By CARL 8CHURZ VROOMAN. UPON entering Italy every trav eler 1 confronted by a ques tion, upon his answer to which depends in large measure the success or failure of his trip. That question Is: "What are you will ing to omit?" Not In a lifetime can one see every thing, and If his Btay is limited to a few short months he must be discrimi nating during those months or disap pointed at the end of them. The most rational plan, therefore, would seem to be co devote approximately half the allotted time to one city in order to know at least one small region inti mately. With the insight into Italian life and the sympathy with the Italian spirit thus gained, the rest of the country ought to prove an open book which can be glanced through, even hurriedly, with both delight and profit. Of course when It comes to deciding :whlch city shall thus be studied at 'leisure and made the key of the rest iof Italy, one can only say, as did (Schopenhauer when told that the Jews 'were God's favorite race: "Tastes differ." Florence Inspiring. Vonice rising from the sea, clad In 'mystery and beauty, Venice with her unrivaled school of colorlsts, truly Is a name to conjure with.

On arriving in Florence one Is apt at first to be not so much inspired as dazzled and bewildered by the art treasures on all sides. Every church, hospital, orphanago, monastary or mu nicipal building Is crowded with price less frescoes and adored with Inimi table creations In marble and bronze, bn every crumbling wall or celling where to early Italian or renaissance artists had been given a few square yards of available space, one is amazed Jude Johnion's Surrender, Jude Johnson was overcome by the heat thla afternoon while working In his garden, and haB turned over all of his garden Interests to hlB wife. Atchison Globe. , Ing the Illuminating little Beries ot volumes on the "Italian Painters of the Renaissance" by Mr. Bernard Beren son. With ' these writers and numerous lesser lights available for ciceronea It is difficult to understand the willing ness of so many travelers to limit themselves to the prosaic, not to say archaic guidance ot Baedeker. Un questionably the omnipresent if not omniscient Baedeker makes a valuable servant, but I can affirm from expe rience that he makes a bad maBter. To his myriad disciples, however, on all matters, from a knotty question In history to a Judgment on art, ho is consulted as final authority. His as terisks are their guiding stars. Where he puts two stars there they pause and admire; where he puts no stars darkness reigns for them. A more serious blunder, however. than that of these conscientious "star- gazers" 1b made by sightseers who, in their efforts to take a short cut to cul ture and Bee galleries wholesale, deliv er themselves body and Boul into the hands of the misinformation dlspenB- ers commonly known as guides those blind leaders of the blind. The hordes of these disgusting crea tures who haunt the museums, churches and galleries of Europe are made up for the most part of the ref use of the more difficult or more crowded professions. They are dis abled day laborers, hotel waiters out of a Job, retired cab drivers or other unfortunates. On the Wrong Side. I once heard of a guide, provided by a well-known tourist company at Paris, who, after having conducted a party two-thirds through one of the rooms of the Louvre, explaining about every fifth picture as he went, sud denly stopped, consulted some notes and said: "I beg pardon you'll please retrace your steps. I've or made a slight mistake. I've explained the wrong side of the room."

No. 32, IBM WUKN arritlni to adertnvara, plaeN Ma ' tio. thla pMpvr.. A whimsical chauffeur played an amusing hoax on the electors of tho little village of lHisslcres-Hort'y, near Limoges, during tho recent electoral contest. BusBleres-Boffy la In the center of a Socialist constituency, and the chauf feur ot the Comto tie Monstlers-Merin- v 111 li was mistaken by tho peasants for the Socialist candidate, M. Val Here. He took advantage of the vil lagers' error to deliver them an nil dreus from the motor-car, In which, In true Socialistic style, ho foretold the time when all the estates of tho rich would bo divided among the poor. "What will wo get?" an old peasant called out "Three acres and a cow, each of you," replied the chauffeur, with a vague idea that he bad read some thing like that in a newspaper. "That's uot enough," the old mm (.rumbled. tomntlcnlly to the lips of the Initiated traveler on finding himself called upon to discuss pictures with an artist or art critic. These knowing creatures dread this little prefatory remark as much as a sea captain does that equally absurd query of passengers: "Captain, how many times have you crossed?" A famouB Scotch artist, on hearing this artistic credo for about the four hundredth time, said, "Dlnna sny thot! Dlnna say tbot! The beasta of the Held ken ns mooch!" Nevertheless, whatever profession'! ills may say to the contrary, the attl tude Involved in this hackneyed phrase Is the only rational attitude for the be1 giuner. It Is n form of mental honesty without which any real esthetic devel opment Is Impossible. By knowing and enjoying und enjoying without shame what you really like, yot ever striving to learn to like the best is tho development ot your esthetic na ture possible, and in no other way. One fact of peculiar significance to Americans stands out large and lumi nous In the Uvea and works of all the great masters of Italy tho fact that supreme greatness is Incompatible with hurry and fret. It took Orcagna ten yenre to make tho Incomparable marble canopy In tho church of Or San Mlchele, und It took Ghlbertl twenty one years to make the gates of the baptistry at Florenco which Michael Angclo declared lit to be tho "gates of paradise." These men demanded only a living and a chance to do their best work, but that gave them immortality. win twelve acres and two cows suit you?" the chauffeur continued. Ho then pulled out his pocket book and tearing out a leaf, wrote, "To Mon sleur tho Mayor: Allot to bearer ID acres and two cows." The peasants were enthusiastic un til, after the chauffeur's departure, tncy presented his vouchor to the mayor. Appetizing With "Filling" of 8tiff On ange Marmalade Nut-Drop Con fections Popular With Every bodyClover Biscuits. Light, flaky, biscuits, temptingl browned, always receive a smllin( welcome at the table. But have yov ever tried any variations of your stand ard recipe? I have experimented and have concocted some goodies that dis appear like cake, writes a contributoi to the Woman's World. They are de liclous not only for the home meal but for lunches. And the housekeep er finds them Just the thing to servt with chocolate as light appetizing re freshments to guests. Orange two-story biscuits are mj own Idea. To make them, sift togeth er two cupfuls of bread flour, two tea spoonfuls baking powder, half a tea spoonful salt and a tablesponful ol Bugar. Beat one entire egg and add two-thirds of a cupful of sweet mill for wetting the dough. No shorten ing is used. Knead the dough llghtlj and roll thinner than biscuits are ubu ally made. Cut the rounds with e cookie cutter or the open end of i pound baking powder can. From hall of the rounds remove the centeri with a smaller cutter. Spread th whole rounds with melted butter, laj one ot the dough rings on each and till the centers with stiff orange mar malade before baking. Nut-drop biscultB were my next sue cessful trial at making "goodies." Foi them, sift together a pint of flour half a teaspoontul of salt and two tea spoonfuls of baking powder. Rub It generous tablespoonful of buttei and stir to the consistency of a thici batter, using sweet milk to moisten Add half a cupful of chopped nuts and drop the dough with a spoon upoi greased baking sheet, leaving ar, Inch between "drops" for swelling. Sandwich biscuits require four cup fuls of flour, four tablespoonfuls o! baking powder, a teaspontul of Bait two tableBpoonfulB of meat drippings half a cupful of milk, and water t complete the wetting to the ordinary biscuit consistency. Roll the dougl thin, like pie crust, cut, spread hall tho rounds with butter, add a fllllnt of seasoned, finely ground, cooked ham, then lay on the covers and bake Clover biscuits are dainty mouth fuls. Use any standard recipe foi tegular biscuit dough. Cut lntc rounds an Inch In diameter. (I use the center of my round loaf cake pan inverted, as a cutter.) Place the tin rounds In threes in greased gem cak pans and glaze the tops with egj yolk mixed with a little water. Wher, baked, the group of three from each mold will come out In trefoil shape They are nlqe to serve with cheese Hot-cross biscuits taste good at an peason of the year. Their ingredient! consist of: One quart flour, one tea tipoonful salt, four teaspoonfuls bakini powder, half a cupful of butter, half i leaspoonful each of ground clnnamoi find nutmeg, one tablespoonful Snel chopped citron or candied orang peel, half a cupful of currants, ons egg, and Bweet milk to make a 11 rn (lough. Some brands ot flour absort more moisture than others, so the amount of milk or water used tor bis cults is not absolute. Roll an lnct thick, cut In large rounds, cut twe gashes at right angles across the to of each, and moisten the tops wltt milk before baking. Some cooks like to fill the cross cuts with sugar. "have Fruit and Vegetables May Be Bought While Cheap and Preserved Al most Indefinitely. It Is much more Injurious to food to keep It In a box with a scant, supply of Ice than to leave It covered on a pantry shelf where there Is a good supply of fresh air. If one must be economical with Ice wrap each cake In a piece of old woolen blanket, which must be removed and boiled in water and baking soda once a week. Fruit and vegetables may be bought at the height of their season, when they are at their beBt and cheapest, and by simple and safe methods kept until a later time, when they will be more of a delicacy because out of sear son and more expensive to buy, and more than likely not in the market at all. Lettuce, parsley and all other green things may be kept dellctouBly fresh If first washed in cold water, shaken and then packed In a tin pall that has a very tight cover, so that the air may not penetrate to them, and set In a cool place. In the case of lettuce, when the cover Is removed the leaves will pop up and you will find them as crisp and fresh as if they bad just come from the garden. . Even lettuce that has wilted to a sorry state will revive wonderfully if subjected to a few hours of Bu.cn treat ment To purify greens that are to be eaten raw, use a pinch ot boric acid powder in the water In which they are washed. Tomatoes picked when Just ripe and firm and attached to the stems will keep almost indefinitely with no no ticeable loss of freshness if covered with brine made by dissolving a tea cupful of salt in a gallon of pure, fresh water. Place them in an earthen vessel. A mixture of water and vine gar will also keep them fresh for a long time. To treat cabbage in order to have lit , retain all its fresh, crisp, clean qualities for a long time, strip off the ropt and old outside leaves clear down to a compact head. Take two or three thicknesses of clean newspapers and wrap up each cabbage in a tight, neat little bundle. Place in a box or barrel. If you will take freshly gathered green corn on the cob or carefully shelled peas or beans and dip them In boiling water, then dry them In a room in which there is a tree circu lation ot air, they will keep for a long time and retain all their freshness and flavor. Triumphs of American Medicine. In 1914 medical science will save 670,000 lives in the United States, as a result of the progress that medicine nas made In. 24 years. Applying to Hie whole country the death rate that obtained in 1890 this year would wit ness the death of 1,960,000 people. Ap plying the death rate of 1912 the total number of deaths will approximate 1, 390,000 people. Enough people to pop ulate- a city like' Baltimore will be saved in a single year by the progress of medical science. The whole world was stirred to the core when the Ti tanic went down, and yet the toll of 500 Tltanlcs would not be as great as the number of lives saved In a single year by medical science, comparing 1890 with 1912.

Since the United States Department of Agriculture has discovered that It Is practically impossible to bring sat isfactory celery to market unless the plants have been sprayed with bor deaux mixture, or the salts of copper declared Injurious for use In food prod ucts, two warnings have been Issued, one to the housewives telling them to wash the celery before using it and the other to the farmers telling them that the danger In using this blight preventative was due to a faulty spraying apparatus. It should be spread at high pressure to make a fine mist Instead of In a stream which set tles on the leaves and runs down the stalks. In this way it settles In the roots and Is not washed away by the rain, giving the celery a blue look. However, even If the spray Is prop erly used the department of agricul ture . advises the conBumer to break the bunches and wash and scrub the Stalks before they are eaten. Chem ical analysis proves that his cleans ing removes nearly all the copper, left by the spray and prevents Injury to those eating the celery. .

In this dark ness he fought with an old earl, threw him heavily and, when he did not risa after the loud thud of his fall, Irving would cry out: "Great heavens! What have I done?" One night he played the part In a small English town. A stage hand was very much Impressed with the -play and to him the scenes quickly became real. So that when Irving reached the climax, felled the old eaii to the ground and spoke the line, "Great heavens!
