THE USE OF CONDIMENTS.
(Are Necessary to n Moderate Extent
In Some Eoods. Hut Should He
timed ivitb Cure.
Authorities on food and health admit
that dishes which “taste {food” are
more perfectly digested and assim
ilated than food which gives little or
no pleasure in eating; and to go a
step further; muoh food requires more i
or less seasoning and flavoring to make !
it palatable. This must not be con- 1
strued so as to sanction the daily in- !
dulgence in hotly spiced soups, meat
dressings and cakes, hot sauces, pickles, ■
sausages, etc., nor the giving to eliil- *
dren of any other condiment or season- j
ing than salt, says American Queen.
Most children and many adults, gen- I
erally persons of the serene, phleg
matic temperament, are satisfied with
natural flavors, and seldom crave any j
addition to sufficiently salted food. Yet I
pepper, mustard, mint, thyme, sage \
and the other savory' herbs, gingers,
cinnamon, nutmeg and their sister
spices and all the flavoring extract
family have their uses, and alas,
their abuses. Many a little child
is allowed to blacken its mash
ed potato with pepper and to con
sume huge pickled cucumbers; as it
grows older sausages and stuffed meats
are naturally craved, and the end of it
all is before that child reaches matur
ity indigestion or chronic dyspepsia is
established. To be sure, there is
now and then an iron constitution and
an excellent digestion that can with
stand great abuse and neglect, but it
is the exceptional man who possesses
these gifts; we have never yet seen the
female who could indulge freely in
condiments without paying the inev
itable penalty.
The effect of the condiments is to
stimulate the flow of saliva and gastric
juice, and the time to use them is
when partaking of some article of
food that is particularly hard to di
gest. For instance, baked beans are
very hearty, and to many people quite
indigestible; a sprinkling of tomato
catsup or a bit of mustard pickle will
generally help the stomach to take
care of them. If one must eat corned
beef and cabbage and ham, some
mixed mustard is a welcome and salu
tary addition.
Vinegar and lemon juice used occa
sionally and moderately increase the
solvent property of the gastric
juice, and are particularly agreeable
on oily fish or on some dish following
or accompanying a rich soup or gravy.
In favor of spices very little can be
said. Ginger is the least injurious and
is sometimes used medicinally. It
seems as though an appetite must be
in an advanced state of depravity to
crave spiced food continually.
The flavoring extracts are all good
in small quantities, though the juice
of fresh fruit is immeasurably prefer
able. Flavor should not be added to
food while hot, as heat weakens the
extract.
IN FASHION’S REALM.
Artistic Novelties That I.e-uil Attrac
tiveness to the Season'**
Costumes.
Monogram stockings are the correct
hosiery.
Straps, play an important part in all
the frocks of the year.
A striking white shirt waist -is
trimmed with many bright red bands
and metal ornaments.
A smart tan-colored silk petticoat
has eight tiny ruffles, each trimmed
with black and white silk braid.
Some of the new stocks are embroid
ered in tiny colored figures, outlined in
black, giving a jeweled effect.
Aigrettes are largely used upon the
new hats and promise to be as impor
tant a millinery feature as they were
a few years ago, says the Chicago Daily
News.
With regard to small checks and very
narrow stripes there is no doubt. Be
fore long we shall see much of these,
both for visiting toilets and walking
dresses, and they will, perhaps, pre
pare the way for piece-dyed taffeta and
faille.
Many of the newest toques are made
entirely of chrysanthemum straw,
which really needs very little in the
way of trimming, just a chon here or
a tiny bunch of blossoms and perhaps
a black velvet bow.
Billowy masses of chiffon and lace
render some of the hats visions of
beauty, and these delicate tissues are
to be one of fashion’s favorite trim
mings. Women always like those
dainty, fluffy creations, and in hats the
effect is particularly charming.
A very pretty novelty was a sash of
pink liberty, with the long ends round
ed off instead of pointed. All around
the edges were tiny chiffon roses in
pale pink and at the back of the waist,
where, the streamers are fastened,
were clusters of these same delicate
flowers.
A Ilyßlenle Hint.
• Mix two tablespoons of flour and two
of butter, cook until it begins to bub
ble, add gradually half a cup of hot
stock and half a cup of milk. When the
sauce boils, set into a dish of hot wa
ter and stir in the beaten yolks of two
eggs, half a cup of cooked asparagus
tips, a teaspoon of salt, a dash of say
enne pepper and a tablespoon of lem
on junce. In place of stock the water
in which the asparagus was cooked
may be u-ed. This sauce is excellent
served with broiled cutlets or with
warmed-over meats. Jn this case adc
on extra half cup of asparagus tips.—

Not a Question of Appetite.
“Pooh!" said Daisy, scornfully." The
idea of your being afraid of a poor old
house dog! Why, he eats out of my

to eat out of my leg.”—Smart Set,
DETROIT RIVER MAILS.
A Unique Serviee That Is Full of Ex
citing Incidents null Is Invul
unlile to Ship Owners.
In this great fleet is every conceiv
able kind of craft, from the magnifi
cent three-stack liner down to the
rusty little old gravel scow that
heats its way up against the four
j mile current or comes to an anchor
Ito wait for a favorable Breeze. The
of the wheezy old sand sucker
are waited on as quickly as are the
j smart-looking officers in their blue
j coats and gold braid pacing the
j bridge of the big white fliers. A
j deckhand’s postal card goes in the
i same mail with his captain's bulky
: trip sheet, and both are delivered to
gether. The value of this service to
, vessel owners is illustrated bv the
number of telegraphic orders sent to
their ships while passing Detroit, a
1 two-eent stamp affixed insuring de
livery by the mail boat, says St. Nich
olas.
Sometimes a special delivery letter
or telegram will come io the marine
office for a ship already in sight ap
proaching. A signal is run up on the
flagstaff, the mail boat comes hur
riedly in, leaving the carrier in mid
stream to take care of himself. The
special is taken aboard and soon
placed on the passing ship, possibly
changing her destination and saving
her owners a lot of trouble.
Sometimes some quick work is
necessary in getting out the mail for
a vessel appearing unexpectedly on
the river, but never yet has tlie mail
been lost or delayed. The minute de
tail in tlie work of the United States
postal service is here shown by the
record of every ship passing, kept to
tlie minute, as well as the number ot
letters taken on and off each vessel.
In service of this kind the unex
pected often happens. Every ship
must be visited alongside, no matter
whether it is day or night, or wet or
blowing hard. Thecarriernever knows
what the next hour has in store for
him; lie may be drenched to the skin
as his little boat goes leaping like a
monstrous fish attached to a long
line through the roiling swell of
some close-passing boat, or plashing
from crest to crest of a choppy sea
dug up by a screaming sou’wester
straight up tlie river. Whatever hap
pens, he knows lie can swim, and so
does not get nervous when his boat
crashes over that of tlie clumsy
newsboy who has tried to take the
starboard side also; but lie cuts liis
line and rows back in time to rescue
the vender of papers from his sink
ing boat. Once in awhile his boat
fetches up under the condenser dis
charge, and it takes only a few sec
onds to get enough water in her to
make it rather unpleasant; but as
she is built to float always, the mail
delivery goes on just the same, al
though the letters may be a little
damp. As nil sailors are used to the
wet. they care little for that.
The number of lives the mail boat
and carriers have saved during their
few years of service amounts to
more than a score. Anxious to get
their letters, sometimes sailors have
leaned too far over the ship's rail
and gone overboard with tlie pail
they were lowering to the carrier—
only to be picked up by him a little
later and placed on board the vessel
again. In her trips back and forth
on tlie river, the mail boat has been
present at more than one accident,
and so lias several times been the
means of saving life.

HE GROWS BOOTJACKS
Maine Man Adds New Item to
State’s Agricultural Products.
Abandoned Farm Turned Into a Nur
sery for tlie PurpoMe linked Good
Return—How the Thing
Wan Done.
Five years ago, when Asa Penney re
turned from Boston to the old farm he
found the place badly run out and the
fields grown up to a thick crop of gray
birches, which were too small for fire
wood and wholly unfitted for anything
else.
As soon as he had cleared a garden
spot and made a few repairs on the old
buildings he began to look about to
find a use for the birches. The trees
were from ten to twenty feet high
and none of them was more than four
inches in diameter at the butt, says an
East Eddington report in the New |
York Sun.
There was not a man in town who
would take the job to cut off the trees
for the wood they would yield, so Pen
ney made up his mind to convert his
abandoned farm into a nursery for ,
growing bootjacks.
Four years ago last spring when the
leaves were sprouting he went to the
fields and selecting the most thrifty
birches, cut off the tops at a point
where two limbs branched out from
either side, and having made pollards
of all the trees that produced good
forks, he thinned out the under
growth, giving his bootjacks a better
chance to grow.
The removal of the tops threw all
the sap in the trees into the two limbs,
which grew rapidly, forming a double
top, one branch shooting aloft by the
side of the other and both forming the
groundwork of the bootjack that was
to be.
Aided by sunlight, and rain the plan
tation made such headway that this
winter Penney has been able to cut the
larger trees and mold them for mar
ket. To do this he cut the tops off
about two feet below the point where
the limbs separated and then severing
the limbs a few inches from the fork,
took the pronged sticks home and
whittled them into shape by the even
ing five.
When the bark was taken off from a
stick and the cuds were squared and
trimmed, tv small piece of hardwood
was nailed crosswise just below the
fork, so ns to give the mechanism a
proper tilt, and ns soon as the finished
product had been coated with raw oil
to prevent the wood from checking.
Penny had a new bootjack ready for
market,
Penney hauled his bootjacks to the
nearest railroad station by sled anil
shipped two car loads to Chicago. The
first cor load yielded him an average
price of 22 cents for every bootjack in
the lot. For the second shipment the
receipts were two cents less, a fact
which was due to overcrowding the
market.
The next load w ill be sent to Minne
apolis, where there is said to he a
brisk demand for bootjacks. As Pen
ney’s bootjacks are made from the
natural forks of trees, instead of being
sawed from a board by a jig saw, they
will not only endure a heavier strain,
1 but will get a firmer grip on the heels
of boots that need pulling.
This raising of natural bootjacks Is
n new industry for Maine, and prom
ises to yield a large profit to those who
engage in the business. Mr. Penney
says bis runout farm will yield about
2,000 bootjacks to the acre, and when
they {ire gone tlie limbs and trunks
1 which lui has put down will make ex
cellent firewood,

THE SULTAN’S SERAGLIO.
Romantic lluildinjrs In tlie Heart of
Constantinople with n Strnniie
History.
People who have read .fanciful de-
Ecriptjpns of Constantinople, penned
i by poets, artists and other sentin-.cn
! talists, have an impression that the
| seraglio of the sultan is a place of j
j mysterious seclusion; that it lias j
something to do with the harem and j
other private affairs of his imperial j
majesty, but it is nothing of tlie soft,
writes William E. Curtis in the Chi
cago Record-llerald. Literally, a
seraglio means a portico or vestibule
surrounding any habitation, palace,
kiosk or mosque, but the term is com
monly used as a collective noun, and
refers to a collection of buildings used
for different purposes, such as the
residence of a pasha, his harem, his
offices, his stables and the mosque
that is attached to all of the large
establishments in Turkey.
The seraglio of the sultan is a large
' collection of buildings inclosed by a
mighty wall, covering the extreme
point of the peninsula upon which
Stamboul sta..ds, and dividing the sea
of Marmora from the Golden Horn,
j It is the most interesting spot in
all Turkey from a historical stand
point. There is no place in the east ex
cept the Holy Land which has somany
associations. It is to Constantinople
what Kremlin is to Moscow, the Es
curial to Madrid, Potsdam to Berlin,
Versailles to Paris, and perhaps we
may compare it with Hampton Court
near London.
The garden of the seraglio was the
Acropolis of the original city, the site
of the “pnlatiiim sacrum” of Constan
tine. the citadel of his successors, the
palace of Justinian and Placidia,
queen of the Goths. Few spots on
earth have had a longer or more tragic
history. From the gardens of the
seraglio sailed the ileets of the Phoeni
cians, the war barges of the Romans,
the triremes from Asia, the galleys of
Darius the Persian, of Xerxes, of Alex
ander the Great, Philip of Mneedon.
and T would not he surprised if
Agememnon, Ajax, Achilles and those
bold old warriors had landed there
many a time. The gilded barges of
Venice and Genoa brought their sol
diers here and from that landingplaee
carried away millions of plunder. The
feet of the crusaders trod the gravel
walks, Richard the Lion-Heart, God
frey de Bouillon, and the Frank em
perors made it their headquarters in
the time of the crusades. Since the
occupation of Constantinople by the
Turks, the resplendant caiques of the
sultans have come and gone, some of
them bearing candidates for uneasy
thrones and others desperate crea
tures, seeking refuge from a miser
able death.
From the time of Mohammed IT.,
who took Constantinople by storm In
1453, to Abdul Medjil, ill IS(>4 who de
serted it for the more cheerful palace
of the Dolorna Bajtche on the bank*
of the Bosphorus, 23 sultans have been
imprisoned or murdered, or died by
violence within the palaces of the
teragljo. For four hundred years (he
fate of the sovereigns of Turkey was
subject to the caprice of the all-pow
erful Janissaries, who made it their
headquarters. Up to the beginning of
the last century it was the fashion for
the Janissaries to decapitate unpopu
lar sultans and ministers and expose
their heads upon the pillars of thp
gate in order that the public might
know what had happened. Two niches
on either side of the Sublime Porte,
which is the main gateway to the
seraglio, were made for that purpose.
Sometimes, however, as a special mark
of vengeance or honor, the heads were
placed, like that of John the Baptist,
Upon a silver charger and left outside
wherp )he public could examine tlipni
closely,
Over the Sublime Porte, a stately
arcii with ponderous gates, is an Ara*
bic inscription reading: “May Allah
ever preserve the glory of the pos
sessor; may Allah ever strengthen his
foundations.”
In the first large court, known as
the court of the Janissaries, is an
l-normous tree called by their name,
under which they were in the habit of
hatching their conspiracies. It is said
to be the largest tree in Europe, and
two stunted columns under its far
spreading branches once servpd as a
guillotine. There are many buildings
within the walls, in addition 1o the
palaces, the harem, the barracks of
j tlie soldiers and those used for official
purposes. The mint Is there, the ar
senal, magazines for the storage of
explosives, a hospital, the imperial
stables, quarters for an army of
slaves, several pleasure kiosks and a
piosqne. Tlie Greek church of St.
Irene, nrectfsd by Constantine ]hp
Great, which was converted into an
armory instead of a mosque, is a ven
erable monument of the Byzantine
style of architecture. In the museum
of thp armory is the scimitar used by
Mohammpd 11. jn thp siege of Const?!!*

DIAGNOSING HYDROPHOBIA.
ißtsrrstine Sclentlllc Experiment!
Recently Mu<le Upon Suspected
Dobs.
There are few maladies that pit*
zle physicians so much as hydro
phobia in its early stages. There can
\)e no doubt that there is such a dis
ease, and that it is communicated to
! human beings by the bite of a mad
I dog. There is some difficulty, how
ever, in determining, in the case of an
| attack upon a person, whether the dog
is really a victim of this disorder or
not. Very often tlie animal escapes
capture. Those who witness its be
havior are apt to be excited and to ex
aggerate their descriptions. A dog
will not infrequently be irritable and
snappish when something is wrong
with its digestion or from othei
causes, but without being affected
with true rabies. When a doctor is
called in, therefore, he is usually un
able to judge whether or not there i*.
any danger from the bite, says the
New York Tribune.
For this reason it is in the highest
degree desirable that a dog which goes
about biting people should he cap- j
tured promptly. If 1 it lias been shot ;
without any preliminary inquiry by an '
expert the body should be saved for
examination. If the animal is still
alive, it may be decided to kill it
eventually, because the only evidence
of real value can be obtained only
after death.
Rabies, like lockjaw, is a nervous
malady. It attacks the spine, brain
and nervous system. As yet the bac
teriologists have not been able to de
tect any microbe which is characteris
tic of the disease, and hence there is j
no use in looking for one in the saliva, 1
blood or tissues. When a ease is so far
advanced that the canine victim dies j
from it a certain portion of the brain
—the medulla oblongata —is found to
he congested, and very often some of
the nerves are partially broken down.
Even yet the matter is under investiga
tion, and the authorities are not alto- ;
gether agreed as to the signs. But !
when the disease has not made enough
headway to kill the dog these changes
in the nervous tissue are presumably
less conspicuous, and not easy to dis
cover.
An Interesting scries of experiments
with suspected dogs is now being re
ported by European medical period
icals. Von Babes, of Bucharest, was
nlde to secure 487 of these animals.
Portions of the medulla oblongata
were Injected into rabbits, and 410 of
the hitter dfed in consequence In be
tween one and five weeks. Microscopic
examinations of the brain tissue, how
ever, while conclusive in about, four
fifths of the eases, did not supply ade
quate evidence in all of them. Sti 11-
t.liat test has the merit of yielding re
sults immediately, if it yields them at.
all, whereas the inoculation method
involves a delay of two or three
weeks. The gain in time is exceeding
ly valuable, of course, since the Infor
mation Is obtained In time to dictate

ranged in a circle, but no rule was fol
lowed, and many old Hags show the
stars in the shape of the letters “U.
S.” It was finally decided, however,
that the stars should be put on in reg
ular rows, as at present. Each time a
new state is admitted to the Union a i
new star is added to the Held of Old j
Glory. There are now forty-five stars, i
with Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari
zona clamoring for places in the field.
