After all, there Is nothing that af fords some people more real pleasure than agreeable work. Happy is the region that, undis turbed by greater cares, worries about a visitation of mosquitoes. What the trainmen mean in their reference to the living cost la that they can't make the grade. Now they are blaming the con sumer, who should have more sense than to pay such high prices.

No more delicious dish for dessert can be served than one of sliced peaches with cream and sugar. When peaches are plentiful one likes to vary the serv ing. A most ap petizing pie may be made by baking a rich crust and when cold fill It with sliced peaches well sugared and covered with sweetened cream.

Palace and prison, once noted also foi Its menagerie and Its pageantry, birthplace and death house of mon archs, scene of hairbreadth escapes and reputed hidden treasures, ghostly In its memories of tortures and (tilling and sacred for Its martyrs, the Tower of London amply warrants description as the "most ancient and most poetic pile In Europe," reads a bulletin of the National Geographic society. William the Conqueror gave Lon don n charter, but built the White tower to show the people how little that charter might mean. Like the English constitution the rambling Lon don Tower of today Is a product of centuries, and not one, but many tow ers, are now scattereU over some IS acres. The site had been a fortress since Roman limes. To the Middle Tower Elizabeth caine bnck a queen five years after her Jealous half sister, Mary, had kept her there u prisoner. The humpbacked Richard III hired three assassins to muder his nephews In Bloody tower. Not until years later were their bones found anil taken to Westminster abbey. Lady June Grey, she who "had the birth of a princess, the life of a saint, and the death of a malefactor," was beheaded In London tower. By Its Aid Long Island Woman Gath ers Ninety Quarts in Day. Sayvllle, L. I. Mrs. Margaret Cross of Sayvllle, L.I., went hucklebcrrylng. She carried an umbrella. Neighbors asked her if she feared rain, but she only smiled. Reaching a spot where the berries grew thick, she opened it, Inverted It under n bush and shook the bush vig orously. The berries fell Into the um brella and were easily transferred from It to Mrs. Cross' berry pall. By this means she gathered 00 quarts during the day, thereby estab lishing a record for one day's picking, it Is said. Fraudulent Old Clocks. The brass lantern clocks of the six teenth and seventeenth centuries have made n strong appeal to collectors, and tills fact has led tiythe manufac ture of replicas of the old clocks. When these are sold frankly as rep licas, there Is nothing to be said ngulust such a practice; but. unfor tunutely.lhe matter does not stop here mid too often the attempt Is made to palm off nn Imitation as n genuine old clock. Famous makers' names are ndded and various expedients adopted to make the new clock pass muster as nn old one. Such frauds ore deplora ble from every point of view, aud the Ignorance of many collectors makes success possible. Every one, It Is ob vious, cannot possess a genuine old clock. It would be well If this fact were faced, and the clocks bought simply us reproductions, by all those who ore not In a position to make reasonably sure that they are really purchasing a genuine old English clock. Christian Science Monitor. The government has presented to tho state, through Adjutant-General Btarin. official battle flags of the 163d Oregon infantry and the 66th Coast irtillery; also a large national flag for the HW When a man reaches the point where nothing but lemon extract or bay rum will satisfy him, he'd better run round a telephone pole until he's dizzy.

"Faith and foolishness will cure any disease," says the cynic, and Judging by some instances of miraculous whole sale cures, there seems to be some ground for the assertion. There Is the historical episode of the prince of Orange, for Instance, who during one of his campaigns, cured those of his soldiers who Were dying of the scurvy by a piece of quackery. With his doctors, who were In the secret, he said he had procured a med icine really a decoction of camomile, wormwood and camphor of the great est rarity and value from the East.

An Argentine doctor In a Spanish medical review states that there are many articles of diet in hot weather, which, although sound and nutritious In themselves, are positively danger ous when taken with other foods. Everybody today recognizes the harm of drinking tea with a meat meal, the tannin of the tea rendering the meat as indigestible as leather. Yet lu these days of summer dishes, one is not aware perhaps of the fact that vinegar retards the digestion of food, and that the smallest quantity will lengthen di gestion by 30 minutes at least.
