-' that she is Ureat Britain's largest provlslon- er. with a total of $150.000.000 worth of food a year. In 1V12 sh- supplied the sister Island with !'>.000.000 worth! more meat than Argentina: with more butter than any other country but Den- mark: more VKKK than any but Russia and four timhen as much poultry as her nearest competitor. Beel Tiust Prob* In London. The City Corporation of London has considered th- case of the big American meat trust firms and their alleged con- trol over the Kngllsh meat supply. The proposal wan made that the develop- ment of such a trust slild be clipped by ula.-iiig a limit on the number of stullF it may hold In the SmtthfU-ld Market, but the corporation, accepting the report of the special committee, has decided not to Interfere. The committee saW that the condi- tions of business and the nature of the trade huve very materially changed dur- ing the last t'-ri years and that the ten- dency to elii ;inate the middleman, or commission ,n;ent. and to concentrate the ti'Hile into fewer hands Is affecting the imat trade as well as other activi- ties. The corporation decided, however, by 90 votes to 70. to have u private In- quiry to ascertain which sections oi the market, if any, are under American control. Talks AMU After Ten Yr>.

On tihis, his last journey, the stages afei more definitely marked and tha cities through which he passed men- tioned. Preceding lessons tell ol his entering Jericho, of his dining at the house of Zacchaeus, a chiel publican, of his passing through the city, meeting the rich young man, giving the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, and re- plying to the inconsiderate demand of James and John for the firs* places in his kingdom, with hia teaching of greatness through 'ser- vice. Now, on his way out of the city, he sees a despised blind beg- gar by the wayside, and discontin- ues his discourse to teach by exam- ple a lesson of brotherlineBS and helpfulness.

When he heard that it wa9 Jesus the Nazarene Bartimaeus, though blind, knew that an unusual number of people were passing, and he may have inquired the cause. He had no doubt heard of Jesus be- fore as the prophet of Nazareth, and the hope of receiving help for himself, as he had heard of others having received it, arouses him to put forth the greatest effort to bring his request to Jesus. Son of David A popular name for the Messiah, whom the people expected, as the prophets had fore- told, would be a descendant ol David . This title is here used for- the first time in Mark's Gospel. 48. Many rebuked him They did not wish to have Jesus troubled by* the shouts of a blind beggar. He cried out the more a great deal Not being able to see Jesufl,< or to tell where he was in the crowd, the blind man felt that his opportunity was passing, and his cry was ono of desperation. 49. Jesus stood still He could not let the piteous appeal pass un- heeded. 50.

Kverji few minutes they would throw t,hen> selves exhausted on the ground. and then their excited roaster woiila assail them with whip, boots and verbal pyrotechnics simultaneously, Altogether, it was pictuj'e*qu, but ineffective pU.wing.
