Sugar frequently soars to a price too high to use at canning time. Canning without sugar is merely a matter of adding boil ing water instead of suup and finishing in the usual manner. The process is urged and highly recommended by State College. Fruit should be graded for size and ripeness. Clean by placing in a strainer and pouring boiling water over it; pack carefully in jars and add boilng water to fill the jars, put on rubbers and cov er jars lightly. The jars should then be placed in a wash boiler with false bottom, or similar container, and sterilized thirty minutes, counting . the time from the moment the water in the boiler begins to boil. After sterlizing jars should be removed and sealed. Extension Circulars 44 and 62, of the Pennsylvania State Col lege, contain complete informa tion on canning. WEST DUBLIN.

SEE BEAUTY IN MUSTACHE Ainu Women Tattoo the "Decoration" Both on Their Upper and Lower Lips. The Ainus, the "Celtic" race of Japan, live in the island of Yeddo, although the race has become so re duced that there are now not more than sixteen or seventeen thousand of them left in the country. The most noticeable peculiarity about Ainu' women is that they have tat tooed upon their upper and lower lips what resembles a mustache. The women are not considered attractive, and their matrimonial prospects are quite injured, without this decora tion. The mustache is begun when the girl is quite a child. It is done gradually, a little each year, until it extends partly across the cheek, the material used being the soot from burning birch bark. The face is cut and the black rubbed in. Afterward it is washed in a solution of aBh-bark liquor to fix the color. The Ainu women are usually finely formed, straight and well-developed, with small hands and feet. Their eyes are a beautiful brown, their hair black and most luxuriant, and their com plexion olive, with often a deep, rich color in their cheeks. The native cloth of which their garments are made is woven from the fiber of the bark of the elm tree. LIVED AN ADVENTUROUS LIFE Captain Selout Completely Happy When Ho Wat Entirely Out of Touch With Civilization. The remarkable career of the late Captain Selous, D. S. 0., the famous hunter and explorer, who at the age of sixty-five died fighting for his country, fills every schoolboy with a longing desire for adventure. He was only twenty years of age when he went to Matabeleland, in days when railways were unknown there, and when the interior of the country was a sealed book to the European. For years he was in un known countries, hunting elephants, lions and other animals, and at one period he was nearly three years without seeing a newspaper, a tele gram, or any kind of money. Yet he was perfectly happy. He spent nearly a quarter of a century of his life penetrating the interior of South Africa. Then he went to Alas ka on a 15,000-mile tour in search of moose and caribou. It is not generally known that he was the original of the daring, shrewd, dryly humorous Allan Qua tennain of Eider Haggard's famous novel, "King Solomon's Mines." USES OF WOOD PRODUCTS General Public Not Thoroughly Famll. lar With tha Variety of Ways in Which It Is Employed. There is a far greater variety of uses for wood products than the pub lic realizes, and at the present time the discovery of new and interesting applications is progressing rapidly, through the efforts of investigators, many of whom are employed by our government. Powder for munitions or blasting, disinfectants for protec tion against disease and artificial silk for clothing are among the products obtained from wood in whole or in part, says Popular Mechanics Maga zine. The acetone used as a solvent in making nitrocellulose powders is derived from nitric acid, a product of hardwood distillation. Black wal nut is so much in demand for gun stocks that other woods, especially birch, are being substituted. It is stated on good authority that in Eu rope 'there is a shortage of willow for making wooden legs. The forest products laboratory at Madison has conducted extensive experiments in the production of grain, or ethyl, alcohol from wood, and has had some success in raising the yield and lowering the cost of production. If this process can be put on a commer cial basis, it will make available for profitable use millions of tons of sawdust now wasted. NOTHING TO LOSE.

HAILED AS LAST OF HIS KIND Work of "Buffalo Bill" as Interpreter of West to East Not Likely to Be Continued. For years "Buffalo Bill" was the interpreter through whom the East came to understand the region be yond the Mississippi. His fame and his character were a revelation which helped the older portion of the coun try to understand the problem in volved in bringing the West into full membership in the task of working out the nation's destiny. The work of Cody was a work which neither statesman nor soldiei could have done adequately. In a sense, Cody was both statesman and soldier; in every sense he was a high ly useful American. The generation that witnessed his exploits can have but small appreciation of the lasting service he performed in helping to weld America into one nation of har mony and understanding. Cody was the last of his kind. He has no successor. The exploits that made him famous cannot be dupli cated; the work he did is a lasting service that cannot be duplicated. Around his memory are gathered some of the best traditions of the na tion, and every American with pride of race in his heart mourns at his grave. Cleveland Plain Dealer. PUNISHMENT TO FIT CRIME Oldtlme Citizens of London Seem to Have Been Blessed With a Keen 8ene of Humor. In the city of London records of 1364 it is stated that a certain John Penrose, a taverner, was convicted of "selling unsound and unwhole some wines to the deceit of the com mon people, to the contempt of the king, to the shameful disgrace of the officers of the city, and to the griev ous damage of the community." His sentence was to be imprisoned for a year and a day, to drink a draught of the bad wine, to have the rest poured over his head, and to for swear the calling of a vinter in the city of London for ever. Our ancestors had a fine sense of making the punishment fit the crime. A man who surreptitiously tapped a London water conduit in 1478 was set on a horse with a vessel like a conduit on his head. Out of the vessel, which was constantly re plenished with water, ran a number of small pipes. These played merrily upon the offender as he was led round to the nine conduits of the city, where his crime was publicly proclaimed. London Tit-Bits. FAMOUS 8COTCH JOURNAL The Edinburgh Scotsman, which was founded in 1817, celebrated its one hundredth anniversary on the 25th of Januarv. A remarkable fact in connection with the Scotsman is I that on its business side the paper has been through all its century of activity under the control of two men, the younger of whom was close ly associated for 13 years with the elder, and is still in active super vision of its affairs. On the editorial side its direction has been in the hands of only four men. The Scots man was founded as a weekly and became a daily in 1855. Its motto from the beginning may be said to have been "Liberty and Moderation." TOO 8MART. Lady Yes, I advertised for a maid of all work. Are you an early riser? Applicant Indeed, I am, ma'am.

When the Vendome column was created in 1806, it was surrounded by a statue of more than three meters, representing Napoleon, garbed as a Roman emperor. He held in his left hand a little winged Victory,, in bronze, the feet of which rested upon a globe. In 1814 when Caesar be came Bonaparte,, the statue wad taken down, not without trouble, and taken to the foundry where it was re cast in the form of Henry VI, des tined for the Pont-Neuf. The little Victory appropriated by some work men, escaped recasting. The statue of the emperor was replaced by a white fleur-de-lis flag, which was taken down in 1830. The following year saw the placing on the monu ment of another statue of the little corporal. Twenty years later Na poleon III decreed that the Roman emperor should take his place in the sky. Dumont, who was commissioned to this work, executed the statue that we see today. The last littlo Victory was found and replaced in the im perial hand. In 1871 the Commune pulled down tiie column. The statue of Dumont was repaired and erected a second time on the reconstructed monument on the 28th of December, 1875. But the little statue of Vic tory had crumbled into the soil. It will return in a new work by An tonio Mercie that will be called "Gloria Victoribug." Le Cri de Puris.

At the time of the disastrous fire, which ruined the Edison electrical plant at East Orange, N, J., the salvers were unable to find the jars containing diamond points used with the disk phonograph. Since this loss of several thousand dollars' worth of points might have been prevented, had the searchers been provided with powerful enough lights, the inventor at once turned his attention toward making such a searchlight When turned upon the side of a building at night, the result is a glare equal to that seen at noonday. The light will be invaluable in fire-fighting, doing night track-construction Work, il luminating mines in emergencies, and in coast life-saving work. The searchlight is somewhat of a heavy weight, and must be hauled on a truck by two men. Juniata College offers instruction in the following department The College, with A.
